Chapter 150 - Feed a Child” (1/2)
Shi Qingxue smelt the sweetness of the cubilose and sniffed, but she didn’t open her mouth. She tilted her head and looked at Mo Junyang in confusion. It seemed that she didn’t know what he would do.
“Drink, this.” Mo Junyang tried to explain with simple words and opened his mouth to have a try. He didn’t like eating sweet food. Then he put the spoon beside Qingxue’s mouth, comforting her as if she were a child. “Good girl. Drink it.”
Shi Qingxue put her hand on Mo Junyang’s wrist like before and licked it gently. Then she licked her mouth, showing a happy smile. It was obvious that she was satisfied with the food.
Mo Junyang also smiled. “If you like it, eat more.”
Shi Qingxue let Mo Junyang put the spoon in her mouth and then swallowed the cubilose porridge slowly.
When Mo Junyang took the second spoon, she didn’t eat it but stared at him.
“Don’t you like it?” Mo Junyang had never fed a child. Especially Shi Qingxue couldn’t say anything. Even though he was smart, he didn’t know what she wanted.
He put the spoon on Qingxue’s lips again, but she pushed it back and raised her hand to push it to Mo Junyang’s mouth, gazing at him with her big bright eyes.
Mo Junyang asked, “…Do you want me…to eat?”
He was not sure.
Shi Qingxue couldn’t speak but repeated what Mo Junyang had done earlier, and put the spoon on his lips.
Mo Junyang had to take a sip. When he prepared to swallow it unwillingly, Shi Qingxue couldn’t wait to hold the spoon in her mouth and bite it before swallowing all. Meanwhile, she smiled at him sweetly.
Xia Mang was speechless and thought her eyes would be blind.
Oh, God. She ate something delicious and would let him taste it first.
However, Shi Qingxue didn’t think it was wrong. She sat on Mo Junyang’s knees properly and held her face with both hands, smiling at him. She looked like a little woman saying, “I am nice. I wait for you to feed me.” Xia Mang watched and felt a stomachache, unable to see that anymore.
Mo Junyang’s intellect told him that Shi Qingxue was not normal, but he couldn’t help liking that. There was even a moment that he felt it would be great if his Qingxue were like this for a lifetime.
She relied on him only, and there was nobody but him in her eyes and world.
It was one thousand and even ten thousand times better than his fantasy, because this was the reality.
But Mo Junyang couldn’t feel happy for long because after Shi Qingxue took only a few bites of cubilose porridge, she refused to eat more no matter how he comforted her. She just buried her head in his arms.
When he asked, she didn’t answer. When he pushed her, she cried and screamed, but she couldn’t express what she wanted.
Mo Junyang was almost going crazy and told Wei Zichao to bring Shen Luo here. Then wearing a long face, he asked, “Can you cure her?”
Shen Luo had been in the pharmacy checking all the medical books and records in the past two hours and tried to find a way to cure Shi Qingxue, so he answered instantly, “It looks like she suffers ‘memory loss’ recorded in a medical book of my master. The patient would forget some people and something that happened in the past, and the serious ones might forget everything in the past or can’t even speak. They have to act by instinct, like a newborn baby. Shi Qingxue seems…”
“Cut the crap. Just tell me, can you make her speak?” Mo Junyang impatiently interrupted Shen Luo’s long speech and asked what he cared about most.
“Of course it’s no problem. Give me some time, and I can cure her…” Shen Luo promised without thinking, but while speaking, he suddenly found something wrong.
Mo Junyang asked him like that and didn’t urgently want Shi Qingxue to fully recover. It seemed that he just wanted her to express her feelings…
Shen Luo pondered carefully and felt scared.
He trembled and looked at Mo Junyang, asking with caution, “Junyang, how well do you want her to become?”
Was it the same as what he thought?
Xia Mang heard that and replied hurriedly, “Of course he wants you to cure Lady Qingxue and make her the same as before.”
She purposely stressed the words “the same as before”. Then she glared at Mo Junyang, seeming to question, “You don’t want my lady to fully recover? What do you want?”
Mo Junyang lowered his head and avoided Xia Mang’s glare. Then he looked at the girl in his arms and asked in a hoarse voice, “Can you cure her if you don’t use those strange medicinal materials?”
“It might be difficult.”
Shen Luo stretched out his hands helplessly and pointed at Shi Qingxue who curled up in Mo Junyang’s arms. “Look at her. She has forgotten everything in the past obviously, like an ignorant newborn baby. If I don’t use medicinal materials to incite her, how can I make her recover?”
“If you use the medicinal materials, can you promise that she won’t have anything wrong unpredictable?”
Shen Luo frowned and responded, “Memory loss is not a slight cold. Even my master left only one prescription without an experiment record. I don’t dare to promise the effect.”
Xia Mang said crossly, “Since you don’t dare to confirm anything, why do you want to use it to treat Lady Qingxue? Is she your medical guinea pig?”
Shen Luo lowered his head and didn’t say anything.
“Well, no need to talk about the medicine for now.” Mo Junyang rejected Shen Luo’s “treatment method”.
Then he added, “You said it is difficult. In another word, you can make her speak without using medicine, right?”
