"Are you really okay, sis?"
"Why do you look like you’re about to die?"
Seeing Candy not bothering to get medicine from her brother and instead making snarky comments, Zhou Yaling felt like puking blood.
"I’m not dying yet, but if you don’t go soon, I might actually die."
Zhou Yaling knew Candy well; if she didn’t go along with Candy’s thoughts, the questions would be endless.
"Ah!"
Candy, scared out of her wits, shouted for her brother and ran downstairs.
To an outsider, it might really seem like Zhou Yaling had kicked the bucket.
"Brother, brother."
Mo Jingchun frowned, watching Candy charging down and shouting all the way.
"I can hear you; just say what you want to say, okay?"
"Oh right, right!"
Candy slapped her thighs and said, "Sis is about to die, you need to get medicine."
What the heck??? Mo Jingchun looked puzzled.
Seeing Candy blabbering nonsensically, Mo Jingchun got up to check upstairs.
Candy rushed and left the door open, so Mo Jingchun heard Zhou Yaling groaning even before stepping in.
Walking in, my goodness, her face was pale; no wonder Candy said her sister was dying.
"Are your ’relatives’ here?"
"Oh my—" Zhou Yaling nodded weakly.
"That’s odd, I’ve never seen you with a stomachache before."
"Maybe you should get changed and let me take you to the hospital; you look really scary."
"Oh my—just give me some painkillers and let me sleep it off."
Mo Jingchun looked seriously at Zhou Yaling, who didn’t want to go to the hospital, then turned to get a box of painkillers from the home medical kit and brought a glass of warm water to Zhou Yaling’s room.
"We have medicine at home, but if it doesn’t help, you’ll need to go to the hospital."
Seeing Zhou Yaling take the painkillers, Mo Jingchun glanced at Candy lying by the bedside.
"Candy, you stay here and keep an eye on your sister."
Candy looked at her brother, full of doubt, and asked, "Brother, what about you?"
"Me? I’m going to make some ginger brown sugar tea for Oh My—"
"Is there some for me?"
Mo Jingchun twitched his lips and said helplessly, "I’ll make a bit more."
After Mo Jingchun left the room, Zhou Yaling kept groaning.
For a moment, Candy didn’t know what to do.
After a dozen minutes or so, whether from the medicine working or a placebo effect, Zhou Yaling felt her stomachache easing.
Candy, blinking and waiting for a while, finally said,
"Sis, why did you stop groaning?"
"It’s kind of unsettling."
Zhou Yaling was too weak to speak, just gave Candy a dying glare.
Ginger brown sugar tea wasn’t difficult at all for Mo Jingchun, even though it was his first time making it.
So Zhou Yaling and Candy could drink to their heart’s content, Mo Jingchun decided to brew a large pot.
When Zhou Yaling saw her brother carrying a kettle and holding a few disposable cups into the room, she was stunned.
That kettle must hold about four or five liters!
Putting a couple of cups on the bedside table, Mo Jingchun poured out the steaming ginger brown sugar tea.
"Let it cool a bit, then drink it slowly."
Saying this, he also placed the kettle down, preventing Candy from accidentally knocking it over and burning herself.
"Looks like the medicine is working. What do you want for lunch? I’ll cook."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yaling hesitated and asked, "Can I have noodles or porridge for lunch?"
"No problem, taking care of a patient after all."
After a joking comment, Mo Jingchun went downstairs to make lunch.
Porridge is fine; anyway, there’s no work to do at home.
Beside the bedside table, Candy held her nose, looking at the red sugary water in the cup in front of her.
"Brother’s lying again, calling it brown sugar water; since when does brown sugar water have such a strong smell?"
"It’s ginger," Zhou Yaling quietly reminded.
Not even five minutes passed before Candy, unable to resist, wanted to taste it.
"Be careful not to burn yourself."
Fortunately, Mo Jingchun knew Candy well and had brought extra disposable cups.
With three layers of protection, it didn’t burn her hand at all.
"Phew~"
Blowing gently, Candy took a small sip.
In an instant, Candy’s eyes lit up; surprisingly, this stuff tasted good.
"Sis, you should try it, it’s really good!"
As if a minor miracle happened, it’s just ginger brown sugar tea, how good could it be?
Zhou Yaling took a small sip, simply a regular taste.
Watching Candy finish her ginger brown sugar tea, Zhou Yaling was surprised as Candy suddenly turned and ran.
Less than a minute later, Candy ran back.
This time, Candy was holding a water bottle.
That water bottle was very familiar to Zhou Yaling; it was the one Candy took to school every day.
Seeing Candy prepare to pour for herself, Zhou Yaling panicked.
The water in the kettle was so hot, what if she got scalded?
"Don’t, let me pour it for you."
With a full large cup of ginger brown sugar tea, Candy nodded in satisfaction.
"Sis, I won’t disturb your rest anymore."
Waving goodbye, Candy left without any reservations.
No more pain and plenty of warm brown sugar tea; Zhou Yaling felt much more comfortable lying in bed.
"Burp~"
Just as Mo Jingchun set down a bowl of food on the dining table, he heard Candy sitting on the couch watching TV let out a loud burp.
Turning around, sure enough, the little one was hugging her water cup, drinking from it now and then.
"Stop drinking, we’re about to eat."
"Oh, burp~"
The next second, Candy quickly put down the cup and sprinted to the restroom.
"Oh no, oh no, I’m going to wet my pants."
Hearing this, Mo Jingchun braced himself for the possibility that six-year-old Candy might wet her pants.
Luckily... Candy held it in.
In the kitchen, Mo Jingchun filled half a bowl with porridge and another half with food.
"White."
"Take it to Zhou Yaling."
...........
Hearing footsteps, Zhou Yaling thought her brother had brought food, but when she looked up, it was White.
Seeing the full bowl of food, Zhou Yaling was speechless.
Is this food? No! It’s just an expression of her brother’s love!
But truth be told, isn’t this a bit too much food?
How can anyone finish such a large bowl?
Downstairs at the dining table, Candy only wanted half a bowl of porridge.
"Brother, my tummy sloshes around when I walk, what should I do?"
Mo Jingchun glanced at Candy’s small tummy and said, "What should you do? Toss a salad."
"You drank so much ginger brown sugar tea, no wonder your tummy’s sloshing."
"I really don’t understand what’s so tasty about ginger brown sugar tea; I cooked it myself, and I don’t even want a sip."
Candy gave a sheepish smile and quietly ate her food.
Drinking too much really isn’t good, there’s a risk of wetting your pants.
If she hadn’t sprinted earlier, she’d be in big trouble.
At six, wetting your pants could make your brother and everyone laugh at you for a long time.
If Mo Jingchun knew what Candy was thinking, he’d probably say, "You’d remember that for a lifetime?"
