Yè Wǎnwǎn: “……” Damn it, my stomach… hurts?!!
“Look, even though I have gu worms in my body, immune to all poisons, the gu worms detoxify, which still involves a process. It’s not like they’re miraculous elixirs that instantly cure everything. That dried-up butterfly is fatally poisonous. When the gu worms detoxify in my body, my stomach definitely hurts.”
Níe Wúmíng explained logically, leaving Yè Wǎnwǎn momentarily unsure how to respond.
“You tell me, what were you lingering around for yesterday? I told you to run, but you didn’t run… If you had run earlier, I would’ve run too. My stomach is killing me, and you’re still not running. You’re really something… Brother.”
Níe Wúmíng stared at Yè Wǎnwǎn.
Yè Wǎnwǎn: “…” How should she respond to this?
She was genuinely worried, fearing any unexpected turn of events from Níe Wúmíng, and yet… all he mentioned was his stomach hurting.
“Early on, I kicked them away with a single kick and ran as well. How did I end up getting beaten like this? Look at my face, all bruised from being punched,” Níe Wúmíng snorted.
Hearing Níe Wúmíng’s words, Yè Wǎnwǎn’s mouth twitched slightly… Seriously? She wanted to say something!
Now, Yè Wǎnwǎn understood that she couldn’t approach problems involving her dear big brother with normal logic!
Before Yè Wǎnwǎn could reply, the door to the hospital room was pushed open, and Sī Yèhán walked in with two breakfasts in hand.
“Brother-in-law, why did you take so long? Did you want to starve me?” Seeing Sī Yèhán’s return, Níe Wúmíng immediately took both breakfasts.
“You were asleep, so I went to buy breakfast. I didn’t want to wake you,” Sī Yèhán said softly when he noticed Yè Wǎnwǎn’s gaze on him.
“This is for you.” Then, Sī Yèhán took out another breakfast and offered it to Yè Wǎnwǎn.
“Brother, it seems like my sister’s portion… is a bit tastier,” Níe Wúmíng glanced at Sī Yèhán.
“They’re the same!” Yè Wǎnwǎn gave Níe Wúmíng a side-eye.
“Okay, then…” Níe Wúmíng shrugged.
“Have you eaten? Let’s eat together,” Yè Wǎnwǎn pulled Sī Yèhán to sit on the hospital bed.
“No need, I’ve already eaten,” Sī Yèhán said gently.
Looking at Níe Wúmíng and the man before her, Yè Wǎnwǎn’s lips curled slightly, filled with a sense of happiness.
“Oh, by the way… Brother, your birthday is in a few days,” Yè Wǎnwǎn looked at Níe Wúmíng.
“Yeah, so what?” Níe Wúmíng looked curious.
“Brother, what kind of gift would you like?” Yè Wǎnwǎn smiled.
Hearing this, Níe Wúmíng stroked his chin, lost in thought.
After a moment, he looked at Yè Wǎnwǎn and said, “How about…”
“Anything you want,” Yè Wǎnwǎn’s smile didn’t fade.
“Well, how about you kowtow to me?” Níe Wúmíng said.
Yè Wǎnwǎn: “…”
Sī Yèhán: “…”
Yè Wǎnwǎn stared at Níe Wúmíng, what did he just say? He wants her to kowtow to him for his birthday?
Is he serious?
“What the hell, it’s just a birthday. Why should I kowtow to you?!” Yè Wǎnwǎn felt like slapping Níe Wúmíng to the depths of the earth.
“Didn’t you say anything goes? Well then, for my birthday, you kowtowing to me isn’t abnormal, is it?” Níe Wúmíng said matter-of-factly.
Yè Wǎnwǎn took a deep breath, trying to stay calm. Were she and Níe Wúmíng getting a bit too confrontational…
“Brother-in-law, did I say something wrong? For my birthday, is it weird to ask your wife to kowtow to you?” Níe Wúmíng turned to Sī Yèhán.
Sī Yèhán: “…”
Níe Wúmíng rubbed his chin and reluctantly said, “No need to kowtow then. Just say that sentence you told me before!”
Yè Wǎnwǎn watched him warily. “What sentence?”
Níe Wúmíng’s eyes gleamed with anticipation. “The one where you said I’m the greatest hero in your heart!”
Yè Wǎnwǎn never expected that he heard that while he was unconscious.
Yè Wǎnwǎn: “I’ll go with the kowtow, thanks!”
