“Spouse, don’t say something.”

Chen Yan settled on this manner.

Later, throughout their dialog, Cheng Yun tried a number of occasions to probe, however he couldn’t uncover Chen Yan’s background or details about the daddy in his arms. Each time they mentioned his personal issues, the younger Ge’er’s complexion would flip pale, and he would tremble uncontrollably.

So Cheng Yun stopped asking, he was only a younger Ge’er who was pregnant, and he wouldn’t have a big affect on them. Presently, an important factor was to stabilize the younger Ge’er’s feelings and make sure the security of his child.

After breakfast, Physician Liu got here by once more. He checked Chen Yan’s pulse and knowledgeable him concerning the instability of the fetus in his stomach. He hinted that Chen Yan ought to keep a cheerful temper, keep away from anger and unsightly feelings, and supplied some being pregnant care recommendation. The prescription was adjusted, and Yang Hongjin went with Physician Liu to get the medication.

Chen Yan remained quiet. When listening to Physician Liu’s phrases, he memorized every little thing he mentioned, often stuttering to ask a query.

Cheng Yun watched from the aspect, pondering to himself.

Judging by his earnestness, it appeared that this youngster needed to guard his child. But when that have been the case, why was he alone in ragged garments, stranded within the rural countryside amidst ice and snow?

Did he not know he was pregnant beforehand, or did surviving an excellent hazard make him understand the worth of life and cherish the child in his arms much more?

Cheng Yun couldn’t know these items, however since Chen Yan had determined to maintain the kid, he would do his greatest to help him.

He had gained a second probability at life earlier than, and even now, he didn’t know what had occurred to him throughout that point. However that didn’t cease him from valuing life and hoping that others would do the identical.

After seeing Physician Liu off, Cheng Yun cleaned up the storage room for Chen Yan, shifting unused objects out to make extra comfy residing area.

Chen Yan stood by the door, wanting to assist. Seeing Cheng Yun bustling round, he felt a bit embarrassed, however Cheng Yun labored rapidly. Earlier than Chen Yan might determine what to do, the mattress was already made.

As Cheng Yun rotated, he noticed Chen Yan and mentioned, “The garments you have been sporting yesterday have been torn. I modified them for you. You’re a bit shorter than me and nearer in construct to my youthful brother. Put on my garments for now, and later I’ll deliver you some appropriate garments from my brother.”

Chen Yan nodded and rapidly added, “It’s… it’s okay, I can simply put on no matter. You don’t want to bother your self.”

Cheng Yun waved his hand in reassurance and continued shifting issues out of the storage room, saying, “I’ve been idle at residence as of late, so I’ve loads of time. I principally pickle greens. You’ll be able to learn to do it with me. In a few days, I’ll be heading to Nanming Metropolis. You’ll be able to contemplate coming alongside. Should you don’t wish to, you’ll be able to keep at residence and discover one thing to do.”

Chen Yan nodded obediently, saying, “Alright.”

Seeing his response, Cheng Yun figured that there was probability he wouldn’t come alongside. However since there wasn’t something beneficial at residence, he wasn’t apprehensive about leaving Chen Yan alone.

Chen Yan had scratches and bruises on his fingers and toes, and he limped whereas strolling, wanting fairly pitiable.

When Yang Hongjin returned from Physician Liu’s, he introduced some ointment. Seeing Chen Yan fumbling, Cheng Yun immediately helped him apply the ointment.

As soon as Yang Hongjin was residence, he caught to Cheng Yun. When he noticed Cheng Yun going to get Chen Yan’s garments, he grew to become barely sad. However when he observed the bruises on Chen Yan’s arm, he grew to become immediately anxious.

Proper at that second, Cheng Yun appeared like he was about to talk, and Yang Hongjin, in a state of panic, acted sooner than he thought. He rapidly reached out and coated Cheng Yun’s mouth.

Cheng Yun: “?”

Chen Yan: “?”

Anxious, Yang Hongjin checked out Cheng Yun after which glanced at Chen Yan. He leaned nearer to Cheng Yun and whispered, “Spouse, don’t say something.”

“Huh?” Cheng Yun mumbled, pushing his hand away. “What?”

Yang Hongjin defensively glanced at Chen Yan, his fingers fidgeting, and mentioned in a hushed voice, “It’s about him being injured. Spouse, don’t discuss to him.”

“Um?” Cheng Yun responded in a confused tone after a second, earlier than lastly understanding his intention.

So, this man remembered the incident when Cheng Yun had used his Phrase Spirit to heal his accidents final time. At the moment, his hand had been bleeding profusely, and Cheng Yun had merely mentioned just a few phrases to shut the wound. However the second time, when Cheng Yun had used his Phrase Spirit to heal his head whereas he was nonetheless recovering, it had backfired and affected his physique immediately, casting some shadows on Yang Hongjin.

Nevertheless, Cheng Yun was fairly stunned that Yang Hongjin managed to attach these two incidents. Furthermore, the primary time Cheng Yun used his Phrase Spirit, Yang Hongjin hadn’t totally recovered but…

“Spouse?” Seeing Cheng Yun’s sudden daze, Yang Hongjin softly known as out, bringing Cheng Yun again to actuality.

He smiled wryly and replied, “Don’t fear, I gained’t ‘discuss’. I’ll simply apply some ointment.”

After receiving Cheng Yun’s assurance, Yang Hongjin lastly relaxed. Nevertheless, he nonetheless stood there, preserving an in depth watch on Cheng Yun’s fingers, afraid that somebody would possibly make the most of his spouse.

Chen Yan was a bit frightened of Yang Hongjin. He might sense that Yang Hongjin’s thoughts is likely to be a bit off, and there was additionally appreciable hostility from him. However as a result of relationship with Chen-Ge’er in entrance of him, he had been enduring every little thing.

Being a visitor and never understanding a lot, each step he took was cautious to keep away from making errors. With the male head of the family displaying hostility in the direction of him, he might solely attempt his greatest to scale back his presence and keep out of sight.

Chen Yan had a weak physique and was pregnant, Cheng Yun didn’t dare let him do any strenuous work. Observing his slender, delicate, and truthful fingers, Cheng Yun realized he in all probability hadn’t performed a lot handbook labor in his life. Thus, he didn’t even dare to assign him duties like washing greens.

After considering for some time, Cheng Yun ended up giving him just a few white radishes to work on. He requested him to slice them in a specific manner and handed over just a few that he had already ready as examples.

“These are samples. Simply reduce every white radish to match this form.” Cheng Yun rapidly reduce just a few items and positioned them in a plate on the aspect. “After you’ve sliced them, put them in right here to marinate. You don’t have to rush; simply watch out to not reduce your fingers.”

Chen Yan nodded, picked up one of many neatly sliced radishes, and examined it from totally different angles. Seeing how skillful Cheng Yun was, he felt assured that he might handle, “Okay, I perceive.”

Watching him for some time, Cheng Yun observed the nervousness from being watched within the youngster’s eyes. However regardless of his nervousness, Chen Yan was a fast learner, and the duty was simple. He reduce just a few items and shortly, he acquired the dangle of it.

Cheng Yun returned to the kitchen to take care of his duties. In lower than ten days, the inspection crew from the capital would arrive in Nanming Metropolis. In preparation for that, Liu Wen had requested Cheng Yun to arrange some presents for the officers of the inspection crew as a gesture of goodwill which they might take again when it was time to go away.

Liu Wen’s preliminary plan was to reward every official two jars of Sauerkraut. Nevertheless, Sauerkraut alone may not be very spectacular, so Cheng Yun wanted to provide you with one thing else he might do.

After pondering for a very long time, he out of the blue acquired an concept after seeing Chen Yan at this time.

Again when he was in faculty, there was slightly boy in his class with a child face. The feminine classmates within the class at all times gave him snacks. As soon as, Cheng Yun additionally acquired some snacks from him.

Chen Yan made Cheng Yun consider that classmate, after which to the nougat he had been given.

On the time, Cheng Yun actually loved consuming that nougat. He had appeared up the recipe on-line and knew that easy nougat may very well be made with marshmallows. Nevertheless, he didn’t have the instruments to make marshmallows now. How might he stick the opposite elements collectively? It was an enormous drawback.

Cheng Yun began by testing with egg whites. He added sugar and cooked it till it grew to become sticky. He then added crushed peanut kernels and wrapped every little thing in a clear oilcloth.

He took the ready ‘sweet bag’ outdoors the window. The winter temperature was notably low, and it cooled down rapidly.

Fastidiously lifting the material, Cheng Yun noticed that the sweet bag appeared to have solidified, forming a block. However when he reduce it with a knife, it didn’t flip into the block he had anticipated; as an alternative, it crumbled into two items like atypical sugar cubes.

This technique didn’t work, so he needed to discover one other manner.

He stood within the kitchen, wanting round, with varied elements and prospects popping into his thoughts.

Lastly, his gaze fell on the ‘maple syrup sweet’ in Yang Hongjin’s hand.

“Fool.” Cheng Yun’s eyes out of the blue lit up, and he reached out. “The one you’re holding, let me see.”

Yang Hongjin was licking the syrup sweet. It was the maple syrup sweet Cheng Yun had made for him utilizing the leftover maple syrup.

He obediently handed it over and mentioned fortunately, “Right here. Spouse,it’s scrumptious.”

Cheng Yun took the maple syrup sweet and picked up a bit with chopsticks. As he watched the golden syrup dripping down, an concept out of the blue struck him!

Maltose!

The stickiness of maltose might bind the nuts collectively. If dealt with correctly, it would obtain the specified solidification impact. Furthermore, maltose was available on this period; each family made some to offer to their youngsters.

Cheng Yun handed the maple syrup sweet again to Yang Hongjin, then held his head and gave him a hearty kiss, making a ‘puff’ sound. “It is a reward for you, good boy!”

Yang Hongjin was momentarily shocked, undecided what had simply occurred. However that didn’t cease him from being completely satisfied.

So he put his hand behind Cheng Yun’s head, and gave him a kiss once more, securing slightly profit and having fun with himself.

Time was of the essence. Cheng Yun instantly went to borrow some maltose from Aunt Wang’s home. As he left the kitchen, he observed Chen Yan quietly slicing radishes in the principle room, reminding him that there was one other individual in the home.

Seeing Chen Yan’s purple ears and the way he virtually buried his head within the radishes, Cheng Yun immediately realized that this child had overheard their dialog.

He had been so excited a second in the past that he utterly forgot about this. He was so used to being affectionate with Yang Hongjin at residence that he didn’t even take into consideration avoiding suspicion. Now that an outsider had heard it, Cheng Yun felt a bit embarrassed.

Nevertheless, Cheng Yun had thicker pores and skin than Chen Yan. He acted as if nothing had occurred, casually saying, “I’ll be proper again,” earlier than leaving with out wanting again.

Chen Yan watched Cheng Yun’s departing determine after which glanced in the direction of the kitchen. A touch of intriguing envy appeared in his spherical eyes.
