Chapter 127 Auntie, you don’t want uncle either…

Lu Mingfei finally understood why Su Qian ran to the door and stood there with such an ugly expression. From the last time when Su Xiaoqiang and the others were "warmly" entertained at Chu Yuzhen's house, he knew that the weird aunt Su Xiaoyan was actually a very warm person.

Although she is already a mother of a high school student, she still acts like a child who has not grown up. Only when facing the younger generation, she seems to be able to use her age advantage, warmly entertain them, and regain some dignity that an elder should have.

Lu Mingfei stepped back subconsciously, and then found that the door was closed. He didn't even need to think about it, it must be Chen Motong who did it! Why did she give him and Sister Chu some time to be alone together, why did she run all the way to find him, it turned out that they were waiting here!
"Xiaolu is here too, come and sit down!" Su Xiaoyan stood up and greeted Lu Mingfei enthusiastically.

Lu Mingfei, who wanted to leave as if he had entered the wrong door, smiled dryly and sat over timidly: "...Hello, Aunt Yan."

Su Xiaoyan said with a smile: "It's not someone else, why are you being polite?"

It's because you are not someone else that I am so polite to you. Lu Mingfei said so in his heart, but on the surface he smiled and looked at the thermos cup brought by Su Xiaoyan with his eyes hidden. The rainbow-colored soup that may contain the entire periodic table of elements was undoubtedly her own work.

"Su Xi is such a good girl. She has the same last name as me. I don't know which Su family she is from. Maybe we are relatives." Su Xiaoyan, who was holding a thermos cup, sighed deeply and said, "It's a pity that she didn't like the fish soup very much. She drank two sips and didn't want it anymore."

The rainbow soup gurgled, and a fish head with eyes still open floated up, looking very much like a national dish of Great Britain. Lu Mingfei then realized that this was actually fish soup.

Seeing the strange aunt's lack of self-awareness, Lu Mingfei sat like a good boy and didn't dare to speak. But it was obvious that there were some things that he couldn't get away with by pretending to be dumb.

"Xiao Yu doesn't seem to have much of an appetite. It's a pity to take it back like this." Su Xiaoyan looked at Chu Yu Yu, who was also silent, with some regret, then looked at Lu Mingfei expectantly and said, "Xiao Lu, have you eaten yet? The last time you and your classmates came here, I saw you finished the soup. I was quite happy."

Did you finish drinking? Sister Chu was afraid that you would be sad to see the untouched food, so she disposed of it all! Lu Mingfei roared in his heart, but still said obediently on his face: "Thank you Aunt Yan, I have eaten it."

Su Xiaoyan felt a little regretful, so she continued to pester Chu Yuyi and said, "Xiaoyi, drink a little more. Drinking soup can help your body recover."

Lu Mingfei's obedient smile remained unchanged, but his eyes couldn't help twitching. After taking this bottle, even if he wasn't sick, he would have to stay in the intensive care unit for two days.

"I've been in good health." Chu Yuwei shook her head and said.

She was fine to begin with, and was healthier and more energetic than ever before. She was willing to lie here because she was annoyed by Chu Tianjiao's nagging.

"Your words don't count. Only the doctor's words count." Su Xiaoyan rarely said something sensible, and then said angrily, "Your dad is such a fool. Why would he take you to put out a fire?"

Then she added, "I asked someone and they said that water controls fire. The fish soup made from the fish in this water will definitely be able to put out the remaining anger in you."

Chu Yuyi, who was having a hard time putting out the fire on her body, lowered her head silently, stared at the dying fish head silently, then looked away and said, "I don't want to drink."

"Drink some more~ Drink some more~ I've been up all morning~" Su Xiaoyan pouted.

She is already old but still acts like a spoiled child with her daughter. Her appearance makes it easy for people to misunderstand her age, and it is hard to tell who is the mother and who is the daughter.

Chu Yuwei turned her head silently and glanced at Lu Mingfei who was trying to reduce his presence. Lu Mingfei, who was silently saying "You can't see me" in his heart and looking up to count the non-existent stars, noticed her gaze and looked at her in the same way. Chu Yuwei didn't say anything, and her eyes were no different from usual, with the same indifference. But Lu Mingfei found out what she wanted to say, which was probably "How dare you let a patient like me drink this kind of thing?"

If you say so, I am also a patient! Lu Mingfei responded with his eyes. Chu Yuwei remained indifferent, still looking at him silently, with the same meaning in her eyes.

So, Lu Mingfei raised his hand tremblingly: "...Aunt Yan, I'm a little thirsty and want to drink some soup."

Su Xiaoyan turned around in surprise and handed the thermos cup to Lu Mingfei with a smile: "Xiao Lu is still the best, drink it quickly, it will be bad if it gets cold later."

Lu Mingfei lowered his head and stared at the fish head silently. He took a deep breath and encouraged himself in his heart that he had survived the nutrient solution hell, so what was a mere dark dish?
At worst, this can be used as a way of fighting poison with poison. Maybe after drinking it, his sense of taste, which used to taste like nutrient solution in everything he eats, will be restored?

Thinking of this, Lu Mingfei exhaled, picked up the thermos cup and drank it in one gulp... Then, he seemed to see his great-great-grandfather, whom his grandfather might not even have seen, waving at him from the sky. The official uniform of the Qing Dynasty looked like a zongzi in a zombie movie.

"Burp..." Lu Mingfei burped colorfully, put down the thermos cup and wiped his mouth. Then he realized that he had thought too much, and the result of fighting poison with poison might be that it would become more poisonous.

Facing Su Xiaoyan's expectant expression, Lu Mingfei forced a smile similar to Su Qian's and praised her reluctantly, "It's... quite delicious."

"That's great. There's still half a pot of rice simmering on the stove at home. I'll ask Aunt Tong to bring it to you right away!" Su Xiaoyan took out her cell phone with a happy look on her face.

“Don’t…don’t…” Lu Mingfei, feeling that he had difficulty speaking, stretched out his hand tremblingly to stop him.

Chu Yuyi held the hand of her mother who looked very happy, hesitated for a moment and said: "... Dad has been very busy these days, let's leave the rest to him."

Su Xiaoyan touched Chu Yuzhen's hair lovingly and said with emotion: "That's great. My good daughter knows how to care for her father."

Chu Yuwei lowered her head, remained silent and did not look at her.

“Yes, yes!” Lu Mingfei said after recovering from his shock. “I saw Uncle Chu when I came here just now. He looked so tired. It’s time for him to have some nourishment. Aunt Yan worked so hard to make the soup. She wouldn’t want Uncle to not get to drink any of it, right?”

After praising Lu Mingfei for being sensible, Su Xiaoyan put away the thermos cup and left, saying that she was going to bring soup to Chu Tianjiao. Before leaving, she enthusiastically told Lu Mingfei that she would make him a full pot next time so that he could drink his fill.

Lu Mingfei shuddered all over when he heard this. When Su Xiaoyan left, he lay on Chu Yuwei's bed like a computer crashed, unable to get up.

At the same time, Chu Tianjiao, who was busy cleaning up the fire scene, sneezed.
