CHAPTER 246: CHAPTER 246 THINKING OF YOU (2)

"Mmm... it’s really delicious, but it seems like it has no taste." Cancan said while eating contentedly, his words muffled.

"Forgot to put salt!"

Hearing Cancan mentioning it, Xuanxuan finally remembered!

"Cancan, stop eating for a moment. Add some soy sauce, it should taste better." Saying this, Xuanxuan reached out to take the porcelain bowl from Cancan’s hand, but Cancan held onto it tightly, unwilling to let go, picking up the remaining egg with his chopsticks and devouring it hurriedly.

"Very... very delicious." Cancan put down his chopsticks and immediately gave Xuanxuan a thumbs up. As he spoke, the egg in his mouth almost sprayed out, so Cancan quickly closed his mouth.

"Cough cough..."

He ate too quickly, the egg got stuck in his throat, and Cancan’s little face turned red from choking. Xuanxuan watched and became anxious, she immediately ran to the fridge, grabbed a bottle of milk without checking if it was cold, inserted a straw and handed it to Cancan. She then mimicked her mother’s action, lightly patting Cancan’s back.

"Feeling better?" After a while, the redness on Cancan’s face faded, but Xuanxuan was still worried and asked with concern.

"Mm-hmm." Cancan quickly nodded, pursing his lips. Once the milk went down his throat, a bright smile spread across his face, "Xuanxuan, the egg you made is really delicious, really good, you’re a genius!"

"Even without salt, it’s good?" Xuanxuan slowly tugged at the corner of her mouth, revealing a slightly awkward smile, as if thinking Cancan was mostly comforting her.

"Delicious, Cancan wants to eat two more!" After saying that, Cancan licked his lips, looking very reminiscent.

Seeing this, Xuanxuan felt extremely accomplished and her confidence increased greatly. She smiled and said, "Then go get more eggs, we’ll fry a few more, and let Aunt and Uncle have a taste too."

After that, the two little girls got busy again. While Cancan went to get the eggs, Xuanxuan put the chopped lean meat and mushrooms into the pot cooking congee, and then leisurely continued frying eggs.

Shen Lingxing has always been very disciplined, and staying in bed is something that rarely happens except occasionally after Mi Jing moved in. Lately, he usually wakes up around seven o’clock, but last night he took care of Mi Jing for half the night, probably too tired, and slept until 8:20 before waking up.

The first thing Shen Lingxing thought of when he opened his eyes was Mi Jing. He looked at her, watching her sleep peacefully with a sweet expression, he slowly raised his hand and gently placed it on her forehead.

Her temperature was normal, no more repeated fevers.

Gently retracting his hand, Shen Lingxing glanced at the alarm clock on the bedside table, realizing it was already late, he immediately remembered the two kids sleeping in the guest room downstairs.

Moving closer to Mi Jing, Shen Lingxing lightly kissed her cheek, then gently got out of bed, quickly freshened up, and hurried downstairs.

Outside, a light drizzle began to fall, making the sky somewhat dim, but the house with excellent lighting was still bright. Walking to the stairs, Shen Lingxing looked down and saw Cancan and Xuanxuan sitting side by side at the dining table.

"Fourth Uncle, Xuanxuan and Cancan made breakfast, come down and try!"

Hearing footsteps, Cancan quickly noticed Shen Lingxing coming downstairs, his innocent eyes meeting Shen Lingxing’s slightly complicated gaze, his little face full of excited joy.

Two five-year-old kids cooking breakfast?

Although children nowadays are indeed smart, after hearing Cancan’s words, Shen Lingxing was still surprised!

Xuanxuan just smiled at Shen Lingxing without speaking, got off the chair and quickly walked towards the kitchen. Before long, as Shen Lingxing walked to the dining table, Xuanxuan came out of the kitchen carrying a bowl of congee.

"Uncle, have some congee." Xuanxuan placed the porcelain bowl on the dining table, smiling at Shen Lingxing, her manner very sweet.

"...Okay." Calm as Shen Lingxing, he was stunned for a moment, thinking that usually he and Mi Jing took care of them, but now it’s reversed, these two little kids have become like little adults, not only knowing how to take care of themselves but also others.

The congee tasted a bit salty, but Shen Lingxing drank four bowls, including Mi Jing’s share. However, seeing his good appetite, Cancan and Xuanxuan were not entirely happy, their four eyes staring at him, both thinking about Mi Jing.

Uncle finished the congee, what about Aunt? Is she going to be hungry?

Gradually, Cancan and Xuanxuan’s eyes filled with some grievance. After watching for a while, when Shen Lingxing finished his fourth bowl of congee, Cancan finally couldn’t hold back and complained, "Fourth Uncle, why didn’t you save some congee for Aunt? She’s going to be hungry when she wakes up!"

Hearing this, Shen Lingxing smiled gently and explained, "Your Aunt is sick, she needs to drink some light vegetable congee."

Sick?

Instantly, Cancan and Xuanxuan showed worried expressions.

"Aunt..."

"Aunt..."

"It’s nothing, just a cold." As soon as the two kids opened their mouths to ask, Shen Lingxing immediately explained calmly.

In Cancan and Xuanxuan’s eyes, Shen Lingxing was not only an elder but they also knew very well that he was a doctor, so he said Mi Jing was fine, naturally it was really nothing to worry about, which reassured them.

After breakfast, Cancan and Xuanxuan sat quietly in the living room watching cartoons, while Shen Lingxing went into the kitchen to cook millet congee for Mi Jing and cleaned the messy countertop and stove.

"Xuanxuan, Cancan, can you play at home on your own?" After preparing everything, Mi Jing still hadn’t woken up. By this time, Shen Lingxing had already changed into his work clothes, ready to go to work.

"Yes!"

"We can take care of Aunt too, Fourth Uncle, don’t worry and go to work!"

Both were sensible children, naturally not wanting to trouble Shen Lingxing. More than that, they hoped they could help out, so when given the opportunity, they both wanted to perform well.

Hearing this, Shen Lingxing felt very relieved, gave them some instructions, and then went out.

Mi Jing slept for a long time, almost until noon. She still hadn’t woken up, making Xuanxuan and Cancan anxious, so they called Shen Lingxing, but were again told Mi Jing was fine, let her continue to sleep.

Mrs. Xu went back to her hometown for the New Year and hadn’t returned yet, so Shen Lingxing called a servant from the old house to come and make lunch for Xuanxuan and Cancan, but since Mi Jing hadn’t woken up, the two children insisted on waiting until Mi Jing woke up to eat. The servant tried to persuade them for a while, but it didn’t work.

"Xuanxuan, will Aunt be like Sleeping Beauty and never wake up?" Cancan and Xuanxuan stood at the staircase, looking upstairs with somewhat heavy expressions, lightly asking.
