My Fantastic Chef Wife Chapter 269 - Little Ye Took Care of Him

269. Little Ye Took Care of Him

When Little Ye thought about what w.a.n.g Wen had said that he was fighting against 30 people alone, she was a little attracted by such a brave man.

She hoped that he would get better sooner.

“Are you finished?” Dr. Xiao asked.

Dr. Xiao was just burning his needle to disinfect, preparing to give a needle therapy for Xiao Baoshan.

“Yes!” Ye Xiaoxian replied.

Dr. Xiao took a look and confirmed that Ye Xiaoxian was indeed wiping Xiao Baoshan carefully, so he was sure that the couple should have been in deep love with each other, at least, Little Ye was.

After all, there couldn’t be another handsome and charming man like Xiao Baoshan.

Dr. Xiao was giving Xiao Baoshan a needle therapy while Ye Xiaoxian was just watching aside.

The silver needles were cautiously inserted into the body of Xiao Baoshan one by one, who also got slowly sweating.

Dr. Xiao asked Ye Xiaoxian to prepare some dry towels to wipe his sweat and Ye Xiaoxian just listened to him and went out again.

Most people who were curiously gossiping outside had left, except for Li Hongmei and Xiao Baozhu.

“Little Ye, how’s Baoshan doing?”

Ye Xiaoxian shook her head. “He still haven’t woken up yet, but, anyway, let’s have some faith in Dr. Xiao. He’s a good doctor. I’ll go get a towel to wipe sweat for him.”

Feeling sorry, Li Hongmei grabbed Ye Xiaoxian and sobbed, “Little Ye, then please take good care of Baoshan.”

Ye Xiaoxian was quite speechless. She thought to herself, ‘If you are really so nervous and care about Xiao Baoshan, then why you push me out just now?’. And then she replied out of politeness, “I’ll.”

……

After Dr. Xiao finished the treatment, he didn’t wait long to withdraw them.

Then he went to grind the medicine and asked Ye Xiaoxian to stay to help wipe out the sweat for Xiao Baoshan.

She didn’t know whether the purpose of needle therapy was to cool Xiao Baoshan down, anyway, he had been sweating after withdrawing needles, which made Ye Xiaoxian have no choice but to keep wiping for him.

Thereafter, Dr. Xiao asked Ye Xiaoxian to prepare some porridge and water, saying that Xiao Baoshan would have porridge when he woke up.

Ye Xiaoxian did everything in Dr. Xiao’s instructions. In the end, she was almost paralyzed because of exhaustion. Before she fed the porridge, she fell asleep leaning against a pillar in the yurt.

She didn’t know when, but she felt a hand holding her hand and caressing it in palms, through which she could feel the deep affections.

At first, she thought it was a dream, but then she opened her eyes to find that it was Xiao Baoshan.

He was staring at her with a burning gaze although she didn’t know when he woke up.

She immediately pulled her hand back and asked, “Are you fine? When did you wake up?”

“Just now,” his voice was still weak.

As Ye Xiaoxian realized that he hadn’t eaten anything, she immediately asked, “Are you hungry? Dr. Xiao had asked me to prepare some porridge for you, so if you are hungry, have some first.”

She went to touch the porridge on the table, which was still warm and it was best for patient.

“I haven’t eaten anything for a long time, so I’m quite hungry.” Xiao Baoshan replied honestly.

“Can you get up and eat yourself?”

“No.”

Ye Xiaoxian, “…”

There was an extra quilt in his room. Ye Xiaoxian took the quilt over and helped him sit up a little higher, and then she took the bowl of porridge and fed him.

This was too intimate, so she wasn’t used to it and felt very awkward.

If he hadn’t been injured, she wouldn’t have had such close contact with him.

Xiao Baoshan had been cooperative and did everything as Ye Xiaoxian said. He took one mouthful of porridge after another while kept gazing at Ye Xiaoxian, which made Ye Xiaoxian quite embarra.s.sed and awkward.

“Why do you keep looking at me, huh?” she asked speechlessly.

“I didn’t expect to see you after I woke up. Before I fainted, I was still in the desert,” Xiao Baoshan said.

“So what’s the point of seeing me?” she still felt somewhat speechless.

“I remembered something,” Xiao Baoshan said.

Ye Xiaoxian paused. “What?”

When he realized that his clothes had changed as he groped them, he asked, “Who changed my clothes?”

“Me,” Ye Xiaoxian said.

“I‘ve put something in pocket. Have you noticed it?”

“Really?” Ye Xiaoxian put down the bowl and flipped through the pile of previous clothes. Then she found a piece of hard thing. She took it out and saw that it was a verdant hairpin.

She remembered that he had also given her a hairpin before, but she didn’t take it away with her hasty fleeing and left it in their previous house.

Back then, she was angry at him like she was now.

“Give it to me?” She asked him.

He nodded. “When I saw this hairpin, I just thought of you. I should’ve bought such a hairpin for you before.”

“So what?” Ye Xiaoxian asked.

Xiao Baoshan didn’t say anything this time.

“How much do you remember?” She asked again.

“Only this, and…” He said, “also the feelings back then.”

“So, how do you feel…?” Ye Xiaoxian asked.

“Kind of restless and worried. I’m afraid you don’t like it,” he said honestly.

Ye Xiaoxian’s voice softened a little, “Really? I remember that when you gave it to me, you seemed very calm. By the way, not only me, mom and Baozhu also got hairpins from you, did you still feel restless?”

“It shouldn’t be, it’s just for you,” he said.

“You don’t remember anything else except this. So don’t you think it is kind of early to talk about this?” Ye Xiaoxian asked.

Xiao Baoshan was silent again.

What happened to Jin Xiaoyu was a hurdle, and it was difficult for everyone to pa.s.s this hurdle, and they didn’t know if they could pa.s.s it eventually.

Ye Xiaoxian asked again, “Are you full? If you’re full, then rest first. I’ll go out and ask Dr. Xiao to have a check and wash your dirty clothes by the way.”

……

In the evening, Dr. Xiao had to arrange for people to come over to keep watch at night, but it might not be Little Ye anymore. It could be someone else who would be in turns.

The main purpose was to wipe sweat for Xiao Baoshan and help him to relieve himself. Also, if his clothes were wet, they would have to change his clothes and feed him some porridge if he was hungry.

When Ye Xiaoxian heard that others could do this job, she immediately wanted to take a rest, unwilling to take care of him anymore.

Everyone knew that she was rather tired for taking care of Xiao Baoshan for a long time, so they quite understood and let her take a rest early.

Ye Xiaoxian was still in the same room with Li Hongmei and Xiao Baozhu, who went to stay on watch. The two of them were responsible for the first half of the night and later would be replaced by Xiao Tongshu, w.a.n.g Wen and w.a.n.g Wu.

The yurt was very quiet, but Ye Xiaoxian couldn’t sleep, tossing and turning.

She pinched the hairpin in her hand and thought of the time they spent together.

They used to be in love with each other. The few months before they parted, they were indeed loving each other dearly. It was impossible to say that she didn’t love him.

After he gave her a divorce paper, she was angry, but after she found out about his past, her anger faded. Even though she always said she didn’t care, she knew that she had been looking forward to meeting him again.

When he was having porridge earlier, according to his words, he remembered her and confirmed that she was his wife.

Then, should she forgive him now?

Was his relations.h.i.+p with Jin Xiaoyu a misunderstanding?

At this moment, she felt extremely conflicted.

‘Well, forget it. Let it be.’ She finally decided.

……

Ye Xiaoxian didn’t fall asleep in the first half of the night while Li Hongmei and Xiao Baozhu had returned. Although they were cautious enough to not make any noise and tried not to disturb Ye Xiaoxian’s rest, Ye Xiaoxian still pretended that she was awakened.

She pretended to have just woken up. “Mom, how’s it over there?”

“It’s getting better. Now Third Uncle and w.a.n.g Wen are going to s.h.i.+ft guard. You should also go to sleep early. Go and see him tomorrow morning,” Li Hongmei understood Little Ye’s hard work and wanted her to rest well, so she said so.

Xiao Baozhu also said, “Don’t worry, my brother just had a bowl of porridge. It seems that he got better. Dr. Xiao had said that as long as his appet.i.te is better, everything will be easy.”

While Ye Xiaoxian was worried about what if he wanted to go to the toilet as now it was deep in the night.

Sure enough, she had just laid down for a while when she heard the loud voice of the Xiao Tongshu from the nearby manor, “Be careful, go here.”

They were probably helping Xiao Baoshan to go to the bathroom.

As soon as Li Hongmei and Xiao Baozhu lay down, they fell asleep. However, Ye Xiaoxian tossed and turned on the bed for a while before falling asleep.

……

It was early in the morning and Ye Xiaoxian woke up. For some reason, the moment she opened her eyes, she thought of Xiao Baoshan again.

‘Well, just go and see him.’

Frankly speaking, men were not as careful as women in serving people. When Ye Xiaoxian entered, she saw that Xiao Tongshu and w.a.n.g Wen slept in different sides while Xiao Baoshan had waken up.

When he saw her, a hint of joy immediately appeared in his eyes, as if he was looking forward to her for a long time.

Ye Xiaoxian ignored him and went to wake up Xiao Tongshu and w.a.n.g Wen. She asked them to go back to their own room to have a rest, saying that she would be here to take care of Xiao Baoshan.

The two men felt exhausted and walked out lazily.

Ye Xiaoxian then walked up to Xiao Baoshan and asked him, “How do you feel now?”

“Much much better,” he smiled.

“I’ll get you a basin of water. You should rinse yourself,” she said.

“Thank you,” he suddenly became distanced and polite.

Ye Xiaoxian felt somewhat funny, then went to carry a basin of water, handed him a hot towel, and then asked him, “Are you hungry? What do you want to eat?”

“Noodles, is that okay?” Xiao Baoshan asked.

The porridge was indeed not filling enough and now he did have some appet.i.te.

“Yes, then wait a moment.”

Ye Xiaoxian went to prepare the noodles again.

……

She thought that he had just woken up, which shouldn’t eat greasy things, so she made vegetarian noodles, but there was also some beef mince and green onion sprinkled on the soup. Then she also put an egg.

The eggs were given by one of the refugees.

Ever since they were free, they had been very enthusiastic about raising chickens and ducks. They had been raising them for a few months, and some had been raised for a longer time for eggs. So they sometimes would give some eggs to Ye Xiaoxian.

Ye Xiaoxian didn’t have a chance to eat. Now that she remembered, she cooked it for Xiao Baoshan.

When he saw this bowl of noodles, which was sprinkled with crumbled meat, he seemed to be full of appet.i.te. Now, he didn’t have to feed him anymore. He grabbed the noodles and quickly gulped them down.

The food of the Longmen Inn was not good, and these days he had eaten meals cooked in big pots, which also couldn’t be delicate. He felt that this was the best noodles he had ever eaten since he remembered it.

However, as he ate noodles, memories flashed in his mind. Ye Xiaoxian was busy in the kitchen, making food for him, and he praised her for making delicious food.

“Be slow, don’t choke,” Ye Xiaoxian reminded him.

He smiled but didn’t slow down.

At this moment, the curtain of the manor opened with a person walked in who was suddenly stunned by what he saw.
