Then, she and Huo Beichen visited the pharmacy in the hospital to get her medicine before taking a taxi to Yuxiu Garden .

Arriving home, Ning Meng quickly changed into a new set of clothes . As she walked into the living room, Ning Meng noticed some steam fuming out from her kitchen .
Taking a peek from behind the kitchen door, Ning Meng saw Huo Beichen cooking a pot of Brown Sugar Ginger Soup for her . The smell of ginger was so strong that she could smell it all the way from the living room earlier .
Covering her nose, Ning Meng complained . “Big brother… no, no gingers . I hate eating those things . ”
Huo Beichen, wearing Ning Meng’s apron, held up the ladle and stared at her . The steam that was wafting around him somehow made him seem like a divine being that had descended to her kitchen .
‘Big brother . ’
She had called him “big brother” again .
A smile spread across Huo Beichen’s face as he ladled out a bowl of soup, carefully picking out the gingers for her .
Then, he went to gently bring Ning Meng to the sofa before grabbing a blanket from upstairs for her . After making sure that his dear wife was now warm and comfy, Huo Beichen went back into the kitchen to bring out the Brown Sugar Ginger Soup for her .
“Drink . ” Huo Beichen ordered .

A frown was stretched upon Ning Meng’s face as she shook her head weakly .
“No . I don’t wanna drink this . ”
“Call me ‘brother’ again . ”
Well, she had called him that several times already, she supposed calling him that again wouldn’t hurt .
“Brother~~”
Huo Beichen petted her head gently after hearing this . “Good girl . Call me that from now on, alright”
“… now that I’m calling you ‘brother’… can I not drink that soup?”

“No . You still need to drink it . ”
‘Then what did you ask me to call you ‘Brother’ again for?’
Before Ning Meng was able to lose her temper, Huo Beichen sat next to her and threatened her . “Are you going to drink this yourself? Or are you going to make me feed you the soup mouth to mouth?”
Geez, this was getting awkward . A blush of red crept up on Ning Meng’s face as she took the bowl and drank the soup in a few large gulps .
As she put the bowl down on the coffee table, Ning Meng could see some traces of disappointment on Huo Beichen’s face—he seemed to have expected her to pick the “mouth-to-mouth” option .
“So, you’re saying that… Mr . Huo has been taking care of you for 3 whole days?”

3 days later, Ning Meng was fully recovered and had finally been willingly released by Huo Beichen’s carebear paws . After seeing him off to work, Ning Meng made a call to Zhen Shanmei .
“Yeah, he did not even mention anything about the situation with my dad . Not only that, but he was also such a caring angel during these past few days~ The attention to detail he had when taking care of me… it was impeccable!”
“Stop! Stop right now! I am suspecting that you’re calling me right now just to brag about it . ”
“Oh, you don’t need to suspect anything . In fact, I’m hoping for you to scold me for a few things . ”
“Scold you? For what?”
“For being so in-shape~ and for being married to such a wonderful husband . Not only that, but you should also scold me for being so rich~”
“…you’re super shameless, you know that?”
“Thank you for the compliment~”
A few seconds of silence later, Zhen Shanmei continued with their chatter on the phone . “So, you’re going to Shanghai with Li Shiyao? I want to go too, but my dad hasn’t given me enough allowance for traveling lately . ”
As soon as she finished her words, Ning Meng could hear Zhen Shanmei’s father’s voice yelling in the background . “All you know is to spend, spend, and spend! Don’t you know how hard it is to earn money?!”
Zhen Shanmei pouted . “Oh, of course I know . Every time I want to ask for more allowance, I’d always have to get an earful from you . ”
Ning Meng’s mouth twitched as she heard this .
“Well, if you want… I could fund the trip for you, Shanmei . ”
Then, a few more seconds of silence passed on the phone before Zhen Shanmei opened her mouth once again . “It’s okay . I can’t go anyway because my dad arranged a blind date for me . ”
