Chapter 34: If you disagree, I'll keep feeding you
It was impossible for Cheng Yang not to feel his wife's alienation from him before, but he thought it was normal. After all, it was inevitable that she would feel aggrieved after not seeing her husband for so many years.
He will have to spend a long time warming his wife's heart and making amends simultaneously.
But he didn't expect that his wife suddenly changed her attitude when she returned after being out for a while. This enthusiasm made him a little confused.
But no matter what Cheng Yang thought, Shi Xiaoai didn't care at all at this time; her mind was focused on her children.
The doctor said today would be when Xiaoxi's back hurts the most. To prevent the child from being too uncomfortable, the doctor added a sleeping ingredient to the liquid given to her and specifically told her that there was no need to wake her up.
So Shi Xiaoai just asked Mingrui to get up and eat custard.
But obviously, Mingrui has little appetite.
After he woke up, he just leaned in Shi Xiaoai's arms and complained that he was dizzy and sobbed irritably. He didn't even want to open his eyes, let alone eat.
Seeing him like this, Shi Xiaoai felt heartbroken.
She sat cross-legged on the bed, picked up Mingrui, and placed him on her lap, comfortably patting her son's back and coaxing him softly.
Cheng Yang also sat over at some point.
He sat sideways next to Shi Xiaoai, holding a small bowl in one hand, half filled with rice mixed with egg custard, and a small spoon in the other hand.
He scooped half a spoonful of rice with a spoon and motioned to Shi Xiaoai to continue coaxing her.
Then, while Mingrui was confused, he quietly put the rice into the child's mouth.
Mingrui's humming stopped noticeably.
He chewed it a few times and seemed to think it tasted good. He chewed it a few more times and swallowed it.
Before his crying started again, Cheng Yang put another spoon into his mouth...
Like that, the couple coaxed, fed the other, and finally fed half the rice bowl while the child was confused.
Mingrui stopped eating after being fed again. He buried his head in his mother's arms, closed his mouth tightly, and never opened his mouth again.
Seeing the child like this, they didn't force it anymore.
"I'll hold him; you eat first." Cheng Yang said and stretched out his hand.
Mingrui seemed to have heard it and showed unabashed resistance to this father, who was still a stranger.
He hugged Shi Xiaoai hard and cried louder as if he was determined not to let go.
Shi Xiaoai continued to coax the child, shaking her head at Cheng Yang: "You can eat, I will eat later."
Cheng Yang was also helpless about this situation. He had no choice but to sit back on the bench and open the lunch box again.
Shi Xiaoai continued to sit on the bed and coax the child to sleep.
Mingrui is actually not a clingy child on other days. On the contrary, he is very independent. It turned out like this at this time, proving that he was very uncomfortable.
Xiao Ai felt highly distressed when she saw him like this. Not to mention just holding the baby, she would be happy to.
She hugged Mingrui and continued to coax him, not wanting to move even when her legs were numb.
But at this moment, a spoon with the aroma of meat was suddenly handed to her mouth.
Ever since she could remember, she had never been chased and fed like this. Faced with someone's threat, she was so embarrassed that she could only choose to compromise as she was still held tightly by her son and couldn't move.
She nodded.
A smile instantly appeared on Cheng Yang's lips.
He moved the chair over, opened both lunch boxes, and placed them on them. Then, he took a bowl from the basket and served himself a rice bowl.
After doing this, Cheng Yang naturally sat beside Shi Xiaoai and raised half a bowl of rice to her hand.
In this posture, Shi Xiaoai had to free one hand and scoop the rice into her mouth.
The weather was indeed too cold. Even though the ward was well sealed, the food still got out very quickly. It didn't take long for the uneaten braised pork in the lunch box to condense into a layer of white oil.
Although it was said that two people were eating together, Cheng Yang's attention was obviously on Shi Xiaoai, and he kept adding food and vegetables to her without using his chopsticks.
It wasn't until Shi Xiaoai finished the last bite of rice in the bowl and pushed the bowl to indicate that she couldn't eat anymore that Cheng Yang withdrew his hand.
He did not throw the bowl aside but stood up, poured half a bowl of boiling water from the kettle, and handed it over again.
After drinking a bowl of hot water, Shi Xiaoai finally felt much better.
She was finished and full, so Cheng Yang picked up his rice bowl and started eating.
Shi Xiaoai never knew that eating alone could be so fast!
She didn't even see Cheng Yang wolfing down the food, and the rest was wiped out instantly! Including the cold meat and the vegetable soup remaining at the bottom of the box, he mixed it with rice and ate it all.
Only then did she realize a problem and couldn't help but ask: "How many meals have you not eaten?"
Cheng Yang put away the dishes and chopsticks, raised his head a little embarrassed, and explained: "I didn't bring enough dry food when I came back in a hurry. I finished it at noon yesterday."
It's already afternoon! pm!
That meant that Cheng Yang only ate a grain of rice for part of the day and night.
But this person had just been urging him to eat first.
Looking at him, Shi Xiaoai's expression was a bit complicated, and for a moment, she couldn't figure out what she was thinking.
Cheng Yang's movements were very agile. He quickly put away the dishes and chopsticks, washed them, and took them back again.
After entering the door, he stretched his hand to Shi Xiaoai: "I'll return the dishes and chopsticks. By the way, could you give me the key to your house? I'll go back and see if there's anything else missing?"
Shi Xiaoai didn't say a word, as if she hadn't heard anything, but her hands subconsciously grasped the pockets of her pants, with rejection written all over her face.
Seeing her action, the expression on Cheng Yang's face froze.
He stared at Shi Xiaoai for a long time, then sat on the chair opposite her and said calmly: "Xiao Ai, I think we two need to talk."
Xiao Ai did not refuse when he heard what he said. She was initially planning to find a time to chat with him.
After all, the relationship between two people must be resolved in a way, and being so unclear only adds to the embarrassment.
At this moment, hearing Cheng Yang's initiative, Shi Xiaoai put the already asleep Mingrui gently back on the bed, then turned around and sat down, facing him calmly.
