He had a weak heart and with every change of the season, if he did not take care, he would end up with heart palpitation. Hence, he had been drinking Chinese medicine for the past few days and had not missed a single dose.

  People who took Chinese medicine would more or less have the smell of Chinese medicine on their bodies. They might not be able to smell it normally because if they kept their distance, the smell of the medicine would be very faint. However, if they were to come closer, one would be able to catch a whiff of it for sure.

  Hence, Yueyao, who was in his arms, could smell it clearly, and that was why she resisted.

  The child was still young and could not speak. Hence, she could only express her dissatisfaction by crying.

  Auntie Yue only said that to comfort him so that he would not take this matter to heart. However, Youyou loved his sister dearly and kept this matter in mind.

  When they got home that night, Auntie Yue brewed his medicine and placed it on the table. She called out to him, “Youyou, time for your medicine.”


  After Yun Shishi had given birth, Mu Yazhe had arranged for the best confinement center in the capital for Yun Shishi to go through her confinement period. While she was away from home, he hired a nanny to take care of the two children’s daily lives.

  Youyou walked over and took a look at the medicine. Suddenly, he recalled his sister’s crying face and his heart ached again!

  It was all the fault of this Chinese medicine.

  He hated this medicine to the core.

  However, although he felt this way, he did not show it on his face. Instead, he said to the nanny, “Auntie, I’ll take it back to my room to drink.”


  “Okay, be careful, it’s hot. It’s fine to drink it after it cools!”


  “Alright.”


  Youyou picked up the bowl of medicine and walked towards his room. The nanny reminded him from behind, “Be careful, don’t spill it!”


  “Okay, got it!”


  Youyou carried the bowl of medicine back to his room and shut the door behind him. He lowered his head to take a sniff and frowned.

  Indeed, Chinese medicine smelled terrible.

  If not for the fact that he was used to the smell and drank it often since he was young, he probably would not have been able to stand the smell too.

  Thinking of Yueyao, he hesitated for a moment, then walked to the bed and opened the window next to it. He brought the bowl of medicine to the window and poured all the medicine into the flower bed.

  Being a rather street-smart child, he didn’t empty the bowl completely, because every time he drank it, there would be a bit of medicinal dregs left. If he were to empty it all at once, it would raise suspicions.

  After sitting in the room for half an hour, he walked out with the emptied bowl and placed it on the table. He said to the nanny, “I’m done!”


  The nanny walked over with the clean clothes. She nodded without a second thought and said, “Leave it there. I’ll wash up later!”


  “Okay! Thank you, Auntie.”


  “Don’t mention it!”


  Youyou’s thoughtfulness warmed her heart, so she did not realize the child had done something fishy behind her back!

  Little Yichen was reading in the study room. He remembered what his younger brother had said a few days ago, so he worked hard at night. He took out his math book and racked his brains to do the sums.

  Youyou entered the bathroom. During his shower, he used a lot more shower gel to wash himself, than he normally would. After he was done showering twice and dried his body, he took a sniff of himself. He was really worried, so he secretly applied some body lotion to ensure that he smelled nice. Only then did he change into his pajamas and enter the study room.

  Little Yichen was still working out the sums when he suddenly saw a shadow fall over his exercise book.

  He looked up blankly and saw Youyou, who had his hands on the table. The boy asked mysteriously, “Do I smell good?”
