My delicate husband

Lan An returned home a little late. Zhang Xiaomo and Guo Ge'er were waiting at the gate of the yard. When Lan An saw Zhang Xiaomo, he immediately jumped off the ox cart and threw himself into Zhang Xiaomo's arms.

"Brother Xiaomo, I'm back."

"An An, you came back a little late today."

"Don't be angry. I'll be at home with you for the next few days. Your hands are a little cold, I'll warm them up for you."

When Guo Ge'er saw Lan An coming back, he went into the room. His brother was really hard to mess with recently. He had received more cold stares today than in the previous month.

"Brother Xiaomo, I have a checkup tomorrow, so go to bed early tonight."

"An An, tell me a story."

"What do you want to hear? How about the story of Sun Wukong's invasion of the Kingdom of Daughters?"

"Okay, the picture books An An talked about are very interesting."

"I'm only telling you about my sketchbook. Be good and close your eyes. I'm going to tell you.

It is said that there was a magic stone at the beginning of the world. It absorbed the essence of the sun and the moon. After hundreds of years, the stone cracked and a monkey came out of it. The monkey was very smart and cute. A Taoist who was cultivating immortality met it and liked it very much. He took it as his apprentice and taught it skills.

The old Taoist priest was very patient and doted on the little monkey. He taught him skills, made delicious food for him, and taught him how to behave. However, he repeatedly warned the little monkey not to go down the mountain unless necessary, because there were women at the foot of the mountain who were more dangerous than tigers.

Zhang Xiaomo's breathing became steady, and Lan An felt a little sleepy from talking. She found a comfortable place in Zhang Xiaomo's arms and fell asleep.

Lan An woke up on time early in the morning. Zhang Xiaomo was still sleeping, but he was not sleeping very well. Lan An patted his back and comforted him patiently. Only when Zhang Xiaomo fell into a deep sleep did Lan An get up quietly.

After washing up, Lan An went to the kitchen to make breakfast. He stewed chicken soup. He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he felt that Zhang Xiaomo had lost some weight after not being with him for a day.

Lan Euan slowly tears off the chicken thigh meat, puts it into the cooked white porridge, and simmers it for a while, and the chicken porridge is ready.

"Ang'er, you didn't go to the village, so why is my brother so angry so early in the morning? It's weird."

"What happened to Brother Xiaomo?"

"I went into the room and saw him sitting on the bed, looking angry. I called him but he ignored me. His face looked so frosty that it could freeze two of me to death."

"Okay, stop being naughty. I'll go check it out. Help me serve the porridge. Be careful with the heat."

When Lan An walked into the room, he saw Zhang Xiaomo sitting on the bed with an unhappy look on his face.

"What's wrong, Brother Xiaomo, who are you angry with?"

"I woke up and didn't see you."

"I'll go to the kitchen and make you some chicken porridge. Get up and wash up now. It's just getting cold."

Zhang Xiaomo's mood improved visibly. He obediently let Lan'an help him put on his clothes. He also did not refuse when Lan'an offered to tie his hair.

"Brother Xiaomo, I still don't look good."

"An An, you can help me tie my hair from now on. I like it very much."

"Let's not do that. I made it a bit messy. Brother Xiaomo, how about you do it yourself?"

"It's okay, An An, I feel fine. I'm going to wash up now, wait for me to have porridge together."

"Go ahead, I'll wait for you here."

Lan An made the bed and, while he had some time, helped Zhang Xiaomo pack up his books.

Guo Ge'er complained to Lan An many times, saying that Zhang Xiaomo treasured his books too much, and he would lose his temper if his younger brother accidentally touched them.

But Lan An didn't think it was that exaggerated. He could fiddle with Zhang Xiaomo's books at will. Maybe this was the so-called double standard. Lan An was somewhat used to it. However, as the favored party, he had to say that Lan An liked Zhang Xiaomo's double standards very much and felt secretly happy. It turned out that those who were favored were fearless.

"Thank you for helping me clean up, An An, let's go eat."

"Hmm, are you hungry?"

"A little bit. I haven't had the chicken porridge cooked by An An for a long time."

"In the future, just tell me what you want to eat and I'll make it for you."

"But An An is very busy."

"Brother Xiaomo, you have to know that nothing is more important than you."

The two came to the hall and saw Guo Ge'er happily drinking porridge.

"Brother An, brother, come and have some porridge. I have to say that the porridge that Brother An makes is really amazing."

"If you like it, drink more."

"That's great, Angel, I like you so much."

"Zhang Xiaoguo, don't talk while eating and don't talk while sleeping."

"Oh. Brother, did you not put your hair up when you woke up today? Why is it so messy?"

"Hey, Brother Guo, I helped Xiaomo to style his hair."

"Oh, no wonder."

"I think it's great, Zhang Xiaoguo, do you have any objections?"

"No, no, brother, it looks very good. Please drink your porridge."

"Brother Xiaomo, go slowly. Be careful of the heat. Do you want me to feed you?"

"Okay, An An, feed me."

"Brother, I think..."

"Don't talk while eating and don't talk while sleeping."

Lan An felt that Zhang Xiaomo was becoming more and more like a child. He never quarreled with Guo Ge'er before, but that was also good.

Lan Ean quite likes the current Zhang Xiaomo. He is lively and full of vitality, not the dull, fragile and vulnerable one when they first met.

He finally got his cat back.

"Anger, will Doctor Zhu come back today?"

"After dinner, go to Chunqiu Hall with Bai Lu."

"Okay, I'll go if I want."

Guo Ge'er's sad eyes were full of accusations against An Ge'er, but he also received a cold stare from his brother.

Bai Lu took Guo Ge'er out and not long after they left, they ran into Doctor Zhu.

"Doctor Zhu, you need to go out for a consultation."

"I am about to go to the young master's house for a consultation."

"That's fate. I was just about to go to Chunqiu Hall to look for you."

The two of them went to the yard together and returned to the courtyard in less than half a minute.

"Brother Guo, why are you back so soon?"

"I just happened to meet Doctor Zhu on the way."

"My husband is in the inner room. Doctor Zhu, please come with me."

The three of them walked into the inner room. Zhang Xiaomo was sitting at the desk reading a book, and he looked in good spirits.

"It seems that the young master's spirit has recovered well."

"It's been pretty good lately. I don't feel sleepy as easily as before."

"Okay, let me help you feel your pulse."

Lan An and Guo Ge'er were both a little nervous. It was the first time they saw Doctor Zhu frowning.

"Sir, have you been worried lately? I see you're feeling a bit depressed."

"Just a little caution."

"Young Master, you must relax. This way, the medicinal bath will be more effective. Even if you have a poor appetite, you should eat more. You need to take good care of your body now, otherwise your body may not be able to withstand the acupuncture later.

I'll prescribe some new medicine for you. Remember not to worry too much in the future. Get enough rest and eat more, otherwise it will be difficult to carry out the treatment later."

"Okay, Doctor Zhu, please help me. I'll go get the medicine with you now."

"No need. I'll have the boy bring it over at the end of the day. Young Master, you still need to take more care of yourself. It's not good to worry too much."

"Okay, thank you, Doctor Zhu."

Lan An politely saw Doctor Zhu out and gave him two taels of silver as consultation fee. He would give the money for the prescription to the little medicine boy after the medicine was delivered in the afternoon.

Lan'an didn't go back to the room immediately, but called Guo Ge'er.

"Zhang Xiaoguo, when I'm not around Zhang Xiaomo, what does he do every day?"

"Brother, he just reads."

"Did you eat on time? Was the medicinal bath painful? Did you rest on time?"

"Anger, I... uh..."

"Don't hesitate. To be honest, I won't tell your brother, but you~well, you know the consequences."

"He didn't eat much when you were away, and he didn't want me to accompany him during his medicinal baths. The two nights you weren't home, the lights were on in his room until dawn. You know, I couldn't persuade him. He wouldn't listen to anyone except you."

"Okay, I get it. Our conversation today will be confidential."

Guo Ge'er was also scared by Lan An and broke out in a cold sweat. Lan An calmed himself down and went into the room. Zhang Xiaomo was still reading with a frown on his face, as if he was worried about something.

"Brother Xiaomo, what are you thinking about?"

"Don't be angry, An An, listen to my explanation."

"I'm not angry. I know you're not used to living here, and you don't like waiting. The cook's cooking isn't as delicious as mine. I'll accompany you from now on, okay? Don't be unhappy."

"An An, is it really okay to leave the house to Brother Xu alone?"

"It's okay. I'll go to the pawnshop these two days to buy a few people. After giving them some simple training, I'll have them go to Lotus Village to help Brother Xu.

Brother Xiaomo, you are the most important thing to me now. I will go back to the village once a week and take you with me, okay?"

"An An, you won't lie to me?"

"I'm not lying to you, but Zhang Xiaomo, you must get proper treatment. I beg you. This treatment is truly related to your life. Let's work together, okay? If you're unhappy, tell me. Don't hold it in. I'm so stupid, I won't know unless you tell me."

Lan An became more and more choked up as he spoke. He had worked so hard and put so much thought into Zhang Xiaomo's physical conditioning. When he thought of how much he was torturing his body where Lan An couldn't see him, Lan An felt like his heart was bleeding, and he felt more powerless and guilty.

It was also his fault. Guo Ge'er told him many times that Zhang Xiaomo was not in good condition, but he was too busy and didn't take it seriously. He thought Guo Ge'er was just joking.

Feeling guilty, really guilty, Lan An cried, from sobbing softly to wailing loudly.

"An An, don't cry, I feel bad."

"Zhang Xiaomo, if something happens to you, what should I do?"

"I won't think too much about it in the future. I will focus on my treatment. Don't cry, An An."

"I blame myself. I didn't take good care of you."

"No, An An took good care of me."

Zhang Xiaomo held Lan'an in his arms and coaxed her gently. Lan'an calmed down a little under his comfort.

"Zhang Xiaomo, are you tired of being with me? I always ask you to coax me, and my emotions are still so unstable."

"An An, no, you are a treasure given to me by God."

Zhang Xiaomo kissed Lan An's hair. He really felt Lan An's anger today, but he didn't expect that Lan An was really reluctant to blame him. His An An was still soft-hearted.
