During the few days of driving, Xie Yuhua asked him more than once if he wanted to take the things out, but he refused each time, so Xie Yuhua just went along with it.

On the way back, they didn't take the highway. Whenever they drove through the city or found a place to stay, Fatty would cook some rice porridge to take with him to keep Lingxiao nutritious. Lingxiao would also drink half a bottle of alcohol every day to disinfect.

When Lingxiao felt better, they would visit scenic spots along the way, and if they came across a river or lake, they would catch some fish to camp and cook.

Of course, Ling Xiao still couldn't eat these things. He would take Zhuang Zhuang to skip stones in the nearby water, while Cheng Yu would take out his phone to take pictures of them.

He took many photos, including a picture of himself and Ling Xiao making a peace sign, a picture of Ling Xiao and Zhuang Zhuang skipping stones, a picture of Ling Xiao leaning on Xie Yuhua in an uncomfortable position with a coquettish expression, and a picture of Ling Xiao wanting to try Fatty's grilled fish but resisting the urge to eat. He filmed almost every interaction between Ling Xiao and everyone else, as well as many pictures of Ling Xiao alone. Even Hei Xiazi sighed that he was obsessed.

Cheng Yu also took photos of other people, but most of them were funny and comical. He didn't dare show them to them. There were many such photos, like Zhuangzhuang putting flowers in Fatty's hair, Wuxie falling into the river while fishing and Xiao Ge lifting him up with a blank face, and Hei Xiazi breaking the popcorn machine while trying to pop it and being chased by the machine to pay compensation.

If such precious footage were discovered, his phone would be in danger.

Cheng Yu would show everyone the photos he took (except for the funny ones). Only Ling Xiao never looked at them. He thought the image quality of this era was too blurry, but everyone else seemed quite satisfied.

When he got home, Ling Xiao was much better and no longer needed to disinfect with alcohol every day, but he had lost a lot of weight.

"I'll ask the doctor to take a look at you. Maybe you'll be able to eat a little more in the next few days," Xie Yuhua said to Ling Xiao while packing his and Ling Xiao's things.

"I understand." Ling Xiao nodded obediently.

"Speaking of which, it's been several days since the fifteenth, and it seems that the pain in your blood vessels hasn't returned this month. Does that mean you're all better?" Xie Yuhua had wanted to ask for a long time, but she was afraid that he would react differently if she brought it up.

"Hmm, probably. It's probably fully activated. Isn't it a good thing that it doesn't hurt? Why does Brother Xiaohua look unhappy?" Ling Xiao leaned against the headboard, wrapped in a blanket, joking with Jieyuhua.

Jieyuhua was naturally happy, but at the same time she was thinking about what Hongyan had said. The child could only take the Corpse Beetle Pill when the bloodline was activated on the fifteenth of July. If the bloodline was successfully activated now and never appeared again, how could the child's lifespan be extended?

"Don't worry, I've got it all figured out." Ling Xiao knelt on the bed, slowly moved to Xie Yuhua's side, hugged his waist, and rested his head on Xie Yuhua's chest as he spoke.

“You know what you’re doing. You know you got yourself stomach cancer.” Xie Yuhua pressed her finger against Ling Xiao’s forehead, forcing him to look at her.

"Isn't everything alright now! Otherwise, if Brother Xiaohua kissed me, maybe my stomach wouldn't hurt anymore, and I could eat something delicious tonight. How about that?" Ling Xiao asked for a kiss. He found that this trick really worked and could prevent Xie Yuhua from lecturing him.

Seeing that Xie Yuhua ignored him, he said in a rather coquettish tone, "Isn't Brother Xiaohua the one who cares about Ling Xiao the most? Give me a kiss, just give me a kiss, Ling Xiao really needs to eat something flavorful."

"You make it sound like I'm some kind of miracle cure." Xie Yuhua was both angry and amused, and gave Ling Xiao a rather embarrassed kiss.

"You are my magic potion." Ling Xiao's eyes widened instantly. He stood up from the bed and happily circled around on it, the blankets all tangled up in his hands.

"Slow down, be careful not to fall!" Xie Yuhua saw that the blanket had wrapped up the child's feet, and without bothering to clean it up, she picked the child up and took him down.
