"I'm not eating anymore, I'm going to take a shower." After eating a few bites under Xie Yuhua's watchful eye, Ling Xiao put down his chopsticks.

Jieyuhua looked at the dish that had barely been touched even after being reheated, pursed his lips, and thought that the heat was too high this time. Next time he would use a slow heat and it would definitely not burn.

Ling Xiao was taking a shower when Wu Xie climbed to their bedroom door. That night, Wu Xie ended up in the hospital...

Ling Xiao stared into deep thought as he looked at the food poisoning report from the hospital in Xie Yuhua's hand...

"Eggs, wood ear mushrooms, and cucumber—how did these three things release toxins when cooked together?" Ling Xiao seemed to have discovered a new problem. At this moment, Xie Yuhua seemed like a cooking genius to him. These three things, which could be eaten even when half-cooked, had somehow produced toxins when Xiaohua cooked them. Well, he would try to improve...

"No...it's not the vegetables...we all ate the vegetables...it must be that the rice wasn't cooked properly..." Xie Yuhua was unusually a little guilty.

Ling Xiao remembered that Jie Yuhua said Wu Xie ate a big bowl of rice... Could it be that he thought the dishes Xiao Hua made were poisonous and didn't eat much of them, but instead ate rice like crazy?

Jieyuhua held a towel and dried Lingxiao's head. They had left in a hurry. Lingxiao quickly rinsed off the soap, dried himself a few times with a towel, put on his clothes, grabbed a towel, and left. His hair was still dripping wet, and his clothes were soaked.

"Take off your clothes," Xie Yuhua suggested, genuinely worried that Ling Xiao might be uncomfortable.

"Going shirtless in public..."

"What are you thinking about? You're worried about others seeing you thinking about me! I'll go buy you a hospital gown to wear for now." Xie Yuhua playfully pinched Ling Xiao's nose and went to talk to the medical staff.

Ling Xiao watched his retreating figure and muttered, "Liar." Before, when he had tested him so thoroughly, Xie Yuhua hadn't shown any sign of not wanting others to see him naked, and it seemed he wasn't completely... He would block other people's view of him, or even cover him with clothes, as if... he did care somewhat...

"Why don't you say it?" This made him always think that Jieyuhua didn't care at all and wouldn't be jealous.

As soon as Jieyuhua brought back the clothes, he helped Lingxiao change into them. The germaphobe was holding the clothes and towel he had taken off, not knowing where to put them. He looked busy and flustered, which made Lingxiao laugh out loud. He hugged Jieyuhua tightly, feeling sweet inside.

He said, "I started to get greedy."

The two outside were being affectionate, but Wu Xie inside had been through a lot that night. He felt like he almost saw his great-grandmother, but thankfully the doctor said there wasn't anything seriously wrong, he just needed to drink rice porridge for two days.

When Wu Xie saw Ling Xiao, he immediately grabbed his hand tightly. He was still in a daze and couldn't speak because he was wearing an oxygen mask. He just held on to Ling Xiao tightly, as if he had something very important to tell him. No matter what Xie Yuhua said to him, he wouldn't let go.

After a long while, Wu Xie finally managed to stammer, "Please...please...please...don't...don't let...Xiao...Xiao Hua...cook anymore."

Jieyuhua's face turned black with anger! Is it really necessary? You held my wife's hand for ages just to tell her I'm not allowed to cook anymore? Is that polite of you?

Without saying a word, Xie Yuhua separated Wu Xie and Ling Xiao and solemnly informed Wu Xie that Xie Yuhua would still make his porridge tomorrow morning!

Wu Xie felt utterly hopeless upon hearing Xie Yuhua's words. What could possibly make those 37°C mouths utter such heartless words?

He's been poisoned by all this food, can't you just let him off the hook? Please, have mercy!
