Lin Xiao slowly opened his eyes, feeling the gentle touch between his hands. His gaze swept over the traces of last night on the two people beside him, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up. He sighed inwardly, "No wonder the king doesn't hold court in the morning."

He carefully got up and tiptoed off the bed, afraid of disturbing them who were still dreaming.

After gently tucking the two women in, he put on a coat himself and sighed softly, "I'll have to be more careful in the future. I really exhausted them last night."

Lin Xiao walked out of the room, gently closed the door, and walked lightly to the bathroom. After a quick wash, she went to the kitchen.

He turned on the tap, the water gushing out, and muttered to himself as he rinsed the rice, "It's been a long time since I've made breakfast myself."

After adjusting the water level to the appropriate amount, he put the iron pot into the rice cooker and started cooking the porridge.

Then, he stretched, pushed open the door, and decided to buy some breakfast for Lin Wan'er and Hong Ying, since they couldn't just eat porridge.

He slowly walked down the steps, this time choosing not to use the "shrinking the earth to an inch" technique, but instead opting for a leisurely stroll, enjoying the tranquility of the early morning.

He walked toward the breakfast shops in the old town, encountering many familiar neighbors along the way who greeted him warmly.

"Good morning, Aunt Zhao!"

"Lin Xiao, where have you been lately? I haven't seen you and Xiao Wan'er around for a long time."

Lin Xiao responded with a smile, after all, he had lived here for more than ten years and was quite familiar with the neighbors.

Arriving at a steamed bun shop, he saw an old man sitting on a recliner by the door, intently reading a newspaper.

He shouted loudly, "Uncle Ma, is Ma Dongmei home?"

The old man pushed up his glasses, put down his newspaper, and loudly retorted, "What plum?"

"Your daughter, Ma Dongmei!"

"Ma Dong what?"

"Ma Dongmei!!!"

Lin Xiao shook his head helplessly. The old man in front of him suffered from Alzheimer's disease and was also hard of hearing, making communication extremely difficult every time.

Just then, a middle-aged woman ran out of the steamed bun shop. When she saw Lin Xiao, she smiled warmly and said, "Xiao Xiao, it's been so long since I've seen you. I thought you and Xiao Wan'er didn't like my steamed buns anymore."

Lin Xiao looked at the woman who was rushing out and said with a smile, "No, not at all. Xiao Wan'er and I are no longer developing our careers in Cangnan. We only came back yesterday because of some business. That's why we came to Aunt Ma's to buy steamed buns as soon as we got back."

Upon hearing this, Aunt Ma immediately took out a large bag and quickly used tongs to pick up the steaming hot buns from the steamer.

Seeing this, Lin Xiao quickly dissuaded her, "Aunt Ma, there's no need for so much. There are only three of us; we can't finish it all."

Aunt Ma smiled and continued packing the buns: "Xiao Xiao, did you bring your girlfriend home?"

Since you're not developing your careers in Cangnan, you probably won't be coming to Aunt Ma's place much more often. So, today's steamed buns are on Aunt Ma's treat; it's free."

Lin Xiao smiled helplessly and said, "Then thank you, Aunt Ma."

He secretly put a bundle of cash into Aunt Ma's small box where she kept change. Over the years, Aunt Ma had often given him and Wan'er steamed buns, so he naturally couldn't accept them for free now.

Lin Xiao, carrying two large bags of steamed buns, smiled and said, "Aunt Ma, thank you so much. I'll be going now; Wan'er should be getting up soon."

Aunt Ma waved goodbye: "Xiao Xiao, take care of yourself, and bring Xiao Wan'er back more often when you have time."

Lin Xiao nodded in agreement, then activated the Tai Chi diagram. Two streaks of green light emanated from his body and merged into Aunt Ma and Grandpa Ma's bodies.

At this moment, Aunt Ma saw a bundle of cash in the small box, a look of shock flashed in her eyes, and she instantly realized that Lin Xiao had put it there.

Just as she was about to chase after Lin Xiao, she suddenly felt much lighter, and the fatigue vanished. She scratched her head in confusion, "What's wrong with me? My back feels better?"

Grandpa Ma also stood up from his recliner, tears streaming down his face as he looked at Aunt Ma who was selling steamed buns: "Daughter!"

Hearing the call, Aunt Ma dropped the iron basin in her hand, making a clattering sound. Her original thought of chasing after Lin Xiao vanished completely.

"Dad! You remembered me?"

Grandpa Ma hugged Aunt Ma with tears streaming down his face: "I remember now, I remember everything. I've been a burden to you all these years."

Aunt Ma burst into tears, her body trembling: "It's good that you remember now."

She suddenly realized what was happening, looked in the direction Lin Xiao had left, and immediately knelt down: "It was Xiao Xiao, it must be Xiao Xiao! At this time, only Xiao Xiao came by, and as soon as he left, our illnesses were all cured!"

At this moment, Lin Xiao had returned to the hut, put a large bag of steamed buns into his storage ring, and slowly opened the other bag, ladling out rice porridge and placing it on the table to let it cool slightly.

Lin Xiao walked into the room and saw Lin Wan'er, who had been fast asleep, smacking her lips.

He picked up a meat bun with a wicked grin, gently tore it in half, and held it above Lin Wan'er's nose, filling the air with the aroma of meat.

A glistening drop of saliva trickled from the corner of Lin Wan'er's mouth.

Lin Xiao brought the steamed bun closer, her little mouth naturally opened, her body arched slightly, and she took a bite of the meat bun.

"hiss!"

Lin Wan'er suddenly opened her eyes, her little face scrunched up, and while eating the meat bun in her mouth, she looked at Lin Xiao with teary eyes: "Bad Lin Xiao, it hurts so much, you don't know how to be gentle with a woman at all."

Lin Xiao gently kissed her cheek: "My bad, I got up early this morning to make breakfast for you."

Hongying groggily opened her eyes, smelled the delicious aroma, and her stomach rumbled. She said coquettishly, "Little brother, I'm hungry."

Lin Xiao gently helped Hongying sit up against the headboard, took out a meat bun from his storage ring, and gently placed it to her lips, smiling, "Sister Hongying, eat up. I also cooked some porridge for you. I'll go get it for you."

Lin Wan'er pouted and said, "You naughty Lin Xiao, you've really worn us out. We're in pain even if we move a little."

Hongying, who was holding a steamed bun, glared at Lin Xiao coquettishly and said, "Sister Wan'er is right, you naughty little brother, I want you to feed me too."

Lin Xiao gently stroked their heads, his eyes full of doting: "Alright, alright, you two eat your buns first, I'll feed you both."

This time, the two didn't utter a sound, but simply enjoyed Lin Xiao's care happily.

Lin Xiao went into the kitchen, filled two large bowls with white porridge, and carried them into the house, one in each hand.

He put down one of the bowls first, and seeing that Lin Wan'er was choking a little while eating the steamed bun, he scooped up a spoonful of porridge with a spoon, blew on it gently to cool it down, and then held it to her mouth.

"Come on, open your mouth."

"Ah~"

Lin Xiao carefully fed the warm rice porridge to Lin Wan'er, and then, subconsciously, he gently scraped her soft lower lip.

Lin Wan'er pouted slightly and said with a hint of resentment, "I'm not a child anymore, why would I let rice porridge spill from my mouth?"

Hongying couldn't help but chuckle, her laughter as clear as silver bells. She teased, "Little brat, I still think of you as a little kid."

A hint of embarrassment flashed across Lin Xiao's face, and he quickly explained, "Hehe, it was an accident. Sister Hongying, open your mouth."

As he spoke, he picked up another bowl, blew on it gently, and then brought a spoonful of smooth and soft rice porridge to Hongying's lips.

For the rest of the time, Lin Xiao took turns taking care of the two of them, feeding them rice porridge spoonful by spoonful.
