Refusing to marry a widower, I went on a crazy spree of sending my children to the army.

After feeling frustrated all day, Lu Yuan never expected that Qiao Manman had such a gentle side.

I never expected that all those messy complaints in my heart would disappear because of just one sentence.

He strode over and sat down next to Qiao Manman.

As soon as he opened the thermos, an enticing aroma wafted out, and Lu Yuan's stomach rumbled.

Qiao Manman paused for two seconds before asking, "You haven't eaten?"

"We arrived too late; the head chef had already gone home." Lu Yuan's ears turned slightly red as he calmly answered, then screwed the lid back on. "I'll take some to Dr. Li!"

Qiao Manman nodded, instructed the system to remove the packaging from the egg mooncakes, and said to Lu Yuan, "There's some chicken here too, take it with you. Oh, and a few pastries too!"

As she spoke, while Lu Yuan was tidying up his lunchbox, she blocked the drawer with her body and took out four pieces of egg mooncakes: "These are pastries I exchanged outside. Have some to eat on the way!"

Lu Yuan looked at Qiao Manman suspiciously: "What did you use to exchange it?"

"Golden and silver peanuts, haven't you seen them before!"

Lu Yuan's mind flashed back to the image of Qiao Manman fiercely catching a thief, and he nodded: "Be careful, the checks outside are strict lately. If you need money, you can borrow from me!"

Qiao Manman smiled, thinking that the original male lead still had some merits.

After seeing the person off, I took out a kiwi from my spatial storage. I slurped it down before I was completely satisfied.

Qiao Manman raised her hand to touch Qiao Runming and He Nian's foreheads to make sure they didn't have a fever before sitting down against the corner of the wall and closing her eyes to pretend to sleep.

Perhaps because she had been on edge all day, she fell asleep as soon as she relaxed. She didn't even know when Lu Yuan came back.

In the dim light, Qiao Manman slept peacefully. Although she was slender, it was easy to see how beautiful the young girl was from her delicate features.

No wonder Uncle Li said he didn't understand romance. He really does seem to lack it.

Upon checking on Qiao Runming, it was discovered that his forehead was somewhat hot.

They hurriedly called the on-duty doctor, who said that Qiao Runming's temperature was only slightly high and not high enough to warrant medication, and advised the family to wipe the patient's body to lower the temperature.

Despite their very quiet movements, they still managed to wake Qiao Manman, who was half-asleep.

After learning about Qiao Runming's condition, she didn't panic. She calmly borrowed a basin from the doctor and went to the water room to get warm water.

After searching for a long time without finding a towel, they simply put the bundle in it, wet it, and wiped Qiao Runming's forehead, neck, and armpits.

Lu Yuan also came over to help, and the two worked together seamlessly.

Ten minutes later, while Lu Yuan went to the water room to change the water, Qiao Manman took out a fever reducer and stuffed it into Qiao Runming's mouth.

The pills melted instantly in his mouth, and by the time Lu Yuan returned, they were nowhere to be seen.

They continued washing, and after about ten minutes, Qiao Runming's temperature dropped, so the two of them sat down by the window to rest.

"Thank you, Lu Zhiqing!"

Lu Yuan nodded wearily: "Mm!"

"Um, I didn't mean to ruin your reputation. I was afraid they wouldn't trust me, so I lied and said I was dating you..."

Qiao Manman felt somewhat embarrassed when she talked about her careless remarks.

However, he still intended to make things clear so that Lu Yuan wouldn't harbor any resentment.

"Don't worry, once we get back to the production team, I won't try to get close to you."

If anyone gossips about us, I'll firmly stand by your side and tell them this is the spirit of Lei Feng—helping others—and encourage them to learn from you!

Although this coincided with his own plans, hearing Qiao Manman say it so calmly made Lu Yuan feel a tightness in his chest.

It's as if they're a pile of stinking dog poop, and the other party avoids them like the plague.

Take a deep breath and close your eyes.

Qiao Manman waited for a long time but didn't get a reply, which made her a little confused.

She raised her hand and waved it in front of Lu Yuan's eyes, but when there was no response, she assumed he was asleep.

Qiao Manman stopped dwelling on it; she had already conveyed her meaning. As for what Lu Yuan thought, it wasn't her concern.

With eyes closed, I chatted with the system: "Everyone, sign in!"

"Yes, host! Congratulations on receiving one cubic meter of supplies and one fertility pill!"

"Another fertility pill? Tongtong, you're not being honest! You said your Tongtong realm doesn't have birth quotas, so what's the meaning of these fertility pills?"

"Are they planning to make me eat them all, so I'll have ninety-nine babies in one pregnancy?"

"Ha, host, don't get so excited. You can sell it at the same high price as yesterday. I believe many couples need this pill!"

That's true, but she can't just ask everyone she meets if they want to have twins!

I'm afraid people will think I'm crazy!

Qiao Manman rolled her eyes inwardly and carefully examined the supplies in her spatial storage.

Well, all of this is somewhat useful. This time, one cubic meter of daily necessities was delivered.

The items include storage boxes, insulated buckets, insulated lunch boxes, thermos flasks, enamel mugs, enamel basins, white towels, and men's and women's underwear.

And a quantity of rubber gloves, rain boots, toothpaste, toothbrush, shampoo, conditioner, skin care products, and cosmetics.

In addition, there are stationery items such as ballpoint pens, gel pens, fountain pens, ink, printing paper, notebooks, and calculators.

Qiao Manman was fairly satisfied, after all, she had nothing she wanted and couldn't buy what she wanted.

After organizing and tidying up the system items, I cleared my mind and went to sleep. Before long, I was snoring softly.

Lu Yuan opened his eyes at that moment.

He stared at Qiao Manman for several moments, making sure that the skin on her cheeks and wrists hadn't been tampered with, before resting again with a heavy heart and a sense of doubt.

The morning sunlight streamed through the window, and Qiao Manman rubbed her stiff neck as she woke up from her sleep.

Looking around, the seat was empty. Touching the chair, it was cold, indicating that Lu Yuan had been gone for a while.

While yawning, she checked on Qiao Runming and He Nian. Before her hand even touched Qiao Runming's forehead, he slowly opened his eyes and called out in a hoarse voice, "Manman!"

"Yes!" Qiao Manman responded, and seeing that he wanted to sit up, she quickly went over to help him.

Fearing he might be uncomfortable sitting, they placed a blanket and a pillow behind Qiao Runming.

"Dad, your bones have just been set, you can't move around too much."

Qiao Runming hummed in agreement, then carefully touched his injured leg: "Manman, where's Lu Zhiqing? I really have to thank him for saving my legs!"

Qiao Manman raised an eyebrow, not taking credit, and said with a smile, "He went out for a stroll, he'll be back in a bit."

As he spoke, he went out and called the doctor to change Qiao Runming's dressing.

Once everything was settled, Qiao Manman unscrewed the thermos: "Dad, have some. You haven't eaten for a day and a night, you must be starving!"

Qiao Runming nodded and turned to look at He Nian.

"Mother hasn't woken up yet. The doctor said it was caused by a sudden onset of anger and overwork, and she needs a good night's sleep to recover her energy."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Runming turned his attention to the thermos.

Looking at the white, sticky chicken porridge with oil floating on top, he suppressed the urge to swallow and asked Qiao Manman, "Girl, where did this come from?"
