"This soup is so delicious!" Mu Xiaoxiao exclaimed as she took a sip.
Yin Shaojie couldn"t stop her. He didn"t want to drink it and was thinking how he should refuse it.
Just then, Papa Yin came back.
"You two are back? You"re only having dinner now?" Papa Yin smiled as he walked over.
Mu Xiaoxiao put down the bowl and walked over to hold his hand and said, "Papa Yin, come and have some soup. Mama Yin made the soup. It"s really good!"
Mama Yin"s expression showed some awkwardness as she said, "He doesn"t need to drink it. He always gets to drink the soup that I make. These bowls of soup are for you two. You two should drink more of it."
In a difficult spot, Yin Shaojie sighed and said, "Mom, I may not be able to drink it."
"Why?" Mama Yin asked.
"Because…" Yin Shaojie smiled bitterly, and he said, "Well, alright. I was actually not going to tell you this because I didn"t want you to worry. I had a little car accident last night and got a little concussion. I already went to the hospital and it"s all fine. The doctor said that I shouldn"t eat food that is too greasy, especially tonic soups."
With a stern countenance, Mama Yin said, "Seriously, a car accident is a big deal. Why didn"t you tell us about it? Are you hurt? Concussion is not a trivial matter. Have you gotten it properly checked out?"
"I"m alright. It"s because I"m alright that I dare to tell you about it now, right?" Yin Shaojie quickly calmed her down lest she continued to worry.
"That said, it was only a little car accident. I was. .h.i.t by a drink driver. It"s not that serious. If you don"t believe me, you can ask Xiaoxiao. Right, Xiaoxiao?" He directed her question to Xiaoxiao.
Mu Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and shot him a look. Was he getting her to lie for him?
How was it a little car accident!
She thought back to that night and remembered how she had gone down the ravine, desperately looking for Yin Shaojie while fearing the worst. She gave him another disapproving look.
But since they were talking to an elder, she still had no choice but to go along with him. She smiled at Mama Yin and said, "Yeah, he"s alright now. We wouldn"t have gone to Nanxiang Old Town if he wasn"t fine. Don"t you think so too, Mama Yin?"
Mama Yin was slightly relieved upon hearing that.
Yin Shaojie stood up and apologized, "Mom, unfortunately I can"t enjoy your soup today. Next time, alright? Next time when I"m back, make another one for me. We can let Pa enjoy the soup tonight."
With that said, he put the bowl of soup in front of Papa Yin.
Then he patted his father"s shoulder and said, "Ma spent a long time making this soup. You should have more helpings so as not to waste Mama"s good intentions."
"Then I gotta have more too!" Mu Xiaoxiao said.
Although she felt that Yin Shaojie was acting a little fishy, she also didn"t want to disappoint Mama Yin.
Besides, even if there was something fishy about the soup, Mama Yin would never harm her. She had no doubt about that.
Yin Shaojie furrowed his brows slightly as he stared at her bowl, thinking if this soup might have any effect on her.
Mama Yin was very happy to hear her say that. A smile spread across her face, and she said, "Xiaoxiao is still the best. After you"re done with this bowl, I will bring another helping for you. This soup is good for girls" health too."
Looking regretful, Mu Xiaoxiao said, "Yeah! If we haven"t already eaten, I would definitely have finished the whole pot of soup! Oh, no. I meant half of it. The other half is for Papa Yin."
Thus, she happily took Papa Yin to sit down and drink the soup together.
