Xue Yifu went to bring over a chilled watermelon and cut it open on the small table for the three children to eat.
“Uncle, you’re the best to us.” Xue Shi said sweetly as he ate a popsicle to relieve the heat.
Xue Yifu was naturally happy to be praised.
Prince Shou was also feeling hot. He leaned over in front of the small table and heard Xue Shi’s words. He lazily glanced at Xue Shi and then, after eating half of the popsicle, he reached out to grab a piece of iced watermelon to eat. The cold feeling made him even more reluctant to leave.
“Why do you bring me along when you have something to do?” Prince Shou was extremely helpless, and his entire body lay there limply.
“Stop complaining,” Xue Shi immediately said. “If I bring more people, I can share the burden, so the punishment will be lighter. Besides, this isn’t my problem alone. It concerns everyone. How can I bear it alone? At most, I’m just a leader. Isn’t that right, Xue Bai?”
“Mm.” Xue Bai nodded his head twice as he munched on the watermelon.
Xue Yifu was not good with words. He could not interrupt the children’s conversation. He just sat there and smiled as he watched the three children eat popsicles and watermelon.
Seeing that the three children were in high spirits and eating happily, his mood improved.
“Ah, it’s so cool.” After eating a popsicle and two pieces of watermelon, Xue Shi finally felt that the heat was gone. “Are you guys cool? Since you’re done, I’m going to head back to work.”
“It’s cool now.” Xue Bai laughed foolishly.
Prince Shou lay there lazily. He did not answer at all.
Xue Shi was used to it. Then, together with Xue Bai, each of them grabbed one of Prince Shou’s arms and pulled him up.
“Let’s go find Uncle Shen.” After Xue Shi finished speaking, he started running.
Xue Bai also ran.
Prince Shou had no choice but to follow.
The Shen family’s clinic was not far from the carpenter shop, but because of the hot weather and the fact that they had to run, when the three children reached the Shen family’s clinic, they were sweating profusely.
Just then, Shen Yuxuan had just finished examining someone and stood up. When he saw Xue Shi and the others running in, he quickly smiled and asked someone to bring three bowls of herbal tea for Xue Shi and the others.
The three children immediately put on bitter expressions.
Xue Shi said, “Uncle Shen, do you know why we don’t come to you often when the weather is hot? It’s because you make us drink this kind of herbal tea. It’s like drinking medicine. We don’t like it.”
“You’re always the one who shows up the most.” Shen Yuxuan smiled and patted his head. “Although this herbal tea is different from other herbal teas, it’s better for relieving summer heat and is also good for the body,” he explained.
The three children could only pinch their noses and drink the herbal tea.
Shen Yuxuan then invited them to sit down.
Prince Shou slumped on the table as if he had no bones. He even closed his eyes and started snoring, as if he didn’t want to answer anything.
Shen Yuxuan found it funny. Then, he stopped looking at Prince Shou. Instead, he looked at Xue Shi and Xue Bai with a smile, “Why are you guys here on such a hot day? Just now, Xue Yan and Jiang Yue brought Pei Fufu and Xue Tiancheng over. Did you know that?”
“We know.” Xue Shi answered quickly. “We came with them.”
Xue Bai only smiled foolishly.
“If you came together. Why are you only here now?” Shen Yuxuan asked with a smile.
Xue Shi immediately leaned forward with a fawning expression. “Hehe, Uncle Shen, we’re here to ask you for a favor. But please don’t let Xue Yan and Jiang Yue know. Please, please.”
