Chapter 31

ps: Second update delivered!

By the time he got home, it was already 5 PM. Pikachu parked directly in front of the house and moved the things he bought in the morning to the kitchen. Qin Yi started cooking.

He had already planned out the meal on the way: a pot of pork rib soup and a few beef pancakes. The pork rib soup should be good for Susa's recovery, and the beef pancakes would be the main dish. However, to prevent Angel and Susa from not liking Chinese food, Qin Yi also made two steaks, so everyone could be full. As for the duck, it needed to be soaked in clear water, so it wouldn't be ready for today!

Qin Yi first started stewing the pork ribs and used this time to take a shower and change clothes.

In ten minutes, he was all set. He went downstairs to make the pancakes and stir-fry the beef. The deer meat was long gone, but beef was also good. In China, Qin Yi's favorite food was beef, but he rarely ate it, only once a year during the New Year!

Sigh, the life of a poor man, so many tears to shed! Fortunately, now he could eat his fill, and the hard days were finally over!

Putting aside these messy thoughts, he finished making the pancakes and beef. The pork ribs were also done, and the pressure cooker was indeed fast, making Qin Yi, who used to stew chicken in a flat pan for over an hour, marvel!

He put all the food in a thermal box and went back to the space to get some fruit, of course, including the Blood Spirit Fruit. He also took a glance at the small buds on the Blood Spirit Fruit tree. Yes, the Blood Spirit Fruit tree had grown buds, and the Spirit Yuan Grass and Snow Ginseng had also sprouted. When Qin Yi discovered this a few days ago, he was overjoyed, finally knowing how long it took for them to sprout. However, it would probably take a year to mature...

Leaving the space, he put the fruit and the thermal box in the truck and set off for the Great Waterfall City to deliver food to Angel. He couldn't let the little girl go hungry. On the way, Qin Yi drove fast, shortening the normal 1 hour and 50 minutes to about 1 hour and 20 minutes without violating traffic rules.

Parking the car, Qin Yi held the thermal box in his left hand and the fruit in his right, walking briskly. The people in the hospital were all impressed, praising this young man for his care and attentiveness. Look at his agile steps and eager eyes; he must be a filial son, a caring husband, and a responsible father, a model of modern men!

If Qin Yi knew what they were thinking, he would be speechless: I just don't want Angel to go hungry...

After a few minutes of rushing, he finally arrived at the ward.

Pushing the door open, only Susa and Angel were in the ward. Qin Yi sighed, no relatives or friends to take care of them! Angel was still telling a story, the same one Qin Yi had told her, but it seemed she had been telling it since 3 hours ago when Qin Yi left the ward to go home and cook!

Seeing Qin Yi come in with the food, Susa smiled brightly, her eyes filled with gratitude. Angel, seeing her mother's reaction, turned around and exclaimed, jumping off the bed and hugging him, "Uncle Yi, Angel missed you!"

Qin Yi's face lit up like a flower: "Really? Uncle Yi missed Angel too!" He placed the thermal box on the small table and asked, "Angel, why do you always tell the same story?"

"Angel only knows this one story!" The little girl lowered her head, fidgeting with her fingers.

Qin Yi was taken aback but then smiled, "In the future, Uncle Yi will tell you more stories, so you'll know more!"

"Uncle Yi is so nice!" The little girl nodded happily.

Susa, lying on the bed, watched the two talk, feeling happy that Qin Yi genuinely cared for Angel and that Angel was becoming more lively.

Letting go of Angel, Qin Yi opened the thermal box and took out the pork rib pancakes.

As soon as he took them out, a fragrant aroma filled the air, making Angel's big eyes widen and her nose twitch!

"Uncle Yi, did you make this? It smells so good!" Angel rubbed her tummy, she was hungry!

She had only eaten a big apple and a plum in the morning, how could she not be hungry? Qin Yi quickly prepared a pancake for Angel and handed it to her, "Try it, if you like it, I'll make it for you again tomorrow!"

Angel nodded and took a big bite, savoring the taste, "Delicious, delicious! Uncle Yi is so amazing!"

Seeing the unreserved admiration in her big blue eyes, Qin Yi felt light and laughed, then served two small bowls of pork rib soup, placing one in front of Angel and holding the other to feed Susa.

This was the first time he fed a woman, and a woman he had just met, which was a bit awkward. Susa was also a bit embarrassed, but with her spine fractured, she could only lie flat, and even with her hands, she couldn't drink the soup!

There was a nurse in the VIP ward, but she wasn't there when they entered, probably out. He couldn't go out to find her, and since the woman didn't mind, he shouldn't be too picky! Qin Yi pretended to be calm, sitting on a stool and smiling, "Susa, be careful, my hands are clumsy, don't let me feed it into your nose!"

Susa giggled, a not-so-successful joke, but it helped ease the awkwardness. Qin Yi fed her spoon by spoon, and Susa drank in small sips, occasionally glancing at Qin Yi.

Susa was quite beautiful, a feeling he had since the first time he saw her. She had golden hair and big blue eyes, just like Angel. Now, up close, he noticed some details, like her slightly tanned and not very smooth skin, and her rough hands. It seemed she had endured a lot, managing a 1000-acre farm alone and taking care of Angel. She was a hardworking woman, just like him! But if anyone else knew this, they would probably slap him, thinking he was complaining about his own hardships.

Angel, who was enjoying her meal, watched Uncle Yi feed her mother. She could only hold the big bowl and drink, wishing Uncle Yi would feed her too, but her mother was sick, so she decided to wait for next time!

"Uncle Yi's pancakes are so delicious, Angel finished one, and her tummy is full!" But she really wanted another one. Her mother always said that eating more would help her grow faster, and she wanted to grow fast!

So, she decided to have another one!

Angel imitated Qin Yi's actions, spreading the pancake, placing the beef, and rolling it up. "Done!" She took a bite, "Delicious!" Angel closed her eyes in satisfaction.

Angel was happily eating her pancake, and Susa, drinking the pork rib soup, felt reassured, "Is this a Chinese soup?" Susa was curious. She had been to Chinese restaurants in college and Los Angeles, but nothing tasted like this!

A delicious and comforting taste!

"Yes, authentic Chinese flavor!"

"China," Susa silently repeated, feeling curious about the country for the first time.

After drinking two bowls, Susa realized, "Yi, I'm done. Can you get me a pancake? I want to try it." She looked at Angel, who was enjoying her second pancake, and smiled.

Qin Yi smiled and made a pancake for Susa, handing it to her. This time, she could hold it herself, but the soup dripped everywhere! Susa didn't mind, and Qin Yi occasionally wiped it, then encouraged Angel to drink more soup, "Angel, drink more pork rib soup to grow faster!"

Hearing that, Angel picked up the bowl, which was already half empty, and tilted her head back, "Gulping, gulping," finishing it. She held the empty bowl and looked at Qin Yi with big, hopeful eyes, "Uncle Yi, can I have another bowl?" Growing fast was what Angel loved most!

"Angel can drink as much as she wants, as long as her tummy can hold it!" He laughed and served her another bowl!

Fortunately, it was a small bowl, or Angel, who had already eaten two pancakes, wouldn't have been able to drink it!

After the meal, everyone was full. The fruit on the table smelled good, but they couldn't eat any more. However, the Blood Spirit Fruit had to be eaten to heal the injuries! In the end, Qin Yi and Angel ate a plum, and Susa ate a Blood Spirit Fruit.

After Susa finished the Blood Spirit Fruit, Qin Yi immediately said he had added Chinese herbs to the soup. With the right Chinese massage technique, it would take effect quickly. Susa was puzzled, having never heard of such a thing, and asked how to massage, considering she wasn't familiar with a man massaging her.

Angel, on the side, loudly proclaimed that Uncle Yi was the best and could heal her mother. When Qin Yi said he was a doctor in the afternoon, Angel believed him immediately. Now, Uncle Yi was the most amazing person in her mind, and she trusted him completely when he said he could massage.

Qin Yi explained that he would just press a few points on her back through her clothes. Hearing this, Susa hesitated for a moment but finally agreed. Carefully turning Susa over to lie on her stomach, he poked her back with his fingers for a while, then turned her back over and pretended to be very tired, squatting on the ground and panting heavily! Qin Yi felt helpless, wanting to help but not wanting to expose himself, so he had to act this way. The more he exerted himself, the more others would believe!

Indeed, Susa felt this way. Despite only feeling pain from being turned over, Qin Yi's state of exhaustion made her even more impressed. Thinking about how Qin Yi had helped her take care of Angel, run around to cook and deliver food, and now was exhausted from helping her heal, the idea she had during the meal became even stronger.

Having such a friend who cared for Angel felt really good!

Qin Yi's act was convincing, and Angel was even scared, rushing over to hug her Uncle Yi, afraid he would run away, "Uncle Yi..." Her voice was choked with emotion. Qin Yi quickly comforted her, "Uncle Yi is fine, Angel, don't worry. Uncle Yi is just tired, and he'll be fine after resting."

Angel nodded but still held on, sitting with Qin Yi on the ground. After a few minutes, she finally smiled when she saw Qin Yi stand up. Patting Angel's head, he felt that this treatment should be effective by now, "How do you feel, Susa?"

"My back pain has lessened a lot, and the broken area feels numb and a bit warm!" Susa was shocked. Could the Chinese herbs and massage be so effective? But her feelings couldn't be wrong...

"Then it's working!" Qin Yi wasn't surprised. The Blood Spirit Fruit wouldn't be ineffective, that would be a joke! He felt he should warn her, just in case, and said seriously, "Susa, I need you to keep this a secret. You know, Chinese herbs aren't popular in America, and I don't have a medical license. Most importantly, this treatment is very draining for me!"

Qin Yi had helped her and Angel a lot, and Susa didn't want to cause him trouble. She wasn't a gossip, so she immediately promised, "Yi, I promise I won't tell anyone. I'll lie still for a while, so no one will suspect!"

Qin Yi smiled, "It's fine as long as you don't tell. If it's discovered in a few days, we can say the machine was wrong, and I was just slightly injured, not as bad as I thought." He casually made up an excuse, but it would be best if Susa lay still for ten to twenty days!

Seeing that Qin Yi was fine and her mother was there, Angel wasn't worried anymore. After a tiring day and a full meal, she was sleepy and soon fell asleep, hugging her teddy bear.

Qin Yi carried her to the bedroom, but she wouldn't let go, mumbling about stories with her eyes closed. Qin Yi, seeing the cute little sleepyhead, sat on the bed and told her a story about a monkey fighting a wild boar. After just two minutes, the little sleepyhead was already asleep!

Qin Yi smiled, took the teddy bear from her arms and placed it next to the pillow, then covered her with a thin blanket and left the room.
