Chapter 21

After taking a shower and washing off the mysterious black grime and sweat from her body, Lin Ruyu returned to the living room.

At this moment, she felt refreshed and seemed to have boundless energy. She looked as if she had just woken up from a lazy Sunday morning, not as if she had just finished a day of work.

"Mom, how do you feel?" Li Yi asked with a smile, sitting on the sofa.

"Very good, how did you do it?" Lin Ruyu sat next to her son, shook her wet hair, and asked curiously.

"It's the effect of the massage. If you let me massage you every day, I guarantee you'll stay young forever!"

"Alright, then you'll have to massage me every day!" Lin Ruyu said, placing her hand on her son's ear. Then, suddenly remembering that her son had done something good, she shouldn't have twisted his ear, and she couldn't help but laugh awkwardly.

"Mom, you're done with your bath? I've stewed a young hen for you to eat!" Li Ting walked in from the kitchen at this moment.

Looking at her children, Lin Ruyu couldn't help but feel a surge of pride. Yes, her daughter had always been sensible, and her son was starting to be sensible too. Although her husband had passed away, the family was still here and would continue to thrive.

After setting the table and serving the chicken soup, Li Yi also brought over his cat.

"Mom, let me introduce you to our new family member. Ting calls her Mimi!"

"Huh, you're really going to keep her?" Lin Ruyu was a bit surprised. Neither her son nor her daughter liked pets, and they had never kept any at home.

"I think we shouldn't keep her. It's better to stew her. Mimi is best for stewing," Li Ting said from the side.

"Meow!" Mimi protested softly, feeling very wronged. She was never suitable for stewing!

Although Li Ting opposed it, Lin Ruyu still agreed to Li Yi keeping the cat.

Then Li Ting served three bowls of chicken soup, one for each of them, while Mimi could only look on helplessly.

"Give her a bowl too!" Li Yi said.

"No way, cats can't eat chicken; they can only eat mice. If you want to keep her, you should catch mice for her to eat!" Li Ting said seriously.

"Meow meow meow!" Mimi quickly waved her paws.

I don't eat mice, I'd rather starve than eat mice!

"See, she gets excited when you mention mice? She loves eating mice the most!" Li Ting laughed.

"Meow..." Mimi instantly wilted.

Seeing Mimi's expression, Li Yi found it amusing and teased her, "Alright, since you love eating mice so much, I'll take you to catch some later. Our neighborhood has plenty of mice!"

"Meow meow meow!" Mimi was furious and, with a leap, slipped into Li Yi's shirt and started biting him.

"Eating people won't fill you up!" Li Yi couldn't help but pat Mimi's head through his shirt.

Mimi didn't care and just kept biting, cursing in her heart, "Bastard! Bastard! Bastard!"

Lin Ruyu felt her appetite was particularly good today, and she finished the chicken soup in no time, but her stomach still felt empty.

Seeing his mother's appearance, Li Yi smiled. Her cells had just been enhanced, and she needed a lot of energy, so it was natural for her to eat more.

Fortunately, the two women at home were food lovers and never dieted. Although Lin Ruyu didn't eat as much as her daughter, she was also carefree about it. Losing weight was irrelevant to her. In fact, she wasn't fat at all; both mother and daughter were the type who could eat a lot without gaining weight.

"Mom, I'll go downstairs to buy more food. Ting will be hungry after her massage."

"Massage, what massage?" Li Ting was a bit confused.

"Full-body massage. I'll give you one later," Li Yi said.

Li Ting immediately became wary, "You pervert, don't touch me randomly. You sprayed me with saliva in front of everyone at lunch, and I haven't settled the score with you yet!"

"Ha, you can struggle, but no one can save you!" Li Yi smiled at his sister and then turned to go downstairs.

At a barbecue shop, Li Yi treated Mimi to some meat skewers, and the little cat's face finally looked better. Then Li Yi brought a large amount of grilled meat back home.

"Maybe I should live on a cattle farm like Old Du, so it would be more convenient to grill meat for the family."

After a moment of reflection, Li Yi handed the grilled meat to his mother and then held down his sister...

"Beast!" Li Ting grumbled unwillingly after the massage and went into the bathroom.

Li Yi picked up a stack of printed materials and approached his mother, who had just finished eating, and said, "Mom, this is the formula for the cancer special drug, its pharmacological effects, and clinical research."

"What, you really did this?" Lin Ruyu's eyes widened. She didn't believe her son could solve this world-renowned problem.

"Don't doubt me yet, just take a look."

Lin Ruyu then lowered her head to read the materials. But after five minutes, she found it hard to understand.

Although Lin Ruyu was a doctoral student at the Capital Medical University, it had been a long time since she graduated, and she had been working in clinical practice. The pure theoretical knowledge had gradually faded from her memory. Not to mention, the paper started with an analysis of life chemistry, and the complex chemical formulas were overwhelming.

"Mom, don't worry, just follow my lead!" Li Yi leaned close to his mother, pressing his forehead against hers, and kept rubbing, "Relax, relax..."

"You little rascal!" Lin Ruyu took a deep breath, closed her eyes slightly, and then felt a lot of knowledge flooding into her mind.

"Um, that's about right." Li Yi gently touched his mother's face.

Li Yi used brainwave resonance to transmit knowledge. Lin Ruyu's body had just been enhanced and couldn't handle too much input, so he only transmitted the knowledge about the cancer special drug to her.

This method of transmission had a significant drawback: the knowledge transmitted to the brain would be quickly forgotten if not immediately reviewed, memorized, and reinforced. So even if a lot of knowledge could be transmitted at once, not much would be retained.

"The original carbon-based life structure is still too fragile. You'll get stronger day by day, Mom."

With the knowledge transmitted by Li Yi, Lin Ruyu read the paper smoothly and finished it in a few minutes.

"Wow, so this can cure cancer! In the future, cancer patients will be like those with a cold, able to be discharged in at most half a month?"

"Exactly, Mom. You won't have to worry about cancer anymore. I suggest you publish this article to benefit cancer patients, then quit your job and work with me. Solving cancer is just our first step. We will have more achievements in the future. I need a lot of help, and you, Mom, are the most important one!"

"Xiao Yi, what's going on? I've felt you were different today... This is too crazy... Oh my God, you're still in high school..." Lin Ruyu felt a bit confused.

"Mom, you've been asking me where I've been these three days. I'll tell you, I went to a very distant future."

"The future?"

"Yes, a future where science is very advanced, but unfortunately, that world was ultimately destroyed. I came back to recreate that future and ensure it won't be destroyed again."

"Xiao Yi, I don't quite understand..." Lin Ruyu frowned.

"You don't need to fully understand. I just want to ask you, do you love your son? Are you willing to do everything for your son? If you are, Mom, please hold my hand!"

Lin Ruyu looked at her son for a while, then smiled and held his hand, "Son, I love you, I will always love you."
