Border Cook

Chapter 538 Love Brain

Lu Qiyan even deliberately changed his voice according to the gender, age, and identity of each character in the story. He even performed some of the sounds when describing the scenes through ventriloquism.

The whirring of the wind, the gurgling of the tea being poured, the neighing of the horses as they appear...

A storybook, told in Lu Qiyan's mouth, is so vivid and emotional that one feels as if they are actually there, truly seeing the characters and situations described in the storybook.

Xia Mingyue listened carefully and attentively, and when she heard something exciting, she couldn't help but cheer.

Seeing Xia Mingyue smiling with her eyes curved, and looking much more energetic than when she just woke up, Lu Qiyan felt relieved, and felt that he had made the right move by catering to her preferences. Therefore, he became more and more interested in reading the storybook.

Lu Qiyan's voice was full of emotion and vividness, which immediately attracted the attention of others. They stood at the door and listened attentively, forgetting to do other things for a moment.

Yin Lingyou prepared the medicine and gave it to Zhuang Cui.

Zhuang Cui took the bowl of medicine, stood at the door, and was reluctant to go in.

"Are you so absorbed in listening to the story that you even forget to do your work?" Yin Lingyou raised his eyebrows.

"That's one of the reasons." Zhuang Cui admitted openly and said with a smile, "Besides, I saw that Madam Xia was very happy to hear it, so I didn't want to disturb her too early."

A happy mood is very helpful for the body's recovery.

Besides, a short separation is better than a new marriage. If the two of them can spend more time together, Mrs. Xia’s illness may be mostly cured.

Yin Lingyou understood this principle, and understood Zhuang Cui's intention even more, but he still started to get angry.

Sure enough, once the sour smell of love appears, it is difficult to dispel!
"Then why don't you give the medicine to Lu Qiyan?" Yin Lingyou said unhappily.

Zhuang Cui was stunned for a moment, and then her eyes lit up.

Yes!

How could she be so stupid as to forget this?
Giving the medicine to Commander Lu would not disturb the two people and would not delay their taking of medicine. Isn't that the best of both worlds?
Zhuang Cui was eager to go into the house.

Yin Lingyou reminded from behind, "Add some tea to Lu Qiyan to moisten his throat!"

I'll continue reading the story later.

Not to mention, reading this story is one experience, and listening to it is another unique feeling.

Unique, novel, fascinating...

The experience is excellent!
Besides, Xia Mingyue likes to listen to this story, and Lu Qiyan has a well-maintained voice, so he can also make Xia Mingyue happy.

For patients, mood is very important.

As Yin Lingyou's apprentice, she now understood his temperament to a certain extent and was aware of his intention of reminding her to add more tea. Zhuang Cui replied with a smile, "Yes", and then, as Yin Lingyou said, she and Yin Qiao brought the medicine and tea into the house.

Xia Mingyue was in much better spirits now. She reached out to take the medicine bowl and planned to drink it herself.

"I'll do it." Lu Qiyan didn't give Xia Mingyue any chance to refute. He held the bowl in one hand and the spoon in the other, and fed Xia Mingyue one spoonful at a time.

Xia Mingyue, "..."

Although being served, especially being served by Lu Qiyan, is a very pleasant thing, but this kind of bitter medicine soup has to be drunk spoonful by spoonful...

Extremely painful!

After weighing the two options for enjoyment and endurance for a long time, Xia Mingyue decided to endure the bitter taste that rushed straight to her head, and insisted on drinking a small bowl of almost pitch-black medicine spoon by spoon. Then she hurriedly rinsed her mouth again and again, and even put a piece of candied fruit in her mouth, and then she felt much better.

Only then did Xia Mingyue let out a long sigh.

It seems that I have to drink it all by myself next time. I can’t be so sentimental and make myself suffer…

Lu Qiyan also drank some tea to moisten his throat, and then continued to read the speech to Xia Mingyue.

It was still vivid, lively and interesting, and Xia Mingyue was still listening attentively, her face full of joy.

Although the words sounded nice, the effect of the drug was too strong. Xia Mingyue soon felt sleepy again and fell asleep.

Seeing Xia Mingyue sleeping soundly, Lu Qiyan put down the script in his hand and hurriedly drank a sip of water.

I drank the whole pot of tea, but still felt it was not enough, so I went outside to add some hot water and drank two more cups while it was hot. Only then did I feel my throat was a little better.

He had been in the military camp for a long time, and although he had given speeches, this was the first time he had spoken for such a long time at once, like reading a storybook, so it was inevitable that he was a little uncomfortable with the adjustment.

Fortunately, he had plenty of stamina, and most of the time he didn't just rely on his voice. In addition, he learned ventriloquism from the soldiers because of the need for fighting in the war, so he was much better.

But judging from the situation, he would need to practice more in the future to develop his voice as soon as possible so that he could read the storybooks to Xia Mingyue more conveniently.

No, that doesn't seem to be enough.

After all, this was the first time he read this storybook, so it was inevitable that he was unfamiliar with some parts and lacked the intonation. Next time, he would need to read more storybooks so that he could read them by heart, and then he would be able to tell them fluently and in a more vivid and interesting way.

Yes, that’s it!

With this in mind, Lu Qiyan simply took out the script he had put down and continued to read the following content.

After finishing this one, pick up another one...

Perhaps it was because of Lu Qiyan's company, and because Yin Lingyou increased the dosage of the medicine this time, Xia Mingyue was in a good mood and her body was relaxed. She slept very deeply and soundly.

I slept without any dreams, and when I woke up, it was already night.

"What time is it?" Xia Mingyue saw Lu Qiyan still sitting on the stool beside the bed, so she sat up and lay down.

"The end of the Chou hour." Lu Qiyan reached out and touched Xia Mingyue's forehead, then touched his own. Seeing that the temperature, which had dropped completely before, did not rise again, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he brought over the minced meat porridge that had been warmed on the charcoal fire.

The fresh fragrance of rice and the strong aroma of minced meat are mixed together. After a long time of boiling, they become soft, glutinous and fragrant. Sprinkled with some chopped green onions, it makes people salivate just by looking at it.

Xia Mingyue also felt hungry at this time. Seeing the minced meat porridge, she became more hungry and started to eat it in big mouthfuls.

After finishing a big bowl of minced meat porridge, Xia Mingyue burped.

Calculating the interval time to be about the same, Xia Mingyue took a short rest and drank another bowl of medicine.

Xia Mingyue slept too long during the day, so even though the medicine had a calming effect, she still didn't feel sleepy at all.

Seeing that she was in excellent spirits, Lu Qiyan felt relieved and planned to tell the rest of the story to Xia Mingyue.

Although Xia Mingyue was looking forward to it, she couldn't bear to see Lu Qiyan's eyes were already a little bloodshot, "Take a break first, it won't be too late to talk tomorrow."

Afraid that Lu Qiyan would not agree, Xia Mingyue deliberately yawned, "I feel a little sleepy too. Hmm, how about I hold my husband while sleeping?"
