The Wonderful Steamed Egg

"Are you not drinking it?" Yu Li asked blankly.

Fu Wen Xiao replied, "There is no need for you to press my head down."

Her hand pressing on his head made him feel forced down, like pressing a cow's head to eat grass.

Yu Li reacted half a beat late. She let out an "ah" and silently withdrew her hand, saying, "I thought you had no strength."

Fu Wen Xiao fell silent: "..."

He lowered his head to drink the medicine, feeling that he still had enough strength to drink it without having his head pressed down like that.

As he drank the medicine, Fu Wen Xiao couldn't help but feel a strange sensation in his heart, which had begun the moment he woke up and saw the girl named Yu Li.

According to a normal person's reaction, upon seeing an unconscious "husband" suddenly wake up, she should have been surprised, astonished, or joyful...

But Yu Li's expression was more like she was thinking: "How did this corpse wake up? How strange, let me take a look."

Although Fu Wen Xiao did not want to think this way, he believed he had not misread her.

After feeding him the medicine, Yu Li carried the bowl out without caring about the reaction of the man on the bed.

From the kitchen wafted the aroma of food, so fragrant that Yu Li's soul seemed to be drawn away, leaving her with no mind to pay attention to her newly awakened "husband."

Right now, what she looked forward to most was the daily meals of the Fu family. She wondered what they would have today.

Sure enough, today's lunch was more special than usual; Zhu Shi had made a bowl of steamed egg.

When they sat down to eat, Yu Li and the two children each had a portion of steamed egg in their bowls.

The steamed egg was smooth and delicate, pale yellow in color. It jiggled at the slightest touch, and when placed in the mouth, it became even softer and more delicious...

Yu Li could hardly bear to swallow it.

This was the first time in her life eating steamed egg, and she hadn't expected there to be such delicious food in the world.

Yu Li's expression made Zhu Shi and the two children feel almost full just by watching, yet they still wanted to eat more.

In truth, the food in the Fu family had not been very good lately. There was no meat on the table, only bean porridge, vegetable soup, and pickled vegetables every day. The two children had been well cared for by Zhu Shi before, but since Fu Wen Xiao fell into a coma, the household had no income, and their grain reserves were running low. The family could only eat these dishes repeatedly, making them sick of it.

But today, no one felt a loss of appetite anymore. The two children ate very quickly, filling their bellies.

In Zhu Shi's heart, a touch of pity welled up again, thinking that Yu Li must have never eaten well in the Yu family to regard such a simple dish of steamed egg as a precious delicacy.

How pitiful...

Having eaten the wonderful steamed egg for the first time in her life, Yu Li was in a very good mood. By nightfall, she didn't pay much attention to the sound of someone breathing in the room.

Sensing someone entering the room, Fu Wen Xiao opened his eyes.

The room was pitch black; only a faint silhouette could be seen.

When Fu Wen Xiao realized who had just entered, he couldn't help but feel slightly embarrassed.

Seeing her fumbling her way in, he spoke up, "The oil lamp is on the table."

Yu Li thought he was afraid of the dark, so she immediately found the oil lamp, used a fire striker to light it, and illuminated the room.

The light from the oil lamp was very weak, but it was still better than being plunged into complete darkness.
