“Drink.”

After handing her the medicine, Gu Zhihan simply spat out one word, and then his ink-colored pupils stared at her intently.
“Why is it a powder?” As soon as Mengmeng saw the liquid contained in his bowl, her little face immediately drooped, “Aren’t there any fever-reducing capsules or pills?”
Capsules and pills were already difficult enough to swallow; why on earth did powders even exist.
“No!” Gu Zhihan could see her reluctance, his eyebrows knitting together, but instead of persuading her, he threatened, “If you really don’t want to drink it, I won’t force you, but then we’ll need to go to the hospital for an injection!”
As he spoke, he observed the little girl’s face while pretending to pour the medicine into the trash can next to him.
...
“Don’t pour it away… Can’t I just drink it!”
Upon hearing this, Mengmeng, who had been reluctant to take the medicine just a moment ago, snatched the bowl from his hands and pinched her nose, swallowing it all in one gulp.
She acted as if fearing that if she was a step late, he would take her to the hospital for an injection.
Gu Zhihan’s lips twitched; why couldn’t she have been this compliant from the start, without him having to threaten her.
Gurgle, gurgle—
Mengmeng had already finished drinking all the fever-reducing medicine, and after she was done, she turned the bowl upside down in a show of encouragement, “Husband, look, I’ve drunk it all, not a single drop left!”
Indeed, there wasn’t a single drop left in the bowl.
“Mhm, well done.” Gu Zhihan glanced at it, then stretched out his hand to touch her head, generously giving her a tender smile.
Mengmeng enjoyed the caress, letting him stroke her obediently.
Only, her mouth was still filled with the bitter taste of the medicine.
So the little girl tugged at the hem of his clothes, batting her bright eyes up at him, “Husband, do we have any candy at home? My mouth is so bitter, I want some candy.”
Gu Zhihan, however, shook his head, telling her, “We’re out of candy.”
He had noticed just yesterday while cooking that there was no white sugar, brown sugar, or fruit candies left in the cabinet.
“If you feel a bitter taste in your mouth, how about I pour you a glass of water to wash it down?” Gu Zhihan offered again.
“I don’t want to drink water!” Mengmeng shook her head and then looked steadfastly at his cheek, “And who says there is no candy at home, there clearly is!”
Seeing her sincere expression, Gu Zhihan couldn’t help but ask, “Where?”
How could he not know?
“Right here!”
After exclaiming loudly, Mengmeng promptly tiptoed and planted a kiss on his lips.
“You are the candy, no, you are even sweeter than candy!”
After the kiss, the little girl critiqued generously.
“You!!!” Gu Zhihan’s face turned red and then darkened, his ink-colored eyes glaring at the little girl in front of him, struggling for a while before he could muster a few words, “Fine, considering you’re sick, I won’t take it to heart this time!”
With that, he pushed the little girl in front of him aside and walked briskly into the kitchen to cook.
“Husband, if you really do want to make an issue of it, then go ahead, don’t hold it in, I’ll just let you kiss me back!” Mengmeng quickly said from behind him.
“…”
Gu Zhihan almost stumbled.
But don’t think that Mengmeng is all spirited because she took the fever reducer; by nighttime, her fever flared up again, her little face as red as a monkey’s bottom.
Gu Zhihan took her temperature, 38°.
Although this was a decrease from before, it was still above the normal body temperature.
