Chapter 24: “Poison (2)”
Jun Wu Xie started to examine his legs as she applied pressure over a few areas. “Are you not able to feel anything at all?”
“Occasionally a few chills, but not very obvious.” He replied.
She continued to examine his legs and finally after some time she looked up and asked: “Uncle, do you trust me?” She asked calmly.
“ Of course!” He smiled warmly at her.
Jun Wu Xie looked around her surroundings and her gaze landed on the lotus pond, as her eyes flashed a trace of excitement.
“These lotus flowers are so beautiful,take for instance this lotus here in full bloom. Hmmm… I wonder if Uncle likes to eat lotus seeds?” She casually asked.
Jun Qing gave a quick thought and replied : “I do eat them occasionally.”
“I just picked some yesterday and thought they tasted really good! Would you like to try some as well?” She asked again in a casual tone.
“Of course I would, It’s been handpicked by you.” He happily agreed. His own little niece is now so sensible. If it was before, even if she ever picked any lotus seeds, the first person she would give it to would be Mo Xuan Fei!
“Uncle open your mouth” she added.
Jun Qing was surprised although he didn’t know what she was up to but as a doting Uncle, all he wanted was for his niece to be happy so he listened to her and opened his mouth.
As soon as he did that, Jun Wu Xie immediately flicked the lotus seed into his mouth and before he could even react, she closed his mouth and tilted his head up forcing him to swallow it down.
“…………….” From her ‘gentle feeding” method, he almost choked out tears.
Just when he thought she was finally getting more sensible, the way she did things was still a little….rough.
Jun Wu Xie can’t be blamed for crude method of feeding medicine. It’s just that it was never in her genes to begin with. With regards to patients who refused to eat medications, she always had a single thought- that was to have the patient eat it and her method was crude but effective without room for resistance.
