The Demon King's heir
[S2] CHAPPIE. 70 - KETTLE CAKE

This was the story of the first time, Yun Weixian had a fever when she was five years old. It was snowing and Shin Yixuan was making wheat porridge for the young Yun Weixian.

At first he did not realize that Yun Weixian's face was blushing due to her suddenly hot body temperature when she had just woken up. Then, while he was putting a bowl of porridge in front of Yun Weixian's table, that was when Shin Yixuan felt curious about his current state.

”What's with your face, Weixian? Are you feverish?” asked Shin Yixuan who did not get an answer from Yun Weixian. He then tried to touch Yun Weixian's forehead and how shocked he was after knowing that at this moment, Yun Weixian was having a fever.

”How can you get a fever? Did you just play snowball outside?” asked Shin Yixuan who then raised Yun Weixian while saying, ”For now you should rest. I will accompany you to sleep.” he said as he walked towards his room.

While there, Shin Yixuan quickly placed Yun Weixian on the bed and gave her a thick blanket. Not only that, he also checked his desk drawer and several other places but, he did not find any medicine that could lower his fever. Then, in the end he tried to call Huang Luo who often traveled by using his spell paper.

However, it seemed that Huang Luo refused to come to him and chose to let Yun Weixian get sick like that.

Having no choice, he had to make the medicine himself. He often saw his mother was concocting medicine when he was sick. Because, before he was an ordinary man just like his mother. So, he immediately looked for some medicinal plants that could reduce fever.

After an hour he kept searching, he finally found the right plant to treat it. Then, after he returned home, he immediately mix all the plants.

Although not as smart as his mother, at least he knew the plants that could cure the disease.

A short while after he brewed it into a drink, he immediately gave it to Yun Weixian who was still resting.

While drinking it, Yun Weixian did feel a little bitter. However, he had already drunk it and could not let Shin Yixuan down. Soon after, he felt a little better. No more nausea in his stomach. This time he was calm and could breathe.

”How are you doing? Is it feeling better?” shin Yixuan asked as she touched Yun Weixian's forehead.

Yun Weixian put away Shin Yixuan's hand that was still touching her forehead. ”I'm fine. Thank you.” he said while distracting him.

Shin Yixuan smiled faintly and said, ”Thank God. Now, is there anything you want?”

Yun Weixian fell silent and looked at him expressionlessly. Then, shortly after he replied, ”I want a glutinous cake wrapped in bamboo leaves.”

Shin Yixuan was stunned for a moment. He touched Yun Weixian's head back and said, ”I'll make it for you soon.”

***

Yun Weixian awoke from her sleep after she had a dream about her past. Right now, he was curled up on Shin Yixuan's bed as it waited for her to wake up. It had been a full day Shin Yixuan continued to fall asleep and that, of course, added to the burden of Yun Weixian's mind.

He got up and rubbed his dirty eyes. After which, his gaze was immediately fixed on the bed that was in front of him. He thought Shin Yixuan was still asleep there but, suddenly, she disappeared when night had come.

”Where does he go?” muttered Yun Weixian who looked surprised as she watched around however, she did not also find Shin Yixuan being in her room.

After that, he immediately ran out of the room and opened every door that was there. And again, he didn't find it in every place. He ran to the exit and saw a white-haired young man sitting in front of the porch.

”Xuan-Ge! What are you doing here?” yun Weixian asked who was still standing next to him.

Shin Yixuan looked at Yun Weixian's face palely. His eyes looked sleepy and his lips looked lazy to speak. Feeling that all this would not be finished soon, Yun Weixian sat down next to Shin Yixuan who was looking back at the night sky.

”How are you doing now? You feel better?” yun Weixian asked as she looked at him.

Shin Yixuan did not reply and simply nodded without looking back at her.

”Then, why is Xuan-Ge here? The air is still very cold.”

Again Shin Yixuan fell silent without a word. He took something from within his sleeves and gave it to Yun Weixian.

Yun Weixian herself looked surprised after seeing it. She did not expect Shin Yixuan to give her the sticky rice cake she used to ask for when she was sick. ”... Did Xuan-Ge make it? How do you do that when you're sick right now?” yun Weixian asked who looked in disbelief.

Shin Yixuan pointed towards a small sized god statue that was in front of her. In front of the statue there are several types of food and fruits including sticky rice cakes that have just been given by him.

”So, he stole it?!” inner Yun Weixian who looked surprised. He then looked back at Shin Yixuan. ”It's not good if stealing like that. I will return it.” he said while trying to take the cake from him however, Shin Yixuan still did not want it.

Yun Weixian said back, ”Xuan-Ge can't steal! Return the cake to the owner!” he said he kept trying to take the cake from him.

Shin Yixuan still did not want it and instead hid it.

”Xuan-Ge! Restore it!” yun Weixian said once more. However, Shin Yixuan still rejected him.

In the end, being forced to eat Shin Yixuan even though eating human food was not her specialty.

And when the food had just reached his throat, suddenly Shin Yixuan vomited because she was not used to eating food other than heart and blood. That, of course, made Yun Weixian's worry even more.

”You okay? Xuan-ge! Xuan-Ge!”

A moment later, the two of them finally remained silent. They sat on the porch of the house while looking at the dark-looking sky. Shin Yixuan looked fine compared to this morning. His face no longer looked pale and his body temperature returned cold as ice. However, he still enveloped himself with a blanket as if he was looking for warmth.

”Xuan-Ge? How are you doing? You really feel okay?” yun Weixian asked who was sitting next to him.

Shin Yixuan did not reply and only nodded her head slightly. The same thing, definitely made Yun Weixian feel a little annoyed. Then, he immediately said, ”At least tell me something! Prove you're okay!”

Shin Yixuan closed her eyes and leaned against the pillar of the house. He felt that he wanted to sleep now. However, shortly after he finally said, ”I never hated you, Xian'er.” he said in a soft voice as he closed his eyes.
