Chapter 005: Hungry and Faint

Gu Caiwei subconsciously reached out and hugged him.

"Oh my! Madam, what did you do to the young master?" Qingluo was immediately frightened, her face turning pale.

However, while exclaiming, she hurriedly ran over and closed the courtyard door in a fluster.

Gu Caiwei couldn't help but sigh.

How much trouble had her cousin caused before, to make her personal maid's first reaction be that she had done something to the child, rather than the child having an accident on his own?

"I didn't do anything to him, he fainted from hunger himself," she said helplessly.

"What?" Qingluo was stunned. "Madam, how did you know?"

"Do I need to be asked? Look at his skinny appearance, it's obvious that this child is usually picky with food, and now he's severely malnourished. His physical strength can't keep up, and his organs are weak. He fainted from a little excitement," Gu Caiwei said nonchalantly. "It's not a big problem, just feed him well and replenish what he needs."

"Is that so?" Qingluo still couldn't believe it.

"Otherwise? Do you expect him to have a serious problem under my care?" Gu Caiwei asked coolly.

Qingluo quickly lowered her head. "I dare not!"

Of course, she didn't dare. Otherwise, if that guy Du Junching knew that his son had an accident here, no one in their courtyard would be spared!

Gu Caiwei waved to her, and Qingluo quickly came over. The master and servant together moved the little boy to the bed inside.

Then, looking at the motionless boy on the bed, Qingluo still looked frightened. "Madam, what should we do now?"

"What else can we do? Feed him until he's full!" Gu Caiwei said softly, then turned to scoop a bowl of fish porridge.

Scooping up a spoonful of perfectly cooked porridge, Gu Caiwei sighed softly. "Ah, do you think I owe them father and son? I just finished arguing with his father, and now this little brat clearly came looking for trouble, but I still have to give him half of the porridge I cooked so painstakingly."

Muttering under her breath, she still blew the porridge cool and brought it to the boy's mouth. Qingluo quickly helped the boy sit up and gently opened his mouth.

This child was really hungry. The fragrant and tender porridge was sent into his mouth, and he immediately swallowed it. After a few more feedings, when the spoon was brought to his mouth again, he had already opened his mouth to swallow it.

Unconsciously, he finished a bowl of porridge.

Gu Caiwei called a little maid to continue watching the child, and she went out to scoop the remaining porridge into a bowl and ate it all.

After finishing, she put the remaining fish bones in the pot and simmered them over low heat.

Before long, the fish bone soup turned milky white. She scooped out a bowl, sprinkled some green onions, and the fresh fragrance filled the air.

At this moment, a low cry came from the room, "The young master is awake!"

Gu Caiwei quickly walked over and saw the little boy had opened his eyes.

When he saw Gu Caiwei in front of him, he immediately sat up. "You... what did you feed me?"

As he spoke, he clutched his throat, trying to get the food he had eaten out of his stomach.

Gu Caiwei pursed her lips and gently stirred the soup in the bowl, and a tantalizing aroma filled the air.

The boy couldn't help but gulp and quickly covered his mouth.

Seeing this, Gu Caiwei walked over to him with a smirk. "You just ate my fish porridge. How was it? I still have fish bone soup here, do you want a bowl?"

"Who allowed you to feed me? Who wants to drink your stinky soup?" The boy immediately scowled, jumped off the bed, and ran out in a flash.
