Chapter 5, Fragrance.

Xiao Mo finally couldn't bear it anymore. He opened his eyes and said, "I say, Yu Niang, can you please stop calling me that... um, Uncle! ".

Xiao Mo rolled his eyes. He couldn't quite accept the way Yu Niang addressed him. He always thought of her as his niece, which felt a bit strange.

Alas! Still just a child.

When Yuniang came back into the room again, it was already a long time after she had left, and the medicinal soup had already gone cold. After thinking for a moment, Yuniang still took a small sip with her mouth. After trying it, she said, "It's all my fault that the medicinal soup has gone cold. Uncle...I'll go heat it up again!"

Quietly drank the medicine, Yu Niang smiled slightly at Xiao Mo, then left the room and closed the door.

Yu Niang hadn't finished speaking when she heard a woman's voice outside saying, "Has Xiao's brother woken up? Father asked Yun Xue to come and check on him. I don't know if it's convenient now!"

After a night of silence, the next morning, Xiao Mo woke up.

Uncle, are you feeling better? After taking a few puffs, Yu Niang asked Xiao Mo with a blush on her face.

Uh...I wasn't paying attention earlier and some dust from the ceiling beam got into my eye.

Ah? Yuniang looked at Xiaomo in astonishment, with a bewildered expression.

As for herbal medicine, Xiao Mo doesn't really reject it. If you want to recover soon and have a strong body, you definitely need to take medicine.

Since heaven has given oneself a chance to live again, one must cherish it and never waste it again!

Except for Xiao Mo, there are only two women in the Xiao family, Yu Niang and Xiao Mu. Therefore, the matter of Xiao Mo taking a bath must have fallen on their heads. It's just unknown who will help Xiao Mo bathe!

Upon hearing Hu Yunxue's voice, a hint of fear flashed across Yuniang's face. She glanced at Xiao Mo, then picked up the water basin and left the room. She spoke to Hu Yunxue in a somewhat stiff tone, "Uncle, you're awake!"

Looking at the girl's lips so close, Xiao Mo blinked instinctively. When Yu Niang saw it, she separated her fingers and opened Xiao Mo's eyelids, then blew into his eyes.

Uncle!

Xiao Mo disagreed with the several titles that Yu Niang started calling him. He then thought of his current status. Little did he know that after hearing Xiao Mo's words, Yu Niang blushed even more and didn't say anything. She lowered her head and ran away.

Xiao Mo extended his left hand as he heard the words. Men on the left, women on the right. Xiao Mo, of course, understood this principle. Lying in bed these days, with nothing to do, Xiao Mo tried his best to recall some knowledge about ancient times that he knew, thinking about how to behave more like an ancient person and not be seen through by others!

Beautiful lady! And she is an authentic classical beauty!

It has to be said, a woman's complexion changes really quickly!

Um...

Xiao Mo thought to himself: There is no dust in his eyes at all. It will be fine even if you don't blow it!

When Yuniang returned home, it was already past dinner time. Seeing her return late, Mrs. Xiao became displeased and scolded her as usual. Yuniang dared not speak and could only lower her head to the kitchen to brew medicine.

That, Yuniang, there's something I want to talk to you about!

Here we go again, Xiao Mo helplessly closed his eyes. When Yuniang saw this, she couldn't help but ask, "Uncle, are your eyes uncomfortable?"

Yu Niang arrived at Xiao Mo's room on time, opened the window for him, brought a basin of water, and helped Xiao Mo wipe his face. Xiao Mo asked, "Where is mother?"

Okay, don't run away. I won't say anything either. Let's just take the medicine and go to sleep. It's too uncomfortable lying in bed like this!

No wonder, uncle, don't move, let Yuniang blow for you!

He had no idea that, in ancient times, only extremely intimate individuals of the opposite sex would address a man by his courtesy name. It was obvious that Yu Niang misunderstood Xiao Mo's words, thinking that Xiao Mo was implying something!

No wonder Yuniang was able to stay in the Xiao family for such a long time after her husband, who was famous but had no substance, died. She was unwilling to remarry or return to the Qiao family. It turns out that was the reason.

Xiao Mo was surprised, not expecting that Yu Niang, who seemed weak, could say such words.

Xiaomo is the nickname of Xiaomo, but it is the nickname he gave himself in another world. After hearing Xiaomo's words, Yuniang said, "How can that be? Uncle is still uncle, you can't just call him anything."

As Xiao Mo's left hand was on the inside, it was not as convenient as the right hand. He could only place his hand on his chest. As a result, Hu Yunxue had to stand up and move closer, relying on Xiao Mo to take his pulse.

After some consideration, Xiaomo decided to discuss with Yuniang.

Hu Yunxue said, "I wonder how Xiao's brother is feeling physically?"

My mother is entertaining guests outside, so today I'm here to help Uncle... I'll help Ziheng with his washing up!" Yuniang blushed, but finally changed her words and no longer called Xiaomo "Uncle".

What does Bu Xiaomo mean by saying that? Yu Niang felt a little nervous and asked, "If not Uncle, then what should I call you?"

That is to say, although you are younger than me, you are only a few years younger. Although you are my brother's wife, but...

Upon hearing Xiao Mo's question, Yu Niang's face appeared somewhat displeased. Pouting, she said, "It's Doctor Hu and his daughter..."

Xiao Mo continued, "But as far as I know, you and my brother are not actually husband and wife, just a nominal relationship. Speaking frankly, a nominal relationship cannot sustain a living. It all depends on what you want. When you need it, it's a nominal relationship; when you don't, it's nothing. Do you agree with this?"

Xiao Mo cursed silently in his heart. Just at this moment, the door was opened and Yu Niang walked in with a bowl of medicine.

Xiao Mo shouted, but Yuniang refused to come back.

No matter if it's the smell on his body or the extremely itchy scalp, Xiao Mo suspects that he hasn't taken a bath for half a year. Not to mention his scalp, it must have lice.

Xiao Mo tried to move his body in the room. After some effort, Xiao Mo finally felt discouraged. Except for being able to move his eyes, open and close his mouth, and slightly raise his hand, he couldn't do anything else.

Uncle, go ahead and speak!

Hu Yunxue gave Yuniang a slight smile, then walked into Xiao Mo's room.

Smelling the fragrance on the girl's body, feeling the girl's delicate and boneless hands, Xiao Mo couldn't help but feel a secret joy and a surge of happiness. Of course, in front of Hu Yunxue, Xiao Mo couldn't show a foolish appearance, so he simply closed his eyes and secretly rejoiced.

Seeing Hu Yunxue's gaze slowly shift from the furnishings in the room to herself, Xiao Mo smiled and called out, "Miss Yunxue!"

... ...

Xiao Mo is extremely speechless. It's one thing to travel through time, but his current situation is really unbearable.
