"Grandma! We can't eat with our hands, we have to use chopsticks!"
"I won't… "
"Hey, didn't I just teach you yesterday? Look, hold the chopsticks with your fingers like this... Yes, hold them like this!"
"It's so troublesome to eat like this."
"Oh, you have to learn slowly!"
"Okay...it's time to eat. When will your dad be home?"
"… "
"Danadus, this kid, hasn't been home for a long time, has he gotten into trouble outside again..."
"Uh... Don't worry, my dad has a lot of things to do outside, he might just be too busy."
"All right… "
In the activity room, Li Yifei, wearing an apron, sat helplessly at the table. Opposite him was the dejected Nix, wearing a black gauze dress, with her head down, wondering what she was thinking.
Outside the door, Lin Qiye, who was wearing a white coat, raised his eyebrows, opened the door and walked in.
"Danadus!?" Nyx's eyes lit up when he saw Lin Qiye, "You're back for dinner?"
Lin Qiye looked at her expectant eyes, smiled and nodded, "I'm back, mother."
"Hurry up and sit down, hurry up and sit down!" Nyx looked around, pulled out a small stool from the side and placed it next to him.
Li Yifei looked at Lin Qiye with resentment, "You still remember to come back..."
"How do you talk to your dad like that?" Nix glared at Li Yifei.
Li Yifei: …
"I was so exhausted from the training these past two days that I fell asleep as soon as I lay down at night. How could I have the energy to come here?" Lin Qiye sighed helplessly and sat down at the table.
He was slightly stunned when he saw the sumptuous meal on the table.
"You did it?"
"yes."
"Where do the ingredients come from?"
"I saw a lot of vegetables planted in the open space behind the yard, so I dug some."
"The vegetables in the yard?" Lin Qiye thought for a moment and pointed at the huge braised fish head. "What about the fish?"
"It's in the small pond next to the ward. Didn't you raise it?"
"… What about rice? Where does rice come from?"
"Oh, I found it in the cabinet in the dean's office." Li Yifei tilted his head, "What's wrong? Is it expired?"
Lin Qiye opened his mouth, looked at Nyx who had already eaten half a bowl of rice, and shook his head silently.
"I think should not be?"
"I don't think so either. After all, I have been eating it for several days and I don't have diarrhea." Li Yifei shrugged.
"… Li Yifei, you are not a human, you are a snake demon, and snake demons don't have diarrhea."
"… "
Lin Qiye picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of fish meat, put it in his mouth and chewed it. The meat was extremely tender and did not taste like the species on Earth.
But since these two people have been eating it for several days, there should be no problem.
Lin Qiye glanced at Nix, raised his brows slightly, and moved his head closer to Li Yifei.
"What have you been doing all this time?"
Li Yifei was stunned. "Nothing. I just chatted with her, taught her how to play chess and cards, let her bask in the sun, and treated her like a grandson... What's wrong?"
"No, you took good care of her."
Li Yifei couldn't see the progress bar above Nix's head, but Lin Qiye could. He remembered that more than ten days ago, the treatment progress bar above Nix's head was only about 20%, but now it had directly increased to 48%!
In fact, even without the progress bar, Lin Qiye could feel that Nyx was much healthier.
He still remembered when Nyx was just released from the ward. She was dull and stupid, treating everything she saw as a child. She was also very resistant to talking and would only chat with the vase at most.
Not only does Nyx no longer mistake strange things for children, but she has also become much more lively. She can chat and communicate normally with Li Yifei, and there is obviously more smartness in her eyes.
It seems that having someone to accompany her is very good for her illness... Lin Qiye thought to himself.
It was the right choice to revive Li Yifei as a nurse in the hospital!
Now Nyx's healing progress has reached 48%. Just a little more and her ability can be extracted for the second time.
How about... try it today
Lin Qiye hesitated for a moment, stretched out his chopsticks, picked up a piece of fish, and handed it to Nyx's bowl.
"Eat more, mother."
Nyx was stunned, turned to look into Lin Qiye's eyes, and tears appeared in his eyes.
"Danadus, you have grown up..."
Click.
Under Lin Qiye's gaze, the treatment progress jumped from 48% to 49%.
Lin Qiye: ()!
"Mom, eat more vegetables..."
"Mom, I think this fish tastes really good, please try it..."
"Mother, let me serve you some food!"
"Mother… "
Lin Qiye began to frantically pick up dishes and add rice to Nyx's table, while Nyx ate happily and silently shed tears, which made Li Yifei on the opposite side stunned.
"Qiye, you are..."
"Li Yifei." Lin Qiye turned to look at Li Yifei, "Show me a talent for grandma."
Li Yifei: (?)What
"Talent! Go!"
"Oh..." Li Yifei scratched his head, stood up from his seat, and thought for a while, "Grandma, I don't have any special skills, so I'll show you how to eat upside down!"
Lin Qiye: …
The two of them struggled with Nyx for a long time, but the progress bar remained motionless. Lin Qiye sighed helplessly.
It seems that this kind of thing really can't be forced.
After all, I am a doctor who treats patients. Although whether I can cure diseases is still a question, I can't just do it blindly.
However, it is undeniable that this is the busiest time in the Gods' Mental Hospital, and also the time when it is most human.
Li Yifei carried the plate and went to the kitchen to wash the dishes diligently. Lin Qiye took out today's medicine from the cabinet, separated it carefully, and prepared to feed it to Nyx.
Nix was still sitting quietly on the small stool beside the table, staring blankly at Lin Qiye who was busy and focused. He seemed to have thought of something, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Dhanados."
"What's wrong?"
"How long has it been since our house was so lively?"
Lin Qiye hesitated for a moment and shook his head, "I don't know."
"You kids, when you grow up, you go further and further away. I have so many children, but in the end... I am the only one left."
Nyx's eyes dimmed slightly.
Lin Qiye looked at Nyx in silence for a long time, then walked up to her with hot water and medicine.
"At least, now you have us, don't you?" Lin Qiye said softly, handing the water to her hand.
"We... are not leaving."
Nyx's body shook slightly, and she looked into Lin Qiye's eyes, with an unprecedented glow in her eyes!
At the same time, the treatment progress bar above her head moved forward a little bit again.
"
Nyx treatment progress: 51%
The conditions for obtaining the reward have been met, and you can randomly draw Nyx's godhood ability again.
Nyx's treatment progress has exceeded 50%, and she can leave the Gods Psychiatric Hospital for a short period of time..."
