"Bro-, brother..."

Ruan Tang hurried turned his head towards the voice and he was met with a pair of moist and shiny light brown eyes.

He reached out and took the child's extremely slender little hand. Controlling the stinging he felt in his throat, he revealed a gentle smile, "I'm here."

The child's eyes seemed to shine a little more, and the two shallow dimples on the cheeks popped out again. His fingers trembled with how much effort he exerted. Only when his soft fingers were finally stuck to the back of Ruan Tang's hand did he stop, feeling content. Those wet eyes stared at him, and the downy eyebrows wrinkled slightly. With an expression like a pleading puppy, he said,

"Brother, please don't leave..."

"Brother won't leave. Brother will stay here with Ruan Yu." He said softly, and reached out and touched Ruan Yu's soft face.

The child actually wanted to talk with his brother a little bit more, but his body was too weak. Just saying a few words already left him a little breathless. His eyelids gradually grew heavy.

"If Xiao Yu is tired, sleep a bit longer. I'll be here to accompany you." Ruan Tang coaxed him in a soft voice.

"En..." Xiao Yu slowly closed his eyes.

Looking at the child's pale face, Ruan Tang felt his heart overflow with loving emotions. He opened his light brain and proceeded to the shopping site on the star network. The shopping mall had successfully established a connection to the 19th planet, but the ingredients available in the mall were less than half of the foods that had been released. The products that were available for sale were basically those that had a long shelf life. Ruan Tang reckoned that the shopping site didn't have a specialized production site on this planet. They probably only had a warehouse for stockpiling goods that were regularly purchased from other nearby planets.

Ruan Tang was prepared to buy some ingredients to make a nutritious soup for Ruan Yu. The child's condition was even worse than that of someone who had just been discharged from the hospital. However, since he could drink nutrient solutions, he should be able to drink soup. The taste of soup was sure to be better than these tasteless nutrient solutions. This child had spent all these years in the hospital, he probably didn't even know the taste of natural foods.

Because his genetic transformation was incomplete, the current nutrient solutions weren't completely suitable for Ruan Yu. At most, it could keep him alive and prevent him from starving. But it was the various vitamins and minerals in natural ingredients that were more beneficial to Ruan Yu's body.

Fortunately, meat had a long shelf-life once frozen. He still had a lot of money in his account on the shopping site, so he bought two chickens and a few potatoes. He also bought some spices and pots, pans and other utensils. The utensils were delivered directly to the house they were renting. He was going to go back and cook a pot of chicken soup for the child. He will also make scallion chicken and hot and sour shredded potatoes for He Yun Chen and Wang Kun, as thanks for getting them to help him with his matters.

Just as he stood up, Ruan Tang felt the corner of his clothes being pulled by something. He looked down and saw that the child had carefully clutched onto the corner of his clothes, as though worried that Ruan Tang would run away. It made Ruan Tang feel even more distressed.

He Yun Chen, who had been staying outside the ward, saw him stand up but not come out. He opened the light brain and sent a message to Ruan Tang.

[He Yun Chen: What happened?]

[Ruan Tang: He just woke up and he fell asleep again after talking a bit. I bought some ingredients on the Star Network and want to go back and cook some soup for him, but he's clinging to my clothes.]
