Chapter 135: Abbreviated as Kidney Deficiency

Chapter 135: A.K.A. Kidney Deficiency

Bai Ruoshui couldn't speak for the moment, but he still tried his best to mouth out the words to Bai Yuanzhou: Happy birthday, baby.

Bai Yuanzhou clenched his fists, rushed outside, and shouted for someone to fetch Wu Shao. Then he quickly carried him back to the bed.

Bai Ruoshui held his hand, gazing at him tenderly.

Wu Shao hurried over and immediately began acupuncture treatment.

After a few needles, Bai Ruoshui closed his eyes again.

Bai Yuanzhou was frantic as an ant on a hot skillet. When he saw Bai Ruoshui pass out, his legs went weak: "What's going on? Why is he asleep again? He's not gonna..."

"Quiet! Take him to my pharmacy first and hook him up to some nutrients."

Bai Ruoshui's bodily functions had been dormant for a long time—like a machine that's been sitting unused, it needs a little time to get going again.

The others who heard the palace attendants' report dropped everything and gathered outside Wu Shao's pharmacy, waiting.

Except for Bai Ningxin, who was holding Long Shen, all the other omegas leaned against their alphas, looking a little shaky.

They waited until dawn before Wu Shao opened the door and let them in.

"He needs rest now. Take a look, but try not to talk to him too much. After a month of recuperation, he should mostly recover." Wu Shao rarely smiled.

Long Shen pressed his palms together, thanking heaven and earth that he was finally awake.

Bai Ningxin was the first to walk in. Both of Bai Ruoshui's hands had IV needles in them. When he saw his father come in, he forced a faint smile and opened his mouth, like he was trying to call out to him.

Bai Ningxin stepped forward quickly: "Good boy, let's not talk right now."

Bai Ruoshui understood his situation and smiled, blinking.

Bai Ningxin gently stroked the face that looked so much like his own, tears welling up: "Dad will never let you get hurt again. Never let you leave me again."

Tears leaked from the corners of Bai Ruoshui's eyes. Sometimes he felt like he was being selfish—for the sake of his beloved, he'd made his family suffer.

But that was his Yuanzhou. If he hadn't done it, he wouldn't have been able to keep living either.

"Don't cry. Waking up is a good thing—let's not cry." Bai Ningxin wiped the tears from his face, holding back his own tears.

Bai Yeye sniffled, sitting pitifully next to Bai Ruoshui: "Second bro, Yeye missed you so much. When you were gone, Yeye couldn't eat a single bite. You gotta get better soon."

Bai Ruoshui raised his hand with effort and gently wrote "eat well" on his palm.

He was only awake for about half an hour before he went back to sleep. Wu Shao told everyone to head back and not disturb his recovery.

After they left, he gave Bai Yuanzhou a few pointers and got ready to rest himself.

Bai Yuanzhou stopped him, smiling with a hint of awkwardness: "Master, do you have any meds for building strength?"

Wu Shao glanced at Bai Ruoshui still lying on the sickbed, his tone angry: "You animal! His body hasn't recovered yet!"

Bai Yuanzhou quickly explained: "It's not what you think. It's just that I've been looking too rough lately, and I'm afraid he'll worry."

He wanted to get his mental state back to peak condition before Bai Ruoshui woke up again.

"Even miracle meds can't fix you up in a few hours."

Getting your body back in shape isn't something that happens overnight.

Bai Yuanzhou sighed: "Well then, I'll look into some natural vitality makeup."

Wu Shao: …

"Dad... help... Dad!" Bai Yeye lay limp on the bed, his beautiful long hair spread out beneath him, red plum blossoms blooming across his fair skin—even his forearms weren't spared.

Poor Yeye thought that agreeing to marry would make Shen Yu focus on the wedding, but instead, Shen Yu got so happy he tormented him even more.

The alpha's thick pheromones surrounded him. Bai Yeye wanted to escape but couldn't.

Shen Yu came out of the bathroom, dried off, and climbed into bed to hold him.

"What are you gonna do?" Bai Yeye tried to curl up into a ball and roll away.

Shen Yu kissed his cheek: "I'm not gonna torment you anymore. Don't be scared."

Bai Yeye relaxed a little, turning on his side to snuggle into his arms: "You said so."

"Mm, good Yeye, go to sleep." As Shen Yu tidied his long hair, his fingertips brushed the gland at the back of Bai Yeye's neck.

Bai Yeye shuddered slightly, looking at him warily: "You're being sneaky again!"

Every time Shen Yu touched his gland, nothing good ever came of it.

Shen Yu withdrew his hand and kissed his forehead: "I promised you, I'll let you rest well."

Bai Yeye muttered: "Why don't you mark me?"

Shen Yu was so interested in his gland but wouldn't mark him—it was really strange.

Shen Yu definitely wanted to mark him, but he wanted to save that special moment for their wedding night.

"I wanna save it for our wedding night."

Bai Yeye pouted: "Then why don't you save some energy and use it then?"

Shen Yu caressed his face tenderly: "I'm afraid you won't be able to take it."

If he couldn't take it now, after Shen Yu had saved up that long, Bai Yeye would definitely pass out.

Bai Yeye shed two noodle tears. In the future, when he had Little Ye, he'd tell him not to give himself up so easily. Better to have a soul-deep romance, or it'd be the death of him.

"Look how scared you are. Don't worry—I was tired during my first training too. Once you get used to it, it won't be tiring anymore."

Bai Yeye said gloomily: "Don't try to gaslight me! I'm not gonna get used to it!"

"Like it or not, you will." General Shen was especially dominant when it came to this.

Bai Yeye poked his abs, then buried his face in his chest.

Shen Yu spread the news about their upcoming wedding. The alphas who coveted Bai Yeye were extremely jealous but couldn't do anything about it.

Not to mention Shen Yu commanding a hundred thousand troops—even if it were just Shen Yu by himself, they wouldn't dare challenge him one-on-one.

Bai Yeye started being "diligent in court affairs," because if he wasn't diligent in court affairs, he'd be played with by General Shen—played with, that is, right under his thumb.

Shen Yu was even more on top of things than he was, having everything taken care of by early morning. Bai Yeye ran off to find Bai Ruoshui again, clinging to his arm and not letting go.

"Easy, easy, don't break my wife!" Bai Yuanzhou was nervous, afraid he might use too much force and hurt Bai Ruoshui.

Bai Ruoshui chuckled softly, "It's okay. Yeye, are you hungry, sweetie?"

"Not hungry, but I want to stay and take care of Brother Ruoshui. Brother Yuanzhou, you go rest, I'll handle it."

"No way!" Bai Yuanzhou wouldn't budge from his side.

"Then we'll both take care of him. From today on, I'm moving in and not leaving."

Bai Ruoshui fed him a piece of candy and said gently, "Did you and Shen Yu have a fight?"

"No fight, it's just..." Bai Yeye was too embarrassed to say it out loud.

Bai Ruoshui noticed the faint marks on his neck and roughly understood.

He made an excuse to send Bai Yuanzhou away and handed Bai Yeye a bottle of medicine.

"What's this?"

"The first one is for strengthening the body."

"If Shen Yu gets any stronger, I'll really pass out!"

"I know, so it's for you to take, so you don't burn out and wreck your kidneys."

Basically, weak kidneys.
