Chapter 42 I don't know!

As the key was inserted into the lock, the door, which had not been opened for some time, was finally pushed open again, and a faint smell of dust immediately wafted out.

Looking at the somewhat dusty house, Jiang's mother turned her head and gave Huo Yuhao an apologetic smile.

"Sorry, I haven't been back for so long, the house is a bit dusty."

She originally planned to go out to eat, but because Huo Yuhao insisted, she couldn't persuade him otherwise and ended up buying some ingredients to cook at home herself.

"Mom, let me clean."

As Jiang Nannan spoke, she skillfully walked into the house.

"it is good."

Jiang's mother nodded upon hearing this. "Yuhao, you rest for a while. I'll go cook now."

However, before he could finish speaking, Huo Yuhao took the initiative to speak with a smile.

"Auntie, I can also help Sister Nan Nan..."

Upon hearing this, Jiang's mother's expression turned serious. "How can that be? It's unacceptable to have guests help with housework."

"Auntie, we're here today to celebrate your discharge from the hospital. There's no such thing as being a guest."

"That won't do either. You child, if word gets out, people will laugh at us, mother and son."

Seeing this, Huo Yuhao showed a helpless expression. He glanced at the vegetables in Jiang's mother's hand and suddenly his eyes lit up.

"Auntie, you must let me help with the cooking, right? I'm quite good at cooking, so you can try some tonight."

"this……"

"Alright, Auntie, at least other guests bring gifts when they come to visit. I came empty-handed, so I should at least be allowed to do something, right?"

After saying that, Huo Yuhao didn't give Jiang's mother a chance to refute him. He took the ingredients from her and walked towards the kitchen, leaving Jiang's mother and Jiang Nannan looking at each other in bewilderment.

Seeing her mother's conflicted expression, Jiang Nannan couldn't help but laugh.

"Alright, Mom, you can see it yourself. Yuhao is like this. If you really let him just watch, he probably won't even want to come."

"Oh, what a good child."

Hearing her mother's sighs, Jiang Nannan recalled how Tang Ya had boasted about her cooking skills back in college, and she felt a strange sense of anticipation for the upcoming dinner.

"Mom, Xiaoya said Yuhao is a great cook. We might be in for a treat tonight."

"Yeah?"

Jiang's mother was also a little curious, but as she entered the kitchen and saw Huo Yuhao's knife skills, which were even more proficient than hers, her doubts completely disappeared.

Throughout the process, her role was simply to help Huo Yuhao fetch various utensils and seasonings, essentially acting as his assistant.

Watching Huo Yuhao bustling around, Jiang's mother suddenly seemed to remember something, and her face flushed. She first cautiously glanced outside the kitchen, and seeing that Jiang Nannan was cleaning the bedroom and hadn't noticed them, she mustered up her courage and turned to look at the boy who had his back to her.

"Yuhao".

"Um?"

Huo Yuhao paused in his actions, subconsciously turned around, and was taken aback when he saw Jiang's mother's face filled with deep embarrassment.

"What's wrong, Auntie?"

"That's it."

Every time she was about to speak, Jiang's mother felt a strong sense of shame welling up inside her.

"Well, after my heart condition was cured, I actually experienced some aftereffects."

"Aftereffects?"

Huo Yuhao was slightly taken aback. The other person was clearly very healthy when he checked him earlier.

"Auntie, please don't get agitated. Tell me what your symptoms are."

"Don't tell Nannan about this... it's just that in certain places... it's been..."

Hearing Huo Yuhao's words, Jiang's mother felt even more ashamed. She stammered for a long time before finally explaining her situation. During this process, she felt as if her soul had been sublimated in the extreme shame, and her voice gradually became calm.

Simply put, they've become more shameless.

As for Huo Yuhao, who was listening, he was dumbfounded.

He never imagined that there would be such a bizarre aftereffect.

Could it be some kind of naturally sensitive constitution?

For some reason, Huo Yuhao suddenly recalled the cute little bean standing upright in his palm a few days ago after his heart was treated, but then he was pulled back to reality by Jiang's mother's voice.

"I've tried quite a few methods these past few days, but none of them seem to be working very well. I was wondering if you have any suggestions."

I don't know!

Huo Yuhao wanted to say that this was beyond his knowledge, but seeing Jiang's mother's shy and troubled expression, he felt it was better to think of a solution himself.

After a mental storm, Huo Yuhao suddenly had a flash of inspiration. He raised his head and looked at Jiang's mother with some hesitation.

"How about you try drinking, Auntie?"

"drink wine?"

Seeing that Jiang's mother was somewhat puzzled, Huo Yuhao coughed twice and explained in a serious tone.

"Auntie's condition is likely due to oversensitivity; she needs a long period to adapt. To speed up this adaptation process, you can provide some stronger stimulation."

"And moderate drinking can accelerate blood circulation, which should help with your... well, the aftereffects, Auntie."

Simply put, once the body experiences a few major upheavals, these minor remedies will naturally become ineffective.

"I understand, thank you, Yuhao."

Jiang's mother's eyes lit up when she understood what he meant. She nodded gratefully to him and then walked out of the kitchen.

As the sound of a mother and daughter talking rang out, the front door opened and closed a moment later, and Jiang's mother returned to the kitchen, continuing to help him while letting out a helpless sigh.

"This girl said she was worried and insisted on going to buy wine for me."

Huo Yuhao smiled upon hearing this, "Sister Nannan is worried about you, Auntie."

Jiang's mother sounded somewhat disappointed upon hearing this, "It's my illness that's causing her so much worry. Since Nannan started school, she only comes home for about a month a year, and she stays with me at the clinic the whole time. It's really been hard on her."

Immediately afterward, as if she had thought of something, Jiang's mother stopped chopping vegetables, turned her head to look at him, and said with a smile.

"Yuhao, I heard you also live in Tiandou City. You can come over to visit sometime. Nannan is at school and I'm always alone at home. It would be nice if you could come more often to make the house more lively."

Huo Yuhao chuckled and nodded, "Okay, I'll come over for a meal whenever I have time, just don't kick me out."

"Don't say that, we're more than happy to welcome you."

Just as Jiang Nannan returned with the wine, the last dish was served.

"Nannan, come on, it's time to eat. I guarantee you'll eat your fill of today's dishes."

Jiang Nannan was taken aback when she saw the delicious-looking dishes on the table.

"Mom, did you make all of this?"

Seeing the shocked look in her daughter's eyes, Jiang's mother blushed.

"Don't bother looking, Yuhao did it all. I just lent a hand."

She had agreed to treat everyone to dinner, but the people she was invited to cook all the meals themselves, making her, who was already shy, feel even more embarrassed.

"Was it all done by Yuhao?"

Jiang Nannan subconsciously looked at Huo Yuhao, "Yuhao, you can cook at such a young age? Where did you learn?"

"I usually like to figure things out on my own, and luckily I have a bit of talent... Come on, try it and see how it tastes."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Nannan gently picked up a piece of meat with her chopsticks and put it in her mouth. Her eyes lit up instantly, and she couldn't help but look at Huo Yuhao.

"Yuhao, now I understand why Xiaoya keeps praising your cooking. It's more than just having some talent."

"As long as it suits your taste."

Huo Yuhao smiled, while Jiang's mother, standing beside him, took the wine handed to her by Jiang Nannan and teased her with a smile.

"You two are still young, so you'll have to make do with juice."

Jiang Nannan looked at the bottle of wine, as if she had thought of something, and asked hesitantly, "Mom, have you ever drunk alcohol before?"

Jiang's mother paused for a moment upon hearing this, "I don't think so."

But then she waved her hand, poured herself a small glass, and said nonchalantly.

"It's okay, just drink less. With Yuhao here, nothing will happen."

There's always a first time for everything. Besides, compared to being tormented by aftereffects and having to change underwear several times a day, what's a little alcohol?

After half an hour.

Seeing Jiang's mother, who was laughing and joking with them just a second ago, suddenly collapse on the dining table without any warning, muttering something unintelligible, Huo Yuhao and Jiang Nannan exchanged a glance and fell into deep thought.
