Chapter 5: Little Coward

Hao Yun quickly shut his mouth, used his cane to create an afterimage, and immediately moved away from the person behind him.

Chen Tang endured the dizziness and opened his eyes, and immediately saw He Xu sitting next to him. His upright figure was like a pine or cypress, his waist was as thin as a bee, and his profile was handsome. His confused little head was full of question marks, who was this?

He Xu had been sitting there for a while. When he saw Chen Tang wake up, he moved closer to take a look.

"Oh, you look pretty good."

Chen Tang bit her pink lips and leaned back subconsciously, her brown eyes full of watery light and alertness.

His eyes dimmed slightly, and he said softly, "Little coward."

Chen Tang subconsciously replied: "Who are you calling a coward?"

He Xu: "You are confused due to the fever?"

Chen Tang smiled, like a blooming pink peach blossom, which made He Xu stunned for a moment.

"Oh, the coward is talking about me."

He Xu thought for a moment and immediately understood her irony.

I touched my back teeth with my tongue. Has this little coward really grown up?

He Xu was not a man who was easily mocked. He sneered, stretched out two fingers, and pinched her face hard. He let go only when he saw that Shen Tang's eyes were filled with tears due to pain and her brown pupils reflected his figure.

Feeling the heat gradually rising in his body, he cursed her in his heart, "You witch."

"Since you are sick, I will forgive you this time. Don't ridicule me in the future. Do you hear me?"

Chen Tang was timid to begin with, and he was dizzy from the fever. Seeing how fierce he was, he subconsciously shrank his neck and nodded his little head timidly.

He Xu was satisfied: "You still owe me one dollar for medical expenses, remember to go back and pay me back."

The little girl complained tearfully, "He pinched her just for one dollar!"

What a hateful person!

He Xu raised his eyebrows: "What's that look in your eyes?"

Chen Tang's body stiffened, he turned his head away and muttered quietly: "It's the look that makes you want to curse."

He Xu, who had excellent hearing, laughed angrily: "Coward, a coward who talks behind people's backs."

Chen Tang glared at him, met those sharp black eyes, and looked away in fear.

He Xu sneered. He was eating a soft bun in one bite, and he dared to glare at others?

The two stayed in silence for a while, and Zhou Ling walked into the hospital with two lunch boxes.

She thought that He Xu would not have time to eat lunch after helping out, so she went to the cafeteria to buy food for two people first. On the way, she met Xiao Li who was driving and gave him a ride, so she came here so quickly.

"Tangtang, are you feeling better?"

Chen Tang puffed up his cheeks and replied cutely, "Much better."

Zhou Ling touched her forehead and thought it was still hot. She should ask for leave from the head of the art troupe for Chen Tang when she got back. The little girl shouldn't be too tired.

There was no table nearby, so she had to hand the lunch boxes to He Xu and Shen Tang, and took out two spoons from her bag and gave them to them.

"It's noon now, you two should eat first. He Xu, thank you for today. Come to my house for dinner tonight. I'll go see if there are any spare ribs left."

"You're welcome, Auntie. Comrade Shen is still ill, and it's been hard for you to take care of this family. I won't go over tonight. I'll go to Auntie's house another day when I'm free. Don't complain that I eat too much then."

Zhou Ling couldn't stop smiling after hearing this: "How is it hard? It's not hard at all. If you can come, I will be so happy. Come over for dinner tomorrow and I will kill a chicken so you can taste my cooking skills."

He Xu glanced at Chen Tang, who looked like a goose, and somehow he agreed.

Zhou Ling felt even more satisfied when she saw that he agreed.

The old ladies in the family compound always said that He Xu was fierce and cruel, and he was ruthless when scolding people. But she said that this child was so well-behaved, polite and considerate, and he was also handsome.

If it weren't for those old ladies' reputation of humiliating He Xu, he wouldn't have found a partner at the age of 23.

Zhou Ling sighed in her heart, turned around and saw her niece puffing up her cheeks and trying to open the lunch box for a long time, and sighed again.

She also thought about introducing her niece to He Xu, but the two had known each other since childhood, and if they were interested, they would have been interested in each other a long time ago.

Especially since her niece has a lame eye and loves men who are remarried and have three children. If she introduces them to each other, it would not be a marriage, but an enemy.

Zhou Ling helped Chen Tang open the lunch box, and saw Chen Tang grab her clothes and shake her, then obediently handed the lunch box to her.

"Auntie, you eat first."

Zhou Ling's heart was filled with warmth: "Aunt has eaten, you can eat it."

Her niece is so well-behaved, who is worthy of her?

Although Chen Tang was still dizzy, his sanity had gradually returned.

She knew that her aunt must not have eaten yet if she came so quickly, and she would have to accompany her to finish the infusion, so she would have no time to go home.

So she ate a few bites and handed the lunch box to her: "Auntie, a little is enough for me, you eat it."

Seeing that she closed her eyes in pain, Zhou Ling had no choice but to eat the food in the lunch box.

When she went to wash the dishes, Chen Tang suddenly smelled the tempting smell of chicken soup. She sniffed her little nose and opened her eyes, just in time to meet He Xu's playful eyes.

She froze for a moment: "He, Captain He?"

"Eat it."

He Xu felt a little sorry when he saw that she had regained consciousness. He lost interest in teasing her. When he saw Zhou Ling coming back, he turned around and left.

Chen Tang thought this man was weird, but she was indeed a little hungry, so she thought that she would return the money for the medical treatment and the chicken soup to him later, so she finished the bowl of chicken soup.

After drinking the delicious hot chicken soup, Chen Tang felt better.

After the infusion, Chen Tang and Zhou Ling rode their bicycles back home.

Hao Yun appeared out of nowhere and walked to He Xu with a cane.

Following his gaze, I saw the depressed little girl's back gradually disappearing at the hospital entrance.

He stroked his chin, thinking: "Captain, you are not really in love with her, are you?"

He Xu glanced over coldly: "Who am I annoying? Why would I like someone who has someone else in his heart?"

Hao Yun was his high school classmate and knew him fairly well. After thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was impossible.

He Xu's family is a mess. He has had psychological mysophobia since he was a child and is extremely cautious about relationships.

If I liked Chen Tang, I would have liked him a long time ago, why would I wait until now?

These two people are from the same compound.
