Pei Manning sat there, looking at the glass of water with her moist almond-shaped eyes, then looking at him, with an expression that was so helpless that she couldn't speak. Han Jingchen understood what was wrong with her.
Did you think the water was too cold? He had heard that women could drink something too cold.
Coquettish!
If it was someone else who was so difficult to please, King Han Yan would have kicked him out long ago.
Han Jingchen grew up in a military compound, with guards and nannies at home. He had never done any work before joining the army. He wanted to have his way, but he was more or less submissive and willing to show weakness.
Normally, let alone serving anyone, it is rare for me to move to someone else.
It was only now that his cold, hard and arrogant temper was aroused in front of this delicate and charming woman.
"Want me to pour you another cup?" he asked, frowning.
Looking at Han Jingchen who was serious and solemn, Pei Manning pursed her lips and even wanted to laugh. Then she quickly said, "No, this bottle of water was originally prepared for you."
The water in the kettle was boiled water from the Lingxi River, and she added some jasmine tea in case he tasted something strange.
Han Jingchen was stunned for a moment, looked at her twice, and snorted in his heart, thinking that she still had some conscience.
Although Han Jingchen likes to drink sugary drinks or scented tea, he knows why Pei Manning's scented tea doesn't have that astringent taste. Instead, it has a light fragrance and tastes very good. It makes you feel cool and comfortable all over.
Maybe he is a little too fond of his wife?
He likes Pei Manning, so he even thinks the scented tea she makes is delicious?
After a while, Han Jingchen's hands and face began to itch, as if something had bitten them. He stretched out his hands and saw that they were a little red.
Pei Manning also noticed it, after all, his face was also red, "You...what's wrong with you?"
She was a little confused. She had dealt with all the poisonous flowers, and the rest were non-toxic.
Han Jingchen looked indifferent. Apart from itchy skin, he had no other symptoms: "Allergy."
"Allergy?" Pei Manning had seen this symptom in the Barefoot Doctor's Handbook. "How can it be an allergy?"
"There must be something in the flowers and plants in the yard that can cause allergies." Han Jingshen washed his hands with water in the yard with a flushed face.
When he was digging those flowers just now, he touched some juice with his hand, and wiped the sweat off his face with his hand, probably in contact with his skin.
Fortunately, he dug it, and Pei Manning encountered it. Would he have become like this?
He is a man, so he doesn't care that much about appearance, but it's the same with girls.
Pei Manning was very anxious. Some of the flowers came from the Great Zhou Dynasty and were unfamiliar to people in this world.
She had never encountered such a situation, so she didn't know how to treat Han Jingchen. What if it caused serious consequences?
"What should we do? Should we go to the hospital?" She walked forward, grabbed his hand, and looked at the red spot on it nervously.
Han Jingchen's fingers are long and strong with distinct knuckles, but his palms are rough and a little wrinkled, so the backs of his hands are more noticeably red.
Han Jingchen lowered his head slightly, looking at her with deep black eyes, letting her soft, snow-white little hand grasp his large palm. Seeing her lowering her head in worry and concentration, he inexplicably felt a heat rising in his heart, and his lower jawline suddenly became a little tense. He coughed lightly, "Don't use it, it will soon go away."
When he was practicing parachuting, he would land in the wild and encounter some plants that would make the skin red and itchy, but this was considered mild.
Pei Manning breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that there was no rash on his hands, only a little redness.
It looked like she was poisoned. It was the same reaction as the medicine she had planted before.
At this time, Han Jingchen's face was also red. His domineering aura and usually cold expression looked a bit funny with such a red face.
If we say that Han Jingchen's previous walking hormones were full of wildness.
Now he looks like a serious red-faced Guan Gong.
Although she knew she should, she still wanted to laugh when she saw Han Jingchen like this.
"Very funny?" Han Jingchen raised his eyebrows, revealing a pair of dark and narrow eyes under his thick sword-like eyebrows.
Pei Manning quickly retracted the upturned corners of her mouth and shook her head.
But her pair of watery almond-shaped eyes were dark and shiny, and her long eyelashes were curled and fluttering, as if they were pinching your heart, making you want to pinch her face.
Han Jingchen felt that this woman was seducing him all the time and in all places.
Despite repeated delays, they still had to return to the base before seven o'clock. When Han Jingchen returned to the base, Pei Manning packed two bags for him, all of which were snacks she made, mushroom sauce and various dried fruits.
She bought all the fruits from state-owned fruit shops. The seeds were planted in Xumijie, and the pulp was cut into slices. The sugar solution was made by boiling the stream water and sugar from Xumijie, soaking the pulp for a while, and then drying it into dried fruits. They tasted better than those sold in state-owned shops.
The mushroom sauce contains minced meat, green onions, ginger and garlic, which are sautéed until fragrant, and then added with homemade sauce. The oil on top is bright red, and a spoonful of it goes well with rice.
Han Jingchen helped her so much today, and she was stingy when she packed the bag.
"This one is for you, and this one is for Jiang Xiaozhi. Remember to give it to him."
Pei Manning handed it over to Han Jingchen. Since they had already prepared it, whether it was one sheep or two sheep, they could just prepare an extra portion and let Han Jingchen take it to Jiang Ye.
Han Jingchen frowned, his heart was bubbling with pain, and he narrowed his deep and narrow eyes and stared at her deeply.
He had been digging the ground for an entire afternoon, but he was treated the same as that little Jiang Ye?
"Han Jingchen?" He didn't say anything for a long time. Pei Manning stopped and looked at him with her head tilted.
She tilted her head and tilted her little face slightly upwards, with her shaggy hair drooping softly on her full forehead. Her almond-shaped eyes were charming, obedient and soft.
"Okay." With a stern face, he took the two bags at once and confiscated Jiang Ye's share.
Jiang Ye didn't do anything, what should he eat?
I looked up at the sky and it was already early.
"I'm leaving," Han Jingchen walked to the door and said to Pei Manning.
After nearly two hours, the redness on his hands and face disappeared, and he returned to his usual serious and stern look.
"Okay, be careful on the road." Pei Manning nodded.
In view of Pei Manning's criminal record, Han Jingchen was relieved and said in a deep voice: "Take good care of yourself, pay attention to safety, and don't go to remote places unless necessary."
He looked at Pei Manning, who was standing at the door, with snow-white skin, dark eyes, and delicate red lips. She looked like someone who could be easily bullied. He always felt that she lived alone, so she would be at ease wherever she went.
"..." Pei Manning had heard this many times.
…
Driving back, it was just getting dark and Jiang Ye had just finished taking a shower and returned to the dormitory when he suppressed his curiosity and started gossiping.
"Brother Chen, I heard that you went on a blind date today. Did the chief give you leave?" Jiang Ye looked at Han Jingchen in surprise for several times, trying to see something from him.
So, this expression, is this successful or not?
He had heard that a female military doctor, named Zhi, was transferred from the capital to Nanjing specifically to follow Brother Chen. She was very beautiful and grew up in the same compound as Han Jingchen.
It seems like you were childhood sweethearts?
He has known Han Jingchen for such a long time, how did he know there was such a person?
The quilt on the bed in the dormitory was folded into a tofu block, and the sheets were neatly spread out without a wrinkle. Usually, someone would sit or lie on it when sleeping.
Han Jingchen was silent. He lay on the quilt with wet hair, his hands folded behind his head, and his dark and cold eyes looked at the ceiling.
Now, he just wanted to lie down for a while, sleep there, and sort out his messy thoughts in his own little world.
"Brother Chen, how was the blind date? Why don't you say something?" Jiang Ye saw that he was distracted and felt that he was a little strange today.
Han Jingchen raised his eyes in surprise and glanced at him. He was a little happy that Jiang Ye had disturbed his thoughts: "No."
"Then why did it take you so long to come back? I thought you went to the park." Jiang Ye wondered.
After the blind date, if both parties are interested, they will go to the park together, chat and get to know each other better.
Therefore, young men and women often sit on the benches in the park. There is also a reliable saying that if there are two rows of benches back to back, a man and a woman sitting diagonally are more likely to be successful.
Of course, there is no scientific basis for this, and few people have done statistics, but it is widely circulated.
Since it didn't work out, I will definitely go to the park.
Han Jing was in no mood to talk about these trivial matters. He had more important things to do. He glanced at Jiang Ye and said, "I asked you to do something. Have you done it?"
Jiang Ye pointed to the table and said, "Everything is here."
In fact, there was nothing else to do except looking for Pei Manning's relatives. Before, they had placed an ad in the newspaper, but there was almost no clue. In addition, they were usually very busy with training and missions, so this matter was almost entirely handed over to the police.
However, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the household registration policy changed. It was not until 1949 that it was stipulated that all cities, towns, and villages across the country should establish a household registration system and begin to unify the household registration work across the country.
The Public Security Bureau is having a headache too, as it happened so long ago that the files are hard to find.
They are not supernatural beings. After investigating for half a year, they still did not find any clues.
Logically speaking, as long as six months have passed and the public security department has not found any problems with Pei Zhi, and she has no history of criminal escape and has not entered the country illegally, she should be allowed to settle down.
However, in this way, the police will temporarily put their efforts to help her find her relatives on hold.
It was just that Han Jingchen seemed to want to prove something, so he kept using his connections to help her find people. His childhood friends from the same compound now worked or joined the army in different places, and it was rare for Han Jingchen to ask them for help, so they were all very proactive and sent her the information they had sorted out.
When he was stationed there, he asked Jiang Ye to help get it back.
Han Jingchen threw a net bag of things to Jiang Ye. Jiang Ye took it and opened it to see canned meat and canned fruit. "Brother Chen, why did you give me these things?"
"Pei Manning gave it to you." Han Jingchen said calmly.
He locked the two bags of food Pei Manning gave him in the cabinet. As for Jiang Ye's portion? He wanted to give it to him.
Jiang Ye wondered why Pei Zhi gave him these things that could be bought in department stores. In the past, she always gave him various snacks that she made herself, especially small crispy fish, the taste of which was simply unforgettable.
However, he did not think much about it. After all, he loved Jiang Ye so much that he could imagine that the serious and steady Han Jingchen would be so childish when his possessiveness was aroused. He even wanted to give the things made by Pei Manning to other men.
