Chen Suying raised her hand and pointed in the direction the two had just left.
Actually, Zhou Shi took four popsicles herself, two in each hand, and Liu Xiaolan didn't stop her. Instead, she happily paid for them, which made Liu Xiaolan feel something was wrong.
Liu Xiaolan, being a doctor, clearly knew better than someone like her who knew nothing about medicine that eating too much cold food was not only bad for the stomach, but also particularly unfriendly to girls.
Upon hearing that there would be four popsicles, Zhang Tong's face immediately darkened.
really.
She still overestimated Liu Xiaolan.
She subtly expressed her displeasure the day they ate dumplings. She knew the other person picked up on it and thought they would back down, but unexpectedly…
There was no time to think, so she quickly ran in the direction Chen Suying pointed.
After walking for a few minutes, we realized that this was a path leading to the camp.
What was she doing taking Shishi to the camp?
When the two figures were spotted, they had already passed through the gate and were about to go inside.
At a glance, it's easy to see the silly girl's overjoyed expression.
She sold her out with just four popsicles and was laughing so happily, which made Zhang Tong both angry and amused.
I don't know if it was because the weather was too hot and the popsicles melted quickly, or if the silly girl ate them too fast, but half of the four popsicles were gone.
"Shishi!" she called out loudly, and ran over.
Hearing the familiar voice, Zhou Shi grinned and turned around, excitedly raising the popsicle in her hand.
"Egg, Corpse is eating popsicles! Look, there are so many!"
As she spoke, she ran towards Zhang Tong, completely ignoring Liu Xiaolan's frozen figure, as if he had never existed.
Liu Xiaolan, the invisible man, quickly realized what was happening and smiled as she walked back.
As she approached the two women, she smiled and said, "Auntie, what brings you here?"
She took the initiative to explain why she was with Zhou Shi.
“My sister-in-law went to the service center with Professor Shen’s two grandsons just now. I happened to run into her when I went to buy something. I saw that she wanted to eat an ice pop, so I bought it for her.”
“I was thinking of going to the infirmary to get something before taking my sister-in-law back, but I didn’t expect my aunt to come looking for me.”
She was still as elegant and poised as ever, just like always, but Zhang Tong found it particularly fake. Her smile seemed forced and artificial, as if it were squeezed out.
Is this why the filter broke?
Or was I just blind before?
As far as she knew, Liu Xiaolan was still on vacation and didn't seem to be in a hurry.
The Xiao family home is closer to the infirmary. If someone else encountered a child who didn't know the way on the street, they should take the child home first.
After being taken to the infirmary and returning, Zhou Shi had already finished all four popsicles.
What are their intentions?
"You're a doctor, don't you know that girls shouldn't eat too much cold food? Xiaolan, you've disappointed me so much."
Zhang Tong doesn't like to hide things; he speaks his mind directly.
She was referring to the popsicle incident, but at the same time, she was also implying that Liu Xiaolan should no longer harbor feelings for Xie Lin.
Military marriages are protected, and Liu Xiaolan, as a soldier, knows this better than anyone else. Yet, she still dared to try to take advantage of Zhou Shi's body, which was absolutely intolerable to her.
Without waiting for Yang Xiaolan's frozen expression, he snatched the popsicles from Zhou Shi's hands, leaving only one for her.
Seeing the little boy's face fall and his gesture as if to snatch it back, she quickly comforted him.
"Shishi, don't you remember? Your aunt told you that you can only eat one popsicle a day at most. Look at how many you've eaten, what if your stomach hurts?"
"We're going to Aunt Yao's house later to eat seafood noodles and sour fish soup. If you have a stomachache, you won't be able to eat anything, so you can't have any popsicles."
To stop her from thinking about the popsicle, Zhang Tong quickly ate the remaining half of the popsicle.
Because she couldn't bear to throw it away, she ended up shivering from the cold, which made her dislike Liu Xiaolan even more.
The intention is so obvious that even a fool could figure it out.
Well, the little girl really doesn't understand; she thinks the other person meant well.
When they were eating dumplings, Liu Xiaolan was completely invisible, but now she's willing to go to the camp with them. It's clear that four popsicles easily won her heart.
This kid is so easy to fool.
Shishi looked at the three bare sticks and felt extremely aggrieved.
Afraid that the only one would be snatched away, he quickly stuffed it into his mouth and ate it all in a few crunches.
"Hey, eat slowly, slow down, I won't take this."
Seeing that Zhang Tong was truly angry, Liu Xiaolan panicked.
"Auntie, I really didn't mean to. I saw that my sister-in-law wanted to eat it, but she didn't have the money to buy it, so I bought it for her."
“She grabbed four sticks at once. I tried to persuade her to put them down, but she wouldn’t. I couldn’t force her.”
Does Zhang Tong believe it?
She believed Zhou Shi when she said she took four sticks herself.
The little furball doesn't understand anything; she only knows that if she can take this much, she can eat this much.
But she didn't believe Liu Xiaolan.
If they really didn't want to buy so much, why didn't they have a reason to refuse?
According to Xie Lin, Zhou Shi had a business sense; she knew that buying things required money or coupons.
If Liu Xiaolan says it's not enough money, given Zhou Shi's personality, she won't take anything for which she hasn't paid.
Just like eating, she only eats her own portion.
She knew better than anyone how well-behaved the child was.
Once Zhang Tong has a grudge against someone, even if it's true, he will still harbor doubts in his heart.
Moreover, Chen Suying just said that Liu Xiaolan paid with a smile and did not seem unhappy.
Although popsicles are not expensive, one costs only 3 cents, and four cost only 12 cents.
For military doctors who receive substantial allowances, this amount of money is just a drop in the ocean.
But that's not a reason for her to buy four popsicles for a naive girl.
Most importantly, she and Zhou Shi were not close enough for her to spend money on each other.
On the contrary, because of Xie Lin, the two can be said to be in an adversarial relationship.
After two years of getting along, she really didn't want to think too badly of the girl, since they had actually gotten along quite well before.
However, the reality disappointed her.
Ever since she conceived the idea of adopting Zhou Shi as her goddaughter, she has refused to allow anyone to harm Zhou Shi's physical or mental well-being for any reason.
Whether it was intentional or unintentional.
And the fact that Liu Xiaolan's body suddenly froze when she called out to Zhou Shi was the best proof that she did it intentionally.
She said calmly, "No matter what Shishi asks for in the future, don't buy her any food. Xie Lin and I will take good care of her."
"I'll take her back first, you go and do your work."
After saying that, he took Zhou Shi's hand and left, ignoring Liu Xiaolan's expression.
At this moment, the last vestiges of affection he had for Liu Xiaolan vanished completely.
Liu Xiaolan stared intently at the two figures as they walked away, her face gradually darkening, her eyes filled with resentment, and her fists clenching involuntarily.
Zhang Tong, you've only known Zhou Shi for a short time, yet you've already surpassed the two-year relationship I've had with you.
I've tried to please you for the past two years, catering to your tastes without any limits. How could you treat me like this?
What's wrong with eating a popsicle?
She's an idiot, she shouldn't be here at all. So what if she gets sick from the cold? Does she deserve your attitude?
