Chapter 20 I Just Feel Hot
Huo Tingxiao turned around and walked towards the bathroom.
I saw Shen Qingran leaning against the wall.
Because of the bad light, he couldn't see her expression clearly, but he could feel her pain.
Soldiers are very sensitive to the smell of blood and can smell the faint scent of blood in the air.
Huo Tingxiao pursed his lips into a straight line.
After hesitating for a few seconds, he asked in a low voice: "Are you hurt?"
I reached out to turn on the light, but found that it was not on.
It seems that there was thunder and the power circuit breaker tripped.
Shen Qingran turned to look at Huo Tingxiao at the door, and pulled her lips nonchalantly, "It's okay, just a small problem. Sorry to disturb your sleep. Do you want to use the toilet? I'll let you."
As he spoke, Shen Qingran picked up the towel on the washbasin rack, wrapped his hands around it, and walked outside.
But the way to the door was blocked by Huo Tingxiao.
On a dark rainy night, any sound except the sound of rain would be amplified.
Shen Qingran could even feel his breathing, which was short and steady, indicating that he was emotionally stable.
"Can you move aside for a moment?"
Huo Tingxiao's eyebrows and eyes were stained with dark light as he looked at her hands wrapped in a towel.
After a moment, he turned sideways to let her pass.
The moment the soft body passed by, a familiar fragrance penetrated his nose.
It made him shudder slightly.
Turning around and looking at the closed door, Huo Tingxiao's face sank slightly.
I listened to the thunder outside gradually disappearing and the rain slowly subsiding.
Huo Tingxiao walked towards the circuit breaker outside with an umbrella.
It was indeed thunder.
Push the switch on.
Looking at the light in Shen Qingran's room.
Huo Tingxiao was stunned.
Shen Qingran fell asleep with her head tilted against the window, her eyebrows slightly twisted together, and her cherry-like mouth unconsciously opened slightly.
The white dress was mottled with red, as if it was dried blood.
He was holding a washbasin in his hand, resting it under the window gap.
There is already half a basin of rain water in it.
Perhaps it was because of the brighter light. Shen Qingran, who was originally dazed, frowned slightly. There was a hint of discomfort on his face. He twisted his body and muttered something.
"Did you call?"
Shen Qingran didn't pay attention to what was happening outside.
He stretched lazily, put down the double happiness basin in his hand, and closed the curtains.
Huo Tingxiao withdrew his gaze, turned around and walked into the house.
He took out a sterile cotton swab and ointment from the drawer and knocked on her door.
"Boom boom boom"
Shen Qingran, who was treating his wound, was startled. He put on his shoes and opened the door a crack.
A ray of light shone through the crack in the door onto Huo Tingxiao's face, making his already deep-boned facial features even more three-dimensional.
It makes people want to take a second look.
"Captain Huo, is there something wrong?"
Huo Tingxiao handed the thing in his hand over expressionlessly, "Take it."
Shen Qingran looked down at the disinfectant in his hand, was stunned for two seconds, and then took it.
The soft voice with a soft ending, "Thank you, Captain Huo."
"Need not."
Looking at the man's still indifferent back, Shen Qingran curled the corners of her lips.
——
The next morning, when Shen Qingran got up, Huo Tingxiao was no longer at home.
She went out to buy some medicinal herbs to nourish the old man.
Yesterday, Qin Xiangbei slipped a thank-you letter and two hundred yuan for her medical expenses through the crack of the door.
If you take money from someone, you naturally have to do things for them.
Today, in addition to shopping, she also wants to see if there is any way to get a set of silver needles to help the old man regulate his qi.
Perhaps it was after what happened with Zhao Cuifang that the leaders conducted public education.
Now, she was much better when she went out than before, and no one would look at her strangely.
But she couldn't do anything about what the crickets said behind her back.
She had a coconut a few days ago, so today she bought an old hen and made some white peony and coconut chicken soup.
After buying the ingredients, Shen Qingran walked towards the herbal medicine store.
Unfortunately, they didn't have silver needles, but they did tell her that there was a store in the city that had some and asked her to go there and have a look.
Shen Qingran wrote down the address and name of the store and left the shop.
As soon as I went out, I saw Lu Jiajia standing with a group of people wearing military green performance uniforms.
Looks very familiar.
"Jia Jia, is that Captain Huo's wife? She's pretty good-looking!"
Lu Jiajia is one of the most beautiful women and has always been proud of her beauty.
I couldn’t recover from the shock of Shen Qingran’s face last time for several days, and even began to doubt myself.
I finally adjusted my mindset during this period of time.
Looking at Shen Qingran's stunningly beautiful face again, she couldn't help but feel jealous.
Lu Jiajia's companion couldn't help but hold her stinky feet and said, "What's so good about it? Can it be as good as our Jiajia?"
"That's right. Jia Jia is a great singer and dancer. Everyone knows that Jia Jia will be the mainstay of the art troupe in the future!"
After listening to this, Shen Qingran didn't want to waste any more time with these girls.
Turn around and leave.
But he heard Lu Jiajia's raised voice behind him, "Comrade Shen Qingran!"
Shen Qingran turned around and saw Lu Jiajia striding over with several people.
He smiled and said, "Hello, Comrade Lu."
Looking at her calm eyes, Lu Jiajia was actually very affectionate.
“Comrade Shen, didn’t I invite you and Brother Tingxiao to watch my recruitment performance last time? It will be tomorrow at noon. Don’t forget. I’ll save seats for you.”
Shen Qingran smiled slightly, "Okay, I'll go back and tell him!"
"Anything else?"
Lu Jiajia didn't expect Shen Qingran to be so stubborn and shook her head blankly.
"Then I'll go back first, Comrade Lu."
Knocking her she turned and left.
A round-faced girl next to her rolled her eyes and said, "Why is she so arrogant? Look at her like that. She really thinks she's so great just because she's the wife of the regiment leader."
Lu Jiajia glanced sideways at the woman who was speaking, and soon she realized that she was worthy of this identity.
Shen Qingran didn't take this matter to heart.
After returning home, I went to Qin Dahai's house with my things.
When I got there, I saw Qin Dahai sitting in a rocking chair listening to the radio.
There was a mess under the rocking chair, full of bones.
The big black curly-haired dog lying on its stomach was struggling with the bones.
This life is really enviable.
"Grandpa Qin, your stomach is not in good condition, don't eat too much greasy food."
Old Master Qin happily kicked the big dog next to him and said, "I told you to eat faster. Look, you've been discovered!"
The big black curly-haired dog was not angry. Instead, it rubbed Shen Qingran's calf as a gesture of friendship, which made her lose her temper.
"Okay, next time don't commit a crime with Grandpa Qin, and I'll cook the big bones for you alone."
The big black dog was even happier now, and wagged its tail even more happily.
Qin Dahai was so angry that he kicked him.
"Greedy things."
Shen Qingran's eyes narrowed with laughter.
"Grandpa Qin, drink the soup normally today. I will go to the city tomorrow and buy a pair of silver needles to give you acupuncture."
Hearing her say that she was going to the city, Qin Dahai sat up and asked, "I'll go with you?"
Shen Qingran casually replied, "No, I can't accompany you. I have to find a job."
"Looking for a job?"
Qin Dahai glanced at her and said, "Why? Huo boy doesn't want to give you money?"
Shen Qingran replied calmly, "It's better to have a job."
Qin Dahai nodded.
Under the warm summer sun, an old man, a young boy and a dog enjoy a peaceful and quiet life.
After Shen Qingran finished her work here, she saw Qin Dahai fell asleep, covered him with a small blanket, and went back.
As soon as I entered the room, I saw Huo Tingxiao carrying a wooden board and holding a hammer, knocking on his window.
The muscles on the arms are arched due to the force, and the strong muscles are just the right strength and beauty.
Is he fixing his own window?
Huo Tingxiao turned around and said in a deep voice, "Help me hold this."
Shen Qingran was stunned for a moment, then quickly walked over.
"Oh, okay."
She quickly reached out and pressed the small piece of wood, feeling the heat coming from the tall figure behind her.
Shen Qingran's whole body stiffened, and she moved closer to the inside, trying to avoid touching him.
Huo Tingxiao glanced at her unnatural look and said coldly.
“Don’t overthink it.”
Shen Qingran smiled when she heard this, "Captain Huo, I just feel it's too hot."
When Huo Tingxiao heard this, his movements visibly froze.
The sound of tinkling bells rang out in the small courtyard in the evening.
"Oh, by the way, I met Comrade Lu Jiajia today and invited you to watch the performance."
