Chapter 85 Huo Jingchen is drunk
Jiang Ling touched Li Jiajia's shoulder and said, "Let's talk about these things in private. You are embarrassing both Sister Xia Mi and Captain Huo by saying this."
"What's the big deal? Our superiors ordered us to release this thing. Why should I be ashamed?" Li Jiajia was still nonchalant and didn't think there was anything strange about it.
"Jia Jia, eat your vegetables." Fan Chunhua couldn't stand it anymore and hinted to Li Jia Jia to talk less.
Seeing that no one was happy to hear this, Li Jiajia never mentioned it again.
After dinner, Xia Mi was called to rest. Huo Jingchen wanted to go and help, and the birthday girl was also left in the house to rest. The rest of the things could be left to them.
Xia Mi sat in the room, not knowing what to do, and prepared to light a fire to boil water for bath.
Huo Jingchen reached out and held her hand. His smooth and delicate arms were slightly cool. "It's getting colder at night. Why don't you wear more clothes?"
"I smell like cooking fumes. I'll take a shower soon. It's okay."
Huo Jingchen pulled Xia Mi to sit next to him.
Huo Jingchen smelled the usual fragrance on her body, mixed with a faint smell of oil smoke, which was not greasy at all.
"Why didn't you tell me about your birthday in advance? Luckily Daqiang came today, otherwise it would have been gone."
There was a hint of resentment in Xia Mi's watery eyes, but there was no trace of blame in her tone.
“I didn’t celebrate my birthday very often before.”
Huo Jingchen held Xia Mi's hand. The feel was so delicate that it felt like he was playing with smooth mutton-fat jade, yet much softer than jade.
"Don't worry, I won't make do with your birthday in the future. If you forget, I'll remind you."
This feeling of being cared for is wonderful, like the sunshine shining on your body in winter, warm and comfortable from the outside to the inside. It is different from the care of family members, and there is a hint of sweetness in my heart.
"You really don't follow the routine."
Xia Mi raised her lips and smiled, thinking that he would say that he would not need to do it again in the future.
"By the way, your aunt's whereabouts have been found. I asked someone to investigate and found out that your aunt is in the third production team of Huaihua Commune, which is also Shi Daqiang's hometown."
Xia Mi exclaimed, "What a coincidence?"
"Well, I have said hello to Shi Daqiang. He said his father is the leader of the production team. He has also written a letter to say hello. If you want to see your aunt, I will take a leave to accompany you after I am done with this busy period."
Xia Mi didn't expect to get news so soon, and it would be too abrupt to meet him suddenly.
The original owner's aunt was very concerned about her face and appearance. If someone suddenly saw her in a miserable state.
This is something no one wants to see.
Moreover, the original owner's aunt hated the original owner's father. I don't know if this hatred was taken out on others.
"Just give me an address. I want to contact my aunt by letter first. Once I know her situation, I will go and meet her."
Huo Jingchen nodded. Seeing that her originally tired eyes were now full of cleanliness and brightness, he felt that it was all worth it.
After packing up most of the things, everyone said goodbye and went home.
When Shi Daqiang was about to leave, Xia Mi stopped him.
"Thank you, Daqiang. I brought these from my hometown. I just heard from Jingchen that you helped my aunt. I didn't know what to say for a moment. If you don't mind, just keep them."
In Xia Mi's hand was a can of malted milk and two bottles of medicinal wine for bruises and sprains.
This should be all he needs.
Seeing that the item was valuable, Shi Daqiang evaded the question and said, "Sister-in-law, this item is too valuable. I can't take it. You should keep it for Captain Huo."
"There are still some extra at home, just take them. Besides, my aunt is at your house and will need your help in the future. These things are insignificant compared to the help you provide."
Xia Mi had to take some effort to get people to accept it.
When Shi Daqiang was about to leave, Xia Mi remembered something and turned to the kitchen to get out a bag of peach cakes.
"This is extra, to thank you for helping me light the fire and buy groceries today."
While cooking, Xia Mi chatted with Shi Daqiang. Hearing that he liked sweet food, Xia Mi remembered that there was a bag of peach cakes at home that had not been eaten.
"I won't talk to you anymore. It will be dark soon and it will be inconvenient for you to go back."
Xia Mi gave the things and 'drove' him away, urging him to hurry up, worried that Shi Daqiang would say a lot of words of thanks like he did just now.
Shi Daqiang understood Xia Mi's feelings. Holding the thing in his arms, he felt as sweet as if his heart was filled with honey.
Xia Mi locked the door and started thinking about buying something for her aunt and sending it to her first.
"The person has left?"
Huo Jingchen spoke in a low, hoarse voice, his eyes were sleepy.
Tonight, the men's table was drinking. Huo Jingchen had no way of pretending and was forced to drink several bottles of white wine. He fell asleep before he even finished drinking.
Xia Mi returned to the house, "Does your head still hurt? There is some honey water I made for you on the table. Drink it while it's hot."
Huo Jingchen picked up the honey water, drank it all in one gulp, and wiped the water from the corners of his mouth with his fingertips.
"I've almost finished my school affairs. I want to send a letter and some things to my aunt first, and then arrange a time to visit her. What do you think?"
Huo Jingchen rubbed his swollen temples and had no objection to Xia Mi's plan.
"Yes, it's well arranged, so people can be prepared."
That's what Xia Mi meant. She smiled and sat on the sofa, patting her thigh, "Lie down, I'll give you a massage."
Since leaving the room, Huo Jingchen has been pressing his temples frequently. Xia Mi guessed that he must be feeling uncomfortable.
"You also know how to give massages?"
Huo Jingchen sat down obediently and rested his head on her legs.
"I learned a little bit before, but I haven't used it for a long time, so I'm not sure how much I still remember."
In her previous life, Xia Mi often gave massages to her grandmother at home. She learned everything from head to toe. Her cousin even joked with her that after she stopped being a doctor, she could become a masseur.
Huo Jingchen closed his eyes and said, "I like it even if you press me randomly."
Xia Mi curled the corners of her mouth, found the acupoint, and began to rub it with her fingertips.
The person underneath him groaned, "Why are you so strong all of a sudden?"
"It's always like this, stop talking." Xia Mi increased her strength and carefully observed Huo Jingchen's facial expression. He almost lost control of his expression because of the pain.
Huo Jingchen had no words to express his grievances. He could not easily stop or say no to his wife's kindness. - The next day, when Huo Jingchen opened his eyes again, it was already light outside.
The sounds of roosters crowing and wake-up calls kept Xia Mi awake, so she turned over and opened her eyes. Their eyes met in the air.
"Why am I in bed?"
"You drank too much last night. I massaged you for a while, but you fell asleep. I couldn't wake you up, so I could only help you to your room to rest."
After saying that, Xia Mi covered her mouth and yawned, then lifted the quilt and got out of bed.
"There's some kelp soup left over from last night. How about using it to eat this morning?"
Only then did Huo Jingchen realize that the hangover headache he had in the past did not exist at all today.
Most of it was thanks to Xia Mi’s massage.
The weather is hot, and Xia Mi has changed from her long-sleeved pajamas to a suspender nightgown. The skirt is fitted at the waist, perfectly outlining her figure.
She took her clothes and prepared to go to the bathroom in the house to change.
Watching people leave, Huo Jingchen sat up, feeling a little regretful that he failed to make good use of such a good day yesterday.
He made a sound of annoyance.
