Chapter 128 Keep Calm

Last night, Jiang Nianzi used the excuse of going to the restroom and never went back to find Shen Cheng.

Until this morning, she came to Shen Cheng's ward.

The hospital has a lounge, and Jiang Nianzhi is currently living in the lounge.

After getting up and washing up in the morning, Jiang Nianzi applied whitening cream, looked at her shy self with beautiful eyes in the mirror, and raised her hands to pat her face.

Didn’t I just lose control last night and kissed Shen Cheng?

What's the big deal? They are in a relationship now.

Prepared herself mentally, Jiang Nianzi strode towards Shen Cheng's ward. On the way, she met several nurses, who greeted her warmly.

"Doctor Jiang is back."

The news that Jiang Nianzi would serve as the chief physician of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine had already spread privately, and her return this time was the best signal.

Jiang Nianzi responded to them with a smile.

There used to be a talented beauty in the military hospital, her name was Xu Jinjin, but Xu Jinjin was a graduate of a prestigious clinical medical university.

Jiang Nianzi has nothing. Now people only hear that she was once the apprentice of a famous Chinese medicine doctor in the regional hospital. As for her ability, it is still unknown.

After Jiang Nianzi walked away, the young nurses gathered together and whispered.

"Do you think Dr. Jiang, who is so young, will be squeezed out if he becomes the chief physician right after he arrives?"

"Need I say this? Even Dr. Liu, who has never seen the pediatric department, has an opinion, not to mention the Chinese medicine department. But the Chinese medicine department is really patient. So far, no one has discussed it privately."

"Shut up, doctors' affairs are not for us to discuss."

"That's not right. What's wrong with us discussing it in private? We're not going to offend anyone."

"That's right... Then do you think Dr. Jiang will be harassed by the people in the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine?"

Jiang Nianzi was not aware of the discussion of the young nurses. At this moment, she was standing at the door of Shen Cheng's ward.

After calming down, Jiang Nianzi raised her hand and knocked on the door.

"Come in."

The deep male voice at this moment revealed a sense of alienation and an indescribable coldness.

Jiang Nianzi was stunned for a moment. Was this the tone Shen Cheng used when talking to others?

She stretched out her hand to push the door open and coughed softly: "It's me."

Shen Cheng was lying on the bed. Hearing this, he glanced at her sideways. The man who had just woken up in the early morning had a hint of laziness and fatigue in his expression.

Seeing that it was her, his eyes lit up: "Doctor Jiang..."

Jiang Nianzi stopped and sat down beside his bed.

"Lift up your trouser legs so I can see your legs."

Shen Cheng obediently sat up from the bed and pulled up his trouser legs.

Jiang Nianzi was about to take action when she suddenly felt Shen Cheng approaching her.

She remained motionless and calm.

"Doctor Jiang... No, Zizi, you agreed to be my partner yesterday, right?"

The low, flirting tone was full of a hint of breath, and was particularly lingering, as if it could draw a thread.

Jiang Nianzi's ears felt hot after listening to this. She found that Shen Cheng was quite good at flirting.

After a light cough, Jiang Nianzi said, "To be exact, I agreed to be with you years ago, but you didn't understand."

She raised her eyes and glanced at him, and found that Shen Cheng's eyes were looking at her with excessive passion.

Jiang Nianzi raised her hand and covered his face: "Don't look at me like that."

This was Shen Cheng's first time dating a girl, and it was a girl he liked in every way.

The calmness that one usually has is gone long ago.

Hearing her say that, he thought he had embarrassed her.

"Sorry..." Shen Cheng retracted his gaze, gently placed his big hand on the back of her hand, took her hand and held it.

He just held it and didn't let go. His gaze narrowed for a moment, then quickly became scorching again, as if it could pierce through Jiang Nianzi.

Jiang Nianzi couldn't stand it anymore and asked him, "Do you have something to tell me?"

Shen Cheng had something to say to her, but at this moment, he felt that those words would spoil the mood.

But he didn't want to hide those words.

Seeing his hesitation, Jiang Nianzi said helplessly: "Just say what you want to say. I don't like beating around the bush."

"Well... I said it."

Shen Cheng was not a person who liked to beat around the bush. He was always decisive and resolute, except when facing her. He couldn't be so decisive.

"Zizi...you know I'm a soldier. Before I pursued you, I just blindly thought that I couldn't miss the girl I liked. I had expectations, but I never thought that you would really agree to my pursuit."

To Shen Cheng, this was as beautiful as a dream.

It was so beautiful that he didn't want to wake up and wanted to keep dreaming.

After the excitement last night, he thought a lot and suddenly thought of the hard work of military wives.

Jiang Nianzi roughly knew what he was going to say.

Seeing the anxiety and worry in his eyes, I said softly, "Go on, I'm listening."

Shen Cheng straightened his face and continued to hold her soft fingers.

"I am a soldier, which means I am responsible for the safety of the people and the mission of protecting the country. Wherever there is danger, there is a mission. Once I receive a military order, no matter where I am or what the situation is, I must execute it immediately."

"If you're with me, I may not be able to protect you all the time like others. Maybe you get sick, maybe you give birth, maybe you get injured, I won't be able to be by your side the first time..."

The more he spoke, the lower his tone became. His confidence suddenly became lacking.

Because at this point, he felt that he shouldn't be so impulsive as to pursue such a good girl like her.

She is strong and beautiful, yet delicate and gentle. She should find someone who can always stay by her side, protect her and accompany her.

Shen Cheng wanted to tell her that he would do everything he could to be good to her.

But if he can't even do these, how can he be worthy of being good to her?

Jiang Nianzi was waiting for him to continue speaking, but suddenly she felt his voice getting lower and lower. She looked up and saw that he suddenly lowered his head with a lost look, and her heart softened.

"Do you know why I like you?"

Jiang Nianzi raised her hand to ruffle his hair and pinch his earlobe.

Shen Cheng shook his head in confusion.

Jiang Nianzi said: "Raise your head, I want to look at you and talk."

Shen Cheng looked up at her as he was told.

Her almond-shaped eyes were bright and gentle, yet revealing clarity and determination.

Jiang Nianzi said: "I should have told you that I have always admired soldiers. I like you. I can't point to a specific feature, but I can say there are many things that attract me."

"I like the way you look in your green military uniform. In my eyes, you are always different from others and you shine. Do you understand?"

Shen Cheng shook his head in confusion.

So she likes military men?

Jiang Nianzi continued, "I like the way you bravely saved people, and I like the way you confessed to me that, apart from the country, the rest of your life will be controlled by me."

"I envy the glory that comes with your military uniform, the straight posture you stand when you salute me, and the way you look at me with only my eyes..."
