It was late afternoon, and a light rain had just fallen, leaving the sky overcast. Han Qiushi brought the soup and meals that Bai Hehua had been preparing all afternoon to the hospital.
Lin Xiaoxiao has no relatives left in Beijing. The only close friend is still hospitalized. Since he is in Beijing, there is no reason for him to let Lin Xiaoxiao eat out.
Another one is that he has been separated from Lin Xiaoxiao for a long time and misses his partner. He also wants to meet her teacher, so wouldn't that count as meeting Lin Xiaoxiao's elder?
Since Su Li is so important to Lin Xiaoxiao, it's crucial to gain Su Li's approval; she'll need to make a good impression.
With these thoughts in mind, Han Qiushi felt a mix of secret joy and trepidation throughout the journey.
Before he knew it, he had arrived at the hospital entrance. He approached the hospital's information desk, asked about Su Li's ward, and was about to walk towards the ward when he saw a familiar figure.
The next second, his expression froze, and his eyes immediately darkened.
Directly in front of him, Lin Xiaoxiao was chatting side by side with a very handsome male doctor...
As Lin Xiaoxiao and Chen Kang went downstairs, they talked about their illnesses and some hospital matters, maintaining a comfortable distance between them.
When they were almost on the first floor, Lin Xiaoxiao and Chen Kang decided to part ways.
The next second, Lin Xiaoxiao's wrist was gripped by a warm sensation, the grip tightening and becoming increasingly firm.
Lin Xiaoxiao looked up in surprise and saw Han Qiushi with a restrained and gentle expression.
Han Qiushi had a smile on his face, but his eyes were unusually cold, a side that Lin Xiaoxiao rarely saw. He looked even more intimidating than he had on the train, cold and stern... like a king in the forest whose territory had been invaded, displaying his most oppressive posture to make the intruders feel threatened.
Lin Xiaoxiao blinked, took a step back with amusement, and looked at Chen Kang.
He was stunned by Han Qiushi's cold and stern appearance, and only after realizing what was happening did he compose himself.
Seeing this, Lin Xiaoxiao lowered her head and pressed down on the corners of her mouth before feigning surprise and asking, "Why are you here?"
Lin Xiaoxiao's gentle voice broke the slightly awkward atmosphere.
"Mom asked me to bring the soup over, and also to keep the teacher company with you." Han Qiushi turned to look at Lin Xiaoxiao, his expression softening. He then reached out to tuck a strand of hair behind Lin Xiaoxiao's ear, as if just realizing something, and asked, "By the way, who is this?"
Lin Xiaoxiao smiled at Chen Kang and said, "Dr. Chen, this is my boyfriend. He brought the food over, so I won't go to the state-run restaurant with him. Thank you for your help tomorrow, teacher."
Lin Xiaoxiao spoke politely, but her intention to keep her distance was quite clear.
Chen Kang was a smart man. He could tell from Han Qiushi's expression and actions that the tall, handsome man and Lin Xiaoxiao had an unusual relationship. In the end, he also understood the implication in Lin Xiaoxiao's words. He quickly said goodbye to them and left.
Chen Kang walked forward with a slight sense of disappointment. Only Lin Xiaoxiao and Han Qiushi remained in this place.
Lin Xiaoxiao felt like her wrists were being burned by someone's high temperature. She stared at Han Qiushi's slightly tense profile and said with a laugh, "You've squeezed my hand so hard it hurts."
Upon hearing this, Han Qiushi turned around and immediately let go of her hand. He hurriedly asked if it hurt, while looking at Lin Xiaoxiao's face. For some reason, his heart felt empty, making him a little flustered, afraid that he would not be able to hide his dark thoughts.
Seeing Chen Kang and Lin Xiaoxiao standing together gave him an unprecedented sense of crisis.
In Wangjia Village, things were alright. Even the most outstanding young people and educated youth had their good looks and pride worn away by years of hard labor, so there was no need to worry about these people's admiration for Lin Xiaoxiao.
But the capital city is different. All sorts of outstanding and handsome men will find it hard to look away from a girl like Lin Xiaoxiao, who has an excellent appearance and unique temperament.
Just like that doctor, the way he looked at Xiaoxiao wasn't innocent.
Men are most sensitive when they look at other men; they know the other man's nature best.
Although Xiaoxiao did a good job, there were too many wolves in the capital. No, I still have to get Xiaoxiao into my family as soon as possible. After we get together, she can go with the army, and then I won't be so worried.
"Does it still hurt? I'll rub it for you once we've put your things down in the ward."
"I haven't seen you for half a day, and I'm so excited to see you. You won't blame me, will you?" Han Qiushi said softly with a guilty expression.
"No...it doesn't hurt anymore, let's go back to the ward." Lin Xiaoxiao said this and took the lead in walking upstairs. Looking at Han Qiushi again, she couldn't help but laugh.
She never expected that Han Qiushi would perform tea ceremony for her; she had no experience in this area and was completely overwhelmed.
I couldn't catch it, so I had to run.
Lin Xiaoxiao walked ahead, while Han Qiushi followed behind, carrying two lunch boxes and a soup box.
Su Li was lying on the bed talking to the person next to her when she saw Lin Xiaoxiao and vaguely heard a man's voice calling Lin Xiaoxiao's name.
"Xiaoxiao, is someone calling you?"
"Yes, the person who brought us food is here." Lin Xiaoxiao said, moving the stool aside and pointing to the door. "It's my boyfriend. His family lives in Beijing. He came back with me. He heard you were hospitalized, so he brought some food he cooked at home."
"Really?" Su Li looked curiously towards the door after hearing this. She looked for a couple of seconds and was about to ask someone when she saw a tall, handsome figure carrying something coming in.
"Hello, Auntie, my name is Han Qiushi." Han Qiushi greeted Su Li as soon as he saw her.
Su Li couldn't help but take a few glances at Han Qiushi. His appearance and temperament were truly impeccable, even more outstanding than she had imagined. Su Li smiled and said, "Hello, Xiao Xiao. I've heard Xiao Xiao mention you before. I'm sorry to trouble you to take care of Xiao Xiao this time."
"Auntie, this is what I should do."
As Han Qiushi spoke, he handed the things in his hand to Lin Xiaoxiao and started talking to Su Li, "Auntie, we've made some soup at home. You and Xiaoxiao can have some together."
Su Li kept saying thank you and thanking her for her trouble.
Watching Lin Xiaoxiao pour out the duck soup from the thermos, the soup was steaming hot, the broth was stewed to a golden color, and Lin Xiaoxiao divided the soup into two portions.
"Teacher, this duck soup smells especially good, you can drink more."
He opened the lunchbox, revealing two boxes of rice and one box full of vegetables, including greens, meat, and a scrambled egg. It was a very good meal.
"Xiao Han, you've gone to so much trouble." Su Li's impression of Han Qiushi improved even more when she saw the good food, and she was also happy for Lin Xiaoxiao. "You two must have a lot to talk about. I can eat by myself, you don't need to take care of me."
"good."
