When Du Yunying returned to the living room, there were two bowls of plain noodles on the dining table.
She pulled out a chair and sat down, looking at Su Ying in disbelief. "Is this what we're having for breakfast?"
Su Ying shrugged. "What else?"
"Don't be so picky. It's good enough that there's anything to eat. You have no idea how hard it is to cook rice, and this noodle dish is..."
The noodles were actually prepared by Gu Sinian and kept in her space, fearing that she might get hungry late at night and there wouldn't be enough time to make noodles, so she had to prepare them in advance.
She can eat whenever she wants.
Gu Sinian did indeed take good care of her.
She clearly already knew how to cook, but for some reason, even though the steps were exactly the same, she still failed...
"Slim or what... what were you trying to say?"
"It's nothing. If you don't want to eat, you can go to the cafeteria for breakfast."
Du Yunying recalled the large pot meals in the canteen, which were not very oily, but could fill her stomach and were not exactly delicious.
It's better to eat the noodles my daughter cooks.
"What the hell did you cook? It had a slight fish soup flavor at first, but the more it cooked, the worse it smelled—worse than shit! How did you manage that?"
Su Ying explained her methods one by one. After all, an outsider's perspective is often clearer, and others might be able to analyze the problems that she couldn't figure out.
Don't you kill the fish before cooking it?
Su Ying looked completely bewildered. "Why kill the fish? I saw Gu Sinian put the whole fish into the pot to cook when he made fish soup. I learned those methods from him, and now that I've failed to cook it, it must be related to Gu Sinian's teaching."
"Are you sure your son-in-law didn't clean the fish innards properly before cooking the fish soup?"
Su Ying stroked her chin, pondering the meeting. "Is there such a thing? I don't think so."
"Yes, it definitely exists. You just didn't see it. You have hemophobia, how could a good son-in-law dare to kill a fish in front of you?"
Is that so?
"Of course."
Du Yunying recalled the disgusting taste from earlier and now had absolutely no appetite.
I can't eat noodles anymore.
"I'm going home now."
Su Ying frowned and pointed to the extra noodles on the table. "Aren't you going to eat the noodles?"
"I'm not eating anymore. I have no appetite. I'll go home and find some snacks to fill my stomach. Don't worry about my lunch this afternoon, I'll eat at the cafeteria."
Take it or leave it.
Is her cooking really that bad?
Seriously.
No sooner had Du Yunying left than Su Ying put the bowl of noodles into her spatial storage, waiting for Gu Sinian to return so he could taste her cooking.
Gu Sinian didn't return the next day; instead, they received news that he was injured and unconscious.
Su Ying almost lost her balance and staggered backward, but Liu Xiaoliu quickly helped her up.
"Madam Regiment Commander, what are you doing? The commander sent me back to inform you of the news and ask you to go to the military hospital. If you collapse, how am I supposed to explain this to the commander and regimental commander?"
Su Ying grabbed Liu Xiaoliu's collar tightly, "Take me to see him."
"Alright, alright. I promise to take you to see him. You need to take good care of yourself now and not get anxious or stressed, or the commander will definitely hold me accountable."
Su Ying took several deep breaths to calm herself down, otherwise both adults and children would be in danger.
Getting injured on a mission is a normal thing. Gu Sinian is so skilled, how could he be seriously injured and unconscious? There must be a mistake in the information. She has to go and expose the falsehood.
"Take me there now."
"Okay. I'll help you."
The two helped each other into the military green jeep.
The ground was covered in white, and what usually took an hour took three hours to drive. Su Ying sat in the car, anxiously waiting.
"Why is it so slow?"
"Please forgive us, Madam Commander. The wind and snow are a bit heavy today. There's no use in rushing; we must ensure safe driving."
Liu Xiaoliu didn't care about anything else; the regimental commander was already injured and unconscious, and the most important thing was the child in the regimental commander's wife's belly.
We cannot prioritize speed at the expense of personal safety.
Su Ying knew she was making things difficult for someone, but she just couldn't control herself.
My eyes are glued to the road ahead. It's too slow, too slow. Is there a faster way?
I left in a hurry just now. Liu Xiaoliu is the bodyguard. The leader's every need, including eating, drinking, and toileting, is entrusted to him.
The situation was urgent, and I forgot to remind the regimental commander's wife to bring her military overcoat.
What if he gets frostbite? How will he explain that to his two superiors?
He pulled over and took off his military overcoat, handing it to Su Ying in the back seat.
"Sister-in-law, please cover yourself with this. Don't get cold, the weather is terrible today."
Su Ying took the military coat. It was indeed colder today than yesterday. She had only been out for a short time, and her cheeks and ears had turned bright red.
Her hands were almost stiff; she was pregnant, so she didn't hold back.
There are warm clothes in the room, but now is not the right time to take them out and wear them.
"What are you going to do if I wear your military overcoat?"
"No...don't...mind...I'm healthy...I'm not cold...achoo..."
"Little Liu, drive as fast as you can without compromising safety, or you'll freeze to death."
"good."
Perhaps due to the cold, Liu Xiaoliu increased his speed considerably, and entered the military hospital just as he was about to become stiff.
As soon as he got out of the car, Liu Xiaoliu ignored Su Ying and shuffled into the military hospital.
He snatched the water bottle from the soldier on guard and drank it down in one gulp, making gurgling noises. The water bottle was empty in no time.
The soldiers also noticed something was wrong. Liu Xiaoliu was acting strangely; he was trembling all over, his cheeks were flushed, and his ears were almost frozen.
She glanced at the people getting off the bus behind her, then winked at the soldier next to her. The soldier stepped forward and helped Su Ying over.
"What happened?"
Once inside the military hospital, Su Ying felt less cold and took off her military overcoat, returning it to Liu Xiaoliu.
"Your military overcoat."
Liu Xiaoliu waved his hands repeatedly, "Sister-in-law, put it on first. The regimental commander has already had an accident, and you are pregnant, so you can't have another accident."
The two soldiers on guard probably knew who the woman in front of them was, and immediately took off their general's coats and draped them over Liu Xiaoliu's shoulders.
"Sister-in-law, put this on first. This weather is too cold. You won't be able to stand it without a military overcoat. There are spare military overcoats in our dormitory."
"I'll go get it right away."
Su Ying smiled and said, "Then I'll trouble you."
The soldier waved his hand, "No trouble at all."
He ran far away in no time; his speed was truly impressive, no wonder he's a soldier.
"Are you feeling better? Take me to see Gu Sinian."
Liu Xiaoliu nodded and led the way, asking as they walked, "It's almost lunchtime. Why don't I take you to lunch first? You're pregnant, you can't go hungry."
How could she possibly eat at this moment? Besides, she had a spatial ability, so she could just grab whatever was available to fill her stomach when she got hungry.
"No need. I'm not hungry. I can't eat. Take me to Gu Sinian's ward first. I need to make sure he's alright."
