Chapter 44 Bowing
"You're so old, why are you so disorganized in your actions?"
Huo Jingchuan spoke very logically. He frowned and opened the door of Huo Tingkun's office, and went home without stopping.
Huo Tingkun had just been scolded by Ye Surong, and when he came to the army, he was scolded by Huo Jingchuan again.
Who can he go to for justice?
Huo Tingkun followed him out and closed the office door.
Huo Jingchuan jogged all the way home, his face not red, he was not out of breath, and even his breathing rate was not irregular.
Ye Surong was knocking on Jiang Cha's door. She whispered softly, "Cha Cha, you haven't had lunch yet. Mom just made some mung bean soup. Can you come out and have some?"
"Mom, I'm not hungry. Don't worry about me. I'm really fine. I'll go out after I've rested well."
She was not unhappy, nor was she angry at anyone; she just hadn't sorted out her feelings yet.
Jiang Cha even thought, it would be nice if she was really just eighteen-year-old Jiang Cha!
In this way, she wouldn't have to think so much, unlike now, where she neither has the courage of eighteen-year-old Jiang Cha, nor has she acquired the overthinking character of thirty-five Jiang Cha.
He is always looking back and forth, not free and easy at all.
"Jingchuan, you're back?"
Ye Surong's voice came from outside the door, and Jiang Cha's heart tightened.
She quickly stuffed the appointment form back into her bag and fastened it tightly.
Because of the injury on his wrist, Jiang Cha tried his best to speed up, but his hand was still not much faster.
On the contrary, the more anxious you are, the more likely you are to make mistakes.
Her bag hadn't been buckled yet when it fell to the ground with a clatter, and the contents spilled all over the floor.
"Chacha, let's talk."
Huo Jingchuan's calm and clear voice passed through the wooden door and fell into Jiang Cha's ears.
Jiang Cha hurriedly bent down, trying to pick up everything in the bag and stuff it back into the bag. For a moment, she failed to control her strength and fell off the wheelchair.
"ah!"
Her shoulder hit the heavy high chair, and the pain made her hair stand on end.
There was a muffled sound, followed by her groan. The heavy chair was knocked back a few centimeters by her, and the back of the chair hit the desk behind it.
Huo Jingchuan has sharp hearing. Just by listening to the sounds, he can imagine what happened to Jiang Cha in the room.
"Chacha, you fell down, didn't you?"
"No!"
Jiang Cha's face turned pale. She forced herself to answer, her voice trembling a little.
"I'm coming in!"
Huo Jingchuan didn't believe what she said at all.
Ye Surong hurried outside and saw the ginger tea dropped on the ground through the window.
"Cha Cha, don't move. I'm going to get the key. Please don't move!"
How could Huo Jingchuan wait for Ye Surong to get the key?
He pushed hard and Jiang Cha's door was opened.
Jiang Cha closed his eyes and had no strength to struggle anymore.
The more you don't want to make people worry, the more likely it is that things will get complicated!
"What are you doing?"
Huo Jingchuan picked up Jiang Cha from the ground and put her on the bed.
There were scratches on Jiang Cha's knees and elbows, and it was obvious that they were caused by the fall just now.
"Do you know that you are not able to move around easily now? You locked yourself in the room alone. Have you ever thought about how worried we would be?"
Huo Jingchuan had fought dozens of fights in the army, and he was not so nervous even when he ran all the way back from the army. But when he heard two thuds in Jiang Cha's room, his heart seemed to jump out of his throat.
Jiang Cha was scolded harshly. Her beautiful eyes were watery and red, like a little rabbit that had suffered a lot of grievances.
Even the shallow scratches on the porcelain-white skin look shocking.
She bit her lip, shrank her neck, and took the scolding obediently.
Huo Jingchuan's heart softened all of a sudden.
"I really owe you in my past life."
As he spoke, he went outside and brought back a medicine box.
Ye Surong took out the Ye family's ancestral medicine for external injuries.
"Jingchuan, give Cha Cha this medicine. I asked Director Huang today, and this medicine is more effective than the one prescribed in the hospital."
"Okay." Huo Jingchuan took the medicine from Ye Surong's hand, sat beside Jiang Cha's bed, and applied the medicine to her with a stern face.
Perhaps because he had suffered too many injuries in the past, Huo Jingchuan was very adept at dealing with this kind of simple external injury.
However, the feeling this wound gave him was completely different when it appeared on his own body and when it appeared on Jiang Cha's body.
If it was just a minor scratch on his body, he wouldn't even bother to deal with it.
Anyway, he has thick skin and will be fine in two days.
But when it came to Jiang Cha, Huo Jingchuan's heart was in a knot.
He didn't even dare to imagine how painful it would be for Jiang Cha to have to endure the injuries on his body.
Holding a pair of tweezers filled with sterilized cotton soaked in iodine, Huo Jingchuan gently cleaned the dust off Jiang Cha's wound.
If the wound is not cleaned properly, it can easily become infected and inflamed.
Huo Tingkun's speed is not as fast as Huo Jingchuan's.
As soon as he walked into Jiang Cha's room, he was pulled out by Ye Surong.
"Let them resolve their own conflicts. It's not good for us, as elders, to interfere too much!"
Young people think differently from people their age.
They didn't even know why the two people were in conflict. If they intervened rashly, it would be bad if they ended up making things worse.
If Huo Jingchuan and Huo Jingye had a conflict, Huo Tingkun would not bother to take care of the matter, but the person who had a conflict with Huo Jingchuan was Jiang Cha.
He was afraid that Jiang Cha had been wronged at home, so how could he feel at ease?
Ye Surong pulled him to the kitchen.
"Cha Cha didn't eat lunch, so let's order some delicious food tonight and coax her into eating more!"
This is fine.
Huo Tingkun rolled up his sleeves and said, "I'll be in charge of cooking today, and Teacher Ye will just stand by and give me instructions!"
"loquacious."
Jiang Cha was shaking with pain.
Huo Jingchuan had a stern face from beginning to end, and she didn't dare to say that after the fall just now, the most painful part of her body was the injury on her wrist.
Finally, Huo Jingchuan applied a layer of white and delicate powder on his arms and knees.
He closed the medicine box and asked coldly, "Are you still feeling unwell?"
Jiang Cha's gaze moved upwards as Huo Jingchuan stood up and she shook her head.
He looked down at her. From this angle, Jiang Cha looked even more pitiful!
Huo Jingchuan forced himself to look away, put the medicine box on the table, then squatted down and put the things that had fallen from her bag onto the ground back into her bag one by one.
A folding dagger, silver needles, medicinal powder, a manuscript, a pen, colorful hairbands, and finally the appointment form that he casually threw at her.
Huo Jingchuan's gaze stopped at the two words "Ginger Tea" on the appointment form.
It was only two seconds and Jiang Cha's breathing stopped.
She felt guilty and was afraid that Huo Jingchuan would see through her dirty heart through those two words.
"I didn't mean to lock myself in the room. I just had some things I couldn't figure out, and I wanted to be alone for a while."
She blamed herself so much for making her family worry.
"I won't do this again, brother, can you... please stop being angry with me?"
Huo Jingchuan casually put his bag on the bedside table. He pulled a chair and sat beside Jiang Cha's bed, regaining his composure.
Do you feel so upset when you see Chu Tianze?
It seems that she really likes that man.
Huo Jingchuan couldn't find any words to describe his current mood.
No wonder, those brothers in the army who loved their sisters felt both relieved and angry when they knew that their sisters were going to get married.
So, he would be like this too?
But, girls have to get married, right?
Jiang Cha is already eighteen years old. If she were in the countryside, she might even have a child!
When Huo Jingchuan thought about this, his blood began to surge again.
"I'm not angry with you. What I did today was wrong. I shouldn't have interfered with your freedom to make friends."
Even if that man is her partner, it is normal.
After all, he and Jiang Cha have only known each other for a few days?
Huo Jingchuan laughed at himself.
"The night Chi Jun kidnapped you, you were talking nonsense when I found you. I asked Director Huang about it, and he said you were probably frightened. If you don't get psychological counseling in time, it will likely have a negative impact on your mental health. So, I went to the hospital today to make an appointment for you. I'll go with you tomorrow afternoon."
Jiang Cha nodded quickly, "Thank you, brother."
Huo Jingchuan calmed down, and she felt happy.
Jiang Cha smiled and said, "Brother, the person I met in the hospital today is my classmate. His name is Chu Tianze. He is a very good person, not what you think."
Jiang Cha specifically explained it to Huo Jingchuan.
She thought that Huo Jingchuan regarded Chu Tianze as a bad person with bad intentions towards her.
Little did she know that the more she explained, the more upset Huo Jingchuan became.
"He is your friend, he has nothing to do with me."
Jiang Cha was almost left speechless by Huo Jingchuan's words.
She still kept smiling.
"When you saw us, he was looking for a pen in my bag. My hand had just been medicated and it wasn't very convenient, so I thought of telling him my new address and contact information, and he wrote it down. That's all. We weren't in that kind of relationship, and we didn't hug each other, let alone... kiss!"
Huo Jingchuan later thought about it carefully. Based on Jiang Cha's personality, no matter how much she liked that man, she would not be so intimate with him in public.
But whenever he thought of these two people being so close to each other and having endless things to say, an inexplicable fire would rise in his heart, and he didn't even know why.
"I told you, he's your friend. I don't want to know what's going on between you two!"
"oh!"
Jiang Cha lowered his head again. He really shouldn't be interested in her private affairs, right?
Huo Jingchuan hated to see Jiang Cha looking so pitiful. He reflected on himself and wondered if his voice was too harsh just now.
So, he tried to soften his voice, "You're already a grown woman. You have the right to make your own friends. If one day, you meet someone you like... you must bring them to me and let me judge them for you. Men understand men best. If you're so foolish and get cheated, you won't even have time to cry!"
