Chapter 55 Uh, you misunderstood!

Su Mei carried Huo Jianguo all the way back to the room. He put his slender arms on her shoulders and his tall body leaned slightly against her, like a mountain.

When he got to the kang, Huo Jianguo took off his shoes and lay down on it.

Thinking that he had not washed his feet, Su Mei looked at his socks with some disgust. Although his feet did not have an unpleasant foot odor, Su Mei just felt that they were not clean.

"Well, can you take off your socks before going to bed?"

"Ah? Oh, okay." Huo Jianguo was stunned for a moment. He just lay down and then he slowly sat up again, pressing his injured leg.

This is when I started to dislike him for being dirty.

Her house in the past...Forget it, let’s not talk about the past.

Huo Jianguo took off his socks and was wondering where to put them. Su Mei dragged out a wooden basin for washing feet from the corner and held it in front of Huo Jianguo, saying:

"Put it inside!"

Then she watched Huo Jianguo throw his socks in, and stuffed the basin back under the cabinet in disgust.

After putting the foot basin in place, she picked up the military blanket that Huo Jianguo had placed on the cabinet, climbed onto the bed, and wrapped herself up like a cicada pupa.

"Good night!" She yawned and closed her eyes, then quickly burrowed into the quilt, breathing lightly and steadily.

Occasionally, he would snore a little.

After sleeping on the kang as he wished, Huo Jianguo still suffered from insomnia. He turned to the side, staring at the military blanket that was bulging like a mountain one meter away, and became dazed.

Later, Huo Jianguo didn't know when he fell asleep.

The next day, the two were awakened by knocking on the door outside the yard.

"What time is it?" After waking up, Su Mei turned around and asked Huo Jianguo beside her.

Huo Jianguo raised his arm and glanced at his watch, then replied, "Half past eight."

In fact, Huo Jianguo had woken up a long time ago. His body had its own alarm clock and would wake up automatically around seven o'clock.

But after waking up, he found Su Mei still sleeping soundly, so he did not wake her up.

It was not until someone knocked on the door that Huo Jianguo yawned and pretended to have just been woken up like Su Mei.

After hearing the time Huo Jianguo said, Su Mei got up from the bed and put on her clothes. While putting on her cotton pants, she shouted to the person outside the door:

"Wait a minute. I'll be right there."

While she was putting on her clothes, Huo Jianguo also got up. Seeing this, Su Mei said:

"Don't get up. Just keep lying there. You're hurt all over. Why would you get up? You're not going to work like this, are you?"

As she spoke, she walked forward, climbed onto the bed, and felt the temperature of Huo Jianguo's forehead.

She touched Huo Jianguo's head, then touched her own, carefully distinguishing the difference in temperature.

She didn't notice at all that a button of her gown was unbuttoned, and when she bent down, half of her round breasts were revealed, which were covered by an ill-fitting bellyband.

"It's okay, it's not burned anymore!" Su Mei said as she got off the bed.

After coming down, she looked at Huo Jianguo strangely again: "It's strange, your face is obviously not hot anymore, why is it still a little red?

"Did you stay in the border area for too long, so you have a little redness on your face?"

"But... maybe!" Huo Jianguo said this, glancing away uncomfortably.

Su Mei didn't think much about it. She put on her big cotton jacket, buttoned up her clothes and walked outside. When she reached the door, she found that there were many people waiting outside.

There was Aunt Wang who came over to invite the couple to have dinner, some colleagues who came to visit with food, and the old leader Chen Yilon who looked stern.

As Huo Jianguo's nominal wife, Su Mei tried hard to smile and welcome people into the yard.

She felt a little embarrassed. There were three rooms in the yard, but there was no place to receive people. She could only bring these people into her bedroom.

Anyway, they are here to visit the injured, so let them go in and talk to Huo Jianguo!

Fortunately, these people were tactful. When they entered the house and found no place to sit, they left gifts of condolences, exchanged a few words with Huo Jianguo, and then left in a hurry.

Soon, everyone left, leaving only Chen Yillong by Huo Jianguo's bed, sitting on the only sofa in the room.

Seeing that everyone had left, Chen Yilong had almost finished greeting Huo Jianguo. He suddenly turned his head to look at Su Mei who had been standing at the door and said:

"Xiao Su, you've worked hard these past few days. Jianguo is injured, so you should stay at home and take care of him. I'll give you two days off so you can have a good rest."

"Thank you for your concern." Su Mei didn't expect Chen Yilong to suddenly talk to her. She was stunned for a moment, then shook her head:

“No need to give me a holiday!”

"How can that be possible!" Chen Yilong was shocked, wondering how Su Mei's awareness had become so high. He looked at her with some disapproval:

"I think you should take it easy. You've been here for two days. It's okay to take a break. Jianguo also needs you. You don't have to rush back to work."

"Uh, you misunderstood!" Su Mei looked at Chen Yilong apologetically and said, "What I meant is that you don't need to give me a holiday because I won't go to work in the clinic anymore!"

Although she also wanted to help the frontier soldiers share their worries and solve their problems, she really couldn't continue working such a life-threatening job!

This time we only encountered a wolf, but what if we encounter a tiger on the road next time?

With her size, a big tiger couldn't finish eating her in one meal. It might bite off her arms and legs. How scary is that?

When Chen Yilong heard Su Mei's words, his face immediately turned cold:

"What do you mean you won't go to the clinic to work anymore?"
