Chapter 59 Eating Oranges
Xia Keqing nodded. To her, it was more important to win the boss's favor. As for whether or not to tell the boss who had leaked the secret...
It doesn't matter.
It depends.
If necessary, definitely say it.
Not only did she have to tell it, she also had to tell Shen Jichuan that after she discovered something was wrong, she forced Xiao Liu to ask about his situation.
As for whether Xiao Liu would be scolded by Shen Jichuan for not keeping her mouth shut, she didn’t care.
If Xiao Liu knew what Xia Keqing was thinking now, he would definitely not tell her.
Unfortunately, he knew nothing and tactfully closed the door and walked out.
As soon as Xiao Liu left, Xia Keqing's attention immediately turned to Shen Jichuan.
He was lying on the hospital bed, bandaged, dozing with his eyes closed.
I heard the sound and knew someone was coming in. I thought it was Xiao Liu, but the next moment I saw the little girl flying towards me.
Shen Jichuan was startled, and the wound was pulled at once. As a result, he opened his arms to catch his little girl, but the latter braked in time just before touching him.
Her big eyes were full of heartache, and she raised her hands a little helplessly, as if she wanted to touch his wound, but seemed afraid of hurting him, so she didn't dare to reach out and retracted her hands...
Shen Jichuan opened his lips, but in the end he said nothing, just pretending to be nonchalant and said, “Don’t worry, I’m fine.”
He saw the little girl's tears falling like huge pearls.
Shen Jichuan was most afraid of girls crying.
He pursed his lips and gently took the little girl into his arms, "I'm really fine, don't worry."
Xia Keqing wiped away her tears and nodded quickly.
She and Shen Jichuan were not familiar with each other after all, and it would be bad if the play was overdone. It was just the right amount, showing her concern for him without seeming too fake.
She took a half step back and broke free from Shen Jichuan's arms.
After hesitating for a moment, he said:
"Training must be very hard."
"I'm sorry, I'm just an unsophisticated person and I'm making a fuss out of nothing."
She touched her eyes again, smiled, and her whole face brightened up.
"I once heard a saying that the reason we are living a peaceful life now is because someone is carrying the burden for us. Brother Shen, you are such a person."
Shen Jichuan thought for a moment, and his expression suddenly changed.
He didn’t expect his little fiancée to be so aware!
He originally felt sorry for her.
He is a soldier with many missions. He can't be just her man.
He also belongs to the country.
He didn't expect she understood everything.
With a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for?
At this moment, Shen Jichuan looked at Xia Keqing differently.
If he was attracted to a woman out of a man's instinct at the beginning, then now, Xia Keqing meant something completely different to him.
This is truly a soulmate, a flower that can speak and understand.
Xia Keqing looked into his deep eyes and instantly realized that her goal had been achieved.
People of this era are different from those in later generations. They have a strong sense of family and country. Some remarks that seem pretentious in later generations make them feel very passionate.
Anyway, I'm not afraid of exaggeration, I'm just afraid that it's not touching enough.
This wave is a sure win.
But Xia Keqing didn't want Shen Jichuan to get hurt all the time.
The human body is like a precision instrument. Although it can be repaired, it is definitely not good to repair it too many times. It will affect the user experience and her happiness in the rest of her life.
So Xia Keqing said sincerely: "No matter what, I hope you can protect yourself and try not to get hurt."
Shen Jichuan nodded, feeling warm in his heart.
After the sentimental drama ended, Xia Keqing automatically switched to her daily routine.
But she still felt a little sorry in her heart, Shen Jichuan was injured, and she couldn't sit on someone's lap and tease him anymore.
It's such a pity.
So she sat obediently on the side, and took the initiative to peel an orange for Shen Jichuan, raised it, and was about to put it into his mouth, pausing for a moment, "Did the doctor say you can eat oranges?"
Shen Jichuan looked like he had lost too much blood, and his lips had turned a bit pale, so she was not sure why he was injured.
According to his profession, the injury must have been serious and it was not a question she could ask.
In addition, it was not easy to ask directly about the character she had just created for herself, so she asked if she could eat oranges.
This is something you can ask.
Shen Jichuan looked at her dimly.
Xia Keqing blinked, the orange petals brushed against the corner of his lips, and she quickly stuffed them into her mouth.
She smiled slyly, "Forget it, you are injured, so you'd better not eat raw or cold food."
Shen Jichuan watched helplessly as she ate the orange peel with the warmth from his lips.
The little girl's face is round, but she looks very small. Her cheeks are filled with small orange petals, making her look like a little squirrel stealing food.
The way she chewed was particularly beautiful, twisting her lips back and forth, and her lips, stained with orange juice, had a faint rosy sheen.
Shen Jichuan's gaze suddenly became extremely deep.
"Is it tasty?"
Xia Keqing looked at him and burst out laughing. She covered her lips and said, "Of course it's delicious."
“You have no idea how sweet this orange is!”
Shen Jichuan stared at her lips and nodded silently in his heart, it must be very sweet.
He wants to taste the orange.
"You don't know, there are two orange trees planted in front of my house. One autumn, my brother caught a cold and had a cough, but my mother didn't give him any oranges to eat. She gave all the oranges to me and my sister. My brother couldn't eat any, but when he saw us eating, he always thought the oranges that year were the sweetest."
She looked so sweet when she smiled, Shen Jichuan subconsciously asked: "What happened next?"
"My brother was so greedy that he made a lot of noise. My mother had no choice but to stew the oranges for him to eat."
"Guess what happened?"
Xia Keqing smiled like a cat stealing fish.
Shen Jichuan himself did not realize how tenderly he looked at her, and followed her lead and asked, "What's the matter?"
Xia Keqing covered her lips and said, "My brother said that orange is sour."
Shen Jichuan couldn't help laughing.
Before he even asked, Xia Keqing said with a smile: "Oranges are rich in vitamins and fruit acids. When heated, the acidic substances are easily released, so they will be more sour than when not heated."
Shen Jichuan thought about it, "Why can't you eat oranges when you have a cough?"
He has several brothers and sisters, and his parents are too busy to take care of them.
As long as they are alive, no one cares whether they cough or not, or what the naughty children eat outside.
Xia Keqing said seriously: "According to science, when you are sick, you should supplement with fresh fruits and vegetables, so that it will be more conducive to recovery."
Shen Jichuan smiled, waiting for her to say the second half of the sentence.
Xia Keqing didn't say anything.
Have to wait for him to ask.
He was helpless, "What is that unscientific statement?"
Xia Keqing's eyes were clear. "I don't know what the unscientific saying is. I had a cough that was almost healed, and my mother picked some oranges and left them at home. I couldn't help it and ate one, and my cough got worse. I coughed for several more days before it healed."
She also stressed: "I was almost getting better, and I almost stopped coughing. But because of an orange, my cough got worse again, and I coughed for several more days!"
Shen Jichuan said nothing, just nodded.
Xia Keqing asked again: "When can you be discharged from the hospital?"
She asked several questions in a row, "After you are discharged from the hospital, will you go home to rest? Or will you return to the army?"
