Chapter 6: Strangers Living Together, A Little Awkward



Li Ying could tell that Ye Jingchi's sister didn't like her, but she didn't mind. She also didn't like girls who were loud and boisterous on their first meeting.

After getting familiar with the surroundings, Ye Jingchi took Li Ying directly back to her room to rest.

"Aunt Li cooks at home. If you want anything to eat, you can tell Aunt Li."

Ye Jingchi put his luggage in the bedroom and opened the wardrobe to make some space.

Li Ying hesitated for a moment before saying, "I'll live in the dormitory assigned by the hospital from now on."

Ye Jingchi paused as he put down the clothes, then turned to look at Li Ying.

Li Ying smiled calmly.

Since it's a marriage of convenience, it's not good for them to live together all the time. What if she can't control herself? After all, this man is really good-looking.

"You're newly pregnant, and I haven't even submitted my marriage application yet. If you stay in the hospital dormitory, what will people say?"

Ye Jingchi's words seemed to make a lot of sense, but Li Ying didn't think that much about it.

Since they're a fake couple anyway, they should act like it's the real thing.

"It's not far from the military hospital. I can take you to work during the day, so you don't need to worry."

The military hospital Li Ying entered was located not far from the camp, so the two of them could go out together.

Li Ying did not refuse, but simply nodded slightly.

Since we're already here, let's just accept it. We've come this far, is there any need to be coy or pretentious anymore?

Ye Jingchi saw that she was being awkward, but he didn't find it offensive. In fact, he was also feeling awkward himself. He had never thought of marrying a stranger so soon. It was only because of the circumstances that he chose Li Ying.

As long as Li Ying cooperates with him obediently and they live a good life together, he will treat her well in the future.

"I've been on the train all day, let me rest for a bit, then I'll go back to the camp to give a report!"

After Ye Jingchi left, Li Ying was so tired that she lay down to rest.

The beds were prepared in advance; Ye Jingchi must have called beforehand.

In the main hall, Ye Zhonghong muttered discontentedly, "I don't know what's wrong with Third Brother? He suddenly brought back a Third Sister-in-law. What about Eldest Sister-in-law and Dangdang?"

Hua, who was reading the script, raised an eyebrow slightly. "Zhong Hong, you'd better not meddle in the affairs of adults."

"Second sister-in-law, didn't you support Third Brother and Eldest Sister-in-law being together before? Why have you changed your attitude now?" Ye Zhonghong asked, displeased.

Hua smiled gently: "Do I have any right to speak in your Ye family?"

Because of her identity as an actress, Ye's parents never gave her a second glance. At home, she was just someone who would do whatever others said and go with the flow.

Ye Zhonghong was fuming. "If I had known that Third Brother wouldn't be with Sister-in-law, I would have preferred to marry Nuannuan. Marrying a country woman is shameful!"

Nuannuan is Ye Zhonghong's best friend and she really likes Ye Jingchi. Before, because Ye Zhonghong wanted to matchmake her sister-in-law and third brother, she stopped Nuannuan from meeting the third brother. Now, the third brother didn't even say a word and brought back a woman from the countryside.

Hua Qingqing raised her eyebrows slightly, clearly not liking Ye Zhonghong's tone of voice.

“Zhonghong, don’t judge a book by its cover. Country folk aren’t all good. Didn’t your third brother tell you that she sent a secret recipe to the army during the flood relief efforts in June? That means she’s a medical expert.”

Hua Qingqing doesn't see anyone clearly. Perhaps because of her own situation in the Ye family, she spoke up for Li Ying.

Ye Zhonghong glared at her second sister-in-law, stood up, and stormed off.

Hua Qingqing ignored Ye Zhonghong and only stood up when Ye Jingchi returned on his bicycle.

"Jingchi, you finished the report so quickly?"

Ye Jingchi nodded, seeing that his second sister-in-law seemed to have something to say. He parked the car and walked into the main hall: "Second sister-in-law, I haven't finished my vacation yet. I went to submit a marriage application."

"Jingchi, is she the girl you mentioned who gave the army the prescription in June?"

Ye Jingchi already made it very clear on the phone, so why is my second sister-in-law still asking? Could it be that she wants to...?

"Second sister-in-law, please speak your mind!"

Hua gently gripped the notebook in her hand, hesitated for a moment, and then said with a serious expression, "Do you think it's possible for her to examine my brother?"

Ye Jingchi guessed that his second sister-in-law still missed her family and wanted to regain their favor, which was why she wanted Li Ying to treat her brother who had been in a coma for more than a year.

"I'll tell Li Ying about Chen Yue's condition and ask for her opinion. I'll get back to you later."

Hua smiled gently and said thank you.

Li Ying didn't know how long she had slept. When she got up, the room was dark, but the lights were on outside.

The door opened, and Ye Jingchi turned on the bedside lamp.

"Are you awake?"

"What time is it?"

"It's past eight o'clock, are you hungry? Aunt Li saved some food, I'll bring it to you."

Ye Jingchi said as he went out, and soon returned to the house with a tray containing rice, vegetables, and meat.

Li Ying washed her hands and sat down. She was usually fine, but probably because of the train ride, she slept very soundly today, which is why she missed the meal.

Ye Jingchi sat down and carefully began to speak: "Li Ying, there's something I want to say to you."

Upon hearing this, Li Ying put down her chopsticks; she was used to stopping everything when listening to the patient's condition.

"It's okay, you eat."

Ye Jingchi picked up the chopsticks and put them in Li Ying's hand. She was pregnant and couldn't go hungry.

Li Ying was indeed hungry, but she really wasn't used to eating while listening to others talk about their illnesses, so she just picked up her chopsticks and listened attentively.

Ye Jingchi briefly explained his sister-in-law's younger brother's condition.

"You just arrived and we're already having you see a doctor. Your second sister-in-law is worried about your health, so she asked me to tell you."

Li Ying didn't see anything wrong with it; she studied medicine to treat and save lives.
