Chapter 15: Concern and confusion
Qichuan did not let go, but held the bowl with his hand to prevent the porridge from spilling onto the bed.
His face showed that he knew she would find it too hot.
Xu Ningjun pinched his earlobe, wishing he could turn into millet and crawl into the bowl, "I heard you laugh!"
"You heard wrong."
"I didn't,"
He sat on the bed holding a bowl, and she drank the porridge with a spoon.
They really look like the ladies and servants of the Di family. They should be criticized for this.
Qichuan was patient, and under the dim light, Xu Ningjun felt his gentleness for the first time.
The look he gave her was neither hurried nor urgent, as if she could do whatever she wanted.
Xu Ningjun remembered that before her rebirth, Qian Meixiang forced her to drink a lot of Chinese medicine.
It is beautifully called the medicine for having children, but the origin of the Chinese medicine is unknown and it smells bitter.
She didn't want to drink it, so Qian Meixiang slammed the table and said, "If you can give birth, why would I spend money on medicine? Drink it quickly!"
The medicine was freshly boiled and was very hot, so Qian Meixiang forced her to drink it while it was hot.
She could only seek help from Yuanshan, who said, "It's so pretentious. How hot can it be? If you don't drink it hot, it won't work."
Bowl after bowl of boiling hot medicine was poured into the mouth.
The burns made her cry, and Qian Meixiang forced her to eat all the medicine residue.
No one knew what was in the medicine, but after drinking it she sometimes vomited and felt nauseous all night long.
At this time, she would be scolded by Yuanshan and accused of being a troublemaker.
She didn't even dare to vomit loudly, for fear that Qian Meixiang would find out and force her to drink another bowl of soup.
"乹川."
"Um?"
Her voice was filled with tears, and Nagakawa frowned.
What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?
"Men are all bad guys!"
Xu Ningjun stirred the porridge angrily, ate it in big mouthfuls, and muttered, "You are a man, but you are also a bad guy. You are also a family member, which is even worse."
She didn't know who to tell. "You've fallen into the same trap twice. Xu Ningjun, you're a complete idiot and a psychopath. I'm full. I don't want to eat anymore!"
Nakagawa didn't understand, so she threw the spoon back into the bowl and pouted looking unhappy.
He nodded, and if he didn't want to eat, then forget it. He stood up and prepared to take the bowl out.
Someone grabbed the corner of his clothes and said, "Nakawa, you'll come in later, right?"
Her big eyes were misty as she looked up at him.
Her black hair fell on her shoulders, and her eyes were slightly red. Perhaps because of her illness, she seemed to be particularly dependent on him.
No one could refuse Xu Ningjun, let alone someone like her.
"Um."
Qichuan turned his eyes away, walked out quickly, and cleared his throat.
The first time he saw her with her long hair loose, she was as beautiful as the fairy his grandmother had described to him.
There was a gurgling sound in the pot, and Nagakawa came to his senses, scooped half a bowl, and returned to the room.
"Hey, what's that smell?"
Xu Ningjun leaned closer to the bowl in his hand and sniffed it. "Ginger soup?"
"Um."
In rural areas, when you have a fever, you drink ginger soup, cover yourself up, and sweat, and you’ll be fine.
Everyone does farm work all year round and has a good physique. It is rare for someone to have a fever for two days like her.
"I don't want to drink!"
Xu Ningjun shook her head in disgust. When she was a child, her father always made ginger soup when she was sick.
It was spicy and smelly, and she would never forget it.
"Drink a little, it's good for your health."
Qichuan stirred the spoon in his hand and let it cool, "Wu Xiaohua, I made this especially for you."
"Really? Didn't she go out this morning? Xiaohua, you idiot, you forgot I don't like ginger soup."
Since it was a thoughtful gesture, Xu Ningjun stuck out his tongue and licked the ginger soup on the spoon.
It was just as unpalatable as I remembered, and it made my head spin.
When I made ginger soup at home, I would at least add some rock sugar, but there is no rock sugar here.
The ginger soup was so spicy that it hit my eyes and it was painful just to smell it.
"Duan Duan Duan Duan."
"One last bite."
"I can't even drink half a sip!"
"If you dare to force me to drink again, I'll be angry."
"How about this, you take a sip and I take a sip. You don't hate ginger soup either, do you, Comrade Chuanchuan?"
Wu Xiaohua came back outside the door and wanted to go in to see Xu Ningjun, when she heard the sound in the house.
She couldn't stand the coquettish voice. Wu Xiaohua watched with a smirk for a while and let Ningning torture the dull girl.
Some people can't hide their heartache and stay with you all night long.
He also said that there was nothing between the two of them and that there was no situation.
At night, Xu Ningjun got out of bed to wash up, and she almost smelled bad.
"Ningning, are you feeling better? The team leader said today that we'll draw lots tomorrow morning and arrange for you educated youth to live in our home, one family each. Do you want to draw lots yourself?"
