apricot cheese
Fu Mingyue was stunned, but as long as her brother agreed to let her take Weiwei to treat Mingzhao, she would agree to anything he asked.
"make a deal!"
The sadness gradually faded, but Kuang Ye was still nervously comforting the beloved woman beside him, whose eyes were still red. Xie Yunqing stood to the side, silently observing their every move. Perhaps... this was the reason why Mingyue chose Kuang Ye.
Cuckoo cuckoo...
Su Yunwei heard her stomach rumbling and realized that she had not eaten anything since morning. At first, when she was feeling sleepy, the feeling of hunger was not so obvious. Now that the sleepiness was slowly fading away and the feeling of hunger in her stomach was spreading, she suddenly felt that she could eat a whole cow.
Just as she was about to ask where to order food, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a slender figure standing at the door. She looked closely and saw that it was Fu Changan talking to a man who looked like a restaurant waiter.
Seeing this, Su Yunwei was a little surprised. Could it be that he found out that she was hungry and was ordering food for her? But she shouldn't think too much about such self-conceited things. She looked embarrassed and looked at the man with a hesitant look.
"It's rare to see Hengzhi being so considerate." Xie Yunqing moved closer to Su Yunwei, staring at the figure at the door.
Considerate? Su Yun briefly recalled some of his memories of Fu Changan. Although they had less contact, his words were not without reason.
She nodded vigorously to show her agreement. She wanted to say something to Xie Yunqing beside her, but she saw the man at the door moving and walking straight towards her.
"Please sit down for a while. The food will be served soon." Fu Changan had been fighting outside for many years. He was more accustomed to the simple meals in the army. The crab meat lion head he tasted in the palace some time ago was delicious. Mingyue said that women all loved this dish, but he didn't know if she would like it. The seasonal vegetables recommended by the waiter should suit her taste. He remembered that day in Zhaohuiyuan, she ate vegetables with relish.
As he was speaking, the waiters from the restaurant outside came in one after another, set the dishes and chopsticks in place, and also placed the dessert that Fu Changan ordered on the table.
Kuang Ye and Fu Mingyue sat on one side, Fu Changan sat next to Su Yunwei, and Xie Yunqing was sandwiched between the two couples. They looked out of place.
The sweet smell came over, and Su Yunwei's eyes flashed as she looked at the dessert. Fu Changan's eyes moved slightly, but at this moment, looking at her bright eyes, he was a little at a loss.
"Thank you, Fu Changan."
Fu Changan, who was about to get the boiling water, hesitated slightly, his drooping eyes casting a shadow. He said, "It's just a small favor, no need to thank me." Then, under Su Yunwei's watchful eyes, he boiled her bowls and chopsticks one by one and handed them to her. He then pushed a bowl of glutinous dessert towards her.
"Try the apricot curd."
The general who commanded thousands of troops never hesitated in making decisions on the battlefield, but at this moment he didn't know how to respond to this simple thank you. Twenty years of military career had already made his heart cold and hard, and it was inappropriate to be too warm, but if he put on a stern face as if he was scolding a soldier... he was afraid that it would scare her.
This Doctor Su is really more comfortable than those noble ladies in the city...
The man's movements were clear and natural, as if no one was around. Su Yunwei was a little stunned. She slowly and silently looked at the man with his head down for a while. She pursed her lips, and then raised the corners of her mouth slightly. He was the first person who cared about her since she came to this strange world. When she was in Zhaohui Courtyard, it was he who noticed that she was hungry and called her to come over for dinner.
She was a little touched.
Fu Mingyue lowered her head, feeling a little down. She stared blankly at Kuang Ye as he handled the dishes, unable to spare any attention for other things.
Xie Yunqing, who was standing aside, had a slight twitch in his mouth. He suddenly felt that he was very annoying being stuck in the middle.
"You...you should eat something too." Su Yunwei always felt a little uncomfortable in the face of other people's kindness. She was not very good at getting along with others. Her colleagues in the hospital said that she was an extremely boring woman. She had no life except going to work and lying down after get off work.
But isn't life just about feeling comfortable? Catering to others, finding ways to do things you're not good at and don't want to do, that's not life; it's just like going to work.
Fu Changan stared at the cheese Su Yunwei handed over. He hadn't hesitated when swallowing blood and sand in the northwest wind and sand, but now he couldn't hold a spoon to scoop the cheese. Was she caring about him? This cheese was originally ordered for her...
Suddenly realizing that she had been silent for too long and had to say something quickly, Fu Changan raised his eyes slightly and met her gaze, which she had no time to dodge. The porcelain spoon in his hand suddenly fell down, making a crisp sound.
Everyone looked up with puzzled expressions, and Su Yunwei hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing..." Fu Changan pushed the candied lotus root on the table in front of Su Yunwei and said softly, "The lotus root from this shop..." He glanced at her and suddenly saw that the corner of Su Yunwei's mouth was stained with icing sugar. He subconsciously raised his hand but froze in mid-air. He turned his eyes away and said in a muffled voice, "...very sweet."
"...Oh." Su Yunwei responded softly. She didn't know what he meant by raising his hand and then suddenly putting it down. She just pretended that she didn't see it. She quickly responded and lowered her head to savor the sweet delicacy.
A military commander shouldn't be so indecisive, but looking at her always reminded him of the moon when he left home at thirteen, a moon that made him feel uneasy. The sight of the frosting on the corners of her mouth was even hotter than the flames from the granary fire.
Xie Yunqing, who was standing aside, stared intently at Fu Changan's hesitant expression, and couldn't help but snort in his heart, "Fu Hengzhi! You turned out to be such a reserved man. I really underestimated you before."
Several people in the side room were eating with their heads down, but the lobby on the first floor was bustling with activity. As usual, hotels in the capital city had a courtyard, a lobby inside the hotel, and a winding corridor behind it. There were usually private rooms on both sides of the corridor. The private rooms here were the lowest-priced private rooms in Yongle Building. Compared with the luxurious private rooms on the third floor, this place could only be described as elegant. Curtains were hung on the doors and windows, and the partitions were just for separation, and the privacy was not strong. Therefore, guests with certain status would often choose the better side rooms.
"Mom, why doesn't Grandma like us? Am I not Grandma's biological grandson?" On one side of the hall, a boy dressed elegantly looked up, bewildered, and asked his mother beside him. He didn't understand? Today was clearly Grandma's birthday, so why couldn't he go and celebrate?
The boy's mother lowered her eyes to look at him, her eyes gentle. She settled him into a chair and then sat down herself.
This matter had nothing to do with him. She also wanted Hong'er to go to celebrate her mother-in-law's birthday, but her husband's family had always disliked them. The mother-in-law was like this, the husband was like this, and even the maids in the house were like this, all because her mother's family was of humble status and their words were not taken seriously.
She was not good at dealing with the disputes between mother-in-law, daughter-in-law and sisters-in-law. She plunged into this vortex and is now dizzy. She can never go back to her carefree days.
"Let's eat first, Hong'er."
"Okay, mother," the boy nodded obediently, placing his mother's bowl and chopsticks in front of her before starting to eat. His round cheeks puffed up slightly as he chewed.
The woman smiled kindly. She thought that the only consolation of marrying into this wealthy family was having such a well-behaved and caring son.
The two of them silently picked up food for each other, their expressions full of warmth and affection.
Sudden·····
A choking cough was heard, and the boy's face turned red in an instant. His bright eyes stared in horror, filled with tears that were about to suffocate him. He suddenly raised his little hands and grabbed his neck tightly, as if trying to tear open a crack so that he could breathe.
"Hong'er? Hong'er?" The woman's eyes widened in shock. She looked at her son, who was almost suffocating, helplessly, tears streaming down her face. He was choking! She patted his back in panic, praying that his symptoms would disappear, but his reaction only intensified.
The boy's lips were losing color at a speed visible to the naked eye. First they turned pale and then turned into a cyan color on the verge of collapse. He tightly grasped his mother's arm for help, his small chest heaving violently. He just wanted to breathe.
"Help! Help...!" the woman screamed uncontrollably. She frantically reached out to dig into the boy's mouth, but it was in vain. Her heart, which had been hanging in the air, dropped sharply, and tears and sweat mixed together.
The hall was suddenly in chaos. Some people rushed out of the restaurant and headed towards the clinic, while more people gathered on one side, craning their necks to look and talking.
Many people soon gathered around the boy and his mother. Seeing the boy's painful expression, they didn't know what to do. After all, the child was not their own and had nothing to do with them. Moreover...if they handled it improperly, if something happened to the child, no one would be able to take the responsibility.
The door of the private room on the third floor was originally closed, but just as the waiter opened the door to serve the dishes, panicked cries for help suddenly came from downstairs.
As a doctor, Su Yunwei's alertness instantly reached its maximum. She looked up at the waiter who seemed to be arranging the dishes and asked, "What's going on downstairs? I think I heard someone shouting for help."
The waiter put the dishes in his hands aside and said respectfully, "It seems that a child choked."
"Choked?" Su Yunwei's eyebrows flickered slightly. She shouldn't have asked this question! It would have been fine if she didn't know. As soon as she knew... she couldn't help but want to rush down...
There was a moment of silence... She suddenly stood up, and everyone was startled.
"I'll go down and take a look." Su Yunwei said this and ran out. Fu Changan reacted quickly and followed closely behind. The others looked at each other blankly for a moment, then got up and followed him downstairs.
As a military commander, Fu Changan knew that every second counted in a critical moment. He pushed through the crowd for Su Yunwei. The child he saw, choking, reminded him of the soldiers who suffocated to death on the battlefield.
