I only heard the old man praising, "My granddaughter-in-law is really clever and skillful. Grandpa likes the chicken soup you cook very much. It tastes delicious."
"Thank you for the compliment, grandpa. I will keep working hard," Mu Qiao was as happy as a child, and the old man became even happier after seeing it.
After the doctor's rounds, Mu Qiao pulled Qiao Lubai out of the ward and handed him another thermos bucket. "This is the soup I made especially for you. You're injured, so you need to replenish your body."
Qiao Lubai was touched, but he didn't really appreciate it. "You didn't put anything in there that shouldn't be put in there, did you?"
Mu Qiao rolled his eyes at him and asked, "Who do you think I am?"
"A person who has evil intentions towards me." Qiao Lubai bluntly exposed Mu Qiao's ulterior motives.
Mu Qiao was not afraid of being disliked by him, "If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten that I made this soup for a purpose. You have to drink it even if you don't want to."
"Is this your attitude when pursuing someone?" Qiao Lubai said he couldn't accept her like this.
Mu Qiao didn't care what he thought. He directly dragged him to the tea room in the ward, found a bowl and a spoon, and was about to open the thermos bucket when Qiao Lubai stopped him and asked, "What kind of soup is this?"
...
...
When it comes to drinking soup, Qiao Lubai is very picky. He simply won't drink ordinary soup.
"Pig's trotter soup!" Mu Qiao pried his hand away and opened the lid of the thermos bucket. "The doctor said that like cures like. Your left arm is injured, so you have to drink this soup."
Qiao Lubai covered his nose and stepped back a few steps, frowning in disgust, "I don't like pig's trotter soup, it has a strong smell, cover it up quickly."
"No!" Mu Qiao refused arrogantly. He filled a small bowl of steaming pig's trotter soup, stood up and approached Qiao Lubai, saying seriously, "Deputy Captain Qiao, you are the deputy captain of Snow Wolf. You don't have much time to rest. You must get better quickly. I made this pig's trotter soup myself. Even if you don't accept my favor, you have to think about your own health and the entire Snow Wolf."
With such a heavy responsibility weighing on him, even if Qiao Lubai didn't want to drink the pig's trotter soup, he had to drink it with his nose pinched.
After taking a small sip of the soup, Qiao Lubai suddenly loosened his hand that was pinching his nose and tasted it carefully. Strangely, this pig's trotter soup did not have that strange taste. Instead, the soup was very pure and delicious.
Qiao Lubai looked at Mu Qiao in confusion and asked, "What did you put in the soup?"
Mu Qiao thought he was still doubting her, and glared at her angrily, "Qiao Lubai, being too suspicious is very hurtful!"
"You misunderstood me." Qiao Lubai didn't want to explain. He simply raised his right hand, snatched the pig's trotter soup from Mu Qiao's hand, and drank it all.
"Any more? I want to drink more." Qiao Lubai handed the bowl to Mu Qiao.
"Yes." Mu Qiao was stunned for a moment, but reacted quickly and served him another bowl. He drank it all in one gulp, just like Zhu Bajie eating the ginseng fruit. He probably didn't taste anything, right?
Soon, Qiao Lubai drank up all the soup in the thermos.
Mu Qiao asked him, "Deputy Captain Qiao, did you taste anything?"
"No!" Qiao Lubai shook his head. He was teasing her on purpose. He just wanted to see her self-doubt. It was very interesting.
As he expected, Mu Qiao began to question himself, "This shouldn't be the case. The soup I made is delicious. Why didn't Deputy Captain Qiao taste the flavor? Did I forget something?"
Looking at her self-doubting expression, Qiao Lubai lost his mind unconsciously. He always said that Mu Qiao didn't look like a girl, but at this moment...
Her wheat-colored face, without any makeup or blemishes, and her clear eyes that seem to be able to see through people's hearts, can easily make people fall in love with them.
His heartbeat inexplicably quickened, as if he was doing all twelve exercises.
"Deputy Captain Qiao, why are you looking at me like that?" Mu Qiao asked him suspiciously.
This girl is actually a heartless person. What she calls "like" can be just two words: she is not serious at all.
Although she is like a blank slate when it comes to emotions, she is actually very attractive, but she is completely unaware of it.
Qiao Lubai is a man with great self-control, but he can hardly control himself at this moment.
It was not known whether Mu Qiao did it on purpose or did not understand the dangers of men, but she actually came up to him, stood on tiptoes, raised her hands and waved them in front of his eyes.
"Deputy Captain Qiao, are you pinned down?"
The suspicion on Mu Qiao's face intensified.
"Mu Qiao, you'd better stay away from me." Qiao Lubai could no longer control certain rebellious factors in his body, but Mu Qiao kept rubbing against him.
She is provoking trouble, does she know that?!
"I won't." Mu Qiao frowned and said angrily, "I told you yesterday that from today on, I, Mu Qiao, will pursue you. Have you forgotten this?"
Damn it, men can’t be spoiled, they have to be domineering when it’s time to be domineering.
"I haven't forgotten." Qiao Lubai pulled with his right hand, and Mu Qiao fell directly into his arms. He just hugged her tightly and didn't give her a chance to struggle.
Mu Qiao was stunned by his sudden action and didn't react for a long time, while the man buried his handsome face in her fragrant short hair.
"Why did you seduce me?" He murmured as if he was blaming her, but in reality, he was the one who could not withstand her temptation and that was why he surrendered so quickly.
To Mu Qiao, these words sounded like slander.
She immediately reacted and retorted, "How could I seduce you? I am clearly pursuing you seriously."
Qiao Lubai lowered his head, looked at the woman in his arms who was confident and blushing, and asked seriously, "Do you really like me?"
"Yeah!" Mu Qiao nodded without hesitation, but her pretty face turned even redder.
"Okay then." Qiao Lubai raised a charming smile at the corner of his lips and lowered his head to kiss her.
At this moment, Mu Qiao's breath was taken away by Qiao Lubai.
Heavy breathing, passionate kisses, it should have been a beautiful moment, but then someone heard coughing.
Mu Qiao was frightened and immediately pushed away the man who was kissing her, looking towards the door with a red face.
"It's a good idea for you to do this, but the place you chose is not right." The dignified and generous Mother Qiao stood at the door and witnessed her son and the girl kissing. She said that as an old mother she wanted to leave tactfully, but this is a tea room, a public place, and she has to pay attention to her image.
Upon hearing this, Mu Qiao lowered his head in shame, not knowing what to do.
When Qiao Lubai heard his mother's voice, he calmed down, walked over as if nothing had happened, and greeted, "Mom, you're here."
When Mu Qiao heard Qiao Lubai calling "Auntie" and "Mom" at the door, he felt terrible and ashamed. He wished he could dig a hole in the ground and crawl into it, never coming out to see anyone again.
How is she doing now?
He died before he could accomplish his mission. When he met Qiao Lubai's mother for the first time, he was totally embarrassed and lost all his image.
"Mu Qiao, come here." When Mu Qiao was going crazy, she heard Qiao Lubai calling her.
"Oh, OK!" Mu Qiao responded at a loss, and walked to Qiao Lubai's side with difficult steps, being looked at by Qiao's mother's burning eyes...
