Chapter 81 I don't like Su Xinyao
Su Xinyao's outstretched hand fell empty, but the smile on her face did not diminish at all.
She naturally pulled back the loose hair on her temples, as if the action just now was nothing out of the ordinary.
Her gaze quickly turned to Lu Xiao, with just the right amount of respect and a hint of intimacy.
"Deputy Captain Lu is here too, what a coincidence. I was just planning to go look for Su Tang in the dormitory, but I didn't expect to run into him here."
She shook the net bag in her hand, and the red apples inside looked particularly juicy.
"It was sent from my hometown. I brought some for Su Tang to try. She's injured and needs some nourishment."
Lu Xiao stood beside Su Tang, his tall body like a silent wall.
There was no expression on his face, he just nodded to Su Xinyao as a greeting.
The man's eyes were calm and had a soldier's unique scrutiny. When they fell on Su Xinyao, she felt inexplicably nervous.
"Sister Xinyao is thoughtful."
Su Tang smiled politely and said politely: "But my injury is really nothing, just a little scrape, and I don't even need to change the medicine many times. You can keep the apple for yourself, working in the hospital is hard."
"Don't be polite to me in private."
Su Xinyao scolded in a friendly tone.
"We are cousins and we both work in the same place, so we should take care of each other."
She glanced at Su Tang's waist again, with a hint of inquiry.
"I heard the wedding was really scary that day. You rushed in like that. You were really brave."
She didn't finish her words, but her meaning was very clear. She was saying that Su Tang was impulsive.
Lu Xiao didn't respond, but just tightened his grip on Su Tang's hand slightly.
He could feel Su Tang's hand was a little stiff in his palm.
"The situation was urgent at the time and saving lives was the most important thing. I didn't think too much about it."
Su Tang responded lightly, not wanting to dwell on this topic.
She always felt that Su Xinyao's sudden enthusiasm and concern were like a thin layer of frosting, with something hidden underneath.
"Saving lives is a doctor's duty."
"But Su Tang, you have to pay attention to your own safety. You are a good seedling in our department and you will have to take on important responsibilities in the future. You can't make any mistakes.
Next time you encounter a similar situation, think of more solutions or call for help instead of rushing forward alone."
These words sound like the advice of a caring senior to a junior, spoken with earnestness and a hint of good for you.
Su Tang felt even more uncomfortable.
Su Xinyao's words sounded caring, but upon closer inspection, they hinted at an accusation that she was being reckless and reckless.
"Okay, I understand, Sister Xinyao."
Su Tang suppressed the strangeness in his heart, still with a faint smile on his face, but his tone was a little lighter.
"That's good."
Su Xinyao seemed very satisfied with Su Tang's teachings, and her smile deepened: "Did you just come back from Sister Zhang Cui's house?"
Su Tang nodded and said nothing more.
Seeing her silence, Su Xinyao nodded, her eyes quickly sweeping across the tightly clasped hands of Lu Xiao and Su Tang.
Something flashed in the depths of his eyes, so fast that it was impossible to catch it.
"So you guys are... going back?"
"Yeah, I'm getting ready to go back." Su Tang replied.
"Okay, then you guys should go back quickly, Su Tang needs to rest."
Su Xinyao said this considerately and handed the net bag in her hand forward.
"Take this apple, and don't be polite to me. Just consider it... a celebration of your recovery."
She smiled brightly, with a look of sincere blessing.
Su Tang looked at the apples in the net bag, and then looked at Su Xinyao's impeccable smile.
Rejection seems too abrupt, and acceptance feels uncomfortable.
Just when she hesitated, Lu Xiao spoke.
"You're so polite, Doctor Su. Su Tang doesn't like apples, but we appreciate your kindness."
He made the decision for Su Tang directly, his tone was unquestionable, and he didn't even give Su Xinyao a chance to refuse.
Su Xinyao's hand that was handing over the apple stopped in mid-air, and the smile on her face froze.
But he immediately returned to his natural state: "Then I won't force it."
She put the net bag away, still smiling: "You guys should go back quickly and be careful on the road. Su Tang, remember to get more rest. See you at work tomorrow."
"Thank you, see you tomorrow." Su Tang said goodbye politely.
Su Xinyao stood there, watching Lu Xiao carefully protecting Su Tang and the two of them leaving side by side.
The smile on her face faded little by little and finally disappeared, leaving only a calm, scrutinizing and calculating expression.
The northwest wind brought sand and dust, blowing the loose hair on her forehead. She gripped the handle of the net bag tightly, and her knuckles turned slightly white.
"Lu Xiao...it's really hard to approach."
She whispered to herself, so quietly that only she could hear it.
"But it doesn't matter. There's still a long way to go. Su Tang... my dear sister, I will take good care of your things for you."
A deep light flashed in her eyes, and then she turned around and walked in the opposite direction of Su Tang and the others. Her steps became light again, as if nothing had happened just now.
Over here, Lu Xiao took Su Tang by the hand and walked a distance away, away from Su Xinyao's sight. He then asked in a deep voice, "Did she say something else just now?"
Su Tang nodded softly, moved closer to him, and absorbed the reassuring scent from him.
"Like...she's giving me a lesson, but also like she's showing herself off in front of you."
She didn't mention the apple, but Lu Xiao's decisive refusal made her feel inexplicably warm in her heart.
"Um."
Lu Xiao responded without commenting much about Su Xinyao, but just held her hand tightly.
"Stay away from her from now on. I don't like the way she looks at you."
His military intuition told him that his smiling cousin had something hidden deep in her eyes.
It was as if he was in her pocket.
"I know."
Su Tang shook their clasped hands, trying to dispel the unpleasantness that had just occurred.
"But she's higher up than me, so it's inevitable that we'll come into contact at work."
"I'm here."
Lu Xiao's words were concise and to the point, but the two words carried a lot of weight.
The sunlight stretched the two people's shadows very long, snuggling together.
Su Tang secretly glanced at Lu Xiao's strong profile.
The slight gloom that had arisen just now due to Su Xinyao's appearance was completely dispelled by his brief words and the warmth of his palm.
She muttered quietly: "So...what you just said about wanting a child...does it still count?"
Lu Xiao suddenly stopped and looked at her sideways.
A scorching light instantly ignited in the man's deep eyes, and the suspicious blush on his ears crept up again.
His Adam's apple rolled, and his voice became low and hoarse, full of seriousness and nervousness.
"Of course it counts. I, Lu Xiao, never tell lies. Tangtang, are you...willing?"
He stopped and looked at her intently, waiting for her answer as if it was the most important thing in the world.
Su Tang's face suddenly turned red, like a ripe apple.
She quickly lowered her head, her fingers unconsciously twisting the corner of Lu Xiao's clothes, her heart beating like a drum.
This man... How could he be so straightforward even on something like this? How could she answer?
