Nurse Xiaomei, carrying a lunchbox, glanced at the food Jing An'an was eating and smiled at Doctor Wang, saying, "Doctor, it seems we brought too much."
"Then keep it for a midnight snack." Doctor Wang replied, then looked at Hengxi, nodded and smiled, "You've got some conscience after all. This must have been made by the Commander's cook."
"Otherwise, you would have blamed me to death," Xiang Hengxi joked with the old military doctor.
Doctor Wang smiled. Xiao Mei noticed that Jing An'an didn't have a spoon to drink the soup, so she found a spoon and handed it to her.
When Xiang Hengxi saw Jing An'an using that spoon to drink her soup, he suddenly realized why she hadn't drunk any soup earlier. Soldiers like them didn't have many fussy rules; sometimes when training in the field, they'd use twigs as chopsticks, and they ate only the rations available for marching.
Even when eating in the cafeteria, everyone just picks up a spoon and drinks; there's no such thing as using a spoon.
She's a girl, after all.
Jing An'an ate in small bites, but very quickly, and soon the meal was completely finished.
Seeing that Hengxi had a good appetite, Xiang Hengxi felt somewhat relieved.
After resting for a while, Dr. Wang took her temperature again, and the fever had subsided to 37.8 degrees Celsius.
"Take this medicine three times a day, and this medicine twice a day." Doctor Wang wrote it on the medicine box, put it in a small bag, and instructed Jing An'an. Then he turned to look at Xiang Hengxi, but still spoke to Jing An'an, "The most important thing is to pay attention to rest and not over-train."
Xiang Hengxi smiled helplessly, knowing that these words were meant for him, and replied, "I will pay attention to her training volume."
"Thank you, Dr. Wang." Jing An'an's voice was much better than when she first woke up, but it still sounded weak.
She got out of bed, put on her sneakers, bent over and then stood up, only to feel dizzy.
Xiang Hengxi quickly reached out and put his arm around her, momentarily forgetting about her height. As a result, his arm touched her chest.
The sensation startled him, and he quickly withdrew his arm.
Jing An'an held her forehead and stood still for a while before she recovered, not noticing his actions just now.
She thanked the doctors and nurses again and left the medical room.
Xiang Hengxi followed with the lunchbox. It was the season of transition from autumn to winter, and a cold wind blew in as soon as they went outside. He saw Jing An'an shrink back, so he walked in front of her to shield her from the wind.
Jing An'an didn't understand his good intentions. She just thought he was annoying, so tall that he was like a small mountain, and he was blocking her light.
There was only two streetlights on the long road. He was blocking her way, so she couldn't see the road at all and could only follow his footsteps.
Because of the grudge she had formed that afternoon, she harbored some resentment, so she deliberately lagged behind a few steps and stepped on his reflection, satisfying her desire for revenge.
To her surprise, he suddenly came to his senses. She looked up as the reflection stopped.
He looked at her with a half-smile and asked, "Is it fun?"
Jing An'an knew she had been caught, but she remained calm and expressionless, saying indifferently, "I don't know what you're talking about."
She looked so serious that if Xiang Hengxi hadn't been so good at counter-surveillance, he might have actually believed it was unintentional.
He chuckled. In any case, this delicate girl had a good mentality. She wasn't afraid of him at all and could lie to him without batting an eye. That was a skill in itself.
