Song Shishi kept her head down eating noodles, pretending not to notice Meng Xunzhou's actions.
Perhaps because she ate too quickly, Song Shishi was not paying attention and the noodles went into her trachea.
She tilted her head to one side and coughed desperately, and her fair cheeks soon turned red.
Meng Xunzhou's reaction was almost subconscious.
He stood up, his palms empty, and patted Song Shishi on the back twice.
Seeing that Song Shishi's cough had eased, he asked the shop owner for a glass of warm water.
"Come, drink some water."
Song Shishi wanted to reach out to take it, but Meng Xunzhou dodged her and insisted on feeding her himself.
Song Shishi felt a tightness in her chest at this moment. She could only pat her chest lightly and swallow the water with the help of Meng Xunzhou's hand.
...
...
The shop owner came over and saw that Song Shishi was much better. He smiled and said, "Oh, girl, your husband is so good to you. You didn't see how anxious he was just now. It's really enviable."
"That we don't..."
Song Shishi was about to explain to the store owner that she and Meng Xunzhou were not husband and wife, but she was interrupted by Meng Xunzhou as soon as she opened her mouth.
Meng Xunzhou took out some money from his pocket and handed it to the shop owner, saying, "Boss, thank you so much today."
"No need to thank me, I didn't do anything." The shop owner took the money with a smile on his face.
Until Song Shishi and Meng Xunzhou walked away, he was still muttering: "This young couple is really good-looking and well-matched."
"Boss, a bowl of plain noodles."
"Hey, coming right up."
…
Meng Xunzhou sent Song Shishi back to the hospital and went straight back to the compound.
Today is the Lantern Festival, a day for family reunion. He has to go back no matter what. Otherwise, his mother will be sad and his father will chase him to the army and beat him.
As soon as Meng Xunzhou entered the house, before he saw anyone, he heard his mother Fu Shuxian's voice coming from the living room.
"Is Xunzhou back?"
"Mom, it's me!" Meng Xunzhou responded.
He was a quiet kid, and every time he came home, Fu Shuxian would habitually ask him this question, but at that time he was like a mute and didn't respond.
So people in the compound often saw Meng Xunzhou's mother Fu Shuxian chasing him with a rattan stick, scolding him as soon as he returned home.
But no matter how many times he was hit, he would not respond.
Even so, Fu Shuxian still asks this question every time.
Meng Xunzhou placed all the snacks, candies, etc. in his hand on the big table.
Meng Xiaoqi sat next to Fu Shuxian, looking at him with a smile.
As soon as Fu Shuxian saw Meng Xunzhou, she started complaining, "You are already an adult. What's the point of being in the army all day long? I finally picked such a good daughter-in-law for you, why don't you take the initiative?"
"Shishi has started working in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs now. There are many young talents there. Don't come to me and cry if your wife gets kidnapped. I won't help you."
Fu Shuxian said harsh words, but her eyes were secretly observing Meng Xunzhou's expression.
She didn't want to test her son in this way.
But who made her son Meng Xunzhou like a piece of wood since childhood and slow in understanding?
Seeing that Fu Shuxian was about to get angry, Meng Xunzhou put his arm around Fu Shuxian's shoulders and said softly, "Mom, don't worry. I know what's going on. She can't run away."
"What did you say?"
Fu Shuxian couldn't believe that the words just came from her own son's mouth.
You know, Meng Xunzhou has never shown any interest in that girl.
The only woman Meng Xunzhou has a good relationship with is Song Shishi.
Ever since Song Shishi started to distance herself from Meng Xunzhou, he became quiet again.
Thinking of this, Fu Shuxian finally reacted.
No wonder her son came back more frequently this year, it turned out he had other intentions.
This obviously means he is interested in Song Shishi.
The more Fu Shuxian thought about it, the more excited she became. She wanted to tell everyone in her family about this discovery.
But thinking that Meng Xunzhou might not have caught up with Song Shishi yet, Fu Shuxian suppressed her desire to share.
"It doesn't matter if you didn't hear it."
Meng Xunzhou didn't fall for Fu Shuxian's trick at all. He sat on the single sofa next to her, grabbed the melon seeds on the coffee table, and stared at the black and white TV with Meng Xiaoqi, watching the program on it.
Fu Shuxian naturally understood her son's temperament and did not ask any more questions.
"By the way, there will be a lantern festival tonight. Take Xiaoqi to play on the street. She studies every day, so it's time for her to relax."
"Okay." Meng Xunzhou nodded in agreement.
Meng Xiaoqi rolled her eyes and leaned towards Meng Xunzhou, "Brother, will Sister Shishi join us tonight?"
"Um."
Meng Xunzhou was watching the show without thinking much. When he heard Meng Xiaoqi's question, he responded subconsciously.
But as soon as he opened his mouth, he immediately reacted.
Turning his head to look at Meng Xiaoqi who was covering her mouth and laughing, Meng Xunzhou stretched out his index finger and tapped her forehead.
"Are you trying to get me to talk here?"
"Hey, brother, it's too boring to play at home. Why don't we go call Sister Shishi to go to the ice rink to play together?"
Fu Shuxian seldom gives Meng Xiaoqi a day off, so she has to seize the opportunity to go out and have some fun. Why would she be willing to stay at home obediently until the evening?
Meng Xunzhou glanced at her sideways and said, "Your sister Shishi is busy and can't go. If you are really bored, go back to your room and do your homework."
Meng Xiaoqi was so angry that her cheeks puffed up and she glared at Meng Xunzhou, but she didn't dare to say a word of "no".
…
In the afternoon, Song Shishi and Su Yaqin were afraid of disturbing other patients in the ward, so they went directly to the hospital cafeteria, found an empty table, and discussed the design drawings.
Li Chengde is much better now.
After taking the medicine prescribed by the doctor, the dizziness symptoms no longer exist.
However, Su Yaqin and the others were still worried and insisted that he lie down and rest.
Xu Li was taking care of Li Haoyang and entertaining him.
When Li Haoyang got tired of playing, she would hold him and coax him to sleep.
After Song Shishi and Su Yaqin finished talking, when they returned to the ward, Song Shishi saw Uncle Zuo, who had been alone, and a young man was standing beside his bed.
She didn't care much at first, but when she walked to Li Chengde's bedside and looked up to see the young man's face clearly, Song Shishi was shocked and grabbed Su Yaqin's hand beside her.
It is true that after searching for a long time, you can finally find it without any effort.
Su Yaqin didn't understand and asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"
Uncle Zuo also turned around and looked over.
Seeing Song Shishi looking at the young man next to him, he smiled and introduced him to them: "This is my grandson. He heard that I was in the hospital and came to see me."
I have become more familiar with Uncle Zuo in the past two days.
Song Shishi and the others nodded to Uncle Zuo's grandson as a greeting.
"Hello, my name is Zuo Jin. I heard from Grandpa that you guys took good care of him. Thank you so much."
Zuo Jin said this, placing his hands at his sides and bowing solemnly to Su Yaqin and Li Chengde.
Su Yaqin had already sat on the stool beside the bed, but when she saw him like this, she quickly stood up and moved away.
"We didn't do anything, no need to thank me."
It was not until Zuo Jin left that Song Shishi found an excuse and chased after him.
Zuo Jin walked fast, and Song Shishi chased him all the way to the hospital entrance. Seeing that Zuo Jin was about to go away, she hurriedly called out to stop Zuo Jin.
"Comrade Zuo Jin, wait a moment!"
