Chapter 29 Xie Jingchen Wants to Help Xia Fanxing Personally
Xie Jingchen said, "Recently, the regimental headquarters needed to repair the irrigation canal, and the agricultural company sent a group of people to do the work. Because the task was quite heavy, it was in accordance with regulations and procedures to send one more person temporarily. But don't even think about getting a formal employee position. She won't get any of the various receipts and will only receive a meager salary, barely enough to eat and drink."
Ma Nanzheng looked worried. "An agricultural company? That's too hard."
Suddenly, he thought of something, chuckled, and leaned closer to Xie Jingchen, saying, "Commander, you can tell how amazing Comrade Xia's medical skills are just by looking at my condition. Since she's a doctor, why not have her be the medic for the agricultural company?"
"Nonsense!" Xie Jingchen shouted sternly.
Ma Nanzheng quickly shut up and closed his eyes to accept the scolding.
Xie Jingchen said, "The medic has the power to allocate medicines and medical resources in a company. This position is both sensitive and important, and it must be firmly held in the hands of 'our own people' with impeccable political background. Xia Fanxing's delicate background means that she could never become a medic."
"I'm sorry, Commander, I was wrong again." Ma Nanzheng lowered his head.
Xie Jingchen patted him on the shoulder to comfort him: "Zhengzi, I know you don't have bad intentions, you just want to repay a debt of gratitude, but the situation of your benefactor is really too complicated."
Ma Nanzheng didn't say anything more, but just sighed heavily.
"Let's go." Xie Jingchen stood up. "Go tell the production department to let Xia Fanxing join the agricultural company."
Ma Nanzheng was shocked: "Commander, you're going in person?"
Xie Jingchen originally wanted to have the communications soldier tell the story, but after thinking about it, he decided to go himself.
He feared that the communications soldiers and production staff would misunderstand his meaning and thus give Xia Fanxing unusual preferential treatment.
He wanted to make it clear that he only wanted to give Xia Fanxing a chance to survive in the military corps, not to help her live a good life.
·
Xia Fanxing stood near the command post waiting, and soon saw Xie Jingchen and Ma Nanzheng walk out one after the other.
This time, without Qiao Feitian present, it was her first face-to-face meeting with Xie Jingchen.
She appeared calm and composed on the surface, but as Xie Jingchen approached, her heart began to beat faster uncontrollably, and her cheeks seemed to flush with a light pink.
Xie Jingchen has a handsome face with a cold and resolute expression.
He had prominent brow bones, thick, dark eyebrows, and a sharp, cold jawline.
His long, dark eyes had a sharp, calm, and penetrating gaze.
There were fine wrinkles between his eyebrows, caused by long periods of frowning and thinking.
“Hello, Comrade Xia, I am Xie Jingchen.” He extended his hand.
"Hello, Commander Xie, I am Xia Fanxing." She shook hands.
The contrast between Xia Fanxing's fair and delicate skin and Xie Jingchen's rough, bronze skin, exposed to the elements year-round, creates a highly sexually charged scene.
Xie Jingchen's brow twitched, and vague fragments of memory flashed before his eyes.
It was a dazzling white, smooth and warm to the touch, like touching a piece of fine mutton fat jade.
As he lay on his back, small beads of sweat mixed with a cool, faint fragrance landed on the corner of his lips. As if mesmerized, he unconsciously used the tip of his tongue to roll up and taste it.
Even the saltiness of sweat turned into an extreme sweetness...
"Commander, Commander!" Ma Nanzheng's voice pulled Xie Jingchen back to reality.
Ma Nanzheng maintained a smile for Xia Fanxing, his lips remaining still, but the words were squeezed out through clenched teeth, his eyes and twitching eyebrows gesturing to Xie Jingchen—
"Let go, Commander!"
Xie Jingchen then realized that he had been holding Xia Fanxing's hand the whole time.
He quickly let go and apologized, "I'm sorry."
Ma Nanzheng tried his best to make amends for Xie Jingchen: "Oh, well, the regimental commander has been too busy lately and hasn't had enough rest. He probably just dozed off. Comrade Xia, please don't mind."
"It's alright." Xia Fanxing smiled faintly. "Thank you, Commander Xie, for your service to the country and its people, but please take care of your health as well."
"Thank you." Xie Jingchen looked at her with deep, dark eyes.
Unlike Xia Fanxing and Qiao Feitian, who dressed up in a high-profile manner, she was very low-key.
The cotton-padded jacket was neither new nor old, and the color was the most ordinary gray-blue. There was no cover-up, and the black scarf was already pilling.
Her long hair was casually tied into a low ponytail and hung down her back without any extra embellishments; in fact, none of her clothes were particularly colorful.
But she was born with fair skin, rosy lips, clear black and white eyes like jade, and pale pink cheeks like peach blossoms.
No matter how low-key she is, it's hard to hide her cool and otherworldly beauty.
"Let's go." Xie Jingchen withdrew his gaze and took the lead in walking towards the production department.
Xia Fanxing and Ma Nanzheng walked a few steps behind him, side by side.
Ma Nanzheng leaned closer to Xia Fanxing to explain the situation, "...So you can't be a medic, so you'll have to go to the agricultural company for now. I've only been here a short time. Once I've established myself at the regimental headquarters, I'll try to use my connections to transfer you to another company. Just bear with it for now."
Xia Fanxing shook her head, "It's okay. I'm already very grateful to have the opportunity to stay in the Corps. You've finally come back, don't let your desire to help me become a burden to you."
"What burden? You're saying that again! If you keep saying that, I'll get angry!"
Ma Nanzheng turned his head away, pretending to ignore Xia Fanxing.
Xia Fanxing found it amusing, but quickly noticed his thin, bony neck and her smile faded.
Judging from Xie Jingchen's attitude, it was clear that Ma Nanzheng had worked very hard to get this opportunity for her, and she couldn't possibly accept his kindness so easily.
After her previous treatments, Ma Nanzheng was only able to take care of herself.
He used to be as strong as a bear, but now he's thinner than a monkey.
It's not just a matter of food and drink; more importantly, the body can't absorb most of the nutrients, only enough to maintain basic functions.
But if Ma Nanzheng wants to achieve something in the Corps, being able to take care of himself is far from enough.
Therefore, Xia Fanxing decided to secretly help Ma Nanzheng recover his health.
This way, she won't feel any more indebtedness to Ma Nanzheng, and she can accept Ma Nanzheng's kindness without hesitation.
"Alright, alright, Staff Officer Ma is right, I won't mention it again."
Xia Fanxing made a needle-threading motion with her mouth, which made Ma Nanzheng burst out laughing.
Although Xie Jingchen was walking ahead, he wasn't actually that far away, so he could naturally hear the two of them laughing and joking.
For some reason, he felt a strange sense of irritation.
Xie Jingchen turned around, his brow furrowed slightly as he looked at Ma Nanzheng. "Staff Officer Ma, do you think your current position is appropriate? You should keep a proper distance from female comrades!"
