Ji Qingzhou made a "tsk" sound and pursed his lips in grievance, imitating Ji Qingwan's previous green tea look.
"Okay, okay, now you're distracted and don't want to listen to me, right? You really don't love me anymore."
After saying this, Ji Qingwan slowly turned her gaze back and smiled a little unnaturally.
“No, no…”
After saying that, he turned his head and glanced at her intentionally or unintentionally, then walked forward silently.
Ji Qingzhou: ???
If this had happened in the past, Ji Qingwan would have had to use her green tea skills and engage in a verbal battle with her for eight hundred rounds.
It's abnormal, very abnormal.
Ji Qingzhou narrowed his eyes, looked in the direction of Ji Qingwan's gaze, and understood instantly.
In that direction is the internal hospital of the military compound.
Ji Qingwan is thinking about someone in her heart.
Thinking of Xiao Shuo's current situation and his attitude towards his sister, Ji Qingzhou felt helpless.
She sighed.
"Don't worry, Xiao Shuo's condition has stabilized now. He is preparing for a corneal transplant. There is a high probability that he will be able to see the light of day again."
Ji Qingwan didn't expect Ji Qingzhou to expose her thoughts so directly. She lowered her eyes awkwardly and sighed after a moment.
"That's good."
Seeing that there was no further follow-up, Ji Qingzhou couldn't help but remind him.
"If you're worried, you can go check on him."
Ji Qingwan's eyes lit up for a moment, then dimmed again.
"But I don't know any medical skills, so I can't do anything. I'm afraid I might even make things worse."
Ji Qingzhou felt even more helpless.
Ji Qingwan and Xiao Shuo, one was cautious and the other was afraid of becoming a burden to the other, so neither dared to get close to the other.
But in fact, they clearly have feelings for each other.
We still have to create some opportunities for them.
As it happened, they had already reached the door of their home while talking.
The kitchen window was open, and Ye Lanqing waved to them with a smile.
"You're back. I've already prepared food for Xiao Shuo. I've even left some in the pot. Come and eat. I'll go to the hospital to deliver the food."
Ji Qingzhou rolled his eyes, nudged Ji Qingwan with his elbow, and gave him a wink.
"Who said you can't help?"
Ji Qingwan understood instantly and mustered up the courage to step forward and take the lunch box.
"Auntie, let me help you bring the food."
After taking the lunch box, Ji Qingwan hurried towards the hospital.
But halfway through the walk, he turned back, his courage mostly gone, his face frowning in embarrassment.
"Qingzhou, I'm alone... I'm a little nervous."
Ji Qingzhou smiled and shook his head, thinking it would be better to go with his sister.
With Ji Qingzhou by her side, Ji Qingwan felt much more confident and pushed open the door of the ward and walked in without hesitation.
However, when I turned around, I found that the person next to me didn't come in.
Meeting his sister's pleading gaze, Ji Qingzhou stood outside the door, smiled, clenched his fist and made a gesture of encouragement.
"You can do it, come on, I'll wait for you outside."
After saying that, he even considerately closed the door for his sister.
Ji Qingwan stood at the door, not knowing whether to go in or not, and closed her eyes in annoyance.
Xiao Shuo had already heard her voice.
"Is it Miss Ji, Ji Qingwan?"
"It's me."
Afraid that he would be embarrassed, she quickly walked over and put the lunch box down, smiling and explaining to smooth things over.
"I've been staying at my sister's place these days, so I thought I'd help out. Aunt Ye and I will take turns bringing you meals."
Xiao Shuo nodded: "Thank you for your hard work."
Ji Qingwan said "It's not hard", and didn't know what to say next. She quickly brought the food to him and used actions to cover up her embarrassment.
The food had been served for a long time, but Xiao Shuo still didn't move.
Ji Qingwan asked tentatively: "Why don't you eat it? Is it not to your taste?"
Xiao Shuo fumbled to pick up the rice, turned to Ji Qingwan, and asked with a surprised smile:
"So we're going to eat pilaf today?"
As he spoke, Xiao Shuo stretched out his hand and made a grasping gesture.
Ji Qingwan was stunned for a second before she reacted and quickly took out the tableware prepared in the cloth bag and handed it to him.
Ji Qingwan couldn't help laughing at her own stupidity.
"I'm so sorry I forgot about this."
The awkward atmosphere was broken instantly, Xiao Shuo smiled kindly and shook his head to indicate that it was okay.
"Although I'm joking, eating rice with your hands is a common thing on the battlefield. It's okay if you really want to eat it."
Ji Qingwan looked at him in surprise.
"Do you often eat rice with your hands on the battlefield?"
Xiao Shuo nodded: "Yes, there are so many soldiers in the barracks, so there will inevitably not be enough tableware."
"For us at that time, eating was just a way to stay alive. It didn't matter what we ate, as long as we could eat it."
Ji Qingwan had never heard anyone talk about these things before, and she was very curious, so she asked many questions.
Xiao Shuo was also happy that someone wanted to chat with him, and answered all the questions patiently.
The two of them ate and chatted, and gradually became familiar with each other.
But Ji Qingwan was too interested, and the questions she asked were too cute.
Xiao Shuo laughed and subconsciously reached out to pat the other person on the head.
"Why do you have so many strange questions in your little head?"
After saying this, both of them were stunned.
Ji Qingwan felt as if an electric shock had passed through her body, as if she had returned to her childhood in an instant.
As a child, she was always curious about the world.
After the neighbor's brother patiently answered her questions, he would always pat her on the head like this, and smile and sigh that she had many wonderful ideas.
This feeling is so familiar.
Ji Qingwan looked at the pair of eyes covered with gauze, and the questions that she had been afraid to answer for a long time suddenly came to her mind.
Could he... be the same person he was when he was a child?
But how should she ask?
Mentioning childhood will inevitably remind the other person of their parents who passed away early... Isn't this just exposing someone's scars?
Before Ji Qingwan could figure out how to ask, she saw Xiao Shuo, who had been in a daze just now, come back to his senses and immediately withdrew his hand.
"Feel sorry."
Xiao Shuo was secretly annoyed.
Why did he suddenly reach out and pat the girl on the head?
But the feeling of being chased and asked questions is really familiar.
Ji Qingwan quickly shook her head.
"It's okay. Actually, your actions just now reminded me of..."
She mustered up her courage and was about to ask her question, but her eyes inadvertently glanced downward and her brows furrowed.
"Ouch, why does the back of your hand look swollen?!"
Xiao Shuo reached out and touched it, saying, "It's okay. The back of your hand gets swollen easily due to frequent needle insertion."
Ji Qingwan nervously stood up immediately and tried to pull it out for him in a panic, but she was afraid that her unprofessional technique would hurt him.
"Wait a minute, I'll go call a doctor!"
Before Xiao Shuo could stop her, the little girl ran out the door.
After a moment, Ji Qingzhou took out the infusion needle neatly.
Ji Qingwan stared at it nervously without blinking.
"How is it? Is it serious? The back of your hand is swollen. Do you need to apply some medicine? Tell me the name and I'll go to the pharmacy downstairs to get it!"
