Chapter 209 I'm going to join the army!
"Aunt Wu, now that Xiao Jin is awake, why don't you go and cook some porridge for her?" Xiao Yunfeng interrupted Aunt Wu, then took the medicine from her hand.
Aunt Wu nodded quickly, agreeing that she should eat something to recover faster.
A moment later, only Xiao Yunfeng and Su Jin remained in the room.
"Here, drink your medicine."
Xiao Yunfeng personally took the spoon, tested the temperature, and then put the medicine to her lips.
Su Jin propped herself up, trying to create some distance between herself and him.
But Xiao Yunfeng said domineeringly, "If you spill the medicine, you'll have to trouble Aunt Wu again. Aunt Wu hasn't slept a wink all night."
After saying that, without giving her a chance to refuse, he gestured, "Open your mouth."
Su Jin had no choice but to obediently cooperate.
The medicine was very bitter, causing her facial features to contort in pain.
After she finished drinking all the medicine, Xiao Yunfeng took out a piece of fruit candy from his pocket.
Su Jin asked instinctively, "Uncle, why do you always carry candy with you?"
She was like that last night when she drank ginger soup.
Xiao Yunfeng didn't explain, he just told her to lie down again.
Su Jin shook her head. "I'm not sleepy at all right now."
My head is still a little dizzy.
Xiao Yunfeng didn't force her. He placed the empty medicine bowl on the bedside table next to him, then sat back down on the bed and stared at her intently.
Su Jin felt somewhat guilty.
Fortunately, Xiao Yunfeng spoke up quickly, "Uncle knows you're sad, and I allow you to be sad. But don't be sad for too long, you should cheer up soon."
Su Jin looked into his eyes and saw the tenderness in them, an emotion that came from the bottom of his heart.
The chill in her heart was mostly dispelled, and she nodded, "Don't worry, Uncle, I'll get better soon."
Xiao Yunfeng, whose heart had been tense all night, finally relaxed and affectionately ruffled her hair.
He used to do this when he was happy, but only occasionally.
Su Jin felt awkward and resistant as she tried to pull away from his touch.
However, Xiao Yunfeng had already withdrawn his hand before she could make a move.
"Isn't Uncle going to the army?"
She glanced at the time and realized it was almost ten o'clock.
Xiao Yunfeng: "I'm taking a break today."
Was it to take care of her?
Su Jin swallowed back the words that were on the tip of her tongue.
"Uncle, you said before that if there's anything I want to do, I can tell you. Does that still stand?"
Xiao Yunfeng didn't expect her to suddenly say something like that.
"Of course it counts. What do you want to do?"
With his abilities, he could accomplish whatever she wanted.
Su Jin's eyes flickered slightly, and after a few seconds of silence, she made no further hesitation.
"I want to join the army with Guan An and the others."
A look of astonishment appeared on Xiao Yunfeng's face; he never expected her to have such a thought.
"Serving in the army is tough, and your uncle doesn't want you to suffer like that."
Actually, she doesn't need to do anything; he can support her for the rest of her life.
Su Jin said firmly, "I'm not afraid of hardship, I just want to be a soldier."
The deaths of her parents are shrouded in mystery, and given her current situation, she has no way of investigating the truth of what happened back then.
So she chose to join the army, because only when she stood high enough could she have the ability to do everything she wanted.
The deliberate mention of wanting to be with Guan An and the others was also to avoid arousing Xiao Yunfeng's suspicion.
After all, she and Guan An grew up together, and choosing to be with them would make people feel that she was considering their friendship.
Moreover, she had heard from them that the action team, personally formed by Shi Kang, was a mixed-gender team, which was her best opportunity at the moment.
