Si Yang walked back to Fu Mengnan with the casserole, and suddenly squatted down and placed the boiling hot casserole directly on the foot that Fu Mengnan stretched out to try to trip her.
"Ah! Are you crazy?" Fu Mengnan screamed in pain. When she pulled her foot back suddenly, the spilled soup splashed on her foot again.
Because she was wearing sandals, a large area on the back of her foot suddenly became hot and red, and tiny blisters were about to appear.
Si Yang picked up the casserole again and gave her a cold smile, "You seem quite thick-skinned, but the skin on your feet is still not good enough! This time is a warning. If you do it again, I will pour the soup over your head."
"What did you say?"
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it." Si Yang pinched his throat, turned around and walked away.
Behind her was Fu Mengnan's resentful eyes. Her instep was burning with pain, and within a few minutes, a bunch of blisters of various sizes appeared.
Si Yang returned to the ward and placed the casserole on a cabinet lined with a rag. As soon as he opened the lid, a mouth-watering aroma wafted through the ward.
"What are you stewing? It smells so good." Pei Tingyu smiled with his eyebrows curved, and the happiness in his eyes was about to overflow.
"Don't they say that what you eat nourishes what you lack? I made some bone soup for you." Si Yang scooped out a bowl of meat and bones from the casserole.
Pei Tingyu turned his head and saw the translucent blister on her left index finger with his sharp eyes.
His handsome brows furrowed, and the smile in his eyes suddenly disappeared. "Is your hand burned? Let me see!"
"It's okay, I'll just apply some ointment." Si Yang had a special ointment for external injuries in her hand, and she planned to deal with it later.
Pei Tingyu couldn't bend his arms, but he insisted on seeing her injuries.
Si Yang's hands were naturally slender, and she kept them fair and tender, so a small blister looked shocking.
Pei Tingyu's brows furrowed tighter and tighter, and the pain in his eyes became more and more obvious. "Don't go to the kitchen next time. Just get the ready-made food in the cafeteria. Your hands are not suitable for those..."
"Oh~ Even if she is the eldest daughter of a capitalist, she is not allowed to enter the kitchen, right? A small blister is like it can take her life. It is said that some female comrades are too delicate and cannot bear any hardship. How can they talk about revolution?" Fu Mengnan's voice suddenly sounded at the door of the ward.
"Why are you here?" Pei Tingyu's face immediately darkened when he saw Fu Mengnan.
Fu Mengnan ignored his annoyance and walked in on her own.
"Let me ask you, do you know how vicious your seemingly virtuous partner is actually?" Fu Mengnan said as he lifted his burned foot and put it on the chair.
Si Yang could see the fist-sized blister on the back of her foot from afar. It was much worse than the small blister on his finger.
She withdrew her gaze and looked at Pei Tingyu. He glanced at Fu Mengnan's injured foot and frowned in confusion.
"What does your injury have to do with Yangyang?" His cold tone was indifferent and distant.
When Fu Mengnan heard the affectionate word "Yangyang" from his mouth, her heart suddenly tightened and her tone became angry and unfriendly.
"She burned my feet on purpose. If she's your girlfriend, we'll be military dependents in the future. But with her character, is she really worthy of standing by your side? Or is our Captain Pei just a superficial person who only cares about looks?"
Si Yang met Fu Mengnan's gaze. The moment their eyes met, the provocation in Fu Mengnan's eyes flashed again.
Si Yang was about to tell Pei Tingyu the truth when he heard him speak first: "Although I don't know the inside story of this matter, based on my understanding of Yangyang, if your foot injury was really caused by her on purpose, then you must have done something to upset her first, otherwise she wouldn't bother you for no reason."
"You..." Fu Mengnan choked. It was indeed he who wanted to trip Si Yang first.
Si Yang gave her little wolfhound a thumbs up in her heart. It felt so good to be trusted unconditionally.
Fu Mengnan saw that the two men were not affected by her at all, and Pei Tingyu even grabbed Si Yang's hand to apply medicine for her.
This scene irritated Fu Mengnan so much that he was burning with jealousy. "Hmph, I told you these female comrades are just squeamish. They act like they can't live anymore over the slightest injury or pain. Where's the revolutionary spirit of enduring hardship and perseverance?"
