Seeing the seriousness in Sheng Yi's expression, Zhu Qinghao felt a warmth in her heart and nodded earnestly in return.
"Okay, then I hope that Brother Shengyi will also be healthy and safe, and that the injury on his hand will heal quickly."
Sheng Yi couldn't understand how this person in front of him could be so good at touching the softest part of his heart.
Unable to find an answer, he sighed softly, stepped forward again, and pulled the person into his arms.
This time, Zhu Qinghao neither dodged nor struggled. She leaned closer to him peacefully, and smelling the fresh scent of soap on Sheng Yi's shirt, she felt as if time had slowed down.
Sheng Yi was the same; nightmares tormented him all night. Only at this moment, with the clear touch on his body and the unique scent of Zhu Qinghao lingering around his nose, did he truly feel at ease.
"Okay, then I'll get better quickly and protect you well from now on, so I'll never let those people hurt you again."
The two embraced quietly, as if they had found a haven where they could rest and savor every second.
After a while, Sheng Yi took the initiative to change the subject:
"Okay, what do you want to eat for breakfast? I'll make it for you."
Zhu Qinghao looked around the house, somewhat embarrassed.
It seems there's nothing in the house except rice and flour.
Then she thought of her own vegetable garden. It had only been half a month. Surely there must be some vegetables left?
"I need to go to the vegetable garden first to see if there are any edible vegetables. It seems like we have nothing but rice and flour at home."
Once outside, Zhu Qinghao discovered that her vegetable garden was thriving. Many of the small greens she had casually scattered had grown into small seedlings, some about the size of her little finger.
It's far from being fully grown, but Zhu Qinghao likes this kind of young bok choy in its current state. It tastes great whether used to cook noodles or stir-fry.
"Brother Shengyi, shall we cook noodles? No need to roll them out, let's just have dried noodles and cook some bok choy in them."
Sheng Yi knew what she was worried about, but his left hand really couldn't hold up right now, so he agreed.
"Okay, then we'll have noodles. Do you have any eggs at home? If so, I'll cook you egg noodles."
Eggs are available, and even if they aren't, they can be taken out at any time.
"Yes, yes, I'll go get it for you."
"It's okay, you go ahead and pick the vegetables. I'll go get them myself; I can find them."
As the two were talking, Si Tian probably overheard their conversation. She wiped her face with a towel and walked out.
"well?"
He was clearly taken aback when he saw Sheng Yi.
"Hey? Dr. Jiang? What are you doing here? Didn't you go back to the army? You're on leave again so soon?"
Sheng Yi glanced at Zhu Qinghao, and after confirming that the other party's eyes were full of smiles and that she had no intention of hiding anything, he cleared his throat.
"Ahem, Comrade Si Tian, hello. Let's get to know each other again. I am Sheng Yi, and also Comrade Zhu Qinghao's fiancé."
Si Tian initially found it a bit confusing, but her eyes widened when she heard what followed.
What? What did she hear?
fiancé? !
Seeing the shock in her eyes, Zhu Qinghao smiled and nodded, acknowledging Sheng Yi's statement.
