Chapter 48: Old Cow Eating Young Grass
"Auntie's cooking skills are really amazing. I felt a little hungry as soon as you opened the lid." Xiao Jingyan said sweetly.
No wonder Wang Xiaoli likes him so much. There is a reason for this. Who doesn’t like a sweet-talking junior? The most important thing is that what he says is true and his praise is not hypocritical at all.
"Don't worry, I will tell my mother what you said when I get home. She will be very happy to know that you like the soup she stews."
He picked up the bowl and spoon, got ready, scooped a spoonful of soup from the bowl with the iron spoon, blew on it gently, and handed the spoon to Xiao Jingyan's mouth.
Xiao Jingyan looked at the spoon handed to him, put the spoon in his mouth, and drank the spoonful of soup into his mouth.
She was also the first woman other than his mother to feed him.
But after taking just one sip, he reached out to take the bowl and spoon from Lin Nuan's hands.
"I'm recovering well. I don't need to be fed yet. Just give me the drink and I can drink it myself."
Lin Nuan looked at him uncertainly.
"You're sure you can do it."
Which man would say he is incompetent?
Even if it doesn't work, it has to work.
Xiao Jingyan demonstrated with his actions that he was really capable. After taking the bowl, he did not even reach for the spoon. He blew on the bowl a few times and in less than a minute, he had finished the small bowl of soup. When he saw that there was no more soup in the bowl, Ni Nuan would take the thermos bucket and refill it for him.
Seeing how fast he drank the soup, Lin Nuan felt that he had an iron mouth. Wasn't he afraid of the heat?
While refilling the soup, she also reminded him to slow down. You know, the soup was just taken out of the pot, so it was sizzling hot. It was in the insulated box all the way, so the soup was still steaming.
"Drink slowly. Be careful of the heat. No one is going to snatch it from you."
Xiao Jingyan felt that his behavior just now was a bit - stupid, and he didn't understand why he suddenly became stupid.
"Oh, I forgot to ask you just now, have you had lunch? Okay, how about we drink together?"
She couldn't do such a thing as snatching food from a patient. Besides, the chicken for the chicken soup was not served yet.
After all, it’s sick food now, and chicken soup is okay, but you should eat less greasy chicken and other things.
"You drink soup and I eat meat at home, so you can drink it without worry, I have already eaten before I came here."
When he finished the chicken soup in the thermos, there were still a few pieces of chicken and a dozen red dates. He even ate the wolfberries in it and ate them all.
After eating, Xiao Jingyan burped and felt a little embarrassed.
"I drank white porridge last night and white porridge again this morning. I feel like my mouth is almost filled with..."
"Aunt's cooking is still the best."
Lin Nuan saw it before she came. Xiao Jingyan was the only one in the ward. It was impossible for He Yunzhou not to arrange for someone to stay in the hospital, but she had been here for such a long time and didn't see anyone!
She asked doubtfully, "Didn't my dad arrange for someone to stay and take care of you?"
"Yes, he went home to get a change of clothes. He should be back soon."
Lin Nuan nodded, as long as someone takes care of her.
The meals in the hospital are indeed very light - patient meals.
Eating plain porridge every day would definitely leave no taste in your mouth. If she were in his shoes, she wouldn’t want to eat it either.
It takes a long time to deliver breakfast, but she can't get up early.
Dinner is something you can consider.
If she stewed some medicinal food and sent it to him every day, Xiao Jingyan would recover quickly, and she could then attribute it to the medicinal food.
"How about I bring you lunch and dinner before you leave the hospital? You can just eat something in the hospital in the morning. You know I like to sleep in, so I really can't get up in the morning."
Xiao Jingyan smiled as he looked at her serious expression. She was the only one who could talk about sleeping in so confidently.
It’s troublesome enough to deliver a meal at noon, and it’s even more troublesome to deliver it in the evening.
And he was worried about her coming and going at night.
"Just send me a meal at noon, and I can eat dinner at the hospital. The round trip is quite far, so there's no need to run back and forth."
Lin Nuan knew what he was worried about and wanted to say it was okay, but even if she did, no one would feel at ease.
While the two were talking, someone opened the door of the ward and walked in. The sound came in before the person came in.
"Old Xiao, you must be hungry! I asked my mom to make you some chicken soup, and I'll give it to you..."
Before he could finish his words, he saw Lin Nuan sitting next to the bed.
Then his affairs went back and forth between Xiao Jingyan and Lin Nuan.
Lao Xiao is a very talented person, but isn't this little girl too young?
This is an old cow eating young grass!
But this little girl is really beautiful.
They have been brothers together for several years, and Xiao Jingyan can guess what Wu Chen is thinking just by looking at his expression.
Worried that he might talk nonsense, she immediately introduced the two of them.
"I've already eaten. Come back and thank Auntie for me. Let me introduce you. This is my master's daughter, Lin Nuan."
"Nuannuan, this is Wu Chen who takes care of me. He is my teammate and my good brother."
Lin Nuan felt that he looked familiar. He should be one of the five people standing at the door of the emergency room that day.
"Hello, Brother Wu."
Wu Chen smiled innocently, "It turns out to be Miss Nuan Nuan, hello, hello!"
