"Are you busy at work?"
"I'm just worried." Chang Ya didn't want to bother anyone here, but she was unsure.
I know very well what she did behind my back.
Chi Fangping rested her arms on the table, her hands crossed and her chin supported, "Just go to work with peace of mind. Since you have reconciled with Ji Ling, she will not pursue what you have done."
Chang Ya blushed and lowered her head. "She had a stomachache that night, and I didn't get enough rest, so I didn't dare to provoke her again."
Chi Fangping smiled and said, "Don't give others what you don't want others to give you. Just work hard here and don't worry about other people's affairs."
Chang Ya's face turned even redder, the blush spread to her ears and finally to her neck, and she said "OK".
"Okay, let's eat first, and then go back to your posts." Chi Fangping didn't say much, and didn't mention Ji Ling again.
Ji Ling had just fallen asleep. Her eyes were half open, her mind was not fully awake yet, her whole body was sore, and she didn't want to move at all.
There is a feeling of not knowing where the depth is.
Until Zhu Weidong's faint voice sounded in my ears, "Awake?"
Ji Ling then became alert. She yawned, looked up and saw Zhu Weidong walking towards her from behind the curtain. She exclaimed.
"You hung the curtain?"
"This way, we can open the door of the tent for ventilation, and no one will see us lying on the bed." Zhu Weidong sat down beside the bed. He had just washed up, and when he got closer, a cool feeling also hit Ji Ling's face.
In fact, even though the doors and windows were open, it was still stuffy in the tent because there was no wind outside.
Ji Ling put her hand on his arm, "Why aren't you warm at all?"
Zhu Weidong took her hand and said, "Get up and eat."
Eh? Ji Ling looked at his back as he left, wondering why he was angry? She got up and followed him. Ji Ling chased after him and asked, "What's wrong? I've loved sleeping since I got pregnant. I didn't feel anything when I was distracted at school, but now when I relax, I can't help wanting to sleep."
Zhu Weidong pushed the lunch box in front of her and put the chair in place. After she sat down, he said coldly, "I'm not angry about this."
Ji Ling said, "I knew you were angry."
Zhu Weidong said nothing, but his eyes were fixed on her.
Ji Ling's face gradually turned red as she was stared at. She stammered, "Don't look at me like that. Just tell me what I did to make you angry."
Zhu Weidong said, "Think about it yourself."
As he said this, he pushed the lunch box towards her again.
How could she eat when the man was in a bad mood?
Ji Ling pursed her lips, looked at Zhu Weidong, then looked at the lunch box. An idea suddenly occurred to her. "No one will tell you that I am wasting food, right? When I arrived at Tianchi, Accountant sent me a lunch box. There was too much food in it, so I took out half and planned to send the rest back. On the way, I heard people talking about me. It was too embarrassing to go out, so I took the remaining food back to the tent. After leaving it overnight, the food went bad, so I secretly threw it away."
"I didn't mean to waste food. A few men over there are talking about me. Would it be bad for me to walk out?"
Zhu Weidong was stunned.
Ji Ling looked at him and asked in confusion, "Isn't it this matter?"
Zhu Weidong's face was as cold as ice. "What did they say?"
"You said I looked delicate, and that you were so cold, how did you usually comfort me? Actually, you didn't say anything else, but if I go out and disturb you with such topics again, everyone will be embarrassed."
Ji Ling's face was covered with tears. If someone else said this, she wouldn't feel anything, but this person was Zhu Weidong. The cold and frosty Zhu Weidong would actually curse people behind their backs.
Zhu Weidong looked at his wife with wide eyes, and said in a calm voice, "Continue."
continue?
Ji Ling was a little slow to react, and only then did she understand what he was talking about. She muttered, "Are you angry that I shouldn't be so angry? I'm not wrong about that."
"Master Liu is a chef. I can understand that he has no food to eat after the accident. Water is there for everyone to use, so why can't I get it? They bully me because I am alone and weak, so I should find a place where I can seek justice." Ji Ling crossed her hands in front of her chest, "You can say that I am not wrong."
Zhu Weidong looked at her and said, "Go on."
Then just wait quietly.
"What else?" Ji Ling couldn't think of anything, and suddenly narrowed her eyes, "You are not standing up for Chang Ya, are you? She was the one who came to provoke me first, so I tormented her."
Zhu Weidong asked, "What is this?"
Ji Ling said, "Isn't it this? It's neither this nor that, so what is it? I won't guess."
Zhu Weidong sighed, stood up and walked around to her side, picked up the chopsticks and picked up some food for her, "Aren't you hungry? Eat first."
"No." Ji Ling rolled her eyes, tilted her head to one side, and said in a low voice, "You said I was wrong. How can someone who made a mistake eat?"
Zhu Weidong smiled, "You were wrong and you're still feeling wronged?"
Ji Ling's ears felt hot. She had lived two generations, but now she was acting like a little girl and acting like a spoiled child. Even an old woman like her would feel shy.
She caught a glimpse of Zhu Weidong's fleeting smile from the corner of her eye and was stunned.
Even though she had seen it before, she still had no resistance to his smile.
Without Zhu Weidong saying anything more, she had already given up and muttered, "How dare I complain? You were angry as soon as I woke up. I told you everything that happened after I got here, and it was all wrong. What do you want me to do?"
Zhu Weidong said, "It's not about these things. I'm angry that you are irresponsible. You can quarrel with them and fight with them, but you can't put yourself in danger."
Ji Ling suddenly realized and explained, "I'm not stupid. I'm not using other people's mistakes to punish myself. I've thought about it before I went to find you. There are no wild animals here, but there are a lot of mosquitoes. Look at my hat, so they can't bite me. The rest is to walk to you. I walked slowly and got there in two or three days. I brought food with me, but the biscuits were a bit dry and I couldn't eat them."
Zhu Weidong picked up the braised pork and passed it to her mouth. Ji Ling ate it in big mouthfuls. She was eating something and her words were slurred. "Although I can't eat it, I can eat it when I'm hungry. So I've thought about it. There won't be any problem."
After swallowing a piece of meat, she stuffed another piece of meat into her mouth, and she kept talking, "But there is no water, I have some to drink."
At this time, the cup of water was handed to her, "The water in it is warm."
Ji Ling took a big sip and was still worried, "Will I get diarrhea if I eat meat and drink water at the same time?"
"Are you scared now?"
"I'm not stupid."
Zhu Weidong sighed, his tone doting, "Yes, you are not stupid."
Ji Ling raised her head slightly, moved closer to him, pecked him lightly on the mouth, sat back and said, "This is a reward for you."
Zhu Weidong frowned and said to be careful of the occasion, but the pink color of his ears betrayed him.
