Xu Ruantang finally understood the saying: People laugh when they are extremely speechless.
She was in so much pain, yet Chen Ji still had the mood to tease her.
It was just a kiss, we already said we're even, why is he still bringing up old grievances?!
“Chen Ji, the rain won’t keep falling, but your head will.” She lay there, staring at Chen Ji as she spoke.
"Um?"
Xu Ruantang sat up in bed. "Get down."
Chen Ji: "......"
When Chen Ji took out a chess set and placed it on the hospital bed, Xu Ruantang looked at him as if he were an idiot.
Chen Ji asked calmly, "Do you know how to play chess?"
Xu Ruantang thought about it; playing chess was indeed a good way to distract herself. But why couldn't this person just say it directly? Why beat around the bush and say something that could be misunderstood?
never mind.
It's her heart that makes everything else look dirty.
Since they couldn't sleep anyway, the two sat on the edge of the bed and played chess.
"Playing chess all the time isn't fun. How about we add a penalty?"
Xu Ruantang was eager to try, her shimmering eyes blinking, a confident smile on her face.
Chen Ji nodded. "Okay, what kind of punishment do you want?"
The game of chess took a long time, but Xu Ruantang ultimately won by a narrow margin.
She jumped up with joy; if it weren't for the fact that everyone was sleeping, she would have danced on the spot.
"Sit still and don't move!"
Xu Ruantang dipped the paper in water and stuck it on Chen Ji's forehead.
If Chen Ji hadn't stubbornly refused, she would have liked to stick it on to him with her saliva.
Warm, soft fingers pressed against Chen Ji's forehead and then pressed down firmly.
Xu Ruantang nodded in satisfaction, "It's very sturdy, so don't worry!"
Late at night, the scene was quite unusual: Chen Ji and Xu Ruantang were playing chess with several pieces of paper on their heads.
The agreement stipulated that the note could not be removed or touched. The first note on Xu Ruantang's forehead was then stuck above her eye by Chen Ji.
She couldn't see it clearly, and every now and then she had to blow on the note. The warm breeze occasionally blew on Chen Ji's face, making his heart itch with desire.
Xu Ruantang has a strong competitive spirit. Even when she was playing so much that she could barely keep her eyes open, she still didn't want to go to sleep.
She eventually drifted off to sleep by the bedside, and Chen Ji had to carry her back to bed.
Of course, Chen Ji cleaned up the note on her face as well.
She was probably really exhausted, because she was sleeping soundly, her long eyelashes casting shadows under her eyes.
Chen Ji stared at her intently, sighed softly, and raised his hand to tuck a stray strand of her hair behind her ear.
Xu Ruantang was woken up by a nurse the next day.
Chen Ji had to go back to his unit during the day. Before he left, he bought her breakfast and even squeezed out the toothpaste and put it on the table.
"Comrade Xu, Commander Chen is so good to you!"
They still had to maintain a good image as a couple in public. Xu Ruantang didn't refute this, and said with a smile, "Yes, he's a good person. Anyone who marries him will be happy."
Before they had even finished breakfast, Li Shuhe arrived with Li Shuyang. Li Shuyang was carrying a lot of things, while Li Shuhe was holding Xiaobao.
Xu Ruantang couldn't understand why her godmother and the old lady were willing to give her the child.
Xiao Bao doesn't recognize people like he did in Dahe Village anymore; he smiles at anyone who holds him.
Especially when they see a handsome guy, they hug him tightly and won't let go.
Xu Ruantang reasonably suspected that she would grow up to be a great womanizer.
"Are you two moving? You're bringing so much stuff."
Xu Ruantang felt a headache coming on looking at that huge pile of things; she couldn't put them all down.
Li Shuhe disapproved and handed Xiaobao to Li Shuyang, showing him everything: "I brought you a radio because I was worried you'd be bored in the hospital."
As he spoke, he pulled out a large object.
"And this bone broth, my brother specially asked our aunt to make it. He broke his bone before, and he drank the broth made by our aunt, and it worked very well!"
"And some comic books, for you to keep you entertained. These are my brother's treasured possessions; I begged him to give them to me!"
"besides...."
Li Shuhe introduced everything in one breath. Looking at the items that filled the bed, Xu Ruantang was somewhat moved, yet also somewhat hesitant to move.
"I probably won't be able to stay for more than two days. My family is having a banquet the day after tomorrow," Xu Ruantang said weakly.
Just as Li Shuhe was about to speak, there was another knock on the ward door.
This time, it was Lu Shishen and Lu Xiaozhao who came in.
Lu Xiaozhao timidly walked to Xu Ruantang's side, and her eyes instantly reddened when she saw the bandage on Xu's arm.
Xu Ruantang quickly patted his head, "Don't cry, Auntie is fine. Go play with your sister and uncle."
Li Shuyang helped Xiaobao stand up and move forward. Lu Xiaozhao reached into her pocket, grabbed a handful of candy, and stuffed it into Xu Ruantang's hand, "Auntie, here's some candy for you. Daddy said it will make the pain go away."
Okay, thank you.
After giving her the candy, Lu Xiaozhao walked up to Xiaobao and looked at her with expectant eyes.
Xiao Bao wasn't so reserved; she stuck her bottom out and snuggled into her brother's arms, while also looking up at Li Shuyang, who was holding her.
Lu Shishen placed the malted milk powder and fruit he was carrying on the table. "Comrade Xu, thank you."
If Chen Jin didn't want to talk and didn't like to waste time, then Lu Shishen was simply not good with words and didn't know how to speak.
Although both are cold, they are fundamentally very different.
"No need, saving lives is instinct. Commander Lu, you don't need to be so polite. It's good that the child is alright."
Xu Ruantang replied with a smile.
Lu Shishen's gratitude was evident. "No, I still want to thank you. And about the old man last time, I will definitely come to apologize in person later."
My godmother was wronged last time. She meant well, but she was criticized in front of so many people. She was really wronged.
Xu Ruantang nodded. "Okay."
"Company Commander Lu, how is Wang Xiuxiu?" Li Shuhe asked curiously. Coupled with the man's sullen demeanor, the atmosphere was somewhat awkward, so she subtly helped Xu Ruantang change the subject.
Lu Shishen's expression was grave. "It's not good. The doctor said it's uncertain whether he'll wake up. The main problem is the brain."
"Company Commander Lu, if you have something to do, please go ahead and take care of it. I'll take the things, thank you."
Xu Ruantang stood up and looked at the things on the table. If she didn't accept them, this person would probably feel uncomfortable.
As soon as he finished speaking, someone else came into the ward.
Xu Ruantang didn't want to see the person who came back this time at all.
Jia Shuling, who had been arrogant and looking forward to ridiculing Xu Ruantang after hearing the news, instantly changed her attitude upon seeing the tall man in the ward.
"Ruan Tang, are you alright? I came to see you as soon as I heard the news. Come, let me see where you're hurt?"
Xu Ruantang pursed her lips and took a step back without making a sound. "Second Aunt, you're only in your twenties and you already have presbyopia? You can't even see such a big bandage? Otherwise, I'll ask Dr. Cheng to pull some strings and find you a doctor to take a look."
Jia Shuling's face stiffened for a moment, but because Lu Shishen was still there, she still smiled and said, "Isn't it just that I was too anxious? Company Commander Lu is here too. Xiao Zhao, let your aunt take a look and see if you are injured anywhere?"
When Jia Shuling saw Lu Xiaozhao, her face lit up with a big smile, and she grabbed the child and started checking him over.
