Because there was a lot of chicken soup in the lunch box, some of it spilled while she was walking. Someone pulled her aside and asked where she bought it.
She was afraid that the chicken soup would spill, so she didn't dare to struggle hard and just vaguely said that she brought it from home.
The other party lowered his voice and asked, "Did you buy it at the pigeon market? Did you buy a whole chicken or half a chicken? How much was it?"
Qi Mengmeng didn't have the time to ask how much a chicken cost, so she could only use her strength to break away from the other person: "The price of chicken is about the same, please make way, I have to take the food back quickly, otherwise my man will hit me when he is hungry."
She said it seriously, and the woman who was stopping her loosened her hand involuntarily. Qi Mengmeng quickened her pace, just looking at the tray in her hand, and walked back to the ward with her head down. She didn't breathe a sigh of relief until she put the tray down.
"What happened?" Gu Guizhi had woken up and was staring at the ceiling in a daze.
"It's nothing. I bought you some chicken. Come and try it. How does it taste?" Qi Mengmeng used a cloth to pad the lunch box and poured a lunch box full of chicken soup for Gu Guizhi. After looking around, she couldn't find a spoon, so she simply handed the lunch box to Gu Guizhi.
Gu Guizhi asked Qi Mengmeng to eat first as he was not hungry yet.
Qi Mengmeng saw through his thoughts: "I don't like chicken soup, I just want to eat some chicken, you drink it."
She was telling the truth. If she wanted to drink chicken soup, there was plenty of it in the space. She really didn't like this kind of clear stew. Although it was added with jujube and wolfberry, she always felt that it had a fishy smell.
When she was stewing chicken soup, she specially stewed two kinds of them. This one without any seasoning was stewed for Gu Guizhi.
Gu Guizhi saw Qi Mengmeng had already grabbed a bun and started eating it, so he took a big sip of the chicken soup.
Qi Mengmeng hadn't done much activity in the past two days and wasn't very hungry. She only ate a bun and took a few bites of fried eggplant before putting down her chopsticks.
Gu Guizhi frowned: "There is a lot of meat here, I can't finish it all by myself."
Qi Mengmeng: "...I'm full."
She really didn't like the chicken stewed in chicken soup, so in order to prevent Gu Guizhi from leaving any for her, she persuaded Gu Guizhi to eat the remaining chicken, drink the chicken soup, and eat the four buns.
Qi Mengmeng glared: "You eat so much, do you feel uncomfortable in your stomach?"
Gu Guizhi was obviously just lying in bed and didn't consume much, so how could he eat so much?
Gu Guizhi was a little embarrassed: "Maybe I ate a little more because I lay down for a long time."
"It's okay, it's okay. As the old saying goes, being able to eat is a blessing. The more you eat now, the better you will get." Qi Mengmeng also felt that what she said just now was ambiguous. Isn't this looking down on the other person for eating too much?
In order to avoid embarrassing Gu Guizhi, she grabbed the lunch box and said, "I'll go wash the lunch box."
"Wait." Gu Guizhi asked Qi Mengmeng to pour hot water into the lunch box containing chicken soup to avoid wasting the oil in the lunch box.
Qi Mengmeng did as she was told. After drinking the soup, Gu Guizhi explained, "There's still a lot of oil in it. Don't waste it."
Qi Mengmeng nodded. She understood that people of this era didn’t waste food, but she just wouldn’t drink it.
"Are you still drinking?" Qi Mengmeng looked at the lunch box that had been filled with chicken soup and still had some oil in it, and asked considerately.
Gu Guizhi felt that Qi Mengmeng's tone was a little strange, but he still nodded: "Drink it."
Qi Mengmeng poured some more water into the lunch box and watched him drink it before taking it to wash.
Sure enough, the lunch box that had been scalded twice with hot water was much easier to wash and only needed to be rinsed with clean water.
Qi Mengmeng washed the lunch box and returned to the ward. Gu Guizhi asked her to lie down on the bed next to her for a while. There was still an hour before the nurse came to give her an IV drip.
Qi Mengmeng looked at her watch. It was only half past twelve. She lay down on the empty bed and said, "I'll only sleep for an hour. You should sleep a little longer too."
Gu Guizhi responded and wanted to talk to Qi Mengmeng, but she had already closed her eyes. Five minutes later, a slight snoring sound was heard from the other bed.
Qi Mengmeng actually fell asleep!
Gu Guizhi didn't expect Qi Mengmeng to fall asleep so quickly. At the same time, he also realized that Qi Mengmeng's attitude towards him was more like a comrade than a lover. She cared about him and took care of him, but there was no love.
Originally, Gu Guizhi was not in a hurry, but now that he was injured, he wanted to quickly develop feelings with Qi Mengmeng.
The military king who was able to defeat an entire division was a little at a loss when it came to emotions.
When Qi Mengmeng woke up, she found that Gu Guizhi had already started the infusion. She walked over to check on him first, then said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I was sleeping so soundly that I didn't hear the nurse come in."
"It's okay. You've been on the train for such a long time and slept in a strange place last night. You must not have slept well. If you are tired, just sleep for a while. I can watch you myself." Gu Guizhi thought it was just an infusion and he could watch it himself.
How could Qi Mengmeng go to sleep anymore? She sat on the chair and stared at the liquid dripping in the infusion tube until the nurse came to change the fluid.
After the two bottles of liquid were infused, Doctor Liang came over to check on Gu Guizhi's injuries and told him to take good care of himself. Other examinations would be done after his leg injury healed.
Qi Mengmeng inexplicably thought of the look that Doctor Liang gave her in the morning, which meant that Doctor Liang felt that Gu Guizhi could not have children and was hoping that she was already pregnant.
Then she will say, I'm sorry to disappoint you, it's impossible.
Fortunately, Doctor Liang still has a strong medical ethics. He did not mention Gu Guizhi's illness in front of Qi Mengmeng and left after the examination.
No one came to disturb them until the nurses got off work.
Qi Mengmeng felt bored and dozed off. Gu Guizhi was almost unable to hold on any longer. The chicken soup and water he drank at noon had now gathered in his stomach. If it weren't for his years of marching experience, he would really have called for help.
Just before he was about to call for help, the voices of Li Zhuang and Jiang Shan came from the door: "Captain, we are here."
Gu Guizhi turned his head and said to Qi Mengmeng, "Mengmeng, please go get a basin of water. I was sweating a lot just now."
Jiang Shan stepped forward to get the basin: "Captain, I'll go."
Qi Mengmeng looked at Gu Guizhi's expression and knew what he meant. She suppressed her laughter and said, "I'll go get some water."
Jiang Shan was a little confused. Li Zhuang took out the urinal from under the bed. Gu Guizhi took the urinal and thought that if he continued to endure it, he would explode.
Qi Mengmeng deliberately stayed outside for a while before returning to the ward. Jiang Shan was not in the room, and Li Zhuang was talking to Gu Guizhi.
Gu Guizhi saw Qi Mengmeng and waved at her: "Mengmeng, go back with Li Zhuang. The courtyard has been tidied up and my bedding has been moved over. Go and see if there is anything else you need and I will find someone to buy it for you."
Qi Mengmeng really didn't want to stay at Qi Zhijun's house tonight. She gave some money to Jiang Shan who had returned, asked him to buy food, and then followed Li Zhuang back to the family compound.
