Chapter 39

Huh? Hearing the unexpected negative answer, Jiang Muning’s eyes flashed with surprise.

“Why is that?” Jiang Muning looked at him in puzzlement, her big eyes filled with obvious curiosity.

Qin Muye looked at her, the word “like” was on the tip of his tongue. As long as he opened his mouth, those two words would pop out.

The heat in his ears kept rising, a blush crept up his ears. He wanted to confess his liking, but then he thought about her liking someone else, and he felt a little timid.

“Brother Muye?” Jiang Muning called softly, her delicate voice was stimulating his heart.

“I’m going to the bathroom.” After speaking, Qin Muye quickly stood up and ran out quickly.

Just like that… he ran away?

Jiang Muning twitched her lips, she didn’t expect Qin Muye to also run away to pee.

Her fingers landed on her chin, she gently rubbed it, thinking about Qin Muye’s red ears and his hesitant reaction, she suddenly realized: “Could it be because I’m the first person he slept with? No wonder he’s been so good to me since our wedding night!”

Thinking about this, Jiang Muning was incredibly grateful for her wisdom, she had eaten him dry and cleaned him up, and she had taken advantage of him a few more times.

Realizing this, Jiang Muning happily muttered to herself: “This is easy, keep your heart locked during the day, and play all night. As long as there are no men in your heart, you can naturally draw your sword, it’s not like there are no men around…”

The next day, when Qin Muye woke up, Jiang Muning was still asleep.

He didn’t know if her lower abdomen still hurt, so he still prepared a hot water bottle and a thermos, and he also cooked ginger and date brown sugar water for her, put it in a thermos, and placed it within her reach.

After doing all this, Qin Muye prepared to go to the army.

At the army.

Qin Muye was about to walk to the training ground when he met Gu Manli on the way.

“Captain Qin.” Gu Manli greeted him enthusiastically.

Qin Muye’s expression was calm: “Doctor Gu.”

Gu Manli smiled and came to him, her eyes sparkled as she looked at him: “Captain Qin, here’s the medicine I told you about to treat dysmenorrhea.”

As she spoke, Gu Manli handed him the chaste tree berry granules.

Seeing the Western medicine, Qin Muye took it: “Thank you, how much is it?”

“We’re all friends, don’t be so polite, it’s not much money, just consider these few boxes as a gift from me.” Gu Manli said with a smile.

Qin Muye’s expression was serious: “I need to pay, no matter how much it is.”

“You saved me before, they say that for a life-saving grace, one should repay with one’s body. I can’t repay you with my body, so don’t you allow me to help you?” Gu Manli said with a smile.

Ever since he saved her that year, she had liked him. But at that time, he wasn’t a regiment commander, he was just a battalion commander. Plus, he was already engaged, so she didn’t take any action.

Now it was too late to regret it.

“No need, I saved you because you were my comrade-in-arms.” Qin Muye replied calmly. “How much does the medicine cost, I don’t owe you any favors, so I won’t do things I don’t want to do because of favors.”

Qin Muye’s expression was cold, his eyes didn’t show any change as he spoke, Gu Manli’s smile became a little awkward.

“I wouldn’t…”

“Whether you would or not is your business, it’s my business to pay.” Qin Muye said in a low voice. “Doctor Gu, if you don’t accept it, then I’ll go ask another doctor.”

Seeing his insistence, Gu Manli had to say: “Alright then, this medicine costs one yuan per box.”

Hearing this, Qin Muye took out his wallet and gave her three yuan: “Thank you.”

Gu Manli reached out to take the money, her thumb seemed to accidentally touch his finger.

As if he had touched something dirty, Qin Muye quickly retracted his hand.

“Thank you.” Qin Muye left these two words, his long legs didn’t stop for a moment, he strode forward.

Gu Manli stood there, looking at Qin Muye’s back, her heart was heavy, she couldn’t tell what she felt.

But she had to be patient, waiting for Qin Muye to get tired of Jiang Muning.

“He has someone he likes, that country woman will be divorced sooner or later.” Gu Manli muttered to herself.

As long as she had enough perseverance and was willing to wait, she would definitely be able to marry Qin Muye one day.

Thinking about this, Gu Manli turned and walked forward.

All morning, Qin Muye had been sweating profusely on the training ground.

It wasn’t until noon when they disbanded that Qin Muye went to the canteen.

“Getting lunch again? Your wife isn’t cooking?” Chen Haoting asked curiously.

“She’s been feeling unwell these past few days.” Qin Muye replied in a low voice.

As they spoke, they reached the food serving window.

“Captain Qin, what would you like?” The lady serving the food asked enthusiastically.

“Two chicken legs, this steamed fish, and…”

Chen Haoting put his arms around his chest and leaned against the counter: “Didn’t you always dislike eating fish?”

“For her.” Qin Muye said concisely.

“Tsk tsk…” Chen Haoting teased, “It seems you’ve fallen for her.”

Qin Muye didn’t deny it, he took the lunch box and turned around, he patted his shoulder: “Let’s go.”

Seeing that his perpetually icy face didn’t seem as cold as before, Chen Haoting chuckled: “Love, it looks pretty good.”

When Qin Muye returned home, Jiang Muning had just gotten up.

He put the lunch box aside and came to her: “Feeling better?”

Jiang Muning wrapped her arms around his waist and rested her chin on his military uniform.

Qin Muye’s body stiffened.

Noticing his change, Jiang Muning’s eyes sparkled with laughter, she tightened her grip on his waist: “I don’t hurt anymore.”

Qin Muye lowered his head and looked at her delicate face, which finally had some color. His Adam’s apple bobbed, his voice was hoarse: “That’s good, eat quickly.”

As he spoke, Qin Muye pulled away her hand and turned to fiddle with the lunch box.

Seeing his reaction, Jiang Muning was depressed: He wasn’t even moved.

Qin Muye’s heart wasn’t as calm as he appeared. His flustered hand couldn’t even open the lunch box.

He took a deep breath, calming his racing heart.

He opened the lunch box and they sat down on chairs.

Jiang Muning lowered her head and ate, she picked up a chicken leg.

“The chicken legs in your canteen are really delicious.” Jiang Muning praised as she ate.

Qin Muye hummed in agreement, he picked up some vegetables: “The other one is yours too.”

Jiang Muning was surprised: “Aren’t you eating?”

“Eating vegetables.” Qin Muye replied calmly.

What he didn’t say was that he wanted to save some. He hadn’t gotten paid yet, the borrowed money was only a dozen yuan left, he had to save it, after all, he still had to buy vegetables for a few days.

But he would rather save for himself than wrong her.

Jiang Muning didn’t think much about it, she continued to gnaw on the chicken leg.

Noticing that her chopsticks rarely landed on the steamed fish, Qin Muye was puzzled: “Don’t you like it?”

“I do like to eat fish, but it has bones, I got a bone stuck in my throat before.” Jiang Muning answered truthfully.

She was embarrassed to say that she had not only gotten a fish bone stuck in her throat, but also a shrimp tail bone, she had even gone to the hospital…

Hearing this, Qin Muye didn’t say anything, he brought the steamed fish to him.

Jiang Muning didn’t think much about it, she continued to eat until a plate of fish meat, all deboned, was placed in front of her.

“No more bones.”
