Chapter 21: Chen Xiuyuan is not suitable for you

Chen Xiuyuan, lying in the hospital bed, was surprised to see Lin Yitang.

“Comrade Lin, what are you doing here?”

“You were seriously injured saving me. I had to visit. I made you some soup. How are you feeling?”

Lin Yitang said, shaking the food container.

Chen Xiuyuan’s face lit up.

“You… you made soup for me?”

“Yes, it’s medicinal food, good for your wound recovery.”

Lin Yitang opened the container, and the aroma of chicken soup, with a faint herbal scent, filled the air.

Seeing Lin Yitang’s concern and the chicken soup, Chen Xiuyuan, whose face had been pale, blushed.

“Lin… Comrade Lin, this is too much trouble. Saving you was my duty, and it’s just a minor injury.”

Chen Xiuyuan was embarrassed and stammered.

“You were injured saving me. I feel terrible.”

Lin Yitang then looked at the others in the ward.

They were all tall, strong, and clearly soldiers.

Lin Yitang smiled faintly. “I’m safe thanks to you soldiers who protect our country. Thank you!”

Her expression was sincere, and she was beautiful, making some of the younger, unmarried soldiers blush.

“You’re too kind.  Protecting the people and our country is our duty!”

Qin Liangxin said, but he was pleased, smiling at Lin Yitang.

Chen Xiuyuan introduced, “Comrade Lin, this is our Political Commissar Qin.”

After greeting Qin Liangxin, Lin Yitang continued, “I’m not being polite. I want to express my gratitude and help the injured soldiers.”

“You have a high level of political consciousness!”

Not only Qin Liangxin but also the others felt warm.

A beautiful girl admiring and thanking them filled them with pride and satisfaction.

Intense gazes fell on Lin Yitang, but she didn’t notice.

Yu Jingchuan’s face turned cold, his brows furrowed.

Lin Yitang was always scheming. Was she now targeting Chen Xiuyuan?

Seeing Chen Xiuyuan happily drinking the soup, Yu Jingchuan found him irritating.

“You’ve delivered the soup. You should go. We have things to discuss.”

Yu Jingchuan said coldly, dismissing her.

Lin Yitang was stunned, annoyed by his tone.

Before she could retort, Qin Liangxin said, “Jingchuan, don’t always have that face. Don’t scare the girl!

And we’re not in a hurry. Let Comrade Lin stay a while!”

Chen Xiuyuan added, “Yes, Commander Yu, Comrade Lin came to see me and made soup. It’s inappropriate to send her away now.”

He looked at Lin Yitang and scratched his head.

Yu Jingchuan’s face darkened, his lips pursed, his jawline tight.

Ignoring him, Lin Yitang talked to Chen Xiuyuan.

Chen Xiuyuan had finished the soup. He sincerely praised, “Comrade Lin, this soup is delicious! I feel warm, and my wound doesn’t hurt as much!”

He smiled. Yu Jingchuan snorted; Chen Xiuyuan was foolish. If the soup were that effective, doctors wouldn’t be needed.

Lin Yitang thought, the soup was made with herbs and spring water from her space, of course, it was effective!

Qin Liangxin curiously asked, “Comrade Lin, you make medicinal food. Do you know medicine?”

“A little.”

“Medicinal food is better than herbal medicine. Xiuyuan will recover faster with this!”

“Commissar Qin, you flatter me.”

Lin Yitang blushed slightly.

Chen Xiuyuan, seeing her flushed cheeks and delicate profile, was captivated.

Yu Jingchuan saw this and felt angry. He went to Lin Yitang and grabbed her arm.

“Come with me.”

Lin Yitang was pulled to the hallway.

“Yu Jingchuan, let go! You’re hurting me!”

His hand was like an iron clamp.

Yu Jingchuan released her, noticing her reddened wrist. He frowned; her skin was too delicate; he hadn’t used much force.

Lin Yitang rubbed her wrist, looking at Yu Jingchuan, wondering what he wanted.

Yu Jingchuan cleared his throat, his expression serious.

“Lin Yitang, Chen Xiuyuan isn’t suitable for you. He can’t handle your games. Stay away from him.”

Lin Yitang’s face turned icy, her eyes cold.

“Yu Jingchuan, what do you mean?”

“You’re getting close to me while targeting Chen Xiuyuan. Do you think others can’t see through you?”

Meeting his gaze, Lin Yitang sneered.

Yu Jingchuan thought she was seducing Chen Xiuyuan, afraid she’d get involved with his friend.

How much did he dislike her?  She was probably a pig trying to steal his cabbage.

“Yu Jingchuan, don’t act superior. Why are you deciding for Chen Xiuyuan? How do you know we’re not suitable? Are you interfering too much?”

Lin Yitang had no feelings for Chen Xiuyuan, but Yu Jingchuan’s words made her retort.

“Lin Yitang! If you dare use those underhanded tactics on Chen Xiuyuan, I won’t let you off!”

Yu Jingchuan’s eyes held a strong warning.

Lin Yitang felt a sharp pain in her heart. Yu Jingchuan disliked her so much; that’s why he rarely treated her well after marrying her in her past life.

She had been blind, thinking she could win his heart.

She was ridiculous!

Luckily, she had woken up and given up on him.

She took a deep breath and said coldly, “Who I like and approach is none of your business.  Mind your own affairs. I won’t cling to you anymore!”

Lin Yitang glared at Yu Jingchuan and returned to the ward.
