Chapter 59: Eating Oranges

Xia Keqing nodded, for her, brushing up the male lead’s favor was more important, as for whether to tell the male lead who reported the secret…

That wasn’t important.

It depended on the situation.

If necessary, she would definitely tell him.

Not only would she tell him, but she would also tell Shen Jichuan that she discovered something was wrong and forced Xiao Liu to reveal his situation.

As for whether Xiao Liu would be scolded by Shen Jichuan for being loose-lipped, she didn’t care.

If Xiao Liu knew Xia Keqing’s current thoughts, he wouldn’t tell her.

Unfortunately, he didn’t know anything, and he was very considerate, closing the door and leaving.

As soon as Xiao Liu left, Xia Keqing’s attention immediately shifted to Shen Jichuan.

He was lying in the hospital bed, his body wrapped in bandages, he was closing his eyes and pretending to sleep.

Hearing the sound, he knew someone was coming in, he thought it was Xiao Liu, but when he turned his head, he saw the young girl flying towards him.

Shen Jichuan was startled, his wound was immediately pulled. As a result, he opened his arms to catch the young girl, but she braked just before touching him.

Her big eyes were full of heartache, her hands were a little helpless, slightly raised, as if she wanted to touch his wound, but she was afraid of hurting him, so she didn’t dare to reach out, and she retracted her hand…

Shen Jichuan opened his lips, but ultimately didn’t say anything, he just pretended to be nonchalant and said, “Don’t worry, I’m fine.”

He saw the young girl’s tears fall like large pearls.

Shen Jichuan was most afraid of girls crying.

He pursed his lips, gently pulling the young girl into his arms, “I’m really fine, don’t worry.”

Xia Keqing wiped her tears, nodding repeatedly.

She wasn’t really familiar with Shen Jichuan, if she overacted, it wouldn’t be good. This level was just right, it could show her concern for him, but it wasn’t too fake.

She stepped back, breaking free from Shen Jichuan’s embrace.

After hesitating for a moment, she said:

“Training must be very hard.”

“I’m sorry, I’m not worldly, I was making a fuss over nothing.”

She touched her eyes again, showing a smile, her whole face immediately lit up.

“I heard a saying, the peace and tranquility we have now is because someone is carrying the burden for us. Brother Shen, you are such a person.”

Shen Jichuan pondered for a moment, his expression suddenly changed.

He didn’t expect that his little fiancée had such a high level of awareness!

He originally felt sorry for her.

He was a soldier, he had many missions, he couldn’t possibly just be her man.

He also belonged to the country.

He didn’t expect that she understood.

Having a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for?

At this moment, Shen Jichuan’s gaze towards Xia Keqing was different.

If he was initially attracted to a woman as a man’s instinct, then now, Xia Keqing’s meaning to him was completely different.

This was simply a soulmate, a woman who understood him.

Xia Keqing looked at his deep eyes, instantly understanding that she had achieved her goal.

The people in this era were different from those in the future, they had a strong sense of patriotism, some statements that seemed very pretentious in the future, they would find very inspiring.

Anyway, they weren’t afraid of being exaggerated, they were afraid of not being moving enough.

This wave was a sure win.

But Xia Keqing didn’t want Shen Jichuan to always be injured.

The human body is like a precise instrument, although it can be repaired, if it’s repaired too many times, it wouldn’t be good, it would affect the user experience, it was related to her happiness for the rest of her life.

So Xia Keqing sincerely said, “No matter what, I hope you can protect yourself, try not to get injured.”

Shen Jichuan nodded, his heart feeling warm.

The sentimental scene ended, Xia Keqing automatically switched to daily mode.

But she still felt a little regretful, Shen Jichuan was injured, she couldn’t casually sit on his lap and tease him anymore.

It was really a pity.

So she sat down properly, and even peeled an orange for Shen Jichuan, holding it up, she was about to stuff it into his mouth, she paused, “Doctor, can you eat oranges?”

Shen Jichuan looked like he had lost a lot of blood, his lips were even a bit pale, so she wasn’t sure about the cause of his injury.

Based on his profession, this injury definitely wasn’t simple, it wasn’t something she could ask about.

Plus, she had just established her persona, it wasn’t good to ask directly, so she asked, can you eat oranges?

This was okay to ask.

Shen Jichuan looked at her with deep eyes.

Xia Keqing blinked, the orange segment brushed against his lips, and was quickly stuffed into her mouth.

She smiled slyly, “Forget it, you have a wound, it’s better not to eat cold things.”

Shen Jichuan watched helplessly as the orange segment that had his lip temperature was eaten by her.

The young girl’s face was round, but it looked very small, the small orange segment stuffed her cheeks, making her look like a little squirrel stealing food.

Her chewing motion was particularly beautiful, it twisted and turned, her lips, stained with orange juice, had a faint red glow.

Shen Jichuan’s gaze suddenly became very deep.

“Is it delicious?”

Xia Keqing looked at him, “Pfft”, she laughed out loud, she covered her lips and said, “Of course it’s delicious.”

“You don’t know how sweet this orange is!”

Shen Jichuan stared at her lips, silently nodding in his heart, it must be very sweet.

He even wanted to taste the orange.

“You don’t know, there are two orange trees planted in front of my house, one autumn, my younger brother caught a cold and coughed, my mother wouldn’t let him eat them, she gave all the oranges to me and my sister, my brother couldn’t eat them, watching us eat, he always felt that the oranges that year were the sweetest.”

Her smiling face was too sweet, Shen Jichuan subconsciously asked, “What happened later?”

“My brother was so envious, he made a big fuss, my mother had no choice, she had to stew the oranges and give them to him.”

“Then guess what?”

Xia Keqing laughed like a cat who had stolen fish.

Shen Jichuan didn’t even ask, Xia Keqing already said with a smile, “My brother said the oranges were sour.”

Shen Jichuan couldn’t help but laugh.

He didn’t even ask, Xia Keqing already said with a smile, “Oranges are rich in vitamins and fruit acids, after heating, the acidic substances are easily released, so they would be more sour than when they’re not heated.”

Shen Jichuan thought about it, “Why can’t you eat oranges when you have a cough?”

His family also had several brothers and sisters, when his parents were busy, they didn’t have time to manage them.

As long as they were alive, who cared if they coughed or not, they couldn’t manage the mischievous children who ate whatever they wanted outside.

Xia Keqing said seriously, “According to scientific reasoning, when you’re sick, you should supplement with fresh fruits and vegetables, this would be more beneficial for recovery.”

Shen Jichuan’s eyes were full of smiles, waiting for her to say the second half of the sentence.

But Xia Keqing didn’t say anything.

She had to wait for him to ask.

He was helpless, “Then what is the unscientific reasoning?”

Xia Keqing’s eyes were clear, “I don’t know what the unscientific reasoning is either. Once, I was almost recovered from a cough, my mother picked oranges and put them in the house, I couldn’t resist, I ate one, my cough got worse, I coughed for several more days before I recovered.”

She emphasized, “I was almost recovered, I barely coughed anymore. Just because of one orange, it got worse, I coughed for several more days!”

Shen Jichuan didn’t say anything, he just nodded.

Xia Keqing asked again, “When can you be discharged?”

She asked several questions in a row, “After you’re discharged, will you rest at home? Or go back to the army?”
