Chapter 60: Corn, Yam, and Pork Bone Soup

Shen Jichuan had already received the news, he would be transferred to the military hospital in the afternoon, and someone would come to pick him up then.

But looking at the young girl in front of him, he didn’t know how to tell her.

He even thought, taking this opportunity, to bring her to the military area.

But he knew, he couldn’t be so selfish.

She had to go back to school.

If she knew his subtle thoughts, she would definitely think he was a selfish man, so he remained silent for a moment, then said, “I’ll be transferred to the military hospital in the afternoon.” He didn’t say anything else.

His young girl was indeed startled, “So soon?”

Xia Keqing’s eyes were filled with surprise, then she quickly lowered her head.

She thought, what a pity.

She had a few more days of vacation, it was definitely too late to go to the military area to show her affection, but she could still make a good impression by staying here.

Shen Jichuan saw her lower her gaze, looking dejected, but he mistook it for her worrying about his injury.

“Don’t worry, my injury is nothing.”

He had experienced even more serious injuries before.

But now that he had her, this minor injury seemed to be a big deal. This feeling was quite unfamiliar, but Shen Jichuan unexpectedly felt quite good.

Xia Keqing was still lowering her head.

Tsk!

This man, he was actually trying to play the victim with her.

Although he said his injury was nothing, wasn’t this pitiful look trying to get her to care about him a bit more?

Unfortunately, it wasn’t convenient here, otherwise, she would really be able to cook him a soup three times a day to show her affection and brush up his favor.

Since she had already traveled into the book, knowing that following this man had a good future, Xia Keqing didn’t plan to give up. Besides, she also didn’t have a reason to give up.

But the reality didn’t allow it, Xia Keqing could only blink her eyes, pretending to be troubled.

“Why don’t I go and ask the school for a leave of absence, I’ll go and take care of you?”

Shen Jichuan’s eyes lit up.

Xia Keqing didn’t look at him, “Although it will delay my studies, it’s fine, I can just retake the courses next semester, or graduate a year later, it’s fine with me…”

After she finished, she raised her gaze and looked at him sincerely.

Shen Jichuan frowned, between his eyebrows, it seemed as if there was a “川” character.

“The medical team at the military hospital are all top-notch, you don’t have to worry.”

Xia Keqing lowered her gaze and remained silent.

The atmosphere suddenly became a bit stagnant, Xia Keqing stood up, “I’ll go and get you something to eat.”

After she finished, she didn’t care about Shen Jichuan’s reaction, she directly turned and left.

She left Shen Jichuan with a fleeing back.

Xia Keqing was deliberately doing this, she had to make Shen Jichuan feel that she was very sad now.

She wanted to accompany him back to the military area, but she couldn’t go because of her studies, she was very conflicted in her heart, so she could only temporarily choose to escape.

Closing the door of the ward, she did whatever she had to do.

But now that Shen Jichuan was still in the ward, she didn’t know, if she knew, she couldn’t not show any expression.

The men in this era were all traditional, Xia Keqing decided to cook him a bowl of pork bone soup.

Light and nutritious, add some yam and sweet corn, directly sweeten his heart.

Inside the ward.

Shen Jichuan frowned, after a while, he took out the design drawing from the bedside table, looked at it, then put it back.

Wait a bit longer, in two more years, she will graduate…

Xia Keqing had just left, Xiao Liu came back.

He was carrying a bag of apples, after bringing them in, he diligently peeled them, then handed them to Shen Jichuan.

If Xia Keqing hadn’t come just now, Shen Jichuan would definitely have taken them.

He didn’t take them, Xiao Liu raised his hand, maintaining the motion of handing the apples.

Shen Jichuan’s expression was calm, “Go and ask the attending physician, can I eat fruit in my condition?”

Xiao Liu was stunned, “No, Captain Shen, are you joking with me?”

Xiao Liu was Shen Jichuan’s subordinate, he had gone through life and death with him for many years, he was considered a confidant.

Captain Shen always ate and lived with them, ordinary soldiers, when did he ever pay attention to these things?

But Xiao Liu quickly understood.

Could it be because of… Sister-in-law?

He smiled, “Bro, Sister-in-law doesn’t let you eat?”

Shen Jichuan glanced at him, his face was tight, he didn’t say anything.

Xiao Liu wasn’t afraid, “Don’t worry, I’ll go and ask the doctor right away.”

While he was walking out, he muttered, “This cultured wife is really troublesome, she even cares about whether he can eat fruit…”

Shen Jichuan: …

If it wasn’t her who was concerned about whether he could eat fruit, he wouldn’t care so much.

Xiao Liu quickly came back.

“The doctor said it’s fine in moderation.”

Shen Jichuan’s expression had returned to normal, “Mm.”

But he still didn’t take it.

Xiao Liu: …

He could only stuff it into his own mouth, “Crunching…”

“This apple is very crisp, really don’t want to eat it?”

Shen Jichuan glanced at him, frowned, the young girl knew to peel the orange segment and feed him, Xiao Liu didn’t.

Xiao Liu wasn’t attentive enough.

He didn’t speak, Xiao Liu knew, he didn’t want it.

He could only give up.

Forget it, anyway, there would be a special car to pick him up at the military hospital later, there would be plenty of people to serve him…

Xiao Liu secretly glanced at him, suddenly thinking of the gentle and tender Sister-in-law, he suddenly had an idea.

“Hehe, Brother Shen, later I’ll tell Sister-in-law that you want to eat the apple she peeled.”

After he finished, he quickly slipped away.

Shen Jichuan looked at this kid’s agile figure, he was furious.

It was fine in the early years, but since he became an old soldier, he became a “veteran”, he hadn’t seen him this agile during training.

Captain Shen came to the conclusion, these kids have a lot of energy, they can’t not train, they must train, train hard!

…

Leaving the hospital, Xia Keqing told Yu Hong that she was going to the local vegetable market.

She originally thought Yu Hong would ask, but she didn’t ask anything, she directly followed.

“Anyway, I don’t have anything to do, let’s go together, I’ll help you pick the ingredients.”

Xia Keqing looked at her in surprise.

Yu Hong glanced at her, “What? Your aunt is also someone who has been there and done that.”

“Your man is injured, you want to cook him something delicious, it’s only natural, there’s nothing to be embarrassed about.”

Xia Keqing thought, I’m not embarrassed at all.

If she had any deep feelings for Shen Jichuan, that would be completely bullshit.

What kind of feelings could a worker in the new century have for their boss? It’s simply because Shen Jichuan’s personal conditions are good, his economic conditions are also good, and they’re already engaged, so it’s legitimate.

A man with such good conditions, and he’s also her legitimate fiancé, if she could let him slip away, then she shouldn’t live anymore.

It’s like a big customer who is coming for her, she can’t let someone else steal him.

So of course she also had to make some effort.

But these words weren’t suitable to say to Yu Hong.

So Xia Keqing lowered her head and pretended to be shy.

Yu Hong finally saw this young girl being shy, she teased her a couple more times before letting her go.

It was proven that going to the vegetable market with Yu Hong was a wise choice, because Xia Keqing looked young and tender, while Yu Hong looked like she couldn’t be fooled, Xia Keqing bought two very fresh pork ribs, the price was also very reasonable.

There were kitchen utensils left behind by Master Huang in the truck.

Xia Keqing used a slow fire to cook a pot of soup, the ribs were so tender that they came off the bone, the soup was a light, pale white color, she even sprinkled a few goji berries for decoration.

When she was carrying the pot of soup to the hospital, she happened to meet the medical staff from the military hospital who were coming to pick up Shen Jichuan.

There was a doctor, and two nurses.

One of them was a female nurse.

When Xia Keqing went in, the female nurse was just peeling an apple.

Seeing Xia Keqing carrying a food container, she thought she had gone to the wrong ward.

“Who are you looking for?”
