Chapter 83 Preliminary strategy for Taotu [Part 1]
Headquarters Hospital, fifth floor.
When Nuo Xia found out the location of Taotu's ward and came to the corridor on the fifth floor, he happened to see a man wearing a brown cowboy hat walking out from the other end with a bouquet of roses in his hand and a depressed look on his face.
Even though the other person kept his head lowered, Nuo Xia still recognized this guy's identity at a glance.
"Tea Dolphin" adds up.
The powerful man who will be a candidate for admiral alongside Momotu in the future, currently looks to be about thirty years old, and is only in the rank of major general.
"Mr. Jiajie."
The moment he was about to pass by, Nuo Xia, who was always humble and polite, took the initiative to give him a military salute.
"Ah, ah, hello..."
Tea Dolphin then raised his head as if he had woken up from a dream. After seeing Nuo Xia's appearance clearly, he was stunned. His first reaction was how could this guy be so handsome?
If I grew up like this... no, as long as I had half of this appearance, would I still be ruthlessly rejected by Gion repeatedly?
Life is really unfair.
"Young man, are you also here to visit Major General Gion?" he asked.
"Hmm." Nuo Xia glanced at him in surprise, "How do you know?"
"The guy from Mozambique was discharged from the hospital a few days ago. Now all the wards on the east side of the fifth floor are empty. Only Gion is left."
Cha Dou scratched his messy curly hair and said with some distress, "I would like to advise you, young man, it's better not to go there now. She is not in a good mood now, so she asked Martha to guard the door of the ward, saying that she wanted to take a good rest today.
No one wants to see me, you see, even I was kicked out."
Nuo Xia had some impressions of the name Martha. It seemed that she was the adjutant who had followed Peach Rabbit for many years. She had the rank of major in the headquarters and had a cold and unapproachable personality.
He looked in the direction of the ward, and sure enough he saw a woman with long flaxen hair, with a cold face, like a doorkeeper, blocking the closed door with her arms folded.
"..."
Nuo Xia glanced at the wilted bouquet in the tea pig's hand, and was speechless for a while. Why is Peach Rabbit in a bad mood? It must be related to your guy's sudden confession, right?
"Thank you for reminding me." He shrugged, "But I've already come here. Whether I can go in or not, I still have to try."
After saying goodbye to the tea pig, he passed by him and walked straight to the door of the ward.
Why doesn't this silly kid listen to advice? Where does he get his confidence?
Cha Dou lit up a cigar, looked at Nuo Xia's back and shook his head helplessly.
He didn't know Taotu's temper yet. Since he said he would rest today and not see any guests, he would definitely keep his word. Even an old acquaintance like himself would be kept out.
What's more, there is Martha's level outside the door...
result.
The next moment, he saw the black-haired boy walking to the door with a smile on his face, and he didn't know what he was talking to Martha in a low voice - it seemed like he was discussing, but also like he was praising and flattering the other person.
In short.
After just a few words, the latter's iceberg melted in an instant, his cheeks were flushed, he was smiling so hard that he gave up his position.
What's going on?
Seeing Nuo Xia's back disappearing behind the door, Cha Dou was stunned.
"Just a smile..."
He fell into deep thought and seemed to think he understood something, "So, all you need to do is keep smiling and say a few nice words?"
It turns out that this is Martha's weakness.
Maybe you can try it yourself?
Tea Dolphin suddenly regained his confidence and fighting spirit. He straightened his clothes, took a deep breath, and followed him to the door holding the rose.
Looking at Martha who was still immersed in her sweet smile, he took a deep breath and just smiled what he thought was the most charming smile before he could speak.
In the next moment, the opponent's face suddenly turned cold at a speed visible to the naked eye.
…………
On the hospital bed.
Not long after closing her eyes and adjusting her breath, Taotu, who was sleeping very lightly, vaguely heard some rustling movement next to her.
Is Jiajing back?
What is Martha doing? Didn't he ask her to guard the door? Anyone can come and visit, except that guy?
She opened her eyes displeasedly, and as soon as she turned her head, she saw a familiar figure sitting on a chair with her legs crossed beside the floor-to-ceiling window, lowering her head and concentrating on peeling the apple layer by layer with a knife.
The warm sunshine filtered in from outside the window lattice, falling gently on the black-haired boy, as if it was coated with a light golden edge, making the handsome face even more charming, making it difficult to look away.
Time is quiet. At this moment, in the ward filled with the faint fragrance of gardenia, the quiet sound of needle drop can be heard, and only the sound of peeling fruit knife can be heard.
Is it an illusion...
We haven't seen each other for less than a month, and this damn little guy seems to be much more handsome than before?
Taotu looked at the young man's face quietly, and after a long time, he softly asked: "When did you come?"
"Eh?"
Nuo Xia was looking left and right with satisfaction at the perfect apple skin she had peeled. Hearing this, he was startled and almost thrust the knife into his palm, "You...why did you suddenly wake up?"
"I didn't sleep much at all."
Looking at the busy black-haired boy, Taotu showed a smile in his eyes, "I'm going to be discharged from the hospital tonight. I didn't expect to see you before then. It's a miracle."
What does this mean...
Are you blaming yourself for why you didn't come to visit a few days ago?
"I have been working hard these days, and it was not until today that I saw the news of your injury in the newspaper."
Nuo Xia took a bite of the apple, shrugged and said, "As you know, I'm just a poor kid from Donghai. I don't have any backers or information channels in the headquarters, so no one told me about this."
"Not to mention anything else, as for the location of your ward, I have been looking around for a long time and found it after a lot of hard work."
He was chewing the apple, and as soon as he swallowed it, he felt that Peach Rabbit had been staring at his mouth, and something was wrong with his direct gaze.
"What?" Nuo Xia looked at the half-bitten apple with a puzzled look on his face, "You want to eat it too?"
Don't tell me, these apples taste really good. I don't know who sent them, but they were piled on the bedside table. It would be a pity not to finish them.
"I thought……"
Halfway through Taotu's words, Taotu suddenly became angry and glared at Nuo Xia fiercely. He stretched out his fair and slender right hand from the quilt and said, "Bring the knife, I'll cut it myself."
As a result, as soon as he opened his palm, an extremely perfect and beautiful apple that had already been peeled was placed in the palm of his hand.
She was suddenly stunned.
"Ha! You must have been deceived, Brigadier."
Looking at the astonished Peach Rabbit, Nuo Xia smiled proudly like a child succeeding in mischief:
"Who do you think I am? Seeing you lying in bed recuperating, I feel guilty for not bringing you a fruit gift. How could I just cut it for myself?"
Only a straight man would do such stupid things!
Not long after he was cheerful, his smile suddenly froze, and gradually turned into a bitter look - because Taotu reached out his other hand at some point and pinched his cheek hard with an unkind expression.
"pain."
Nuo Xia expressed her feelings with a grimace.
"With how thick your skin is, you still feel pain?"
Taotu said with a half-smile, "Young man, I told you a long time ago, don't lie to your superiors, let alone make such nasty jokes to your superiors."
"Who said something bad about me to you? It's all nonsense and slander."
Nosha snorted coldly and said seriously, "Everyone who knows me, Romanov Nosha, knows that my skin is actually as thin as a piece of paper. I am a simple boy who is so nervous that he blushes when he sees a girl... Hiss, it hurts.
It hurts, it hurts, it really hurts!”
He bared his teeth and looked down, and found that the two fingers of Taotu pinching his face had turned dark black at some point.
Isn't it?
He had just said something eloquent, but now he was using his military attitude? Nuo Xia looked at the smiling Taotu and frowned for a while. Before they were separated, his treatment was not so bad.
