Ye Xingchen stared at Jing Sa's back in a daze, and did not come back to his senses for a long time. This aroused Li Yi's suspicion, "Sister-in-law, what are you looking at?"
"Uh..." Ye Xingchen suddenly came to his senses, turned around, and asked awkwardly, "Monitor Li... I just saw an acquaintance, it seems to be Dean Jing. Is that... her?"
Although she was very sure in her heart, she still couldn't help asking, it seemed a bit like deceiving herself.
Hearing this, Li Yi's heart skipped a beat. He had been in the army for several years, so he naturally knew Jing Sa and knew that she liked Lou Xi. In the years when Jing Sa didn't go abroad, he joined the army whenever he had the chance, so
Everyone knows her.
"Ahem..." Li Yi deliberately coughed twice and asked pretending not to know, "Sister-in-law, do you also know Dean Jing?"
Ye Xingchen bit his lip slightly, not knowing how to explain, so he just said softly, "We... are colleagues."
Only then did Li Yi remember, right? They were all from military hospitals, and they were all cardiothoracic surgeons. How could it be such a coincidence?
Uh, wait, wait, when it comes to cardiothoracic surgery, he suddenly remembered a very important thing. This matter must be explained clearly to his sister-in-law. It is related to the innocence of the battalion commander!
"Sister-in-law, the thing is like this. A few days ago, our brigade captain had a heart problem and stayed in the military hospital for two days. But the commendation meeting is about to start. The brigade captain has to come back, but his physical condition is very alarming.
I was worried, so I had to ask a doctor to accompany me, so Dean Jing came with me." Li Yi said calmly, without making up a word.
Hearing this, Ye Xingchen breathed a sigh of relief, but... the captain is sick?
"How is the captain doing now?" she couldn't help asking worriedly.
"It's okay, as long as I'm not too tired, not angry, and basically stable."
"That's good, if..." Ye Xingchen originally wanted to say that if there was a need, he could contact her, but he took it back as Jing Sa was here, so she shouldn't be needed.
Li Yi kept his smile and did not dare to answer, but he was afraid that Ye Xingchen would think too much, so he quickly said, "Sister-in-law, you must stay a few more days this time. The battalion commander has been very busy recently, but he has worked hard and has lost weight.
, you should accompany him well!"
The implication is that their battalion commander has been very busy and tired recently, and he has no time to talk to Jing Sa. This is completely intentional and ruthless!
Ye Xingchen understood it half-knowingly.
The car quickly drove to the downstairs of the dormitory. Ye Xingchen got out of the car with Sisi in his arms. Li Yi had worked hard all the way. She was very grateful and said, "Thank you, monitor Li, do you want to come up and have a seat?"
"No, no, sister-in-law, you don't need to be so polite. Come up quickly. I'll go back to the battalion commander and tell him that you are here. The battalion commander must be very happy!"
Ye Xingchen smiled shyly and went upstairs with Sisi in his arms.
After Li Yi watched them leave, the smile on his face slowly fell. He remembered something that happened a few days ago, and felt very angry in his heart. That Jing Sa was really the same. The battalion commander and his sister-in-law were both married. How could she still be there?
Don’t give up?
◎◎◎
After Ye Xingchen took Sisi upstairs, he took the key and opened the door. After entering the house, he felt like he hadn't seen him for a long time.
It’s really been a long time since I’ve been here, but everything in the room has not changed and is still so orderly. Chaoyang’s master bedroom looks like no one has slept in it for a long time. Sisi’s little toys are put in a storage box and placed in the corner.
.
On the bed in the guest room, the military quilt was neatly folded, like tofu cubes, but there was a slight mess on the desk. Several documents were spread out, and it seemed that they had not had time to sort them out. It seemed that Li Yi was right.
, he has been really busy recently. On the one hand, he has to carry out regular training, and on the other hand, he is also busy with the commendation meeting, because he has to make reports and so on.
Sisi was very obedient and went to the master bedroom of her own accord. It was already her room. The little girl picked up the storage box, poured out the toys one by one, and then started playing. She had been away for many days, and she was very fond of those toys.
I miss you and I have so much fun playing alone.
Ye Xingchen had nothing to do, and the doorbell suddenly rang at this time.
She quickly walked to open the door and saw Luo Lan's kind face in the door mirror.
"Aunt Luo, please come in quickly!" Ye Xingchen quickly gave way to the door and invited Luo Lan to come in.
Luo Lan nodded with a smile and entered the house. Ye Xingchen turned around to pour water, but Luo Lan grabbed her and said, "Xingchen, don't be busy. We are not outsiders. Don't be too polite. I just want to come over and see you."
, how are you, are you feeling better?"
"Much better, thank you Aunt Luo for your concern." Ye Xingchen was very touched. During the days when she was hospitalized, Aunt Luo cared for her like a mother and took great care of Sisi.
"That's good." Luo Lan nodded happily and said, "Xingchen, it's better than anything else if your health is good. Of course, your mood is also very important. I was originally worried that you wouldn't come to this commendation meeting, but
Now I finally feel relieved. You came at the right time. There are always bumps and bumps in the life of a young couple. Although you and Lou Xi have suffered a bit more this time, bad things will eventually pass. I have been there, so I think
Let me tell you, think about the better and don't dwell on the past. I know you are a sensible girl, and Lou Xi likes to keep everything in his heart. If you ask him to say sweet words, he probably won't.
, so you guys should be considerate and considerate to each other, and just have children in the future. Don’t let this matter affect the relationship between husband and wife, you know?”
"Got it." Ye Xingchen nodded lightly, but her heart was filled with ups and downs. In fact, she didn't know why she came, as if she couldn't help it. Maybe it was because he was curled up on the sofa in the living room that night, letting him
Does she feel distressed?
"By the way, Aunt Luo, I brought the windbreaker you lent me last time and washed it. I'll get it to you." Ye Xingchen stood up quickly, took out the windbreaker from the bag, and gave it back to Luo Lan.
Luo Lan reached out and took the windbreaker, but she didn't care much about whether it had been washed or ironed. Instead, she stared straight at Ye Xingchen's big bag and said, "Xingchen, this commendation meeting
This is a good opportunity. You should seize it. People say that a soldier’s medal of merit is half that of a military wife. Although you can’t accompany him on the battlefield, you can definitely give him a lot. Have you prepared any gifts for Lou Xi?
?”
"Yes, yes."
"That's good." Luo Lan seemed relieved, comforted her for a few words, then stood up and left.
Ye Xingchen sent Luo Lan out, and then took out the men's handkerchief in the bag. The more he looked at it, the more dissatisfied he became. He couldn't help but think of the badge he hadn't bought, which was a pity.
She looked at the time and estimated that he would have to wait a while before he came back. She had nothing to do, so she went to the desk to find a book to read. She didn't dare to touch his files for fear of messing up, so she lingered in front of the bookshelf.
In the circle, most of them were military related, and there were also a few books related to infants and young children. Of course she chose the latter. She took out a parenting guide and prepared to take it to the master bedroom to read. While accompanying Sisi, she read
She was passing the time and studying at the same time, but as soon as she turned around, she suddenly caught something from the corner of her eye, like a flash of blue light, and she frowned subconsciously.
Slowly turning around, she looked down and found that the drawer of his desk was not closed tightly and was half open. There was a badge in the drawer. She was very familiar with that badge. It was the one she could not ask for in "craftsmanship".
pieces.
Why... are you here?
She didn't think Lou Xi would buy such a thing for himself, so... who gave it to him?
Almost without thinking, two words flashed in her head - Jing Sa!
Suddenly, her chest seemed to be pinched by something, her breathing became tight, and an inexplicable grievance came up. Didn't the boss promise her that if he wanted to sell, he would call her first? Why did he sell it to Jing?
Sa?
Subconsciously, I took out my cell phone and wanted to call the boss, but after taking it out, I suddenly remembered that it had been turned off when I just came in, and casual phone calls are not allowed here.
Emotions that had nowhere to vent were stuck in her chest. She bit her lips subconsciously, but in the end she was powerless. So she put down her phone and went to the master bedroom to spend time with Sisi. The drawer of the desk was still half open.
◎◎◎
At half past seven, there was the sound of a key turning the lock at the door of the room, and Ye Xingchen's nerves seemed to be twisting and twisting to its rhythm.
She deliberately ignored it and did not move. She lowered her head and continued to read the parenting guide. Under the dim light, the sourness spread silently, filling her entire breath. She even regretted coming here.
"Mama, daddy is back!" Sisi pulled her hand with a look of anticipation.
Ye Xingchen bit his lip slightly and had no choice but to put down the book, hold Sisi's little hand and stand up. He took a deep breath to make himself look normal, and then walked towards the living room.
At this time, Lou Xi had already entered and was changing shoes at the door.
The short distance was only a few meters, but it was like being separated by thousands of rivers and mountains. After being separated for many days, it was as if our eyes met again, as if they had been separated for a lifetime.
"You've been waiting for a long time, are you hungry?" Lou Xi knew that he came back a little late today and couldn't help but worry.
"It's okay." Ye Xingchen shook his head slightly, his expression indifferent. Although his eyes were looking at him, he didn't know where the focus was.
Lou Xi was slightly startled and frowned subconsciously. Why did he feel like she wasn't very happy? But it didn't matter. He was already satisfied that she could come, and he couldn't force too much at once. It was just that he felt like he had lost something, empty.
, a little uncomfortable.
He took off his hat and hung it on the hanger. Sisi suddenly rushed over to him. He quickly dodged it and said, "No, daddy is too dirty. I'll hug you later."
Sisi nodded obediently and put down her little arms.
The atmosphere seemed a little weird. Lou Xi didn't know what to say for a while. He hesitated and said, "I'll take a shower first."
"Yeah." Ye Xingchen nodded lightly, hesitated, and went to the room to help him prepare a change of clothes. However, when he passed by the desk, he couldn't help but glance at the drawer, his eyes paused slightly, and he felt more depressed.
Lou Xi stood there without moving, but his eyes followed her back unconsciously, thus missing the subtle changes in her expression.
The sound of water soon sounded in the bathroom. Ye Xingchen sat on the sofa in the living room with Sisi in his arms, still in a daze.
Soon, in just ten minutes, Lou Xi took a shower, wiped his hair and walked out. His hair was still dripping with water. He wiped it with a towel and said, "Let's eat at home tonight. Don't go."
The canteen is here, and the dishes have been prepared in advance.”
Ye Xingchen was slightly startled. Are the dishes ready?
She quickly got up and went to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator and took a look, only to find that it was full of fruits, vegetables and fresh meat. It was obvious that he had prepared it in advance because she and Sisi were coming.
The lake in his heart suddenly trembled, and ripples rippled in circles. He was already too busy to do anything, but he still remembered such trivial things, and his heart was suddenly moved.
Looking back in the direction of the living room, she looked at him seriously. She saw the light cyan color on his chin and the thick black under his eyelids. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart. He must have been very tired during this period.
tired.
The tiredness clearly visible between his brows made her feel distressed.
The sigh in her heart unconsciously overflowed from the corner of her mouth, her emotions were changing a thousand times, sour and sweet intertwined, just like those dishes, after frying and frying, they showed various flavors, and she couldn't tell what they were until the end.
smell.
After eating and tidying up, it was not too late. After letting Sisi digest for a while, Ye Xingchen took the little girl to take a bath, while Lou Xi returned to the desk to deal with documents. When he lowered his head, he saw half of the drawer.
When he saw the badge inside, his eyes froze slightly and he closed the drawer. At the same time, he couldn't help but wonder, will she prepare a gift for him?
Half an hour later, Sisi finished taking a bath, wearing a pink nightgown and little slippers, and walked out of the bathroom with a "plop patter" and went straight into Lou Xi's arms. Her fragrance was fragrant, and her soft little body was like a pet.
Lou Xi hugged her and kissed her little face.
Then the sound of water started to sound again in the bathroom. Ye Xingchen was washing up. Lou Xi took the opportunity to ask Sisi, "Sisi, what have you been doing these days? Did mom take you shopping?"
"Yes!" the little girl answered truthfully.
Lou Xi felt a little happy in his heart and asked again, "Then what did you buy?"
"Clothes!" Sisi pointed to herself, with round dimples on her chubby little hands, which looked very cute.
Lou Xi held one of her little hands and continued to ask, "What else?"
"No!" Sisi told innocently.
No more?
Lou Xi couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, so he had to comfort himself that it didn't matter, her coming was the best gift.
◎◎◎
At half past ten, it was time to go to bed, but how to sleep was a problem. Ye Xingchen felt that they were not suitable for sleeping together under the current situation, so he decided to sleep with Sisi. After she took a shower, she walked into the master bedroom and made the bed.
The bed was very big, more than enough for her and Sisi to sleep together.
Because it had been empty for many days, I changed new sheets and quilts. After tidying up, I walked to the guest room and said, "Sisi, come here and sleep!"
"Okay!" The little girl is indeed a little sleepy. She usually goes to bed at this time, but today she is very happy, so she has been excited and refused to say anything. It is almost 11 o'clock now, and she really can't stand it any longer.
Ye Xingchen held Sisi's little hand and led her back to the master bedroom. The little girl got into the bed and fell asleep. She fell asleep in a short while and even snored softly.
Ye Xingchen immediately got into bed and lay next to Sisi. Maybe it was because this was a mountain, so the air was very cold at night. As soon as she lay down, she felt a little chilly and quickly covered herself with a quilt.
At this time, Lou Xi was still in the guest room opposite. He looked at the time and saw that it had been more than half an hour. There had been no movement in the master bedroom. Why hadn't she come out yet?
Suddenly he had a bad premonition in his heart, and he quickly stood up.
The door of the master bedroom was ajar, and the light in the room was very dark. Only a night light was on. On the big bed, Sisi was soundly asleep. She was lying on her side with her back to the door. She didn't know whether she was asleep or not.
"Xingchen..." He called softly, but she didn't respond.
Lou Xi silently stopped speaking, feeling an indescribable loss in his heart. He couldn't help but move his steps slightly, and walked to her side. His eyes stared at her for a moment, as if he wanted to make up for all the things he missed during this period.
generally.
She was lying on her side, her eyes were closed tightly, her long eyelashes cast a faint shadow under her eyes, her breathing was gentle and shallow, and she was delicate and graceful. Her whole person looked particularly gentle and tranquil, but she also seemed to be particularly unhappy.
He didn't want to force her, but he didn't want the distance between them to continue to expand. After a moment of silence, he walked out of the master bedroom gently, and came back after a while, holding a quilt and getting on the other side of the bed. His movements were very...
Qing Qing, carefully trying not to disturb her, then lay down next to Sisi.
At least there's Sisi in the middle, so she won't mind anymore, right?
On that side, Ye Xingchen's eyelashes trembled slightly. In fact, she was not asleep, she just didn't know how to face it.
He had explained to her that he and Jing Sa had nothing to do with each other, but why did he still accept her gift? It was impossible for him not to notice the gift that was clearly given with care, so why would he still accept it?
