The atmosphere in the ward was very strange. Lou Xi and Zuo Lingfeng were both silent. They were silent, and each had unspeakable depression. Ye Xingchen had long known about the awkwardness between the two of them, so for a while he just thought they were in harmony.
But I didn't think much about it when I came to this corner, and both of them were injured, so their health should be the priority. Besides, even Sisi could feel the smell of gunpowder between them. It was really not good to go on like this.
She patted the little girl in her arms and said softly, "Sisi, be good, don't be afraid. Dad and uncle are hurt because they are injured. Go and kiss each of them, okay?"
When Sisi heard that she was injured or sick, she immediately felt heartbroken. She nodded obediently, then went to kiss Lou Xi and said innocently, "Dad, it doesn't hurt, Sisi huh!"
As he spoke, he blew on his chest again, very seriously.
Lou Xi touched the little girl's furry head and curled up the corners of his lips unconsciously.
Sisi twisted her little body and got out of bed, turned around and went to Zuo Lingfeng's bedside. She followed the same pattern and said charmingly, "Uncle, it doesn't hurt..."
She shook his hand with her little hand, lowered her head and kissed him.
Zuo Lingfeng's heart also softened, but he felt a little weird about the title "uncle". He knew that Sisi was Chen Zhou's daughter, so it was right to call him uncle, but now Sisi calls Xingchen mother, and then
Call him uncle again... This generational hierarchy seems a bit confusing!
He touched the little girl's pink and tender face and said coaxingly, "Sisi, be good and call me uncle."
Uncle?
Not only Sisi's eyes widened, but Ye Xingchen was also a little confused, while Lou Xi had a livid face.
Sisi blinked her eyes. At her young age, she could not figure out such a complicated relationship. Her face was full of confusion, so she turned to Ye Xingchen for help.
Ye Xingchen also blinked and thought for a long time before turning this corner. Yes, it is this relationship. From her side, Sisi should call Zuo Lingfeng uncle, but from Lou Xi
Come to think of it...he seems to be a bit shorter in seniority!
I secretly glanced at someone, and sure enough, his face didn't look good.
The corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitch, feeling a little sympathetic, but also wanting to laugh.
"Uh... it's getting late. It's time for lunch. What do you want to eat?" She quickly changed the subject.
Lou Xi was not in the mood to eat, but Xingchen would definitely not allow him to go hungry, so he said calmly, "Whatever, anything is fine."
Ye Xingchen couldn't help but frown, and turned to look at Zuo Lingfeng, "Uncle, what about you?"
Zuo Lingfeng didn't want to eat either, and he didn't want Xingchen to work too hard, so he casually said, "Anything is fine."
Ye Xingchen's brows furrowed even more tightly.
In the afternoon, they both needed intravenous drips. If they didn't eat well, the medicine would irritate their stomachs. She had to get some food right away, but seeing how tense they were, she was really afraid that they would fight, so she had to
Sisi stayed behind. With this little girl here, they didn't dare to do anything.
"Sisi, you stay here and stay with dad and... uh... with them, okay?"
"Okay." The little girl is very well-behaved.
Ye Xingchen left with peace of mind. He turned around and went to the hospital canteen and bought three meals with different tastes. Lou Xi and his uncle had different injuries, so the convenience of eating should be different. Lou Xi is now suitable to eat something light.
For food, there is a little meat to supplement nutrition, and my uncle needs more calcium and protein. As for Sisi, just eat one portion with her.
Carrying the delicious food back to the ward, Sisi immediately widened her dark eyes and swallowed hard. Ye Xingchen couldn't help laughing, but he couldn't help but feel sad. When he took the little girl out in the morning
I was in such a hurry that I didn't have time to eat, so I only gave her a bag of milk to drink. The little girl must be starving by now.
"Sisi, let's eat!" Ye Xingchen put a portion of the meal on the plate, and then gave the little girl a small spoon. Sisi immediately took it, took a big mouthful of rice, stuffed it into her mouth, and then took another big mouthful.
The food is delicious.
"Slow down, don't choke." Ye Xingchen warned, and the little girl nodded hurriedly.
Ye Xingchen immediately stood up and brought another meal to Lou Xi. Lou Xi suddenly felt excited. He glanced at Zuo Lingfeng, with a triumphant smile in his eyes, which meant that he didn't care whether you were his uncle or not.
, the stars still think of me first!
Zuo Lingfeng was defeated and felt a little unhappy.
Ye Xingchen didn't notice the surging undercurrent between the two men at all. He brought the dinner plate to Lou Xi, and then gave him a pair of chopsticks. Lou Xi reached out to take it, and took her hand, with deep black eyes.
Full of tenderness.
Ye Xingchen was stunned for a moment, and his face suddenly turned red. Thinking of his uncle lying opposite the hospital bed, he couldn't help but want to avoid his burning gaze. He lowered his head slightly and withdrew his hand. A little pink fell on his fair neck.
Looking into Lou Xi's dark eyes, his gaze became even more intense. Ye Xingchen glared at him in annoyance, then turned around and walked towards Zuo Lingfeng.
She put the third meal on the plate, then moved a stool, sat beside Zuo Lingfeng's hospital bed, picked up a spoon and said, "Uncle, let me feed you. The doctor said you can't move your right hand."
Hearing this, Lou Xi immediately glared and shot a warning look at Zuo Lingfeng. Zuo Lingfeng originally wanted to say that he could eat with his left hand, but after seeing Lou Xi's annoyed expression, he immediately changed his mind and said deliberately, "Then
sorry to bother you."
"No trouble." Ye Xingchen smiled slightly, picked up the spoon, took a mouthful of rice, and fed him a mouthful. Zuo Lingfeng chewed carefully and slowly, obviously showing off, and Lou Xi tightened his fingers on the chopsticks.
, I wish I could pinch it off.
"Cough...cough..." He coughed twice deliberately.
Ye Xingchen turned around when he heard the sound, "What's wrong with you?"
Lou Xi secretly lowered his eyes and found an excuse to say, "I want to drink water."
How could Ye Xingchen think so much? He put down the spoon, got up and poured him a glass of water, and then went back to feed Zuo Lingfeng.
Lou Xi couldn't help but feel depressed. He drank a whole glass of water in one gulp, but he still couldn't extinguish the burning anger in his chest. Even the stars didn't feed him!
Zuo Lingfeng glanced sideways at Lou Xi, with a thin arc at the corner of his mouth.
In the ward, Sisi was the only one eating happily, and she finished the meal in this atmosphere that was as weird as it could be.
◎◎◎
Half an hour after the meal, the nurse came in to give the two men an injection. This was their first intravenous drip since they were admitted to the hospital, so they had to do a skin test to see if there was any allergic reaction. Zuo Lingfeng did it first, and the results would be available twenty minutes after the test.
, he took advantage of the opportunity to go to the bathroom.
Lou Xi also performed a skin test, and the nurse turned and left the ward, leaving only Ye Xingchen and Sisi who hid behind the sofa and refused to come out because they were afraid of injections.
Lou Xi finally found an opportunity and pulled Ye Xingchen to sit beside his bed. On the bedside table, his dinner plate had not been confiscated, and there was a mouthful of rice left in his lunch box. He worked his chin, but did not speak.
Ye Xingchen frowned, not quite understanding what he meant, "What are you doing?"
"Feed me!" he ordered domineeringly, but very childishly.
Ye Xingchen opened his eyes wide, as if in disbelief, his face immediately turned red, and he was very determined, but said in a weak tone, "No."
"Xingchen..." There was a request in his voice, a little pitiful, which made her heart tremble slightly.
"I said no." Ye Xingchen refused awkwardly. His arm was not injured and he was not a three-year-old child. Sisi was eating it by himself!
Grabbing her hand and tightening it slightly, Lou Xi said in a deep voice, "You know, you will be punished for wasting food carelessly. Are you willing to let me be punished?"
Ye Xingchen twitched the corner of his mouth. It was wrong to waste food casually, but he clearly did it on purpose!
She tried to withdraw her hand, but he refused to let go, looking at her closely with burning eyes. She hesitated, a little at a loss, and was not used to him being such a willful and rogue person.
"Hurry up, just this once," he urged.
"Is it really just this once?" Ye Xingchen was obviously shaken, but still a little hesitant. It was only his first day in the hospital. What would he do if he asked for this?
"Yeah." He nodded dully, seemingly reluctantly.
Ye Xingchen heard his duplicity, frowned slightly, and asked again, "Do you mean what you say?"
"Well -" he trailed off, his handsome face was so good-looking, yet so childish.
Ye Xingchen was silent, remembering the time when they ate biscuits together in the disaster area, so he softened his heart, pursed his lips, and said softly, "Okay, but this will not happen next time. If you compete with my uncle again, I will be really angry!"
"
Lou Xi narrowed his eyes slightly and curled his lips unwillingly.
Ye Xingchen was speechless and sighed helplessly, how could he be more childish than Sisi!
Lou Xi simply picked up the chopsticks and handed them into her hands with an evil look in his eyes.
Ye Xingchen froze there awkwardly, clenching his chopsticks, still a little hesitant. Firstly, he felt so shy, and secondly, he was afraid that he would push too far. After hesitating for a while, he slowly picked up the last morsel of rice in the lunch box.
Feed it to his mouth.
Lou Xi's handsome face softened slightly, he opened his mouth and ate the rice ball. While chewing, he looked at her, his dark eyes getting deeper and deeper.
Ye Xingchen couldn't help but feel annoyed, and his face turned red involuntarily.
Seeing her embarrassed look, Lou Xi's heart softened. Her soft and shy look was so cute that he couldn't help but want to bully her more, but he was afraid of bullying her too much.
He patted the seat next to him and asked her to sit closer. Ye Xingchen moved suspiciously and moved closer. His big hands immediately hugged her waist. She immediately frowned with a warning in her eyes, "You
…”
"We will go home during the Chinese New Year!" He interrupted her and said in a deep voice.
Ye Xingchen counted the days and found that he would be discharged from the hospital in a few days and go home by then.
Looking at her expression, Lou Xi knew that she didn't understand, so he tightened his arms and pulled her into his arms. Ye Xingchen's breath tightened, feeling his complete care, and his warm breath fell on her
In his ears, a magnetic voice slowly came, "I mean, I will take you back to Beijing to meet my family."
Ye Xingchen was slightly startled. They have known each other for so long, and this was the first time he mentioned his family to her. She knew that he had been away from Beijing for several years and rarely went home. They did not go back to hold a wedding when they got married. And this
This time, the meaning was obviously very different, and she couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
However, the ugly daughter-in-law always has to meet her parents-in-law. She only hopes that she can be liked by his parents. Her parents are long gone, and she will treat his parents as filial to her own parents.
Also, she hasn't been back to Beijing for a long time. It's time to go back and visit her parents' graves, and she should take him with her to let her parents in heaven know that she has found her destination and she will be happy.
My hands subconsciously hugged him tightly. Such a hug was so warm!
◎◎◎
For several days, Lou Xi and Zuo Lingfeng stayed in the hospital, and the atmosphere in the ward was never normal.
Lou Xi was very depressed about this. In fact, he no longer wanted to confront Zuo Lingfeng. The previous grievances and resentments were all over. Zuo Lingfeng also deliberately planned the drug abuse incident to go undercover, and it was a task assigned by the commander.
, As for the time when Duojie and Chen Zhou died, Zuo Lingfeng did not do it on purpose. Knowing that he had been lurking for several years to avenge his brothers, he felt uncomfortable. Not everyone can do it as an undercover agent. He needs enough people.
Ability and enough patience, the hardships involved cannot be described in words at all.
He really wanted the two of them to shake hands and make peace, not for anything else but for the stars and shouldn't continue to compete, but Zuo Lingfeng's attitude towards him was still so tough, always deliberately provoking him and making him want to be friendly.
He couldn't be friendly, he didn't understand, just because Xingchen married him, he deserved to die? Not to mention that Xingchen was just Zuo Lingfeng's niece, even if she was a daughter, she wouldn't be like this, right? What else did he have?
Have you offended Zuo Lingfeng?
Lou Xi was puzzled, and amidst the depression and confusion day after day, the day finally came for him to be discharged from the hospital.
Zuo Lingfeng was also discharged from the hospital. His arm recovered well and the doctor said he could hold a gun again in half a year.
Early in the morning, Ye Xingchen helped the two of them go through the discharge procedures. Although they were discharged from the hospital, neither Lou Xi nor Zuo Lingfeng could go home immediately. Instead, they each had their own work to complete. Lou Xi wanted to go back.
The Special Forces Brigade has summarized this operation and arranged some matters during the Spring Festival. Zuo Lingfeng has to deal with the affairs of the Lingfeng Group. The person "Zuo Lingfeng" will no longer exist in the future.
The army specially sent a car to pick up Lou Xi and the soldiers who were hospitalized for recuperation together, so Lou Xi went first. Ye Xingchen took him out of the ward. Lou Xi said he would call her as soon as he was done with his work, and then the two of them went to pick him up.
car.
Ye Xingchen watched him leave until he was far away, then turned around and returned to the ward. Zuo Lingfeng also packed up and was ready to leave.
The two went downstairs together. Ye Xingchen had to continue working, so he couldn't see him off. He raised his hand to stop a taxi. Zuo Lingfeng bent over and sat in. He told the driver an address. Ye Xingchen tolerated it after hearing this.
He couldn't help but frown, and asked in a low voice, "Uncle, is your place of residence organized and arranged?"
Zuo Lingfeng curled his lips and said, "I will change my place in the future."
Ye Xingchen pursed her lips and smiled, waved her hand, and watched him leave. But as soon as the car drove a few meters away, she suddenly thought of something again. She quickly chased after him and asked, "Uncle, I want to go back to Beijing with Lou Xi during the Chinese New Year. I
I want to take him to visit my parents’ graves. Can you finish your work by then? Can you come with us?”
Hearing this, Zuo Lingfeng's heart suddenly sank and his expression suddenly froze. Ye Xingchen couldn't help but worry, "What's wrong?"
Zuo Lingfeng narrowed his eyes slightly, shook his head, opened the door, got out of the car, gently put his arm around her shoulders, and asked distressedly, "Xingchen, you miss your parents these years, right?"
Ye Xingchen put his hands in the pockets of his white coat, tightened his palms slightly, and said softly, "Of course I did. After they passed away, I didn't even dare to stay in Beijing. I always felt very sad staying there, so I came to Yun Sichuan, I went to the Military Medical University, not only did I leave Beijing, but I could also become a soldier. I studied hard and lived a good life without letting them worry. And I will be better in the future because I am no longer alone. Good friends, have relatives, and..."
After a pause, he felt a little embarrassed and said shyly, "There is also Lou Xi and Sisi."
Zuo Lingfeng's chest felt hot, and his heart was spinning a thousand times. He couldn't help but reached out and hugged her, gently and carefully, for fear of hurting her at all, and full of care and love.
Ye Xingchen was stunned and smiled slightly.
"Xingchen, if...if Lou Xi did something sorry for you, what would you do?"
ah?
Ye Xingchen was surprised. After thinking for a moment, he smiled and said, "He won't do it. I believe him."
Zuo Lingfeng smiled bitterly in his heart, silly girl, not everything in this world can be erased with just a word of belief.
