Chapter 96
In her past life, her brother had died due to deteriorating injuries. However, now, her brother had been injured for a week, and he didn’t appear to get better.
“Then I’ll bring you here tomorrow first and then go grocery shopping. Be careful in the hospital, and don’t engage with anyone who approaches you,” Jiang Yexun cautioned, thinking of the strange female comrade they encountered on the train.
But once he finished speaking and saw his own little girlfriend looking all weak and fragile, he shook his head and muttered to himself, “Tomorrow, I’ll let your brother know about that female comrade we’ve come across”
Such matters should be taken seriously. Leave these dangerous situations to men like him and Su Hongchen.
How could his little educated youth handle this?
Upon hearing this, Su Xiaoxiao immediately straightened her posture, her voice full of concern. “No, you saw what my brother’s like. If he finds out someone’s targeting me, he’ll definitely overreact, at the very least not taking proper care of himself.”
As soon as she finished her sentence, she saw Jiang Yexun’s firm face crumpling. Su Xiaoxiao quickly dashed over to his side, wrapped her arm around his, and coquettishly swayed it.
“I’ll definitely talk to him about this tomorrow, but you have to give me some time to prepare him slowly. And I promise, I won’t leave my brother’s ward tomorrow. You’ve seen it; it’s a single-patient room with its own bathroom.”
Seeing that she had a well-thought-out plan, Jiang Yexun felt somewhat relieved. He knew that she had her reasons for doing this. Therefore, they both hurried back to their accommodation.
Upon entering the room, they encountered the salesclerk dozing off at the counter. She looked at them with irritation when they walked in.
“Why are you so late? You scared me half to death,” she complained, patting her chest. As she spoke, she took out an account book.
“One single room is one yuan, a double room is seventy cents, and a triple room is forty cents.”
After stating the prices, the staff member’s gaze shifted between Su Xiaoxiao and Jiang Yexun several times.
“Married couples need to show their marriage certificates to stay together. Without a marriage certificate, even if you are married, you can’t stay in the same room,” she explained sternly.
Jiang Yexun coldly handed her the money and the introduction letters, saying, “Please, two single rooms, adjacent to each other.”
The staff member carefully checked the introduction letters for both of them. After confirming that everything was in order, she handed them the keys and registered their stay.
“Oh, and the water isn’t hot at this hour. As soon as you enter your rooms, take a quick shower. Otherwise, you won’t have hot water.”
Both Su Xiaoxiao and Jiang Yexun hadn’t taken a shower in two days. Waiting until the next day would make it three days, so Su Xiaoxiao opened the door, took the luggage bag, and waved to Jiang Yexun.
“Yexun, I’m going to take a shower, and you should hurry and do the same.”
With her words, she closed the door.
Looking at the door that was barely two centimeters from his nose, Jiang Yexun rubbed his teeth against his lips.
Such a heartless girl. When she needed him, she called him “Brother” and when she didn’t, the door was right in his face, closing on him.
But knowing that the little educated youth loved cleanliness, Jiang Yexun didn’t dawdle. He went back to his room, went straight into the bathroom, and took a good shower.
After the shower, the two of them didn’t dwell on the situation and went to sleep.
The next morning, at 5 AM, Su Xiaoxiao finished getting ready and came out of her room. Jiang Yexun had been waiting for her.
He had two lunchboxes in his hands, filled with steamed buns and porridge he bought from the state-run canteen.
“Why buying it here? We can get it from the hospital canteen when we arrive,” Su Xiaoxiao asked with surprise.
She took the lunchboxes and opened the door slightly. She let Jiang Yexun enter before closing it again.
After looking at the double bed that had been messed up by her, Jiang Yexun couldn’t help but have some wicked thoughts. He swallowed discreetly and, as a result of the heat, his ears turned red.
Su Xiaoxiao placed the lunchboxes on the table and turned to see him staring fixedly at her disheveled bed.
Notably, his ears turned as red as ripe prawns.
In an instant, Su Xiaoxiao understood exactly what he was thinking and her heart raced as though it wanted to burst out of her chest. She felt a little embarrassed, but her whole body felt as if it was soaked in honey, sweet and fragrant, making her limbs feel indescribably soft.
She clenched her teeth and tiptoed over to where Jiang Yexun was standing. Suddenly, she raised her body and planted a kiss on his scorching hot face.
Jiang Yexun snapped back to his senses and took the opportunity to embrace the girl who was secretly teasing him. He kissed her soft lips, gently and affectionately caressing.
“Brother Yexun, what are you thinking?”
Su Xiaoxiao was already left breathless, but she had the courage to continue teasing the man beside her.
