Chapter 297: Am I Human?
"It's not like that!" Lin Xiaolu's eyes were red with anxiety.
She was desperate to explain out loud, but she coughed violently because of the wound on her neck.
Meng Qing made a calm face, and quickly pulled out the needle on Lin Xiaolu's hand.
Jiang Zhilian's gaze stayed on Lin Xiaolu's neck for a moment.
The layers of gauze wrapped around it make people shudder when they see it.
"Alright, Sister Xiaolu, don't worry." Jiang Zhilian sighed lightly and turned her head to look at Meng Qing: "You go and call the nurse to come over and put the hanging needle back on her!" β
Meng Qing walked out of the ward with a black face.
Lin Xiaolu covered his neck and looked at Jiang Zhilian with teary eyes.
Jiang Zhilian's heart softened, and her tone softened, "I was angry with Meng Qing just now, don't follow the blind fire." Can I not understand him? He definitely won't take the initiative to hug you! He was just afraid that you would be sad and that you would find a short-term view, so he didn't push you away in time. He doesn't explain, and I know it in my heart! β
"......" Lin Xiaolu opened two big eyes, and the emotions in his eyes were extremely complicated.
There is surprise, there is frustration, there is self-pity, and there is shame.
The nurse quickly rushed over and re-injected Lin Xiaolu's hanging needle.
Jiang Zhilian went out to buy dinner, and when she came back, Lin Xiaolu was already asleep.
"She hasn't been able to eat for the past two days, let her sleep!" Meng Qing stood up and said softly, "Let's go to the balcony to eat!" β
Jiang Zhilian nodded and followed Meng Qing to the independent balcony.
There is a large door between the bed and the balcony that, when closed, blocks out most of the sound.
In this way, when they eat or talk, they will not make noise to Lin Xiaolu, who is sleeping in the ward.
Moreover, there is a large window on the door, which can see the situation in the ward, so you can keep an eye on Lin Xiaolu's movements at any time to avoid accidents.
After all, she had just looked for a short-term view, so she couldn't be too careless.
In any case, now that they are the caretakers of the patients, they naturally have to take on a responsibility.
Jiang Zhilian bought two dumplings filled with shepherd's cabbage in the hospital cafeteria.
The dumplings are packed in two newly bought iron lunch boxes.
Soy sauce, vinegar and chili oil, she has already mixed in the cafeteria and mixed evenly on the dumplings.
When you open the lid of the lunch box, you will immediately smell the fragrance, and you can't help but secrete saliva frantically.
Meng Qing took the lunch box, looked at the dumplings inside, and then turned his head to look at Jiang Zhilian, "Eat with your hands?" β
Jiang Zhilian silently took out a spoon from the pocket of her clothes, scooped a white and chubby dumpling stained with sauce, put it in her mouth, and chewed it vigorously.
Meng Qing: "......"
"You went to the Friendship Hotel today?" Jiang Zhilian finished eating the first dumpling, scooped another one into her mouth, and asked while eating.
Meng Qing: "No. β
"Then you and Lin Xiaolu made an appointment to meet? Because of your refusal, she couldn't think about it and hanged herself on the spot? Jiang Zhilian said half-jokingly, half-seriously.
It was already dark, and there weren't many streetlights on the side of the road. There were only one or two lights nearby, and the light was very dim, and a lot of small bugs were flying around the bulbs.
Meng Qing put the dumplings on the cement table next to him, looked at a poplar tree on the side of the road, and sighed leisurely.
"Helpless, right? Don't want to explain, do you? Jiang Zhilian chuckled twice, was silent, and said lightly: "Did you go to the vegetarian restaurant to find me?" didn't wait for me, but waited for someone from the Friendship Hotel to say that Lin Xiaolu was sent to the hospital in a short time? β
Meng Qing paused suddenly, and looked at Jiang Zhilian with an incredulous expression, "Since you know everything, are you still there?" β¦β¦β
"What else do I have? Still misunderstanding you? After Jiang Zhilian ate the sixth dumpling, she said unhurriedly: "I just went back to the vegetarian restaurant to get something, and the little quail at the front desk told me that a person came to the Friendship Hotel and was looking for me in a hurry. Later, you followed him to the county hospital. I don't know anything else, it's all my guess. β
Meng Qing: "......"
"Am I right?" Jiang Zhilian stirred the dumplings in the lunch box with a spoon, trying to make the dumplings get more sauce, "Lin Xiaolu took the initiative to hug you, but you didn't dare to push him away." Just as I was trying to persuade her slowly, I came in, right? β
Meng Qing tugged at the corners of her lips and showed a faint smile.
"I think I'm guessing eight or nine." Jiang Zhilian ate dumplings again, spoke again, and accidentally bit her tongue, and immediately gasped in pain.
She gently bumped Meng Qing's arm with her elbow and handed the spoon over, "While the dumplings are still cold, you can eat them quickly!" β
Meng Qing stared at Jiang Zhilian's used spoon and squinted, "You just bought a spoon?" β
"You don't want to use it?" Jiang Zhilian raised her eyebrows, "Since you don't need it, then you can eat it with your hands!" β
Meng Qing reluctantly took the spoon and ate it.
He hadn't eaten since noon, and he was so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back.
After smelling the fragrance for a long time, my stomach was already rumbling in protest.
The dumplings in the lunch box were a little sticky, and he mixed them with a spoon before scooping one out and putting it in his mouth.
After chewing it twice, he saw Jiang Zhilian take out a brand-new spoon from the pocket of his clothes.
Meng Qing: "......"
Jiang Zhilian divided five by two and killed the last three dumplings left in the lunch box.
Meng Qing: "Don't you still have an unused spoon here?" β
Jiang Zhilian blinked and said seriously: "Yes! I didn't say no! β
Meng Qing wondered, "Then why didn't you take it out for me just now?" β
Jiang Zhilian didn't answer his question, Gu Zi said: "I didn't know that Lin Xiaolu couldn't eat now, so I bought two spoons, and I knew that I would buy one." β
Meng Qing felt that the dumplings in his mouth were not as fragrant as before, "What about me?" β
Jiang Zhilian snorted coldly: "You didn't! β
Meng Qing frowned and asked, "Why didn't I?" Am I not human? Do I not use a spoon for dinner? β
"It's punishment!" Jiang Zhilian repeated: "Punishment for you! β
"What did I do wrong, and I still have to be punished?" Meng Qing couldn't cry or laugh.
Jiang Zhilian rolled her eyes lightly, "My punishment for you is light enough, isn't this still letting you eat dumplings with a spoon?" I don't think the dumplings are cold yet, and it's just right to eat lukewarm now. When I eat it, it's still a little hot! β
Meng Qing ate dumplings with his head bored, slowly, one dumpling for a minute, and the chewing speed was very stable.
After eight minutes of eating, he was still puzzled.
"What the hell am I doing wrong?" Meng Qing slammed the spoon to the edge of the iron lunch box, looked straight at Jiang Zhilian, and said solemnly: "Don't you already know, it was Lin Xiaolu who took the initiative to hug me, and I just haven't had time to push her away yet." She just looked for a short time in the afternoon, and I was afraid that I would stimulate her again and have some accidents when I turned around! β
Jiang Zhilian laughed in her heart.
The scene in front of me is really a bit of the pretentiousness of young men and women in the early days of love.
There is no major right and wrong, there is no matter of principle that touches the bottom line, and in fact there is no real misunderstanding.
But even if they are more energetic with each other, they are not comfortable in their hearts, so they have to say something against their hearts and do some childish actions.
Jiang Zhilian: "Do you want to know why I ran into Lin Qing?" Also wondering why he sent me to the hospital? More curious, why are we holding hands? β
Meng Qing picked up the spoon again and ate the remaining dumplings.
He didn't speak, but in his heart he slandered and protestedβ
"And punish me? I know what the situation is when I and Lin Xiaolu hug, and they are still looking for my fault! What the hell is going on between you and Lin Qing, I haven't figured it out yet, and I haven't investigated it! β
"Aren't you curious? Forget it, I won't waste my tongue. Jiang Zhilian raised her neck and began to appreciate the moonlight, "The moon is really big tonight, it's still comfortable in autumn, it's lukewarm!" The fragrance of osmanthus flowers is everywhere, it smells so good! β
Meng Qing: "......"
Jiang Zhilian only thought that the people around her did not exist, and Gu Zi said: "In two days, I have to add osmanthus sugar lotus to the menu!" Osmanthus bean porridge is also good...... Oh yes, osmanthus almond tofu is sure to be especially popular! Especially girls and children. β
Meng Qing finished eating the dumplings, put down the lunch box and spoon, and said in a light tone: "My mother loves to eat rice osmanthus cake. β
Jiang Zhilian: "That's it, then I'll make a pot for her another day!" β
"You're going to the Qingxiang Canteen today, aren't you? Or did you go to the national cotton factory? Meng Qing stared at Jiang Zhilian seriously, and said solemnly: "I never doubted you from beginning to end, I was just curious!" Just like you. β
