Chapter 13: Amulet
When Liu Xia woke up, night had already crept in. Gao Jingen had already returned from the supermarket, and there was a large bag of ingredients on the table. Gao Jingen was in the kitchen, washing ribs with one hand.
"You've been to the supermarket?" Liu Xia rubbed his eyes and asked.
"Well, I woke up, it's fine, I saw that you were still sleeping, so I went by myself" Gao Jingen looked back at Liu Xia and finished speaking, turned his head and continued to rinse the ribs.
"Put it there, I'll get it" Liu Xia walked over quickly, turned off the faucet, took the ribs out of Gao Jingen's hands, and picked up a handkerchief to wipe Gao Jingen's hands: "You have an injury on your hand, go and rest, and then hand it over to me." ”
"Uh...... Is there anything I can do? Gao Jingen stood behind Liu Xia and asked softly.
"Then you go and take out the medicine box, and when I put the ribs in the pot, I will help you change the medicine," Liu Xia said with a smile.
"OK" Gao Jingen went to the living room after speaking, and Liu Xia was busy in the kitchen alone.
After a while, Liu Xia came to the living room and saw new gauze, iodophor and cotton swabs on the coffee table. Gao Jingen leaned back on the sofa and watched the news broadcast on TV boredly.
Gao Jingen's eyes lit up a lot the second he turned his head to see Liu Xia.
Liu Xia bypassed the coffee table and sat next to Gao Jingen, and carefully removed the gauze on Gao Jingen's hand: "It may hurt a little, you bear with it"
At this time, Gao Jingen was completely melted by Liu Xia's gentleness, looking at Liu Xia's cautious appearance, Gao Jingen's heart was warm, and he selfishly hoped that Liu Xia would not give those gentleness to anyone else.
"It's just a small injury, I was on a mission before, and it was okay to be stabbed in the chest twice by criminals" Gao Jingen felt full of happiness, so he was ashamed to say that he leaked his mouth for a while.
"Chest? Two knives? Liu Xia paused, frowning and looking at Gao Jingen. Then he continued to rub Gao Jingen's wounds.
"It's been a long time ago, I'm alive and kicking now, it's great." Gao Jingen knew that Liu Xia was worried about him.
If Liu Xia knew that Gao Jingen still remembered her when she was on the verge of death, would she be moved?
"It's pretty good, you, you've always been unlucky, you really should ask for a peace talisman."
Liu Xia rolled his eyes at Gao Jingen.
Gao Jingen smiled slightly and did not speak.
"Suddenly remembered, I have a peace charm" After bandaging the wound, Liu Xia said and went back to the room, rummaged through the drawers, and after a while, took out a copper coin strung with red strings. "My grandma asked for me, I don't know if it's useful, I only took it for a while, and then my grandma passed away, I was afraid of seeing things and thinking about people, so I put it away, it's better to put me here than for you."
Liu Xia's tone was natural.
"Grandma asked for you, can't you give it to me?" Gao Jingen was a little embarrassed.
"You dislike it?" Liu Xia asked with a glare.
"No, no, I can't ask for it, come and help me bring it, my hands are inconvenient." Gao Jingen craned his neck.
Liu Xia sat down to help Gao Jingen tie the red rope, and didn't forget to pat Gao Jingen on the neck: "It's okay." The soup base should be almost stewed, and I'll wash the other ingredients. ”
"Okay, call me, I'm so hungry." Gao Jingen touched the peace charm on his chest, and his eyebrows were full of smiles.
Liu Xia returned to Gao Jingen, smiled and nodded, and went straight to the kitchen.
……
"After moving tomorrow, let's have dinner together in the evening, I will call Li Xue, the house matter, thanks to her help" Liu Xia said, not forgetting to chew the food in his mouth.
"Well, okay, you can pack the necessary luggage later, after you go to work tomorrow, I will contact the moving company, and after the move, I will go to meet a comrade-in-arms, and I will not delay dinner."
Gao Jingen nodded, and served a beef ball to Liu Xia with a colander.
“…… Don't you have to eat with your comrades? I can do it alone. Liu Xia blew on the beef balls and took a bite.
"Tomorrow I will probably have lunch with my comrades, and I will be back in the afternoon."
Gao Jingen wanted to leave all his time to Liu Xia.
Even if it's the time of a meal.
"Okay, that's it. If anything changes, you can message me and call me in advance. Liu Xia was almost scalded by the food, and hurriedly drank a sip of orange juice.
The heat from the hot pot made Gao Jingen, who was sitting opposite him, unable to see Liu Xia's face clearly, and in the haze, Gao Jingen's heart was also a little rippling. He didn't understand what he liked about Liu Xia, but he just liked her, and he couldn't help himself.
The greedy Liu Xia didn't notice Gao Jingen's stunnedness, and sandwiched the cooked vegetables for himself, and didn't forget to pick up the cooked meat for Gao Jingen.
"Eat more, such a tall person, the amount of food is not as good as mine." Liu Xia muttered, filled a full colander of meat, and put it in the bowl in front of Gao Jingen.
"You also eat more, don't patronize it for me" At this moment, Gao Jingen had an illusion, like the daily life of an old husband and wife, thinking of this, Gao Jingen showed a casual smile again.
Many people yearn for such a time, to be with their beloved, eat, and chat, which is simply beautiful.
Gao Jingen wanted to confess his love for Liu Xia, but he was afraid that Liu Xia would not accept it, if he ruined the relationship for more than ten years, it was better to keep his distance from the beginning. Unwilling and helpless, Gao Jingen really needs to be strong.
