Xiao Shi came down from upstairs and finally waited for Cheng Jiu. He immediately rushed up and shouted, "Brother Jiu, you're back?"
Hardly had the words been spoken when Xiao Shi noticed Xin Gan behind Cheng Jiu. She was wrapped in a down jacket and only recognized her as she approached. "Miss Xin, you're here too. Did you run into Brother Jiu?"
Nodding approvingly can be regarded as a response.
Cheng Jiu hummed and said, "Ask the kitchen to cook a bowl of congee with preserved eggs and lean meat."
Xiao Shi asked, "Who wants to eat porridge?" It's so late.
If you are told to go, go.
When Xiao Shi was far away, Cheng Jiu threw the realization on her and said, "I'll take you back to your room first."
Xin Gan and he didn't speak all the way. Before entering the room, she was a little nervous and stole a glance at him. Before she could say a word, she heard him say in a teasing voice, "What? It seems you're very afraid of me?"
"No, no."
She was not afraid at all. She was just uneasy in her heart.
Perhaps due to nervousness, she covered her mouth and began to cough, her face so pale that it evoked pity.
Cheng Jiu held her arm and pulled her into the room. His movements were not gentle, just like those of others.
She lay in bed without even taking off her coat.
Cheng Jiu stood by the bedside, looking down at her and saying, "The climate at the plateau is very changeable. It's normal for you to not adapt when you first come here. You'll just stay at the inn these days. Don't go anywhere. Get used to the environment first."
Xin Gan really wanted to say that she had never been anywhere in the first place. When she saw his calm eyes, she silently shut up.
"Later, Xiao Shi will bring the porridge. You eat it first, then take the medicine and go to sleep."
She nodded and said politely and politely, "Thank you."
"No need. It should be."
This sounded familiar. She had just told him that he should be more discernment.
After Cheng Jiu left the room, she got up, took off her coat and got back into bed.
...
In the kitchen, Xiao Shi was asking the chef of the inn to make congee with preserved eggs and lean meat. He was also hungry and picked up an apple to chew on, chatting with the chef in a daze.
The porridge chef, while checking the heat, said, "Who is that girl who came a few days ago? Just now, I saw that Old Jiu took her out. Was this porridge also made for that girl by Old Jiu?"
Xiao Shi: "I don't know either. Brother Jiu said it's a relative from home. I have no idea which kind of relative it is."
When Cheng Jiu asked him to pick up someone at the airport, he was referring to a relative from home, a little sister. He would stay for a while and then leave, taking the opportunity to travel and have some fun.
Cheng Jiu walked into the kitchen. Xiao Shi immediately noticed and called out, "Brother Jiu."
Cheng Jiu had a powerful presence. Just standing there, one couldn't ignore him.
He looked rather serious at this moment, not to be trifled with. Xiao Shi keenly noticed that he didn't even dare to eat the apple and immediately hid behind him.
Xiao Shi thought he had done something wrong and stood there waiting for the scolding. But after waiting for a while, Cheng Jiu didn't say a word. He carefully glanced at him and found that Cheng Jiu was also looking at him.
"Brother Jiu..."
When you went to pick her up, did she say anything?
Xiao Shi let out a few "ah" sounds, not realizing who she was referring to. He was sluggish for tens of seconds before he understood and said, "No, I didn't say anything either."
Nothing said --
Cheng Jiu turned and left.
Xiao Shi reached out and touched the back of his head: "What else can I say?"
Cheng Jiu walked out of the kitchen, actually thinking that when Xin Gan introduced him, she would tell Xiao Shi that she was his fiancee or something like that, but in the end, there was nothing.
...
Xiao Shi went to deliver congee with preserved eggs and lean meat. Xin Gan got up upon hearing the knock on the door, put on her coat and opened it. Seeing Xiao Shi, she suddenly felt relieved. She was a little afraid of that man. Seeing him made her feel very nervous and uneasy.
