Chapter 26: Chapter 26

There was a variety of rich and fresh ingredients in the fridge.

First of all, Jian Yiling made chicken soup. She left the chicken soup to simmer on the fire.

Jian Yuncheng needed some soup to supplement him.

The second dish Jian Yiling prepared was ‘Chicken, mushroom and ham threads in a consomme’.

This dish required numerous different ingredients to be cut into very fine and thin shreds.

Not only did this dish depend on knife work, but it also depended on patience.

It just happened to be that Jian Yiling required practice for her surgery. Although cutting vegetables and surgery were two very different things, this sort of cutting could also be used in practicing and developing her skills.

Jian Yiling found the ingredients that were required to make the dish from the fridge. Pork, chicken breast, winter bamboo shoots, mushrooms, and ham.

There were all common ingredients in the Jian family kitchen.

After cutting up the ingredients, she placed them into a plate and began to steam them.

Finally, she boiled some okra. Green vegetables were very important to eat.

During the time where the soup simmered and the dishes were being steamed, Jian Yiling went to the table next to the kitchen and took out her computer for a while.

Almost an hour later, the soup was ready.

For two people, there were two dishes and one soup. There was a healthy combination of meat and vegetables.

At this time, Jian Yuncheng also came downstairs. This was because it had almost taken an hour and he felt that takeaway was a bit slow today.

When he arrived downstairs, he saw hot and fresh food on the table.

The fragrance of the food permeated the room and made people incredibly hungry.

Jian Yuncheng was probably starving. He ate two bowls of rice and drank an extra bowl of soup at the end.

Jian Yuncheng had to admit that the takeaway food that Jian Yiling ordered was quite good. Although the food delivery took quite a while, it was worth the wait.

After dinner, Jian Yiling returned to her room and opened the parcels one by one. Within one of the parcels, there was a mini 4G camera.

It was in a cube shape and was no bigger than a pencil sharpener.

It had a memory card and could be directly connected to a mobile hotspot.

Jian Yiling placed the camera into her bag.

The second parcel had black woolen thread and knitting needles.

Jian Yiling wrapped the wool around the needle and began to knit. She used the most common flat needles.

She didn’t finish knitting everything in one sitting. After knitting for a while, she went to her study to do other things.

Jian Yiling preferred the combination of working occasionally and resting occasionally. She liked combining mental work and manual work.

At eleven o’clock, Jian Yuncheng came to Jian Yiling’s study room to visit her.

He found out that she was asleep at the table.

In order to catch up with progress, Jian Yiling hardly slept in the last week.

In the previous week, after she got tutored by Qin Chuan every single day, she returned to her bedroom. From that time onwards, she was busy in the middle of the night. She went to sleep at around the same time that Jian Yuncheng did.

Jian Yuncheng’s burrows furrowed slightly when he saw Jian Yiling’s appearance when sleeping.

Her small face looked thin and haggard.

Was it because she had too many arrangments in the last few days that she hardly got time to rest? Was she too exhausted?

Jian Yuncheng walked to the desk and picked up Jian Yiling. He planned to carry her back to her own room and let her sleep there.

What he didn’t expect was that Jian Yiling had woken up in fright.

She instinctively began to struggle and her eyes were filled with terror.

It was only when she saw the person who had touched her was Jian Yuncheng that the panic in her eyes gradually calmed down.

Jian Yiling wasn’t used to the touch of other people.

As a member of the medical staff, she had lacked the touch of her loved ones ever since a young age.

Due to this factor, this habit was not easy to break.

Jian Yiling’s panic and fright had shocked Jian Yuncheng.

At that moment, there was an emotion in Jian Yiling’s eyes that Jian Yuncheng had never expected.

Even now that she had stopped struggling, Jian Yuncheng could still sense that Jian Yiling was extremely tense and nervous.
