Chapter 22: 9.3

Her small head lifted many times to glance at Guo Chao Ming and Qin Xiao, lifting and lowering, both were eating.

In truth, just now, Bai Xia Xia was hesitating, about whether she should loudly make some cries to ask for food for herself.

But, how to explain it?

A cat asking for food was normal, but for Bai Xia Xia, it would have been her first time doing it, the idea had turned around many circles in her head, but it was stuck in her mouth.

As if there was a psychological barrier, she was used to being a human. After becoming a wild cat, she solved her food issue by herself, and if she really had to open her mouth… There’s a sense of embarrassment, a shameful feeling when speaking out.

The cat’s round head buried into the big lunchbox, it looked very cute. She licked many mouthfuls of rice porridge, then thought: Guo Chao Ming is someone who has raised cats. In the beginning when he told me, that he had bought food for me, I thought that he was joking. The reason why he didn’t give it to me at the start, is it perhaps because he wanted to wait for the rice porridge to cool down, before giving it to me?

After all, how would cats know to avoid with the tongue when eating.

They would definitely be burned.

The thought lingered in her mind, then Bai Xia Xia also thought: I’m truly lucky, to have encountered such heartwarming people.

Three humans and a cat silently ate food[1].

The afterglow of the setting sun fell on the ground, orange red glit-like rays of light shone into the ward through the window.

Fine particles of light dust were clear to the sight, there was a very warm feeling.

“Peng, peng, peng!”

“Peng, peng, peng!”

Heavy and big knocking sounds landed impatiently, Song Bei slightly frowned, put down his chopsticks preparing to stand up, but Guo Chao Ming’s actions were faster, a pair of big, long legs moved to the side of the door in a few steps.

Opening the door abruptly, the guest that was heavily knocking did not notice, still with their hand on the air moving to knock again. The room’s door was suddenly opened, the space in front of her emptied, and she followed the inertia of her arm and stumbled two steps to the front.

Guo Chao Ming did not have the intention of supporting her either, so he appropriately got out of the way. That person wobbled a bit before steadying her body, and her expression instantly turned dark.

Bai Xia Xia’s sensitive insight allowed her to catch that woman’s change of expression in that split moment, from the beginning to end, not even a second passed, it was so fast that people would be caught unprepared.

The person that came looked to be around her forties, dressed up gently and virtuously, no brands could be seen from the clothes, but based on Bai Xia Xia’s last lifetime’s insight, each piece, however, was exquisite.

The woman revealed a slight gentle smile: “Qin Xiao, I heard that you were injured during a mission, your dad told me to come and see you. Don’t be impulsive in the future again…”

Bai Xia Xia blinked, hardly believing that the woman who was talking so gently now was the same person as the one who had fiercely knocked on the door heavily and strongly.

Guo Chao Ming held both of his arms around his chest, remaining silent while leaning on the wall like a gate guardian, lazily standing by the door, waiting.

“So Colonel Song was also here.” Wen Qiao Hui said a few words of greetings to Song Bei, delicately asked Qin Xiao if his wounds were serious, how many days he had to live in the hospital…

Asking about his well-being, extremely considerate. She even explained while laughing about the matter from her knocking just now: “I’m very sorry, wasn’t it because I heard about the news of Qin Xiao getting injured and living in the hospital, I was simply too anxious. His dad too, calling on the phone without stop. In a moment of fluster, my knocking became a bit strong, I never thought, that it would disturb you.”

“You didn’t, you didn’t.” Bai Xia Xia discovered that Song Bei’s smile was the same as the one he had when she first saw him.

A cozy and approachable person, able to leave a good impression on people just by looking. However, it also faintly carried the manner of a colonel-level superior, in full stance: “Qin Xiao’s wounds aren’t serious, if there’s no problem, this time, it’ll be another Second Class Medal of Merit.”

“Qin Xiao is a good comrade, sigh, he’s just a bit too impulsive.” Song Bei cheerfully said: “But, he’s young and should be this bit impetuous, so that in the future, he’ll be able to do great things in the future.”

Wen Qiao Hui came to visit Qin Xiao, but most of the time was spent socializing with Song Bei.

Bai Xia Xia could not help but look at Qin Xiao, the coldness and sharpness between Qin Xiao’s brows practically came through his bones. With Wen Qiao Hui’s gentle and fragmented words by her ears, Bai Xia Xia lowered her head a bit worried, getting closer to the side of the bed to rub Qin Xiao’s tense arms.

Qin Xiao’s hospital gown was rolled up above his arm, revealing a small patch of the forearm. His skin felt the soft warmth, he slightly paused, turned his head, and saw a round head with thin cat ears rubbing on him. Qin Xiao moved his arm, so Bai Xia Xia softly called out once.

The cry was delicate and frail, sounding very vague. Qin Xiao, though, got the feeling of being consoled, he did not know if it was a coincidence or if it was really consoling him.

The intelligent pet seemed to be able to perceive people’s emotions, Qin Xiao was not able to guess through it. But, he saw that the cat was staring at him, and the depression and frustration from seeing Wen Qiao Hui dispersed a bit. The irritation suppressed in the pure black eyes were not as heavy anymore, and instead, an extremely light smiling expression was revealed. He unconsciously gingerly lifted his hand and turned it to stroke Bai Xia Xia’s head.

Warm softness met his skin. Its fluffiness was so cute that it made people’s mood become three parts better.

Wen Qiao Hui glanced at the dirty Bai Xia Xia, disgust fleeted by her eyes, but the smile on her face was still full on, kind and gentle.

The hand that Qin Xiao used to hold the lunchbox was not turning white from exerting strength anymore, he was so indifferent that he became calm. He occasionally transferred some small side dishes to Bai Xia Xia, lowering his head himself to silently drink the chicken soup, nevertheless, the indifference between his brows became even more concentrated than before Wen Qiao Hui came.

There was a very interesting matter: Wen Qiao Hui enthusiastically thanked Song Bei, thanking him for helping to take care of Qin Xiao.

Song Bei intentionally praised Qin Xiao from all angles, his stance was almost as if he was trying to praise him into the heavens. Lastly, he sighed and concluded: “Qin Xiao, this kid, I really wish he was my own son.”

Wen Qiao Hui smile became increasingly fake, and in the end, it almost fell.

A standard virtuous housewife smile, it was hung on her face like a mask, and she very directly said: “Please don’t joke Colonel Song, later, if Old Qin knows that I made him lose his son, won’t he get angry with me!”

After saying those words, Wen Qiao Hui excused herself saying that she had something to attend to at home, immediately standing to leave. That attitude, it was as if there was a wolf chasing after her in the back, not wanting to stay there for even one more second.

Bai Xia Xia doubtfully scratched her ear, glanced at the cold and expressionless Qin Xiao, and caught the scent of family drama.

This gentle Miss Wen that couldn’t try harder to write ‘fake mode’ on her face, and the Minister Qin that was mentioned by her… there’s an eighty percent that they’re Qin Xiao’s biological father and stepmother.

Tsk, this Miss Wen didn’t even look much at Qin Xiao after entering the room. In any case, she was here to visit Qin Xiao, but when she spoke, her eyes were ambiguous, and later, she completely ignored Qin Xiao. As if there was no such person, Bai Xia Xia was unable to guess if she did so because of guilt or hate, or maybe because of another reason, that caused her to not dare to look at Qin Xiao.

Translator’s comments:

That Miss Wen doesn’t have good vibes.
