Chapter 274 Go Take Care of Him
Lin Qingping sighed and acquiesced.
However, after Wu Tianjiao left, she went to find Chen Xia.
Chen Xia was very excited when she saw her. "I was wondering where this great thing came from, that you vixen would actually give in? So, he's going blind! You actually want me to take care of a blind man for the rest of my life! Lin Qingping, you really know how to think! When he was doing well, you took everything from him, you even gave him all your money. Now, he has nothing, he's penniless, and he's blind, and you're just going to give him to me? You're so great!"
When Chen Xia saw her, she rattled off a whole bunch of complaints.
"Are you done talking?" Lin Qingping asked.
Chen Xia glanced at her, a sly glint in her eyes, and said, "No."
"Then you continue."
Chen Xia suddenly laughed, "And another thing, Brother Chengzi doesn't even remember you?"
Chen Xia burst into laughter, "Lin Qingping, you've actually met your match! Hahaha, you've finally met your match?! Weren't you so arrogant in front of me? He's forgotten who you are now! He only remembers me, right? So, you've come to me to take care of him, haven't you?"
Faced with Chen Xia's arrogant laughter, Lin Qingping only asked one question, "Why didn't you go? Just because he can't see?"
"Otherwise what?" Chen Xia scoffed. "Do you think I'm stupid? You don't want it, and you give it to me? What do you think I am?"
Lin Qingping said coldly, "Go ahead, I'll pay you a salary, consider it as me hiring you as a nanny."
Chen Xia's eyes lit up. "Really?"
"Yes." Anyway, Gu Juncheng's pay slip was given to her. Oh, right, she also gave it to Gu Juncheng when they divorced. In the end, Gu Juncheng gave it to his sister. Later, when Gu Juncheng was injured, Gu Youlian gave it to her.
In other words, Gu Juncheng's bankbook is still with her, so she might as well use Gu Juncheng's money to treat Chen Xia.
Chen Xia looked at her suspiciously, "But the hospital only allows relatives and friends to visit in the afternoon, right?"
“Okay.” Lin Qingping nodded. “Only in the afternoon, but you will be paid for the whole day until he is discharged from the hospital.”
Chen Xia laughed, "It seems like a good deal, but... I can't cook. I live in a dormitory without a kitchen, so I can't bring food."
“It’s okay, I have someone cooking here. I’ll make an extra portion and you can take it to Gu Juncheng.” Even if Chen Xia was “saving costs,” she accepted it, since it was all Gu Juncheng’s money anyway.
Chen Xia shook her head, "I don't want to come to your store to pick it up. It's tiring to transfer several times. You can just bring it to the hospital every day and I'll wait for you there."
Lin Qingping thought for a moment, "I can only promise that I will deliver it to you when I don't have classes. If I do have classes, I will ask Sister Zhao from our shop to deliver it."
"Okay! Deal. I'll wait for you at the hospital tomorrow." Chen Xia left happily.
The next day, Lin Qingping arrived at the hospital on time, carrying the soup that Sister Zhao had cooked.
Chen Xia was already waiting outside the hospital building. He took the soup from her and went upstairs, saying as he left, "With our perfect teamwork, tsk tsk, who would believe you're his ex-wife? By the way, am I visiting as a family member today? A family member, huh!"
Chen Xia smiled slyly, went upstairs, and didn't forget to stab Lin Qingping in the heart.
Lin Qingping suddenly became curious and followed Chen Xia to the ward.
New patients have moved into Gu Juncheng's ward. Chen Xia went in without closing the door, and Lin Qingping, standing outside, could see clearly inside.
Chen Xia was holding a bowl of soup and sweetly called to him, "Brother Chengzi, have some soup. It's fish soup today, it's good for your wound."
Lin Qingping watched as Gu Juncheng obediently let Chen Xia help him up, and then Chen Xia used a spoon to feed Gu Juncheng the soup.
Gu Juncheng cooperated and drank it down in one gulp.
After finishing the drink, even with her eyes covered by gauze, she looked in Chen Xia's direction and said very gently, "Xia Xia, you've finally come."
There was absolutely no coldness or disdain towards Lin Qingping.
Chen Xia then held up the soup bowl and, in a voice like she was coaxing a child—or, as she would say years later—simply patted it on the back, "Yes! How could I not come? I even made you some fish soup, isn't it delicious?"
"It's delicious." Gu Juncheng took another sip.
Lin Qingping: ??? Was it Chen Xia who made it? Besides, that's not the point. Isn't the point Gu Juncheng's attitude? She brought him chicken soup, and he looked like he was taking medicine. But the fish soup, which was also made by her, he drank so obediently and even said it was delicious? Is love really the sweetest candy?
Chen Xia was even happier and asked him, "Who makes the better soup, me or Lin Qingping?"
Gu Juncheng became unhappy. "Don't mention this person, okay? Everyone talks about her in front of me. Do I really have any relationship with her? If I do, why don't I remember anything about her? Even if I do, I must have had my reasons."
Chen Xia was still not satisfied and insisted on asking, "No, Brother Chengzi, I want you to tell me, which soup tastes better, the one I made or the one she made!"
"Do you even need to ask?" Gu Juncheng said, "Of course it's because your stew is delicious. I don't want to drink the ones she brought."
Ha, he's acting all aggrieved!
Lin Qingping felt that this scene, which was more like a public display of affection, was better left unwatched.
As she turned around, she heard the family member of the patient in the next bed ask Gu Juncheng, "Is this your wife?"
"Yes, that's right." Her words were full of gentleness.
Lin Qingping was about to laugh. "Wife? She's your ex-wife, the nanny I paid to hire for you! You're happy now, but you'll regret it later! Your nanny job only lasts until you're discharged from the hospital. Once you're out and your 'wife' is gone, you'll be all better off!"
Lin Qingping laughed, but as she laughed, a pang of sadness welled up inside her, and she felt like crying. What was wrong with her?
Lin Qingping waited downstairs for Chen Xia to come out and then took the bowl and thermos back to her.
Just as she estimated that Gu Juncheng should have finished eating, Chen Xia came downstairs.
Chen Xia handed her the things, a look of victorious pride on her face. "By the way, I'm going upstairs to keep him company. You can take these and go ahead."
Lin Qingping remained silent.
Chen Xia laughed and said, "I've noticed that Brother Cheng has become incredibly clingy. I was only out for a short while, and he was so afraid I'd leave that he wouldn't let me out. I told him I was washing the dishes and would come right back, and only then did he let me go."
"Really?" Lin Qingping smiled. "That's good."
"Isn't that right? You should say it's all thanks to your excellent training! He wasn't this clingy before." Chen Xia smiled, looking like she was amused by her.
Lin Qingping hadn't actually trained him at all. How many times a year could he come back? He was only home for school in the capital, so they saw each other more often. He was always understanding of the hardships of being a military wife, and he'd always been that good to her...
Thinking of this, Lin Qingping quickly stopped herself from thinking about the past...
“Speaking of which, if he really becomes this adorable, I might consider changing my mind. Even if he can’t see, it’s not impossible for me to stay with him for the rest of my life. After all, we have a foundation of affection.” Chen Xia looked at her with a broad smile.
