Chapter 819: The Story of Ling and Heng (82)
The moment Qin Qiu saw Feng Ling again, she was in a trance.
She didn’t have such a strong feeling when she first met him. That was probably because her mother was by her side at that time and she was busy taking care of her mother to prevent her from being too agitated. However, this time when she met this young man again, for some reason, she felt very close to him.
Qin Shuke was even more excited. She clutched at her bag, raised her hand, and greeted Feng Ling with a smile, “Hi!”
Feng Ling was a bit surprised. Although she didn’t know this girl well, she still nodded at her although she didn’t have a smile on her face. She was not very good at dealing with strangers, let alone smile at them, especially when she had to face them alone. She would instinctively wrap herself around with a protective cover.
“Why are you in the hospital, Little Fresh Meat?” Qin Shuke looked at the hospital gown that Feng Ling wore and immediately asked in surprise, “What’s wrong with you? Are you sick? ”
Feng Ling looked at Qin Qiu before turning to Qin Shuke, saying, “It’s nothing. I had a little accident and need to receive aerosol therapy in the hospital for a few days, and I’m almost discharged.” With that, she paused and looked at Mrs. Feng who seemed to have something in her eyes. “Mrs. Feng, do you have a heart condition?”
“Yes. Did you hear our conversation just now?”Mrs. Feng looked at her with a smile.
Feng Ling nodded.
Mrs. Feng took Qin Shuke’s hand and walked towards her. When she got closer, she could see Feng Ling’s face better.
The boy in front of her was still fair and tender-skinned, but today he didn’t wear the cold black uniform of the base but a light blue hospital gown, which made him look more amiable. Of course, if his expression was not so cold and calm, people would want to get close to him even more.
“I have a heart condition for more than a decade. I just need some medicine in the hospital.” With that said, Mrs. Feng glanced at several doors nearby. “Are you living in the ward here? Which one do you live in?”
Feng Ling looked at her and did not speak.
Mrs. Feng knew she hadn’t let his guard down yet, so she said softly, “We and Mr. Li are old friends. You are from XI Base and have helped us. Maybe fate made us meet here again. What do you usually like to eat? How about chicken soup? Tomorrow I’ll cook chicken soup for you and put it in a thermos for Shuke to bring you over.”
“No, Mrs. Feng, you’re too kind.”
“It’s all right. I just do what I should.” Mrs. Feng looked at Feng Ling’s face tenderly. “For some reason, I feel exceptionally congenial to you. Every time I meet you, I find you so familiar to me. Believe it or not, you look a bit like me when I was young …”
Feng Ling completely regarded Mrs. Feng’s words as compliments, so she just gave a faint smile but the smile did not reach her eyes. She didn’t even take these words into her heart.
However, Qin Qiu looked at Feng Ling’s face and remembered that her mother would often mention this boy in the past few days. There was really an indescribable feeling in her heart and she felt so close to him.
“You don’t have to be so polite with my aunt. She is very kind to anyone. You see, I’m just her niece but she dotes on me like my mother since I was a child, and she treats other people the same way. Since you helped my grandma and my aunt, they will definitely remember your kindness. Since you are in the hospital, if there are no relatives around you, I will send you chicken broth. Although my aunt is the mistress of the Feng family, she is good at making soups. The soups she makes are very delicious!”
Feng Ling looked at Mrs. Feng who was also looking at her and her eyes seemed to be very emotional.
Feng Ling had to withdraw her gaze. Considering that standing in the hallway seemed not so convenient, she pointed to the ward not far away. “If Mrs. Feng isn’t feeling well, you can go to my ward where there is a sofa, and you can take a rest.”
“OK.” Qin Qiu responded immediately. Qin Shuke had never seen Aunt talk to a stranger so kindly before. She looked at Feng Ling’s handsome face, was very excited, and followed them into the ward with a smile.
After entering the ward, Feng Ling looked at the sofa and saw that it was very clean without stacking anything, so she simply returned to the bed. When she turned around, she saw that they had come in. She really didn’t know how to get along with strangers, so she could only choose to turn around, pick up the disposable paper cups, pour two cups of warm water, and put them on the small table beside the end table.
The sunlight projected from outside the window and fell on Feng Ling’s face, which softened the outline of the boy’s face.
At this angle, Mrs. Feng could vaguely see the collarbone exposed from the collar of Feng Ling’s hospital gown, which was so slender that it didn’t seem to belong to a boy.
Young people may not be particularly clear, but Qin Qiu had an uncle who was a very famous orthopedic surgeon in the United States. When she was very young, her uncle told her that no matter how old men and women were, their bones were completely different in thickness and some details.
This boy’s collarbone…
Qin Qiu’s eyes fell into the boy’s hands that were also slender and white and looked much nicer than other men’s, but because of the long-time training and gun holding, there was a thin layer of cocoons in his palm although they were not obvious.
When her eyes continued to look closely, Feng Ling had turned to get his cell phone.
Looking at the boy who was also much thinner than other men of the same age, Qin Qiu wanted to look more carefully, when a nurse came in to deliver medicine, interrupting the doubts in her mind.
“Aunt, let’s sit over there.” Qin Shuke helped her to the sofa. The nurse put down the medicine and then turned out. When the ward was quiet again, Qin Shuke trotted up to Feng Ling.
Feng Ling turned around and suddenly saw Qin Shuke approaching. She was stunned and looked at the girl who was only about three centimeters shorter than her, wondering why she was smiling so passionately to her. “Miss Qin?”
“I had almost got your phone number last time, but you took my phone and deleted the number.” Qin Shuke said with regret, “Are XI Base’s rules really so strict? You can’t even tell your phone number to any outsider?”
Feng Ling remembered the excuse she used last time in order to delete the phone number and said deadpan, “Yes.”
