Gu Qingjiu had no idea that someone was interested in wooing her.
The allergy on Yu Bao’er’s wrist had yet to quell, but her friends had taken the medication away from her. So, after dinner, she went to look for Doctor Nan again at the infirmary after they finished their dinner.
They usually couldn’t visit Doctor Nan, but since they had time now, Gu Qingjiu packed a huge bag of items from Dayi City to pass to Doctor Nan.
It was preserved peaches made by her own mother and they were delicious.
Since she was a child, Gu Qingjiu never enjoyed eating snacks, but the only thing she enjoyed was the preserved peaches her mother made.
Even her neighbors frequently dropped by their house to ask her mother to make some for them, too. It just shows how delicious the peaches were.
There were only slightly over ten exquisite bottles and Yu Bao’er had already consumed three of them.
Gu Qingjiu packed two bottles and then prepared two other bottles for the Chief Instructor.
If Commander Huo didn’t leave, he would have gotten a share too.
But she couldn’t help but wonder whether a fussy person like him, who needed new cutlery for each meal, would like the type of food that commoners like her ate.
When they arrived at the infirmary, Nan Yingxuan was eating.
Gu Qingjiu and Yu Bao’er entered the room and greeted. “Doctor Nan.”
Seeing the two of them come in, Nan Yingxuan flashed a warm smile. “Why are you here?”
Gu Qingjiu stepped forward and smiled as she answered, “Doctor Nan, Bao’er used up all her medication. We’re here for more. Oh, this is for you. My Mom made some preserved peaches, and I brought some for you.”
As she spoke, Gu Qingjiu peeked at the food that Nan Yingxuan was eating, only to realize that he was eating the same things they ate in the cafeteria.
She couldn’t help but feel respect for Nan Yingxuan.
“Oh?” Nan Yingxuan raised his brows gently. He graciously accepted the bag and stood up to retrieve Yu Bao’er’s medication. He added, “Am I the only person receiving this?”
His words sounded as though he was teasing her.
Yu Bao’er popped up from behind, and she quipped, “How can it be? Qingjiu will never forget about the Chief Instructor!”
Gu Qingjiu giggled, and she also explained, “I don’t know many people in the military well. Commander Huo and you treat me very well, and since I have some delightful treats, I wanted to offer some to all of you.”
“Okay.” Nan Yingxuan nodded as he retrieved the medication and noted it in his file. “You wrote Commander He’s name for all the orders you placed with him yesterday. He called me and asked me to pick up all the items. Were you startled after seeing the quantities of cutlery and daily items?”
Hearing Nan Yingxuan’s words, Gu Qingjiu felt incredulous again. “I wasn’t startled, but I just felt that it was unimaginable.”
Yu Bao’er was rather confused. “What are you talking about? Qingjiu, I haven’t even asked you about what happened yesterday. What did the chief instructor ask you to buy?”
Nan Yingxuan pursed his lips. He pondered for a while before replying. “When he used to live back at his home, Commander He led a rather elite lifestyle. Though he toned down here. To him, this is a rather terrible environment to live in.”
It reminded Gu Qingjiu of how He Niancheng had spoken about putting up with what he had now and nodded in agreement. “Yes, I can tell. He seems rather delicate to me…”
If his lifestyle at home had been so lavish, perhaps it was understandable that he behaved like how he did.
Right after finishing her words, Gu Qingjiu heard a cold voice from outside the door.
“Did you say I am very delicate?”
1Upon realizing who it was, Gu Qingjiu shuddered.
How did this person appear without a sound each time?
