Chapter 2831: Veteran Cadre Chu He
“Alright, if you have the time to argue, then you have time to quickly take a shower. It’s getting late, pregnant women should rest early!”
Mu Yanchen urged her.
Meng Qingxue was not used to having him showing such concern.
In the past, he would not say too much, nor would he express himself.
Sometimes, he would keep the nicest remarks in his heart and he would never say them out loud.
However, after this night, he was deeply moved. He also realized that verbalizing some things was not all that embarrassing.
Words to show he cared about her and loved her; an apology if he had done something wrong…
It would be pointless if he didn’t verbalize all these feelings and only hid them in his heart.
He clearly liked her a lot, but if in the event she was sad, and he didn’t give her a hug just because of his own pride, then that would be even more meaningless.
Mu Yanchen coaxed Meng Qingxue to take a shower. After showering, the two of them went to bed to rest.
It’s worth mentioning here, the first moment that Meng Qingxue stepped into the bedroom, she had fallen in love with the design.
It was warm and elegant.
It was homely, but more than that, there was a sense of luxury about it.
This apartment would have cost tens of millions.
…
The next day, when Meng Qingxue rushed over to the hospital, Chu He was nowhere to be seen in the ward. Scared out of her wits, Meng Qingxue ran to inquire at the nurse’s desk. The nurse at the nurse’s desk said that this patient had put on a jacket and left the ward in high spirits early in the morning.
“She must have gone for a walk in the back garden of the hospital, right?” One of the nurses suspected this was the case. “Previously, she’d go for a walk outside the ward building after lunch or dinner. “Although she’s such a young girl, we were remarking that a girl like her, who doesn’t like to play with her phone or seem to have a hobby, totally behaves like a veteran cadre!”
Meng Qingxue’s eyes twitched.
So she wasn’t the only one who thought so.
Chu He was indeed too much like a “veteran cadre”.
Lying in bed, she would only read newspapers and some books. The hospital would provide some books. Although limited, they helped her pass time more easily.
What surprised Meng Qingxue was Chu He’s language ability.
There were three English novels in the hospital.
Because the hospital would occasionally receive foreign patients, they would also provide some foreign language books.
One day, she saw Chu He holding and reading a foreign novel with a serious expression.
She asked half-jokingly, “Can you understand all the English in these books?”
“English was my mother tongue previously,” Chu He said.
“…”
There were too many mysteries surrounding Chu He.
But she had never taken the initiative to mention these things to Meng Qingxue.
…
A public phone booth.
Chu He held the phone and dialed an international number.
After a brief pause, the call went through.
Before the other party could speak, Chu He started, “Lin Mu, it’s me.”
“You are…”
“Vermillion Bird.”
That person couldn’t help but suck in a cold breath. “How is that possible?! Vermillion Bird… Commanding Officer Vermillion Bird has already…”
“I’m not dead yet.”
“Are you really Vermillion Bird? But…”
Chu He interrupted him impatiently, “It’s only been a few years, can’t you recognize my voice?”
The other party obviously wavered.
After all, her voice and tone of speech were exactly the same.
The way she had called him by his name also convinced him that the mysterious caller was indeed Vermillion Bird, who had been missing for several years.
Lin Mu was a member of Interpol’s dispatch committee and worked in the capital.
