Chapter 136: I Want to Woo Doctor Nan
Why was she always caught red-handed each time she spoke ill about that person?
The atmosphere was extremely tense.
Yu Bao’er found the voice rather familiar and her mind went blank from shock.
She didn’t even dare to move an inch and felt that her spine was completely frozen.
On the other hand, Gu Qingjiu wasn’t badly affected. At least she still had the guts to turn around to look at He Niancheng.
He still looked as indifferent as usual. He appeared as confident and honorable, and the look in his eyes remained dominant and sharp. Gu Qingjiu felt that he probably wasn’t angry.
She heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly corrected herself. “Nothing, Chief Instructor, I said it wrong.”
An obedient subordinate would quickly admit to her mistakes.
“What did you say wrong?”
A cold smile appeared on He Niancheng’s face. With his long legs, he strode over from the door.
He had an oppressive look in his eyes that even Gu Qingjiu couldn’t help but lower her head and decide she’d better stay quiet.
“I think you guys have been having a heated discussion about me here.”
His voice was as cold as the winter. Other than sounding icy cold, she couldn’t hear and make out any other emotions he had.
“Commander He, we were only talking about you but look at how you’ve frightened your soldiers.”
Nan Yingxuan spoke up to ease the tension in the air. Looking at Gu Qingjiu, he chuckled. “Qingjiu even brought something for you.”
Hearing those words, Gu Qingjiu understood that Nan Yingxuan was helping her by diverting his attention. She presented the other oilpaper packaging in her hand to He Niancheng.
“Chief Instructor, this is a snack that my Mom made. They are preserved peaches, and I think they’re delicious. I brought some for you to try, so I hope you won’t mind.”
As she spoke, her voice was stable and didn’t sound particularly nervous.
Raising her head, she looked at He Niancheng. Her eyes were clear, and it made her look as though she wouldn’t even be bothered if He Niancheng rejected her.
He Niancheng glanced at her and a cold glint flashed across his long and narrow eyes.
He finally looked at the oilpaper packaging in her hands.
Oilpaper packaging was often used to pack certain local food. Although there was a greasy glint to it, it was actually a clean way to package food.
There wasn’t anything amiss about the packaging.
He ought to reject her.
He had never eaten food that others offered him, too.
However…
It was as though something had possessed him, He Niancheng accepted the food with a frown on his face.
In contrast to his long, slender, and pale fingers, the oilpaper packaging stood out.
“I will give it a taste later.”
As he spoke, Nan Yingxuan felt rather surprised too.
He then felt intrigued.
Never did he expect He Niancheng to really accept her offer.
If He Niancheng wanted to turn someone down, he wouldn’t even care about her feelings.
It was apparent from how he had treated his recruits last time.
Yet, He Niancheng accepted it.
As Yu Bao’er looked at the packaging in He Niancheng’s hands, she swallowed. If the Chief Instructor were to reject it, she would take it back to enjoy it herself. But it was a pity that the Chief Instructor accepted it!
Shouldn’t a macho man like him not like such sweet treats?
Seeing that He Niancheng had accepted her offer, a smile appeared on Gu Qingjiu’s face.
After recording the medication properly in his file, Nan Yingxuan passed it to the two ladies. They bade the Chief Instructor and Doctor Nan goodbye and left.
On their way back, Yu Bao’er muttered, “It’s weird. The Chief Instructor is often around the infirmary. Is he so close to Doctor Nan already after such a short time?”
The corners of Gu Qingjiu’s curled up as she smiled. “You’re so silly. With Chief Instructor’s personality, do you think he’ll get so close to Doctor Nan in a short span of time? It shows that they were already friends.”
