Both mother and daughter were chatting in the room.
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door.
Then, Xia Zhongcheng poked his head in with a smile.
His voice was especially gentle and his manner was very gentlemanly. "May I come in? I hope I'm not disturbing you. "
Xu Jingya immediately stood up and said, "Come! Xiao Xia! Come in quickly! We're just chatting. There's nothing to be disturbed about! "
Xia Zhongcheng entered the house graciously.
His hands were full of fruits, malted milk powder, various tonics, and even milk powder.
Xu Jingya smiled and said, "Xiao Xia, you're so considerate."
Xia Zhongcheng was a little embarrassed and said, "I didn't know what to buy. I just walked around the store and asked the salesperson. She said that it's best to bring these things when visiting a patient, so I bought everything! Auntie, don't laugh at me! I've become stupid from staying in the military academy! I don't know how to woo girls! "
He didn't stand on ceremony.
As soon as he entered the house, he spoke openly about his intentions!
Xu Jingya nodded knowingly … Since he was here to woo her daughter, she had to create some opportunities for him, right?
She turned around and picked up the thermos. "I'll go get some water. Xiao Xia, have a seat first."
Yun Jingqi grabbed her mother and said, "Mom, don't go."
She looked a little embarrassed.
While Xia Zhongcheng wasn't paying attention, she gave Xu Jingya a look that said, "Don't be like this."
Xu Jingya's heart ached for her daughter. While she was hesitating … Xia Zhongcheng said, "Auntie, I'll go get some water."
He leaned over and took the thermos. Without another word, he really went to get some water.
After a while, he came back and picked up the cups on the coffee table. "The water is a little cold. I'll change it to a warmer one."
He really poured two cups of lukewarm water. He placed one on Yun Jingqi's bed and handed the other to Xu Jingya.
This Staff Officer Xia … was quite gentle and considerate.
Xu Jingya smiled and gave this child a few more points in her heart.
She had thought that the other party was a young master with an excellent family background. She didn't expect him to be someone who could put down his status to take care of others.
Xia Zhongcheng pointed to the sofa next to him. "Can I sit down? I'd like to have a word with you. "
Xu Jingya nodded. "You're welcome. Sit! If you have something to say, say it. "
Xia Zhongcheng sat firmly with his hands on his knees. His back was ramrod straight … One look and one could tell that he was a disciplined soldier!
He pondered for a moment. "Initially, there were some things that I wanted to talk about after Xiaoqi's body had completely recovered. However, after returning home last night, I couldn't fall asleep no matter how hard I tossed and turned. I'm a straightforward person and can't hide things from my heart, especially when it comes to relationships. I've never come into contact with them before. I didn't expect … it to be so torturous."
Being tormented by feelings … to the point of being unable to sleep?
This "Comrade Little Xia" was quite straightforward.
Xu Jingya pursed her lips and smiled.
Yun Jingqi was embarrassed and her face turned red. She dragged her voice and said, "Staff Officer Xia … what are you doing?"
Xia Zhongcheng widened his eyes righteously. "Am I not obvious enough? I'm wooing you. "
"Cough, cough, cough …"
Yun Jingqi couldn't catch her breath and coughed violently.
Xia Zhongcheng hurriedly stood up. His hand was halfway out, but he retracted it … and sat back down resentfully.
Xu Jingya stroked her daughter's back. "Be careful, don't cough and damage your wound!"
After a while, Yun Jingqi seemed to have stabilized.
Xu Jingya helped her up and placed a few pillows behind her back to make her daughter more comfortable. "Xiaoqi, since Staff Officer Xia is already here and has already said half of what he wanted to say, why don't you let him finish? Don't be too petty."
Yun Jingqi didn't say anything.
Her mother had already spoken, what else could she say?
Xia Zhongcheng grinned and glanced gratefully at Xu Jingya. He didn't forget to compliment her at the right time. "Auntie, you're so forthright! You're a heroine! Xiaoqi is quite like you. "
Oh my!
He praised both mother and daughter in one go.
This staff officer … wasn't just for show. His wit and eloquence were top-notch.
Xia Zhongcheng coughed softly and continued, "I'm a soldier and I don't like to beat around the bush, especially when it comes to relationships. I don't have the time to be in a long-term relationship, and work doesn't allow it either. But this doesn't mean that I don't know how to be gentle!"
"…"
"Auntie, no matter what you think, whether you think I'm an old mother-in-law or a brother-in-law, I'll make it clear to you. If Jingqi marries me, I'll definitely treat her well in the future."
Yun Jingqi blushed. "Who's your mother-in-law? We've only known each other for a short time and you're already talking about marriage? Isn't this too fast? No! Don't spout nonsense! "
Xia Zhongcheng shook his head. "You might think that we've only known each other for a short time, but in fact, to me, you've lived in my heart for a long time."
Oh my!
How affectionate!
He turned to Xu Jingya sincerely. "Auntie, I'm not afraid to tell you directly. Originally, I was going to be assigned to the Air Force after I graduated this time. My father had already contacted them for me! But later, I went to watch a performance and they said that Jingqi wasn't married yet. My heart wavered and I took the initiative to request to be assigned to the Air Force. I also rushed to be by Commander Yun's side … "
"…"
"In fact, to put it simply, I've also put in a lot of effort to chase after Jingqi."
He had really put in a lot of effort!
Everyone knew that the Air Force's treatment was much better than the Air Force's. Furthermore, his father was in the Air Force and he grew up in the military compound. If he was assigned to be a staff officer there, he might be promoted faster and it might be more beneficial for his future.
Xu Jingya lowered her head and didn't say a word.
Xia Zhongcheng's words … were already enough to show his sincerity.
Staff Officer Xia's voice was leisurely and exceptionally pleasant. "I know that Jingqi has a lot on her mind …"
His words were tactful.
He didn't mention Tong Che's name … so as to save everyone's face.
"… I know that Jingqi has a lot on her mind, but from this point of view, not only am I not afraid, but I can also see that she's a very loyal girl. This has strengthened my determination to pursue her. "
"…"
"Auntie, the reason why I'm saying all this in front of you today is to show you that I don't have any grudges against Jingqi's past. If I have any petty thoughts in my words or actions in the future, you can use my words today to throw at me. Since I've said it … I won't change it! "
What he said …
Both mother and daughter lowered their heads and didn't continue the conversation.
It was said that love was selfish.
Men were more petty.
For someone who didn't remember the "past" and even personally saw a woman sacrifice her life for her ex-boyfriend, he could still calmly say that he didn't care about her past as long as she was with him sincerely …
A man like this was really rare and precious.
Xu Jingya glanced at her daughter. Although she didn't say anything, her eyes were full of encouragement.
In her heart … she really felt that this young man was not bad.
Xia Zhongcheng was indeed a straightforward person … He went straight to the point. "What I said today is an official proposal! Simply put, if Jingqi agrees to marry me, I'll go home today and tell my parents to prepare for the wedding immediately! "
Ah?
That was too fast.
Yun Jingqi lowered her head and thought for a long time. Just as she was about to say something …
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door.
The few people in the room turned around to take a look …
Tong Che was here.
This was going to be lively.
Tong Che and Staff Officer Xia looked at each other and were a little stunned. Then, they smiled awkwardly.
To be honest, Xu Jingya didn't know what to do in this situation.
She could only let Tong Che into the room first.
Tong Che was as elegant as ever. He was wearing a camel-colored woolen coat with a turtleneck sweater of the same color, a pair of dark blue velvet pants, and a dark blue scarf around his neck … The color combination was impeccable. Coupled with his outstanding appearance and elegant temperament, he was really hard to look away from.
He was completely different from Xia Zhongcheng …
Tong Che didn't bring any food. According to the customs of the Westerners … It was understandable that he was a mixed-race person who had studied abroad. He elegantly held a bunch of flowers for visiting a sick person.
The flowers were pink lilies!
They didn't know where he got them … In that era when people just had enough to eat, who would send flowers? There were no flower shops either! Especially in the winter in the northeast, it was considered good if anyone could pick half a handful of plum blossoms. He actually had the ability to get such a large bunch of blooming lilies. It seemed that Director Tong was indeed different from the past.
The four people in the room didn't know what to say for a moment.
Tong Che was still the calm one. He spoke first … but his words were directed at Xu Jingya. "Auntie, I'm here to see Jingqi. Looking at her, she seems to be recovering well?"
Yun Jingqi's originally calm expression became a little shy at this moment. "Mom, help me sit up. I want to talk to you properly …"
Xia Zhongcheng tactfully said, "How about this? I should go back too!"
Just as he stood up, Tong Che said, "Wait …"
