Rebirth of the Prime Minister's Daughter: Not to be Trifled With

Chapter 196 Xi'er, burdened with worries

A short while later, Xi'er arrived outside the military doctor's barracks carrying a large bowl of steaming wontons.

Outside the barracks, Xi'er gently knocked on the door. "Medic, my young lady asked me to bring you some wontons. Are you there?"

A moment later, the army doctor's strong voice came from inside, "Oh, it's Miss Xi'er. The door isn't locked, come in!"

After hearing this, Xi'er slowly pushed open the door of the barracks and carefully walked in.

Seeing this, the army doctor looked at Xi'er and burst into laughter, then asked in a low voice, "Miss Xi'er, am I that scary?"

After hearing this, Xi'er looked at the military doctor, shook her head slightly nervously, and her voice became a little incoherent, "Military doctor, no...no, you're really not scary!"

After hearing this, the military doctor looked at Xi'er and asked in a gentle tone, "Miss Xi'er, didn't you bring me wontons?"

After hearing this, Xi'er looked at the wontons in her hand and said somewhat awkwardly, "Medical officer, I almost forgot about it if you hadn't mentioned it!"

After Xi'er finished speaking, she hurriedly and awkwardly handed the wontons to the army doctor. Upon seeing this, the army doctor glanced at Xi'er, smiled slightly, and accepted the wontons from her.

The military doctor sat elegantly at the table, scooping up wontons with a spoon while also putting kimchi into his mouth with chopsticks.

Xi'er stood quietly to the side, watching the military doctor eat wontons. It was such a peaceful and serene scene!

After a while, Xi'er asked in a low voice, "Doctor, are these wontons tasty? Do they suit your taste?"

After hearing this, the military doctor gently put down the spoon he was using to scoop wontons and the chopsticks he was using to pick up kimchi, looked at Xi'er, and smiled, a smile tinged with amusement.

"Of course these wontons are delicious! Especially since such a beautiful and kind girl like you, Xi'er, personally delivered them, how could they not be delicious?"

Upon hearing this, Xi'er glanced at the military doctor, then quickly lowered her head shyly. Her little face instantly turned as red as an apple, making her incredibly adorable!

Seeing this, the military doctor continued to tease her, "Miss Xi'er, did I say something wrong?"

After hearing this, Xi'er composed herself, looked up at the army doctor, shook her head slightly, and said nothing. Then, Xi'er ran away without looking back.

Seeing this, the army doctor smiled as he watched Xi'er flee in disarray, and couldn't help but think to himself, "She really is a very lovely girl!"

The medic stared blankly at the doorway, not even noticing a soldier approaching. "Medic, what are you looking at?"

The soldier's sudden words pulled him back to reality. He quickly composed himself and asked in a low voice, "It's nothing. Did you need something?"

After hearing this, the soldier glanced at the medic without showing any emotion and said in a low voice, "Medic, the general sent me to discuss the next steps and the prevention and control of the epidemic with you."

After listening, the military doctor looked at the soldiers and nodded slightly. Then, he continued to slowly eat the remaining wontons in his bowl.

Upon seeing this, the soldier unconsciously swallowed hard. When he arrived, he noticed that Xi'er had brought over the wontons, but he had been hiding in the shadows, too embarrassed to disturb the two of them.

When Xi'er came out, she ran away.

"Did something happen between the army doctor and Miss Xi'er? I'll have to find a chance to ask Miss Xi'er later," the soldier thought to himself.

Suddenly, he remembered that he had come to see the military doctor. He glanced briefly in the direction Xi'er had left and slowly walked into the doctor's room.

The soldier chatted with the medic for a short while before leaving the medic's room. A short while later, he returned to the general's quarters to report back.

Meanwhile, Xi'er quietly pondered the general's words in her room. She fell into deep thought, a feeling she had never experienced before, and she truly didn't know what was wrong with her.

After a while, Su Yun Chu returned to the room. She looked at Xi'er and asked with a slight smile, "Xi'er, what's wrong with you?"

"He's been acting strangely since he came back from the medic's. Did something happen?"

Upon hearing this, Xi'er quickly composed herself, turned around, looked at Su Yun Chu, and shook her head slightly, "Miss, it's really nothing!"

After hearing this, Su Yun Chu didn't press Xi Er for details, so she simply glanced at Xi Er and nodded without saying a word.

Su Yun Chu sat down opposite Xi Er. She poured herself a cup of tea, took a small sip with graceful movements, and slowly put the teacup down.

Then, she chatted happily with Xi'er, and as they talked, they started talking about some embarrassing things that happened when they were young, as if they had returned to their childhood.

Before they knew it, it was getting dark, but they were still sitting together chatting quietly, as if it were a peaceful and idyllic scene.

Just then, the military doctor arrived outside Su Yun Chu's room and gently knocked on the doorknob. "Dr. Su, Miss Xi'er, are you there?"

Upon hearing this, Xi'er quickly walked to the door, slowly opened it, looked up at the military doctor, and lowered her head slightly embarrassed the moment their eyes met.

Seeing this, the military doctor glanced at Xi'er, a faint smile appearing on his lips. Then, the military doctor slowly followed behind Xi'er.

A moment later, the military doctor came to Su Yun Chu and said in a low voice, "Dr. Su, I've come to invite you and Miss Xi'er to have dinner together."

"It's also to thank you for treating me to wontons; they were truly the most delicious wontons I've ever eaten." As the military doctor said this, he unconsciously looked in Xi'er's direction.

Su Yun Chu followed the army doctor's gaze and saw that Xi'er had lowered her head shyly, looking quiet and gentle, unlike her usual lively self.

Su Yun Chu knew that Xi Er must be hiding something from her and was too embarrassed to tell her.

She absolutely had to help Xi'er thoroughly investigate the military doctor's character and see if he was truly someone she could entrust her life to.

After hearing this, Su Yun looked at the military doctor, then at Xi'er, and said in a low voice,

"Medic, it's nothing! I just thought these wontons tasted delicious, so I thought I'd pack a few portions to bring back for you to try."

After listening, the military doctor looked at Su Yun Chu, nodded slightly, and said with a light smile, "Dr. Su, these wontons really taste delicious, I really like them!"

After listening, Su Yun Chu glanced at the military doctor and nodded slightly. Then, Su Yun Chu and Xi Er followed the military doctor to the front hall for dinner.

The dining table in the front hall was laden with many exquisite and delicious dishes, and the military doctor warmly invited Su Yun Chu and Xi Er to take their seats.

During the meal, the military doctor glanced at Xi'er, then at Su Yun Chu, and spoke in a low voice.

"Dr. Su, Miss Xi'er, please feel free to serve us whatever you like. Don't be shy! We are just a few uncouth people, so please forgive us if we are not hospitable enough."
