Chapter 153 - 153: Commander Bao
Tang Jinghong had been paying attention to Chu Qingzhi. When he saw her open her eyes, he was immediately overwhelmed with a sense of joy. “Qingzhi!” Chu Qingzh got up and sat up. She reached out to caress Tang Jinghong’s face. “Jinghong, don’t worry. I’m fine.”
In the next second, Tang Jinghong pulled Chu Qingzhi into his arms. It was as if only then could his heart be at ease. “Qingzhi, I’ve never been so afraid.”
Chu Qingzhi gently patted Tang Jinghong’s back to comfort the man who was crying for him.
“Jinghong, I realized that you don’t believe me.” She felt Tang Jinghong’s body trembling slightly and joked to divert his attention.
Tang Jinghong let go of Chu Qingzhi and said with a serious expression, “Qingzhi, I do believe you. I believe every word you say.”
Chu Qingzhi pointed at the sky and said unhappily, “I told you that I’d wake up in three days, but you didn’t believe it. It’s still some time before three days are up.”
“It’s been more than three days.” At this point, Tang Jinghong still felt a lingering fear in his heart.
Chu Qingzhi continued to argue. “It’s not dawn yet. At dawn, it’ll be exactly three days.”
Tang Jinghong gave in to Chu Qingzhi and said obediently, “Alright, it was my fault. I was too worried and my mind was in a mess. You’re right.”
As long as she woke up, she was right even if she said the moon was the sun.
Chu Qingzhi stared at Tang Jinghong and suddenly felt a lump in her throat. From the time she met Jinghong until she fainted, Jinghong had always kept himself neat and clean. Now, his chin was covered with stubble.
She reached out to hold Tang Jinghong’s face and kissed him.
This time, it was not a light kiss but a passionate one.
Tang Jinghong was slightly stunned. Then, he reached out and held the back of Chu Qingzhi’s head as he kissed back.
Tang Jinghong’s kiss was domineering and aggressive, but it was also exceptionally gentle. Unknowingly, Chu Qingzhi was immersed in gentleness.
Yuan Hongjun and Bao Linjiang’s faces were red. They quietly retreated and sat on the stools outside, pretending to admire the moon.
How awkward!
Suddenly, a drumming sound came from Bao Linjiang’s stomach. He covered his stomach. “I’m so hungry.”
Yuan Hongjun touched his flat stomach. “I’m hungry too.”
He got up and went to find the kitchen.
As a little Divine Doctor who had traveled extensively, not only did he know all kinds of herbs, but he also knew how to cook.
Bao Linjiang followed him. “Where are you going?”
Yuan Hongjun replied, “To the kitchen to cook.”
Bao Linjiang’s eyes widened in surprise. “You can cook?”
Yuan Hongjun turned around and narrowed his eyes. His tone was unfriendly. “Little abalone, what do you mean?”
Bao Linjiang stopped teasing Yuan Hongjun, in case Yuan Hongjun refused to let him eat later. “I want to praise you for your versatility.”
Yuan Hongjun muttered, “1 think you are just flattering me because you want to have a bite.”
Seeing that Yuan Hongjun was so resentful, Bao Linjiang was secretly glad that he didn’t go too far just now. “Hongjun, I’ll help you start the fire.”
Yuan Hongjun snorted. “That’s more like it.”
An hour later, four bowls of light soup noodles were ready. Bao Linjiang picked one up and smelled it. “It smells so good.”
Yuan Hongjun was smug. “Of course. Now, take it to Brother Tang.”
“Ok.”
The two of them carried two bowls of noodles each and walked towards Chu Qingzhi’s room.
On the other side, Tang Jinghong was about to go out to buy food for Chu Qingzhi. When he saw the two of them, he was surprised. “You cooked?” Yuan Hongjun walked past Tang Jinghong and into the room. “I made one bowl of noodles for each of us. Brother Tang, you haven’t tried my cooking, right?” Now that Qin Xi was out of danger, the atmosphere was quite relaxed.
Tang Jinghong turned around and walked back. “I’ve indeed never tried it.”
Chu Qingzhi walked out of the room. There was a table outside, and the table was filled with the sumptuous food that Wen Shaoyuan had packed, but they had already turned cold. Tang Jinghong felt that it was no longer fresh and wanted to prepare something fresh for Qingzhi.
Chu Qingzhi sat on the stool and looked at the two of them. “It’s quite troublesome to cook. Why don’t you just heat up the food?”
The two young men’s faces immediately reddened. They lowered their heads and did not speak.
When Tang Jinghong saw how shy the two of them were, he couldn’t help but blush as well. “Qingzhi, they might have forgotten that there was food. Let’s eat first.”
The two young men nodded like chickens pecking at rice. “Yes, yes, yes.”
Chu Qingzhi smiled. Men in this era were like women. They were very easily shy. Yuan Hongjun was like a little white rabbit, and Bao Linjiang was like a little black rabbit. They were all so cute!
The four of them quietly ate the noodles.
As soon as they put down the chopsticks, they heard the footsteps of many people outside. Then, the light of torches appeared. A tall and burly middle-aged man rushed over aggressively.
Little Abalone screamed and quickly ran to hide.
Everyone was speechless.
The burly man shouted as he walked into the courtyard. His voice was like a lion’s roar, and it felt like it could tear the roof off. “Bao Linjiang, get out here!” Tang Jinghong walked out and bowed. “Commander Bao.”
When Bao Rongming saw Tang Jinghong here, his attitude took a drastic turn.
He smiled and returned the greeting. “Jinghong.”
He was the commander of the Imperial Guards and was known for his loud voice. In fact, although he looked rough and strong, he was actually a very gentle man. Moreover, he was a devoted man and only loved his wife.
“Lord Bao, why are you mobilizing so many people?” Tang Jinghong asked despite knowing the answer.
At the mention of this, Bao Rongming was very angry. “That brat stole his grandfather’s life-saving medicine. I came to catch him. Someone said that they saw him running in this direction. Did General Tang see him?” “Commander Bao, I want to explain something about this medicine,” Tang Jinghong said gratefully. “Linjiang went back to get the medicine to save my fiancee. Commander Bao, please don’t blame him. He also had no choice.” Yuan Hongjun spoke up for Bao Linjiang for the first time. “Commander Bao, don’t be anxious. Now that my future master is awake, she can concoct any medicine!”
Bao Linjiang, who was hiding, looked at Yuan Hongjun. This guy actually spoke up for him. It was rarer than a flying pig.
Bao Rongming ignored Yuan Hongjun’s words. He looked at Tang Jinghong and suddenly patted his shoulder in surprise.. “Jinghong, you have a fiancee?”
