After saying that, he patted the wheelchair proudly. “This is a specially prepared electric wheelchair for you by Master Si! If you ever feel bored in the ward, you can sit in this and enjoy the sunshine in the hospital garden!”
Mei Shu couldn’t help but smile. “Then I’ll be like those grandparents, just sitting in the garden soaking up the sun every day, enjoying my retirement?” “Don’t underestimate today’s working people!” Jiang He grinned. “Once your leg injury heals a bit more, I can push you to the garden for a stroll. By then, you’ll know how hardworking young people are nowadays!”
“Sure.”
Mei Shu agreed and stopped resisting, sitting securely in the wheelchair for him to push.
Jiang He went back to the back seat, picked up the thermos and lunch box placed there, and stuffed them all into her hands. “You hold these first. I need to figure out how to get you up the steps.”
“Alright.” After Mei Shu finished speaking, she couldn’t help herself. She carefully opened the lid of the thermos, and in an instant, a rich aroma wafted out from inside the box.
The glutton in her stomach was immediately aroused. She couldn’t help but swallow a few times, then quickly closed the lid again.
Jiang He couldn’t help but laugh when he saw how her eyes lit up. “I told you, Master Si’s soup is very fragrant! I wasn’t exaggerating at all!”
Mei Shu couldn’t control her urge and urged, “Hurry up, I’m hungry. The soup will cool down soon.”
Jiang He chuckled but didn’t say anything, pushing her up the slope. They took the elevator to the inpatient department and headed straight to the ward.
As soon as Mei Shu got to the table, she couldn’t wait to open the thermos. Inside was piping hot black chicken soup, making her eyes widen with anticipation.
Jiang He instinctively swallowed saliva and tactfully said, “You go ahead and eat. I’ll go talk to the doctor about the examination for you later.”
“No need to go. Haven’t you eaten yet?” Mei Shu pointed to the drawer under the bedside table and said, “There are disposable chopsticks in there. Just take them out and use them. Sit down and eat together.”
Jiang He was taken aback and repeatedly waved his hand in refusal. “I can’t! This soup was specially made by Master Si for you. How can I drink it?”
Mei Shu waved to him enthusiastically. “Anyway, there’s so much he made that I can’t finish it all. This is Master Si’s intention and can’t be wasted.”
But Jiang He still felt uneasy. “Or forget it. I’ll just go to the hospital cafeteria and grab something.”
Mei Shu didn’t listen to him. Instead, she maneuvered the wheelchair to the bedside table herself and reached out to take out the chopsticks, handing them to him. “Stop being so hesitant. Use the clean bowl inside to ladle some chicken soup for yourself. We’ll each have a bowl.”
Jiang He really wanted to eat. His willpower was very weak. He looked at the chopsticks in his hand and nodded with a solemn expression. “Then you mustn’t tell Master Si. Otherwise, I’m done for!”
“Don’t worry, he won’t say anything. Ah Si isn’t that petty,” Mei Shu assured him as she pushed the chicken soup towards him.
Jiang He happily poured himself a small bowl of soup. He felt a bit guilty about drinking the black chicken soup that Master Si had stewed for two hours, but just having the soup made him content!
The soup was rich and delicious, and with one sip, he felt refreshed.
Jiang He’s eyes lit up like two light bulbs, shining brightly. “I didn’t expect Master Si’s cooking to be so good! Miss Mei, you’re really lucky! But you’re such a good person, you deserve it all!”
Mei Shu smiled awkwardly. “Actually, Master Si does more than I do.”
“That’s not true.” Jiang He shook his head in disagreement. “In a relationship, there’s no need to calculate who gives more. As long as both people are happy together, that’s enough. But seriously, I’ve seen so many leaders and CEOs, and you’re the first one willing to eat with people like us.”
“People like you?” Mei Shu felt a bit helpless.
Jiang He drooped his head dejectedly. “Just errand boys! Don’t be fooled by how glamorous Jiang Hai and I look outside. Many people are afraid of us and respect us, but behind our backs, they say nasty things, calling us Master Si’s lackeys, dogs… Basically, not human!”
Mei Shu was amused by him and almost choked on the chicken soup in her mouth. She quickly swallowed it down and said, “They’re just afraid of Alt Si. Since they dare not speak ill of him behind his back, they have to vent their anger on you two. Don’t take it to heart.”
Jiang He took a big gulp of chicken soup, feeling a little better. “I know, I don’t want to take it to heart, but I can’t help feeling resentful! Of course, I’m loyal to Master Si, but sometimes I still dream. If I could have a small company of my own, without being controlled by anyone, I’d be the boss. I’d let my subordinates do the work for me every day, that would be great!”
Mei Shu nodded in agreement. “Since you have a goal, you can work towards it.”
“I think I’d better just forget about it.” Jiang He shrugged his shoulders and said with a despondent expression, “I can’t even complete the tasks assigned by Master Si sometimes, let alone being a boss. It’s easier to just work for others!”
