Uh, Her Royal Highness

Chapter 39 Porridge

Jiang Jiu is a veritable foodie, and he can't be hungry at all.The porridge brought by Chu Shao was very fragrant, and the smell made people move their index fingers. Jiang Jiu stared at it with salivating eyes the moment she opened the lid of the thermos.

But it's a pity, when Chu Shao poured out the porridge, then carefully helped her half-sit up, and then intimately fed the porridge to her mouth with his own hands, Jiang Jiu only took a sip before his face changed.

Chu Shao naturally paid attention to Jiang Jiu all the time. Seeing that her expression was not right at this moment, he also stopped feeding, and asked with a puzzled face: "Xiao Jiu, what's wrong?"

Jiang Jiu pursed her lips and looked at Chu Shao, then turned her head to look at the thermos bucket on the side, obviously hesitated for a while, and finally asked, "Princess, where did this porridge come from?"

Chu Shao didn't expect Jiang Jiu to ask this question as soon as he opened his mouth.Seeing that it might not be possible to perfunctory, and she was unwilling to lie to deceive the other party, it was a rare moment when she didn't know how to speak.

The atmosphere of silence lasted for a while, Jiang Jiu sighed suddenly, already understood what was going on in his heart, so he didn't want to delve into anything further.She pulled the corner of her mouth into a smile: "Forget it, it's okay. You haven't eaten before, right? Let's drink this porridge together?"

Although everyone knew something at this moment, Chu Shao was unconsciously relieved to see that Jiang Jiu didn't get to the bottom of it.She suddenly felt that these trivial matters in the parents' family might be more troublesome than the major issues of her family, country, and world that she faced when she was a regency.

Afterwards, Jiang Jiu didn't let Chu Shao feed him anymore, and the two of them ate up the porridge full of porridge.

Immediately, fatigue and tiredness struck again, and Jiang Jiu quickly lay down and fell asleep again.In a daze, the last thought before going to sleep was: She still has classes at school today, but unfortunately she is still lying in the hospital and hasn't asked the school for a leave of absence, the class may be delayed.

Seeing Jiang Jiu fell asleep, Chu Shao tucked the quilt for her, packed her things and went out again.

After the closed door of the ward was pushed open, Chu Shao immediately saw Xiao Wanjue standing by the door leaning against the wall with his arms around his chest.Her expression was a bit complicated, and she always felt that the relationship between the mother and daughter was too awkward, and there must be some hidden secret or misunderstanding in it.But now it's not the time for her to talk about these things, so she just nodded at Xiao Wanjue and said: "Auntie, Xiao Jiu just woke up, and now she fell asleep again, do you want to go in and see her?"

Hearing this, Xiao Wanjue glanced at the hospital bed behind Chu Shao, and the expression in his eyes was complicated and difficult to understand.But in the end she shook her head and said, "Forget it, I won't look at her anymore. I have something to ask you, so go out and talk with me."

Such an answer was not beyond Chu Shao's expectation. From the fact that Xiao Wanjue would rather care silently than show up in front of Jiang Jiu at this moment, she is more uncomfortable with the relationship between the mother and daughter than Jiang Jiu.So Chu Shao didn't force it, just nodded calmly, then turned around and closed the door again, and then left with Xiao Wanjue.

************************************************** ***************

When Jiang Jiu woke up again, it was already dusk outside the window of the ward.

She turned her head and looked around, and found that Chu Shao was sitting beside her bed, holding a thick book in her hand, reading it with great interest.The afterglow of the setting sun shone on her beautiful side face, adding softness and vividness to her.For a moment, Jiang Jiu became a little crazy.

There are quite a few times when Mr. Xiao Jiang is infatuated with Her Highness the Princess, and Chu Shao is already used to it.But one's appearance can make a lover like or even be obsessed with it, no matter how you look at it, it is also a pleasant thing.

Chu Shao, who was reading a book, was keenly aware of Jiang Jiu's obsessed gaze at the first moment, so she raised her head slightly, and said with a soft smile, "Xiao Jiu, are you awake?"

Dazed by that smile again, Jiang Jiu nodded subconsciously, only to realize that such a response was unnecessary.She was embarrassed for a second, and then she came back to her senses and asked, "Princess, what time is it now?"

When Chu Shao heard the question, he didn't take out his mobile phone to check the time. Instead, he habitually looked up at the sky outside the window, and then replied, "It's almost six o'clock. After a while, it will be dark."

"Oh." Jiang Jiu responded, and then asked tangledly: "Princess, have you seen my mobile phone? I didn't go to school all day, and the class was delayed. Anyway, I should call and ask for leave. .”

Hearing this, Chu Shao really wanted to say that Xiao Wanjue had asked for leave for her, but due to the awkward relationship between the mother and daughter, she still didn't say so.In the end, he just silently picked up Jiang Jiu's cell phone that he had picked up at the entrance of the alley, and handed it to her.

"..." The corners of Jiang Jiu's mouth twitched, and then he looked at the phone with a face full of tears.The second thing to worry about is her phone book. She has never backed it up anywhere else!Now that the mobile phone has been smashed like this, don't even think about the phone book, how can she still contact people in the future? !

After struggling for a while, Jiang Jiu said again: "Princess, please lend me your mobile phone." The mobile phone is broken, and you still have to ask for leave. Fortunately, she still remembers the phone number of the office landline... right? ?

Chu Shao nodded, handed over the phone obediently, and then saw Jiang Jiu dialing the phone with a worried face.Then at the moment when the phone was connected, she saw Jiang Jiu's obviously relieved expression - she was glad that she did not make a mistake.

It was the first time for Jiang Jiu to hear Mr. Zhang's voice coming from the mobile phone so pleasant.She breathed a sigh of relief, and asked, "Mr. Zhang? Is Team Leader Ding there?"

Unexpectedly, Teacher Xiao Zhang on the other end of the phone was extremely excited when she heard her voice: "Mr. Xiao Jiang, how are you? Are you in good health? Team Leader Ding told you not to rush back to class, take care of yourself." Rehabilitation..."

Teacher Xiao Zhang said a lot, but Jiang Jiu was a little confused. Why does it seem that everyone in the school knows that she was injured and hospitalized?So he hesitated for a while, and interrupted Teacher Xiao Zhang's endless babble of concern, and said in confusion: "Mr. Zhang, wait, the school already knows that I was injured and hospitalized? But I haven't called to ask for leave yet."

"Oh, it was your mother who called Team Leader Ding this morning and said that Team Leader Ding has already approved leave. You said that you will be robbed in the self-study next night, and even if you are robbed, you will be beaten to the hospital , It’s so messy around here. When the news got out, the school has already started to think of ways to improve safety measures, otherwise the evening self-study at the end of the semester may not be able to open.” Teacher Xiao Zhang gave the correct answer, and then He probably heard that Jiang Jiu was fine, so he started talking again.

Jiang Jiu didn't want to listen to his rambling anymore, since she had already asked for leave, she didn't worry about it anymore.After perfunctory Mr. Zhang with a few words, he hung up the phone. When he looked up, Chu Shao had already brought out another thermos, which should be dinner for her.

Dinner is still porridge, which is light and refreshing, and tastes the same as in the morning.As a seasoned foodie, Jiang Jiu naturally knew that the two pots of porridge were made by one person.

She ate the porridge silently, but her heart was inexplicably blocked.Because of these two pots of porridge, and because of that phone call, her mood was so complicated that she couldn't figure it out.

On the phone, Teacher Xiao Zhang made it very clear that it was her mother——Xiao Wanjue who called the school to help her ask for leave.And the taste of these two pots of porridge is also very familiar to her, and she has never forgotten it even after many years - it was something she tasted when she was a child, one of the very few porridges made by Xiao Wanjue.

The combination of these two incidents clearly revealed a fact: Xiao Wanjue knew that she was injured and hospitalized, and she personally helped her ask for leave to cook porridge, and she cared about her.

Jiang Jiu was a little distracted, not knowing how to react for a while is normal.

Overjoyed?It seems that she can't do it anymore. After so many years of neglect, she has gotten used to Xiao Wanjue's indifference and the days without her mother's concern.That annoyed resistance?It doesn't seem to work, she doesn't have the slightest emotion for no reason, and she doesn't need to pretend.Ever since, the reaction left to Jiang Jiu can only be at a loss.

After eating the porridge without taste, Jiang Jiu covered his head and fell asleep.Chu Shao didn't say anything when she saw her, she packed up the thermos, bowls and spoons, and went out with her things.

The door of the ward opened, Xiao Wanjue was still standing outside.She poked her head over the hospital bed behind Chu Shao, and found that Jiang Jiu was still lying down and sleeping. The pretty Liu Mei couldn't help but frowned slightly, and then asked in a still cold voice, "She ate the porridge? Why did she keep watching?" They are all in a coma, could there be some injury that the doctor didn't check out?"

Chu Shao blinked, then shook her head suddenly and said, "I don't know either. She ate the porridge in the morning and just now, and her appetite is not bad, but she just looks not in good spirits. I'm sleepy, I've been asleep all day."

When Xiao Wanjue heard this, she was a little worried.After standing at the door of the ward and hesitating for a while, as expected by Chu Shao, she walked into the ward without saying a word, intending to go and see for herself.

At this time, Jiang Jiu was not actually asleep. She had been in a coma for a day, and she was in good spirits at this moment.It's just that I have a complicated mood, so I chose to close my eyes and go to sleep like an escape.So of course, she listened to the conversation between Xiao Wanjue and Chu Shao.

Just when he heard Xiao Wanjue's voice by the door, Jiang Jiu, who was lying quietly on the bed, felt his heart skip a beat.She obviously didn't think that the person who made her so entangled was waiting outside the door of the ward at this moment, just to ask if she had eaten her porridge and if she was in good health.

It is undeniable that at that moment, Jiang Jiu was also a little moved.She never thought that she actually had a place in the heart of that seemingly indifferent person—she would care about herself in a place she couldn't see, and she would silently guard her ward when she was sick and injured outside.

Then, the sound of high heels hitting the ground was heard slightly, and the visitor obviously walked to her bedside with a light footstep.

Jiang Jiu closed her eyes, suddenly she didn't know how to face the person beside the bed.
