Mu Tang patted his upper arm. He could feel the hard muscles underneath through the thin clothes. Looking at Qin Zhen's rosy complexion, she knew that he was indeed much better, so she smiled with relief.
Qin Zhen put down his hand and said casually:
"I should be able to return to the team in two days. I will be exhausted after lying down for so long."
Lu Yan said disapprovingly:
"It took 100 days to break your muscles and bones. You have broken ribs, and they haven't been for more than a month now. You just want to get up and go back to the army. Don't ruin yourself like this."
Qin Zhen said nonchalantly:
"It's okay. I have a good foundation and I resist. Look at me, isn't this quite normal?"
Lu Yan didn't believe what he said at all:
"You just look normal on the surface. You can't handle those high-intensity trainings. Let alone training, you can't even run two steps."
Qin Zhen knew he was telling the truth, but he still said awkwardly:
"Then I don't want to stay here anymore, it's too boring."
Lu Yan felt a headache after hearing this. Why did this person come back to life more and more? He said without even thinking:
"Don't think about it. Just keep recovering. Do you still want to die?"
Mu Tang noticed that the atmosphere between the two was a little tense, and quietly reached out and pulled Lu Yan's sleeve.
Qin Zhen's eyes widened and he was about to say something when the door suddenly opened again.
Yan Mingxu walked in carrying a lunch box. He was stunned for a moment when he saw the people in the room, and then said with a gentle smile:
"Commander Lu and Mu Tang come to see the captain?"
Lu Yan nodded and suddenly remembered that he was trying to get Yan Mingxu away from Qin Zhen two days ago.
Qin Zhen talks so much, but Yan Mingxu doesn't look like he's been tortured at all, he looks normal.
Qin Zhen had been looking forward to it. When he saw Yan Mingxu, he immediately put down the table next to the bed and sat down obediently like a child, waiting for Yan Mingxu to put the meal in front of him.
Yan Mingxu put the rice on the table and opened the lunch box. There were two potatoes and half a steamed bun lying inside.
"Hiss—why is this food getting worse and worse?"
Qin Zhen muttered dissatisfiedly:
"I am a wounded person, this is called abuse!!"
Although he said this in his mouth, he grabbed the potato with his hand without any disgust, took a bite, and chewed twice dryly.
After eating two more bites, he put down the potato and opened his mouth. Before he could make a sound, Yan Mingxu had already put a glass of water in his hand.
Qin Zhen nodded with satisfaction and glanced at him appreciatively.
Lu Yan looked at the potato buns in the lunch box, his brows never loosening.
The food for the wounded should be relatively good, but as a result, the base can only provide these. The extent of the food shortage can be imagined.
Qin Zhen always maintained a military style when eating. He stuffed everything into his mouth three times and drank every drop of water. The whole process took less than five minutes.
Just as he was about to pack up the lunch box, Yan Mingxu took out a boiled white egg from his pocket and placed it in front of Qin Zhen.
Qin Zhen chuckled and patted him:
"Okay, boy, you can get me an egg."
Yan Mingxu whispered:
"Captain, please keep your voice down. I asked Squad Leader Lin from the cooking class to leave this for you. No one else has it."
Qin Zhen said an exaggerated "Oh", and when he was about to knock the egg on the table, he took back his hand, raised it in front of him and carefully patted the non-existent "ash" on the eggshell with his hand:
"I got it through the back door. It's not easy."
Successfully made Yan Mingxu blush.
Qin Zhen seemed not to notice it, he chuckled:
"Our Xiao Yan is becoming more and more promising. Yes, he is worthy of being brought out by me, Qin Zhen!"
"Qin Zhen." Lu Yan called out in warning. Yan Mingxu was thin-skinned and their jokes were not suitable for him.
Just now, I was wondering why Yan Mingxu looked so normal, but now it seems that he is the most seriously injured, and he is probably numb from all the ordinary nonsense.
Yan Mingxu silently took the egg from Qin Zhen's hand.
Qin Zhen was completely dumbfounded:
"No, why are you taking it back? Why don't I stop saying it?!"
Lu Yan chuckled, with the word "deserve it" written all over his face:
"I'll tell you to be a bitch."
Mu Tang looked at Qin Zhen with his big eyes, and then at Yan Mingxu who had his head lowered next to him, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Yan Mingxu knocked the eggshell on the corner of the table, then rolled it on the table before taking it into his hand.
The fingertips with neatly manicured nails peeled off a corner of the eggshell, and then slowly peeled off the entire eggshell.
Not long after, a beautiful and white egg was peeled and placed in Qin Zhen's palm again by Yan Mingxu.
Qin Zhen smiled and glanced at Lu Yan proudly:
"Did you see that our Xiao Yan is not as heartless as you?"
Lu Yan said angrily:
"Eat quickly, be careful not to choke."
Mu Tang suddenly asked Yan Mingxu curiously:
"Why didn't you take out the eggs in the first place?"
Yan Mingxu walked next to her and whispered:
"Because if I take out the eggs at the beginning, the captain will feel that the food is not good. But if I hide it first and then take it out after he has finished the meal, he will be surprised."
Mu Tang nodded in understanding.
Lu Yan smiled. Yan Mingxu really knew Qin Zhen very well and had a thorough understanding of all his psychological activities.
Qin Zhen stuffed the last egg into his mouth before asking Yan Mingxu:
"How's it going? Have you met your mother and brother?"
As soon as he mentioned this, Yan Mingxu's face darkened and he nodded silently.
Lu Yan was a little surprised and said:
"Are your mother and brother at the base?"
Qin Zhen knew Yan Mingxu's situation well and said:
"Xiao Yan's family is nearby, so his family members came here right after the base was built."
Lu Yan nodded and found that Yan Mingxu's expression was wrong, so he asked:
"What's wrong? Are there any difficulties at home?"
Yan Mingxu shook his head and smiled:
"No, they are very good, just..."
He hesitated for a moment and finally said:
"My brother said he wanted to join the army."
As soon as these words came out, the room fell silent. Now everyone knows what joining the army means. Looking at Yan Mingxu's behavior, he definitely doesn't want his brother to join the army.
Yan Mingxu knew that everyone had noticed his thoughts, so he did not escape. He just said guiltily:
"I know I shouldn't have such thoughts, but he is still young and has just grown up. I don't want him to have to face those outside at such a young age..."
Qin Zhen took the lead and said without thinking:
"Hey, this is human nature. Is there anything that shouldn't be done? If you are really worried, why don't you go and say hello to them and don't approve your brother's application for military enlistment? He won't be able to do anything by then, you brothers? As long as one of them is in the army, there is no need to pay for both."
This method is very tempting, and it is also the best method.
But Yan Mingxu hesitated for a long time and still refused:
"Forget it, I shouldn't influence his life, I should respect him."
