Xin Gan paused for a moment and said, "It's okay. It's just a minor cold. It's no big deal."
"It's good that you're fine. The temperature on the plateau is unpredictable. You might not be used to it when you first came here. I was the same when I first arrived, getting sick frequently. Fortunately, Cheng Jiu took good care of me." "
Xin Gan's eyes dimmed a little, and she pursed her lips without saying a word.
Cheng Jiu saw Jiang Tang talking to Xin Gan from a distance. He walked over and his gaze fell on Xin Gan, saying, "It's getting late. Go back to sleep early."
Xin Gan belatedly realized that he was talking to her and nodded, responding indifferently, "OK, then I'll go back to my room first."
She was thin and wrapped in a dark red shawl. Cheng Jiu glanced at her receding figure and fell into deep thought for a few seconds. Jiang Tang beside him said, "Cheng Jiu, why do I feel that you two are so distant?"
Cheng Jiu: "Huh?"
I don't think you two seem like relatives.
Who said she was my relative?
"Ah?"
Cheng Jiu took out a cigarette box from his pocket, bit it gently with his teeth, but didn't light it. He looked up at the night and said, "We're not relatives."
Since they are not relatives, then what are they?
Jiang Tang wanted to ask further, but if he did, it would be crossing the line.
Some time ago, his family called him and said that a sister from a relative's family was going on a graduation trip. However, she didn't want to go anywhere and just wanted to go to Beiyu, a city located in the southwestern border of the country, which has many unique natural landscapes and wildlife reserves.
At that time, he really thought it was a graduation trip of some relative's sister. But when the person was about to arrive by plane, a call came from home, telling him that it wasn't a relative but his fiancee whom he had never met since childhood.
...
Not long after Xin Gan returned to her room, she started having diarrhea. After a few times, her face turned as pale as paper. It was indeed the same old problem: she was lactose intolerant. Even a little dairy product would cause diarrhea, making her feel weak all over and even collapse after the diarrhea.
Shen Ruxin called again, asking about her well-being and inquiring about her relationship with Cheng Jiu.
Are you still used to it?
"Not bad." Xin Gan lay on the bed, looking very weak.
What's wrong? Haven't you seen Cheng Jiu?
"Seen."
How about that?
Xin Gan turned around. She was afraid to confess her intention to dissolve the marriage to her cousin. This marriage had been decided by both families long ago. Even before she was born, the elders of both families had agreed that if she proposed to dissolve the marriage, it would surely be difficult for both families to handle.
But she didn't want a marriage without feelings. Cheng Jiu didn't like her, and she could sense it.
She said, "Cousin, Cheng Jiu doesn't seem to have that interest in me."
You two have only been together for a short time. Don't worry. There's still plenty of time ahead. Shen Ruxin added, "But it's really hard to justify that he doesn't pick you up. Xin Xin, this marriage was originally your grandfather's last wish before his death. If you really don't like him, your cousin will naturally support you and stand by your side. Don't feel pressured. Just consider it as a trip to relax and get familiar with the domestic environment."
My cousin knew she couldn't push her too hard. This marriage was already absurd. Had it not been for the last wish of Old Man Xin, Xin Gan's parents wouldn't have insisted on the marriage between the two families.
"Auntie!" From the other end of the phone came the voice of my cousin's five-year-old daughter, Coco, soft and cute, calling out, "Auntie, when will you come back to see Coco? Coco misses you so much!"
Hearing Coco's voice, Xin Gan showed a long-lost relaxed smile and said, "Coco, Auntie will come back to see you in a while. Just listen to your mother obediently."
"Auntie, Mom said you went to look for Uncle. Is Uncle handsome?" Will Uncle buy a doll for Coco?
How could she put it? Before she could even make a move, Coco had already called her uncle.
Xin Gan chuckled. It was still Shen Ruxin who helped her comfort Coco. Otherwise, Coco would have kept asking questions non-stop. Shen Ruxin finally said, "Still, don't put too much pressure on yourself. Emotional matters can be cultivated, but if you think Cheng Jiu is not suitable, then this marriage should be cancelled."
Fortunately, Shen Ruxin was on her side.
...
Xin Gan had been having diarrhea all night. She couldn't bear it anymore. The next morning, she put on her coat and went out. According to her memory, she found the small clinic where Cheng Jiu had taken her to see a doctor and asked the doctor to prescribe montmorillonite powder. The doctor remembered her and asked if she still had a fever. She said no. The doctor was worried and took her temperature.
Xin Gan was forced to stay and take her temperature again. The doctor only allowed her to leave after confirming repeatedly that she had no fever.
Xin Gan returned to the inn, took some medicine and then took a nap. When she woke up, her stomach was empty. She seemed to have suffered from a serious illness, sweating all over. She quickly took a bath, changed her clothes and then went downstairs to look for something to eat.
She had just walked out when she heard someone say at the corner of the stairs,
"Xiao Shi, did Jiang Tang go out with Brother Jiu last night?"
It seems so.
To be honest, I have the feeling that she is very concerned about Brother Jiu. Do you still remember? The last time an accident occurred during a mission, it was she who blocked that bullet for Brother Jiu.
