Chapter 1230 This little girl looks blessed.
Su Xing found He Xu's petty behavior somewhat amusing.
She felt that the man asked for her contact information so he could transfer the money to her because she had paid the 120 yuan fee in advance.
However, He Xu's possessiveness is quite endearing, so she'll just let him be and indulge him.
He Xu asked the nurse for a pen and paper, wrote a note, and handed it to the man.
"This is my phone."
"Oh well……"
The man glanced at Su Xing, then at He Xu, and thought to himself: What a petty person...
Su Xing said, "You get some rest, we'll be going now."
"Oh, okay, bye."
"Bye-Bye."
"Goodbye."
Su Xing and He Xu left the ward and headed for the elevator.
As soon as he entered the elevator, Su Xing heard the system's electronic voice in his mind.
[Congratulations, host, on completing the hidden mission: Successfully rescued a hypothermic tourist from out of town at Shoushan, saving their life and averting the risk of freezing to death. Reward: 30 days of health, 10% increase in reaction speed, and +10 to luck.]
Having saved a life, Su Xing is in a good mood.
Although that tourist from out of town was a bit reckless, he shouldn't have paid with his life.
He Xu keenly noticed the change in his girlfriend's emotions.
He reached out, took her hand, and put it in his pocket.
Su Xing turned to look at him, "You took off your down jacket on the mountain, you must have been freezing, right? How are you feeling now? How about we buy some medicine to prevent catching a cold?"
"I'm fine, I've recovered." He Xu thought for a moment and then said, "I can drink a few packets of Banlangen granules as a precaution."
He recalled the time his girlfriend forced him to go to the hospital when he had a cold, and decided he shouldn't be careless.
"Okay, let's go to the pharmacy next door to buy it."
There's no need to make an appointment at the hospital to get a prescription for this preventative medicine, which is available at any pharmacy.
After going downstairs and leaving the hospital, I went to the pharmacy next door and bought some Banlangen (Isatis root).
Afterwards, they found a nearby restaurant to eat at.
They went to a small fast food shop that sold wontons, dumplings, noodles, and other similar items.
I ordered two bowls of hot wonton soup and a few side dishes.
When the wontons arrived, they drank a few sips of the soup, scooped up the plump shrimp wontons, and ate them. Soon, they felt warm all over.
After a few more bites of the side dishes, I felt my appetite was whetted.
It was already past 2 p.m., and the two of them had been quite hungry, but the hot wontons and refreshing side dishes immediately whetted their appetites again.
After finishing a bowl of shrimp wontons, Su Xing raised his hand and called to the proprietress, "Proprietress, make two more bowls of wontons."
The proprietress asked, "Would you like it to go?"
“…No.” Su Xing was slightly embarrassed. “I’ll eat here.”
The proprietress: "Huh?!"
He Xu said, "We just got back from hiking and are a bit hungry, so we can eat some more."
"Okay! Just a moment, I'll make it for you right away!"
The proprietress called to the owner and chef in the kitchen, "Old Xu, make two more bowls of shrimp wontons!"
"Okay!"
The two bowls of wontons that followed, of course, ended up in Su Xing's stomach...
The proprietress smiled and said, "This little girl looks like she's destined for good fortune!"
Su Xing smiled and said, "You're a lucky person to have such a successful business!"
The proprietress laughed heartily, slapping her thigh, "What a sweet talker!"
He Xu looked at his girlfriend, smiling with a mixture of doting affection and pride.
After the two had eaten and drunk their fill, they paid the bill and left the restaurant.
They then went to Xingcheng Ancient City for a stroll.
In some northern regions, it gets dark as early as 4 p.m. during winter.
They bought tickets to go up the city wall, walked around slowly, and then found the best spot to watch the sunset.
The setting sun cast its last rays obliquely onto Yongning Gate, turning the vermilion paint into a honey color. The upturned eaves of the gate tower cast long, thin shadows that slowly moved toward the end of the bluestone path.
Pedestrians wearing down jackets and scarves wrapped tightly around themselves hurried home, their footsteps echoing softly in the empty streets and alleys, softened by the setting sun hanging from the eaves.
A stall selling roasted chestnuts had a steaming iron pot on it, and the sweet aroma mingled with the cold wind, wafting far and wide, just in time to meet the gradually darkening orange-red sky.
The last rays of the setting sun lingered on the city wall, illuminating the mottled patterns on the bricks, and even the old dog curled up at the base of the wall was given a gentle golden edge.
As dusk settled over the barbican, the light on the city walls gradually faded to pinkish-purple, and the lanterns beneath the city towers lit up one by one with a warm yellow glow.
The two went down from the city wall and bought some sweet and hot roasted chestnuts.
They then walked to the parking lot and drove home.
As soon as she entered the house, Grandma Zhou said, "You're back so late, it's already dark!"
Su Xing chuckled and said, "It's just that it gets dark early here..."
"Hurry up and warm up. We'll have dinner when your grandpa and your uncle come back."
He Xu asked, "Grandma, is there anything I can help with?"
Grandma Zhou said, "There's no need for you. Just sit there and watch TV for a while."
Zhou Mingyue leaned closer, sniffing, and asked, "You bought chestnuts?"
Su Xing put the paper bag in her cousin's arms and said, "Yes, you have a really good nose."
"It smells good, it's quite fragrant, I'll try it."
Zhou Mingyue especially loves chestnuts. Her eyes crinkled with laughter as she unceremoniously picked up a chestnut and began to tear open the opening with her teeth to gnaw on the chestnut meat inside.
My aunt is stewing sauerkraut and pork bones.
She called out to Su Xing, "Xiao Xing, do you want some boiled bok choy?"
Su Xing's eyes lit up. "Eat it! I love this the most!"
Her aunt handed her a plate, saying, "I knew you liked this, so I saved it for you."
There was a piece of tender white pickled cabbage heart in the plate, and a spoonful of granulated sugar was scooped next to it.
"Auntie, you're so kind!"
Su Xing broke off a piece of pickled cabbage heart, dipped it in granulated sugar, took a bite, and squinted his eyes in satisfaction.
"That's the taste! I can tell it's from Grandma's pickling as soon as I taste it!"
Grandma Zhou said, "All you ever think about is eating!"
Auntie laughed and said, "The heating in our apartment buildings is too strong, so the pickled cabbage smells bad as soon as it's pickled. Your grandma pickled two vats at the inn, and she specially asked your uncle to pick them up this morning."
Grandma Zhou then said to her daughter-in-law, "Why are you talking so much..."
Su Xing smiled at Grandma Zhou and said, "Grandma, you're so kind~"
Grandma Zhou looked at her granddaughter and said, "Hurry up and eat yours."
Su Xing chuckled.
She asked Zhou Mingyue, "Cousin, do you want some?"
"I won't eat that stuff!" Zhou Mingyue said with a hint of disgust.
Then she looked at her cousin with some curiosity; she felt her cousin had changed so much this time...
Su Xing broke off another piece of pickled cabbage heart, dipped it in sugar, and asked He Xu, "Want to try some?"
He Xu was curious about the taste, "You can try a piece."
Su Xing then stuffed the pickled cabbage hearts dipped in sugar into her boyfriend's mouth.
He Xu chewed a couple of times, and his facial features involuntarily scrunched up...
Su Xing asked expectantly, "How is it?"
"Hiss... It's so sour..."
When he spoke, his speech was somewhat unclear, and his mouth was already full of sour fluid, which was about to spill out.
Su Xing laughed and said, "That's what makes it so satisfying!"
Grandma Zhou said to He Xu, "Little He, you can't eat it and you'll throw up. It's just that Xiao Xing has a strong palate and likes to eat this."
He Xu chewed twice, swallowed, and said, "It's alright, quite flavorful..."
Su Xing said, "Then would you like another one?"
He Xu quickly shook his head, "No need, I'll just try one piece."
The people inside the room laughed when they saw him like that.
