Chapter 656: Whatever You Cook, I Love to Eat

Bai Meimei frowned slightly: "Xiaoya, you still haven't given up?"

Jiang Xiaoya hurriedly waved her hand: "Don't misunderstand. Even if I like him, I can't do anything wrong, can I?"

Bai Meimei's face was full of suspicion: "Then what?"

Jiang Xiaoya glanced around: "I have let go, but I just want to see exactly where I lost, to see how attentively she takes care of Deputy Captain Fu, so I can completely give up."

Bai Meimei felt something was off, but couldn't put her finger on it: "Then what do you want me to do?"

Jiang Xiaoya, seeing she believed her, then said: "I just want to know her movements."

Bai Meimei thought about it, this wasn't a big deal: "You, after all that talk, you still haven't let go."

Jiang Xiaoya, afraid she'd dig deeper, shook Bai Meimei's arm and acted coquettishly: "I need a process. Just help me, will you?"

Bai Meimei, seeing she'd said so much: "Fine, fine, fine. I really can't handle you."

Having gotten Bai Meimei's preparation, she gave her the contact info Qi Shufang had left: "I'll be taking leave these next few days. When the time comes, call this number to find me. If I'm not there, just leave me a message."

Bai Meimei didn't overthink it: "Okay."

Seeing the matter settled, Jiang Xiaoya then left.

When leaving the hospital, she glanced toward the ward once more, then headed straight back to the Signal Company.

Meanwhile, Liu Chuxue, standing by the ward window about to serve Fu Yan Cheng his meal, happened to catch sight of Jiang Xiaoya downstairs looking up at the building.

She just didn't take it to heart.

She placed the prepared dough-drop soup on the stool: "I didn't make the dough drops with braised broth, but with plain water. Try it and see if it suits your taste."

Of course, when serving him the meal, she also discreetly added some spatial pool water—just not too much—only to help his wounds scab over faster and prevent infection.

Fu Yan Cheng smiled at her: "Whatever you cook, I love to eat."

He picked up the spoon, took a mouthful, and couldn't help giving her a thumbs-up: "The flavor is really great, very refreshing."

She placed some sliced vegetable pancakes on the lid of the lunchbox: "Pair it with this."

Fu Yan Cheng's eyes were full of smiles: "Thank you, Xue'er. You've worked hard."

As he said these words, he secretly resolved again in his heart: whenever he had time in the future, he'd go hang around the kitchen crew and learn a few more dishes by any means, so he could cook for Xue'er someday too.

His own bit of cooking skill was truly nothing to show off in front of Xue'er's culinary skills.

Not long after the meal, Physician Zhao came by with his team for rounds. Seeing Fu Yan Cheng's wound already scabbed over, he sighed again: "Your constitution is really excellent—the entire back has scabbed over. At this rate, in just a few days you'll really be able to be discharged."

After chatting for a while, he gave instructions on precautions, then moved on to the bed in the middle.

Liu Chuxue poured Fu Yan Cheng half a cup of water again: "Drink it, consider it a mouth rinse."

Fu Yan Cheng obediently drank it down: "Xue'er, you heard what Physician Zhao just said. Don't worry, I'm really fine. Take the afternoon shuttle back to the factory, so you don't have to get up at the crack of dawn to travel tomorrow."

Liu Chuxue knew he was thinking of her, but she had already promised her future mother-in-law that she'd return to the factory early tomorrow morning. Naturally, she couldn't go back on her word. Besides, she still wanted to let him drink more spatial pool water to speed up his metabolism and minimize scarring as much as possible.

She had already thought it through: she'd go buy some burn ointment later, process it herself, add some spatial pool water, and have him apply it to his back. That was all she could do.
