Play coquettish with Joe

Chapter 8997 He doesn’t like to meddle in other people’s business (3)

Xiao Mingzhang didn't say anything, and gently turned the pages with his slender fingers.

For a moment, the ward was extremely quiet.

When he didn't speak, Xiao seemed not to disturb him and looked at the furnishings in the ward with his peripheral vision.

The air smelled of disinfectant.

The silence made her a little uncomfortable, so she simply opened her tied pocket and peeled a few warm chestnuts.

As soon as the bag was opened, the room was filled with fragrance, dispelling the unpleasant smell of disinfectant.

Xiao Xixi peeled the brown chestnuts with her fair and beautiful fingers. The warm open chestnuts peeled off their shells under her hands and were very fragrant.

At some point, Xiao Mingzhang looked away from the document and stared at her hands.

This picture and this smell suddenly seemed to overlap with the deepest memory in his mind, stimulating his nerves in an instant.

Xiao Mingzhang frowned and had a headache.

During this period of time, he received treatment abroad and the effect was very good. He never had any headaches again.

But at this moment, the discomfort was very strong.

Xiao Mingzhang looked away and did not look at her again.

Xiao Sisi put the peeled golden chestnuts in a small bowl: "Mr. Xiao, I peeled some chestnuts and put them here first. Remember to try them. The chestnuts from this store are quite delicious. I buy them often. No. I know if Mr. Xiao has eaten it before, but no matter how delicious it is, it is not as delicious as the wild chestnuts in the mountains. When I was very young, my father often went to the mountains to hunt wild chestnuts for me. He would cook the chestnuts with a very special medicinal material. The taste is unique.”

When he said this, Xiao Xisi's eyes were shining brightly.

Then, the light in her eyes disappeared again: "Then he left, and I have never eaten chestnuts with that taste again, and never will in this life."

She realized that she had talked a little too much and quickly stopped talking.

Xiao Mingzhang was still reading her report and occasionally asked her a few questions.

He is very demanding about his work and often asks her for some tricky professional knowledge.

Xiao Xisi doesn't know much about the professional knowledge, and she has never heard of some terms!

"Mr. Xiao, your academic performance must have been very good before. You know a lot."

"Maybe." Xiao Mingzhang said lightly.

He has read the report card given to him by the housekeeper. From childhood to adulthood, his grades in studying abroad have been very good, among the best, and he has won many awards.

"Mr. Xiao, why was Manager Liu transferred from the R&D department?"

"Poor conduct."

"Oh." Xiao seemed to smile, "Maybe Mr. Xiao cares more about this. I heard that most of the high-level people have bad conduct."

"I'm also a senior."

"Of course not including Mr. Xiao."

"Why do you think I'm not included?"

"..." Xiao seemed to be surrounded by him, "Feeling?"

Xiao Mingzhang glanced at her and said nothing.

He asked a lot of analyzes and questions based on her experimental report. After discussing it for almost half an hour, Xiao Xisi left the hospital.

The autumn wind blew, and Xiao Mingzhang opened a window.

Outside the window is a very tall ginkgo tree. The leaves of the ginkgo are starting to turn yellow this season, and the ground is covered with a thick layer of residual leaves.

Xiao Mingzhang is not very talkative most of the time. He is used to standing by the window and looking out at the deep and distant sky.

Xuanzhou is almost surrounded by mountains, and the entire city is surrounded by continuous mountains.

Xiao Mingzhang couldn't see where it was on the other side of the mountain.

The scenery outside the window was reflected in his deep pupils, and the man's sharp facial features were deep and peaceful.

"Mr. Xiao, it's time to take medicine."

A nurse came over, carrying a tray. On the plate are the medicines he needs to take every day.

Xiao Mingzhang took the medicine with warm water.

At this time, he saw the peeled chestnuts in the small bowl on the table, reached out and took one and ate it.

He didn't really like eating these sweet and greasy things, but the taste of chestnuts made him feel very special.

At this time, there was a sound of high heels outside the ward.

"Brother Mingzhang." Xiao Qiaoqiao, wearing a long purple windbreaker, appeared at the door. She walked in with her bag on her shoulder, "Brother Mingzhang, I miss you so much."

She placed the bag on the table and opened it.

"Brother Mingzhang, I brought you delicious snacks made by the Xiao family chef."

"Brother Mingzhang, you must try it. I made this lotus cake myself."

Xiao Qiaoqiao brought a lot of snacks.

At this time, she saw the chestnuts on the table, frowned, and picked up the packaging bag: "Which roadside stall bought the chestnuts? Brother Mingzhang, how do you eat this? The food outside is unhygienic, if you want to eat chestnuts , I let the chef at home do it.”

As she spoke, she threw the chestnuts and packaging into the trash can.

Xiao Mingzhang frowned and picked up the chestnuts again, with restrained indifference in his voice: "There is no need to waste things."

"Okay, okay, whatever my brother Mingzhang says is whatever he says."

Xiao Qiaoqiao didn't feel his displeasure.

She held his arm, raised her face and said coquettishly to him: "Brother Mingzhang, I missed you so much these days when you went abroad. I told my father several times that I wanted to visit you, but he said he couldn't disturb you. Do you want to Don’t you want me?”

"Qiao Qiao, I still have some work to do here."

"What kind of job? Let me take a look." Xiao Qiaoqiao scanned his documents, "Oh, these are things that people can't understand again. What are these symbols? I've never seen them before."

"Qiaoqiao, the treatment has been delayed for a while, so we need to catch up on the progress."

"Brother Mingzhang, are you driving me away? I won't leave. You can work, I'll watch you from the side."

Xiao Qiaoqiao simply sat down on the sofa, held her chin up, and looked at Xiao Mingzhang intently.

Her brother Mingzhang was so good-looking, handsome and dignified, with a gentle breeze and a bright moonlight, but he had an aura that made him stand out.

Xiao Mingzhang didn't say anything. He stood alone by the window and continued to read the report in his hand.

When he was reading the report, Xiao Qiaoqiao was looking at him.

As she watched, Xiao Qiaoqiao lost her patience and kept chatting with her best friend on WeChat. Her noisy voice filled the whole ward.

Xiao Mingzhang frowned sharply.

Fortunately, Xiao Qiaoqiao made a fuss for a while, stood up and put her bag on her back: "Brother Mingzhang, Xiaomo asked me to go shopping. Can I buy you some coats? It's getting cold."

"No need to buy them, I have more clothes in my wardrobe than I can wear."

"If you can't wear them all, you can't wear them all. The worst thing you can do is hang them in the closet. Do we, the Xiao family, care about a few more clothes?"

With that said, Xiao Qiaoqiao went out and said goodbye to him: "Brother Mingzhang, I'm leaving first. I'm going to buy clothes for you."

Xiao Qiaoqiao hates hospitals the most. The smell here makes her uncomfortable.

She had poor health since she was a child and often came to the hospital as a child, which left a shadow on her.

As soon as she came out, she called Xiaomo: "Wait for me at the mall. I'll be here in ten minutes. I'm coming out of the hospital."

"Miss, I'll wait for you at the old place. Have you seen your brother Mingzhang?"

"Yes, of course. I haven't seen him for a long time."

"Miss, I said you are usually arrogant and domineering. Why are you so timid when you come to your brother Mingming?"
