Chapter 306: Chapter 306 Can’t Be Compared

"Do you think those two are going to get struck by lightning?" Peng Fei leaned against Tang Chuxia’s hospital room, looking exasperated as he asked.

Tang Chuxia sized up Peng Fei; he was a handsome pilot with a good physique, just perhaps not the sharpest tool in the shed.

"I don’t know about lightning, but you might get struck by someone here!"

Tang Chuxia kindly reminded him, and Peng Fei jumped aside, feeling a gust of wind behind him. He looked back and saw Tang Jianzheng’s cane about to strike him.

Truly heartless.

Peng Fei protested loudly, but unfortunately, no one paid him any mind.

Instead, he provided everyone with plenty of laughs.

Tang Chuxia saw Huang Yaqin, blushing, as she pulled Tang Jianzheng out of the room. Before leaving, she gestured to Tang Chuxia, indicating one thing: I’ve got this!

Tang Chuxia gave her a thumbs-up.

It turned out Tang Jianzheng thought Tang Chuxia and Huang Yaqin had conspired to mess with him. When he came to confront Tang Chuxia, Huang Yaqin had silenced him and stuffed him with the medicine.

At that moment, being passionately kissed by Huang Yaqin in public was the least of his worries; his face was as red as a monkey’s bottom, watched by his sister and partner.

After they left, Peng Fei opened the fruit can he brought and handed it to Tang Chuxia.

"It’s from your boyfriend. He was worried you didn’t have anything good to eat, so he asked me to bring it over!"

After Peng Fei explained, Tang Chuxia asked, "Didn’t he retire from the military? Why is he still working with you guys? What’s going on with him exactly?"

You can’t blame Tang Chuxia for being curious; Gu Beihuai’s actions were full of inconsistencies.

Peng Fei didn’t dare tell the truth, afraid of getting in trouble.

"Uh... better wait and ask your boyfriend yourself. I’m just the errand boy!" Peng Fei dodged the question.

Tang Chuxia understood what his reaction meant and simply sighed, dropping the subject.

"If not about Gu Beihuai, what about my Third Brother? He’s looking to retire — did your boss approve it?" Tang Chuxia still remembered what Tang Jianzheng wanted to do.

Peng Fei shook his head. "No way. As soon as our boss heard about it, he drove off to see the higher-ups!"

Peng Fei sighed, "The boss’s leg is indeed a problem, but even with an injured leg, his mind is sharp. As long as he’s around, we all feel secure!"

Tang Jianzheng’s abilities were well recognized; it wasn’t something that could be brushed off with a few words.

"So what’s going to happen?"

Tang Chuxia’s question left Peng Fei speechless.

This time, Peng Fei truly had no answer, feeling embarrassed not being able to answer two questions in a row.

Seeing Peng Fei’s awkwardness, Tang Chuxia relented, "Alright, I know what you can share is limited. Can you at least tell me whether retired soldiers can re-enlist?"

Peng Fei was shocked.

"No way!"

Tang Chuxia was certain now.

Gu Beihuai was hiding things from her.

And quite a few things at that.

However, it wasn’t the right time to confront Gu Beihuai about it, so Tang Chuxia gestured for Peng Fei to open another fruit can for her.

Peng Fei strained and still couldn’t open it, causing Tang Chuxia to look at him quizzically.

The meaning was clear: if you can’t even open a fruit can, what’s the use?

This was truly mortifying for Peng Fei.

He never expected Tang Chuxia to be so blunt, but he really couldn’t open it. The can’s design was so sturdy; he found it was a bit of an anti-user piece of design.

"Let me try!" Tang Chuxia didn’t want to further hurt Peng Fei’s pride and kindly took the can from him.

Having witnessed Tang Chuxia’s impressive skills, Peng Fei knew she could definitely open it, and he reminded her, "Even if you’re strong, that’s not the point; you need finesse to open the can."

Before Peng Fei finished his sentence, Tang Chuxia had merely crossed her hands and tapped the lid lightly.

Snap—

A crisp sound rang out, and then Tang Chuxia twisted the lid, opening it easily.

Peng Fei: ...

She actually opened it?

What about the finesse?

The key point is, isn’t tapping the bottom of the can the standard finesse technique?

Peng Fei couldn’t believe what he saw and picked up another fruit can, but again, he couldn’t open it.

Tang Chuxia felt a bit of pity for Peng Fei, took the can from his hand, and naturally tried another way, yet again opening the can with a snap.

This time, Peng Fei was floored.

He was completely befuddled.

How could he be stumped by a simple can?

By the third can, Tang Chuxia switched methods, but no matter what she tried, she could easily pop the cans open.

If every can in the room hadn’t already been opened, and there were no more cans to try, Tang Chuxia might have continued giving Peng Fei reasons to doubt himself.

"Why’s that? How can a grown man not open a can? Who would believe that?"

Peng Fei fell into self-doubt, while Tang Chuxia was happily munching away on her hawthorn can, enjoying its sweet and sour taste.

When Huang Yaqin came by to report the situation to Tang Chuxia, she saw Peng Fei still wrestling with a bottle and Tang Chuxia stuffed full of fruit cans.

"What are you two doing?" Huang Yaqin asked curiously, to which Peng Fei stormed out of the room.

Tang Chuxia handed her a can. "It’s naturally about a man’s injured pride; he’s still trying to find a way to restore it!"

Huang Yaqin: "Restore?"

Tang Chuxia chuckled, "Not restore, recover his dignity. I bet the fruit cans are in for it next!"

Tang Chuxia joked, pulling Huang Yaqin to sit down. "Third sister-in-law, is Third Brother asleep?"

Mentioning Tang Jianzheng, Huang Yaqin sobered up and nodded seriously.

"How did you know?"

It wasn’t odd for Huang Yaqin to be curious; Tang Chuxia seemed to predict everything.

Tang Chuxia gestured for her to eat a can. "Well, because the medicine was meant to make him sleep!"

Huang Yaqin exclaimed, not expecting the medicine to have such an effect, she distinctly remembered it was supposed to be different.

Afraid she’d react poorly, Tang Chuxia quickly reminded her, "The pain from bone healing is incredibly hard to bear. If it grows slowly and is a bit uncomfortable each day, it’s manageable. But the medicine I gave him speeds up growth."

No need for Tang Chuxia to elaborate; Huang Yaqin understood.

It could make Tang Jianzheng howl in pain.

Rather than endure such pain, it was better for him to sleep through it, sparing his body much torture.

Having received the answer, Huang Yaqin finally focused on the can in her hand, then her gaze swept across the table full of fruit cans.

"Are you hosting a fruit showcase?"

Tang Chuxia sighed, "I can’t help it, it’s not like I wanted to!"
