Chapter 161: Chapter 4 Middle-aged Man_2
When they returned to the train compartment, seeing the wound on Little Niangao’s face, Lin Xiaoguai, who had already calmed down, once again felt a surge of heartache. It was the first time the child had suffered such a serious injury as he had grown up.
Shen Chi took the medicine he had asked the attendant for and treated Little Niangao’s wounds, who occasionally let out pained sobs.
After the wound was treated, Lin Xiaoguai couldn’t help but complain to Shen Chi, "How did you let Little Niangao get hurt while following you?"
Shen Chi touched his nose, "I didn’t pay attention when that little girl came up and spoke to Little Niangao, who knew she would strike so quickly, I didn’t even have time to react." He also felt annoyed, thinking if he had been more alert at that time, his son wouldn’t have had to suffer.
"That child is really too much." Lin Xiaoguai said as she wiped her son’s tear-streaked face with a wet towel, "Such a young child is so domineering? Eight-year-olds should know better, to strike with such force, I’m just thankful she didn’t have enough strength, otherwise Little Niangao’s eyes might have been damaged."
At that, she felt a burst of fear.
"Mommy, I want to eat canned yellow peaches." In just a while, Little Niangao had already forgotten the pain on his face, pointing at the canned yellow peaches on the table and speaking in a cutesy manner.
"You can only have two, no more." Knowing her son was taking advantage of the situation to act spoiled, but after he had just suffered, Lin Xiaoguai couldn’t bear to refuse him.
"Do you know who that person was?" After feeding her son the canned yellow peaches, Lin Xiaoguai’s rationality had returned, and she asked Shen Chi.
Their train was heading directly to the Capital, and they weren’t afraid of the opponent having influence, only that the person might be from the Capital. In a place unfamiliar to them, it wouldn’t be difficult to handle.
"Rest assured, there won’t be any problems." Shen Chi’s expression was indifferent, but his tone was extremely confident.
Although he wasn’t fond of so-called prestigious families, what was his wouldn’t slip away, and he didn’t mind utilizing what he could.
"Little Niangao, look what Grandpa Jiang bought for you." At this point, Mr. Jiang came in with a can of eight treasure porridge.
Lin Xiaoguai blinked, "That’s quite expensive, isn’t it?" If she wasn’t mistaken, this was a newly available item.
"Four cents a can. I saw that children love it, so I bought one for Little Niangao." Mr. Jiang always believed in compensating the children when they were wronged, it had been the same with Jiang Xiaomei when she was young, and now it was the same for Little Niangao.
Lin Xiaoguai didn’t say anything about paying him back and just turned to Little Niangao, "What did mommy tell you?"
"Thank you, Grandpa Jiang." Little Niangao, eyes fixated on the can of eight treasure porridge, spoke sweetly.
"No need, no need." Mr. Jiang chuckled as he opened the porridge, "I saw others opening it this way, not sure if it’s right... It’s open now."
Taking the plastic spoon from the lid, Mr. Jiang handed the eight treasure porridge to Little Niangao, "Hold it well, be careful not to spill it."
Cunningly, Little Niangao didn’t start eating first, but stubbornly fed every adult a mouthful before beginning to eat himself.
"This child is really considerate." Mrs. Jiang smiled as she patted his head, "Eat slowly, be careful not to choke."
She felt somewhat envious in her heart; her own Mei was three years older than Xiao Guai, and yet they still hadn’t seen a grandchild.
"Uncle, will you go stay at our place after getting off?" Lin Xiaoguai asked, "We should have accommodations in the military region once we arrive, but if you have nowhere to go, you can stay at our place for a couple of days."
"No need, Mei has already rented a place for us there; she even aired out and made the beds, so we won’t bother you," Mr. Jiang declined.
"Will Mei come to pick you up?" Lin Xiaoguai asked with some anticipation.
"She won’t. We haven’t told her our train schedule; we’ll call her once we’re there, so as not to disturb her," Mr. Jiang replied cheerfully.
Lin Xiaoguai felt a bit disappointed; she hadn’t seen Jiang Xiaomei for half a year.
"It’s fine, we’ll all be in the Capital hereafter, there will be plenty of opportunities to meet," Mrs. Jiang observed her mood and comforted her with a smile.
Since it was late at night, they didn’t talk much further. Once Little Niangao finished his eight treasure porridge, and after they had brushed his teeth and rinsed his mouth, they went to sleep.
After a day of novelty and two days of weariness, the train finally arrived at the Capital Railway Station.
Descending from the train, Mr. and Mrs. Jiang took their leave first, while Shen Chi led Lin Xiaoguai and Little Niangao toward a middle-aged man.
"Why are you here?"
Lin Xiaoguai initially thought this man was someone from the military region to meet Shen Chi, but seeing Shen Chi’s expression—she couldn’t quite place it, it seemed a bit disdainful, yet somewhat excited, but that wasn’t quite it either.
She looked up at the middle-aged man, probably between 35 to 40, handsome, with a rugged military air about him, yet his demeanor remained calm and refined, with faint crow’s feet at the corners of his eyes, which didn’t detract from his charm at all.
Moreover...
Lin Xiaoguai slightly furrowed her brows, this man gave her an overall sense of familiarity; she thought for a long time before realizing, it was his aura—this man’s aura was unexpectedly similar to that of Shen Chi, who in her past life had already become an admiral in the Military Department.
And that kind of dignified presence usually belonged to those in high positions!
Hearing Shen Chi’s words, the man’s expression turned somewhat helpless, "Why didn’t you call me before coming to the Capital?"
"You knew even without a call, didn’t you?" Shen Chi scoffed.
Lin Xiaoguai looked puzzled; was it her misconception? Shen Chi’s words sounded like he was pouting.
The man shook his head with a smile and said, "You probably haven’t had dinner yet, come on, I’ll take you for a meal."
This time Shen Chi didn’t say anything and obediently followed him to a restaurant, Lin Xiaoguai naturally had no objections.
It seemed as if they had some private words to exchange, the man led them to a private room.
"What’s this, not going to introduce me?" The middle-aged man’s gaze implied, looking at Lin Xiaoguai.
Shen Chi pursed his lips, it seemed he made up his mind, then turned to Lin Xiaoguai and said, "Wanwan, this is my elder brother, Han Shouxin." (To be continued.
