Chapter 299: This Kid is a Bit Strange

In the evening, Cheng Su was preparing dinner when she saw Ning Ge come back with a pale face, which startled her.

"What happened to you? Are you sick?" she approached to feel his forehead.

Ning Ge dodged, saying, "I feel a bit heavy-headed, don’t call me for dinner, I am going to lie down for a while."

Without waiting for Cheng Su to respond, he locked himself in his room.

There must be something wrong when someone acts out of the ordinary!

Cheng Su quickly called Qi Taiguo, who was in the bathroom, told him about Ning Ge’s condition, and Qi Taiguo frowned as he knocked on Ning Ge’s door, but there was no answer.

Qi Taiguo looked at Cheng Su, who pursed her lips and mimed something.

Qi Taiguo had no choice but to turn the knob and go in. He emerged after a short while and said, "He says he has a headache, I felt it, his forehead is a bit warm, I’ll get him some medicine."

Cheng Su became a bit anxious after hearing this and quickly poured a glass of water, saying, "You take a good look, make sure he doesn’t get a fever, it’s easy to catch a cold with this weather."

"Mhm!"

Seeing him go in, she took a pot and started to boil another batch of porridge just in case. If he suddenly got sick, it wouldn’t be good to have nothing in his stomach.

Inside the room, Qi Taiguo gave Ning Ge the medicine and said, "If you’re feeling unwell anywhere, don’t just keep it to yourself, your sister-in-law is as anxious as an ant on a hot pan!"

After swallowing the medicine, Ning Ge looked steadily at Qi Taiguo and suddenly asked, "Big Brother Qi, under what circumstances would a soldier kill someone?"

Qi Taiguo was taken aback and replied, "If the other party severely infringes on national interests, damages the foundations of the country... But why do you ask this?"

With a faint smile, Ning Ge said, "Nothing, just curious," and lay down, closing his eyes.

Qi Taiguo found it all very odd, so he adjusted Ning Ge’s blanket and walked out of the room.

As soon as the door closed, Ning Ge’s eyes snapped open, staring at the white ceiling. A tear rolled down from the corner of his eye.

When Qi Taiguo came out, Cheng Su immediately asked him about the situation.

"Nothing much, he took his medicine and went to sleep, but the kid is a bit strange!" Qi Taiguo clicked his tongue.

"Strange in what way?"

"Can’t quite put my finger on it. Just feels strange," Qi Taiguo said. "Maybe being sick has made him a bit delirious?"

Cheng Su gave him a look and said, "Go downstairs and help me bring up the laundry, then let’s eat!"

Qi Taiguo acknowledged with a sound.

After dinner, Cheng Su folded the clothes while discussing with Qi Taiguo that his mother-in-law and Elder Sister would be coming the next day.

Qi Taiguo said, "I’ll take a two-hour leave to pick them up. Why do they insist on coming over!"

"They are worried you won’t have enough to eat or sleep well," Cheng Su joked and added, "If you’re not free, I can pick them up myself. But once they’re here, Ning Ge will have to stay over at Southeast Ladder, so you’d better arrange something!"

After speaking, she murmured about how small their house already was, that the guest room where Ning Ge was staying only had a bivouac, and wondered how he could be comfortable. She resolved that once they had money, they must get a bigger house.

Qi Taiguo said he got it, that at worst, he could sleep a few nights in the guest room and let the women have his bed.

That seemed to be the only solution.

Cheng Su clicked her tongue twice, glanced at the neatly folded clothes, and rummaged through them, asking, "Hey, Old Qi, did you bring all the laundry back?"

"I brought it all back, isn’t this everything?" Qi Taiguo said.

Cheng Su knit her brows, flipped through the clothes again and said, "Something’s not right, have you made a mistake? I’m missing a skirt!"

Qi Taiguo walked over to look, "Which skirt? Everything’s here, I hung them all on one rod last night, and there were no clothes left underneath!"
