MTL - My Stepmother is Soft and Charming-Chapter 552 Come all the way

“Who can come here in such a snowy weather? Brother Xing, you must be so popular.”

Hearing the joke from a recruit next to him, everyone also laughed. Xing Zhao didn't take it seriously and said as if he was a stranger.

“You’re kidding, do you think I’ve been eating and drinking all the time you’ve been through for being more than ten years older than you? Who are you? I’ll go check it out.”

Everyone wanted to join in the fun, so they also left the tent.

 Unfortunately, when he saw someone, Xing Zhao's smile froze even before it fell. His eyes changed from doubtful to accusatory, and he suddenly lost his temper.

"How did you come?"

 “Who is it? Brother Xing?”

Other recruits looked at the man who had a white face and red lips. He was tall and thin, completely buried in the big cloak. At first glance, he looked weak and incompetent, and they didn't know what his background was.

“I have something to send home, so I just went along to see the excitement.”

That voice was clear and graceful, but it contained a bit of coldness.

 Unfortunately, before the other party finished speaking, Xing Zhao pulled her away with a tigerish face, leaving everyone behind in confusion.

Xing Zhao didn't have an independent tent, so he took the people and ran to Ni Yang's tent.

Ni Yang felt a little strange when he saw Xing Zhao walking in angrily. Unexpectedly, he turned around and saw the person coming, and was quite surprised.

“Doctor Xia, why are you here?”

“I came to help deliver something, and I happened to meet Xing Zhao.”

"Oh I got it."

Ni Yang looked back and forth between the two of them. Even a stupid person could tell that something was wrong, so he laughed awkwardly and said.

"Old Zheng has something to do with me. I'll go over there and you guys can chat."

 After saying that, he quickly left the tent, leaving only the two of them inside.

There was a charcoal fire inside the tent, so it was naturally much warmer than outside. Xia Meng put down the hood of her cloak and looked around and said.

“This tent has everything. Do you live in a similar tent?”

Xing Zhao looked at her enjoying herself and really didn't know what to say.

“You haven’t answered me yet, why are you here?”

“I just said, if you bring something from home, I’ll follow you and watch the fun.”

"what to give?"

"I don't know about this. Anyway, it was sent by Jing Yi's order. Is it probably something you need for winter?"

There was nothing in the military camp, so why did it need to be specially sent from home? Xing Zhao knew it was an excuse as soon as he heard it, and then he looked at Xia Meng seriously. Although he didn't say anything, the meaning was clear.

Xia Meng was a little embarrassed, but she quickly adjusted herself and looked directly into his eyes and said.

“They really came to deliver things, and it’s not entirely a lie that I came to see the fun. I heard that there is a doctor in the army who is very good at treating bone injuries and sword wounds, so I just wanted to steal his skills.”

 “Aren’t you good at gynecology and pediatric diseases?”

 “Live and learn, this is the original intention of people in our field.”

After hearing this, Xing Zhao felt that he might as well have just come to watch the excitement. At least he would have come for a few days and then left. But now, he wanted to steal his teacher? Is it possible that she still plans to live in this military camp? The Gu Jiajun had a female general, so there were no strict rules that said women were not allowed to enter.

But the sudden appearance of a female doctor would surely cause quite a stir. Xing Zhao did not want such a thing to happen, so he spoke immediately.

"You want to learn the art. It's easy. I know several people in Sui'an City who are good at sword and bone injuries. Follow them back and I will arrange for the doctors to come and teach you!"

Xia Meng raised the corner of his mouth and then asked.

 “Are you concerned about me?”

"The military camp is full of men. If we knew that a female doctor was here, I'm afraid there would be many more people injured for no apparent reason. Don't be afraid of getting tired. I have to care about the other military doctors."

Xia Meng chuckled lightly when he saw this, and then Xing Zhao realized that he had been deceived.

"I'm not kidding you anymore, I just followed Mr. Leng. I originally planned to go to Qiongzhou, but when I passed by Wangzhou, he had something to give to General Gu, so I followed him and left later. , you won’t be here for long, so you don’t have to worry.”

　　Although Xing Zhao felt a little sad after learning the truth, he was also somewhat disappointed.

 There was a sense of disappointment that she was not here for him.

 But he was still lost, and he still had to work hard to save face, and then he said with a sigh of relief.

“That’s good, what are you doing in Qiongzhou?”

"Walking around and looking around. In the past few years, I have been to Shuzhou, Beidi, and Qiongzhou again. So I have traveled a lot in Daxing Dynasty. If there is a chance, I will go with Jingyi and the others again. When I go to Cezhou, I can be regarded as a person who travels north and south. Maybe I will go out with the Su family's shipping to see what other countries are like."

Her arrangement was quite chic, and Xing Zhao was a little sour when he heard it.

Without these court affairs, he would have thought about such a life, but there was nothing he could do about it. The blood of the Xing family and the Gu family flowed in his bones, so he had a mission that he had to complete.

“It’s a good time to go to Qiongzhou now. It’s warm there, unlike here where it snows so hard that your hands and feet are so cold that you can’t use them.”

Looking at his deliberate joking, Xia Meng couldn't help laughing.

I haven't seen him for a few days. Although Xing Zhao's temperament is the same as before, he seems to be much more cheerful and comfortable than when he was in Sui'an City.

 Perhaps this is a good home for him, so he feels comfortable from the bottom of his heart.

Thinking of this, Xia Meng took out a bag from his arms. It was not big, but it contained some bottles and jars of things, and a small book with names and usages densely recorded on it.

"These are medicines for stopping bleeding and preventing infection. I have marked them all. You should be more careful when training."

He didn't say much, but Xing Zhao still felt Xia Meng's concern.

This is the first time that the two of them have shown concern for each other, so the atmosphere is naturally a little different.

Xia Meng is not the type to cry and act coquettishly, so she can't say many words, but she is better at being straightforward. Since she has figured it out in her heart, she won't be coy.

"It will be about a year later when I come back from Qiongzhou, so I have something to ask you. Will you be willing to have a family with me by then?"

Xia Meng spoke very calmly, but Xing Zhao was a little stunned.

He has never met a woman who spoke so straightforwardly in his life, so he was naturally more surprised than anything else.

"Why did you say that suddenly? What happened to you?"

Xing Zhao did not answer directly, but asked about other matters. Xia Meng did not force him to express his position immediately, and said with a sigh of relief.
