Chapter 954: Worry
"Slower, slower, be careful not to choke. Here, take a sip of soup!" An Zhiyuan looked at his wife with heartache as she wolfed down her food like she hadn’t eaten for days.
Feeding Bai Xiao a spoonful of seaweed egg drop soup, Bai Xiao finally patted her chest and breathed out a sigh of relief.
She grinned sheepishly, "I was hungry!"
An Zhiyuan poked her forehead, "You never listen, do you? You don’t take care of your body. What if you end up with gastritis from starving yourself?"
He added more dishes for her, splitting the braised lion’s head meatball in half with chopsticks before placing it in her bowl, along with other side dishes.
Bai Xiao took a bite of the meatball, "Mmm, mmm! Delicious! It’s really good!"
"Of course it tastes good—you’re starving! You haven’t eaten all day, and don’t you worry about what might happen if you keep this up? Let me warn you: if this continues, I’ll consider transferring you back to the hospital to save myself the trouble. You’re so focused on studying here that it might become a health issue." An Zhiyuan spoke with slight dissatisfaction, feeling his wife was pushing herself too hard.
At his core, he was a traditional man. He hoped to shoulder most of the responsibilities and wanted his wife to enjoy the shelter and care he provided. But Bai Xiao worked harder than anyone, more relentless than even most men.
Bai Xiao protested, "Second Brother An, you’re being unreasonable! It’s just occasional—I bet you’ve skipped meals because of training, haven’t you? Humph! I haven’t held that against you, but now you have the nerve to apply double standards!"
Her tone betrayed a hint of guilt; in truth, cases of skipped meals during training were rare for people like An Zhiyuan. Their biological clock was precise, and even if their instructors skipped meals, it wouldn’t mean the team members were also forced to. Compared to her, An Zhiyuan’s life was much more orderly.
