Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 741

Chapter 741: Having a Meal Together
When Song Yan saw Li Shu’s pale lips trembling as he wiped her sweat, he frowned and said, “Look at you, don’t push yourself too hard. You just underwent a major surgery. Overdoing your exercise will only make your condition worse.”

Li Shu took a few deep breaths to calm her racing heart and said, “Brother Yan, I will be more careful next time.”

Song Yan looked into her eyes, frowned deeper, and asked, “Xiao Shu, are you saying that there will be a next time?”

Seeing him treating her like she was his daughter, Li Shu couldn’t help but chuckle and said, “Brother Yan, there won’t be a next time. I’m sorry for making you worry.”

Song Yan didn’t know what he said that was so funny. He was worried and angry that she was treating herself so harshly. Yet she still smiled even when he scolded her.

But seeing her smile, he felt his anger disappear instantly. He sighed and thought, ‘It turns out, this is what it feels like to have a naughty little sister.’

Patting her head gently, he said helplessly, “The cafeteria sells steamed fish today. Do you want to try it?”

“Can I eat that?” Li Shu asked.

“Yeah, let’s go.”

Song Yan pushed the wheelchair, and the two went to the cafeteria to have lunch. Along the way, the nurses looked at them with meaningful eyes.

Li Shu didn’t understand why they looked at her like this, and Song Yan didn’t care what others thought of him. So, under the watchful eyes of everyone, the two came to the cafeteria.

When they were at the cafeteria, Song Yan stood behind her wheelchair and asked, “Xiao Shu, do you want to eat anything else?”

Li Shu looked at the menu on the wall behind the counter and said, “Brother Yan, I want a bowl of porridge.”

Song Yan looked at the menu and found that she ordered the cheapest menu. He bent down, leaning closer, and said, “Xiao Shu, you can order a little more. You need to nourish your body in order to recover as soon as possible.”

Li Shu was caught off guard by his sudden voice appearing so close to her ear. Although she is only 12 years old, she already knows that boys and girls cannot get too close. So when she felt his breath brush her ear, she moved away and looked at him with wide eyes.

Seeing nothing but confusion in his eyes, Li Shu calmed down and said, “Brother Yan, I drank a glass of milk and ate a bowl of steamed eggs this morning. I’m actually not hungry.”

Song Yan thought for a while and said, “Okay then.”

Walking to the counter, Aunt Wu’s niece looked at the two of them unhappily. Seeing him coming over, she covered her jealousy, smiled and said, “Doctor Song, what do you want to eat today?”

Song Yan nodded to her and said, “Comrade, I want a plate of steamed fish, a plate of stir-fried vegetables, and two bowls of porridge.”

The young woman felt the sourness in her heart increase, but she didn’t show it on her face. She quickly wrote down the order and said, “Doctor Song, it’s three yuan and sixty cents in total, and two food stamps.”

Without saying anything, Song Yang took out his wallet and paid for the meal. Not long after, the food was ready, and the young woman said, “Doctor Song, I will help you put it on your table.”

“Thank you.” Song Yan did not refuse and pushed Li Shu’s wheelchair towards the nearest table.

Then, he went to bring over the steamed fish and stir-fry vegetables, while the young woman brought a tray with two bowls of porridge.

Putting down the bowl, she glanced at Li Shu and murmured in a low voice, “Why is Doctor Song so nice to this ugly girl?”

After hearing her words, Li Shu glanced at her but said nothing, as if she didn’t hear anything. But, her eyes changed when she looked at Song Yan. She always thought that because of her grandfather, he was kinder to her.

But think about it, no one knows her identity now. So, why should he be nice to her? Was he already suspicious about her identity?

Seeing that she was deep in thought again, Song Yan flicked her forehead and asked curiously, “Xiao Shu, what are you thinking about in your small head ah?”

After coming back to her senses, Li Shu rubbed her forehead and said, “Brother Yan, don’t hit me on the head. What if I become stupid and no one wants to marry me?”

Hearing what she said, Song Yang laughed and said amusedly, “You are just a child and you are already considering getting married?”

“Most of the girls in our village get married at the age of 14 and I’m already 12 years old,” she said.

Song Yan looked at her and said, “Girls must be eighteen years old before she can get married. This is what the leader said. So, don’t think about getting married when you are just a 12 years old child.”

Although his attitude was casual, his tone was firm, and Li Shu could tell that he was serious about this matter. She even felt that if she married under eighteen, he might scold her until her ears bleed.

Not hearing her answer, Song Yan glanced at her and asked, “Xiao Shu, are you listening to me?”

“I understand, Brother Yan,” Li Shu said with a smile.

Song Yan was very satisfied with her answer. He picked up the fish bones, put the meat into her bowl, and said, “You are too thin, eat more.”

This was the first time someone helped her pick out fish bones. Usually she did it for her brother. Looking at the tender fish meat, she felt like crying.

Song Yan didn’t know that his simple action moved Li Shu to tears as he ate quickly. He felt very hungry since he had not eaten breakfast and there were only 30 minutes left before major surgery.
