To My Dear Mr. Huo Chapter 170 - You Don’t Have To Be Like That

Chapter 170: You Don’t Have To Be Like That
He turned around and glared at the person before him, an ugly expression etched on his face.
Su Qingsang took this opportunity to pull herself away from his embrace and made a huge step back.
Qiu Yanbo turned towards Su Qingsang, as if he didn’t see the sour look on Huo Jinyao’s face.
“Qingsang. I just wanted to tell you that there are more victims being sent this way.”
Su Qingsang noticed them when she directed her gaze towards the direction in which he was pointing. She nodded, then turned towards Huo Jinyao.
“I’m going to tend to them. Go find somewhere to rest. It’s late.”
“I’m fine. If you’re not sleeping, my wife, I won’t be sleeping too.”
Huo Jinyao pulled out sweet words as if they were readily available up his sleeve. Su Qingsang rubbed her forehead, feeling a little shy.
It was alright if he spoke like this in private, but there were so many stranger out here. Seriously—
Shooting Huo Jinyaoa look, Su Qingsang threw herself into work again.
She busied herself until the latter half of the night. Only after the doctors and nurses of the next shift had woken up, Su Qingsang finally had time to get some rest.
There was a tent built specifically for the medical personnel, a single tent shared between many people.
Huo Jinyao kept waiting for Su Qingsang. When she was done with work, he pulled her over to a private tent he had someone build specially for him. “You can sleep here.”
“It’s fine. I don’t want to be spoiled.”
“How is this being spoiled?” Huo Jinyao held her hand. “It’s such a small space in here — I even thought it’s hardly presentable.”
“Huo Jinyao.”
“Alright, my wife. Stop arguing with me over such menial matters. Grab some rest quickly. You’ll probably be super busy tomorrow too.”
“Okay.”
Su Qingsang stopped arguing after considering that.
The surroundings were pretty ran down and the amenities were limited. She did a simple clean up, changed, and laid down.
By the time Huo Jinyao entered the tent after giving some instructions outside, he discovered that Su Qingsang had fallen asleep.
There were too many tasks and people surrounding her earlier. Huo Jinyao couldn’t look after her properly.
She was only relieved from her duties now. He took out the medicinal cream he had prepared earlier and sat beside Su Qingsang.
He had already noticed it earlier — Su Qingsang’s forehead was a little swollen. He didn’t know how she got this injury.
He applied the cream on Su Qingsang’s face, looking worried. His movements were not too powerful or sudden. Su Qingsang twitched a little and remained caught in a deep slumber.
She must be dead tired.
After applying the medicine and staring at her face for a bit, Huo Jinyao scooted over and planted a kiss on her cheek.
He then laid down next to her and fell asleep.
…
Before daybreak the next morning, Su Qingsang got up.
Nobody could possibly have had a good night’s sleep on a night like this. The air was filled with various noises from the excavator.
Huo Jinyao detected some movement the moment she woke up. He popped his head in. “Why don’t you sleep a little longer?”
As he had arrived late last night, he only had a proper look at her this morning.
There were dark shadows under Su Qingsang’s eyes, which suggested that she did not have a good rest.
Huo Jinyao’s heart ached. He had the wildest impulse todrag Su Qingsang back to Lin City.
“I’m not going to sleep anymore.” Sensing the commotion out there, Su Qingsang quickly sat up, stood and stretched out her limbs.
People were already bustling around by the time she emerged from the tent. After cleaning herself up, Su Qingsang wanted to head over to the tent where the medical team was housed.
“You probably should eat something before you go, right?”
Huo Jinyao pulled her hand back and stuffed some food he had prepared beforehand into it. “Eat your breakfast first. I won’t let you go out there if you don’t.”
Seeing how he had insisted on it, Su Qingsang accepted it without making a fuss.
She ate fast without giving a care for proper manners.
Huo Jinyao watched, feeling slightly mad, frustrated, helpless and worried in his heart. “Stop it — there’s no need for you to eat like that. There are so many who are injured — it’s useless to hurry like that.”
