The Hidden Beauty

Chapter 115: Ten Years of Life
Seeing that she was very shy, Meng Tingzhou looked at her with interest: "Why, I can't look at your feet now?"

"Just tell me where on your body I haven't seen?"

Jiang Shiwan glared at him: "Scoundrel!"

Meng Tingzhou put her feet in the basin and said, "You are still being stubborn with me. Look, your feet are like ice cubes."

He sat beside her and massaged her shoulders: "If the strategy you proposed today can help us win the battle, you will be the savior of all of us. It's nothing for me to wash your hands, feet, and shoulders. If you need it, I can also repay you with my body."

Even though he was exhausted, Jiang Shiwan couldn't help but laugh out loud when he heard his words: "That's really unfair to you, Lord Commander. You are willing to sacrifice yourself for the soldiers under you."

Meng Tingzhou let her lean on his arms and said, "Meimei, you are like a treasure. Your father is right. If you were a man, who in the world could surpass you?"

He wanted to see her expression, but when he looked down, he found that the person in his arms had fallen asleep.

It seems that I am really too tired.

When Jiang Shiwan woke up, he heard a lot of noise downstairs.

She felt as if her whole body was about to fall apart, but she still forced herself to go to the window and look.

Countless soldiers downstairs were wearing pedals and shuttling through the snow. Some of them were as light as a swallow, while others slid ten meters with each step, causing laughter from others.

"Cool! Cool!" Ayou's voice came from outside.

Jiang Shiwan hurried over to open the door.

Meng Shuyi hugged Ah You and smiled at her shyly: "My cousin asked the young master to sleep with me last night, and told me not to let him disturb you this morning. Now I can't stop him, so he must come to find you."

Jiang Shiwan leaned over, and Ah You rushed towards her, kissed her on the face, and said with satisfaction: "Cool, kiss, kiss cool..."

"My dear Ah You has grown up and knows how to kiss me." Jiang Shiwan asked Meng Shuyi to come in and sit for a while. "Thank you for your hard work last night, cousin."

"My cousin, you are joking. I don't have any special abilities. You are already giving me face by not looking down on me for taking care of the young master." Meng Shuyi looked at Ah You's facial features which were very similar to hers, and said enviously, "My cousin is indeed from a famous family. She can actually come up with such a good plan. You are really a good wife to my cousin."

Jiang Shiwan was a little embarrassed: "I just came up with an idea, I don't know if it will work."

Meng Shuyi said sincerely: "With your good ideas and my cousin's leadership, we will surely win this battle."

"Hopefully, we can reach the northern border soon." Jiang Shiwan looked at the lively scene outside. For some reason, he felt uneasy.

Meng Tingzhou led everyone in skiing skillfully.

He has mastered the essentials and taught everyone many skiing techniques.

Suddenly, he touched his chest and felt a bloody sensation in his throat.

"Puff..." With a spurt, a mouthful of blood spilled on the snow and bloomed into a scarlet flower.

"Governor..." Pei Qing was the first to catch up, and stretched out his hand to stop the people behind him from moving forward.

Seeing the blood on the ground, his face changed drastically.

Meng Tingzhou reminded him casually and grabbed a handful of snow to cover it up: "It's okay, don't make a fuss."

Pei Qing knew that this matter was of great importance, so he supported him and said, "No matter what, Commander, please go back first."

Meng Tingzhou did feel a chill and pain in his chest, and frowned: "Okay, I will go back by myself. You stay here."

"Captain..."

"This is a military order."

"Yes."

Pei Qing looked at him worriedly, then waved to the soldiers: "Continue." When Meng Shuyi came out of Jiang Shiwan's room, he just saw Meng Tingzhou walk into Doctor Mei's room.

She frowned and walked to the door as if possessed.

Doctor Mei shook his head and sighed: "The governor shouldn't be out in the snow."

"This is a matter of life and death. If I, as the Marshal, am absent, how can I stabilize the morale of the army?"

"I have said that if the governor takes good care of his injuries, he can live for ten years. If he doesn't pay attention, I'm afraid..."

Meng Tingzhou interrupted him: "Stop talking nonsense and find a way to pass this level first."

When Meng Tingzhou came out of Doctor Mei's room, he saw Meng Shuyi with tears in his eyes: "Why... are you here?"

Meng Shuyi stared at his chest and covered his mouth for fear of crying out loud: "Cousin, is what Doctor Mei said just now true?"

She couldn't believe it. In her eyes, her cousin had always been omnipotent, but Dr. Mei just said that he could only live for ten years if he took good care of his injuries...

Meng Tingzhou's lips turned slightly pale, and he smiled palely: "I believe that man can conquer nature."

Meng Shuyi nodded desperately: "Man can conquer nature, it will definitely work. When you get to the North, you must take good care of yourself."

"Don't cry." Meng Tingzhou was afraid that her reaction would alarm Madam Meng and Jiang Shiwan, "Shuyi, you must not tell anyone else. No one else should know except you."

From what he said, Jiang Shiwan didn't know about his physical condition. Meng Shuyi nodded: "Without my cousin's order, I won't tell anyone."

Meng Tingzhou walked up the stairs tiredly and waited until he reached the room. Jiang Shiwan was playing with Ayou. Seeing the carefree scene of the mother and son, his heart was filled with ripples.

"You're back." Jiang Shiwan was a little surprised, but saw that he didn't look very good, "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

Meng Tingzhou avoided the main point and said, "I feel a little uncomfortable in the area where my chest was injured before. I'll come back and rest for a while."

Jiang Shiwan helped him lie down: "Are you okay? Do you want me to call Doctor Mei?"

"I just came out from Doctor Mei's office. It's nothing. Just lie down for a while." Meng Tingzhou endured the discomfort in his chest and comforted her, "It's okay. Don't worry."

Jiang Shiwan carried Ah You out to the nurse, and after giving her a few instructions, he returned to cover Meng Tingzhou with a blanket: "You go to sleep, I'll sit with you, and I'll call you if there's anything."

As if she felt that the light coming through the window was too bright, she pulled the curtains mostly closed, and the room suddenly became much darker.

In the dim light, Meng Tingzhou called her softly, "Meimei."

"Ok?"

"Would you lie down next to me for a while?"

"it is good."

Jiang Shiwan lay down beside him and gently placed one hand on his injured chest: "Does it hurt?"

"Much better." Meng Tingzhou put his hand on hers, reluctant to let go.

ten years……

If she could only live for ten years, she would be less than thirty years old by then, and Ah You would only be in his teens...

Without me by their side, the mother and son...

Thinking about what might happen, he couldn't bear it: "Meimei, no matter what happens, you have to take good care of yourself and don't let others bully you, understand?"

Jiang Shiwan felt that what he said was incomprehensible, and had a bad feeling: "Are you hiding something from me?"
