Chapter 345: 345: Jiang Nuo Returns
Mu Qiuniang was bowing her head, taking the patient’s pulse, when she suddenly seemed to sense something and looked up.
The patients who had come for free consultations had somehow formed into two lines, while volunteers in glutinous rice flour T-shirts held pure white Bai Qiangwei bouquets in their hands.
Most importantly, the man standing in the middle. He wore an army green uniform and strode toward her.
His handsome face was deeply tanned, but his entire aura was different — vibrant and full of energy — shedding his former laziness and becoming as resilient as pine trees.
"A-Nuo..." she softly called his name.
The patients who didn’t know the truth were somewhat dumbfounded upon seeing this scene: Was this the Divine Doctor’s suitor? The scale of this is too big, isn’t it?
They didn’t associate him with the international superstar with lights shining all around. They couldn’t, because at this moment, Jiang Nuo had not a hint of celebrity aura, but every gesture and movement just screamed qualified military man.
"Honey, I’m back!" Jiang Nuo smiled, his steely demeanor dissipating, turning into something like a silly husky, especially because he spread his arms wide, waiting for a certain someone to jump into his embrace.
Mu Qiuniang couldn’t help but want to laugh, her face reddening with shyness. She stood up from her seat and walked towards him under the gaze of so many people.
Jiang Nuo picked her up and spun her around several times: "Honey, I missed you so much. In the days when I wasn’t here, did you miss me?"
"I did!" Mu Qiuniang’s voice was soft.
But Jiang Nuo was particularly happy, holding her in his arms felt like holding his entire world. He thought that despite the hardship of the special training during this period, it was truly worth it!
If it weren’t for this period of special training, he might never have known what he would have missed!
"Honey, you’ve had a hard time in the past!"
Before, he always thought it was him trying to catch up with her, and that she never stopped forging ahead. But during this period, he suddenly noticed many details he had never noticed before.
Actually, it wasn’t just him putting in the effort; she was too, always standing there waiting for him.
For that relentless time, she stood there, which was, in fact, a kind of danger. And she, to protect him, to allow him a perfect, happy life, had silently sacrificed a lot unknown to him.
If he hadn’t also embarked on the path of cultivation, he might never have known.
Jiang Nuo was aware of his limited aptitude and uncertain of how far he could go in the future, but he did not regret it. As long as she was with him on the road of life, that was his greatest happiness!
Yet, he wondered, what kind of pain would she have to endure someday if this happiness was cut short by his passing, and she was left behind?
With her tendency to say nothing and keep everything in her heart, Jiang Nuo was quite worried. He feared that when he could no longer catch up with her, and she once again traveled alone, what would she become?
He didn’t want her world to be filled with dark sorrow; he hoped she would always be as happy as the sun.
"Honey, don’t worry, I will definitely catch up with you!"
Jiang Nuo, emotionally, kissed her forehead.
Mu Qiuniang’s face was as red as the sunset, wanting to bury her head in his chest out of embarrassment. However, her heart was warming, and the melting feeling was so beautiful. She didn’t want to deceive herself and really didn’t want to refuse.
Onlookers of the glutinous rice flour troop exclaimed, "So sweet!"
"Idol, you are indeed the best!"
"Display of affection! Display of affection! Display of affection!"
...
Some even recorded it and directly posted it on Weibo: [Come and see, @JiangNuoIdol making a grand comeback and dispensing sweets!]
The ones present said: [Poster, you’re too fast!]
[At the scene now, I’ve been hit by this public display!]
[Lucky to witness the live version, the idol is indeed powerful, and the goddess is so flustered she doesn’t dare lift her head, hahahaha...]
[Love our idol and goddess!]
...
Those not present replied: [Another display, so harsh on the eyes! Worst part is, while you’re watching live, I can only watch the video!]
[Waaah... why wasn’t I there live?]
[I’ve gotten used to it, nothing more to say! @JiangNuo has always been like this, really making it hard for our shy gentle @Qiuniang!]
[Jealous of you guys on-site, whatever good stuff you have, hand it over, or else, hmm!]
...
When those elderly ladies and gentlemen later realized they were a couple, they were utterly shocked: So, the Divine Doctor’s husband is a soldier?!
Truly deserving of the title Divine Doctor, even her husband is amazing!
"No, ma’am, you’ve got it wrong. Our idol isn’t a soldier; he’s a big international star, one of those internationally famous ones. Do you know Jiang Nuo?"
"Jiang Nuo? Yes, yes, my grandson talks about him all the time."
"That’s him!"
"But can someone this dark be a star?" The elderly lady was puzzled; aren’t big stars quite pale, like pretty boys?
The rice flour troop laughed, "Ma’am, our idol isn’t dark; although I don’t know why he’s so tanned now, maybe he’s filming something military-related and went for some experience?"
Alright, in truth, she had no idea and was just saying whatever came to mind.
But seeing Jiang Nuo tanned like charcoal, most of the rice flour group thought so without much doubt, only lacking personal verification.
Jiang Nuo generously said that anyone who came today as a volunteer would receive autographed photos of him and his wife. But before that, everyone was kindly asked to return to their work stations and continue working.
Then, Jiang Nuo sat beside Mu Qiuniang, sweetly watching his wife work.
The way he stared was too clingy, making Mu Qiuniang blush while consulting, and every incoming patient would curiously glance at the two a few times. Even a lady urged them to have children upon learning they hadn’t yet.
"You two aren’t young anymore, hurry and have a baby, don’t be like my son, over thirty and still single, worrying me to death. I wait day and night to hold a grandchild!"
Jiang Nuo laughed, "Ma’am, I want that too, but this matter of fate is unpredictable, maybe the Child-Giving Guanyin skipped us, not granting us a child."
"Oh, is that so? Next time I go to pray to Guanyin, I’ll pray for you too."
"Thank you, ma’am. Here’s your prescription; take it and get your medicine at the stall later."
"Oh, got it! Your wife is a good woman; you must cherish her!" The lady reminded Jiang Nuo as she left.
Hearing this, a rice flour troop member escorting the lady to get her medicine wanted to laugh: Ma’am, worry not, if our idol dared to treat Qiuniang poorly, there would be no good husbands under the sky! Do you not know, he’s already become the most desired groom in the world?
On the way, the rice flour troop member enthusiastically explained to the lady how their idol usually flaunts his love, and how the goddess shows her skills. This couple is guaranteed to be sweet enough to give you a toothache.
