Transmigrated to a Period Novel as the Genius Antagonist's Birth Mother

Chapter 40: Rain

In fact, when she first studied medicine, she couldn't claim to have a particular interest. It was just that her grandfather practiced Traditional Chinese Medicine and pushed her to study it, so she rebelliously pursued Western medicine.

Later, there was no turning back, and she continued her studies. Looking back now, she can't say that she had no interest in it all the way.

Otherwise, she wouldn't be contemplating and still wanting to study medicine, even though what she wants to study is Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Medicine has already been carved into her bones and can't be changed.

"Chu Xia?"

Chu Xia didn't say anything for a long time, Cen Zhengnian thought she was asleep, lowered his voice and called out tentatively.

Chu Xia woke up from her memories and remembered that Cen Zhengnian was not unfamiliar with doing household chores. She couldn't help but ask, "Did you do everything yourself when you were in the northwest?"

Cen Zhengnian didn't expect Chu Xia to ask this, he gave a "hmm" sound and said with a smile on his face, "Except for the canteen for meals, I still did most of the things by myself... "

Seeing that Chu Xia is interested, Cen Zhengnian talked more about his life in the northwestern base, not involving work secrets.

When he mentioned something interesting, Chu Xia would laugh quietly and ask, "Really? So, you guys have this side too."

Cen Zhengnian listened to Chu Xia's delicate laughter, felt his ears tickling, his heart moved, his hand pinched Chu Xia's hand, "Chu Xia."

The quiet chamber is suddenly filled with an unspeakable ambiguity.

Chunxia's body tensed as a scorching sensation spread from the back of her hand where Cen Zhengnian touched, through her limbs. Her face suddenly felt a bit hot, and she quickly pulled her hand away, turning her back to Cen Zhengnian.

"It's late, time to sleep."

The warm and soft touch  feeling in Cen Zhengnian's hand disappears, he subconsciously rubs his fingers, looks at Chu Xia's back, and then looks at Cen Huai'an who is lying in the middle of the two.

In his heart, he sighed: The building of An'an's bed is still a bit slow, it needs to be rushed.

***

The next day, Chunxia woke up early and looked out of the window. The weather was quite pleasant.

Although it's not a sunny day with bright sunshine, the sky is not overcast, it's just a bit cloudy. A day like this was the most comfortable when it wasn't cold or hot.

It was that after she woke up, whenever she met Cen Zhengnian's smiling gaze, she could not help but think of last night's incident and her face would burn a little, making her always want to avoid his eyes.

Luckily, she will be going to work soon, so she can avoid Cen Zhengnian who makes her feel uncomfortable.

By the time noon rolls around, Chu Xia adjusts herself, and getting along with Cen Zhengnian returns to the natural state she was in before.

What Chu Xia didn't expect, though, was that despite the seemingly rain-free morning, it unexpectedly started raining in the afternoon.

She had forgotten to bring an umbrella that day, and as she sat in her office, she watched the rain falling steadily outside, forming a curtain of raindrops. She couldn't help but worry.

The autumn rain was chilly, and if she got caught in the rain, she was sure to get sick. She wondered if the rain would stop by the time she got off work.

Clearly, Chu Xia was in for disappointment. When it was time to leave work, the rain had not diminished as she had hoped; in fact, it had grown heavier.

Chu Xia stands under the corridor with the factory workers, watching the rain and not daring to rush in.

"Chu Xia, are you leaving?"

Huang Tingyue, a colleague from the same department as Chu Xia, asks her, and she's already holding up her jacket and is about to rush into the rain.

It's not a good idea to keep waiting like this. Cen Zhengnian has to go pick up An'an, so he probably can't come to pick her up. Chu Xia grits her teeth, and is about to rush out with Huang Tingyue, when she hears a voice that is like heavenly music.

"Chu Xia!"

It's Cen Zhengnian!

Chu Xia immediately raises her head and looks towards the rain curtain, only to see Cen Zhengnian holding a black umbrella, making his way against the crowd, step by step, with determination in his direction.

His posture is still straight as a pine, the gust of wind blew his hair messy, he did not seem to notice, his eyes only saw her alone.

"I'm late, let's go."

Chu Xia is shielded by him under the umbrella, he holds her shoulders with one hand and holds the umbrella with the other, and the two of them step into the rain once again.

The rain is indeed a little bit heavy, also with the wind, hitting the body a stream of coolness came, Chu Xia's body involuntarily shivered.

Cen Zhengnian puts her into his arms again, "Cold? Let's walk faster, we'll be home in a while."

Even as they approached home, most of Chu Xia's clothes were soaked, especially in the front where the umbrella couldn't shield her from the rain.

She was wearing just a shirt, and it clung to her body, making her feel cold and uncomfortable.

When Cen Zhengnian closed the umbrella and turned around, he saw Chu Xia's thin shirt adhering tightly to her body, revealing a significant portion of her skin underneath.
