Chapter 195: Are They Whispering Loudly on Purpose?
Stars covered the magnificent night sky everywhere.
Li Beinian put on Mu Xichen’s coat and sat on the gra.s.s.
There was an overwhelming sound of gra.s.s behind her as his footsteps approached, slow, calm, and steady.
Li Beinian didn’t need to look back to see who it was.
Looking up at the beautiful starry sky that she had never seen before in her past two lives, the corners of her lips raised in a satisfying arc and she said softly, “It’s beautiful.”
Mu Xichen glanced at the sky above his head.
The starlight was clear in the large area.
He had also thought it was beautiful the first time he saw it.
But he had become numb to it after years of b.l.o.o.d.y battles.
Now, when he looked up, the sky was the sky, the stars were the stars. It didn’t matter if it was beautiful.
But when he heard this, he still looked up subconsciously.
He felt a little amused at his own action and laughed, then looked at Li Beinian and said, “The hot water is ready, you should take a shower first.”
“Shower?” Li Beinian was surprised. “You have room to shower here? And you can even prepare hot water?”
She subconsciously glanced at the tent stationed behind her, then immediately jumped up, patted her bottom, and said, “You’re in such difficult conditions, I thought you didn’t bathe.”
Mu Xichen didn’t speak and turned back.
Li Beinian followed him and entered the training camp soon.
From afar, she saw a few soldiers smiling at her, their eyes ambiguous.
“We haven’t bathed in half a month and usually have to sneak into the stream to take a shower. How could we get this treatment?”
“You’re already considered lucky. The Chief has it hard every day and has to wipe his body with cold water. Take a shower? Dream on.”
“The Chief is a man and is used to it, but sister-in-law is a girl. She must be clean!”
“Shh, sister-in-law might hear it, don’t say it so loudly!”
Li Beinian was speechless.
Were they whispering so loudly on purpose?
She heard it all!
However, after hearing these words, she felt uncomfortable inside.
She subconsciously glanced at Mu Xichen.
His posture was still very stable, and he was standing tall and straight in a relaxed stance.
His height was 1.9m? 1.88m?
The gunshot wound on his leg didn’t seem to have a serious impact on him.
He had clearly lost so much blood in the afternoon and his face had turned pale…
But at night, he seemed alright. This guy… was a demon!
Li Beinian followed quickly and called, “Mu Xichen.”
“Yes?”
Mu Xichen glanced at her sideways.
Li Beinian was a little embarra.s.sed. She hesitated for a moment and said, “Actually, you don’t have to…”
“Why?” Mu Xichen didn’t seem to understand what she was talking about. He turned his head and said slowly, “Go ahead. Wash my clothes as well, or I won’t have any clothes to wear tomorrow.”
Then, he brought Li Beinian to a small compartment room.
The surroundings were simple and had been covered for her.
Li Beinian looked at it and her lips twitched, but she didn’t say anything.
After a whole day, her body was extremely dirty.
After taking a shower, Li Beinian felt refreshed.
A man’s T-s.h.i.+rt was hung on the curtain.
It was light gray and very clean.
She picked it up and smelled it. It had Mu Xichen’s fragrance.
It was faint, but also so strong that it couldn’t be ignored.
Realizing this, she felt her face grow inexplicably hot.
When had she remembered his faint smell?
