Chapter 892: Wait For Me In Bed
Upon hearing that Han Xuan’s condition was not that bad, Leng Zhiyuan was finally relieved. Although she did not have any good feelings towards Han Xuan, she was not some so magnious saint, but if Han Xuan was in danger, Zhou Yao would feel uncomfortable for the rest of his life. Because of this, she did not wish for Han Xuan to be in any danger.
“Xiao Zhi, your Major General has had many troubles lately. It has been hard on you.”
Xiao Zhi shook his head and said, “It’s not hard for me at all… I only feel worried for Major General… I can tell right now that Major General cannot live without you, Older Sister-in-law, but Miss Han Xuan cannot live without Major General…”
This kind of complicated relations.h.i.+p made Xiao Zhi feel troubled, and he weakly raised his eyebrows.
“Things will get better naturally. Everything will end up alright at last. You don’t have to worry too much,” said Leng Zhiyuan.
“Yeah, Older Sister-in-law, you should eat your meal while it is still hot, I will go out first.”
Xiao Zhi walked out, and Leng Zhiyuan sat down before the table to eat. There was a huge bowl of white rice, she did not have much of an appet.i.te, just a little bit.
After she was done with her meal, she stood up. Since she was here, she would make the best of the situation. It was nighttime now. She prepared to go and sleep. There were not too many amenities in the room. There was no shower in the room, so she used her pail to get some water to wash herself.
She came out of the washroom and headed towards the bed. Creak. The door suddenly opened.
Leng Zhiyuan turned her head back quickly to look over. Zhou Yao was back.
“You are back?” She stepped forward quickly and went on her tiptoes to help him remove his black coat.
“Yeah,” Zhou Yao answered. There were not too many emotions on his handsome face. He was a man who was normally quite reserved, but his features were all very tight, and there was fatigue on his face.
He’d just been up for not too long. He himself was a patient, but he still had to go and take care of another patient.
Leng Zhiyuan took his black leather jacket into her arms. The two sleeves of the coat had deep scratch marks, and it was probably because Han Xuan was in great pain and had scratched him. There was a long strand of black hair on the shoulder of his leather jacket.
Han Xuan’s.
She turned around and stretched her hand out to remove the long strand of hair, then threw it into the rubbish bin by the side of her feet.
At this moment, she was taken into a warm embrace from behind. The man buried his head into her hair again and sniffed her deeply. His voice was a little hoa.r.s.e, but it was more gentle than anything as he said, “Han Xuan would’ve harmed herself, so…I hugged her…”
Was this his explanation?
Because he saw her removing the long hair that Han Xuan left behind.
Leng Zhiyuan could not help but break out into laughter. This kind of explanation was not considered to be a good explanation for a woman. He was better off not explaining it. He was not too good with his words.
But he was honest.
“I got it. I do not mind these small things…” Leng Zhiyuan hung his leather jacket on the hanger before she asked, “Have you eaten already?”
“Not yet. Have you?”
“I ate already… I will ask Xiao Zhi to send some dinner over for you…”
Zhou Yao turned his gaze over to the side to look at the table. There were still more than half of the rice and dishes left. She’d only eaten a little bit. He had a frown on his face as he looked at her and asked, “Why did you eat so little?”
“Because…the dishes here do not taste good…”
She came up with a lie anyhow. Actually, the dishes were very delicious, but she had worry in her heart. She was unable to eat her food, and she did not want him to worry.
Zhou Yao heard her words and raised his eyebrows. He stretched his hand out to ruffle her hair. His gaze was loving as he said, “The conditions are limited here. Our Young Miss Leng should bear it temporarily. After this ordeal pa.s.ses, I will bring you out every day.”
Leng Zhiyuan was happy with his words. Her eyes were sparkling bright as she looked at him. She affirmed his words as she nodded her head, “How splendid!”
Zhou Yao laughed. He cupped her shoulders as he brought her over to the table, then he sat down in the chair. He took her bowl and started to eat.
“Ay, Zhou Yao, those are my leftovers.”
“It’s fine. I do not look down on you.”
Leng Zhiyuan did not have any choice but to watch him eat. Although he came from a wealthy family and had people serving him in all aspects of his needs, he was not picky after being a soldier for a long time. There were many good aspects of his character.
Talking about it like this, she had to stop wasting food, and only by doing this would she be able to keep up with his footsteps.
Zhou Yao ate the remaining bowl of rice very quickly. Leng Zhiyuan felt bad for him and asked, “The rice and dishes are all cold. Do you want me to ask someone to send you some hot soup?”
“No need.” Zhou Yao put the bowl and chopsticks down as he stood up. “It is the same whether there is soup or not. I do not have to have it…” As he spoke, he looked at her and said, “Have you showered already?”
He changed the subject too quickly. Leng Zhiyuan froze before she nodded her head and said, “Yeah, I took a shower already.”
He parted his long legs and headed towards the bathroom as he said, “I will go and wash up then. Wait for me in bed.”
Was he going to sleep right now?
That made sense. He’d eaten dinner and did not have any other things to do. He was going to sleep next. As she looked at him, it seemed that he lacked sleep, and in the past two days, he seemed very tired.
Leng Zhiyuan stretched her small hands out to pat her own face. Her face was already all red now because he had said wait for me in bed. She despised herself inside her heart very much. What was she thinking?
He did not have those thoughts at all. He had been in surgery only two days ago. He was a patient!
…
Leng Zhiyuan climbed into the bed. The bed was not too large, but it could fit two people comfortably. She’d just sat down on the bed when Zhou Yao walked out of the bathroom.
He washed his face, and his clean cut short hair was dripping with water as it fell down on his eyes. The black t-s.h.i.+rt was changed into a black sweater, and he just did two b.u.t.tons. Leng Zhiyuan had a glance, and in her eyes, as long as he removed his military uniform, he was unable to hide all of the bad aura that he had, and he also looked cool and charismatic at the same time.
Zhou Yao took a few steps forward and climbed into bed. Because of his weight, a large part of the bed sunk in. He threw the medicinal cream in his hands over to her and said, “Help me apply this medicine.”
He turned around and removed his black sweater.
“Oh,” Leng Zhiyuan answered before opening up the tube of cream. She looked at his back. The wounds that were overlapping one another already had scabs on them, and many already had marks on them, but he had too many wounds, and as she looked at him, she was shocked.
Leng Zhiyuan instantly felt bad for him. Her eyes were very hot. She put some medication on her hands and gently applied it to the wounds on his back. “What is the purpose of this medication?”
“Removing scars.”
“Removing scars?” There were so many wounds on his back and they might be left as scars in the future, but with his character…”When did you become so vain?”
“I am fine with it, but aren’t you scared when you see it?”
“What?”
“My body right now does not belong to me alone; it is also yours.”
Leng Zhiyuan froze and quickly understood what he was saying. He was afraid that she would feel scared and uncomfortable when she saw the scars on his body?
She clenched her fist as she hit him and said, “Be a little more proper!”
Zhou Yao nonchalantly raised his eyebrows before he turned around. He patted his chest and asked her to apply the front, “Being proper with my own wifey is no fun at all.”
Leng Zhiyuan’s face got red again. She was unable to win against him on such matters, so she did not say anything else and focused as she applied medication for him.
At this moment, her eyes went black. The man bent down and kissed her.
