Because of Cen Ning's return, we all ate together tonight. Aunt Chen was busy in the kitchen, and Cen Ning was there to help her.
"Okay, okay, you go out and rest, I can do it by myself." Aunt Chen smiled.
Cen Ning was washing vegetables at the side: "It's okay, Aunt Chen, anyway, I'm idle, I can still learn how to cook when I stay here."
Aunt Chen: "You—"
"It's finished." Cen Ning put the green vegetables on the chopping board, "Do you need to cut them?"
"This..." Aunt Chen was about to speak when she heard the sound of a car outside, she looked out the window, "Did Xingzhi come back?"
Cen Ning also followed her gaze to the window, and indeed saw the tail of a car passing by.
Aunt Chen: "Go out and see if it works, I'll do it."
Cen Ning nodded this time and obediently agreed.
Hearing the sound of the car turning off at the door, Cen Ning took out a piece of paper and walked forward while wiping his hands.
Ding dong—
The doorbell rang, and Cen Ning trotted a few steps and opened the door.
The setting sun was about to set, and the moment the door was opened, a dim yellow light flooded in. Cen Ning looked up, only to see a person standing tall and straight against the light at the door.
"I forgot my key," he said.
Cen Ning was stunned for a moment, then moved his body to make way for him, so the person outside the door stepped in.
He passed her by, it was already spring, but Cen Ning could smell the bleak winter wind.
She began to look at him calmly. He probably came back from the army. He was wearing a dark green military uniform, and he was obviously more handsome.
The military trousers wrapped both legs, slender and straight, which inexplicably made people see the taste of taboo. Moving up, there is a manly back and shoulders, with horizontal bars and five-pointed stars on the shoulders...
"Where's the medicine box at home?" Yan Xingzhi suddenly turned his head, Cen Ning was startled, and immediately turned his eyes away.
Words and deeds: "..."
After turning his back on him, Cen Ning was in a daze for a while, was she guilty of guilt
Words and deeds: "Cen Ning?"
"Ah! Chen, Aunt Chen put it in the study! I'll get it for you!" Cen Ning ran to the study without even looking at him.
Finally arrived at the study room, blocking the sight of words and deeds, Cen Ning tried the temperature of his cheeks with the back of his hand a little annoyed, but it was just to see that he was wearing a military uniform, it's not like he hasn't seen it before, why is he blushing...
Cen Ning silently put her face on the cabinet in the study room to cool down for a while, and when the heat on her face finally subsided, she slowly walked out with the medicine box.
"Give."
Words and deeds took over: "Thank you."
"What do you need the medicine box for?" Cen Ning frowned, "Are you injured?"
Words and deeds reached out and patted her on the head: "It's okay."
Cen Ning immediately said, "Where are you injured?"
Words and deeds curled his lips lightly, did not answer this question, but suddenly said: "Have you got a boyfriend?"
The worried expression on Cen Ning's face suddenly froze, and his face twisted between the two terrible things of "he got hurt" and "I got a boyfriend", and then he uttered a single-syllable word embarrassingly: "Ah ?”
Wei Wei raised his eyebrows: "That night?"
Cen Ning subconsciously blurted out: "No!"
But as soon as the last word was uttered, she felt that her reaction was a bit extreme, and she also hoped that he would know that she would no longer be his "unwilling promise".
So after thinking for a while, he whispered again: "Not yet."
No no, yes or no.
Senior brother Xia Yi was very kind to her, and she tried to open her heart...
"Oh." The words and deeds looked down at the girl with a slightly red face, his heart twitched strangely, he frowned, turned and went upstairs.
Cen Ning looked at his disappearing back, and found with some melancholy that he hadn't answered where he was injured.
"Ningning, is it okay?" After a while, Aunt Chen stuck her head out from the kitchen.
Cen Ning nodded: "Yes."
"What about others?"
"Room."
"What are you doing, go to your room as soon as you get back."
"I don't know." Cen Ning hesitated and said, "I took the medicine box away."
"Oh, the medicine box, is there something bumped and bumped, they are often injured." Aunt Chen hurried back to look at Tang, "Ningning, go and see if it's serious, this child won't say a word. "
"okay."
Cen Ning went upstairs and knocked on the door of the room.
After a while, a voice came from inside: "Come in."
Cen Ning got permission and pushed the door open, but she didn't expect to see a scene that made her panic as soon as she entered.
She gasped, and quickly turned her back on words and deeds again.
"What are you doing?" Yan Xingzhi sat on the edge of the bed, looking at her with a half-smile.
Cen Ningjiong's ears were red: "I, I... Aunt Chen asked me to see if your injury is serious."
"fine."
"That's good, I'll go first!"
"etc."
Cen Ning froze on the doorknob.
"Come here and help me apply the medicine." Words and deeds looked at Cen Ning's red ears, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "It's inconvenient for me at the position behind the shoulders."
Cen Ning: "..."
It was a quick glance just now, but Cen Ning still saw it clearly. He took off his military jacket, revealing the military-style light green shirt underneath. But the shirt was not worn properly at this time, all the buttons were unbuttoned, and the tie was pulled aside.
He took off one sleeve, half of his body was naked. exposed.
The more Cen Ning thought about it, the more she blushed. She took a deep breath and tried her best not to be so worthless.
"What are you still doing, come here."
"oh… "
In the end, he turned his head back, and Cen Ning walked to the bed without looking sideways, only staring at the medicine box beside the bed: "Which one do you use?"
Words and deeds raised the medicine on his hand: "This, rub it on."
"Um."
Cen Ning calmed down and looked at the injury on the upper right side of his back.
At first glance, it is unavoidable to be shocking.
It was bruised and slightly purple. Cen Ning suspected that most people would not be able to lift their hands if their backs were hit like this, but he was like a normal person from the beginning to the end, without frowning.
"It's so serious? Don't you need to see a doctor?" Cen Ning didn't care about being shy anymore, and his voice became serious.
"It's not that serious, it just looks scary."
"But… "
"It's okay, just apply the medicine."
His tone was as calm as "It's raining, bring an umbrella."
Cen Ning had no choice but to shut his mouth, poured the potion into his hands, clasped his palms together to warm his palms, and then pressed them carefully on his back.
The warm palms were attached to his back, and the delicate skin passed through his wounds through negligibly thin liquid medicine. The slight pressure made his shoulders sore and painful, but compared to this, the weird sense of comfort was even more prominent .
He could feel the movement of her small palm, very careful and soft. Let an indescribable feeling spread from the wound, this feeling is not abrupt, but it quickly occupies the limbs and bones.
His words and deeds froze, and he suddenly regretted asking Cen Ning to apply the medicine on him.
Cen Ning massaged without distraction, and immediately withdrew his hand when he felt his skin tighten, "Does it hurt?!"
Looking sideways at her words and deeds, she saw her eyes slightly widened in panic.
I don't know why, Yan Xingzhi suddenly remembered the fight between him and Xu Nanru many years ago, when the corner of his mouth was beaten black, she seemed to be so careful to massage him with eggs.
Over the years, her eyes still haven't changed, the clear and clear concern can't find any hypocrisy.
His words and deeds softened: "It doesn't hurt."
"Then, let me take it easy."
"Um."
In fact, it was light enough, and even his words and deeds doubted whether he could still feel her presence, but at this time he had no interest in talking about it, and just quietly let her toss behind her back.
A few minutes later, Cen Ning closed the lid and said with satisfaction, "It's done."
"Um."
"How did you get this injury?"
Standing up in words and deeds: "Training in the camp today, I accidentally bumped into it."
"Oh, eh—" Cen Ning suddenly grabbed his shirt.
Yan Zhizhi originally wanted to go to the closet to get a t-shirt to change into, but now his half-undressed shirt was pulled in his hand, and he couldn't move for a while.
He turned his head and looked at Cen Ning with a questioning expression.
Cen Ning: "..."
This posture was a bit strange, as if she was ripping off his clothes.
Cen Ning felt ashamed for a moment, but he still couldn't resist his curiosity.
"That scar over there is..."
Just now when he got up, his clothes shook, and Cen Ning happened to see a scar on the other half of his left abdomen. This scar... looked like a hole healed.
"Where are you aiming? Eyes so sharp?" Words and deeds suddenly smiled, very short, but enough to embarrass Cen Ning and want to dig a hole.
"No... I accidentally saw it."
He didn't say anything, just when Cen Ning thought he wouldn't answer, he said slowly: "Shot wound."
Cen Ning suddenly raised his eyes.
"Don't tell them." His words and deeds were serious and casual, "Do you know?"
"Well...but why did you have a gunshot wound?"
Her words and deeds seemed to be amused by her again: "The soldier is not injured at all, is it plausible?"
Cen Ning: "..."
Afterwards, Cen Ning went downstairs, and at dinner time, the whole family ate together. Yan Xingyao pestered Yan Xingzhi to ask about the military camp, but Xing Xingzhi answered them without a word.
Normally, Yan Guofeng would definitely reprimand Yan Xingyao for his remarks like "no words, no sleep, no words", but this time he didn't say anything, probably because he also wanted to know that this uncontrollable The little things about the eldest grandson.
After the weekend, Cen Ning went back to school.
That night, Cen Ning went to the photography club to participate in the weekly activities as usual. After the event, the members discussed in the classroom where to go for team building this month.
Cen Ning has always followed the masses, she will not be so out of touch with others that she will not go out with everyone, nor will she rush to give advice on where to go.
"Cen Ning." Xia Yi sat next to her, "Where do you want to go? Is there anything you want to eat in particular?"
Cen Ning shook his head: "Let everyone decide."
Xia Yi: "It doesn't matter. If you have any opinions, you can raise them. If you say what you want to eat, I will vote for you."
"Ouch, senior brother, you are so biased. I want to eat seafood buffet, why don't you vote for me." A member of the club next to him walked between the two with ambiguous eyes.
Xia Yi glanced at him, and laughed and cursed: "Fuck you."
"It's too much!"
Cen Ning smiled to hide his discomfort: "Xiaofeng, I vote for you."
A member named Xiaofeng patted the table: "I see no senior brother! This is a good member!"
Xia Yi laughed, turned his head and whispered: "Do you really want to eat seafood for yourself?"
Cen Ning: "Very good."
"That's fine." Xia Yi stood up and joined the discussion, "Hey, I'll buy seafood buffet, I know there's one that's particularly delicious, shall we go there?"
