After returning to the General's Mansion, Lin Banxia picked up her backpack and was about to get out of the car, but she remembered something and silently returned to the couch. After He Ruochen got off the carriage, she followed him.
He held the carriage with his hand and carefully stepped down the steps. Just as he was about to take his hand back, He Ruojin held it again.
He Ruojin didn't grab her wrist this time, but held the back of half of her hand, pressing her fingertips, and an unknown warmth spread. Lin Banxia wanted to pull his hand back like an electric shock, but heard He Ruochen frowned and asked, "What happened to your finger?"
Lin Banxia's fingers were simply bandaged, and she didn't know what kind of injuries she suffered.
Lin Banxia used a little force to pull her hand back from his and whispered, "It's nothing."
Then he didn't care about waiting for him and went to the mansion first.
Lin Banxia returned to the room, although she couldn't tell what she was hiding from.
But not long after, the door was gently pushed open, and He Ruochen walked in, put the prepared bottles of ointment on the table, opened her mouth, and said unnaturally: "These... are all. Ointment for burns.”
Hearing this, Lin Banxia's eyelashes trembled slightly, as if she didn't understand how He Ruoxin knew that her finger was burned. After all, she never told anyone.
He Ruochen paused and then continued, "I asked the housekeeper and he said you were burned while cooking yesterday..."
Lin Banxia slowly lowered her eyes and nodded: "Thank you, husband."
He Ruojin waited for a long time, but when she saw that she was still indifferent, she finally spoke: "Do you want me to apply medicine for you?"
How could Lin Banxia dare to force him? She shook her head and said, "I can do it myself."
Seeing this, He Ruojin didn't insist anymore and said "hmm", "Then I'll go to the bookstore first."
Lin Banxia nodded lightly.
After He Ruojin left, Lin Banxia picked up the bottles of ointment he gave him, looked at each bottle carefully, took one bottle, and carefully put the remaining bottles into the grid. .
That night, after Lin Banxia took a bath, she didn't make the bed for He Ruochen to come back and sleep with her like last time. She didn't ask for trouble anymore and put the other bed that had been hidden in the closet. The quilt was taken out again, and the bed was made, leaving enough bed space for He Ruochen. Although she didn't know if he would come back to sleep, she rolled up her own quilt and lay down on her side against the wall.
He Ruojin actually didn't stay in the library for long before he returned to his room. He thought about how Lin Banxia had been sitting by the bed waiting for him for a long time in order to wait for him to return to his room last time. In addition, he had asked her to wait yesterday. After a whole day, He Ruoxin couldn't bear to be kept waiting any longer, so she quickly went back.
But what he didn't expect was that when he returned to the room, Lin Banxia was already lying down on the bed. She only occupied the innermost space of such a large bed. She rolled up the bed and turned her back to him, only exposing her body. He moved his head, and on the other side, a large space was made for him, and a new bed quilt was carried for him.
Obviously, Lin Banxia said last time that there was no new bed quilt.
He Ruochen stood by the bed for a long time, and finally said nothing. He turned sideways and took off his clothes without saying a word. Probably because he was afraid of disturbing others, he deliberately moved softly when he lay down.
He lay on the bed, slowly turned his head over, and looked down at the back of Lin Banxia's head on the pillow in silence. After waiting for a long time, he couldn't help but call out softly, "Lin Banxia."
Lin Banxia still turned her back to him and did not move.
He Ruojin didn't wait for Lin Banxia to respond, and finally didn't say anything anymore, and had to slowly close her eyes.
The next day, what was rare was that the two of them woke up almost at the same time—
At that time, Lin Banxia was still asleep, and suddenly she felt something heavy falling on her waist. Lin Banxia was a light sleeper, and after a while, she frowned and woke up. With sleepy eyes, she dimly saw He Ruojin's face very close to hers. They were almost sleeping on the same pillow, and He Ruojin put his arm on her waist.
Lin Banxia's cheeks felt hot, she frowned and reached out to move his hand away. At the same time, He Ruojin also opened her eyes and woke up.
Lin Banxia sat up from the bed. She was still wearing a thin nightgown. She might have accidentally pulled it while sleeping. When she stood up, the thin sleeves slipped halfway from her white shoulders, which happened to be touched by He. Ruojin bumped into her eyes, Lin Banxia's ears turned red, and she hurriedly pulled up her sleeves. She wanted to get out of bed, but she didn't dare to step over him.
He Ruojin seemed not used to waking up and lying on the same bed with Lin Banxia, and he accidentally saw her dress slipping down just now, and He Ruojin immediately sat up from the bed.
Lin Banxia didn't care to talk to him anymore. She got out of bed beside him in such a panic and went to the screen to change clothes.
After waiting for a long time, Lin Banxia changed into neat clothes and walked out of the screen.
At that time, the panic on Lin Banxia's face had disappeared, and she returned to her original calm and gentle appearance.
He Ruojin looked at her for a while, and when Lin Banxia brought his robe over, he came back to his senses, responded lightly, took it from her hand, stood up and went to change clothes.
When he had changed and came out, Lin Banxia brought a basin of hot water over to wash his face as usual, then went back to the back room to find a warm cloak and came out, holding him in her arms while waiting for him to wash his face, and said, "Just went out." I took a moment and realized that it’s quite cold outside today. My husband, please put this on after a while.”
He Ruojin wiped her face, turned her head and looked at her, without saying anything, she just took the cloak and put it on.
The two had breakfast together quietly as always. Afterwards, Lin Banxia went back to her room, picked up her backpack and headed to the academy. He Ruojin called her, and Lin Banxia had to stop and wait for him to speak.
"I'll give it to you." He Ruojin said.
Lin Banxia calmed down for a while, then said "Oh" and went back to the house to get her backpack.
She rarely walked faster, probably because she was afraid that He Ruochen would wait for her outside for a while.
After arriving at the academy, Lin Banxia watched He Ruoxin's carriage go away, and then slowly walked into the academy.
In fact, I still feel a little bit in my heart.
After all, He Ruochen usually rode a horse to the military camp, but this time in order to see her off, he accommodated her by taking a carriage.
Although she also knew that this was just to compensate for her thoughts the day before.
However, Lin Banxia seemed to be quite coaxable and satisfied. If he was willing to get closer to her, her heart would be softer involuntarily.
Lin Banxia attended class seriously as usual. When he left the academy after school, he couldn't help but look around. As expected, he didn't see the carriage.
Lin Banxia didn't feel disappointed, she just looked away as usual, straightened the strap of her backpack, and walked forward slowly.
Until someone blocked the road in front of him, Lin Banxia slowly raised his head and saw the woman he saw in He Ruojin's military camp that day.
