It's just that He Ruojin was a military general after all, and he was afraid that any clumsy move would hurt her, so even though he was subconsciously careful, he couldn't help but ask her if it hurt after applying the medicine for a while.
Lin Banxia would give him a short two-word answer every time: "It doesn't hurt."
But even so, He Ruojin still had to ask. Even if he kept repeating this question, he was worried that one time he would really hurt her.
But when He Ruojin asked her this question again, Lin Banxia's answer finally added a few more words. She said calmly: "General, it really doesn't hurt. It has stopped hurting a long time ago."
When the pain was very severe, she had cried hysterically and shed tears.
It's really... the pain has stopped for a long time.
She didn't lie to He Ruojin.
But after hearing her words, He Ruojin felt as if he was in a long gloomy night, closed by everything outside, so he was so depressed that even breathing became slightly difficult.
Just this sentence...
It no longer hurts.
How much pain and hurt he had to endure, how much blood and tears had to be shed, and how to put the heart that had been broken to pieces by him back together again before I could say it so calmly.
Only then could she tell him that she no longer felt any pain.
He Ruojin had never felt her pain, but would rather suffer it for her.
He was afraid of causing her pain again, so General He, who was feared on the battlefield, was so careful when applying medicine. Even if Lin Banxia told him that it didn't hurt, he didn't dare to exert any force.
Finally, He Ruojin applied the medicine on her and put on new gauze, but he still moved gently and carefully.
In fact, Lin Banxia didn't feel any pain during the whole process. She just turned her head and looked away calmly. She seemed to have been thinking for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out, so she had to ask softly: "General, what's the use of doing this?" ?”
She paused and came to a conclusion calmly and gently: "We have reconciled."
"The general said that Heli Shu has not yet been implemented from the tribes, but it will be implemented one day."
"No matter how much we try to make up for it, this marriage has already broken down."
Lin Banxia finished these words slowly and lowered his head.
There was still no sadness on her face, she just finished speaking, so she fell silent.
So, He Ruojin listened quietly to what she said. He remained silent and did not speak immediately. His hands were still moving to help her wrap the gauze on her legs. After tying it, he lowered his hands from her legs. , slowly landed on her slender ankle, he squeezed it gently, and felt that Lin Banxia had the intention to struggle, so he did not dare to go overboard, he just held her ankle and put it back on the bed, covering her up. After taking off the quilt, he finally raised his eyes and looked at Lin Banxia very seriously. He didn't care whether she was looking at him or not, but he still looked at her. He said seriously and in a low voice -
"Lin Banxia, I don't know what the use of doing this is, but if I don't do this, I will feel even worse."
"You don't have to worry about me." He Ruojin said, feeling that his lips were a little dry. He pursed his thin lips and continued slowly, "I mean, you don't have to worry about what I do. Even if you ignore me, you don't have to worry about me." It doesn’t matter, I want to be nice to you, and I shouldn’t break the laws of your Dali Temple.”
When Lin Banxia heard what he said, the fingers of her two little hands placed inside the quilt were clenched and intertwined. She still lowered her head and remained silent, saying nothing.
