When Yan Liqiang returned to his residence, the guy who delivered meals to him every day in the Deer Garden also came to the outside of the courtyard with a lunch box.
"Captain Yan..." Seeing Yan Liqiang coming, the waiter greeted Yan Liqiang with a smile on his face and handed him the lunch box, "Here is your lunch today..."
"Well, what's good to eat today?"
"Several seasonal side dishes, venison meatballs, and ginseng turtle stew, all carefully prepared by the chef in the kitchen!"
"Well, I've been a little tired from practicing these past few days. Ask the chef in the kitchen to make me a soup every day that will increase my blood and help my body recover..."
"Okay, I'll make a note of it..."
"Thank you..."
"Captain Yan, you are too polite..."
Yan Liqiang finished speaking calmly, smiled, reached out to take the lunch box, opened the door to his yard and walked in as usual. The guy who delivered the food stayed outside the yard and did not come in.
Yan Liqiang entered the room carrying a lunch box, then went up to the second floor, opened the bedroom door, and walked in.
A sharp sword suddenly appeared from behind the door and with a swish, it was placed on Yan Liqiang's neck.
Yan Liqiang knew it was Hua Ruxue without even looking, and there was no murderous aura on the sword, as if it was just the woman's instinct.
Hua Ruxue's face was still a little pale, but it was much better than last night. At least the hand holding the sword could remain steady. The moment he saw Hua Ruxue, Yan Liqiang's gaze involuntarily fell on Hua Ruxue.
The clothes Hua Ruxue was wearing at the moment were exactly Yan Liqiang's black training suit. Yan Liqiang was not thin, but rather muscular. However, the training suit was still too small for Hua Ruxue, not for any other reason, but because Hua Ruxue was a woman, and a very, very well-endowed woman. Hua Ruxue seemed to want to button up the two buttons on the collar of the training suit, but unfortunately, because the area below the collar was too large, she could only barely button up one of the two buttons on the collar of Yan Liqiang's training suit. As a result, the tight training suit made the lines below appear tighter, and the collar with one button open revealed a touch of snow-white underneath, which was very imaginative.
Usually, Hua Ruxue would use a belt to tightly bind the most magnificent part of her body when wearing a skirt. However, last night, her belt and clothes were burned by Yan Liqiang because they were stained with too much blood. Yan Liqiang also didn't have the kind of cloth she needed, so when Hua Ruxue woke up, she could only make do with it and reluctantly found a piece of Yan Liqiang's clothes to wear to cover her shame.
But in Yan Liqiang's eyes, Hua Ruxue looked even more pleasing to the eye.
Compared to the stunning and otherworldly Fairy Sword when they first met, Hua Ruxue at this moment has a more approachable feminine charm.
"Where are you looking..." Hua Ruxue also noticed that Yan Liqiang's eyes were looking at a certain part of her body. Her face immediately turned red. She raised the long sword in her hand, and the blade touched Yan Liqiang's neck.
"Hey, hey, hey, be careful, don't move your hands..." Yan Liqiang raised his chin and shouted, "I'm just looking at my clothes, is that wrong? The clothes you are wearing are mine, they have been with me for several years, and I have developed feelings for them. I haven't blamed you for touching my things, but you blame me instead. How can this be justified..."
“Last night… was it… was it you… who… bandaged my wound…” Hua Ruxue’s cheeks turned red, and the hand holding the sword began to tremble. She used a lot of strength to ask this question.
In fact, Hua Ruxue had just woken up for less than half an hour. When she woke up, she found herself lying on the bed, covered with a quilt, but her upper body was naked under the quilt. Moreover, the wound in the private part of her chest had been carefully treated and bandaged in a very special way. Apart from that, the rest of her body was intact. This discovery made Hua Ruxue feel mixed emotions. She didn't know whether to be relieved or ashamed.
"I'm the only one here. Apart from me, do you think there is anyone else in the whole Deer Garden who would be so kind as to bandage your wound?" Yan Liqiang glanced at Hua Ruxue, then stretched out two fingers and gently moved the long sword on his neck away. Hua Ruxue's hands had no strength at all, and the long sword was moved away by Yan Liqiang lightly. "If others saw you appearing in Deer Garden in a nightgown, they would have arrested you long ago, no matter whether you were a man or a woman. You are either in prison or have died of excessive blood loss. How can you point a sword at your savior..."
Yan Liqiang said, without looking at Hua Ruxue anymore, he walked directly to a table in the bedroom and put down the lunch box, "Don't just stand there, come and eat something, your body can only recover if you eat. You lost too much blood last night, so I only had time to give you one Yang Yuan Pill, pills alone won't do..." As he spoke, he had already opened the lunch boxes and took down layer by layer. The room was immediately filled with fragrance.
"You... why are you helping me?" Hua Ruxue had lowered the sword in her hand. She walked over and asked Yan Liqiang with a complicated expression.
"Can you put down the sword in your hand first? I feel like I'm being tortured when you talk to me with the sword in your hand..."
Hua Ruxue put the sword back into the scabbard.
"The fact that you could still think of seeking refuge with me in the situation yesterday at least shows that I am not a bad person in your heart. In that case, I can't destroy my own reputation and betray your trust, right?" Yan Liqiang smiled and blinked at Hua Ruxue.
"I will definitely repay you for saving my life, but last night... you'd better forget everything that happened last night, just pretend nothing happened!" Hua Ruxue said to Yan Liqiang while biting her lip.
"Hahaha, don't worry, I have a bad memory. If you don't tell me, I won't remember what happened last night!" Yan Liqiang knew that women like Hua Ruxue were young, so he laughed and gave this woman a way out. "Just rest and recuperate here for the next two days. The place where I live is quite remote in the Deer Garden. No one comes here on weekdays, let alone outsiders. Without my permission, the servants in the Deer Garden dare not easily enter the yard. Wait until you are well and can leave by yourself!"
"Don't you want to know what I did last night? Aren't you afraid that I will implicate you?"
"I heard that Sato, the Minister of Works in the Imperial Capital, was assassinated last night, but I'm not familiar with him, and I didn't see what the murderer looked like. I don't even know if the murderer is a man or a woman, a human or a monster. Moreover, I'm the Eagle Captain of the Imperial Horse and Infantry Division, and it's not my turn to deal with such matters. So the death of an official in the Imperial Capital has nothing to do with me! I don't know how you can implicate me?" Yan Liqiang said carelessly, and poured a bowl of stone ginseng and turtle stew and pushed it in front of Hua Ruxue, "Sit down and eat. Try this first. The chefs here in Luyuan are good. There is only one set of bowls and chopsticks here. You use it first, and I'll go find a pair of chopsticks..."
After saying that, Yan Liqiang went downstairs, and after a while he came back up with a pair of chopsticks that he had carved out of tree branches in the yard.
"Eat, why don't you start!" Yan Liqiang said, and took the lid covering the big bowl of stew. He just flipped the lid over and used it as a bowl, then started to eat. "I've been training in the back mountain for the whole morning, and I'm starving. I won't be polite with you..."
Seeing Yan Liqiang start eating, Hua Ruxue looked at the soup in front of her, then picked up the spoon, scooped a small spoonful and put it in her mouth.
Hua Ruxue didn't eat much. After drinking a small bowl of soup, she stopped moving. All the remaining food was eaten up by Yan Liqiang.
After the meal, the atmosphere in the room became much more harmonious.
"Can you...can you go to Imperial Capital City and buy me two pieces of clothing that I can wear?" After dinner, Hua Ruxue's complexion recovered a little, and then she made a request to Yan Liqiang with a little embarrassment.
Yan Liqiang glanced at Hua Ruxue, swallowed quietly again, and then said seriously, "Ahem... well... I have to ask Eunuch Liu for leave before leaving Luyuan. I've already asked for leave yesterday, so I'm afraid I won't be able to leave again in the next ten days or half a month. There are some maids in Luyuan, but I want someone to find me some maid clothes, otherwise I'll be exposed. Anyway, you won't be going out these few days, so just stay in this room and recuperate. Just make do with it for now!"
Hua Ruxue had no idea that Yan Liqiang was doing something bad. When she heard Yan Liqiang say this, she thought that this was the real situation.
But Yan Liqiang found that he was too happy too soon, because just after finishing his meal, he had just sent the lunch box downstairs to the waiter waiting outside the yard to take it away. When he returned to the second floor, he found that the door of his bedroom had been closed...
Hua Ruxue's voice came from inside, "We are different in genders. I will stay in this room for a few days. There is a bed in the next room, so you can sleep there. I will be in seclusion these days to heal my wounds. Only one meal a day will be enough. When I am in seclusion, please do not enter my room at will, lest you be injured by my sword..."
Is the opportunity to feast your eyes at any time gone
Yan Liqiang was stunned for a moment, then he rubbed his hands and laughed helplessly, then returned to his room to continue his practice and strengthening of Yijing Xisui...
Just like that, Hua Ruxue settled down in Yan Liqiang's yard...
At night, listening to the sound of water washing and wiping the body from the next room, the fifteen-year-old Yan Liqiang's heart, which had always been calm, became a little restless for the first time...
