As night falls, the soft candlelight sways gently by the kitchen window frame, casting mottled light and shadows, adding a bit of warmth to this cozy scene.

Jiang Yushan's figure is busy and elegant in the interweaving of light and shadow. Her movements are swift yet delicate, as if she is performing a silent dance, turning the ingredients into delicacies on the plate one by one.

The fragrance that gradually permeates the air is the smell of home and the comfort of returning home.

Soon, a table full of delicious dishes appeared before our eyes, steaming hot, fragrant and mouth-watering.

"I'll take it." Seeing Jiang Yushan turning around with the plate in her hand, Huo Ci immediately went over to her, took the plate from her hand, and said softly, "Thank you for your hard work, Shanshan."

The two worked together to put the dishes on the table one by one. Although the dishes were not as numerous as expected, each one was made with care and love, enough to make any picky taste buds fall for it.

Huo Ci looked at the table full of delicious food, feeling mixed emotions. He was grateful for Jiang Yushan's hard work, but also felt guilty for not returning for so long.

"Okay, let's eat!"

Jiang Yushan urged, saying that they had just gone to the clinic to treat their wounds, which had already wasted time, and now this meal could be called a midnight snack.

"Why so many?" Huo Ci looked at the many dishes and felt sorry for Jiang Yushan, who must have been busy since the afternoon.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yushan curled up the corners of his mouth into a smile.

"You've been away from home for so long, going through wind and rain, so I always wanted to make sure you had a hot meal as soon as you came back, and to nourish your body." As she spoke, she naturally picked up a piece of tempting dish and gently placed it in Huo Ci's bowl, "Eat it."

Huo Ci didn't have much good food to eat when he was on a mission outside. Jiang Yushan felt that being a soldier was not easy just thinking about it. So at least he could have a good meal at home, right?

"Okay." He picked up the chopsticks and tasted it carefully.

I have to say, my wife’s cooking skills are really good!

He felt particularly satisfied after eating, as it was not only an enjoyment for his taste buds but also a comfort to his soul.

After dinner, Huo Ci cleaned up the used dishes and wanted to take them to the kitchen to wash.

When he was at home, he was always responsible for washing dishes. Although he was away from home for a few days, he did not forget this habit.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Jiang Yushan saw him taking a bowl to the kitchen and about to turn on the faucet, so he quickly pulled him back.

"do the washing up."

Huo Ci's answer was as it should be.

"Your hand is still injured and you can't touch water. Let me wash it." Jiang Yushan hurriedly pushed him out of the kitchen and stopped Huo Ci from washing it.

"My injury..."

"Don't say it's not serious. The military doctor told you not to touch water."

Before Huo Ci could finish speaking, Jiang Yushan interrupted him directly. He could guess what he wanted to say.

“…”

Seeing Jiang Yushan's firm attitude, Huo Ci had no choice but to watch Jiang Yushan clean up the dishes and go to the kitchen.

Huo Ci came to the kitchen again after a while, wanting to get some hot water to take a shower in the bathroom.

When we were on missions in the Paracel Islands before, things were not so sophisticated. We just took a cold shower and that was it. Sometimes we couldn't even wash ourselves.

But now that he was back and would sleep with Jiang Yushan at night, Huo Ci still wanted to wash himself cleanly so that she wouldn't dislike him.

"What are you going to do now?" Jiang Yushan noticed the action and asked vigilantly.

The military doctor had told Huo Ci not to touch water, so she had always been very careful and paid special attention to any behavior involving water.

"I want to take a shower." Huo Ci explained.

"Where are your ears? Didn't I tell you that you can't touch water now? You have to wait a few days before washing them!" Jiang Yushan rolled his eyes at him and refused without hesitation.

"No..." But Huo Ci was unwilling: "I'm dirty and covered in mud. If I don't wash it clean, the sheets will get dirty."

He could even smell the odor on his body. He refused to agree to sleep with Jiang Yushan like this no matter what.

"It's okay if it gets dirty. We can just wash it clean later," Jiang Yushan didn't care about it. "Besides, I don't mind."

Bed sheets and other things, just wash them if they get dirty, what’s the big deal?

Does Huo Ci’s injury matter on the bed sheet?

Huo Ci felt helpless.

After all, the injury was not sustained today, and it had been washed before. The wound was fine and not infected.

"Then...how about you help me wash it? As long as you are careful and avoid the wound, there should be no problem." After thinking for a while, Huo Ci suddenly proposed to Jiang Yushan.

Anyway, he said he would take a bath today no matter what!

"Can't it be a few days later..."

"cannot!"

"Do you really have to take this bath?"

"yes!"

Jiang Yushan: “…”

Seeing how stubborn he was about taking a shower, Jiang Yushan felt helpless and could only agree after thinking about it.

When Huo Ci held her in his arms before, she did smell quite smelly. If she washed herself a little...it would be more comfortable to sleep.

"Okay, then I'll help you wash." Jiang Yushan walked towards the bathroom with water.

Huo Ci was behind her, the corners of his mouth slowly rising.

Taking into account the injuries on Huo Ci's body, Jiang Yushan added some spiritual spring water into the bath water, so that even if the wound was accidentally touched, it would not get infected.

Huo Ci came in with clothes after a while, and his clothes had already been taken off.

His strong muscles were clearly visible, and his lines were so smooth that they looked like they were carved. He just sat in front of her, and her hormones seemed to explode in the bathroom.
