Xiao Qingyin was stunned.

"Isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

If Yi Jiu said that, she definitely wouldn't hold back; what a pleasure it would be to be fed porridge by a beautiful woman.

I can even drink two more bowls of porridge.

Yi Shuihan was different.

The bronze mask on her face would give her the feeling of drinking Meng Po soup (a legendary soup that erases memories of the past).

"Let's leave it for now, I'll drink it later after a while."

Yi Shuihan could tell at a glance that she disliked him.

I was so angry I could have punched a nerve.

Could this woman's obsession with looks get any worse?!

They're starving and still being so picky.

I really wanted to just force-feed her the porridge.

With a cold expression, he scooped up a spoonful of porridge and brought it to her lips.

Xiao Qingyin looked up and saw that the man's eyes were full of unyielding authority, and sighed inwardly.

Oh well, I'll just have to make do for now.

She opened her mouth and drank it down.

Yi Shuihan immediately scooped out another spoonful.

The two of them, one feeding the other and the other drinking, silently finished off a large bowl of porridge.

After eating the hot porridge, Xiao Qingyin felt the chill in her body dissipate considerably.

Sleepiness washed over her, making it hard for her to keep her eyes open.

She sat down, leaned against the ginkgo tree behind her, and said to Yi Shuihan, "I'm going to take a nap. Wake me up in a quarter of an hour."

He fell asleep as soon as he closed his eyes.

Yi Shuihan had stayed up all night and was a little tired. After washing the bowl, she sat down by the tree opposite her, intending to take a short rest.

Before closing his eyes, he noticed that the woman opposite him was shivering and that she was dressed rather thinly.

He then took off his cloak and draped it over her shoulders.

The woman's tightly furrowed brows relaxed, her head tilted to the side, and she looked as if she was about to lose her support and wake up.

Yi Shuihan reached out and supported him.

After thinking for a moment, I sat down next to her, maintaining the side-supported posture, and slowly closed my eyes.

Xiao Qingyin had a dream in which gold fell from the sky and hit her with a clattering sound.

She grinned from ear to ear with joy.

That laugh woke me up.

I found myself wrapped in a familiar cloak, covered with golden ginkgo leaves.

A warm sensation came from my left cheek.

Looking to the side, she saw Yi Shuihan sleeping with his eyes closed beside her, his right hand supporting her face.

Even with his eyes closed and wearing a bronze mask, he appeared very gentle.

Xiao Qingyin was somewhat lost in thought.

This person has unusually long eyelashes.

Yi Shuihan was only in a light sleep, and soon realized that someone was watching him.

Upon opening her eyes, she met Xiao Qingyin's gaze and couldn't help but be slightly surprised.

"You woke up so quickly?"

He glanced at the soldiers washing dishes not far away; less than a quarter of an hour had passed.

“Hmm,” Xiao Qingyin nodded, a little wistful, “I had a wonderful dream, a brief period of sudden wealth, and then I woke up laughing.”

Yi Shuihan chuckled silently.

"That's a real shame."

"Who can argue with that?"

Xiao Qingyin sighed.

She stood up, picked up the cloak, shook off the leaves, and returned it to Yi Shuihan.

Yi Shuihan did not answer.

"I'm not cold, you can put this on first."

"Me too... Achoo!"

A gust of cold wind blew by, and Xiao Qingyin sneezed. Now it was hard to say she wasn't cold.

Thank you.

"You are welcome."

Yi Shuihan also stood up, about to gather the people to set off, when Xiao Qingyin suddenly exclaimed "Eh!"

What happened to your shoulder?

Yi Shuihan glanced at it from the side.

The fabric at the shoulders was somewhat dark and smelled of blood.

He brushed it aside and saw a small wound on his shoulder, bleeding profusely.

He laughed and said, "Maybe there was a nail on the roof beam that fell down when we were rescuing people, and it pricked me."

No wonder his shoulder had been aching; he had thought it was from the fall.

"nail?"

Xiao Qingyin's expression changed slightly.

"This is no small matter. Rusty nails can cause tetanus, so it's important to clean them thoroughly."

She opened her medical kit, gestured for Yi Shuihan to sit down, and knelt on the ground to treat his wounds.

The two were so close that they could feel each other's breath.

Looking at her focused profile, Yi Shuihan suddenly felt a damp, stifling heat in his heart.

It felt as if spring had arrived.

Every blink of her eyes planted a seed in his heart.

These seeds quietly took root and sprouted, and before we knew it, our hearts were filled with lush greenery.

He unconsciously slowed his breathing, afraid of breaking the tranquility of the moment.

"alright."

Xiao Qingyin applied the gauze.

"You need to apply the medicine every day, and the wound absolutely cannot get wet until it scabs over, understand?"

Yi Shuihan nodded.

Xiao Qingyin stopped, accidentally touching the mask's strap.

The tie was already a bit loose, and it broke when she touched it.

The bronze mask immediately slipped off.

Yi Shuihan quickly covered his mask, a hint of panic flashing in his eyes.

"sorry."

Xiao Qingyin apologized to him.

"I didn't mean to."

"I know."

Yi Shuihan silently tied the straps.

As Xiao Qingyin put the instruments back into the medical kit, she recalled the look in Yi Shuihan's eyes just now.

I felt that he seemed very afraid of being seen by others.

Is it because the disfigurement was so severe?

Although she wasn't a professional plastic surgeon, and the equipment was lacking in this era, with her medical skills, she could definitely do a complete makeover.

As long as Yi Shuihan's facial bones weren't completely shattered, she was confident she could help him restore his appearance.

Then he won't have to wear such a heavy mask all day long, and he won't have to be afraid of the mask falling off.

Thinking of this, Xiao Qingyin asked, "Can I see your face? If no bones are broken, I can help you restore it to its original appearance."
