Chapter 69: No physical contact between men and women
When the two returned to the inn, it was already dark.
They called themselves husband and wife, so they only asked for one room.
As soon as Xiao Ning returned to the house, he ordered a table full of delicious dishes.
Anyway, Her Royal Highness the Princess is rich!
The food in the village was not good, and Shang Xi had lost a lot of weight recently. When he heard Xiao Ning announce the dishes, he couldn't help swallowing his saliva.
As soon as the dish was served, Xiao Ning picked up his chopsticks.
He did not forget to greet Shang Xi, "Madam, come and eat!"
Shang Xi was also greedy, but his demeanor was ingrained in his bones.
With no one to serve him, he wiped the dishes himself, and took the ones in Xiao Ning's hand, lowered his eyes and wiped them.
Xiao Ning felt a little embarrassed and touched his nose.
"My wife is so meticulous..."
She looked like a savage.
Shang Xi handed the chopsticks to Xiao Ning, "Eat."
Xiao Ning agreed, "Madam, please go first."
Shang Xi didn't bother to be polite with her and started eating first.
The taste of the dishes was average, not as good as those in Shengjing, but they had been eating coarse grains and wild vegetables for the past few days, so eating these now was simply delicious.
Xiao Ning's cheeks were bulging from eating so much.
When he reached for the braised goose with his chopsticks, Shang Xi stopped him: "Your injury hasn't healed yet, you can't eat this."
Xiao Ning swallowed the food in his mouth, "...I'm almost healed now, eating a bite won't hurt."
She really wants to eat meat!
I've been widowed for so long that the taste of bird is almost gone from my mouth.
Shang Xi: "No."
Xiao Ning: “…”
Although she knew Shang Xi was doing this for her own good, Xiao Ning still couldn't help but glare at him.
His eyes were filled with resentment.
Shang Xi: “…”
It was rare to see Xiao Ning showing such an expression, and he found it a little funny.
Shang Xi stood up and served her a bowl of black chicken soup, and then picked up a few pieces of chicken and put them in the bowl.
"Eat this to replenish your blood and qi."
Xiao Ning took the bowl, said "thank you", lowered his head and scooped up the soup with a spoon to drink.
The princess's appetite is as big as ever.
There was a large table of food, and Xiao Ning ate one-third of it, while he ate almost two-thirds.
Xiao Ning propped up his cheek, looking puzzled. "You eat so much, why don't you gain weight?"
And although I don’t gain weight, I am still very heavy.
But I’d better not say this. Girls all care about their reputation and they will be unhappy if I say this.
Shang Xi: “…”
How should he respond?
Shang Xi ignored this topic and said to Xiao Ning, "I want to take a bath."
Xiao Ning nodded, "Okay, I'll ask the waiter to prepare a bathtub and hot water."
The tub was filled with hot water. The waiter wiped his sweat and said with a smile, "If there's not enough hot water, tell me later. I'll bring it up for you two!"
Xiao Ning smiled and nodded, "Thank you for the trouble."
"Well, you're welcome!"
The waiter left with the bucket.
Xiao Ning walked out of the room and closed the door without being reminded.
She didn't go far, just wandered around the room to make sure she was there when the princess called her.
When he was in the village, there were no conditions, so he could only carry a basin of water and scrub himself in the room. Shang Xi felt that he was almost dirty to death.
Shang Xi showered for almost half an hour before coming out refreshed.
Xiao Ning called the waiter to come and change the water, as she also wanted to take a bath.
Shang Xi said: "You are still injured, you can't get wet."
Xiao Ning: “…”
She's going to go bad...
"It's okay. I just need to be careful not to get any water on the wound."
The cut on her left hand had scabbed over and could be washed.
Seeing that she was determined to do so, Shang Xi stopped persuading her. When he was at Aunt Zhou's house, he would occasionally wash himself, but Xiao Ning almost never washed himself because of his injury, so he must be more uncomfortable than him.
Shang Xi went out and left the room to Xiao Ning.
Xiao Ning warned worriedly: "Don't go too far, be careful of being spotted."
Shang Xi: “…I understand.”
Xiao Ning soaked in the water and couldn't help but lean against the wall of the tub with comfort and let out a long sigh.
She propped her injured arm up on the edge of the bucket.
The wounds on the sides of the waist and thighs have scabbed off, and the newly grown skin is pink, tender and delicate.
Xiao Ning's hands were not convenient, so he simply washed them and called it a day.
After getting dressed and going out, Shang Xi stood at the handrail in front of the room, put his hands on the wooden guardrail, and looked down.
The first floor is the inn lobby, where groups of people are sitting at tables eating.
Hearing the door open, Shang Xi turned around and saw Xiao Ning coming out wiping his hair.
When her hair was let down, her sharp brows were hidden.
Shang Xi was distracted for a moment.
"What are you daydreaming about? Go back to the house. I'll call the waiter to clean up."
Xiao Ning walked up to him and shook the handkerchief in his hand. A faint scent of soapberry drifted into his nostrils.
Shang Xi subconsciously took two steps back to create some distance.
"Yeah, okay."
He responded and went back to his room.
Xiao Ning strolled downstairs and called the waiter to come up and fetch some water.
The room was tidied up quickly.
Xiao Ning looked at the big bed in the room and said to Shang Xi, "You sleep on the bed, I'll sleep on the floor."
"No need..." Shang Xi stopped him, "It's not like we haven't slept in the same bed before. The weather is getting colder and you're injured, so you should stop messing around."
Xiao Ning thought about it and agreed. They had been sleeping like this at Aunt Zhou's house a few days ago.
After Shang Xi got into bed, Xiao Ning blew out the light, took off his coat and shoes, and lay down on the side.
One person thinks: It’s nothing since they are all women.
One person thinks: Although the other person is gay, it’s nothing as he thinks I’m a woman.
So the two of them slept peacefully.
…
Yuan Shao sent a message saying that it would take two days to get the travel permit and household registration documents.
Since everyone was free, Shang Xi wanted to go out and take a look.
After all, he had hardly ever left Shengjing since he was a child, and the farthest place he had been to was the enclosure.
"Then go out and take a look. I'll accompany you."
Xiao Ning said.
Shang Xi nodded, a smile on his lips.
After they had packed up, they went out together.
The small county town is far less prosperous than Shengjing City, and its streets are not as clean and tidy as Shengjing City. Market stalls are lined up on the streets, which looks messy, but it still has a sense of homeliness.
After surviving the life-and-death crisis, Xiao Ning's injuries gradually improved.
Shang Xi felt relaxed and found everything interesting.
"What's that over there? There are so many people."
Shang Xi asked.
Xiao Ning looked in the direction he pointed, "There are too many people, I can't see clearly."
Shang Xi: "Then let's go over and take a look?"
It was rare for Xiao Ning to see the princess show such a lively side, so he naturally agreed: "Okay."
She naturally took Shang Xi's hand and walked over there.
Shang Xi: “…”
He pulled his hand back awkwardly.
Xiao Ning turned around, and Shang Xi said, "Men and women should not touch each other."
Xiao Ning: “…”
They've slept in the same bed before, but men and women are still not allowed to touch each other?
Never mind, a princess should be pampered.
Whatever he says is what it is.
Xiao Ning said, "Hold on to my clothes tightly. Be careful not to get separated by the crowd and get caught and sold by bad guys."
Shang Xi: “…”
That’s not the case.
However, Shang Xi still grabbed Xiao Ning's clothes and squeezed over there behind her.
It turned out to be an old man carving a wood sculpture.
The carving is so lifelike that even the character's every frown and smile is conveyed on the wood by the carving knife.
Not to mention the carved kittens and puppies, their expressions are lifelike and adorable.
A child clamored for his family to buy it for him.
The elder slapped him on the butt and said, "Buy everything! Why do you want everything?"
