"Niannian~" The lowered voice was soft and tender.
My heart seemed to be touched by his coquettish touch.
Li Nian raised her face, and when she raised her eyes, she met his burning gaze full of expectation, and her heart seemed to be hit by something.
"Hmm? What's wrong?"
Xiao Yunyu was looked at with doubt in her sparkling eyes, and the words that were about to rise in his throat suddenly stopped.
The other hand hanging by his side couldn't help but tighten, and his fingers trembled slightly as if unable to suppress the surging thoughts in his heart.
Li Nian had just finished asking when he covered his eyes with his large hands. A low, magnetic voice above him said casually, "Nothing, just... I'm in a good mood."
Li Nian didn’t understand. How could he be in a good mood even though his hands were burned?
Or was it that he was in a good mood because he felt that he had successfully cooked the fish soup and had a sense of accomplishment?
Oh, she understood, she often did that.
"Then why did you cover my eyes?" Li Nian pulled off Xiao Yunyu's hands with both hands.
Xiao Yunyu turned his gaze away from her, fearing that if he continued to look at her, he would really not be able to control himself and do something to make his wife angry.
"Well, I'll go watch the pot." Xiao Yunyu turned around in embarrassment, and with a few steps of his long legs, he reached the stove.
Li Nian saw that he was impatient and seemed quite responsible.
Li Nian turned around and prepared to go to her room to get the burn medicine. As soon as she walked out of the kitchen, she saw Xiaobai walking towards her in a hurry.
Seeing Li Nian, Xiaobai hurriedly said, “Miss Shen has been found.”
Li Nian was delighted when she heard this: "Great! Where's she? Has she been sent home?"
“In the yamen, when our people rescued Miss Shen, they brought back someone by the way.”
Li Nian saw that he was hesitant to speak, and it seemed that there was some bad news. She couldn't help but ask with some concern, "Did something happen to Bai Ying?"
Xiaobai nodded: "Miss Shen was not in a good condition when she was found. Now her brother and mother are with her in the yamen."
When Li Nian heard that Shen Baiying was still detained in the government office, he frowned and said, "She is injured. Did you call a doctor?"
"Yes," Xiaobai replied truthfully, "A military doctor named Pei Yu'an is treating her."
"Second Brother Pei is back?" Li Nian was a little surprised.
Li Sisi had just sent the sleeping Jinhe to the east wing. When she walked over, she could only vaguely hear the conversation between the two.
"Brother Pei rescued Bai Ying?"
Li Nian heard Li Sisi's surprised words and turned around to explain: "No, it was Xiao Yunyu's people who found Bai Ying. Brother Pei is treating Bai Ying at the government office."
Upon hearing this, Li Sisi looked at Li Nian and said, "Shall we go to the government office to see Bai Ying now?"
"Let's wait until after dinner. Bai Ying just came back, let her talk to her family first."
When Li Sisi heard what Li Nian said, she thought it made sense. Bai Ying had just returned, and was injured at that. What she needed most was definitely the company of her family.
So she nodded and said, "Okay." She turned her head and looked towards the kitchen, "Niannian, is Xiao Yunyu's dish ready?"
Li Nian then remembered his purpose and said suddenly, "No, I still need to go to the house to get medicine."
"Huh? What medicine?" Li Sisi asked with a puzzled look on her face.
Li Nian explained: "Xiao Yunyu's wrist was burned. I'll go to the house to get medicine." After that, she turned on her toes and walked towards her room.
Xiaobai listened to the conversation between the two, his round black eyes filled with shock and disbelief.
Who? Who's cooking? His master, the prince of a marquisate, is cooking in the kitchen?
His master has never done this kind of work!
Is the food he cooks edible?
Xiaobai ran to the row of back rooms at the gate to look for Xiaohong. He had been away all morning. What strange thing had his master done?
Li Nian quickly returned to the kitchen with the burn medicine and saw that Xiao Yunyu had already served the fish soup and was frying some side dishes.
The sizzling sound of hot oil in the pot continued. A man in a dark green gilded brocade robe with a handsome face was stir-frying the cabbage in the pot with a spatula in his hand.
The once arrogant and domineering young master of aristocratic family has now put aside all his pride. The kitchen fumes make the noble prince have a bit of the down-to-earth air of a good husband.
"Xiao Yunyu."
Li Nian's voice became subtly different as she handed him the medicine: "You apply the medicine first, I'll stir-fry it."
Hearing her gentle words, Xiao Yunyu's deep eyes were filled with smiles. He lowered his head and saw that the pair of eyes that had always been cold were now as soft as a pool of spring water, which instantly caused ripples in his heart.
The corners of his lips curled up in a relaxed and happy arc: "There's no rush for applying the medicine. I agreed to be the one to do it, how could I let you do it?"
Seeing Li Nian tilting her head to look at his wrist, someone had an idea, lowered his eyebrows, and even his voice, which had always been low and magnetic, drooped gloomily: "It's just that the wound hurts a little. It would be better if Nian Nian could help me apply medicine."
At this point, he added a cautious tone: "Of course, it's okay if Nian Nian doesn't want to. Although it hurts a little, I can still bear it."
Li Nian frowned as she looked at his red wrist, which had already blistered slightly. "Okay, I'll help you apply the medicine."
Hearing this, Xiao Yunyu's lips immediately curled up into an imperceptible arc. He tilted his face to the side, and his deep and unruly eyebrows showed that he could not hide his secret joy.
The low, magnetic voice was filled with tenderness: "Okay, then I'll have to trouble Nian Nian to apply the medicine for me personally."
When Li Nian heard his words, she couldn't help but curl her lips and said, "You're welcome. It's just a small favor."
Xiao Yunyu's bright peach blossom eyes were filled with smiles. His wife looked so beautiful when she smiled, especially when she smiled at him, she looked the best!
Xiao Yunyu stretched out his hand, feeling his wife's soft fingers dipped in cold burn medicine touching his burning red wrist, and a numbing feeling spread from his wrist to his whole body.
His dark pupils were as dark as ink, his Adam's apple rolled dryly, and his lips began to dry up.
Taking a deep breath, he turned his eyes away and tried to calm his heart which was obviously beating too fast.
Li Nian released his wrist: "Okay."
"Yeah, okay." The man's voice was inexplicably hoarse when he answered.
Xiao Yunyu withdrew his hand calmly and continued to stir-fry the cabbage seriously.
However, the place where the burn ointment was applied still seemed to have a tingling sensation left by the cold fingertips, like a flame, burning with a heat that was difficult to ignore.
To make someone distracted.
Li Nian watched as the cabbage in the pot was almost fried to pieces, but the man showed no sign of stopping.
He sighed helplessly. Fortunately, she was here to watch over him, otherwise this plate of cabbage would be completely inedible.
She poked the man who was still stirring diligently, "Xiao Yunyu, it's time to serve."
The man who had been poked came back to his senses, his eyes shining with brilliance, and he whispered, "Okay."
