As he spoke, he strode toward the bedside.
But the moment his hand touched the bedding, Su Miaoyan stopped him.
Su Miaoyan frowned, "Lu Ting, I haven't applied the medicine for you yet, why are you walking so fast?"
Lu Ting was slightly taken aback, "I was afraid of scaring you..."
Su Miaoyan glanced at him helplessly, "What are you thinking? I'm not thinking anything."
She walked up to him, picked up the pajamas next to him, and said, "Put these on first, and then I'll apply the medicine for you."
Lu Ting hesitated, but after seeing his wife's slightly "threatening" gaze, he swallowed back the words of refusal that were on the tip of his tongue.
She stiffly took the pajamas and walked towards the bathroom.
After changing into his pajamas, Lu Ting went back into the room and saw Su Miaoyan sitting on the bed waiting for him.
For some reason, he suddenly had a feeling that he was waiting for punishment to come.
He strode over, and almost as soon as he got close, Su Miaoyan grabbed his arm and pressed him onto the bed.
Logically speaking, Lu Ting, a tall man of 1.9 meters, shouldn't be so easily pinned down.
Well, but if the other party is his wife, then anything can happen.
For the first time, Su Miaoyan showed her assertive side in front of Lu Ting. Without saying a word, she lifted the hem of his clothes, applied some ointment, and started touching him directly.
Her fair and delicate hands caressed the man's strong and powerful waist.
The ointment felt warm to the touch, yet also cool. Lu Ting felt like a small boat adrift on the ocean, his body tense and unable to utter a single word.
He was a soldier, and it was common for him to get injured while on missions.
He wouldn't have cared about this minor injury in the past.
But now...
Lu Ting's thoughts changed.
Because he didn't want the other person to worry too much about him.
Su Miaoyan frowned as she applied the medicine. The man's back muscles were taut, but they were covered with scars of all sizes. Although many of the scars had turned white, they were still shocking to behold.
Su Miaoyan applied the ointment to all the inconspicuous wounds, and then stopped.
A barely perceptible sigh escaped his throat.
After placing the ointment, I lifted the covers and lay down inside.
"I've finished applying it, you can turn around now."
"good."
Lu Ting seemed to hear her sigh, and after turning around, he asked, "What's wrong?"
Su Miaoyan remained silent.
Lu Ting repeated himself, "Is it because..."
Su Miaoyan turned over to look at him and turned off the light as well.
He said, "I just feel a little sorry for you."
Even for a tough guy, getting injured is a common occurrence.
But saying it is one thing, seeing it is another.
Su Miaoyan initially thought it was just a waist injury, but when she saw the healed scars, she couldn't help but be moved.
Lu Ting was slightly taken aback, but after realizing what she meant, he pulled her into his arms.
"Then I'll try to be more careful in the future."
Su Miaoyan was stunned for a few seconds, then whispered, "Then does this count as not going all out?"
Lu Ting smiled. "No."
Su Miaoyan seemed thoughtful. "Then you should be more careful. But I understand you're just saying that to me. When you're actually on the battlefield, you'll definitely fight harder than anyone else."
Lu Ting looked somewhat helpless. How could his wife be so smart?
As if remembering something, Lu Ting asked, "How's the tree planting going after I left that day?"
Su Miaoyan didn't intend to tell the truth; after all, one should be low-key.
She replied, "It was decent, nothing dragged me down."
The image of her uninjured hand flashed through his mind, and Lu Ting took it seriously. "Okay, so are you going tomorrow?"
tomorrow?
Su Miaoyan thought for a moment, "I won't go. Gu Shanqing needs to see me tomorrow."
Gu Shanqing?
Lu Ting frowned slightly. Why did this name sound so familiar?
Su Miaoyan noticed his odd behavior and teased him with a smile, "Doesn't that sound familiar?"
Lu Ting gave a low "hmm".
In the darkness, the woman in his arms suddenly made eye contact with him.
Su Miaoyan asked, "Then do you remember who she is?"
Lu Ting searched his mind for the name, but finally shook his head.
"I can't remember."
Su Miaoyan reminded her, "Your blind date."
A blind date?
Speaking of blind date partners, this reminded him of something.
Lu Ting said in a deep voice, "She was not my blind date. At the time, it was Chief Gu who invited me to dinner. I thought he was alone, so I went."
That is indeed a misunderstanding.
Su Miaoyan: "I understand."
Lu Ting breathed a sigh of relief; he was really afraid his wife would misunderstand him.
The person in his arms was frail and boneless, so thin that he could lift them with one hand. He couldn't help but ask with concern:
"While I was away, the courtyard... it looks so different now. And how did you and Gu Shanqing meet?"
In the pitch-black room, only the two of them slept in each other's arms. On Lu Ting's first night back, the two of them couldn't help but chat more about everyday things.
Su Miaoyan recounted everything that had happened during this period from beginning to end. The more she spoke, the tighter she could feel the person next to her holding her.
Almost immediately after she finished speaking, Su Miaoyan couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"
Lu Ting remained silent.
Su Miaoyan glanced at him in surprise, only to see the man staring intently at her.
He stroked her dark hair and said in a deep voice, "Did she bully you?"
He was away on a mission, and she was in the family compound with this identity. Old Bian and Professor Xue rarely appeared in front of everyone. She was being bullied, and without his support, what could she do?
Su Miaoyan understood what he meant, and pretended to be aggrieved, "Lu Ting, if I get bullied, how will you stand up for me?"
Lu Ting's face darkened.
His voice also turned serious, "I will personally go to your door to seek justice for you."
He doesn't hit women.
However, his wife was bullied, and as a responsible husband, he had promised to protect her, and he was going to do so.
Su Miaoyan leaned closer to him, "But the other party is the daughter of a high-ranking official, or even the wife of a high-ranking official. You're all alone, how can you help me get justice? Aren't you afraid of affecting your career?"
Lu Ting said in a deep voice, "Soldiers must abide by the law even more. The political commissar will definitely take action against them for what they did."
"Too."
Su Miaoyan seemed to be deep in thought.
She understood this principle, of course, but seeing Lu Ting's serious expression, she couldn't help but ask, that's all.
She snuggled closer to the man, and Lu Ting let out a muffled groan as he wrapped his large arms around her waist.
A sly glint flashed in Su Miaoyan's eyes. Just as she was about to ask what was wrong, she heard the man's low, husky voice in her ear.
"Wife, we..."
Su Miaoyan slowed her breathing. If she still didn't understand what was meant after all this, she'd be a fool.
At the same time, she could also feel that the hand on her waist seemed to be trembling slightly...
