Lan Xiaolan slept soundly from morning till around 7pm.
Ren Tingxi had been working in the living room and had not left. His movements were very light, and Lan Xiaolan was not woken up by him, but by her own hunger.
I'd better get up, wash up and eat something.
"Ouch! It hurts." Lan Xiaolan's feet had just touched the floor when she was about to stand up when she felt a sudden sharp pain in her ankle.
"What's wrong?" Ren Tingxi heard the voice, anxiously put down the work in his hands and rushed over.
Seeing Lan Xiaolan bending down to rub her ankle, he immediately went over and stopped beside her bed in a half-squatting position.
Then he gently placed Lan Xiaolan's feet in the palm of his hand, pressing and rubbing them.
"Be gentle, it hurts!"
"You must have twisted it when you fell just now. I have some medicine in my bag, I'll rub it for you."
Ren Tingxi took out a small bottle of medicinal wine specially for sprains, poured a little into his palm, and rubbed it hard with his hand to warm it up.
Then he covered the injured area of Lan Xiaolan's ankle with his warm palm and rubbed it hard.
Lan Xiaolan grabbed Ren Tingxi's arm tightly with her hand, and her strength was so great that it left a red mark on his hand.
He let her pinch his arm and endured without making a sound.
"Ren Tingxi, it hurts...be gentler, be gentler." Lan Xiaolan frowned and pouted.
"You have to use more force so that your foot will heal faster." Ren Tingxi rubbed the wound and blew gently on it with her mouth, which could slightly relieve her pain.
"Why do you carry iron wine with you?"
"I work on construction sites, and I go there often. Bruising and sprains are common. As a result, I've started carrying iron wine and disinfectant with me."
"Oh... so that's how it is. I thought you were injured too."
"I'm not injured, but I caught a little injured hedgehog today."
Lan Xiaolan pouted and stepped on Ren Tingxi's chest with her other uninjured foot.
Ren Tingxi has a habit of fitness, and his chest is made of solid muscles, which allowed him to steadily catch Lan Xiaolan's kick.
"Look, the little hedgehog is angry again. If he moves his other foot again, it will get hurt."
Ren Tingxi put her feet down and slowly put on her slippers: "You must be hungry, get up and eat something."
On the living room table were boneless pickled fish, mushroom stew, and dumplings stuffed with cabbage and pork. They were ordinary dishes, but each one was one of Lan Xiaolan's favorites.
He remembered all of her tastes.
The two of them ate dinner quietly, and the atmosphere became a little awkward.
"There have been new discoveries in the ancient tomb complex at the construction site. I just received the information as well."
"Really? What's the new discovery?"
"A total of twelve coffins were dug out at the scene, containing twelve bodies."
"What?" Lan Xiaolan's original judgment was correct. This was not just one or two simple ancient tombs. There must be some stories inside that have not yet been excavated.
"I don't know the details, but I know the scene is well protected. Don't worry."
"After dinner, can I go and see the scene?"
"Now? It's almost 8 o'clock now. It's 8 o'clock at night."
"I'll just go take a look, it won't delay anything."
"Do you have a habit of digging graves late at night? And Professor Bai said you have the day off today, so rest up!"
Lan Xiaolan clasped her hands together and made a gesture of pleading. "I just went to take a look. Twelve bodies were found in one day. It's a rare sight."
It was really interesting that the girl in front of him actually begged him to take her to see the corpse late at night.
Ren Tingxi looked up at her and said, "I'll drive you there later. But I have a dinner party tonight, so I can't stay with you."
"No, no, this is my job." Lan Xiaolan had actually spent countless hours working in the wild, so she had nothing to be afraid of visiting an ancient tomb late at night. She didn't really need anyone to accompany her.
"You said you have a dinner party later, so why are you still eating with me now? Can you eat well?"
Ren Tingxi picked up a piece of fish fillet and put it in Lan Xiaolan's bowl: "It was also a last-minute appointment. The other party made the appointment so late, and I had no choice."
Lan Xiaolan would never have guessed in her dreams that the person Ren Tingxi was talking about was her current boyfriend, Cai Shihang.
When Cai Shihang learned that Ren Tingxi agreed to attend his dinner party, he felt that the cooperation was possible and was very happy.
He immediately started arranging dinner, saying that he must meet Ren Tingxi today and treat Mr. Ren to a good meal.
Ren Tingxi told him that he had some urgent matters to attend to and would be there later.
As long as Ren Tingxi is willing to come to his dinner party, Cai Shihang will definitely wait for him no matter how late it is.
Ren Tingxi is a well-known domestic architectural bridge designer with many large-scale projects on hand.
Cai Shihang's family is in the business of supplying construction raw materials. If he can connect with Ren Tingxi, his future development prospects will definitely be very good.
But Cai Shihang would never have dreamed that the urgent matter Ren Tingxi was talking about was his real girlfriend Lan Xiaolan, who was now sleeping in the room next to Ren Tingxi.
Lan Xiaolan was still asleep, and Ren Tingxi didn't want to leave, nor was he willing to leave.
"Then, will you come back very late?" Lan Xiaolan asked without thinking.
As soon as she asked this question, Lan Xiaolan felt something was very wrong. She lowered her head, covered her shy face with her hair, and ate her meal in big mouthfuls.
