Bi Qiaoan was still a little shy and reluctant to take off her clothes.
Seeing this, Shen Yanming pulled her behind the shelf: "Now it's all right, An'an and Nuannuan can't see it."
Bi Qiaoan hesitated for a moment, then took off her outer clothes, leaving only her undershirt and underwear.
It was then that she realized her body was covered in bruises. Large patches of them, except for her stomach and back.
"It was probably because I was wearing a life jacket that I wasn't hit by a heavy object." Bi Qiaoan looked at it, feeling a chill run down her spine. "Luckily, the life jacket wasn't torn, otherwise I would have..."
Before he could finish speaking, he realized he had let something slip.
"That's not what I meant. I just meant that those who survive a great calamity are bound to have good fortune, and I'm a very lucky person," Bi Qiaoan said with an awkward smile.
Shen Yanming pulled her into his arms: "Wife, how could you be so silly? Didn't you know to go into the space?"
Bi Qiaoan hissed, "Back then, I didn't expect it to be this serious. And I was also a little worried that others would discover our family's secret."
Shen Yanming disagreed, but said nothing. He simply looked at Bi Qiaoan's injuries with concern.
He hadn't missed the gasp he'd heard earlier, so the first thing he looked at was Bi Qiaoan's head.
Shen Yanming brushed aside Bi Qiaoan's long hair and saw a palm-sized bump on the back of her head. He tenderly touched it with his fingertips, but as soon as he touched it, Bi Qiaoan cried out and dodged away.
"Honey, don't touch me, it hurts!"
"How did you do that?"
"I don't know what hit it."
"So, you fainted and that's why you didn't enter the space? So, you drifted unconsciously at sea for so long? So, you couldn't even protect yourself, which is why you didn't take care of An'an?"
Bi Qiaoan's eyes were brimming with tears. She felt wronged, but she was powerless to refute it.
Shen Yanming sighed deeply, unsure of what to say. His hand, which he was holding, felt weak: "Don't do such dangerous things again. Let's go, I'll treat your wounds."
Bi Qiaoan nodded: "We need to wash up first, otherwise we'll be covered in dirt."
Shen Yanming hummed in agreement. "Let's go back to the mobile villa first. I'll apply the medicine after you've washed up."
Bi Qiaoan hesitated for a moment: "You've been in here for so long, won't something happen to you?"
Shen Yanming didn't care about anything else right now. He didn't consider the consequences and casually said, "It's okay, they're all tired and have been fast asleep for a while."
Bi Qiaoan knew he wasn't telling the truth, but her husband was always smart and probably already had a way to deal with it, so she nodded and said, "Okay!"
Bi Qiaoan put her dirty clothes back on and followed Shen Yanming, taking the two children back to the mobile villa.
Except for An'an, the rest of the family of four were all quite disheveled. Shen Yanming thought for a moment and decided to tidy up the two children first, otherwise he was afraid they would feel uncomfortable or get sick.
He and Bi Qiaoan washed their hands and faces, then carried their two children to the bathroom for a bath. When they took off their dirty clothes, the couple were stunned.
An'an was fine; she hadn't been in the water for more than two minutes and wasn't injured.
But Nuannuan was different; she had been soaking in the water for several hours. By then, the little baby's skin was wrinkled and pale. She also had several wounds on her body, the cause of which was unknown.
Bi Qiaoan was heartbroken and asked with tears in her eyes, "Baby, does it hurt? Why didn't you tell Daddy?"
Nuannuan lowered her head and remained silent.
Shen Yanming also felt bad, somewhat annoyed at his carelessness. He quickly squatted down to be at eye level with Nuannuan: "Sweetie, tell Daddy, why didn't you say you were hurt?"
Nuan Nuan glanced at Shen Yanming, then at Bi Qiaoan, hesitated for a moment before saying, "I didn't know it was injured; it wasn't bleeding."
"Doesn't it hurt?"
Nuannuan nodded, then shook her head.
The couple didn't press her further, automatically assuming that she had just experienced pain at first, but it had subsided after a while. Perhaps, after being in the seawater for so long, she had become accustomed to the pain.
The two of them didn't say anything more. After bathing and changing the two babies into their pajamas, they took out ready-made milk powder, biscuits, bread, and steamed eggs from the storage area and let the two babies eat first.
While waiting, Shen Yanming disinfected Nuannuan's wound. Bi Qiaoan asked him to take out some spiritual strawberries for the two children, hoping it would speed up the healing process.
Shen Yanming obediently took a bunch of things. Bi Qiaoan wanted to stop him, but Shen Yanming said, "These can last for several days. You and An'an should eat more. I'll bring you more after you've finished eating."
Bi Qiaoan nodded, remembering the shopping cart she used to use, and said to Shen Yanming, "We can put the shopping cart in the middle of the light screen, the basket in the storage area, and the handle in the planting area."
This way, you can put things in there every day, and when I need them, I can just pull the cart out and get them. When I don't need them anymore, I can push it back in to keep them fresh.
Shen Yanming thought this was a good idea and nodded: "Okay, I'll get one when I leave. Leave me a note if you need anything, and I'll check it often."
“Okay!” Bi Qiaoan smiled, her eyes crinkling.
Not long after finishing their meal, An'an and Nuannuan became sleepy. The couple brushed their teeth while holding their two children before taking them to the bedroom to put them to sleep. Only after the two little ones' breathing became even did the couple go to the bathroom, remove their clothes, and take a refreshing hot shower.
Bi Qiaoan noticed the injury on Shen Yanming's leg and asked him, "Does it hurt? Why didn't you say you were injured? You were busy scolding me, but you haven't even taken care of your own wound yet."
Shen Yanming smiled and said, "I was just worried about you. Besides, I only have a small wound, nothing to worry about."
Bi Qiaoan put on a stern face: "How could that be? So many people have lost their lives because of minor injuries. Just think about it, there's everything in the seawater, all kinds of viruses and bacteria. You were soaking in it for so long, you might have gotten infected."
Shen Yanming's heart skipped a beat, but he remained outwardly calm: "It's alright, I drank the spiritual spring water, so there shouldn't be any problems. I'll clean and bandage it properly in a bit, okay?"
Bi Qiaoan nodded in satisfaction, but upon touching the clean wound, she asked, "This... it's probably cut by glass or metal, right? Should we get a tetanus shot?"
Shen Yanming sighed helplessly, "Wife, we didn't collect any vaccines! The storage conditions are very strict; even Heping and Grandpa Lin couldn't get them. It's alright, just take some anti-inflammatory medicine and drink some spiritual spring water in a bit, okay!"
Bi Qiaoan pouted, wanting to say something but then gave up.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine. I'll stay with you until we grow old. Just like you said, we both survived this ordeal, so we're destined for good fortune."
Bi Qiaoan forced a smile: "I'm luckier than you. Despite the dangers I faced, I only suffered minor injuries, not even a scratch. Unlike you, who had to worry about infection."
Shen Yanming...
Suddenly, I felt speechless.
However, Bi Qiaoan was soon proven wrong...
