Nian Siyan was silent for a moment, turned Lan Shuang over, and let her sleep on her stomach to facilitate the absorption of the ointment. He took off his shoes, climbed onto the bed, sat on the headboard and looked at Lan Shuang. His big hands fell on her back and patted her from time to time, as if he was coaxing a child.
Lan Shuang indeed slept even more deeply.
Nian Siyan smiled gently, his eyes gentle.
Go to sleep, you’ve worked hard.
…
When Lan Shuang woke up again, it was completely dark outside. Lan Shuang stared out the window blankly for a while before she could react.
What happened before going to bed? How did she get on the bed?
She's a little slow-witted.
It was not until she suddenly felt a warm breath beside her that she was startled and saw a strong arm around her waist.
She turned her head and saw Nian Siyan's handsome face. Nian Siyan seemed to realize something was wrong. He suddenly opened his eyes and their eyes met. The scene suddenly became ambiguous and weird.
Let’s not talk about how they rolled onto the bed, or why they were in such a weird position…
No shit! Who will tell her what's going on?
Lan Shuang was going crazy in her heart, but her face was very tense.
Nian Siyan blinked slowly, his memory returning to him. It seemed much more natural than Lan Shuang's. He first touched Lan Shuang's forehead naturally. Not feeling the heat anymore, his expression relaxed. When he spoke, his voice was still a little hoarse, but it sounded gentle and affectionate. "Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"
Lan Shuang: “…I…”
She was just about to explain why she felt uncomfortable for no reason, but her mind suddenly started racing, and the scenes that happened before she went to bed popped up in her mind without warning. Lan Shuang's face turned red little by little under Nian Sixian's gaze.
Nian Siyan looked at her doubtfully. Lan Shuang pretended to be calm and looked away, mumbling, "Hmm...I don't feel uncomfortable anymore."
"That's good. I'll ask the robot butler to prepare dinner."
Nian Siyan's expression was natural and his movements were smooth. He got up from the bed and went out in one go. Nothing seemed wrong with him, but Lan Shuang stared at his back and inexplicably saw a hint of escape in his figure.
She slapped her forehead and said, "That's way off the mark."
Nian Siyan would flee in panic? Are you kidding me?
Oh, that’s not impossible. He always feels shy after doing something bad.
Lan Shuang propped up her still aching body and sat up, hugging the quilt in a daze. Then she remembered something and pressed the back of her neck with her backhand. The ointment had taken effect, and the wound was completely healed, smooth and without leaving anything behind.
It was as if the previous hot and beautiful weather was just a dream of hers.
Lan Shuang narrowed her eyes, as if thinking about something.
…
Lan Shuang calmed down and went downstairs, but she didn't see Nian Siyan. She looked around and sat down at the dining table when the chubby robot rolled over. "Hello, beautiful lady. I'm Tess. I have a message from the admiral for you. Listen or not?"
Lan Shuang couldn't help but laugh: "Isn't this an option for you?"
Tess's eyes twinkled. "Because the Admiral said he must let you hear it."
"Then tune in."
Lan Shuang held up her chin and looked at him. Tess's screen immediately switched to the video left by Nian Siyan. He must have recorded it standing in front of Tess, with the living room as the background. "Something urgent happened at the military headquarters, so I have to go there. Dinner is ready. Let Tess bring it to you. If you need anything, tell Tess. If he can't solve it, leave me a message. I will deal with it as soon as I am free. I asked Du Qianping to leave four bodyguards for you. They won't be around normally, so you can rest assured. The specific time they will be back..."
Nian Siyan paused here, as if he was unsure. "Well, if it's short, it might be a week, if it's long, it might be half a month. You can live here with peace of mind."
After saying that, he stared at the camera and smiled softly, "Goodbye."
The screen went black and soon turned to Tess's face again, "So, beautiful lady, would you like to eat?"
Lan Shuang corrected him: "You can call me Lan Shuang."
"Okay, beautiful Miss Lan Shuang."
Lan Shuang: “…”
She tapped Tess's smooth oval head, feeling both amused and helpless. "I didn't realize you, a little robot, are also obsessed with looks."
Tess blushed: "Oh, I just like beautiful women."
"Okay, then please help me bring dinner."
"I'm happy to help you."
Tess turned and went to the kitchen.
Lan Shuang tapped her chin with her fingertips: "Xiao Baba, do you feel it?"
888 was confused: "Huh? What did you feel?"
"I feel like Nian Siyan is avoiding me." Lan Shuang said firmly, "How could it be such a coincidence? He just left so suddenly?"
888: "Maybe it's just a coincidence. After all, the military has so many things going on..."
Well, he actually felt that Nian Siyan was avoiding her. This man looked cold and cruel, but he had no emotional experience at all. He was a blank slate. He was evil and charming during his rebellious period, but when he calmed down, he would regret and become shy.
However, distance creates beauty. Maybe after this time, the relationship between the two will undergo further changes?
"Let him hide, this is his home anyway, I wonder how long he can hide."
Lan Shuang smiled meaningfully, took the food Tess brought over and started eating.
…
The vacation was short, and Lan Shuang went back to the Federal College to attend classes the next day. Because she and Lan Bing were not in the same major and they didn't meet each other often, she didn't know how the Lan family dealt with Lan Bing.
But before she could go looking for trouble with Lan Bing, Lan Bing came to her first.
Lan Shuang had just finished class and had to cross a forest on her way back to the dormitory. Lan Bing had been waiting there early. When Lan Shuang passed by, she immediately jumped out to block her way.
"Lan Shuang, I've been waiting for you for a long time." Lan Bing looked at Lan Shuang sinisterly, with a cold face and sinister eyes, completely no longer pretending.
Lan Shuang held a thick book on pharmacy and looked her up and down. Lan Bing didn't seem to be in any serious trouble, so Lan Ping probably didn't do anything to her.
"What are you waiting for me to do?" Lan Shuang smiled. "What else is there to talk about between us?"
Lan Bing gritted her teeth, leaned close to her and whispered, "Don't be too complacent too soon. Even things you have will fly away, let alone those you haven't got yet. You'd better hold on to the general's thigh tightly, otherwise - sooner or later, you will fall!"
Lan Shuang looked at her indifferently and asked an irrelevant question: "Lan Bing, there is something I don't understand."
Lan Bing frowned: "What?"
"We have no grudges against each other, so why are you always targeting me? I'm not interested in the Lan family, so I shouldn't be a threat to you."
Lan Shuang really didn't understand what was going on in this person's mind.
Lan Bing was stunned for a moment, then snorted in disbelief. "No grudges? You first entered the Lan family as a knight-in-waiting. If you became a knight, my position as heir would be in jeopardy. Why wouldn't I target you? You've easily gained what I've painstakingly cultivated for years. Why wouldn't I hate you?"
