Ning Yuan was a little helpless: "The self-inflicted injury was a spur-of-the-moment idea. The stall owner was just an ordinary person. How could I let myself get seriously injured?"
She was different from them; she started learning late, had a small frame, and didn't have as much time to train like a special forces soldier.
Therefore, she could only learn some ways to dodge attacks and a few counterattack moves suitable for her.
She can avoid attacks from ordinary people.
Rong Zhaonan's expression remained unpleasant as he looked at her disapprovingly: "Then why are you still..."
Ning Yuan quickly interrupted him: "You know, you've always taught me more about dodging attacks. I practice whenever I have time. I know my limits, it's really not that serious!"
Rong Zhaonan said coldly, "You always have such strong opinions, I can't argue with you. Show me your injury, seeing is believing!"
As he spoke, he reached out and started to take off her clothes.
Ning Yuan instinctively flinched, but immediately stopped moving. Why would she flinch? It was her own dog!
When Rong Zhaonan saw her avoid him, his eyes turned even colder, but the next moment, seeing that she didn't move, he moved closer.
His expression softened slightly, and he carefully unbuttoned her coat and blouse, revealing a small red and purple patch on one of her shoulders.
It was exceptionally noticeable on the smooth, fair skin.
Annoyance and heartache flashed in Rong Zhaonan's eyes: "Is this what you mean by 'not serious'?"
Ning Yuan was a little guilty: "It's okay, it's okay, there's no serious injury, just a superficial wound."
As she spoke, she pointed to a small patch of redness and swelling on his neck: "Look, isn't your neck also sunburned?"
I initially thought his neck was red because he was embarrassed, but upon closer inspection I realized it was swollen!
She couldn't resist pulling open his collar: "Let me see?"
Rong Zhaonan didn't refuse. He took off his coat and imported black tight-fitting military short-sleeved shirt, revealing his broad shoulders, narrow waist, and incredibly muscular upper body.
Sure enough, Ning Yuan noticed obvious sunburn healing marks on his arms and parts of his shoulders.
After saying that, she couldn't help but ask with a mixture of curiosity and concern, "It's only May, where did you get such a strong sun? Where did you go, the desert or the sea? How did you get sunburned?"
Young Master Rong has naturally fair skin, and he never gets tanned, whether he was farming and herding cattle in the countryside or when he was in the army.
This is also one of the reasons why he was born "handsome".
But for someone like him who is often exposed to wind and rain, it's not a good thing; lacking melanin makes him very susceptible to sunburn.
Rong Zhaonan said nonchalantly, "We went to the high seas for a few rounds."
Malacca has a tropical rainforest climate, and it's hot and humid in April and May. He took his men there disguised as mercenaries.
It's normal to get sunburned after being at sea for so long.
Ning Yuan didn't want to ask too many questions, so she just sighed and pressed her face against his shoulder: "Alright, we're both injured in pairs."
Rong Zhaonan raised an eyebrow: "Is the subtext that I should not pursue this matter?"
Ning Yuan smiled with her big, bright eyes, and confidently looked up to kiss his handsome face: "Yeah, look how proactive I was, don't hold it against me!"
Rong Zhaonan lowered his head and kissed her lips fiercely: "That little bit of initiative isn't enough."
He unceremoniously used his powerful tongue to pry open her soft lips, plundering the sweet fragrance he had longed for for months.
Ning Yuan felt like a juicy fruit being gnawed on and kissed until her bones went numb and her breath trembled.
"The sweet and sour taste... is it from eating bayberries?" He gently released her tongue and asked in a low voice between her lips.
His long, slender hand, calloused from the skin, moved upwards along her slender waist inside her shirt.
His voice, whispered between her lips, grew increasingly indistinct and unusually soft, numbing her ears.
She endured the numbness spreading down her spine and tailbone, murmuring, "Hmm... just on the market... after lunch... fresh... fruit."
She still took the initiative to put her arm around his shoulder.
His gaze darkened, and the flames flickered.
He suddenly lifted her up.
Ning Yuan instinctively wrapped her legs around his slender waist.
Rong Zhaonan supported her little bottom and walked towards the bathroom, then lowered his head to gently peck her lips: "Mmm, sweet and sour... very delicious."
As Ning Yuan entered the bathroom, she suddenly felt something was off. Looking up, she was shocked to see—
"A water heater?!" Ning Yuan looked at the thing in disbelief.
Water heaters are still mainly used by middle-class and above households in Hong Kong.
In mainland China, it wasn't until the late 1980s, or about ten years later, that it gradually became popular!
In the courtyard where he used to rent a place in the county town, Grandpa Tang had made a homemade spray shower device.
But that was in a bungalow, and you had to boil water yourself, pour it into a water tank, and rely on water pressure to get the water out.
But this is a real water heater, and it looks like it's solar-powered.
When Rong Zhaonan saw that she immediately recognized the name of the thing, he asked with a half-smile, "How did you know? It doesn't exist in the mainland yet."
Ning Yuan rolled her eyes, looking nonchalant: "There's a lot of smuggled goods in Guangzhou, I've seen it."
Rong Zhaonan chuckled lightly, "In the past, it was my classmates who said it, my grandma who said it, and now it's the shills who say it."
The curly-haired rabbit spirit's reasons are becoming more and more reasonable.
"Do you like it? I asked Ning Bingyu to get it for me. It's a gift for you."
Rong Zhaonan didn't ask any further questions. He simply lowered his head and kissed her ear, then pulled down her panties and outer pants together.
He came back early in the morning and immediately found someone to help him install it.
Knowing that probably not many workers in mainland China would know how to install it, he even learned how to do it himself and spent the whole morning working on it.
Ning Yuan was startled: "Ning Bingyu? This thing isn't cheap, is it..."
Rong Zhaonan turned on the valve, and warm water instantly poured down, splashing over his eyes and her lips.
He was too lazy to discuss money with the little money-grubber, so he pressed her against the wall, lifted her up, and lowered his head to suck the glistening water droplets all the way up her body: "Well, so, reward me, Boss Ning."
Ning Yuan instinctively hugged his neck tightly, her whole body trembling slightly, enduring the loss of control over all her senses.
She closed her eyes, her gaze unfocused: "Rong Zhaonan..."
As the hot water steamed, the room was filled with the hazy sound of water.
...
This whole ordeal took up the entire afternoon.
In the bathroom, on the table, on the bed.
Ning Yuan was exhausted by the end and lay on the soft bed in a semi-conscious state.
This has happened three times already... Each time, after it ends, I rest for a while, and then it starts again.
Her mind was completely blank, almost unbearable, a jumble of chaotic thoughts swirling around her, as if only in this way could she catch her breath in the abyss.
I haven't done my homework yet... The professor is taking attendance tomorrow...
Ning Bingyu will arrive the day after tomorrow... So what is her real mother like?
It's mostly done on Uncle Qiao's end... She's going to meet the Ning family next week, I wonder if she'll have time to visit him.
Delayed deliveries are bad; it affects the manufacturer's inventory that year...
Suddenly I felt him pressing down hard on my back again.
Rong Zhaonan lowered his head and gently bit the delicate skin on the back of her neck in a hoarse voice, like a wolf biting its mate: "So absent-minded while doing things? Hmm?"
Ning Yuan endured it, burying her face in the pillow beneath her, and pleaded in a soft voice, "Rong Zhaonan, I... I'm hungry... I want to eat..."
