Chapter 28 Do you want me to help you take it off, or...

"So, what are you doing?"

The calluses on the man's hot palm touched her body. Wen Ci's skin was smooth and tender. Although he didn't move, it felt a little itchy: "Put me down, I can walk by myself."

The living room was not far from the bedroom. In just a few steps, Wen Ci was brought to the bedroom and put on the bed. The sunlight outside the window shone through the white clouds onto the bed.

Huo Jingyuan's words were concise:

"Be good, apply the medicine."

As he spoke, he took out the ointment from the drawer.

"Pull the curtains..." Wen Ci swallowed.

Huo Jingyuan did as he was told, closed the curtains, walked back to the bed and turned on the light. The doctor had reminded him to apply the solution evenly around the area.

The blazing yellow light lit up in the room. The light was not particularly bright, but Wen Ci's face could be seen clearly. The man's eyes were burning and he raised his lips: "Do you want me to help you take it off, or do you want to take it off yourself?"

Wen Ci: “…”

She couldn't stand Huo Jingyuan's look.

It was like a hungry wolf staring at its prey.

"Then I..."

As soon as Huo Jingyuan opened his mouth, Wen Ci reacted fiercely: "I, I, I can do it myself."

-

The next day.

Wen Ci had a good sleep. When he woke up, the sky was gray. He stretched and heard the early morning jogging sounds of the soldiers next door clearly.

She has a good physique and the swelling has gone down after applying the medicine last night.

There was a slight cold wind blowing from the northwest in the early morning. Wen Ci put on a military coat and just opened the door to the outer courtyard. He saw Xue Li standing at the door, raising his hand as if to knock on the door.

Xue Li smiled when he saw Wen Ci: "Hello, sister-in-law."

As he spoke, he handed the steamed buns and porridge in his hand to Wen Ci: "Sister-in-law, this is the breakfast that Brother Huo asked me to bring you. He will lead the group training in a while. If he doesn't come back at noon, I will bring you lunch."

"Is it too troublesome?" Wen Ci frowned.

Xue Li shook his head: "No trouble, no trouble."

"I have to go for a run, so I'm leaving now."

"Thank you for your help, Xue Li."

The standard breakfast in the military compound is steamed buns and porridge.

The porridge was prepared in a lunch box, and Wen Ci felt the warmth in his hands. His eyes curved, and he washed the lunch box clean after finishing his breakfast.

Wen Ci planned to take a walk around the staff quarters to familiarize himself with the environment.

The sky suddenly brightened and the sun shone on the earth. From a distance, the Gobi Desert seemed to be covered with a layer of gold, shining brightly under the sun.

There were not many people in the three-bedroom apartment in the staff compound. Wen Ci saw some people after he walked into the building. Unlike a single-family house with a separate courtyard, there were about four rooms on each floor.

There are a few small wooden stools in front of the building. The tap is on the first floor. There are three floors in total, and everyone in this building shares one tap.

There were several women sitting on some wooden benches, drinking porridge from bowls. Wen Ci's simple dress attracted their attention.

"New family members?"

Wen Ci nodded: "I just arrived yesterday."

There are about ten buildings like this one in the entire family compound. A lady from Northeast China took out a small stool and waved at Wen Ci: "Sister, come and sit down."

Wen Ci was bored, so he just went over and sat down.

"Girl, where are you from?"

Wen Ci replied: "The capital."

"Eh..." The Northeastern lady widened her eyes and exclaimed, "Isn't that our capital?"

Wen Ci nodded: "Yes, but I'm not from Beijing. I came from the mountains over in Beihe, and I just took the green train in Beijing."

Wen Ci's registered residence was originally in Beihe countryside, which was a poor village where educated youth were sent to work a few years ago.
