"I'm going too."
Song Zhi was about to follow, but was stopped by Tang Junhe the next second.
"You stay."
Tang Junhe had a stern face. She was too concerned about Ran Qiu.
Before Tang Junhe's eyes turned to her, Nie Jinmei said with great perceptiveness.
“I’ll go!”
She pretended not to understand Song Zhishi's expression, coughed lightly, and said, "Zhizhi, just stay and thank Major Tang. Don't worry, I will take Teacher Ran home safely!"
After saying that, she put some oil on her feet and quickly followed Liu Ming.
As soon as they left, only Song Zhi and Tang Junhe were left in the room.
Because of what happened just now, Song Zhi felt very uncomfortable. He felt as if his whole body was covered with lice and was very itchy.
"Thank you for today." She thanked Tang Junhe dryly.
Tang Junhe glanced at her without responding, but took out the ointment that she refused to use at that time.
His slender hand gently unscrewed the lid, then pressed it, squeezing out a little white ointment on his fingers. The next second, after putting down the ointment with his other hand, he pulled open Song Zhi's collar.
“What are you doing!”
Song Zhi exclaimed and swallowed in horror.
However, before she could struggle, fingers dipped in ointment and feeling slightly cool fell on the blue and red finger marks on her neck.
Tang Junhe tightened his face and lowered his eyes as he carefully applied the ointment for her.
The two people are very close.
As he moved closer to her, she felt his warm breath on her cheek.
She could hear the beating of his heart, clear and strong.
She could smell almost every detail of his fresh, clean soapy scent, and this close contact made her feel inexplicably nervous.
Her breathing was a little disordered, her hands tightly grasped the corners of her clothes, and her body subconsciously tensed up to suppress the urge to escape.
The ointment was cold, and his fingers were cold too, but the places where his fingertips rubbed gently felt burning hot.
Her eyes involuntarily fell on Tang Junhe's face.
Looking at him from this angle, he is so handsome that he looks like a character from a movie poster.
Especially those wing-like eyelashes, so thick and curled that they make women jealous.
The eyelashes trembled slightly, as if a kitten's paw was gently teasing Song Zhi's heart, which made Song Zhi feel a little itchy.
Tang Junhe didn't notice anything unusual about her. He frowned and concentrated on applying the ointment for her. Looking at the marks left on her fair neck, he felt distressed.
"Does it still hurt?"
A pleasant and deep voice suddenly sounded in his ears, which scared Song Zhi.
She came to her senses in an instant and pushed him away.
"No, it's okay."
She turned her head away and breathed deeply, trying to dispel the heat rising from her cheeks.
Tang Junhe was a little confused by her inexplicable behavior.
Fortunately, the ointment had been applied. He silently screwed the lid on, raised his eyes and looked quietly at Song Zhi's profile.
A soft light from outside the window happened to hit her face, making the fine hairs on her cheeks clearly visible, which made Tang Junhe think of the soft and cute Song Zhi when she was a child.
She has been pretty since she was a child, and she has become even prettier as she grew up.
Especially recently.
She had lost some weight, her chin was pointed, and her facial features were more delicate and bright, making him unable to take his eyes off her.
The room was quiet, but Tang Junhe's heart was beating so fast that he could even hear the sound of his own heart pounding.
His mind was distracted as he looked at the face that was so close to him, and he subconsciously moved closer slowly.
But when he was about to touch her, Tang Junhe suddenly thought of the night when they were entangled with each other...
His expression froze, and he suddenly came to his senses. He stopped his inner impulse and quickly retreated to his previous position, but his voice became even hoarse.
"The medicine has been applied. Don't touch it or cover it."
Song Zhi was afraid that he would come over and talk to her, so she nodded in response.
"Okay, I understand."
＊
Ran Qiu was locked up alone in a small dark room. When he heard the sound of the door being unlocked, he thought someone was going to take him in for interrogation.
Unexpectedly, the man came and took him out.
"I've figured it out. It was just a misunderstanding. I'm really sorry. I'll arrange for someone to take you back later."
Liu Ming apologized to Ran Qiu awkwardly.
Ran Qiu was a little confused, but when he saw Nie Jinmei waiting outside, he immediately understood.
It must be Song Zhi who helped him.
Liu Ming was really embarrassed. He said hello to them and left in a hurry.
Nie Jinmei looked at Ran Qiu who was still standing there in a daze, thinking that he had suffered some kind of hardship in there, so she walked up to him and asked with concern.
"Teacher Ran, are you okay? They didn't do anything to you, did they?"
Ran Qiu's face was gloomy and cold. He did not answer, but asked about Song Zhi instead.
"Where is Song Zhi?"
"She's with Major Tang." Nie Jinmei answered honestly.
Hearing this, Ran Qiu pursed his lips into a line and his eyes dimmed slightly. It was just as he thought.
He clenched his hands, and after a moment, he nodded, took a deep breath and said, "Let's go back."
Nie Jinmei asked in surprise, "Aren't we waiting for Zhizhi to go home together?"
Ran Qiu glanced in a certain direction, and his eyes darkened a little.
"She probably won't be going back with us tonight. Let's go first and come back another day to thank Major Tang."
Nie Jinmei looked at Ran Qiu strangely. She could sense that Ran Qiu clearly didn't want Song Zhi to stay here, but yet he had to say this...
But when he thought about what he had just heard, Nie Jin looked at his heart and nose, pretending to know nothing, and walked with Ran Qiu.
After they left, Song Zhi also received the news.
Upon learning that Ran Qiu and Nie Jinmei were sent back to the village by the army's vehicle, Song Zhi looked at the soldier who brought the news in surprise.
They left without even calling me?
She pursed her lips helplessly, grabbed her coat, stood up and was about to walk out.
Tang Junhe grabbed her arm.
"Since they have all left, why don't you stay for dinner tonight? We haven't had a good meal in a while."
Song Zhi was stunned and stopped.
Thinking back, the last time they had dinner together was during their tutoring session, and it’s been a long time now.
He helped a lot again today, and Song Zhi couldn't refuse him. After a moment of silence, she agreed.
"Okay, but after dinner, I want to go back."
"good."
After getting her consent, Tang Junhe was obviously in a good mood, and even the corners of his mouth had a slight curve.
The soldier standing by even suspected that he was seeing things. He thought that Major Tang, who was always serious, could be so happy.
And this is simply because people are willing to stay for a meal.
