Kong Wenjie's eyes fell on her face again. Ah Chou was feeling uncomfortable, and Kong Wenjie turned his eyes away again. Then he walked straight out of the main hall. Ah Chou felt relieved and hurriedly sent Kong Wenjie out.
After seeing Kong Wenjie off, Ah Chou hurried back to the main hall and looked at the rocking chair inside. The more he looked at it, the more he liked it. He immediately moved the rocking chair to the wall, and then he opened the door and entered the dormitory. When he was about to happily announce the good news to Zhong Mingwei, he smelled a strange smell in the air, and Ah Chou was startled. He immediately took out a clean mat and replaced it for Zhong Mingwei. He took out a towel to wipe Zhong Mingwei's wet thighs, and said to Zhong Mingwei apologetically and self-blamingly: "It's my fault for coming back late. You must feel very uncomfortable. I'll go boil some water. I'll wipe your body later."
Zhong Mingwei felt uncomfortable and annoyed. He resisted the urge to argue with Ah Chou and said "hmm" in a depressed tone.
Ah Chou knew that he was not feeling well, so he did not dare to mention the rocking chair and went to the kitchen to boil water.
After the water boiled, Ah Chou hurriedly mixed some water and brought it in, and wiped Zhong Mingwei's body carefully. When he wiped his back, Ah Chou was a little happy again: "The bedsore on your back has gotten better. If you keep doing this, it will be almost healed in three to five days."
"Who were you talking to just now?" After wiping his body with the warm handkerchief, Zhong Mingwei felt better and was willing to talk.
"Oh, I bought a rocking chair at the market, and I happened to meet Guard Kong. He was free, so he helped me carry the chair back," Ah Chou said. He was particularly happy when he mentioned the rocking chair, and he continued to chatter, "The rocking chair is really very good, it's wide and big, and it's said to be made of Siamese rattan. I sat down and tried it, it's very good, I'm sure you like it. Tomorrow, when your legs are a little looser, I'll help you go to the yard to bask in the sun."
Zhong Mingwei said "Oh" neither lightly nor heavily.
When Ah Chou heard him say "Oh", she felt that he was in a bad mood again, and her heart started beating again. While wiping Zhong Mingwei's legs, she wondered in her heart whether Zhong Mingwei was unhappy that she bought the rocking chair or that he asked Kong Wenjie to deliver the chair. She couldn't make up her mind and didn't dare to ask rashly, for fear of saying something wrong and making Zhong Mingwei angry again. She and Zhong Mingwei got along well now, and they usually talked and laughed, but when it came to this time, Ah Chou was particularly cautious. However, Ah Chou didn't feel wronged. After all, Zhong Mingwei was in poor health, and it was inevitable that a sick person would have a bad temper, so she just gave in.
After wiping Zhong Mingwei's body, Ah Chou went back to cooking. It was getting late, and when she brought in the noodles, it was already dark. She took out a candle and lit it.
Zhong Mingwei still used chopsticks to eat noodles by himself, but he was still not very skillful. It took him a long time to finish only half a bowl. Ah Chou was worried and couldn't help but said, "I'll go get you another bowl of noodles. It's cold."
"Is the noodles in your bowl cold?" Zhong Mingwei said, staring at Achou's bowl of noodles.
Ah Chou was startled, he lowered his head and looked at his full bowl of noodles, he immediately felt embarrassed, he silently lowered his head to pick at the noodles that had become a little sticky, while looking at Zhong Mingwei. Somehow, Ah Chou felt that Zhong Mingwei was not as excited today as he was yesterday. Yesterday, when he was eating such noodles, Zhong Mingwei was very excited, he was sweating all over his face, but he was still smiling. But today, Zhong Mingwei didn't smile at all.
"Who is that Guard Kong?" Zhong Mingwei suddenly asked Achou while stirring the noodles in the bowl.
"They are the imperial guards who were ordered to escort Miss Duan to Ningguta," Ah Chou said hurriedly, "There are two of them, brothers. The elder one is Kong Wenmin and the younger one is Kong Wenjie. It was the younger one who brought the chair back to me today."
Zhong Mingwei looked better. He ate a mouthful of noodles and asked, "Where is the original guard?"
