If you close your eyes, you can't see yourself.
Ye Lingyu felt a pang of pain in her heart: "I know you're awake. If you don't want to see me, I'll leave after you drink the hangover soup. I'll go out now, you can open your eyes."
Ye Lingyu stopped when her sleeve was tugged, but she did not turn around.
A dull ache shot through her chest, and she feared she would lose control of herself.
Cheng Qingyan's voice was a little hoarse: "It's not that I don't want to see you, it's that I'm afraid you don't want to see me."
She only drank one sip of water all night, and like Ruan Banxia, she was woken up by thirst.
When she got up, she felt dizzy and lightheaded, and her head was throbbing. She lost her balance and fell back onto the bed.
Ye Lingyu turned around to help her up, but was also pulled down onto the bed.
From this angle, Cheng Qingyan suddenly felt a sharp pain in her nose.
She swallowed hard; her throat was so dry it hurt a little.
As if by some strange twist of fate, when Ye Lingyu got up, she put her arm around Ye Lingyu's waist, preventing her from getting up.
The hand wrapped around Ye Lingyu tightened its grip. Damn it, why is she awake now? If she weren't, wouldn't it be okay for her to shamelessly kiss her?
Ye Lingyu pressed her body against Cheng Qingyan's, the two of them so close together that it would be a shame if nothing happened.
Cheng Qingyan's eyes were full of tenderness, which made Ye Lingyu's gaze dart away.
Cheng Qingyan loosened his arms around Ye Lingyu and forced a smile, but it was the ugliest smile Ye Lingyu had ever seen.
"I'm sorry, I crossed the line."
These words made Ye Lingyu feel even worse than when she had just closed her eyes.
Ye Lingyu slowly stood up. Cheng Qingyan's eyes were no longer fixed on her, but his gaze was wandering, and it was unclear where he was looking.
The person who had been watching her was now no longer looking at her, and Ye Lingyu's jealousy reached its peak at this moment.
Because he was wary of societal judgment, he ignored Cheng Qingyan's advances.
She dared not share the consequences of going against the world with her, and wanted to accept Cheng Qingyan's kindness while not giving Cheng Qingyan an answer.
Now Cheng Qingyan doesn't want this answer anymore. She is no longer the only one in Cheng Qingyan's eyes. She never expected to feel so sad.
It felt like being stabbed by countless knives; all reason seemed to have been eaten by dogs, vanishing without a trace at that moment.
Unable to accept that Cheng Qingyan no longer had eyes for her, Ye Lingyu disregarded everything and suddenly kissed him, her body initially withdrawing.
She saw Cheng Qingyan's gaze fall back on her, and her eyes widened in surprise.
She saw herself in Cheng Qingyan's eyes.
Cheng Qingyan was stunned by Ye Lingyu's actions and didn't even respond.
It was Ye Lingyu's first time kissing someone. She simply pressed her lips to Cheng Qingyan's lips without moving them at all.
By the time Cheng Qingyan recovered from her surprise and wanted to kiss him back, Ye Lingyu had already raised her head.
She hadn't expected Ye Lingyu to kiss her, so she was stunned for a moment. Now that she had come to her senses, how could she let Ye Lingyu go so easily?
He pulled her back and unleashed a torrent of kisses, leaving Ye Lingyu completely dazed and confused.
Her lips were a little swollen from Cheng Qingyan's kisses, and she felt a little uncomfortable all over.
She had to push Cheng Qingyan, panting. They couldn't go on like this. They were still at Doctor Ruan's house, and something felt off.
Cheng Qingyan released Ye Lingyu, who had gone limp against him, and calmed himself down.
However, she didn't want to continue with Ye Lingyu in this muddled way, so she still wanted to find out the truth.
Why did you suddenly kiss me?
Although the moment she had been waiting for had finally arrived, she still wanted to hear Ye Lingyu's answer in person.
I love you!
The phrase "I love you" exploded like fireworks in Cheng Qingyan's heart.
"Ye Lingyu, are you telling the truth?"
"Call me wife."
"My wife!"
Shen Ziyu stood not far from the doorway and silently took two steps back.
She was ordered to deliver hangover soup, but she didn't expect to overhear the young couple's door.
She thought that Cheng Qingyan probably didn't need the hangover soup.
However, Ruan Banxia asked her to deliver it, and she couldn't explain herself if she didn't take it in.
She waited at the door for a while, and when there was no movement inside, she knocked on the door. She still wanted to deliver the hangover soup.
Ye Lingyu opened the door and took the hangover soup. She noticed that Ye Lingyu's lips were terribly swollen and red.
He immediately looked away: "Banxia asked me to bring Brother Cheng some hangover soup; the temperature is just right."
As Ye Lingyu took it, she left a message and turned to leave.
It's really a sin to disturb that young couple.
Although marriage is supposed to be a balance of yin and yang, she had seen all sorts of men and women and men with men during her many years in the military.
People on the frontier did not place much importance on matters between men and women, or between men and women.
Living on the frontier, the city might fall one day. You might even die by the enemy's blade in your dreams. What's the point of asking for unwavering love and trust then?
There were too many temporary marriages in the military camp, and as long as it wasn't too outrageous, she would turn a blind eye.
Ruan Baisu once told her that living a life of constant danger, it was already a good thing that they could still abide by military regulations and not go out and cause trouble.
Under normal circumstances, males can have sexual intercourse at the age of fourteen.
Many of these soldiers in the barracks haven't been home for three to five years. Asking them to suppress their desires too much is unlikely, and would even harm their health.
She also said that she cannot use her own example to make others follow her example.
So she wouldn't specifically stop people from doing business within the military camp. As long as it wasn't excessive, didn't violate military regulations, and didn't harm others, it was acceptable if it was a mutually agreeable arrangement.
She just didn't want the person her good brother entrusted to her care to turn out like that.
When Cheng Qingyan and Ye Lingyu came out, Ruan Banxia was sunbathing in the courtyard.
She propped her face up on the seat, lost in thought. Shen Ziyu seemed unable to accept a relationship between women. What an idiot.
"Doctor Ruan, what are you doing?"
"Sister Cheng, look what I'm doing!"
"daze?"
Ruan Banxia shifted her hand to support her chin and pointed to the stool: "Please sit down, ladies."
While wondering why Ruan Banxia was in low spirits today, Cheng Qingyan looked for Shen Ziyu.
"Doctor Ruan, you seem rather unenthusiastic today?"
Ruan Banxia blinked, and I sighed, "Oh, not really. I'm just a little envious; you two sisters are so lucky."
Ye Lingyu blushed; it was the first time someone had teased her and Cheng Qingyan to their faces, and she felt somewhat embarrassed.
Cheng Qingyan beamed with joy: "Hahaha, thank you so much, Physician Ruan. Does Physician Ruan have someone he likes?"
Ruan Banxia pulled her arms back, leaned back against the bamboo chair, and said, "Sister Cheng, I've fallen for someone, a real blockhead."
