It was already dark when they returned home. Seeing that it was almost time, Gu Shiqing poured water into the bathtub and called Lin Banxia to take a bath.
Lin Banxia loves cleanliness and must take a shower every day, otherwise she will feel uncomfortable.
After entering the bathroom, Lin Banxia took off her clothes, lifted her legs and stepped into the bathtub.
Gu Shiqing had the carpenter make this bathtub specifically for her. Lin Banxia really didn't like sitting in a small basin and taking a bath with just a little water. How could she get clean?
It is more comfortable to take a bath in this kind of bathtub.
Lin Banxia leaned comfortably on the backrest of the bathtub, thinking that she would talk to Gu Shiqing next time and install two movable trays next to the bathtub so that she could drink tea and eat fruit while taking a bath.
It makes me happy just thinking about it.
Lin Banxia has always been a person who knows how to enjoy life. The only hardship she has endured since she was a child was learning medicine, and she would not let herself suffer at all in other aspects.
Just then, the light in the bathroom flickered a few times, and then the whole bathroom fell into darkness.
"Ah!" Lin Banxia exclaimed subconsciously.
In the room, Gu Shiqing had already taken a shower and was sitting on the bed reading a book. The lights suddenly went out.
Lin Banxia's scream in the bathroom was not loud enough for him to hear, but he thought that Lin Banxia was still in the bathroom and she must be scared by the sudden power outage.
He quickly put down the book, reached out to take out the flashlight under the pillow, and ran outside.
He walked out in too much haste and his arm accidentally hit the door, making a dull sound. Gu Shiqing frowned, but continued to walk out without stopping.
When they reached the bathroom door, Gu Shiqing quickly said to the inside: "Don't be afraid, Xia Xia, I'll be outside."
Lin Banxia was a little nervous because of the sudden power outage, but when she heard Gu Shiqing's voice, she felt at ease.
"I've got the flashlight. Could you please open the door a crack and take out the flashlight? I promise I won't look at it." Gu Shiqing continued.
After a pause, he was afraid that Lin Banxia would misunderstand him, so he quickly said, "How about I put the flashlight on the ground and go out first, and you wait until I go out before you open the door and get the flashlight."
The bathroom was small and it became even darker when the power went out. Lin Banxia couldn't get dressed in the dark and had to have a flashlight.
There was a "click" sound, which was the sound of the lock being unlocked from the inside.
Lin Banxia's voice came from inside, and she said, "No, I trust you."
Her slender and smooth hand stretched out from the crack of the open door, dazzling Gu Shiqing's eyes. He hurriedly turned his head to the side and immediately handed over the flashlight in his hand.
The door was not open very wide, and Lin Banxia's vision was limited. When she took the flashlight, her fingertips first touched Gu Shiqing's wrist instead of the flashlight.
Her fingertips were soft and they slid slowly down from his strong wrist until she touched the flashlight.
The cold metal felt in stark contrast to the heat of Gu Shiqing's body. The moment Lin Banxia touched the flashlight, she subconsciously curled her fingers, and then she grasped the flashlight handle.
"Hey." Her gentle voice sounded again.
The weight of the palm and the soft and numb touch disappeared in an instant, and Gu Shiqing's stiff body was able to relax.
The moment Lin Banxia's hand touched him, his breath was choked and his throat rolled.
He knew what was wrong with him.
But it was also strange. When he rescued Lin Banxia from the river two years ago, they had more contact, but he didn't feel anything for her, let alone any reaction. After they got married, Lin Banxia also took the initiative, but at that time he only felt disgust for her.
But in this case, Lin Banxia just touched him with her fingertips, and he had a man's physiological reaction.
When you like someone, even if you can't see her with your eyes, just hearing her voice or just an accidental touch in life can cause ripples in your heart.
Lin Banxia didn't know that her accidental touch caused Gu Shiqing's body and heart to react and feel.
She turned on the flashlight, and the bathroom, which was previously pitch dark, became bright.
After wiping the water stains off her body with a towel, Lin Banxia put on the clean clothes she had prepared, then opened the bathroom door and went out.
Gu Shiqing was standing at the door waiting. Lin Banxia came out with a flashlight. The dazzling beam of light fell on Gu Shiqing, and the warm light enveloped him.
Only then did Lin Banxia realize that Gu Shiqing was wearing his shoes the wrong way around.
Were you afraid that she would be scared and so anxious that you didn't even notice that you put your shoes on the wrong way?
And the bruise on his arm, which hadn't appeared the day before, obviously appeared just now.
Gu Shiqing didn't care about these things at all. When he saw Lin Banxia coming out with a flashlight, he immediately explained: "Power outages rarely occur in the army. It should be a problem with the circuit. Someone will go to fix it. If it's fast, the power will be back in the evening."
Lin Banxia stepped forward and met Gu Shiqing's eyes. She felt like her heart was being kneaded.
In the past, she only cared about medical skills and had never been in a relationship. Although many people pursued her because of her face, the love that Grandpa Wei gave her was too much, so she looked down on other people's love.
But at this moment, she was somewhat touched by Gu Shiqing's actions.
She stared into Gu Shiqing's eyes and said, "Silly boy, you didn't even notice that you put your shoes on the wrong way. Did it hurt?"
It seemed like two completely unrelated sentences, but Gu Shiqing understood it immediately.
"It doesn't hurt." He shook his head and said, "I'm afraid you'll be scared if I come too late."
Lin Banxia's heart was filled, and she took two steps forward.
The already close distance between the two was pulled even closer, so close that they could feel each other's breathing.
Lin Banxia put her arms around Gu Shiqing's waist and said, "I'm not afraid because I have you."
I also couldn't help but sigh, what a slim figure she has, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist!
The sudden hug made Gu Shiqing very happy. Although there was a power outage that day, he finally got a hug from his wife. He hoped that power outages like the one that day could happen more often.
Gu Shiqing reached out and hugged Lin Banxia back. He suddenly felt his throat a little dry and wanted to do something further.
