If it were anyone else, Wen Nongnong would probably have slapped them hard across the face long ago.
But since the other party was Gu Linchao, she didn't have such thoughts.
Hearing his apology, she opened her mouth, almost blurting out that it was okay, but thankfully she stopped herself in time.
In this situation, he should have apologized, but since the two are husband and wife, the apology seemed a bit strange.
Wen Nongnong lowered her head and fiddled with her fingers. To be honest, she didn't dislike Gu Linchao kissing her. On the contrary, she felt somewhat comfortable when he kissed her.
Although his movements were clumsy, they were not rough.
Thinking about it, she couldn't help but raise her eyes and secretly look at him. She saw that he had turned his head to look at the rain outside, his handsome face was red, and she didn't know if it was because of the medicine or because of the fire.
She lowered her head and stared blankly at the flickering flames.
For a moment, the dilapidated temple fell silent, with only the occasional crackling of firewood.
Just then, a warm garment was suddenly draped over her shoulders.
Wen Nongnong was taken aback. She turned her head and saw Gu Linchao sitting back down.
"Put it on, don't catch a cold," he said gently, his voice still carrying a restrained hoarseness.
Wen Nongnong adjusted the robes on her shoulders and simply put them on.
However, Gu Linchao's outer robe was too big for her, so she picked up her belt that had fallen to the ground and tied it around her waist.
Then he turned to look at him and said, "Your Highness, please take off your thin clothes soon. Wearing wet clothes all the time is not good for your health."
Gu Linchao looked down at his clothes, which she had torn into disarray, hesitated for a moment, and then raised his hand to take them off.
Wen Nongnong's gaze lingered on his slender yet muscular chest for a moment, a hint of amazement in her heart.
Gu Linchao has a great physique.
His skin was fair, but his muscles were firm and well-defined, and he had solid muscles in his abdomen. He was indeed worthy of his military background!
She swallowed hard, and when he noticed, she immediately looked away. She took the clothes from his hands as if nothing had happened, wrung them out with some force, shook them out again, hung them on a stick to dry, and then held them close to the fire to dry.
Gu Linchao noticed that she was only focused on drying his clothes, neglecting her own dress and skirt.
He frowned, bent down and picked up her clothes one by one, imitating her actions, first wringing out the water, then hanging them on a stick and bringing them close to the fire to dry.
Wen Nongnong saw it and couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Gu Linchao asked somewhat helplessly, "What are you laughing at?"
"I was just thinking, when we're all old and look back on this day, how will we feel? We'll probably find it both funny and sad."
Upon hearing this, Gu Linchao was surprised, but a hint of gentleness appeared between his brows.
He hadn't expected that, despite their disheveled state, she seemed completely unperturbed and even managed to laugh happily.
"What is Your Highness thinking about?" Wen Nongnong couldn't help but ask when she saw him silent.
"It's nothing," Gu Linchao said calmly.
Seeing that he didn't want to say more, Wen Nongnong shrugged and didn't press him further.
She reached out and touched the clothes on the stick, finding that the front was almost dry, so she moved the clothes to a different position.
Holding a stick in one hand and resting the other on her knee, she noticed the beads of sweat rolling down Gu Linchao's forehead and couldn't help but worry again, "But is Your Highness really alright? The medicine you took..."
Gu Linchao was channeling his inner energy to suppress the restlessness within him when he heard this. He glanced at her and said, "It's nothing."
Wen Nongnong frowned and asked curiously, "But when did Your Highness take the medicine?"
