The other room was completely empty. Logically, He Zhangcheng should have moved his bedding over there tonight, but he lingered outside for a long time without moving.
Ye Man didn't think of it at first, until she felt it was too awkward for the two of them to stay in the room, so she took her clothes to take a shower. After she came out of the shower, she found that he had spread out the bedding and put it under the bed.
Ye Man: "..."
There are only the two of them in the family now, and with so much space, they just had to put it here.
As soon as she came out, He Zhangcheng stood up from his chair, glancing at her without daring to look at her. However, he noticed out of the corner of his eye that she had changed from her short pajamas into long sleeves and pants. His eyes darkened, and he didn't say anything more. He picked up his clothes and went to take a shower.
Ye Man sat down at the table, first taking out face cream and applying it to her face, then tidying up the room. She didn't know how, but last time, a man's short-sleeved shirt had gotten mixed into her clothes.
But he was as silent as a sawed gourd, and if Ye Man hadn't noticed that he always wore long sleeves, she wouldn't have thought to look for him in the closet.
Having learned his lesson, I would tidy up the cabinets every now and then. After finishing all the work, he still hadn't come out, so I couldn't help but glance at his bag. Men who had served in the army had very good hygiene habits and didn't keep their own things. Sometimes, if there was any chores in the room, he would do them himself with great awareness.
Ye Man stroked her smooth hair and tapped her slender fingers on the table. He Zhangcheng's performance these past two days had been truly unexpected.
First, she agreed to have only one child in her life, completely disregarding the fact that her mother had recently been so angry that she almost fainted. Later, she couldn't hold back and stabbed her mother-in-law, causing her to be hospitalized.
Aside from the helpless look He Zhangcheng gave her at the beginning, he didn't even show that helpless look after he found out that his mother-in-law was actually healthy and just wanted to stay in the hospital.
Today, she humiliated her mother-in-law by packing all her things and taking them to the hospital. He didn't say anything; instead, he helped her.
People always like to push their luck. Ye Man initially thought that He Zhangcheng was caught between the two and his heart was on his mother's side. Now she found that he had changed a lot, and these few things were particularly to her liking.
"It seems like there's not much coal left. I'll find someone to exchange some coal coupons for it tomorrow."
Ye Man came to her senses and nodded. Usually, other families don't use coal at all in the summer except for cooking, in order to save coal. Unlike them, who need to heat water for bathing, they use a lot more coal than other families.
He Zhangcheng was drying his hair with a military green towel. Ye Man placed her hands on the dressing table for a while, then turned to look at him.
The man was wearing a white vest today. Perhaps because An'an wasn't outside, he wasn't wearing a shirt. Water droplets from his hair, which hadn't been dried, slid down and into his clothes.
He Zhangcheng: "...What's wrong?"
Where she couldn't see, his fists were clenched tightly together. Don't look at him like that.
Should I apply medicine to my forehead?
The big bump on his forehead, bluish-purple, was about half the size of an egg. If he didn't apply some medicine, he'd probably be stared at for days.
"Um?"
"I'll get the medicine box."
He took out some liniment from the medicine box, pursed his dry lips, clenched his fists, and didn't know what to do next. Ye Man reached out and poked his arm, gesturing for him to sit down in the chair.
"The medicine has a very strong smell."
The medicine her father found was supposedly prepared by an old traditional Chinese medicine doctor whose skills had been passed down for more than ten generations, and he usually didn't share the recipe with outsiders.
He Zhangcheng didn't find the smell too strong; on the contrary, he closed his eyes and didn't dare to breathe too hard. What kind of soap did she use? Why does it smell so good? His nostrils were filled with her sweet scent.
