Chapter 68: Seemingly Understood
Yin Lingyan washed slowly, and after a while, the water temperature gradually began to cool. She wanted to turn on the hot water, but thinking that it was medicinal water, she gave up. She then put on her bathrobe and walked to the bed, but she didn’t know how to call Han Wuyu.
Yin Lingyan lay on the bed, thinking and thinking about how to call him. As she thought, her eyelids started to feel heavy, and slowly, slowly she… fell asleep.
Han Wuyu waited for a long time without any response. He knocked on the door, but there was no reaction. He twisted open the room door and saw Yin Lingyan asleep.
Han Wuyu was stunned, then shook his head helplessly. He gently opened the door and walked in, slowly lifting the quilt. The shocking wounds were exposed to his eyes. He tenderly applied the ointment. Perhaps the ointment was too cold, which startled Yin Lingyan awake. She reflexively grabbed the hand that was causing the coldness on her body.
Han Wuyu’s wrist was thus held in her hand, but her hand was small and his was more robust, so she couldn’t hold it tightly. Upon seeing that it was Han Wuyu, she awkwardly withdrew her hand.
“You finished washing but didn’t call me. Were you planning to let your wounds get infected?” Han Wuyu’s tone had a hint of reprimand, but it stemmed from worry.
Yin Lingyan could only obediently listen at this moment. The coolness on her back felt somewhat comfortable when applied to the wounds.
“After I finish applying it, you can turn onto your front,” Han Wuyu said with some heartache, looking at her painful expression as she lay on her front.
“Mhm,” Yin Lingyan nodded, inwardly cheering with joy. She didn’t know how long she had endured this position; it was too uncomfortable.
………………
“Snore, snore~~” As Han Wuyu gently applied the ointment, he heard Yin Lingyan’s snoring gradually grow louder. He truly didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
“She fell asleep again.” Han Wuyu looked at her dotingly, then slowly turned her over. However, all that spring scenery entered his eyes, and Han Wuyu immediately felt his mouth go dry.
He suppressed the stirring in his heart and slowly pulled the quilt up for her. Yin Lingyan slept peacefully like this.
Meanwhile, Yin Lingchen was frantically searching for Yin Lingyan. Just as he was about to go crazy, a text message arrived: Brother, I’m fine, don’t worry about me.
Seeing this message, Yin Lingchen finally relaxed. Han Wuyu slowly placed her mobile phone on the living room table and entered the room, where the sound of rushing water could be heard.
………………………
The next day. Yin Lingyan had slept soundly all night, but it was different for Han Wuyu. Every time he closed his eyes, that glimpse of snow-white appeared in his mind, lingering and unerasable. He struggled on the bed for half the night in annoyance before finally falling asleep, and woke up early in the morning.
He wanted to have breakfast with her, not wanting her to leave early like last time. As expected, when he opened the door, he saw a furtive figure. This time, he wouldn’t be like last time.
“Don’t you want your mobile phone anymore?”
A clear and cold voice suddenly reached Yin Lingyan’s ears. She reflexively let out a cry and saw Han Wuyu suddenly appear before her.
“Ah? Right, where’s my mobile phone? Brother must be worried sick about me.” Yin Lingyan thought this but ended up saying it out loud. Han Wuyu knew she was worried about her brother’s concern.
“I sent a message to your brother yesterday.” Han Wuyu coolly walked to the living room, pocketed a certain item from the table, and then unhurriedly walked into the kitchen.
Yin Lingyan helplessly followed him into the kitchen, holding out her hands, “Mobile phone.”
“Eat first.” But Han Wuyu didn’t even look at her, just said these three words.
