In the corridor, Zheng Bin hummed a song and left. When have you seen Old Zhao shy? It’s worth coming back today.

As soon as he left the hospital, he was stopped by someone who was a female wearing a yellow scarf in the ward just now.

“Comrade Chen Lingling, what’s the matter?” Zheng Bin asked with a smile on his face.

Chen Lingling asked, “Commander Zheng, was the one just now really Commander Zhao’s wife?”

“Of course it’s true, can this kind of thing be false? Old Zhao has already applied for his wife to join the army.”

“But, how long did Commander Zhao know her?”

Zheng Bin said: “There is no such thing as fate, it is coming when it comes. Look at Old Zhao, who has been single for twenty-eight years. Many people wanted to match him before, but none of them were successful. This time, when he came home, he met his younger sister. The two immediately saw each other and got married immediately. This is fate.”

“They only got along for a few days. Does she have a common language with Commander Zhao? Does she understand Commander Zhao’s ideals and ambitions? Jiayi—”

“Lingling, stop talking.” A girl walked over again and interrupted Chen Lingling, “Commander Zheng, Ah Ling is talking nonsense, don’t take it to heart.”

“It’s all right,” Zheng Bin waved his hand and asked the two of them, “Xiao Lin and Xiao Chen are going back to the military region or where? If you go back, I’ll take you on the way.”

“No, thank you, Commander Zheng, we still want to take a stroll.” Lin Jiayi declined.

“Then you should be careful.” Zheng Bin nodded and separated from the two of them, muttering in secret as he walked, “Old Zhao is so incomprehensible. The beauty is not shallow, the girls he meets are more beautiful than the others. God doesn’t open his eyes.”

Watching him leave, Chen Lingling pulled Lin Jiayi’s sleeves, “Jiayi, why didn’t you let me finish just now?”

“What’s the use of saying it? It will only make people laugh.” Lin Jiayi frowned slightly.

Chen Lingling was unwilling to say: “I don’t understand, what is so good about that girl from the countryside? Just a beautiful face, do these men only look at their faces? Jiayi, you liked Battalion Commander Zhao for so long, why did she snatch him away as soon as she appeared?”

Lin Jiayi looked melancholy: “How can it be considered a robbery? It wasn’t mine in the first place. I like him and it’s my own business. Commander Zhao has never given me hope that I shouldn’t have.”

“Anyway, I’m just not worth it for you!” Chen Lingling stomped her foot, “Did you see the clothes she was wearing? The clothes are full of dirt, it really comes from the countryside!”

“Even if it’s dirt, it’s still very beautiful. When she comes in, everyone’s eyes are unconsciously focused on her, as if she is on a stage alone. She sees Commander Zhao with such gentle eyes, and is being watched by her, how could anyone not be tempted?”

“Oh, why are you like this!” Chen Lingling was about to annoy her, “Who is the one with you? Why do you keep complimenting your love rival?!”

Lin Jiayi smiled bitterly, “I don’t even have the qualifications to be her love rival. She and Commander Zhao are indeed a good match. Lingling, you should not tell others that I like Commander Zhao in the future. Otherwise, people will misunderstand.”

Chen Lingling was so angry that she waved her hand indiscriminately, “I know, I know, I won’t take care of it anymore.”

In the ward, Jiang Rui and Zhao Nan naturally did not continue.

It was not early and the nurse brought dinner to Zhao Nan. Jiang Rui brought the money and food stamps herself, after asking for directions, went to the hospital cafeteria to eat.

It was getting dark after coming back, Zhao Nan was currently the only one living in this ward and Jiang Rui could spend the night in another bed tonight.

She sorted out the luggage she had brought, took out towels, tooth bowls, and other toiletries, and went to the water room to brush her teeth and wash her face. She brought along a bottle of boiling water to Zhao Nan when she came back.

It’s not that Zhao Nan’s legs can’t go to the ground, but he needs to use crutches. He touches the ground with one foot and this is enough for him. He stood by himself and washed a little, and then went to the bathroom on the crutches.

Jiang Rui didn’t offer to help him, nor was he weak enough to be helped.

When he returned to the room, she locked the door, closed the curtains, and pulled up the curtain between the two beds.

Zhao Nan was puzzled: “Did you go to bed so early?”

Jiang Rui poked her head out from behind the curtain, curled her eyes, smiled, and said, “I want to take a bath. Uncle is not allowed to peek.”

Zhao Nan snorted and his face started to get hot again.

The thin curtains can only cut off people’s sight, but can not block the sense of smell and hearing. Even because they can’t see, the originally small sound is amplified.

The sound of water being picked up could be heard all around his ears. Zhao Nan could even imagine how the water in the towel was squeezed out, how it dripped back into the basin, and how it splashed on the ground.

There was a brief silence after the sound of water.

No, it’s not quiet, there are other sounds.

The moisture-rich towel rubbed against the smooth skin, making a very slight rustling sound.

The skin that was originally fair and delicate will become tender and smooth after being exposed to water. Every piece of skin was soaked with water and every corner was stained with the fragrance of soap. The water vapor and fragrance mixed to form the faint warm fragrance that he was familiar with.

His throat rolled up and down unconsciously and his mouth swallowed unconsciously. Zhao Nan tried his best to control himself, but his eyes were as unrestrained as weeds growing wildly. He secretly, secretly, glanced at the curtain like a thief.

It stands to reason that he should not be able to see anything, but he overlooked one thing, the light will reflect the shadow on the curtain.

There is a slender figure on the curtain, with long limbs, a thin waist, exquisite undulations…

Zhao Nan turned his eyes away with difficulty, not daring to look again. His ears were filled with the sound of a drum-like heartbeat. He even wondered whether such a violent voice would be discovered by the people behind the curtain.

After Jiang Rui finished scrubbing, she opened the curtain and saw Zhao Nan sitting upright by the bed like a bronze statue.

“You haven’t laid down yet? How about I wipe your body too?”

“…No need.” Zhao Nan followed her figure with his eyes, seeing her walking back and forth in the room like a brisk little butterfly. The pale and oppressive ward became full of vitality and warmth after having her.

Seeing her start to make up another bed, Zhao Nan said, “Sleep here at night.”

“Huh? Do you want to sleep in a bed? But the bed is so narrow, will it touch your legs?”

“No, you sleep on the right side.” It was his left leg that was hurt.

“Then let me smell it first.” Jiang Rui suddenly approached him and sniffed his neck.

Zhao Nan froze all over and his throat rolled violently.

Jiang Rui saw it in her eyes and chuckled: “It’s okay to sleep together. But I wash it fragrantly but your body smells of sweat, so you have to take a shower.”

In Zhao Nan’s heart, heaven and human beings are fighting. It’s not that he doesn’t like cleaning, but in this situation, it must be difficult for him to take a bath by himself. Jiang Rui has to help him. But he was not sure at all, can he control his body’s reaction when she helped him take a bath? If she sees something that she shouldn’t see, where should he put his face?

But he was very reluctant to give up the opportunity for the two of them to share the same bed, to give up that warm and soft body.

After a while, Zhao Nan nodded.

Jiang Rui went to get another bottle of boiling water. The hot water poured into the basin. She raised her hand to take off Zhao Nan’s clothes.

“I’ll do it.” Zhao Nan quickly blocked her hand.

“Then you can do it yourself.” Jiang Rui sat on the edge of the bed, propped her chin, and waited calmly for him to take off.

Under such gazes, the simple task of undressing has become a difficult task. Zhao Nan saw the smile in Jiang Rui’s eyes and knew that she did it on purpose, but he was helpless and indulgent.

He took off his sweater slowly and there was still a shirt inside. He felt as if every time he undid a button, Jiang Rui’s eyes became brighter. The appearance of looking straight at him without shyness was like a hooligan who was eager to try and molest a good woman.

Zhao Nan shook his head in his heart. He finished taking off the last shirt and did not intend to take off the bottom one.

Jiang Rui looked at his upper body carefully, puffed her mouth, and said in dissatisfaction: “You are thinner than when you were at home and there are many small wounds.”

Those were the traces left by the latest mission. Zhao Nan was getting used to it, and he still wanted to comfort her: “I will recover soon.”

“I hope so.” Jiang Rui wrung out the towel, put a little soap on it, and wiped it down from his neck little by little.

After wiping his upper body quickly, she pulled Zhao Nan’s pants very naturally.

Zhao Nan hurriedly took care of it, and squatted: “You don’t need to wash it below.”

“How can you not need to wash it?” Jiang Rui glanced at him, as if thinking of something, and suddenly smirked: “It’s just wiping your body, do you think of something? Or is there something strange to hide so that I don’t find out?”

Zhao Nan’s face turned red, his eyes wandered, and he forced himself to calm down: “How can there be anything strange? Don’t think too much about it.”

“I didn’t think too much and you shouldn’t think too much.” Jiang Rui covered her mouth and smiled.

One of the two wanted to take off the other’s trousers, while the other was holding on to prevent them from taking off. After a stalemate for a while, Jiang Rui took a step back: “How about this, I’ll twist the towel for you and go out first, can you do it yourself?”

Zhao Nan immediately nodded in agreement. Even if it was a bit difficult to wash by himself, he had to overcome the difficulties.

In short, he can’t let his little wife wash his strange things.

When both of them finished washing, it was already dark. Jiang Rui put the changed clothes in the washbasin and stuffed them under the bed, planning to wash them again tomorrow morning.

The lights were turned off and the two lay down on the bed.

After being separated for a long time and finally being reunited, there should be a lot of small things to say. Jiang Rui also wanted to speak with him, but there is one fact that cannot be ignored.

“Uncle.” She suddenly called out sweetly.

Zhao Nan immediately tensed up. Whenever his wife called him that, he had a bad premonition.

Sure enough, Jiang Rui said innocently: “Uncle seems to have something strange on me, do you know what it is?”

There was a moment of silence in the ward and Zhao Nan coughed abruptly.
