Chapter 21 Injured
Chapter 21 Injured
"Fortunately, nothing serious happened. God bless you!" Yunniang wiped away her tears with a handkerchief and went back to her room to find the ginseng passed down from her ancestors. She carefully wrapped it up and handed it to Guanqi. She took him aside and gave him some careful instructions before letting him go back to the camp.
She was almost frightened to death just now. Although she has recovered now, she has no intention of doing anything with Xue Niang. She is only thinking about Su Qinchao's injuries and wishes she could go to the military camp to take care of him herself.
Speaking of the military camp, Su Qinchao was wearing a middle-length shirt, with a bandage around his waist, exposing his chest, and his face was a little pale. He was leaning on the couch reading a military book.
Guanqi opened the military tent and walked in with a tray. Suddenly, the air was filled with the aroma of chicken soup.
Following the young mistress's instructions, he divided the ginseng into several portions, and added one portion every time he made soup as a tonic for the young master.
"Master, it's time to eat~" Guanqi set up the small table and placed the food on the table.
"Why haven't you cleaned up yet?" Su Qinchao glanced at Guanqi and picked up the bowl to drink some soup.
It is rare to see Guanqi looking so sloppy, with bloodshot eyes, dark circles under his eyes, a face full of stubble, and dirty clothes.
"Let's wait for you to have dinner first." Guan Qi said in a hoarse voice, turned his back and wiped his face.
He was worried all night yesterday, fearing that he would have a fever. This morning, Su Qinchao finally woke him up and ordered him to pass a message to the young lady. Only now did he have time to feel sad.
"What's wrong?" Hearing the wrong voice, Su Qin looked over at the person who had put down the bowl.
Seeing Guanqi with his back to him and his whole body trembling slightly, he realized belatedly that the little guy was crying.
"Don't worry, it's just a minor injury and it will heal in a few days." He reached out and pulled the man in front of him, wiped his face, and smoothed his fur.
"I'm really scared!" Whenever Guanqi thought of yesterday, when Su Qinchao was helping himself off the horse while covering his wound and covered in blood, he felt immediately frightened.
He secretly clenched his fists and made up his mind that he would practice martial arts more diligently and follow the young master to kill the Liao bandits as soon as possible.
After Su Qinchao's wound had healed, he still asked for leave and went back. He knew that Yunniang must be very scared and would not feel at ease unless she saw him in person.
Besides, he had been holding it in for more than a month and he really couldn't stand it anymore.
Sure enough, when Su Qinchao returned home, he found that Yunniang had lost a lot of weight and her face was even paler than his who was injured.
When she saw him come back, she looked incredulous until the two of them hugged each other and then she burst into tears of joy.
After crying in Su Qinchao's arms for a while, Yunniang seemed to remember something. She completely ignored the rules she had followed since childhood and hurriedly pulled Su Qinchao into the room.
He reached out and pulled open Su Qinchao's clothes, examining him carefully from head to toe.
She felt relieved only when she was sure that the only scar on his waist was that one.
"It's really okay!" Su Qinchao took her into his arms, gently kissed away the tears on her face, kissed her nose, and carried her to the couch.
An hour later, the clouds and rain stopped. Yunniang leaned in Su Qinchao's arms and gently stroked the pink scar on his waist with her bare hands.
"Does it hurt?"
"I don't feel any pain or not, but if you keep touching me, you'll have to eat dinner on the couch!" Su Qinchao only felt that his part was getting erect again.
"Husband!" Yunniang blushed and pulled the quilt over her face. She found that her husband was not in a proper state whenever he was on the couch.
"Alright, alright, husband, I won't say any more. If you continue, my sweetheart will hide away and won't come out~"
After fooling around for a while, the two men stood up. Yunniang's face was flushed with shame, and the two maids saw them come out and covered their mouths with their hands and laughed.
It was not yet time for lunch, and the two planned to go out for a walk. Just as they were about to call Guanqi to go with them, they discovered that Guanqi was practicing shooting in the courtyard. His every move was smooth and graceful.
The long spear made him look very powerful, which was quite nice to watch. Several maids and servants in the mansion stood in the corridor to peek and exclaimed from time to time.
This kid has been very diligent recently. Seeing that he was practicing very seriously, Su Qinchao didn't call him.
After instructing the servants not to prepare lunch for them, he took Yunniang's hand and went out. He planned to take her out to eat something fresh.
When they got to the street, they first visited a cosmetics shop and bought a few boxes of fashionable lip balm and pearl powder. Then they went to a clothing store and picked out two local-style summer dresses for Yunniang.
As she was about to go out with her bag filled with clothes, she bumped into a young man wearing a dark robe and with a vaguely familiar face.
No, isn't this Princess Yucheng? Why is she dressed like this and coming to the border? Su Qinchao retracted his foot that was about to step out of the door and pulled Yunniang back into the store.
But except for the shopkeeper and two waiters, the person who just came in seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.
Just as he was about to ask, he saw the shopkeeper glance upstairs and shook his head slightly at him, so he gave up and led Yunniang out again.
"Husband, what's wrong?" Yunniang took six or seven steps before asking in confusion.
"Nothing, I just thought I met an old friend, but I was wrong." Princess Yucheng must have come here for something, and Su Qinchao did not intend to tell Yunniang.
"Oh~ Husband, let's go make a pair of clay figurines!" Yunniang didn't ask much. She was very surprised to see a clay figurine stall in front of her.
"Well, what do you want to pinch, my lady?"
"Make ourselves, one for each of us." That way, when she missed him, she could look at his little clay figure.
After they finished their lunch at Wangjiang Tower, they bought some snacks and candied fruits before slowly strolling back. Yunniang was very tired today. When she got home, she lay down on the chair and didn't want to move.
In the evening, after dinner, the two took a bath together. They played in the bathroom for a long time. When the water was almost cold, they went to the couch and cuddle with each other for a while. They fell asleep in each other's arms when they were exhausted.
Guanqi lay on the couch, a tear slowly welling up in his eyes. Ever since he started practicing martial arts with the young master, his hearing has become more and more sensitive.
Although he was lying in the east wing room, two floors away from the main house, he could still vaguely hear the movements of the two people.
Ever since the young mistress came, the young master has never touched her again, and they rarely even hold hands.
Even in the military camp, no matter how uncomfortable the young master was in the morning, he would rather calm down slowly by himself than call him.
He knew that he shouldn't have any extra thoughts. It was a rare opportunity to have the young master occasionally when the young lady was not around.
But now, listening to their every move, Guanqi felt indescribable in his heart.
Even the places that the young master had touched before seemed wrong. Guanqi reached out and touched those places one by one, and finally slowly stopped at the place behind him.
That place feels the most uncomfortable, as if there's an itch coming from inside, which I can't touch or reach.
With a light touch, I couldn't help but let out a low cry, and I was so scared that I quickly covered my mouth. What am I doing! Am I masturbating?
