"Go get me a pack of brown sugar and a bottle of mineral water." With that, she shut the door again.
Lin Junyang didn’t get angry. Fine, it’s just a pack of brown sugar, right? I don’t believe I can’t get into your room today.
Mu Xingfeng brought the backpack inside and saw the girl still looking resentful. He could only sigh silently, "The bathroom’s over there, go take a shower and change. This outfit is too thick." Saying that, he handed the backpack to her.
The military training uniform was camouflage, and in this midsummer heat, wearing it was really hot.
An Ran didn’t complain. Anyway, there would be no connection between them after the military training ended, and he said he’d wait until she grew up to be her boyfriend, so let him wait. Maybe he’ll forget about it soon.
She pulled out two pieces of clothing from the backpack and went into the bathroom to take a shower.
Mu Xingfeng, meanwhile, went into the kitchen, cooled several cups of the recently boiled water, and filled a hot water bottle, wrapping it in a towel.
Just as he finished, he heard the bathroom door opening. He came out of the kitchen with the hot water bottle and his expression darkened the moment he saw An Ran.
There she was, having changed out of the camouflage uniform into a light pink short-sleeve T-shirt and denim shorts. Her smooth, white legs were long and slim, making him dizzy.
"Go put on some pants," Mu Xingfeng said in a deep voice.
"Hm?" An Ran looked down at her lower half, confused. "I am wearing pants."
Mu Xingfeng rubbed his forehead speechlessly. "Go put on some long pants. The doctor said to keep warm."
Not knowing how else to explain, Mu Xingfeng brought up Jing Xiangyang’s instructions.
An Ran was speechless. Instructor Mu must be having a midlife crisis. He had complained about the camouflage uniform being too hot, and now that she changed into cooler clothes, he was fussing about warmth.
Having no other choice, An Ran went back to the bathroom and put on the camouflage pants.
At this time, Lin Junyang came back with the brown sugar and mineral water, excitedly ringing the doorbell. The continuous ringing gave an idea of how thrilled he was.
Mu Xingfeng opened the door and heard Lin Junyang’s voice, "Oh man, it’s so hot out there, Captain Mu. Let me come in and have a drink, I’m so thirsty."
As he spoke, he tried to push his way in.
Mu Xingfeng stood in the doorway, blocking the entrance tightly. He calmly took the bag, then took out the bottle of mineral water and handed it to Lin Junyang. "Thanks."
Then he turned around and with a "bang," closed the door.
Lin Junyang stared at the mineral water for a long time before realizing Captain Mu had made him buy it for this? This... this man is too cunning!
An Ran, hearing someone outside, was worried the person might come in and see her, feeling awkward. She wondered if she should hide in the bedroom but felt it wasn’t appropriate to go into a man’s bedroom. While she was still hesitating, Mu Xingfeng had already dominantly shut the door and took the bag to the kitchen.
Hmm, seems like she was overthinking it. An Ran sat back down on the sofa, hugging the hot water bottle.
Honestly, since she came back to the city at fifteen after her grandmother passed away and started having her period, this was the first time someone had cared for her , giving her a hot water bottle. She couldn’t deny she was touched.
But thinking that the one helping her with all this was Mu Xingfeng, her back felt cold. This man was too unreadable, and his face always so cold and aloof, like a perpetual lack of expression.
