But at the thought of his injury, Tang Suiyu chickened out.
She obediently knelt by his side again.
"No way, I won’t! I’m a doctor, unlike you, a medical ignoramus! Your body is the most important!" Tang Suiyu wiped his body, her face reddening as she met his clear, cold black eyes and then looked away.
"For the sake of your body! How about you tell me about your time abroad? It’ll distract you!" Tang Suiyu smiled sweetly at him.
Ye Gushen held her small hand, "Telling you is boring, let’s go together when we have time."
"But you’re very busy!" Tang Suiyu lowered her head slightly.
In the future, they might rarely get a chance to meet.
When she married him, she should have known it wasn’t going to be easy, it wasn’t going to be simple!
They both had responsibilities.
He protected the country, while she guarded their small home.
She was now particularly afraid of hearing about Ye Gushen being injured, or even seeing blood, which she wasn’t scared of before.
She feared the blood would keep flowing, like in her dream, he sacrificed himself and left her.
"No matter how busy I am, I will make time to be with you! I still have leave every year." Ye Gushen gently rubbed the back of her hand with his finger, "Ruannuan, do you miss me?"
"I did, especially when you didn’t come to pick me up, and Lin Shang came instead, it made me miss you more. You were obviously back already but didn’t come to see me first thing, I knew something had happened to you!"
She had guessed right, but she wished she had been wrong.
Ye Gushen was busy with work, not lying in bed because of poor health.
When she saw his pale face at that time, she could hardly believe it; her chest ached like ten thousand arrows piercing her heart, worse than being injured herself!
"It was an accident, it won’t happen again," Ye Gushen stared at her slightly lowered face, "Look at me!"
Tang Suiyu reluctantly looked up and met his gaze, "You want it to happen again? Do you want me to keep worrying about you?"
"Of course, I don’t want you to worry about me. When you’re at home, I’ll definitely come back to see you, no matter where I am!"
Their gazes met, each reflecting the image of the other.
She suddenly smiled, "You’re so amazing, I believe in you!"
"I will never betray my wife’s trust!"
While Ye Gushen was recuperating, after dinner, she lay on the hard bed, unable to get comfortable no matter how she turned.
"Mmm..." She placed her small hand in his palm, "Uncle Ye, are you still in pain? Do you want some painkillers? Or an anesthetic shot?"
Ye Gushen said seriously, "If you kiss me, it might not hurt."
"Hmph! You’re finding ways to take advantage of me!"
"What’s wrong with taking advantage of my own wife?" Ye Gushen lowered his head close to her little face, "You must be tired, sleep early."
"But your bed is so hard!" She still wasn’t used to sleeping on such a hard bed.
In the end, Tang Suiyu laid another layer of quilt under the big bed, just on her side, of course.
She slept comfortably and when she woke up the next day, that side of the quilt was already off the bed, while she cuddled in Ye Gushen’s arms, having slept soundly all night.
Sui Sui’s big eyes rolled around, she slowly blinked, wondering why there was no quilt?
