65 The Strange Luo Jin‘an
Luo Jin’an listened to Su Binglan’s question, and his expression changed. Still, he remained silent.
Meanwhile, Su Binglan treated it as if she was talking to herself. Either way, she still believed Luo Jin’an was kind-hearted.
After Luo Jin’an finished drinking, he instinctively went to fetch water to wash the bowl.
Su Binglan simply stood on the sidelines and watched Luo Jin’an. Only then did she notice that Luo Jin’an’s hands were jade-like, with well-defined joints and sender fingers.
Luo Jin’an possessed fingers that an excellent pianist would have in the modern era. However, seeing Luo Jin’an doing such rough tasks made Su Binglan feel like she was wasting God’s gift. She saw many calluses and wounds on Luo Jin’an’s palms and fingers.
Luo Jin’an’s calluses and wounds must’ve come from when he practiced swordsmanship while his palms were rough to the touch.
Su Binglan said, “It’s getting late. Let’s go to bed early because we have to wake up early and make tofu.”
Luo Jin’an said lightly, “Don’t worry. You go to bed first. I’ll chop some firewood.”
Even if Luo Jin’an were chopping firewood at home, he would send a portion to Su Fengmao and Shen Qiuhua. That was just how he was, so everyone in the Su family thought he was terrific. The previous Su Binglan was the only one who mistreated Luo Jin’an.
Nonetheless, Su Binglan knew it was already very late and wondered why Luo Jin’an was still busying himself.
Su Binglan blinked her eyes and said, “There’s a sound when you chop firewood, so I can’t sleep. You can chop them tomorrow when I wake up.” Su Binglan deliberately said that so Luo Jin’an would sleep. “Also, if I’m sleeping, you should sleep too.”
Luo Jin’an couldn’t refute, so he had to wash up and return to his room to sleep.
Seeing Luo Jin’an enter the room, Su Binglan turned around and looked at the firewood. She moved her hand slightly, and a stream of spiritual essence came out. Then it neatly cut the remaining thick firewood.
Of course, Su Binglan’s powers were still weak. But she became drained after using a little spiritual essence. She couldn’t withstand its power since she was in a mortal body.
Su Binglan held the door frame and slowly walked into her bedroom. She knew she would recover after a good night’s sleep.
She still needed more time to adapt to this world so the spiritual essence in her body would gradually recover and become stronger. She could do many things with more spiritual essence, but for now, she needed to focus on earning money and becoming wealthy.
Su Binglan and Luo Jin’an slept in separate rooms. She almost fell asleep not long after she laid down when she heard coughing coming from the next room.
“Cough, cough…”
The coughing sound was quite intense.
Su Binglan was a light sleeper, so she instantly woke up when she heard the coughs. She knew something was wrong.
‘Jin’an is coughing so violently. Is his sickness acting up?’
Su Binglan was in a daze from exhaustion, but she instantly woke up when she heard Luo Jin’an’s violent coughs. She didn’t waste time putting on her shoes and went to Luo Jin’an’s room and saw him lying on the brick bed.
She hurriedly approached Luo Jin’an and climbed onto the brick bed. She sat at the edge of the brick bed and asked worriedly, “Are you okay, husband?” She reached out to check Luo Jin’an’s temperature as she spoke.
Then Luo Jin’an stopped coughing and grabbed Su Binglan’s hand, forcefully pulling it. He flipped Su Binglan over, pressed her onto the bed, and locked her in place.
