Chapter 85 Springtime Revealed Again

Chu Junbai quickly looked away.

My legs went numb from being on the table for so long because of poor blood circulation.

He rubbed his leg before taking it off.

The fire in the stove had burned all the charcoal, so the fire was burning very brightly, and the stove itself had turned bright red.

At that moment, a cry of pain came from the bed.

"pain!"

Mu Xiaowan placed her hand on the wound on her neck and cried out in pain.

Seeing that she was still asleep, Chu Junbai quickly grabbed her hand to prevent her from scratching her wound. He only removed his hand after Mu Xiaowan calmed down.

Then he pulled the blanket up to cover the snow-white area.

Chu Junbai's face burned as if it had been roasted in an oven when he saw the small black cloth on the ground.

He grabbed all the clothes, shook off the dirt, placed them at the foot of the bed, and didn't look at them again.

This was the first time he had ever seen someone sleep so restlessly.

The thermos was placed on the table.

The temperature inside is too high right now, so it's definitely not necessary.

I'm worried the fire will die down soon.

He added another piece of charcoal before sitting back down to continue sleeping.

……

Mu Xiaowan slept well this time.

She woke up naturally, and when she stretched her back halfway, she froze.

"His!"

I have a muscle cramp, it hurts so much!

She slowly relaxed her body, and was about to take a look at the situation inside the room when she heard voices outside the door. She couldn't quite make out the voices, so she rubbed her ears.

"Captain, your door is tightly shut, and you won't let us in. Are you perhaps keeping a mistress hidden away?"

"Let us take one look, just one look."

"Yes, Captain, is that your wife inside? We've all heard from Xiao Lin that she's very beautiful. Please let us meet her."

Mu Xiaowan had previously served under He Yongsheng and had never been to Chu Junbai's territory, so her arrival caused a stir among the special forces.

Upon hearing that a woman was sleeping in the captain's room, the special forces members were all very curious and wanted to see the woman's face.

They came over several times this morning but didn't see it, so they came over again now that they're having lunch.

Unfortunately, the captain protected them so well that they couldn't see anything.

"Get out of here, everyone. Go do what you're supposed to do." Chu Junbai had just returned from washing up, carrying a basin in his hand and a white towel draped over his shoulder.

Seeing a group of boys peering into the house, his expression turned cold.

Mu Xiaowan doesn't wear clothes.

"Immediately move five meters away from the door, or you'll have to run ten kilometers."

Upon hearing this, the group of soldiers immediately retreated.

Some of the bolder ones complained in hushed tones.

"Captain, you're so stingy. You didn't invite us to your wedding, fine, but you brought your wife to the army and won't even let us see her. That's too much."

When they saw Chu Junbai's gaze sweep over them, they immediately shut up and ran away.

Mu Xiaowan's hearing wasn't quite up to par yet, and the familiar footsteps approached, sometimes clear, sometimes blurry. But they all conveyed the same message to her—Chu Junbai was about to come in.

She hurriedly looked for clothes, but her movements were too large, and she accidentally pulled at the wound on her neck, making her wince in pain.

Just as she hesitated, Chu Junbai pushed open the door.

All I could see was a blanket of white.

Mu Xiaowan's backlight was fair and smooth, like a soft, smooth dough.

In just one glance, the next second, Mu Xiaowan, like a slippery eel, pulled up the blanket and slipped inside.

A large bulge immediately appeared on the bed.

Chu Junbai's ears visibly changed color.

He quickly went out and closed the door.

Mu Xiaowan was extremely annoyed.

This is the second time.

Don't dare to delay.

She quickly found some clothes and put them on while the door was closed.

How did she end up with Chu Junbai?

Mu Xiaowan finished dressing and glanced around the room.

The room was simply furnished. There was a washbasin stand by the door, a table and a chair a short distance away, and a map on the wall. There was also a cot and a stove, and against the back wall was a two-door cabinet, presumably for storing Chu Junbai's clothes.

The fire in the stove was burning brightly, and a large kettle on top of it was bubbling and steaming.

Mu Xiaowan was only wearing a thermal undershirt and didn't feel cold at all.

I still occasionally hear a buzzing sound in my ears.

She glanced at the doorway before saying, "I'm ready!"

This scene looks very familiar.

This happened just a few days ago.

Chu Junbai pushed the door open and came in. He didn't look at Mu Xiaowan and put the washbasin on the washbasin stand.

"Since you're up, go wash up. Lunch will be ready soon. Are you coming to the cafeteria with me, or should I get some food?"

Chu Junbai was originally going to go out, but he was worried about leaving Mu Xiaowan alone here.

While waiting for Mu Xiaowan, he exercised for a while, then washed up after sweating.

"Lunch? What time is it?" Mu Xiaowan raised her wrist in surprise to check the time.

Good heavens, I can't believe it's almost midnight.

"Is this a military base? Why am I sleeping here? Will my family be worried about me since they couldn't wait for me last night?"

Mu Xiaowan found a sweater and put it on, looking like she was about to leave.

"I already called and told them," Chu Junbai said coolly.

"Don't you remember what happened last night?"

Mu Xiaowan paused in folding the blankets. "I remember now. There was a thief in the warehouse last night. Brother Ye and I went to catch the thief, and I was taken hostage by him."

"Then I heard gunshots, and then I knew nothing more. How did I end up here with you?"

Even if Mu Xiaowan racked her brains, she couldn't figure out why she was here.

A pain shot through her neck, and she frowned, reaching out to rub the wound.

"I'm injured?"

Chu Junbai's eyes flashed with mockery, and he said with disdain, "You're really stupid and clumsy."

"They didn't even consider their own safety, putting themselves in danger. They didn't even know how many lives they had."

He picked up the bubbling kettle and mixed a little of it into the washbasin.

"You were lucky this time, only getting a minor scratch. But if you're so arrogant next time, it's hard to say whether you'll survive."

Mu Xiaowan was scolded, but she didn't refute it. Chu Junbai was right to scold her; he was just showing concern for her.

Last night was indeed dangerous; she shouldn't have been so overconfident.

Seeing that Mu Xiaowan remained silent, Chu Junbai softened his tone.

“The hospital was full last night, so I had to bring you here.”

"What have you been busy with these past few days? Why did you end up using Grandpa's house?"

"I've been busy with the shop these past few days. It's opening soon, so I've been tidying up this and that. It's normal to be a little tired when there's so much to do."

Mu Xiaowan spoke with conviction; there was indeed a lot to do these past two days, with clearing the land being the busiest task. The entire first floor hadn't been cleaned.

The second floor also needs to be cleaned again.

After cleaning, we still have to stock up on goods; the work is never-ending.

"You can ask someone for help."

"Hiring someone isn't cost-effective. Shaoqing and I are just sitting around doing nothing. We'll clean up whenever we can."

"I have something to do today, so I'll skip lunch. Is the bus stop far from here?"

Mu Xiaowan folded the quilt neatly and looked for her coat.

Chu Junbai frowned again as he looked at the messily folded blankets.

Mu Xiaowan felt a little guilty.

Compared to Chu Junbai, who is a professional, she is someone who doesn't even know how to fold a blanket.

But even so, she had done her best.

"Thank you for yesterday!"

"No rush, let's eat first before we leave."

Chu Junbai took the lunchbox and went out.

Mu Xiaowan had to take off her cotton-padded jacket halfway through, as it was unnecessary in the room and would be too hot to wear.

Mu Xiaowan took the towel and warm water that Chu Junbai had prepared and washed her face.

The towel still smells of soap.

This is the scent that Chu Junbai wears; it smells very nice.

She didn't dare to soak her face completely, and without applying face cream, she knew her face would crack if she washed it wet in this freezing weather.

There was no mirror in the room, so she couldn't see the wound on her neck.

If the injury wasn't serious, how come she fell into a deep sleep and knew nothing?
