“Small business? What kind of business are you planning to do?”
“I want to make some beauty products. When I was in the countryside before, I happened to meet an old traditional Chinese medicine doctor who was traveling around. I helped him unintentionally, and I learned from him for a while.”
Zhu Nuannuan explained as she walked. She had already thought of a countermeasure. No matter how capable Cui Yunhan was, he couldn’t possibly find an old traditional Chinese medicine doctor who was traveling around.
“I haven’t heard anyone say that an old traditional Chinese medicine doctor came to the village. Where did you meet him?” Cui Yunhan asked calmly, probing.
Zhu Nuannuan, as if she hadn’t noticed his little thoughts, continued to answer, “I met him once when I was collecting herbs in the mountains. At the time, I felt that he was quite pitiful being alone, so I shared half of the dry food I had brought with him.
Seeing that I was diligent and eager to learn, he taught me a little, and also gave me a medical book. Slowly, I learned.”
Cui Yunhan silently followed behind Zhu Nuannuan, not continuing to ask. Her answer could be said to be seamless. No matter what he asked, she could say that she learned it from that medical book.
Zhu Nuannuan also went to a traditional Chinese medicine shop to buy some medicinal herbs before preparing to go back.
Cui Yunhan, carrying the things, looked at Zhu Nuannuan, who was staggering as she walked, and frowned. Her body was really too weak. She had only walked this far and was already starting to stagger.
Zhu Nuannuan secretly complained that this body was too weak. She had only walked for such a short time and was already sweating profusely.
She had to stop and sit on a stone by the side of the road, “Cui Yunhan, if you’re in a hurry, go ahead, I’ll be fine after I rest for a while.”
Cui Yunhan frowned, “Your body is too weak, you need to eat more in the future.”
After saying that, he squatted down and said to Zhu Nuannuan behind him, “Get on, I’ll carry you back!”
Zhu Nuannuan quickly waved her hand, “No need, I’ll be fine after I rest for a while.”
“At your current speed, you won’t necessarily get home even if it’s dark, get on!” Cui Yunhan said, brooking no refusal.
“Thank you!”
Zhu Nuannuan didn’t decline any further. Her body hadn’t recovered yet, and she had traveled for such a long time, she really couldn’t take it anymore.
Her body was tightly pressed against Cui Yunhan’s back. His steps were steady and powerful, making her feel an unprecedented sense of security. As the sun set, they walked step by step towards the military family compound.
The setting sun shone on Cui Yunhan’s profile, highlighting his resolute outline, his eyes firm, as if her weight was insignificant to him.
Sleepiness struck, and unknowingly, she leaned on his shoulder and fell into a sweet sleep.
Cui Yunhan seemed to have noticed this, and his pace slowed down a bit.
Zhu Nuannuan opened her sleepy eyes and realized that she had fallen asleep at some point.
“Well, I’m sorry, I didn’t know I fell asleep, let me down.” Feng Xiao quickly apologized.
“It’s okay, since you’re awake, get down.” After saying that, he put her down.
Zhu Nuannuan stretched contentedly, and then noticed the suspicious puddle of water on Cui Yunhan’s shoulder.
She quickly chased after him and explained awkwardly, “Well, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to drool, I was just too tired. After we get back, I’ll wash this shirt for you.”
Cui Yunhan stopped and looked down at the thin Zhu Nuannuan, saying indifferently, “It’s not a big deal, you don’t need to mind so much, I’ll also keep it a secret for you.”
Zhu Nuannuan: “…” It was too embarrassing, too socially awkward!
The two walked to the entrance of the family compound, and the guard saluted them, “Hello, Company Commander Cui, hello, Sister-in-law.”
Zhu Nuannuan smiled and quickly caught up with Cui Yunhan, who was walking in front.
The moonlight was like water, and the breeze gently brushed, gradually lengthening the shadows of the two people. Only then did the guard withdraw his gaze.
Who said that Company Commander Cui and his sister-in-law had a bad relationship? He had personally seen Company Commander Cui carry his sister-in-law back.
“Yunhan Ge, you’re back! Where did you go? I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.”
Zhu Nuannuan subconsciously looked over and saw Bai Lian waving her hand. Wang Juhua was also standing next to her, and a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes. These two were really persistent.
Bai Lian blinked at Zhu Nuannuan and said with a smile, “Sister-in-law is also here, what’s wrong with you? Why is your face so pale? How about I take a look at you?”
“No need, I’m very healthy.” Zhu Nuannuan refused directly.
Hearing this, Bai Lian’s eyes instantly turned red, and she said aggrievedly, “Comrade Niu, are you still angry about what happened yesterday? Don’t misunderstand, Yunhan Ge and I are just colleagues, I was just worried about his injuries, and I was just anxious…”
Wang Juhua, who was standing on the side, couldn’t stand it anymore, “Comrade Zhu, be forgiving and lenient. Comrade Bai Lian is just concerned about Company Commander Cui’s injuries, what’s wrong with that?”
“Sister-in-law Wang, it’s my fault. If I hadn’t been anxious, Comrade Niu wouldn’t have misunderstood. I’ll leave now.”
After saying that, Bai Lian pretended to walk in the other direction.
Wang Juhua grabbed her, “What’s wrong with you? It’s this bitch… You just wanted to check Company Commander Cui’s injuries. You used to do these things before, why can’t you do them anymore now that she’s here?”
Bai Lian’s eyes were filled with tears, like a pool of clear spring water, casting a loving glance at Cui Yunhan, conveying her love.
“I should still leave, otherwise Yunhan Ge will be in a difficult position.”
“Well, you’re quite self-aware.” Zhu Nuannuan looked at the white lotus in front of her, who seemed too weak to take care of herself, rolled her eyes, took two steps towards Cui Yunhan, reached out and gently took his arm, leaning against him.
Zhu Nuannuan’s sudden action surprised Cui Yunhan for a moment, but he didn’t say much.
Seeing this scene, Bai Lian’s face instantly turned pale, biting her lower lip, seemingly suppressing some emotion, looking at Cui Yunhan with teary eyes, as if expecting something.
Unfortunately, Cui Yunhan seemed not to have seen it, letting Zhu Nuannuan lean against him.
“Don’t you have any shame? You… shameless in public!”
Wang Juhua scolded angrily, at a loss for words for a moment.
Zhu Nuannuan was not a pushover and would not allow herself to be bullied.
“Sister-in-law Wang, I’m holding my husband’s arm, what’s it to you? If you can’t stand it, you can go hold your husband’s hand, or are you sticking up for this white lotus comrade next to you?”
“I didn’t, don’t talk nonsense here, I just can’t stand your flirtatious look.”
Wang Juhua didn’t expect Zhu Nuannuan’s combat power to be stronger than she had imagined.
Zhu Nuannuan ignored her, turned her head and acted coquettishly, hugging Cui Yunhan’s arm.
“Cui Yunhan, I’m hungry after walking for so long, let’s go home~”
Cui Yunhan paused and said calmly, “Okay, let’s go home and cook.”
After saying that, he let Zhu Nuannuan pull him back.
Zhu Nuannuan thought to herself, it seems that this soldier is not without feelings for that white lotus, it seems that she has to make money as soon as possible.
