Chapter 38: Simply coming back to live (2)
Why did he come back suddenly?
While Xia Wan'an was thinking, she heard footsteps outside the restaurant.
Without thinking, she reached out to bring the soup at the opposite table and poured half a bowl into her mouth. After confirming that there would be no trace, she put the bowl back on the table.
Just at this time, Han Jingnian's figure had already appeared at the entrance of the restaurant.
Xia Wan'an was about to turn his head to look at him, and then from the corner of his eyes he glanced at the words he wrote on the table. Seeing that there were a few words that had not yet been dried, he could vaguely recognize what it was, so he raised his hand in panic and wiped off the words that were stained with oil. Then he looked at the door with some guilt and smiled calmly at Han Jingnian who had already walked into the restaurant: "Are you back?"
Han Jingnian replied with the word "Yeah" for the first time, and then his eyes fell on the table.
He saw her in a hurry just now, as if she was hiding something, but he didn't see anything except some oil stains on the table...
Only she drank half a bowl of soup, and seemed to have written a word, which was... "Wei"?
But she was quite strange. Why did she put two bowls and chopsticks when dining alone?
Xia Wan'an saw Han Jingnian staring at the two pairs of bowls and chopsticks in front of him, and immediately spoke guiltily: "...a pair of chopsticks fell to the ground..."
After a pause, Xia Wan'an spoke again: "That... have you had supper? Do you want it..."
Before she finished speaking, he spoke, his tone as light as ever: "I've eaten it."
"Oh, I'll clean up." As Xia Wan'an said that, she fell on the dining table with a little disappointed look.
Han Jingnian poured a glass of water in the restaurant and went to the study.
After Xia Wan'an packed up his things, he read the book for a while and then went back to the master bedroom.
She saw that it was still early, and she thought that Han Jingnian would not be able to come back to the bedroom for a while. After taking a shower, she sat by the bed and applied medicine to her back.
As soon as she finished painting her left shoulder, the bedroom door was pushed open, and Han Jingnian walked in.
Although he had an intimate contact with her, Xia Wan'an still wrapped her bathrobe on her body conditioned and reflexively.
She was about to go to the bathroom to apply medicine, but as soon as she got up, she was blocked by him.
He didn't say anything, but reached out to take the ointment from her hand, then pulled her to sit on the bed, took off her bathrobe and put medicine on her back.
Xia Wan'an was so nervous that she didn't dare to breathe for a moment. The room was very quiet, and a faint fragrance of Chinese herbal medicine surrounded the two.
Not long after, the medicine was finished, but Han Jingnian's fingertips stayed on Xia Wan'an's waist and did not leave for a long time.
Han Jingnian came out again, and Xia Wan'an had already put on her pajamas and lay on the bed.
He rarely went home for two years, but every time he went home, that was inevitable. Xia Wan'an thought tonight was no exception, but she didn't expect that after Han Jingnian lay down, he closed his eyes and looked like he fell asleep.
Xia Wan'an turned his head incredibly and looked at Han Jingnian again... Is he... simply coming back to live?
