Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Luo Jin’an felt a genuine warmth at this moment. He began feeling sleepy as time passed and could barely keep his eyes open. However, he did not allow himself to sleep, trying to keep his eyes open to see Su Binglan.
Meanwhile, Su Binglan poured her Soul Powers into the silver needles to dispel the cold air from her husband’s body and suppress the cold poison. Su
Binglan used up much of her Soul Powers and felt tired. Still, she would not let Luo Jin’an see that.
She looked at her husband’s expression and softened her tone. “Sleep for a while. You’ll feel better when you wake up.”
Her heart ached because she knew how severe the cold poison was and how much pain Luo Jin’an had to endure. She could not bear to say anything harsh because she felt sorry for her husband.
Luo Jin’an said weakly, “It’s okay.”
He only wanted to see her. He did not know when he would wake up and feared he was only dreaming.
Su Binglan met his gaze and understood his thoughts. “Don’t worry. I’ll be right beside you when you wake up. 1 promise you’ll see me again.”
She bent down and looked into Luo Jin’an’s eyes as she continued, “Please, sleep. Otherwise, I’ll get worried.”
She also revealed a trace of weakness at that moment because she feared something terrible would happen to her husband. Her eyes were red, causing Luo Jin’an’s heart to ache.
Luo Jin’an reached out and stroked his wife’s hair, sighing softly. Then he said in a low, hoarse voice, “Okay, I’ll sleep.”
He noticed the exhaustion in Su Binglan’s eyes and brows at a close distance, so he caressed her brows with his delicate fingers, saying, “You should rest too.”
Luo Jin’an felt sorry for his wife and blamed himself for everything. However, he had some things in his heart he could not say.
Still, Su Binglan understood. “All right. I’ll go to sleep after your acupuncture treatment, okay?”
Indeed, Luo Jin’an was exhausted and could barely keep his eyes open. After holding on for a while longer, he finally fell asleep.
Su Binglan sighed in relief after performing acupuncture. She looked at her sleeping husband and tucked him in. Her acupuncture treatment was supposed to have a hypnotic effect, so he would want to sleep.
Previously, Luo Jin’an could not sleep because of the cold poison. This time, he could finally sleep peacefully.
The doctor and Wei Ying looked at Su Binglan, not knowing what was happening. Su Binglan asked, “Is there somewhere Jin’an can take a medicine bath here?”
The doctor became excited when he heard the young lady’s words. “D-Do you want to prepare a medicine bath, Madam? There’s a bathtub here.”
Su Binglan said, “I’ll use it to concoct a simple medicine bath. Please burn some firewood below and add the medicine for Jin’an to bathe later.”
She had concocted some pills at home, and the medical effects were much better than just using medicinal herbs. She intended to mix the pills into hot water when bathing Luo Jin’an later.
“Yes, Madam. We’ll do that right away.” The doctor was also a Wei family member, and his name was Wei Cheng. Old General Wei had saved him when he was younger, so Wei Cheng adopted the family’s surname.
Su Binglan paused when she heard “Madam” but did not say anything.
Soon, Wei Cheng finished arranging everything needed for the medicine bath. Then, Su Binglan politely asked him to leave and bathed Luo Jin’an. After tidying him up, she placed him on the bed.
However, Su Binglan frowned when she noticed how cold the bed was. Still, Luo Jin’an slept soundly as if he had taken sleeping pills. Perhaps he subconsciously felt a familiar and reassuring presence that he could sleep deeper.
Su Binglan busied herself and replaced the blanket with her duvet before opening the door and letting someone in. Lin Zheng entered and asked, “Master, how is Grandmaster feeling?”
“He’s okay. He’ll feel much better after a good night’s sleep.” Soon after, Su Binglan also asked Lin Zheng, Blue Two, and Blue Three to rest while Wei Cheng made some arrangements.
Then Su Binglan washed up and looked at Luo Jin’an from the bedside, unwilling to blink. She reached out to touch the scar on his face.
‘I can use this medicine to remove his scar, but he doesn’t want me to. He says it reminds him of the Wei family’s experiences. He also said it could hide his identity.’
Su Binglan could not help but wonder what Luo Jin’an had experienced in the past when she saw his scar. She only felt more at ease when she looked at him.
She did not rest much along the way and used much of her Soul Powers when she arrived, rendering her exhausted. Hence, she also fell into a deep sleep by Luo Jin’an’s bed.
Luo Jin’an had a relaxed and comfortable sleep. He felt much better after waking up the following day. He revealed a gentle expression, and his eyes were full of affection when he opened his eyes and saw Su Binglan lying by his bedside.
Since she held his hand while sleeping, he dared not move, afraid he would disturb her sleep. Luo Jin’an’s heart ached for her, too.
It was almost noon when Su Binglan woke and saw Luo Jin’an. She smiled gently. “You’re already awake?”
“Yes, I am. Didn’t I tell you to go to bed yesterday? Why are you sleeping by my bed like this?”
Su Binglan rubbed her eyes, saying, “l forgot.”
Luo Jin’an wanted to caress his wife’s hair, but when he moved his hand, he realized it was numb.
“Are your hands numb?” Su Binglan asked. After all, she had held Luo Jin’an’s hand and used his arm as a pillow.
“I’m fine.” Although he said that, Su Binglan knew his hand was numb. So, she pulled his arm over and rubbed it.
“l can do it myself,” Luo Jin’an said.
“That’s okay. Let me help.” Su Binglan was insistent, and Luo Jin’an could do nothing about it.
“You must be tired from your journey, right?”
“It’s all right.” Su Binglan shook her head.
“Did you face any dangers along the way?” Luo Jin’an could not imagine how his wife managed to reach him. Furthermore, it was frigid at the border. He could not bear to see her work so hard.
“No, I didn’t.’
‘Those who opposed me were in danger, not me.’
Su Binglan added, “Since it’s colder here, why aren’t you sleeping here instead of the brick bed?”
“The houses in this village were built a few months ago,” Luo Jin’an said, “No one knows how to build brick beds anymore,”
Su Binglan said, “Well, I do, so I’ll build one. It’s too cold around here, and you shouldn’t be sleeping on a regular bed instead of a heated brick one.”
“I’ll get people to come over,” Luo Jin’an said, “Then you can teach them to build brick beds instead of doing everything yourself. Just rest, please.”
“It’s okay. I feel re-energized after sleeping last night.” Su Binglan could replenish her powers with just a nap. “What do you think of this duvet?”
Luo Jin’an was about to mention it when his wife asked. He lowered his head and said, “It’s nice and warm. I didn’t feel the cold wind last night.. You brought this here, right?”
