Chapter 373 I Miss The Little Darling

Chu Ningyi left to search for some wild fruits for Shui Anluo to eat. As he watched her wolf her meal down, he reached out and stroked her hair. “Once it gets dark, we’ll head back.”

Shui Anluo nodded. She watched Chu Ningyi as he squatted and applied some herbal medicine that she could not recognize.

“You know all these herbs?” Shui Anluo asked in surprise because, as a doctor, she felt ashamed.

“I know more about herbal medicine than you,” Chu Ningyi replied calmly.

His reply was very calm but Shui Anluo slowed her eating speed down.

“I once read a serviceman’s marriage novel, it said that all special forces soldiers are versatile but they had learned all these things for the sake of survival. Is it the same for you?” Shui Anluo asked carefully.

Chu Ningyi spat out a chewed up herb and applied it evenly over her leg before replying, “It’s just fiction.”

However, the reality of it was a hundred times crueler than the novel.

Although that part of the sentence was correct, special forces soldiers were versatile and it was also for the sake of survival. They could use anything to survive under any condition.

His voice was as calm as ever as if serving in the army had not been a part of his life.

Shui Anluo slowly examined the fruit in her hand and felt a cooling sensation wash over the fiery hot pain in her legs. After dealing with the injury on her legs, he started to work on the bruises on her arms.

This man could spot the fallen tree so precisely during an uncontrollable landslide and reach the shore to find her in time. He could throw a dagger and slice seven inches off a viper with precision. He could procure the precise herbs needed for her wounds in the deep mountains.

Three bullseyes, was that not enough to describe his experience in the armed forces?

Three bullseyes, was that still not enough to say that he had never truly left that version of Chu Ningyi behind? The version of Chu Ningyi from the battlefield.

She believes that that fire must have traumatized him very deeply.

“Chu Ningyi, about that fire…” Before Shui Anluo could finish speaking, Chu Ningyi looked up at her. However, the depth in those eyes was so frightening that Shui Anluo immediately lowered her head and continued to slowly savor the fruit with one hand.

This was his taboo, a taboo that no one could bring up.

Chu Ningyi finished with her right arm then patted her left arm a little, indicating that she should hold her fruit with the other hand.

Shui Anluo switched hands and Chu Ningyi lifted her sleeve. The knot in the space between his brows deepened when he saw that the swelling on her left arm was even worse than her right.

Once he gets his hands on the person behind this, he would never let them off so easily.

Shui Anluo’s entire body was filled with injuries. Not even she could tell precisely how badly she was hurt. During the landslide, there were a few times when she felt that she would be battered to death by the rocks. At the time, when the fallen tree had blocked her way down the river and she was washed ashore by the water that was crashing down from the back, she had lost consciousness for quite a while before waking up.

By the time Chu Ningyi finished tending to her injuries, the sun was setting. Chu Ningyi waited for her to finish eating her fruits before bending down to carry her on his back again.

Shui Anluo wrapped her arms around his neck and asked, “Are we going home? I miss the little darling.”

“Are you lactating?” Chu Ningyi asked bluntly.

‘Uh…’

Shui Anluo was in a temporary state of shock. When she regained her senses, she bit Chu Ningyi on the ear. Would it kill him if he did not say these things in such a matter-of-fact, blunt, and righteous manner?

Chu Ningyi frowned but it was not because it had hurt, because it was… Pleasurable!

Unfortunately, this sense of pleasure had come at the wrong time. His wife was riddled with wounds and there was no place for him to bite despite how much he wanted to.

“Are my ears delicious to you?” Chu Ningyi forced the sensation in his body down and continuously pacified himself. His little wife was an idiot, she had no idea that a man’s ears were his sensitive spots.
