C40 (2/2)

Just as he touched something, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. When he raised his head, he saw that Zhou Leping had unknowingly sat up and was staring at him.

”What are you doing?”

”The general is awake?”

Zhou Leping's voice dropped, ”I'm asking you, what are you doing?”

Zhu Guanliang looked at her calmly and calmly.

”What else can I do?” He took out the contents of the drawer and walked over. ”It's time to change the dressing on the General's hand.”

When he walked closer, Zhou Leping was finally able to see what was in his hand.

A roll of gauze and a white porcelain bottle.

”The last time I changed the medicine for the general, it was meant for him to use when he needed it. Now it seems that he hasn't used it even once.”

Zhu Guanliang took her injured hand and opened the bottle. A layer of the medicinal powder evenly sprinkled on top of the bottle, ”This is an injury that the general suffered in order to save me.”

He had fainted after being stabbed by a knife the other day. How did he know that she was injured?

As if he knew the question on her mind, he explained again, ”I wasn't completely unconscious at that time, and just happened to see the general's heroic posture as he pounced over.”

”You were awake when I held you?”

”I was completely unconscious.”

Naturally, he was awake and saw some things he hadn't noticed before.

”When I sent the general back earlier, I called for you on the way back, but there was no response. The peerless ability of the general, the hangover was always faster than normal.”

It was a sarcastic remark, which meant that she had been pretending to be drunk.

What he said after drinking should not be trusted.

The redness on Zhou Leping's face did not fade as he looked at the layers of gauze covering his palm. He pursed his lips and said, ”I am not pretending to be drunk.”

The meaning behind his words was obvious, I didn't intentionally pretend to be drunk to let you send me back, I was really drunk.

”I believe the general is drunk.”

”What do you mean? I said I was drunk, and you think I was deliberately deceiving you to send me back and then see you rummaging through my room? ”

She had indeed been drunk just now, but after being in the military camp for so many years, she had gotten used to having her eyes open whenever there was a slight disturbance.

Because of this habit, she hadn't gotten a good night's sleep since joining the army. She would be woken up several times a night.

It was the same at the moment, but the alcohol had not yet subsided and he still sounded a little childish.

”I believe you.” To prove he believed her, he rubbed her head.

It was as though he was coaxing a child. His actions were eerily frightening.

Zhou Leping leaned against the bed with the quilt in his arms, his eyes were unfocused and he dropped his vigilance, ”Don't you feel afraid seeing me? Won't I just be unable to watch on? ”

”Why should I be afraid?”

”The only people who don't mind me are my big brother and little sister, along with Zhao Deng and you.”

But they were not the people she wanted.
