Chapter 9 Let’s Take a Shower Together

Shen Ning dragged Shangguan Jing shopping for the entire afternoon. 'Talented Man and Beautiful Woman' was initially just a folk competition, like the four great talents of the capital were selected in this way. Gradually it became the most popular official competition among the people.

As time passed, the competition became more and more formal and comprehensive, and even the emperor got involved. Every year, he would give prizes to the first place in each award, just like the imperial examination.

This is a good opportunity to infiltrate the palace, and Shen Ning doesn't want to miss it.

When they returned home after buying the things, the doctor was giving Si Yan a follow-up examination, and Shen Ning was listening carefully.

"Looking at the general's health, it should not affect his military operations. As for recovering his memory, to be honest, it may take three days, three months, or even a lifetime. There is no definitive answer."

When the doctor said three days, Shen Ning's nervous breathing stopped. Si Yan saw that she looked unwell, so he took her hand and rubbed it twice, as if to comfort her. Little did he know that what Shen Ning was thinking was: Then it will be a lifetime. I hope Si Yan will never remember it.

After the doctor left, the two had dinner and it was time to go to bed. Shen Ning lingered in the bathroom, thinking he could wait until Si Yan fell asleep before going out, but he didn't expect that when he was halfway through his wash, there was a knock on the door.

Si Yan said in a low voice: "Are you done washing?"

Shen Ning subconsciously shrank back into the bathtub and stammered, "No, no, my husband, you go to sleep first."

After the words fell, there was no sound outside. Shen Ning thought the person had left and was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but he saw the door of the clean room was suddenly pushed open.

Si Yan walked into the room, glanced at Shen Ning calmly, and said as he untied his belt, "In that case, let's go together."

Shen Ning was so frightened that he was stunned for a moment before he quickly reacted: "How can this be possible? You are still injured."

"It's okay." Si Yan's movements were very quick. While he was speaking, his upper body had been stripped clean. His bronze skin was covered with old scars of various sizes. The places that were injured two days ago had already scabbed over.

Shen Ning recalled what Zuo Yi said, that he was invulnerable to swords and guns, could it be true? Even his wound recovery was different from that of ordinary people.

At this moment, Shen Ning was like an ant on a hot pot, unable to run away and could only watch himself being steamed.

At the moment when the water flowed, she closed her eyes in despair.

Shen Ning was used to letting the water reach his chest. The amount of water was just right, but when one more person came in, it could not hold so much water. The excess water overflowed and fell on the floor of the clean room.

Shen Ning took a deep breath, trying her best to stay calm, turned around and smiled: "I will serve my husband."

Come to think of it, she had really given Si Yan a bath. In his previous life, after Si Yan's right leg was disabled, he was devastated and lay motionless in the room for half a month. When Shen Ning went in, she almost thought he was dead.

At that time, her family was already broken and she regarded Si Yan as her last straw, trying her best to cheer him up. Unfortunately, after she took great pains to take care of him for a month, what she got was the news that he was exiled.

As her thoughts turned, she became distracted, and the hand that was massaging Si Yan's shoulders loosened its strength and touched the back of his neck.

Shen Ning's fingertips were soft and delicate. She didn't use much strength, so she might not feel anything, but Si Yan felt as if someone had pinched his vital points, and his whole body was numb from the head to the tailbone.

He suddenly turned around, his tall body pressed directly towards Shen Ning, his voice low and hoarse: "It's my turn to serve you."
