Chapter 305 Lonely Waiting
Ning Ji then let her go, hurried to the table to pour water, and then carefully fed her, as if he was taking care of a child or a patient. His movements were very careful and his eyes were looking at her seriously.
Si He felt better after drinking a few sips of water. She looked up at the handsome face so close to her and couldn't help but put her hand on the side of his face. "Husband, why have you lost weight? Haven't you been eating well recently?"
Although his face was still handsome, he was indeed a little thinner than before she fell asleep.
Ning Ji held her hand, then brought it to his lips, kissed it, and said with a faint smile: "Without you to eat with me, my appetite is not as good as before."
Hearing him say this, she suddenly felt her eyes a little sore, her mouth slightly drooped, and she threw herself into his arms again, hugging him tightly. After a while, she said, "Then I will try not to sleep so long next time. You have to eat well."
"Okay." Ning Ji responded, and also reached out to hug her and gently stroked her back with a very gentle expression.
The two of them hugged each other quietly for a long time before she said, "Husband, I want to take a bath."
Every time she woke up from a deep sleep, she wanted to take a bath first. Although she was often wiped, she felt that washing was more comfortable. After all, she had slept for such a long time, and her hair was also uncomfortable.
"Okay, I'll go boil some water for you. You can rest for a while."
As he spoke, he kissed the side of her face.
"Yeah." She responded obediently and stepped out of his arms.
Ning Ji looked at her, smiled, then got up and left to boil some water for her.
Si He looked at his back until he left the room. The smile on her face faded and she sighed softly. Now each time she slept, the time she spent sleeping was getting longer and longer. What should she do?
Even though she had just told Ning Ji that she would not sleep for so long next time, she really couldn't control herself and she didn't know how long she would sleep next time.
At this time, a breeze blew outside the window, and the curtains fluttered gently, bringing a little coolness. If Ning Ji had not said that she had slept for more than four months, she might have thought it was autumn, not the spring of the following year.
She sat quietly for a while, then got out of bed, walked to the dressing table, and looked at her reflection in the bronze mirror. She seemed to have not changed at all, and was the same as before she fell asleep.
She carefully felt the condition of her body again and felt... it seemed to be better than before she fell asleep, but she couldn't say how. However, judging from the current situation, it was obvious that sleeping was good for her.
The only bad thing is that it takes too long.
She withdrew her gaze and walked outside. It was early morning, the sun was rising, and the weather was clear.
She looked up at the bright sunshine and couldn't help squinting her eyes. Fortunately, the sun had just risen and due to the orientation of the house, most places in the yard had not yet been illuminated by the sun.
She walked along the eaves and was not exposed to the sunlight. Although she felt better than before, she did not dare to try to bask in the sun easily, for fear of suffering in vain.
Every time she thought about not being able to bask in the sun, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart, and she didn't know when she would be able to bask in the sun without any worries like before.
When she reached the kitchen, she saw Ning Ji hurried out and looked at her with concern, "Why are you out?"
Si He smiled lightly, "I'm fine."
He looked at her helplessly, then pulled her into the kitchen and said, "Then sit here for a while. The water will be ready soon."
"Yeah." She sat on the small stool in the kitchen, sitting obediently and watching him busy.
There was a strong smell of smoke in the kitchen, but she was used to it and didn't find it pungent.
In front of the stove, Ning Ji was wearing a cloth shirt with his sleeves slightly rolled up, revealing his strong arms. He added some dry firewood into the stove, and the firewood made crackling sounds as it burned.
In addition to boiling water on the stove, there was also a pot of rice porridge cooking, and he needed to take care of both.
The kitchen is filled with the aroma of smoke and food, full of the breath of life.
Ning Ji occasionally turned his head to look at Si He, and she smiled back at him, looking well-behaved. At this moment, his heart was filled with joy, and he only hoped that such peaceful times could last longer.
The hot water was quickly boiled. Ning Ji scooped the water from the pot into a bucket, then took it to the bathroom next door and poured it into the bathtub.
Si He went to the bathroom, rinsed her mouth and washed her face first, then washed her hair and took a shower. She washed her whole body carefully, and only then did she feel relaxed.
By the time she had finished washing up, the sun had risen high outside. The bright sunshine had driven away the cold and brought warmth.
At this moment, the whole yard was filled with sunshine. Ning Ji held up a big black umbrella to shield Si He from the sunshine, and then he took her into the next house.
He lowered the curtains in the room to block out the sunlight. Except for the bright area at the door, everywhere else was dark.
Ning Ji lit a candle in the bedroom to add some light. Si He sat in front of the dressing table, and he took a towel and carefully wiped her wet long hair.
In front of the bronze mirror, her long hair was loose and she had a faint fragrance on her body. Perhaps because she had just taken a bath, her face was rosy and shiny, and her lips were also light pink. She had regained the complexion of a normal person, like a blooming flower, breathtakingly beautiful.
Ning Ji lowered his eyes, wiped and stroked her long hair, his expression very focused, as if he was doing something important, and his cold eyes showed fondness.
After wiping it almost clean, he picked up the comb and combed her hair. His movements were very careful and gentle, so as not to hurt her.
A strong and handsome man doing such work, although a little incongruous, yet inexplicably harmonious, his movements were skillful and smooth like flowing water, which was quite pleasing to the eye.
Si He did not disturb him, but just quietly looked at her reflection in the bronze mirror with a smile on her lips. But then she thought about how he had been waiting for her alone during the more than four months that she had been sleeping, and she felt a little touched and sour in her heart.
She lowered her eyes and the smile on her lips faded a little.
Until she felt a touch on her head, she recalled her thoughts. When she looked up, she saw him in the bronze mirror, bending down to kiss the top of her head, and then looking at her, asking: "What's wrong?"
He keenly noticed the change in her mood, so he stopped and looked at her face carefully.
Seeing his concerned look, Si He wanted to say it was nothing, but in the end she turned around, put her arms around his waist, buried her head in his arms, her heart pounding.
Ning Ji put down the comb, put his arm around her, patted her head with the other, and asked in a low voice again: "He He, what's wrong?"
"I just want to hug you." she said.
Ning Ji smiled when he heard that, and sat down as well. Then he held her in his lap and sat her down with a very gentle look on his face.
At this moment, she was sitting in his arms. When she looked up, she saw him smiling and asked, "Why are you so clingy?"
