The Sickly General's Wife With A Spatial Ability Is Loved By All - Chapter 216
216 Sharing a Bed
Luo Jin’an asked, “Aren’t the herbs expensive? We don’t need to buy more since my body is okay, right?”
It did not cost much to buy daily necessities, but some herbs were costly. It would cost the family a few silver taels whenever they bought herbs.
Su Binglan said, “You don’t have to worry about silver since I can earn them back. I will cure you because I said so.”
There was a voice in Su Binglan’s mind, and it seemed to come from her soul. The voice told to cure Luo Jin’an, no matter what.
!!
On the one hand, she already wanted to do it, and on the other, she wanted to listen to the voice in her soul.
Luo Jin’an said lowly, “You will have a hard time then.”
Luo Ying had told him everything Su Binglan had experienced, and Luo Jin’an did not know what to feel. When Su Binglan returned, she talked and laughed, even though she had suffered a lot on the way home.
She had lived in the wilderness and seldom had a good rest when she went on her journey. On the way home, Su Binglan had to avoid unsafe roads and rioters, slowing her journey. She even had to treat Su Wenxiu’s injuries.
Su Wenxiu’s injuries looked minor, but they were severe. Su Binglan had to rent a place and buy medicinal herbs to treat her second brother’s injuries.
They had to spend money at several places on the way, and Su Binglan simply did not have enough money on her. She had to help at a clinic to earn money for medicinal herbs.
Afterward, she could continue to treat her second brother’s injuries. Moreover, she needed to buy food for him. The prices of these things were higher than those in Tenghe Town, so Su Binglan saved some money and gave Su Wenxiu good food.
Even so, she bought souvenirs for her family members. Luo Ying was unaware that Su Binglan was buying gifts for her family when he reported back to Luo Jin’an.
Luo Jin’an also did not expect his wife to make clothes for him. Luo Ying reported that the needles always pricked Su Binglan’s fingers when she first made the clothes, yet she stayed up late to finish them because she had a lot of work to do during the day.
At that time, Luo Jin’an wondered who Su Binglan made the clothes for. He guessed it was for Su Wenzhe, Su Wenxiu, or Su Fengmao. Therefore, Luo Jin’an cherished the clothes his wife had made for him.
He would not have known all this if he had not secretly sent Luo Ying to protect Su Binglan.
Su Binglan looked at her husband’s wavering expression and deliberately smiled. “Do you remember when you didn’t even let me touch your sleeve? Now you’re worried about me working too hard.”
Luo Jin’an’s lips moved as he wanted to say he was not himself at that time, but he chose to keep that to himself. Instead, he said softly, “It’s different now.”
Su Binglan was stunned. She carefully looked at her husband’s expression and wondered if he had discovered something back then, but Luo Jin’an did not say anything else.
Indeed, Su Binglan had gotten sleepy, so she said, “It’s getting late. We should rest early.” After returning from her journey, she had plenty of things to do.
“Okay.”
…
The couple was about to rest when there was a knock on the door. Su Binglan stood up and said, “I’ll go and take a look.”
However, Luo Jin’an grabbed her arm and said, “I’ll open the door.” He was worried because it was already late.
Su Binglan thought she should not let her husband open the door because of his health condition, so the couple went to open the door together. They saw Shen Qiuhua and Su Wenxiu standing at the door.
“Why are you two here? Did something happen?” Su Binglan asked worriedly.
Shen Qiuhua said, “Um, we only have two rooms at home. Your father and I have our room while Wenzhe, Yinyin, Xuexuan, and Xuehai share the other.
“It’s a little difficult for us to stay in one house, so I thought of letting Wenxiu rest here for the time being. Since you and Jin’an sleep in one room, Wenxiu can sleep in the other.”
Su Binglan was shocked. ‘M-Me? S-Share a room with Jin’an?’
The couple usually slept separately, but Su Fengmao and Shen Qiuhua did not know. Moreover, the couple was married, so it was normal for them to sleep together.
Su Fengmao and Shen Qiuhua would be worried if they found out Su Binglan and Luo Jin’an slept in separate rooms.
Su Binglan raised her head and looked at her husband, only to find he was looking back at her.
Su Wenxiu looked at his little sister, then his brother-in-law. He said, “M-Mother, I can sleep on the floor at home.”
Su Binglan hurriedly responded, “Second Brother can sleep here, Mother. After all, we have two beds. We just warmed up the brick bed too.”
She could not bear to let Su Wenxiu sleep on the floor, mainly because he had longed to sleep on a warm bed.
Shen Qiuhua saw no issues with that, so she said, “Our big house will be ready soon, and everyone can have their own rooms,” then she said to Su Wenxiu, “You can rest her tonight and come home to do housework tomorrow.”
Su Wenxiu nodded. “I know. Sorry to trouble you guys.”
Luo Jin’an said, “It’s no trouble.”
Su Binglan realized something and hurriedly said, “I’ll go clean up the brick bed!”
Her things were still in the room, so she had to move them to Luo Jin’an’s room in a hurry. Otherwise, her second brother would suspect them of something.
Su Binglan was fast, and by the time Su Wenxiu entered the room, she had already tidied it up. She placed her pillow side by side with her husband’s as she had brought another pillow for Su Wenxiu. She also laid out a new quilt for him.
Su Wenxiu entered the back room and lay on the brick bed. He felt warm and relaxed all over. “Home sweet home. I can finally sleep on a warm bed.”
It was very comfortable, especially since he could not sleep well on the way home. Now that he was, he fell asleep as soon as his head touched the pillow.
…
Meanwhile, Su Binglan and Luo Jin’an were standing awkwardly in the main room. Neither got on the brick bed. Instead, the couple sat at the table and drank water.
After a while, Su Binglan said, “You should go to sleep first.”
Luo Jin’an sighed and said, “You’ve worked hard and traveled far, so you should go to sleep. I’m not tired yet. I’ll stay up and do a bit of reading.”
Su Binglan looked at her husband’s body and said, “W-Why don’t we sleep together? You can sleep inside while I sleep outside.”
“You can sleep in the room. I’ll sleep here.”
Time passed slowly, and it was very late. Su Binglan even yawned. Luo Jin’an asked gently, “Are you sleepy?”
Su Binglan smiled awkwardly. “I-I’m fine.” She wanted to say she was not sleepy, but she was.
Luo Jin’an said, “Let’s go to sleep.”
Su Binglan saw her husband getting up and thought she should stop being stubborn. Then she got on the bed as Lou Jin’an joined her after taking his shoes off.
The couple lay side by side and blew out the candles, but neither moved an inch. Although Su Binglan’s eyes were closed, her eyelids trembled. She possessed an adult’s soul, but her body was that of a teenager’s.
