That night, Ruan Liuzheng fell asleep and Ning Zhiqian still hadn't come back.
Later, she didn't know why, but she was sleeping soundly and suddenly woke up.
The room was lit, and he stood at the door, still dressed, looking like he had just come home.
"Awake?" He walked in, the first thing he did was lift her blanket.
"What are you doing?" she asked groggily, once again unsure of the time, reminiscent of those nights years ago when he would come home, and she would rub her eyes and ask him, return yet?
He checked her feet, her arms, and almost took off her nightgown to check her entire body.
"Not bad, the ankle is still swollen, the wounds on your hand have improved a lot, did you spray the medicine on time today?" he asked.
"Mhm." She nodded, "Have you eaten? Aunt made dinner, I'll go heat it up for you..."
She didn't know what time it was as she started to get up, but he pressed her shoulders down, "No need, the food's been kept warm, my mom saved some for me."
