Chapter 56: kiss on the bed
Four days later, Li Chengyan still hadn't woken up, but at least there would be no more frequent supernatural riots.
Lin Ning was finally able to breathe after four days of exhaustion.
When Liu Yue arrived at the hospital, he saw Lin Ning, who used to be very particular about eating in the past, was drinking with a tube of nutritional supplements, which was obviously not to his appetite.
Lin Ning raised her head, saw Liu Yue's eyes light up, and then showed a hint of sadness, and asked slowly, "...Is there a mess outside?"
Liu Yue sat down and asked, "Where do you mean outside?"
Lin Ning pressed the nutrient agent repeatedly with her fingers, her face a little anxious. It has been more than four days, and Li Chengyan has not woken up, which is very bad. However, the doctors tested that his body was completely unharmed, and it was possible that his head had not recovered. After all, the supernatural riot mainly attacked the human brain. He thought for a while, and quietly approached Liu Yue's ear, his voice was small and soft: "I mean the military, will His Highness Marshal lose the position of Marshal due to physical reasons?"
After listening to Liu Yue, he revealed a bitter smile. There was no positive reply to Lin Ning, but she did not say a word, and there was a lot of helplessness and exhaustion in her eyes.
Lin Ning muttered to herself: "I read the news that the first command center of the empire seems to have started to propose to re-select the marshal regarding the body of His Royal Highness, and there is a person named Luo Youzhi who reacted particularly violently..." After speaking, he lowered his eyes a little lonely and laughed at himself, "Don't answer me, I'm just in a bad mood and love to pour out a few words..."
Liu Yue thought for a while and replied, "Mr. Li has stabilized the situation for the time being. I don't think anything big will happen."
Lin Ning raised her head: "Mr. Li?"
"It's the grandfather of His Highness the Marshal." Liu Yue explained, "Don't you know?"
"Grandpa?" Lin Ning blinked, her expression sluggish, and after a few seconds she asked hesitantly, "Does he have any other family members?"
Liu Yue shook his head and said, "His Royal Highness is an only child, and he has been from a military and political family for generations. His parents passed away at an early age, and he and his grandfather are the only close relatives."
Lin Ning asked: "But I've never seen it before? At first I thought it would be very disturbing when I came to the Marshal's Mansion, but later I found out that there is no other family member except His Royal Highness, so..."
Liu Yue just explained: "You should think it's strange, but Mr. Li doesn't live in the Marshal's Mansion. At first, the old man's lover and he lived in another mansion. Later, when his lover died, the old man was reluctant to leave the place where he lived with his lover for half his life. Live there."
Lin Ning nodded clearly.
Liu Yue looked at Lin Ning's desolate expression, made up some content in his mind, and then added: "...Well, in fact, I believe that one day His Royal Highness Marshal will bring you to visit Mr. Li, His Highness has never been a You are an outsider."
Lin Ning laughed and was amused by Liu Yue. She waved her hand and said, "What are you thinking about?" He didn't seem to have told the other party that he planned to move out. But Li Chengyan's current situation is so bad, he really can't let it go for a while.
The room fell silent for a while.
Liu Yue looked at the time and said to Lin Ning, "For every extra day the Marshal stays in the hospital, the reporters outside surround him for one more day. In the past two days, all the equipment in the intensive care unit of the hospital has been equipped with a new set of equipment in the Marshal's Mansion. Yes, there will also be doctors who live near the Marshal's Mansion and are always ready for first aid. Since the Marshal's health is relatively stable, we plan to transfer him back to the Marshal's Mansion after many discussions, and the treatment will not be worse than the hospital... What do you think? ?" At the end, his tone was almost asking for advice.
Lin Ning just nodded: "That's good, I can't stay in the hospital any longer."
Liu Yue also nodded in agreement. If it goes on, Lin Ning will collapse, so who will treat the marshal's supernatural powers? For today's plan, I can only go back to the Marshal's Mansion and talk about other things. "Oh, by the way, Lin Ning, didn't you say that Luo Youzhi has been dancing a lot recently?"
Lin Ning nodded.
Liu Yue showed a smile, and slowly spit out what happened at the beginning: "Luo Youzhi sees His Royal Highness Marshal as a thorn in his side. He knows that you have a good relationship with the Marshal and is also very interested in you. We have always been careful to prevent others from contacting you. Most of the reasons are because Because of him. That day, when the Marshal went to see you on the set, it was also because Luo Youzhi went to the set, and the Marshal couldn't rest assured."
After hearing this, Lin Ning slowly widened her eyes, shocked. He didn't expect Li Chengyan to do so much behind his back, but he didn't say anything.
He lowered his eyes, his heart a little sour. This person is obviously a little bit tricky and cute when he is a cub, how can he be so stupid when he is an adult?
At night, a small military spaceship quietly picked up several people from the affiliated hospital without causing any disturbance. It was not until early in the morning that the hospital told the reporters waiting outside that His Highness the Marshal was recovering well and had been transferred to a place for treatment. Only then did everyone realize that His Highness Marshal had moved away.
Many people speculated that His Royal Highness the Marshal was transferred to the Marshal's Mansion, but the surrounding area of the Marshal's Mansion is notoriously strict, and it was impossible for them to enter.
Lin Ning followed back to the Marshal's Mansion, and the moment she saw Uncle Chang, the housekeeper, she seemed to have the illusion of returning home after a long absence. Although he came to this world not long ago, he was still familiar with the Marshal's Mansion, and he lived there for a long time. This kind of sense of belonging is something the hospital cannot give.
The housekeeper was busy arranging Li Chengyan to go to the newly relocated ward on the third floor, and Lin Ning also went back to the room to wash up.
Then he was so hungry that he turned around and went to the kitchen to prepare some food. Today, he is going to make something delicious to calm his fragile nerves, make up for it, and find something happy to do - cook old hen soup.
Cut the processed chicken into pieces, add water and chicken pieces to the pot, then add a little cooking wine and small pieces of **** to Lin Ning, boil over high heat, and then change to low heat and cook for two or three hours after a while.
During the warm cooking, Lin Ning came out of the kitchen and saw an old man with gray hair and spirits standing in the center of the living room.
Lin Ning was stunned for a moment, looking at the serious old man with a three-point resemblance to Li Chengyan's face, subconsciously a little scared, he couldn't help but took a step back.
Seeing Lin Ning acting like this, Mr. Li couldn't help but silently restrained his expression, as if this would make his serious face less scary, he coughed lightly, and said, "You are Lin Ning, I often listen to A Yan. Talk to Liu Yue about you."
Lin Ning, who was a little scared at first:? ? ?
Mr. Li walked upstairs with a steady pace.
Even so, Lin Ning gave a false help and replied, "You are here to see His Highness the Marshal, I will help you over there."
Mr. Li was satisfied and understood that the person in front of him was his grandson's savior, and he was also his favorite sweetheart. Although his face was very cold, when he thought that so many high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital had the intention to win over Lin Ning and marry him, and he felt that he wanted to keep his sweetheart for his comatose grandson, he said: "Don't be afraid, since you have come to live in the Marshal's Mansion, you It's the one that Ayan admits."
Lin Ning: ? ? ? It always feels weird, is it what he thinks?
In the ward, the old man looked at the sleeping man on the hospital bed without saying a word. Lin Ning stood at the door just looking at it, and felt a little panic in his heart. Soon he closed the door, leaving the grandfather and grandson alone in the room without disturbing them.
After resting for a while, Lin Ning went to the kitchen. The chicken was already fragrant. He then washed the yam, cut the yam and tofu skin, poured it into the pot, and turned up the heat again.
The air is already full of the rich aroma of chicken soup, take out the chopsticks and gently poke, soft and tender.
He gently opened the lid of the pot, put in a little wolfberry and seasoning and simmered for a while, skimmed off the scum, and the pale yellow old hen soup was freshly baked, with a fragrant aroma and a great appetite. Seeing normal food other than nutritional supplements for the first time in the past few days, Lin Ning couldn't help taking a deep breath.
The system said silently: [Host, there is someone behind you. 】
Lin Ning suddenly opened her eyes and turned back quickly, seeing the gray-haired old man staring at this place without blinking. The old man's expression was solemn and solemn, and his face was just and dignified, but his eyes were fixed on the old hen soup under Lin Ning's hands, and he didn't know what the old man, who had been in a high position for many years, was looking at documents that would affect the fate of the empire.
Lin Ning's little heart was about to pop out of her throat, and she thought that it would not be her grandfather and grandson. They both like to stare at the back of cooking with a serious look.
Uncle Chang, the housekeeper, followed behind Mr. Li, with a smile in his eyes, and said, "Master Lin, the old man plans to stay here for one night tonight. If you are curious about the taste of this place, come and have a look."
Lin Ningfu was very heartfelt and politely invited: "Mr. Li, would you like to try my old hen soup, it nourishes the body, it is very delicious."
Mr. Li nodded reservedly.
Lin Ning and Mr. Li sat face to face at the dining table. He gave the old man a bowl of chicken soup, scooped a chicken leg and chicken wings, and brought a small bowl of rice. The chicken soup is rich and fragrant, the chicken legs slightly reveal the tender and rotten meat inside, and the people who watch it are drooling, the rice is fragrant, and a stack of side dishes and fruits are placed on the table.
Lin Ning always felt the atmosphere was weird, so she politely said, "I didn't know you were coming here today, so I made some random things. If you like it, come back another day, and I will definitely cook delicious food for you to taste."
Mr. Li nodded, tasted a mouthful of old hen soup, his eyes lit up, and he took a piece of chicken thigh and bit it down. The soft and delicious chicken entrance brought endless satisfaction and shock to the taste buds. The speed of his hands gradually increased, and although his face was still reserved, his speed of eating was no slower than that of Li Chengyan, a young man.
Lin Ning also started to eat, the elders were present and he had something on his mind, so he didn't say a word, and quietly lowered his head and nibbled at the chicken legs.
When the butler saw this, a smile crossed his eyes. He knew that Young Master Lin always had the ability to make people like him. He was beautiful, kind and good at cooking. He was sweet and polite and knew how to cook. Unfortunately, Young Master Cheng Yan has not caught up with anyone yet, making him an outsider anxious to watch.
In the evening, when Mr. Li was sent away, Lin Ning stood at the door and waved. A group of subordinates of the Marshal's mecha troops were guarding the Marshal's Mansion and saluting the old man. The scene was very spectacular. Old Man Li looked at Lin Ning with meaningful eyes, which made Lin Ning a little puzzled.
He thought about it for a long time, but he still didn't dare to think elsewhere. The old man probably didn't know that Li Chengyan had confessed to him. Although this is the interstellar age, it is very open, but he does not think an old man will accept it.
Back in the bedroom and put on pajamas, Lin Ning went to Li Chengyan's ward on the third floor. He closed the door, looked at the man lying quietly on the bed, took a deep breath, pulled the quilt and got in.
Although Lin Ning has always slept in the same bed with Li Chengyan recently, it was the first time that Lin Ning was in a daze. Later, every time she was worried and divided her energy, she had never been so embarrassed. This time, when I returned to the familiar Marshal's Mansion, I felt nervous and embarrassed. If someone suddenly woke up, it would be too ambiguous.
After reciting three times in his heart "I didn't take the initiative to climb the bed, I did this to save you", Lin Ning's face turned red slightly, barely looking like a shrimp. She held Li Chengyan gently and reservedly to ensure that the plant powers on her body could be passed on in her sleep, and then Lin Ning closed her eyes.
The system does not think it is a big deal to watch the fun, and said: [Host, is it comfortable for His Royal Highness to hold it? 】
Lin Ning thought for a while, and said seriously: [This person's body is really hot, like a big stove, and he can still be like this in a coma. It seems that he exercises a lot on weekdays and has some muscles. 】
The system curiously said: [You know quite clearly! 】
Lin Ning hummed and said: [I've been sleeping in my arms every night recently, and the fool has figured it out. 】
The system was excited, and continued to talk: [Then have you...]
Lin Ning's face was indifferent, and she threw two words to the system: [No. 】
Lin Ning, who wasn't sleeping in his bed at first, should have lost sleep, but because he was too tired and the feeling of the humanoid stove beside him was too solid, he quickly fell asleep.
However, when he returned to the Marshal's Mansion on the second day and on the third night, when he saw Mr. Li coming to the Marshal's Mansion, Lin Ning probably understood what the old man meant - this was because he valued his cooking skills. So every day, four dishes and one soup, meat and vegetables are matched, and the old man is graciously entertained. And he and Mr. Li became... wine and meat friends under this kind of inexplicable situation? ? ?
No, no, no, Lin Ning shook her head and poured out the water in her head. She stopped thinking nonsense and continued to heal Li Chengyan with plant powers every day. So... Mr. Li probably doesn't know that he sleeps with his grandson every night... right?
Day by day, it seems that nothing is different, but it seems that everything has changed. The days of waiting were so long, so he liked to sit quietly on the balcony at night thinking, and discuss with the system when Li Chengyan would wake up. Every day the doctor comes to see him, but every time he shakes his head, Lin Ning understands that this is probably a kind of vegetative state.
On this day, Liu Yue took a detour to the Marshal's Mansion after finishing his work. He saw Lin Ning standing quietly on the balcony for a long time without speaking, but looking at the distant sky as if time stood still, his eyes were slack, and his expression was cold, as if he was isolated from the world. The handsome and beautiful young man in the past is really like a delicate porcelain doll at this moment, with no sorrow, no joy, no love and no hatred, as if he can leave this world in the next moment without any nostalgia.
His heart suddenly trembled, thinking that there was something wrong with Lin Ning's psychology. He quickly invited the best psychiatrist in the capital to give Lin Ning psychological counseling.
Lin Ning didn't expect that she was in a daze, and when she let out her eyes and talked nonsense with the system, she was thought to have a psychological problem. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry for a while, and quickly regained his composure. After chatting three or two times, he sent the psychiatrist away, and strongly stated that he was fine.
Liu Yue didn't think so. He was so anxious that he finally chose to explain everything to Lin Ning.
One night with a gentle breeze, Liu Yue and Lin Ning were sitting in a reception room, the door was closed, and needles could be heard falling.
Lin Ning raised her eyebrows, a little curious about what Liu Yue was going to say so mysterious.
Liu Yue took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Lin Ning, you don't know about the memory loss of His Highness the Marshal, right?"
Lin Ning slowly opened her eyes, frowned deeply, stared at Liu Yue for a long time, and then shook her head: "He never mentioned it to me."
Once some words are said, my heart will be much more relaxed, and the words I want to say can no longer stop. Liu Yue begins to tell the whole story like he pours beans in a bamboo tube:
"Only I was aware of this matter at first. I contacted him and found that he was in your house and lost his memory. He didn't remember that he was a marshal. When you first picked up Xizai, he probably didn't know anything. He just got out of the hospital. run out."
"But I can't tell you about this. It's a military secret. In fact, his amnesia is a top secret. The entire empire knows no more than three people, plus you are only four. Until now, he has not recovered. Memories, have been relearning trying to maintain the serene appearance of the Empire."
"He never wanted to hide, I think he likes the days of living with you very much. It's just that the responsibilities and obligations have brought him back to his original post. Even if he doesn't know anything, he still has to do what a marshal should do. everything."
"I'm sorry, we never wanted to deceive you, and Xizai didn't approach you because of your ability. It's time to tell you about this, but you must keep it a secret, after all, we don't know when His Royal Highness the Marshal will meet you. Wake up, when will your memory be restored when you wake up."
"I know you may be wondering why you can't let His Highness the Marshal take a back seat, and why you can't give way to someone else because of illness and memory loss. It's not that you don't want to, but you can't. Don't look at the empire's peaceful appearance, but the power struggle is fierce. Once His Highness the Marshal steps down, the entire empire will face a major reshuffle, and it will inevitably go through a period of turbulence, when the Zerg or other races in the universe will invade, internal and external troubles, and mankind will be plunged into a state of doom."
After Lin Ning listened, she was silent for a long time, and finally her heart was bitter. The words swirled in my ears several times, and after I suddenly understood in my heart, I realized that Xi Zai had worked hard.
Is it like this...
Standing in front of Li Chengyan's bed late at night, Lin Ning leaned over and touched the man's side face, her eyes slightly moist. After a while, he leaned over quietly, and a light kiss fell on Li Chengyan's lips, warm and wet, with the sweetness of a small milk cake. The moment he got up, a tear from the corner of his eye rolled down his cheek and fell silently on the man's face.
The sleeping man's eyelashes trembled slightly, as if he felt the movement from the outside world.
Taking off the quilt, Lin Ning got into the quilt like a small fish, trying to cover the man's body with supernatural powers, her eyes were red, and she finally hiccupped in anger.
Damn, this body's lacrimal glands are too developed, Lin Ning quietly wiped the golden beans.
The man beside him suddenly moved, Lin Ning was stunned, opened his eyes, and saw a black piece pressing down, a hot body pressed against him, his arms propped up on the bed, a pair of deep eyes stared down at him. Obscure and complicated.
Li Chengyan held him tightly in his arms, looking at Lin Ning's red eyes and crying like a rabbit being bullied. At this time, his eyes were as big as copper bells, and his red lips were slightly open, seductively picking, and he suddenly took a breath. stagnant, gasping for breath.
He lowered his head, kissed his sweetheart gently and clumsily to clear the tears from the corners of his eyes, and then asked in a low hoarse voice, "Kiss me while I'm asleep, but you can't pretend that nothing happened, do you think I should charge some kickbacks? ?"
Lin Ning was ashamed and embarrassed, and was speechless for a while.
Li Chengyan evoked a faint smile, kissing from the corner of his eyes to the side of his lips, with a hint of tenderness that could not be rejected. The kiss was long and ambiguous, and by the end of the kiss, Lin Ning's head was dizzy, and she was not active.
In the end, she returned to her senses and forced the man away. Lin Ning blushed and said, "You, you are still ill!"
