The nth time I met my puppet

Wan Nan still felt uncomfortable even when Sanbing was in his arms. Finally, she mustered up the courage to pull Sanbing's sleeve and spoke nervously.

"Asan...can you please put me down?"

...The air suddenly fell into a dead silence.

Sanbing was silent for a moment, but still reluctantly put Wannan down. However, Wannan almost fell as soon as her feet touched the ground. Fortunately, Sanbing caught her.

Wan Nan then noticed that she had sprained her ankle when she fell while struggling to get out of the assassin's arms, but she hadn't noticed it at all at that time.

"Hmph, you're so weak, do you still need me to support you?" Sanbing was harsh in his words, but his eyes were full of concern. He carefully supported Wan Nan, but Wan Nan was limping and walking very slowly.

"too slow."

San Bing picked up Wan Nan again and held her in his arms, walking towards the room. Wan Nan didn't want to be held like this, but what San Bing said was true. She was indeed walking too slowly, and she was unable to refute it.

But as they walked, Wan Nan suddenly realized something was wrong. This didn't seem to be the way back to her room! Where was San Bing going with her in his arms?

"Wait! Where do you want to take me?" Wan Nan asked nervously.

"Where else can I go in the middle of the night? Of course I should go back to my room." Sanbing answered calmly.

"But... this doesn't seem to be the way back to my room? Isn't my room over there?" Wan Nan looked in the direction behind San Bing in his arms. This was clearly the opposite direction of her room.

"...It's not safe over there, I'm worried." The soldier didn't speak for a long time, and only spoke in a low voice after a long time.

He was worried.

Wan Nan was almost taken away. He was worried and afraid. If this happened again and he couldn't get there in time, where would Wan Nan be taken? Would he still be able to find her?

He doesn't know, so he doesn't dare to gamble. He wants to eliminate all risks.

Wan Nan was stunned. Does Sanbing mean he is worried about her?

Does he care about people?

"So...Asan, where are we going now?"

"Go back to my room." Sanbing said lightly, but Wan Nan's mind went blank when he heard it.

Eh?! Eh?!!!!

What did he say? Go back to his room? A man and a woman alone in a room together late at night?

"Wait! Isn't this bad?" Wan Nan said nervously, trying to stop it. After all, this was not right no matter how you looked at it!

But the time had already arrived. Sanbing kicked open the door of the room and walked straight in holding Wan Nan without any hesitation. Wan Nan's brain suddenly completely crashed.

Sanbing gently placed Wannan on the bed, leaned over and asked with a chuckle.

"Oh, what's wrong with that? I didn't realize when you became so easily shy?"

Wan Nan's face turned even redder at this moment. San Bing's face was too close! It was okay for a man and a woman to be alone in the same room, but his action was too suggestive!

San Bing had had enough of Wan Nan's shy look, so he turned around and went to get the medicine. However, Wan Nan was still in a daze and didn't react to what San Bing was trying to do.

Sanbing was sitting beside the bed, about to apply medicine to Wannan's sprained ankle, but Wannan subconsciously shrank back in fear, and Sanbing's hand, which was about to apply the medicine, missed.

"Don't move."

He frowned and grabbed Wan Nan's calf with some dissatisfaction to prevent Wan Nan from moving while he was applying the medicine. However, Wan Nan misunderstood and seemed even more frightened.

"What... do you want to do?"

"What else can I do? Apply medicine. Or have you even forgotten that you are injured?" The soldier replied calmly without even raising his head.

It turned out that Wan Nan was the only one who had the wrong idea. The corners of Wan Nan's mouth twitched, and she felt very embarrassed, and her face turned even redder.

The cool ointment was applied to the ankle, with a slight sting and cool feeling, and it was evenly applied to the sprained area. After applying it, the soldier carefully checked it again to make sure it was fully applied.

"Are you injured anywhere else?" Sanbing asked softly, while carefully observing whether Wan Nan was injured anywhere else.

"No more...? Hiss!" Wan Nan said as she pushed herself up to sit up, but suddenly a sharp pain came from her butt. She almost forgot that the butt was the hardest hit when she fell.

"Where else?" Sanbing noticed Wan Nan's expression and asked with some concern.

Wan Nan's mouth twitched. This was too embarrassing!!! She didn't know how to start the conversation. She hesitated for a long time but couldn't speak. Instead, her face became even redder.

"It's okay... just give me the medicine, I can do it myself." Wan Nan said in a low voice with a red face.

Sanbing frowned in some confusion, but looking at Wannan's sitting posture, he seemed to suddenly understand something. Then he handed the ointment to Wannan and left alone.

Wan Nan breathed a sigh of relief, quickly applied some medicine, and then huddled back in the quilt. Sanbing waited outside the door for a long time before knocking and speaking.

"Can I come in?"

"...Uh...Okay." Wan Nan wanted to refuse, but then she thought that this room was originally his. Wouldn't it be unethical for her to lock him out? With this in mind, Wan Nan didn't dare to refuse.

Sanbing pushed the door open and walked in. Wan Nan opened his mouth and hesitated for a long time before finally asking.

"So…where do I sleep tonight?"

After all, this is Sanbing's room. She can't just force him to sit on the sofa, right?

The soldier raised his eyebrows, smiled wickedly, patted the bed and said, "Sleep here."

"Ah...?" This answer was beyond Wan Nan's expectation. She was already prepared to sleep on the sofa, but Sanbing told her to sleep here?

"how about you?"

"Of course I am..." Sanbing stopped talking halfway, as if he was deliberately dragging out his words. He observed Wan Nan's nervous mood and then continued.

"Let's sleep here." Sanbing sat on the sofa beside him and lay down naturally.

Wan Nan had a momentary feeling of being in a state of disarray. Did she rob San Bing of his room and drive him to the sofa? But San Bing didn't give her the opportunity to be in a daze.

"Go to bed early. I'll teach you sword skills tomorrow. You're too weak. You can't even fight back against an assassin who came out of nowhere."

He was really worried, as he couldn't be there all the time. So, at least he had to let Wan Nan have the strength to protect herself, instead of having to rely on him to protect her.

Wan Nan nodded in surprise. After all, last time, Sanbing had not mentioned anything about teaching her sword skills. But she was still very happy because she finally didn't have to be the one being protected all the time.

Even after traveling through time, she had not learned anything to protect herself. She was still just an ordinary, powerless person like before traveling through time, and had been protected all along.

She was even protected by Yan Le before, and she felt a little ashamed when she thought about it. Now things are finally going to change.
