Unable to endure the hardships of rural life, she returned home to arrange a marriage with a militar

"Wait a minute, I'll go get the tools."

Gu Jun entered the study, and Shu Yun followed him in and out like a little tail.

Gu Jun walked into the study and took out two tin boxes from the desk drawer. One box contained commonly used medicines, a roll of cotton cloth, a few white pills wrapped in paper, and a bottle of medicine. The other box contained a needle and thread.

Shu Yun watched in surprise as Gu Jun skillfully took a long, thin needle from the sewing box and asked, "Are these all yours?"

Gu Jun nodded and explained, "It's normal to bump and bruise during training. If there are wounds, it's usually just a tear in your clothes, which you can usually mend yourself. It's more convenient to do it yourself."

Shu Yun nodded. "I see."

He's a true master who doesn't reveal his abilities! He can fight on the battlefield and also thread a needle. I really want to see Gu Jun holding an embroidery needle with a cold, handsome face.

"I've got it!" Shu Yun's eyes lit up. She ran to the bedroom with her little finger covered in blisters, and pulled out something she had hidden away. "You must be really good at sewing, right? I was just thinking of sewing a bigger bag so we can carry more things when we go shopping in the city."

She had wanted to sew this bag for a long time, but she couldn't even sew the two pieces of fabric together. Her stitches were sparse and uneven, and she even pricked her fingers several times, so she gave up.

Gu Jun accepted the few scraps of fabric with a complicated expression. He only knew how to mend holes in clothes and pants; when did he become someone who could sew bags?!

Shu Yun looked at him expectantly, "I've already cut each piece of fabric, you can do it, right?"

Gu Jun hesitated and said, "Then shall I give it a try?"

"That's great." Shu Yun immediately stuffed the messy pile of fabric into Gu Jun's arms and said with a smile, "Take your time to finish it, I'm not in a hurry."

With arched eyebrows and chubby cheeks, she smiled like a cat stealing fish.

Gu Jun put the things down and coldly reminded him, "Don't waste time, go get the water bubbles."

Shu Yun's beaming eyes immediately drooped, and she followed Gu Jun out of the courtyard dejectedly.

With good sunlight outside, Gu Jun could easily observe the needle and thread. He first heated the needle and thread over a fire for a while, then wiped it with mercurochrome to complete the initial disinfection work.

Gu Jun could feel Shu Yun's gaze following him closely, so he patted Shu Yun's head and said, "Take your hand out."

Shu Yun hesitantly extended her little finger, "Be gentle."

Gu Jun pulled Shu Yun's hand over, gently wiped the area around the blister with mercurochrome, and then held Shu Yun's little finger in the sunlight.

The moment the needle and thread were revealed, Shu Yun's little finger twitched, but Gu Jun's grip was so strong that her hand didn't budge.

"Don't be afraid." As soon as Gu Jun finished speaking, he had already inserted the needle and thread.

The blister burst open, and the fluid inside slowly oozed out. Gu Jun gently pressed around the blister to help drain the fluid. After it was all drained, he applied medicine to the wound. "Alright, don't let this hand get wet for the next couple of days to prevent infection."

Shu Yun breathed a sigh of relief. Gu Jun's movements were quick and precise, so it didn't really hurt too much. She stood up with a light heart. "Then you can cook later. I'll wait to eat."

She was about to leave when Gu Jun stopped her. "Wait a minute?"

Shu Yun turned around, "Hmm?"

The next second, Gu Jun's large hand pinched Shu Yun's chin, tilting her head slightly to the side.

Shu Yun frowned, trying to break free from Gu Jun's grasp. "What are you doing?" she asked, patting Gu Jun's arm.

Gu Jun let go of his hand, looking at him with sympathy: "I just noticed that you have a blister on the corner of your eye too."

"What!" Shu Yun's eyes widened in disbelief.

She ran back to her bedroom, grabbed a round mirror, and examined her face in the sunlight.

Wow! There really was a bubble, crystal clear in the sunlight.

Gu Jun suggested, "Why don't we squeeze them all in together? It'll be harder to recover if we leave them."

Shu Yun sighed, "Alright then."

Dr. Gu's technique was very trustworthy. Gu Jun was very skilled, and by the time Shu Yun felt a slight pain, he was already applying medicine to the corner of her eye.

Shu Yun was still worried and instructed, "Check if there are still red marks on my face. Let's apply some medicine together as a preventative measure."

Besides her face, Shu Yun also applied gentian violet to her hands, covering almost every scalded area she could find.

Shu Yun looked at herself in the mirror and burst out laughing. "Gu Jun, do you think if I go out looking like this, people will think you've abused me?"

As Shu Yun spoke, she made a pitiful, tearful expression.

Gu Jun sighed and flicked her forehead. "Don't be silly, take care of your wound."

Shu Yun covered her forehead, glared at Gu Jun, and ignored him.

Gu Jun shook his head as he watched her retreating figure. It really does take a long time for people to truly understand each other's nature.

When they first met, Shu Yun was perceived by Gu Jun as an intellectual and aloof person. However, now that they have spent more time together, Gu Jun has come to know another side of Shu Yun, one that is lively and mischievous.

But instead of making Gu Jun feel uncomfortable or disappointed, he was filled with surprise. She was very cute and lively, and he could feel his heart being slowly filled by Shu Yun.

Shu Yun injured her hand, so the task of making dinner fell to Gu Jun. However, Shu Yun had almost finished cooking, except for one braised crucian carp.

She moved a small stool and sat at the kitchen doorway, directing Gu Jun's actions, "Yes, heat the pan first, then pour in the oil, and put the fish in when the temperature is about right."

Shu Yun then reminded Gu Jun, "But you also need to be careful. There's a lot of water on the fish, and oil will inevitably splatter out. Stay away from it, but be careful to flip the fish over, or it will burn."

With a hiss, Gu Jun put the whole fish into the pot. There was a lot of water, and the pot made a crackling sound for a long time. Shu Yun took a few steps back and retreated directly outside the kitchen.

Gu Jun asked, "I've already flipped it over, what's next?"

Shu Yun called out to the inside, "Then put all the chopped green onions, ginger and garlic on the cutting board in and stir-fry until fragrant and the juices are released. Then pour in water, add some soy sauce and salt to taste."

"Hmm." Gu Jun worked efficiently and quickly, pouring in the water and simmering it over low heat.

Shu Yun walked into the kitchen with a bowl of fried baby crabs. "Are you alright? Did you get splashed?" If there were any blisters, she could help. Shu Yun rubbed her hands together.

Gu Jun glanced at her and said, "Yeah, you got burned."

Shu Yun leaned closer. "Where?"

Gu Jun: "I got some on my hand just now, but I don't feel it anymore."

Shu Yun took his hand and looked at it; there wasn't a single red mark from the burn!

Compared to her hands now covered in mercurochrome, one can only say that Gu Jun's skin is too old.

Shu Yun praised, "Not bad, from now on all the deep-frying work will be yours."

Shu Yun picked up a small crab and fed it to Gu Jun, saying, "Have a taste."

Shu Yun tiptoed and offered Gu Jun a small crab. Gu Jun tilted his head and opened his mouth, clearly feeling Shu Yun's warm fingertips touch his lips briefly before pulling away. His mind went blank for a moment.

Shu Yun was completely unaware, happily munching on small crabs one after another. Gu Jun couldn't help but remind her, "Eat less, or you won't be able to eat dinner later."

"I know." Shu Yun estimated the time and reminded Gu Jun, "Take a look, the fish should be almost ready."

Gu Jun opened the pot, scooped a spoonful of soup and brought it to Shu Yun, "Here, you can have the first bite."

Shu Yun leaned forward, pursed her lips, blew on it, took a sip, and tasted it. "Sweet and spicy, it tastes good. You can turn off the heat now. Let it stay warm in the pot for a while before it's ready to serve."

"Are you busy?"

A voice suddenly cut in between the two. Shu Yun was startled and turned around to see Granny Jiang standing at the kitchen doorway, peering inside.
