The Vicious Female Supporting Character Just Wants to Cuddle with the Heroine - Chapter 31

“I have to take you for a walk so they’ll know who sent all these great things, and so they’ll know who to thank.”

“Okay, then.”

Although Ning Xin didn’t really care, she wouldn’t refuse Shen Qingzhi’s kindness.

Ning Xin’s arrival had already caused a stir in the military camp. Now that she was out, everyone was secretly looking at her. Besides wanting to see who sent them winter clothes and food, they had never seen such a beautiful girl before. Although General Shen was beautiful, none of them dared to have any improper thoughts about her.

Ye Xichang and the others also came to see the person who brought them supplies.

When Shen Qingzhi saw them, she introduced them to Ning Xin one by one.

Ning Xin greeted each of the generals in turn.

When Jiang Yida heard Ning Xin’s name, he was stunned for a moment, then reacted and said, “You’re Ning Kaiyuan’s daughter? The one who was betrothed to my son Sheng’er?”

“That’s me, but I only met your son briefly, and there was no betrothal.”

The matter between Ning Xin and Jiang Sheng had fallen through right away, and Ning Xin didn’t want to get into any trouble because of it in the future.

Jiang Yida wanted to say more, but Zhou Quan tugged his sleeve and pulled him back.

Zhou Quan walked to the front and said to Ning Xin, “Miss Ning, your actions are noble. We will definitely report this to His Majesty when we return so that you can be rewarded for your contributions.”

“There’s no need. I didn’t send these things for any reward. I just want to live my life peacefully. Please, generals, just pretend you don’t know.”

“This…” Ye Xichang really didn’t know when profit-driven merchants started doing charity, and what’s more, they didn’t want anything in return for doing so much.

Shen Qingzhi smiled and explained, “Generals, don’t worry. Leave this matter to me. I’ll take Miss Ning for another walk. You should go back to your duties.”

“Alright then.”

Ye Xichang and the others left in a daze. They thought Ning Xin at least wanted fame, which would help her business in the future, but she didn’t even want that.

There was also Jiang Yida, whose family had mentioned Ning Xin in a letter. The Ning Xin in the letter was completely different from the one he saw now. “Old Zhou, why did you pull me just now?”

“Don’t you understand? That Miss Ning clearly doesn’t want to have any ties to your son. If you say more, you’ll be slandering her. She doesn’t want to hear it.”

“How is it slander to be associated with my son? What’s wrong with my son?”

“No matter how good your son is, what’s the use if she doesn’t like him?”

“You and your smart mouth.”

As Jiang Yida and Zhou Quan talked, they grumbled and went back to their own tents.

After taking a walk, Ning Xin and Shen Qingzhi returned to Shen Qingzhi’s tent. Shen Qingzhi had someone add a bed for Ning Xin. After dinner, the two naturally closed the tent, extinguished the candle, and lay down on Shen Qingzhi’s bed.

Shen Qingzhi was afraid Ning Xin wouldn’t sleep comfortably, so she deliberately laid an extra quilt underneath. “You’ve worked hard these past few days.”

“Why say something so distant? I did all this willingly and happily. I don’t feel tired at all. It’s you who have been working hard all this time. Do you want a hug?”

“Yes.”

After Shen Qingzhi said this, she voluntarily moved closer.

Ning Xin held Shen Qingzhi in her arms, and her heart was instantly filled. “Did you use up all the wound medicine I brought for you?”

“Almost.”

Ning Xin’s heart tightened when she heard this. It was impossible to bathe every day in this place. They had just washed their faces and feet and lay down, so she hadn’t seen the wounds on Shen Qingzhi’s body. She was also a little afraid to look because she didn’t know how heartbroken she would be after seeing them.

Seeing that Ning Xin was silent, Shen Qingzhi tried to change the subject. “How long will you be staying here this time?”

“I know it’s inconvenient for me to be in the military camp, so I’ll leave as soon as all the food and medicine arrive.”

“Okay.”

“So… can I see how many scars you have on your body?”

Ning Xin would not be fooled by Shen Qingzhi. No matter how afraid she was to look, she had to see it clearly.

Shen Qingzhi refused, saying, “It’s so cold, and the bed has finally warmed up. Let’s not bother. You’ll be here for a few more days anyway, so there’s no rush to look.”

“I am in a rush. I need to see so I know what other medicines to get for you when I go back.”

“…” Shen Qingzhi had long known that Ning Xin was not some naive person, but with Ning Xin’s sudden persistence, she really didn’t know how to refuse. The scars on her body would be seen by Ning Xin sooner or later.

“If you don’t want to, then let’s forget it for now. We can look tomorrow.”

Ning Xin didn’t want to force Shen Qingzhi to do anything, even if it was out of concern. She didn’t want to make Shen Qingzhi feel awkward.

Shen Qingzhi had already compromised in her heart. Now that Ning Xin’s attitude had softened, she had even less reason to hesitate. “It’ll be the same sooner or later. If you want to see, then look.”

With that, Shen Qingzhi sat up and voluntarily took off her inner clothing, allowing Ning Xin to see by the moonlight.

Just seeing the crisscrossing scars on her back was enough to make Ning Xin’s eyes well up with tears. She pulled Shen Qingzhi’s inner clothing back up, then hugged Shen Qingzhi tightly and said, “I’m sorry. Did these wounds hurt a lot?”

“They’re fine. They’ve all healed. The medicine you gave me was very good. I’ll use some scar removal cream, and there won’t be many traces left in the end.”

Shen Qingzhi knew that Ning Xin wouldn’t care if her scars affected her appearance, but she did. She also had an inherent love for beauty.

“Then I’ll find the best scar removal cream for you when I get back.”

“Okay. When I get back, you must take good care of me. So before that, you have to take good care of yourself and not overwork yourself like this again. It hurts me to see it.”

“Okay.”

“Since that’s the case, don’t cry anymore, or your eyes will be swollen tomorrow, and people will think I bullied you.”

After Shen Qingzhi said this, she patted Ning Xin’s back and pulled her back into the covers.

Ning Xin knew that Shen Qingzhi didn’t only have scars on her back, but she really couldn’t bear to look anymore. She was afraid that if she looked more, she wouldn’t be able to resist taking Shen Qingzhi away and ignoring everything else.

This time, it was Shen Qingzhi who held Ning Xin. “It’s okay, I’m all better now. It doesn’t hurt at all. You must be tired from your journey. Go to sleep.”

“You sleep too. Let’s hold hands.”

“Okay.”

Ning Xin was afraid Shen Qingzhi’s arm would go numb, so she got out of Shen Qingzhi’s embrace, then held her hand and closed her eyes to sleep.

Shen Qingzhi looked at Ning Xin, not intending to sleep at all. God knew how much she had missed this person during this time. Now that this person was right in front of her, how could she bear to just fall asleep?
