Chapter 253 - 244 Panic_1
After tossing and turning all night, and with the sun already high in the sky, Lin Yue indeed felt hungry. But with her body sore and exhausted, and still angry at the old man who had broken his promise, she finally leaned weakly into Zhao Erhu’s arms and let him feed her chicken soup, mouthful by mouthful.
After a bowl of chicken soup, Lin Yue felt her strength somewhat restored, at least she didn’t feel tired and hungry anymore. "Zhao Erhu, is there hot water ready in the kitchen? I want to take a bath."
Zhao Erhu had taken care of the aftermath quite well. He had already cleaned her body for her, and Lin Yue simply wanted to soak in a bath, relieve the soreness and pain of her body, and then curl back into bed to sleep.
Seeing his little wife like this, Zhao Erhu felt somewhat guilty. It was his fault for not controlling himself last night, for being too unrestrained. It was her first time, after all, and she was probably not used to such strain on her body, let alone being pampered. No wonder she felt so aggrieved. Seeing her pitiful little figure, he felt his heart ache and didn’t know what to say. He had really been hard on her frail body. He would have to take good care of her in the future.
Zhao Erhu had experience in this area and had already prepared hot water in the kitchen. As soon as Lin Yue mentioned it, Zhao Erhu immediately brought in the bathtub and filled it with steaming hot water. He even added some medicinal herbs that were beneficial for the health. Zhao Erhu had also prepared clean clothes for Lin Yue.
Lin Yue had intended to go by herself, but as soon as she set foot on the ground, her legs gave out, almost causing her to fall. Fortunately, Zhao Erhu, quick-witted and nimble, caught her in time.
"My wife, you don’t have any strength left. Let me carry you there," said Zhao Erhu, cradling his wife’s soft body and inhaling the scent from his embrace. He was reminded of their passionate embrace from last night and felt a stir in his heart, but, considering his little wife’s condition, he had to suppress it. After last night’s ordeal, he figured it would be a few days before he could touch her again, but at least he had finally taken her into his arms.
Zhao Erhu saw that his little wife looked at him with disbelief, which made him feel like he was losing face. Indeed, one should not tell lies so freely; now his little wife didn’t trust him anymore. "My wife, rest assured, I’m not that insensitive. You’re still weak, I won’t touch you."
