Chapter 40 Underwater Love

Seeing that Pei Zhouwu was reluctant to give in, tears welled up in Liu Fuying's eyes.

"If there's any accident, I can build a thatched hut outside. I'm a much better swimmer now, so it won't be a problem to go back and forth."

She shook Pei Zhouwu's sleeve, looking pitiful and adorable.

But Pei Zhouwu still had concerns. If she was discovered, the consequences would be something she could not afford.

"You've been outside before. There's a large open space next to the spring. We can grow some fruits and vegetables, and we can also open up a paddy field to raise fish. It's a simple life without any conflicts with the world. Aren't you looking forward to such a life?"

Liu Fuying's words were all about his vision for the future, which aroused Pei Zhouwu's yearning as well.

"Please."

"Please."

"Otherwise, I really have nowhere to go."

The tears in her eyes condensed into water droplets, which fell accidentally and dripped onto Pei Zhouwu's heart, rippling continuously.

"I beg you, please."

Liu Fuying threw herself into his arms again and hugged his waist tightly, as if she would not let go if he did not agree.

In the end, Pei Zhouwu couldn't bear to refuse and nodded in agreement.

"good."

Just a simple word "good" was his heaviest and most precious answer after thousands of considerations.

If you keep her, you have to take the responsibility of protecting her.

She gave up her free life outside to stay here with him, so how could he not be willing to risk everything for her.

However, he also couldn't bear to let her be trapped here in fear and suffer for the rest of her life. Hiding for a lifetime was definitely not a long-term solution.

He thought about it carefully and some ideas came to his mind.

"That's great, that's great."

Liu Fuying hugged him tighter out of joy, but then came to her senses and was afraid of hurting his chest.

After quickly letting go, she grabbed his sleeve again and said with a smile, "Why don't we go in first? It's too hot outside. Your injury hasn't healed yet, so you need to rest well. It's also time to reapply the medicine."

"Yeah, okay."

Pei Zhouwu took her hand, turned around and took the initiative to lead her into the house.

His palm was warm, and he could wrap her hand completely with a gentle squeeze. Her heart was pounding. How strong would such a big palm be if it covered her waist and held her entire waist?

After entering the room, Pei Zhouwu pulled her to sit down in front of the bed, then turned around and poured her a cup of tea.

Then he took out a few medicine jars from the bamboo cabinet, lifted Liu Fuying's sleeve, took out the gauze and carefully applied the medicine to her.

Seeing the depth of the wound, Pei Zhouwu became more careful.

After applying the medicine, Pei Zhouwu asked her again: "You haven't had lunch yet, right?"

She took small sips of the teacup and shook her head shyly when he asked.

"You wait."

After saying this, Pei Zhouwu walked out of the bedroom and went straight to the big house in front.

That might be the kitchen. Pei Zhouwu brought out several dishes, including fish and meat.

Liu Fuying had heard about it. Ever since the emperor knew that Pei Zhouwu was seriously injured by someone, his attitude towards Pei Zhouwu had become much more lenient. The Pei family was no longer as taboo as before and often sent good clothes and food to him.

Thinking of this, Liu Fuying couldn't help but think back to the years he had spent in cultivation.

If Chen Xiunian had not been so perceptive and cleared her lover's name, perhaps there would not be the result today.

She resisted the urge to laugh and pulled Pei Zhouwu to sit down together.

"I've eaten." Pei Zhouwu pushed the food in front of him.

Although he said he had eaten it, the fish on the plate was still intact and had not been touched by his chopsticks. It was even still hot, probably because he had carefully steamed it in the kitchen before.

Liu Fuying picked up the chopsticks and smiled without saying anything.

It is indeed a blessing in life to have such a considerate husband.

But Liu Fuying couldn't afford it. What was a man? What was love? With countless gold and silver money, she could find any man she wanted.

As long as she keeps a firm grip on the Shen family's assets, she will have whatever she wants.

After dinner, Liu Fuying opened the bag she brought with her. Inside were several sets of her clothes, which were all wet after being soaked in water. She was about to hang them on the bamboo tree behind the house to dry.

He also took out a small package.

While Pei Zhouwu was applying medicine and not paying attention, she took the thing and the clothes and left the room.

Originally, she wanted to help Pei Zhouwu apply the medicine, but he was afraid that she would be tired, so he insisted on doing it himself.

After entering the house, Liu Fuying took out the package and looked at it carefully.

It was wrapped in oil paper on the outside and contained a pile of light yellow powder.

This is insect attracting powder, specifically used to attract snakes and insects.

It had been used once before, and the original plan was to use it here for Pei Zhouwu, but later it was used on Liu Shiyuan by mistake.

Now, there is another chance.

Fortunately, the oil paper was wrapped tightly enough and the powder did not dissolve in the water.

After confirming, she wrapped the oil paper back and hid it tightly in the pile of stones under the bamboo tree.

After returning to the house, Pei Zhouwu had already applied the medicine and tidied his clothes.

"It's hot." Pei Zhouwu stood up from the bed, walked to the table and continued to say to Liu Fuying: "This time of day is the easiest to make people drowsy and sleepy. You must be exhausted after all the way here. Lie down and have a good rest first."

"I don't need it. You should just lie down and rest. You are so badly injured..."

"Don't argue with me." Pei Zhouwu picked up the dishes on the table, his eyes determined not to let her refuse, "I'll go clean these dishes, you just take a rest."

After saying that, he walked out the door.

Liu Fuying followed his back as he walked away, thinking that he was really a capable and good husband.

Whatever.

Let him go, Liu Fuying will not compete with him.

She was in a good mood, and her mood became even happier when she thought about what would happen during the night.

It's good to take a break and recharge your energy, as there will be some good shows in the evening.

Maybe she was really tired after walking all the way, so she fell asleep soon after she lay down.

Although the weather was hot, she slept well.

When I woke up, it was almost dark.

Pei Zhouwu was not in the house, and when she wanted to go out to look for him, he was coming in from the front room with food.

She ran towards him quickly, then walked back side by side with him, and asked, "Didn't the guards come in today?"

Pei Zhouwu shook his head, not letting her take the hot plate from his hand.

"The new arrivals don't come in often to check on us. They just leave their three meals a day at the door."

I guess it was because he killed someone that day, so the guards didn't dare to have too much contact with him.

After dinner.

Liu Fuying shyly told Pei Zhouwu that she wanted to take a bath in the pool behind the house. After a day, even without sunbathing, her body was covered with sweat, and she felt sticky and uncomfortable.

"I...I'll go to the yard and guard it for you."

The word "bathing" is always a shameful and private matter. Liu Fuying is so shy that Pei Zhouwu's ears turn red.

She was more worried about the guards breaking in, so he offered to sit in the yard and watch for her.

Liu Fuying nodded shyly, and went around to the back of the house to get the dried clothes, and took out the insect-attracting powder hidden under the tree.

When she arrived at the pond, the surface was calm, but her heart was pounding.

Imagining the scene of her and Pei Zhouwu being intimate underwater, she felt hot and sweaty unconsciously.

While putting down the clothes, she opened the oil paper and sprinkled the insect attracting powder among the sand and stones. It mixed with the sand and there was no difference at all.

Tear up the oil paper and hide it under the big rocks in the water. It will dissolve in a few days.

Then, she turned around to look at Pei Zhouwu in the distance. He was sitting with his back to her and didn't look in her direction without any regard for what was inappropriate.

I saw a sly smile on her lips, and then she slowly took off her clothes.

The outer skirt and outer pants were all taken off.

Only a light pink bellyband and a pair of panties were left, revealing a pair of smooth and tender legs.

When entering the water, she deliberately loosened the straps of her bellyband on her back.
