Xiao Chengci, however, had no time to argue with Pei Zhi and quickly summoned the imperial physician.

The imperial physician was instructed to examine Pei Zhi carefully.

Xiao Chengci had already prepared himself for the fact that Pei Zhi would never be able to stand up again.

Xiao Chengci could serve Pei Zhi for the rest of his life.

He was certain that he would never have a regret in his life.

He was just worried that Pei Zhi wouldn't be able to handle it.

Xiao Chengci was actually happier that Pei Zhi couldn't stand up; at least, Pei Zhi wouldn't run off to that place again in this lifetime.

Only after the imperial physician confirmed that Pei Zhi's legs did he make a diagnosis.

As long as Pei Zhi exercises properly and recovers gradually, she should be able to stand up again later on.

Rehabilitation training is not easy either.

Every day, Xiao Chengci and Shang Huai took turns accompanying Pei Zhi to exercise.

Even so, by the end of the day, both of them had aches and pains in their backs.

Pei Zhi can't stand up on her own now, so they need to support and take care of her. It's even more tiring than carrying Pei Zhi around.

After each rehabilitation session, not only them, but even Pei Zhi was covered in sweat.

Pei Zhiyi gets tired and her temper gets worse.

Today, it is Shang Huai who is serving Pei Zhi.

Pei Zhi looked at Shang Huai, who was washing her, and asked, "Won't you find me disgusting?"

Why do you say that?

Pei Zhi tugged at her handkerchief, "Because this was the first scene you saw of me."

Shang Huai didn't react for a moment, but then he realized what Pei Zhi was talking about.

Before this, Shang Huai and Pei Zhi had maintained a respectful but respectful relationship.

The only difference was that Pei Zhi had taken off Shang Huai's clothes; Pei Zhi had never done this to Shang Huai before.

You shouldn't use the word "disdain".

Pei Zhi turned to look at Shang Huai, just as she was about to ask what word she should use.

Shang Huai grabbed Pei Zhi's chin, forcing her to tilt her head back.

Then, Shang Huai's kiss landed on Pei Zhi's lips.

These days, Shang Huai has been taking care of Pei Zhi closely, and he really doesn't dare to have any other thoughts.

Even if it were true, Shang Huai forced himself to suppress it.

Otherwise, he would be worse than an animal.

Pei Zhi is already so badly injured, yet he still has such disgusting thoughts. Does he even deserve to be called a human being?

These past few days, knowing that Pei Zhi's leg could get better, Shang Huai finally felt a huge weight lifted off his shoulders.

Moreover, Pei Zhi even used the word "disgust".

If Shang Huai didn't do something, he would despise himself.

Shang Huaiyuan only intended to take it easy, but things got out of control when Pei Zhi put her hand on his neck.

Pei Zhi couldn't stand up completely on her own, so she clung to Shang Huai's body with her arms.

Pei Zhi seemed to be glued to Shang Huai, who obediently bent down and wrapped his arms around her smooth back.

The water in the bathtub suddenly overflowed. What was originally a bathtub for one person now had two people in it, so the water level naturally increased.

Shang Huai suddenly pushed Pei Zhi away, panting heavily: "No."

No, this cannot continue.

Shang Huai was afraid that he would lose control of himself and hurt Pei Zhi.

Pei Zhi countered, "Why not?"

Shang Huai said firmly, "You're still injured, you can't."

Pei Zhi nodded slightly, but her hands were not as obedient as she appeared.

Pei Zhi's hand moved downwards, as if she had touched something.

Pei Zhi raised an eyebrow, "Really not okay?"

"It seems to be working very well to me."

Shang Huai swallowed hard, grasped Pei Zhi's hand, and tried to push her hand away.

Pei Zhi's tone was full of threat: "If you push it away this time, there won't be a next time."

In short, Shang Huai really didn't dare to make a move.

Where had Shang Huai ever suffered such a shock?

At his age, he has never been close to any other woman except Pei Zhi.

Pei Zhi observed Shang Huai's expression and slowly began to move her hand.

Shang Huai inhaled and exhaled intermittently.

Shang Huai blushed and said, "Please, stop torturing me."

Pei Zhi leaned forward and bit Shang Huai's lips. "You're so cute like this."

Looking at Shang Huai, who was on the verge of tears from all the torment she had caused, Pei Zhi felt an indescribable sense of accomplishment.

Pei Zhi asked softly, "Shall I help you?"

Shang Huai hesitated before giving his firm reply: "No, you're still injured."

"It's okay, I'm fine here." Pei Zhi tapped her mouth with her hand.

Shang Huai had no idea what Pei Zhi meant by those words.

Pei Zhi muttered, "There's no reason why Xiao Chengci has experienced everything, but you haven't, right?"

Shang Huai couldn't bring himself to refuse; perhaps, he didn't even want to refuse.

This was an experience Shang Huai had never had before, and one that he absolutely could not refuse.

Shang Huai thought to himself, "He's really a beast."

Those rebels called him a beast, and it seems they were right.

He really is a beast, it felt so good…

After it was over, Shang Huai held Pei Zhi and rested for a long time.

Suppressing his restless heart, Shang Huai quickly reached out and washed Pei Zhi, then changed her into dry clothes.

Then they brought tea to help Pei Zhi rinse her mouth.

"hiss."

Shang Huai quickly asked with concern, "What's wrong?"

Pei Zhi touched the corner of her mouth. "Look, isn't it a little cracked?"

Pei Zhi's lips hurt a little, especially after drinking hot tea, the pain was even worse.

Shang Huai bent down and looked closely; there was indeed a small cut.
