Chapter 56 Husband, Don't Be Afraid

Xie Zhizhi loves sweet and sour pork ribs; she prefers the sweet and sour version to the braised version.

Zhou Lin learned to cook sweet and sour pork because Xie Zhizhi muttered to herself while eating the day before yesterday, "It would be great if it were sweet and sour."

And so, Zhou Lin has already learned it.

Xie Zhizhi immediately hugged Zhou Lin's arm, "Honey, you're so great!"

Zhou Lin looked at the brightly lit street and quickly pulled away from his arm. "Don't fool around outside!"

Zhou Lin used his willpower to pull his arm out of the gentle embrace, and then, with a lingering greed, glanced down at the embrace several more times.

Xie Zhizhi was already used to rejection, and just happily rushed forward, shouting, "Go go go home!"

Because of his guilty conscience, Zhou Lin misheard Xie Zhizhi's "go" as "dog". When he heard Xie Zhizhi call him "dog", Zhou Lin did not dare to refute her.

After Xie Zhizhi finished shouting, she remembered something and then looked back at Zhou Lin guiltily.

Zhou Lin: It's okay, he deserved to be scolded, I'm not angry.

Don't be angry, don't be angry. It's just shouting, "Dog, dog, dog, come home!" It's okay. We're outside, no one will hear us.

Xie Zhizhi noticed that Zhou Lin's expression was normal, showing neither doubt nor suspicion, but he seemed a little angry.

"Husband?" It's good that you don't doubt me, but why are you angry?

Xie Zhizhi racked her brains but couldn't figure it out.

Zhou Lin glanced at her with his eyes down, his lips moved slightly, but he still didn't say anything.

He opened the car door and got in, and Xie Zhizhi quickly sat in the passenger seat as well.

Xie Zhizhi glanced at Zhou Lin several times along the way, but she still couldn't figure out why Zhou Lin was angry.

Could it be because I took advantage of him?

Xie Zhizhi thought, "It can't be that serious, it was just a brief arm-crossing."

When Xie Zhizhi arrived home, she found a surprise in the living room.

The small stool and shelf that Zhou Lin had promised to make for her are now placed in the living room.

Xie Zhizhi was overjoyed at the sight of it. "Honey, is this for me?"

Zhou Lin gave a muffled "hmm" and went to the kitchen to put on an apron.

Xie Zhizhi was alone in the living room, touching and looking at the small stool and shelf. "Wow, this stool can be folded! Honey, you're amazing!"

Hearing her words from the kitchen, Zhou Lin couldn't help but think to himself: "Hmm, this isn't a dog anymore."

Do you have a favorite color?

"I'll apply a coat of paint for you this afternoon!" Zhou Lin's steady voice came from the kitchen.

Xie Zhizhi ran to the kitchen doorway and asked, "Any color is fine?"

"Um!"

"Pink, pink, I love pink, it suits a sweet girl like me perfectly!"

Zhou Lin's gaze lingered briefly on her parted lips before finally looking away. "Okay, I understand."

At noon, Xie Zhizhi enjoyed a delicious sweet and sour pork rib. After taking a nap, she saw a pink shelf and a small folding stool on the balcony, where the paint was being cured.

Zhou Lin sat at her workbench, helping her hand-sew hair ties and velvet bows.

Xie Zhizhi: Man, I'll get you sooner or later.

Feeling someone staring at him, Zhou Lin turned his head while working. "You're awake!"

Xie Zhizhi immediately rubbed her eyes and went over, "Honey, how long have I been asleep? Why didn't you wake me up?"

Since Zhou Lin became her helper, Xie Zhizhi's workload has decreased significantly, so her afternoon nap time has increased from half an hour to an hour, and sometimes she might even oversleep.

Take today, for example.

Zhou Lin pointed to the fruits of his labor in front of him, "I've already sewed quite a lot, it's okay if you sleep in a little later."

Xie Zhizhi immediately hugged his neck from behind, "Honey, you're so good to me!"

The needle suddenly pierced Zhou Lin's fingertip.

Fortunately, his fingertips had developed thick calluses from years of training, so Zhou Lin pulled out the needle and continued sewing, maintaining an extremely calm demeanor.

He was incredibly anxious. He only wanted to know one thing: how to get Xie Zhizhi to go to the doctor with him, and what would happen if Xie Zhizhi recovered...

Commander Zhou felt his well-fitting trousers were now tight.

Xie Zhizhi wrapped her arms around his neck from behind. When he didn't push her away, her hands unconsciously moved, and her fingers traced patterns until they touched his Adam's apple.

Zhou Lin pricked his hand with the needle again.

This time I wasn't so lucky; instead of poking a callus, I actually poked my finger.

Zhou Lin quickly put down the hair accessory in his hand, and only felt relieved when he saw that no blood droplets had gotten on it.

He put down the hair ornament, and Xie Zhizhi saw that his finger had been pricked by a needle, as bright red blood had gathered at his fingertip.

Xie Zhizhi: Oh no, it's all my fault. I don't even know when to be a womanizer.

In an attempt to make amends for her mistake, Xie Zhizhi acted without restraint, walking directly in front of the man, bending down, grabbing his large hand, and crying out, "Husband, don't be afraid!"

Then he put the person's bloody finger into his mouth.

Zhou Lin “…”

Xie Zhizhi "..."

No, this isn't like what's portrayed in idol dramas!

The smell of blood...

Then Xie Zhizhi didn't have time to taste the blood anymore, because Commander Zhou was so stimulated that he went crazy and could no longer control himself, and had to be soft-hearted towards a sick person.

He reached his large hand behind Xie Zhizhi's neck and then, with a forceful pull, forced Xie Zhizhi to lift her head.

The bleeding hand covered Xie Zhizhi's eyes, and then she lowered her head.

Xie Zhizhi: Hmm, his lips are as soft and bouncy as his chest, very easy to kiss.

Zhou Lin, on the other hand, was more like someone addicted to opium; once he was, he was unwilling to stop.

He was initially cautious and restrained, but then became unable to contain his excitement.

Xie Zhizhi was initially very excited and gave him a great response.

The two hadn't kissed a few times when Xie Zhizhi jumped up and clung to him.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Lin was able to lift her up with one hand and kiss her effortlessly.

Xie Zhizhi: Luckily, she was hung up at the beginning, otherwise she wouldn't be able to stand up at all now.

Perhaps Xie Zhizhi's response was too enthusiastic, because Zhou Lin excitedly pinned her against the wall and kissed her passionately.

Xie Zhizhi learned a very important lesson: Don't mess with men from the dry land.

Xie Zhizhi initially dared to take advantage of people, even stripping them naked and showing off their abs and pecs.

Later, I no longer had the energy to take advantage of others.

"Knock knock~"

It was the knocking on the door that saved Xie Zhizhi's mouth!

The knocking paused for a moment, then continued a few more times before Zhou Lin, his eyes bloodshot, finally released Xie Zhizhi.

"Zhou Lin, Zhizhi, are you home?" Wen Jinzhou's voice rang out from outside the door.

Zhou Lin, breathing heavily, stared at Xie Zhizhi, whose cheeks were flushed, and decisively replied, "She's not here!"

Wen Jinzhou, standing outside the door, laughed angrily. "Bullshit! Nobody's here. Who's talking?"

"Open the door quickly, I need to talk to you!"

"I'll come find you in a bit!" Zhou Lin's voice was terribly hoarse.

Wen Jinzhou looked at the door that remained closed for a long time, puzzled, but obediently said, "Then remember to come over later!"

"I understand," Zhou Lin said, his tone tinged with impatience.
