Chapter 386 I Feel Sorry For You
It was late at night and everyone was asleep, with only snowflakes floating in the air.
Ma Dongmei learned from Zhao Li the reason why Zhao Sheng was burned.
Seeing that he was not paying attention to his work, she was too lazy to say more to him. She climbed out of bed, put on her cotton jacket and cotton pants, and went to the kitchen. She mixed the two sets of medicine together, and re-lit the corn stalks to boil water and cook the multi-grain porridge. She cooked a little more and prepared it for Lin Yiyi to eat when she woke up at night. The rest would be the twins' breakfast tomorrow.
Zhao Sheng stayed at home with Youyou and Mozi, and waited until they fell asleep before he tiptoed out to see Lin Yiyi.
There was a thin layer of snow in the yard. Zhao Sheng stood by the door, looking up at the sky. Snowflakes fell on his face, melted when they met the warmth, and penetrated his heart with coldness and loneliness.
After standing for a while, he turned around and pushed the door open. The room was warm and most of the charcoal in the charcoal basin had burned out.
Zhao Sheng took off his clothes, lay down beside Lin Yiyi, hugged her closely, and smelled the faint floral scent on her body. His silent and cold heart began to beat again.
A faint blush gradually appeared on the pale face of the sleeping woman. It was not known whether it was because the ginseng pills had finally taken effect, or because of the kang, or perhaps it was because of the man's hot embrace.
Lin Yiyi woke up slowly, awakened by the heat, and felt like someone was holding her and she couldn't move.
She tilted her head, she smelled the familiar scent and the strong embrace, she knew who it was, Lin Yiyi felt so weak that she couldn't muster any strength.
"....You...relax..."
He moved his lips and tried to speak, but his voice was barely audible.
Zhao Sheng was so tired that he was half asleep and half awake while holding the person in his arms. As if in a dream, he heard his sweetheart calling him. When he opened his eyes, he saw that she was awake.
"Kitten, are you awake? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
"Let go..." Lin Yiyi opened her mouth again, frowned and muttered, "It's hot..."
Her voice was so soft that it was barely audible. It took Zhao Sheng a long time to understand what she was saying. With lingering fear in his heart, he said softly, "Your body has just warmed up. If I don't hold you, don't lift the quilt."
Lin Yiyi closed her eyelids again and bit her lips to force herself to wake up, "Yeah."
"Are you hungry? Are you thirsty?"
The man showed his concern anxiously. He stood up, took the warm water on the table and fed her with a spoon. Seeing her drink and swallow, a faint smile appeared on Zhao Sheng's lips, and his dark eyes were full of infinite tenderness.
After feeding her a few spoonfuls of water, Zhao Sheng couldn't help but move closer to kiss her. He picked her up and held her against his arms, which made it feel more real.
Lin Yiyi was attracted by his enthusiasm and stickiness. After drinking some water, she regained some energy and whispered softly, "What's wrong with you? What's wrong with me?"
She only remembered that she went for a walk with Zhao Sheng, and then her vision went dark. When she woke up again, she was hugged by a man and was intimate with him.
Zhao Sheng didn't tell her about his health condition. He just said lightly, "You have hypoglycemia. It's all my fault for not taking good care of you. You are a little malnourished. From now on, you are not allowed to eat meat all the time, and you can't stay at home all the time."
Hypoglycemia? Lin Yiyi was a little skeptical. She didn't see anything strange on the man's face, so she asked suspiciously, "Low blood sugar can only make you dizzy and weak. I haven't fainted yet, right?"
The man's eyes met hers, and he didn't panic, "In addition to low blood sugar, you are also weak. You don't move much at home every day, and you are weak.
After a while, you will go running with me every morning. "
"Running?" Lin Yiyi's eyes were full of rejection. She really didn't go out much and didn't exercise much. She stayed in Lihua Alley every day to paint and study. The amount of exercise was not as much as when she was pregnant.
There was no room for negotiation in what Zhao Sheng said, but this was not the time to argue with Lin Yiyi. He lifted the hair off her cheek and coaxed her in a low voice.
"I'll get you something to eat so you can fill your stomach and drink the blood-replenishing medicine."
Lin Yiyi was wrapped like a cicada cocoon, leaning against two pillows as she watched the man walk out of the house. Her head was groggy from sleep, and she reached out to loosen the bedding roll a little.
Just as the heat had dissipated, the door was opened. "What are you doing?"
Zhao Sheng had a complicated expression. Seeing that she was disobedient and lifted the quilt, he took a few steps forward and rolled her back into the quilt.
Lin Yiyi was caught red-handed. Looking out the dark window, she knew it was getting late. Her man was busy taking care of her, so she gave up obediently.
Zhao Sheng held Lin Yiyi in his arms, picked up a spoon and fed her porridge in small mouthfuls. After she finished half a bowl, he looked at the Chinese medicine that was still steaming and started talking to her again.
Lin Yiyi ate the porridge and regained some strength. She thought of the twins, "Where are Youyou and Mozi?"
"Fell asleep in the fourth brother's room."
Speaking of the twins, Zhao Sheng seemed absent-minded, but soon he talked about his own plans, "Tomorrow is the day when my cousin Zhao Yi is having a wedding banquet. I will go and show up and come back. I will take you back to Ze County the day after tomorrow morning.
But you won’t be living in Lihua Alley anymore, you can live with me in the staff quarters.”
"Ah? Where's the little guy?"
Lin Yiyi was a little surprised, her eyes widened, and she turned her head to look at the man behind her.
Why are you moving suddenly?
"Hiss~"
The man was hit by Lin Yiyi's sudden struggle and twisting, and the burn on the back of his hand began to blister. Lin Yiyi saw the man screaming in pain and realized something was wrong. She hurriedly asked, "What's wrong? Did I hurt you?"
Zhao Sheng hurriedly tried to see where on the man's body she had touched. He stopped Lin Yiyi's movements and smiled nonchalantly, "It's okay. It doesn't hurt."
It doesn't hurt? Why is there a sound?
Lin Yiyi glared at him and threatened weakly, "Tell me quickly, where did you touch? Let me take a look!"
The man felt helpless when he saw her domineering look, as if he was really threatened.
He showed her his burned left hand and said, "Look, it's just a small wound."
A large blister appeared on the back of the man's broad hand. Because of his dark skin color, the area without blisters appeared reddish brown. Was this a minor injury?
Lin Yiyi looked at the man's burned hand carefully, and suddenly felt distressed. She looked a little unhappy, and her tone couldn't be softer, "It's just a blister, how can it be a minor injury? Do you think you are made of iron?
Who burned you? I'll settle the score with him tomorrow!"
Zhao Sheng has always been careful and agile in doing things, so it is impossible for him to burn himself.
"No need, it will be fine in a few days." Zhao Shenghun didn't care. He lowered his eyes and looked at Lin Yiyi patting the back of his hand. The dark and greedy look in his eyes that could not be shown in front of others lit up again.
Hearing him say that, Lin Yiyi felt even more sad. She had just touched his hand, and she felt guilty and distressed. "Did you apply the medicine? Do you have any ointment at home?"
After asking, she regretted it. There was no ointment in the countryside, but she didn't know any folk remedies for treating burns.
It would be best if you don't leave scars.
The only thing about him that was long and beautiful was his hands, which had distinct joints.
"Don't get hurt next time. If you encounter something like this, stay away from it and use your agility to climb over the wall.
Seeing you hurt makes me feel uncomfortable and unhappy, so you must protect yourself, okay?"
Lin Yiyi raised her head and looked at the man, her watery eyes full of pity. She saw him pursing his thin lips in silence, and then she repeated it gently.
"Protect yourself, okay?"
"good."
It took the man a long while to utter a word coldly, and the look in his eyes when he looked at her showed a bit more morbid possessiveness.
