Chapter Thirty-Six: Feelings Heat Up
"cough!"
He Mingzhou coughed, shook his head, and said, "No, not really."
Xinli said, "That's settled then. Just leave this kind of thing to me."
He Mingzhou looked Xin Li over carefully and saw that her little face was full of seriousness. He was both amused and exasperated.
He now has some doubts about whether this rich girl has any idea what having a child means.
It's like she knows that marriage involves a wedding night, but has no idea what exactly happens in that room.
That's why I say it so bluntly and directly.
He Mingzhou hesitated whether to remind her or not, to at least explain things clearly to her, otherwise if she kept bringing it up every day without understanding, it might have a bad impact on her if word got out.
Women nowadays are still quite reserved. Xinli is a newcomer and hasn't been accepted by everyone yet. If this kind of thing happens again, she will probably be targeted even more.
He Mingzhou can't take a vacation every day. If Xin Li is bullied while he's away, he won't be able to get back in time.
"Shenli".
"Don't keep talking about having children; it's something that's a long time from now."
"What do you mean by 'a long time from now'?"
Xin Li's gaze involuntarily slid to He Mingzhou's lower abdomen: "Are you injured?"
He Mingzhou: "?"
Noticing Xin Li's gaze, He Mingzhou turned his body slightly, and at the same time, he was certain that Xin Li was not unaware of this matter, but rather understood it all too well!
"Ahem, it's getting late, let's hurry back."
He Mingzhou grabbed Xin Li's hand and ran off.
Xinli easily caught up.
Ignoring his strange emotions, He Mingzhou glanced at Xin Li with some surprise, suddenly remembering what Sister Lu had said when they were catching mice.
Sister-in-law Lu said that Xinli runs incredibly fast, like a whirlwind.
Judging from the way she caught up with me just now, she certainly doesn't seem like someone who's slow.
He Mingzhou, wanting to test Xin Li, quickened his pace without making a sound.
Unexpectedly, Xinli actually followed along.
He Mingzhou sped up again, but Xin Li still kept up with ease.
this……
Have you ever trained in running before?
Xin Li replied casually, "No."
He Mingzhou frowned, and Xin Li also realized that she seemed to have forgotten to control her speed. Her eyes lit up and an idea came to her. She twisted her ankle and cried out in pain as her whole body turned to the side towards He Mingzhou.
He Mingzhou caught Xin Li with quick eyes and hands.
Xinli grabbed his shoulder and said, "My feet hurt so much, why did you run so fast!"
He Mingzhou's doubts instantly turned into guilt.
"Are you alright? Let's go home quickly and I'll check on you."
People like He Mingzhou, who have trained for many years, are more precise than doctors in dealing with sprains and bruises.
Moreover, these medicines are always kept at home.
While He Mingzhou wasn't paying attention, Xin Li twisted her ankle hard. Seeing that her ankle was swollen, she cried out, "My ankle hurts so much. I don't know if I twisted it."
He Mingzhou thought that a delicate young lady like Xin Li probably wouldn't get enough exercise and wouldn't be able to handle being dragged around like this by him.
"I have medicine at home. I'll massage it for you when we get back. Don't worry, you'll feel better soon."
Xin Li said softly, "Really? I wanted to go beachcombing with other people. Will I have trouble walking in the future?"
He Mingzhou felt extremely guilty upon hearing this.
If he hadn't been testing her, Xinli wouldn't have gotten hurt.
"No, you'll only need to rest for a few days at most. During this time, I'll carry you wherever you want to go; I'll be your legs."
Hearing He Mingzhou's powerful voice, Xin Li almost burst out laughing.
No wonder everyone likes to tease honest people.
Because it's really interesting.
"OK."
"But I don't want you to carry me, I want you to hold me."
It's so weird to carry it on my back; I feel like everyone's eyes will be on my butt.
A princess carry is just like something out of an idol drama.
I'll just go and show off in front of Xu Haiyu to make her jealous.
"Hug...hold me?"
Even He Mingzhou, a grown man, was stuttering.
As a tough guy who isn't afraid of bleeding or crying, the thought of having to carry his wife when he goes out makes him a laughingstock for a year if people see him like that.
"You don't want to?"
Xin Li pouted and looked at He Mingzhou with a wronged expression: "My foot was injured because of you."
How could He Mingzhou dare to disagree?
He couldn't think about anything else; his face showed only bewilderment at the impending ridicule and the tragic grandeur of his impending execution.
"Okay, I'll hold you then."
Xinli bit her lip tightly to keep herself from laughing out loud.
When the two returned home, He Mingzhou first checked her ankle. It was indeed twisted, but fortunately it wasn't too serious.
He Mingzhou applied the medicated oil to Xin Li's ankles, and swallowed hard as he looked at her fair and tender ankles that seemed to be able to be squeezed for water.
"The medicated oil needs to be rubbed in to be effective, and it might sting a little..."
Xinli immediately teared up: "Then I don't want it, I'm afraid of the pain."
These words were perfectly normal, but somehow they took on a different meaning in He Mingzhou's ears.
"It won't hurt too much."
“I will be gentler, but if you don’t treat this sprain, it will probably swell up tomorrow and be even more uncomfortable.”
Xinli shook her head desperately.
She could have easily recovered from this minor sprain with a little rest. She had originally intended to play a trick on He Mingzhou, but in the end, she had to suffer the consequences herself.
"Be good, I'll be very gentle."
He Mingzhou didn't know how to coax the little girl, so he said something dryly and then reached out and pinched her ankle.
Her ankles were like the finest mutton fat jade, warm to the touch, and felt as if they might melt into a puddle of water in his palm at any moment.
He Mingzhou couldn't help but think that his body was all hard muscles, and he never expected that a girl's body could be so soft.
Especially Xinli's ankles, so slender, as if they would break with the slightest force.
He Mingzhou unconsciously held his breath, and his hand movements were as light as could be.
Even so, Xinli still cried out in pain.
He Mingzhou broke out in a cold sweat.
If this were one of his own soldiers, He Mingzhou would definitely scold him for being so spoiled.
But with a delicate young lady in front of him, He Mingzhou really couldn't bear to use excessive force.
In particular, Xin Li's cries of pain sounded like musical notes to him, making his body heat up and his mouth dry.
Are you feeling better now?
He Mingzhou asked in a hoarse voice.
Xinli's eyes were filled with tears.
Although she has a high tolerance for injury, her pain receptors are indeed very sensitive.
However, living in a post-apocalyptic world, she dared not expose her weaknesses, and when she was injured, she could only endure it without daring to cry out in pain.
She could only shed tears silently when she was alone.
Xinli also has a soft side, but as a lord, she cannot expose her softness and weakness.
Unexpectedly, she met someone here whom she could trust with complete confidence.
This man was also her husband.
That's interesting.
"pain……"
