Chapter 54 Chapter 54
Chen Zhaoyue nodded obediently. Because the two of them were close to each other, the water droplets on her hair splashed onto Wen Yanxi's cuffs with her movements, creating a few dark splashes of water.
Wen Yanxi's eyes also deepened a little following the splash of water.
However, Chen Zhaoyue didn't pay attention and turned to leave.
"Wait." Wen Yanxi's throat rolled, and he only reacted after calling the person to stop.
"What's wrong?" Chen Zhaoyue raised her little face and looked at him. The light from the corridor fell into her clear eyes, like crushed stars scattered in them.
Wen Yanxi looked away uncomfortably, quickly took a dry towel, and gently covered her head with it: "It's cool at night."
His voice was a few notches lower than usual, with a hint of hoarseness.
Shen Zhaoyue held the towel and waited for a long time. Seeing that he did not make the next move, he suddenly blinked: “Uncle, won’t you help me wipe it?”
Her voice was soft and a bit coquettish, but the corners of her mouth raised a cunning arc.
Wen Yanxi's breathing stagnated, and the fingers hanging by his side curled up slightly.
Stared at by those bright eyes, Wen Yanxi couldn't help but reach out and try to tuck the loose towel together for her.
His fingertips accidentally brushed against Chen Zhaoyue's slightly cool earlobe, startling him so much that he quickly retracted his finger as if he had been electrocuted.
Looking at Wen Yanxi's bright red earlobe, Chen Zhaoyue smiled like a fox who had succeeded.
She suddenly stood on tiptoe and stuffed the towel into Wen Yanxi's hand: "Yanxi~"
The call was so long and winding that the ending sounded like a small hook.
Her warm breath, scented with jasmine shower gel, gently brushed against his taut jawline.
Chen Zhaoyue raised her face, her wet eyelashes clearly visible under the light, her eyes filled with a sly smile: "Help me~"
Wen Yanxi's eyes suddenly darkened, and his Adam's apple rolled up and down.
He finally took the towel and ran his long fingers through her soft hair.
Chen Zhaoyue didn't expect that he would really help. She was enveloped by the refreshing aura of the man, which made her even breathe more lightly.
She lowered her eyelashes and dared not move. Her ears were red enough to bleed, and they shone brightly under the light.
Johnny, who was still in the space at this moment, ran back to the spiritual field happily after washing his clothes.
He squatted there like a dutiful scarecrow, his eyes scanning the surroundings vigilantly.
With Johnny here, no one can steal the lady's food!
Outside the space, Wen Yanxi, after drying his hair, took Chen Zhaoyue's washed clothes to the yard to dry them.
Wen Yanxi stood in front of the clothesline, looking at the clothes swaying in the wind. Suddenly, he remembered Chen Zhaoyue's red ears, and his cold eyebrows softened unconsciously.
In the room, Chen Zhaoyue rubbed his face fiercely after Wen Yanxi left.
"Really..." She muttered softly, and when her fingertips touched her earlobe, the scorching temperature made her feel annoyed again.
It was clearly she who started the teasing, so why was I the one who got shy first in the end?
"Chen Zhaoyue, why are you so useless?" She muttered to the air, but her eyes involuntarily drifted towards the tall figure in the yard.
Suddenly, her eyes rolled, as if she had thought of a good idea, and she turned and ran towards the room.
When Wen Yanxi finished drying the clothes and pushed the door open, Chen Zhaoyue had already come out of the room, holding an exquisite needle bag in her hand, and standing in the middle of the living room with a smile on her face.
"My uncle just helped me dry my hair." She shook the silver needle in her hand, her eyes shining like stars: "Now it's my turn to give my uncle acupuncture!"
Wen Yanxi paused and his gaze lingered on the needle bag in her hand for a moment.
Before he could respond, Shen Zhaoyue came over and grabbed his arm.
Although there was clothing between them, the muscle lines under her palm were still clearly visible, making her unable to help but pinch it secretly.
Wen Yanxi noticed her little movement, the muscles in his arms tensed unconsciously, and his breathing became disordered in an instant.
But he didn't refuse and let Shen Zhaoyue pull him towards the sofa.
Wen Yanxi had suffered many injuries during previous missions. Although the external injuries had healed, he still had some hidden injuries. His knee joints would ache slightly on rainy days.
Chen Zhaoyue's slender fingers gently pressed around his knee, and after finding the acupuncture point, she skillfully inserted a few needles.
"How do you feel?" she asked, tilting her little face up, her almond eyes filled with concentration.
Wen Yanxi felt it for a moment and said, "It's a little numb."
"Normal reaction." Chen Zhaoyue adjusted the angle of the needle: "Your old injuries need to be slowly treated. Just a few more injections will be enough!"
Wen Yanxi looked at her focused profile and suddenly felt that the pain in his knee seemed to have eased a little.
Twenty minutes later, Shen Zhaoyue took out the needle and poured a glass of water and handed it to him: “Drink some water.”
Wen Yanxi took it and drank it all in one gulp.
The water was cool and sweet when it entered his throat, bringing with it an indescribable comfort that made him relax a lot.
"Alright!" Chen Zhaoyue clapped his hands in satisfaction, his eyes curved into crescents.
Wen Yanxi stood up and stretched himself, and was surprised to find that the stiffness in his knees when he walked was much less.
He turned to look at Shen Zhaoyue who was packing up her needle bag, with an unprecedented tenderness in his eyes.
"It's getting late, uncle, go take a shower!" Chen Zhaoyue put away the needle neatly and prepared to go back to his room to rest.
"Yeah." Wen Yanxi responded softly, his eyes glued to Chen Zhaoyue.
Only after she returned to her room did he head towards the bathroom, his steps much lighter than usual.
"Johnny?" Chen Zhaoyue returned to the room and immediately slipped into the space, only to find that the villa was empty.
She pushed open the window and saw Johnny still standing next to the spiritual field like a scarecrow, staring at the herbs that were about to mature without blinking, and he didn't even care about charging.
"This Johnny!" Chen Zhaoyue was both angry and amused.
She rolled her eyes and immediately left the villa.
Arriving at the edge of the spiritual field, Shen Zhaoyue tiptoed over and suddenly shouted behind Johnny: "The vegetable thief is here!"
"Ding! Alarm! Alarm!" Johnny instantly went into defensive mode and almost knocked Shen Zhaoyue off balance when he turned around.
When he saw it was her, his voice immediately became aggrieved: "Miss, you scared me to death!"
Chen Zhaoyue couldn't help but poke his head with laughter: "I think you are infected with the virus!"
As she dragged it towards the villa, she said, "Hurry back and help me put on a facial mask. I have to take good care of my skin so that I can look beautiful when I get my marriage certificate next week!"
"What certificate? What certificate?" Johnny's voice suddenly rose an octave, and even his movement paused for a moment.
"Of course it's the marriage certificate!" Chen Zhaoyue glanced back at it, her almond eyes narrowed slightly: "Why, do you have any objections?"
Johnny's processor instantly overloaded, and his electronic eyes flashed wildly: "Miss is getting married? How can Miss get married?"
It protested strongly: "That man is not worthy of the lady at all!"
