Chapter 95 A Big Mosquito
After coming out of the bathtub, Shen Yuexi felt sore all over.
My old habit from my past life has resurfaced. I get completely absorbed in my work, a common problem among researchers. I didn't think anything of it when I was treating the wounded, but now I feel pain everywhere.
But even though I'm so tired, I'm sure I can sleep through the night.
Xiao Zhuo was still bathing, and she was in no mood to bother with him. She was so sleepy that her eyelids kept drooping, and she couldn't help but yawn loudly and said:
"I'm so sleepy, I'm going to sleep first."
After she finished speaking, without caring whether Xiao Zhuo answered or not, she took the initiative to move into the bed to make room for Xiao Zhuo, then turned over and sat on the quilt, closing her eyes.
The two of them have been sleeping in the same bed for some time, and she has long been accustomed to sleeping in the same bed with Xiao Zhuo, naturally.
After Xiao Zhuo finished bathing and walked to the bed, he was stunned for a moment, his eyes deeply attracted by the beautiful scenery in front of him.
Shen Yuexi had her back to him, wearing only a thin underdress held up by two thin straps. She'd previously visited a clothing store in Liangzhou Prefecture and had it specially made to her specifications. In her previous life, it would have been just normal pajamas, but in this conservative ancient society, it had become an extremely open style.
She slept in a terrible posture, the two thin straps on her shoulders having already slipped off. Her long black hair and a large expanse of white back were revealed to Xiao Zhuo.
Xiao Zhuo looked at Shen Yuexi lying on the bed with a burning gaze. He took two deep breaths, waited for his breath to return to normal, then got on the bed and lay down behind Shen Yuexi.
It was late at night, and everything was quiet and silent, with only the faint sound of their breathing being audible.
The faint fragrance coming from around him made him uneasy. At this time, Shen Yuexi, who had her back to him, seemed to feel uncomfortable sleeping and turned over to lie on her back.
Xiao Zhuo's body stiffened, his eyes narrowing as he looked at the beautiful woman so close. Her jet-black hair was scattered beneath the pillow, revealing her graceful neck. But the most fatal thing was that her tight-fitting undergarment had lost its restraint and had slipped to her waist.
Flames suddenly ignited in Xiao Zhuo's eyes.
He leaned over and placed a gentle kiss on her neck.
Shen Yuexi uttered a low groan.
The voice was like the alluring sound of a piano, which made Xiao Zhuo completely shed his gentlemanly demeanor of the breeze and bright moon.
In her hazy state, Shen Yuexi dreamed of Madam Li and Li Wan breaking into her room again. The difference was that this time, her whole body was sore and she felt so lazy that she didn't want to move at all.
Madam Li walked to the bedside, without saying a word, and pressed her neck with two fingers, then pressed down her body...
What on earth was this woman doing? It made her feel itchy and numb, like she was being electrocuted.
After pressing her randomly, Madam Li retreated, and Li Wan stepped forward again. She went even further, pressing directly on her, and suddenly reaching out her finger to press against her lips, making it impossible for her to breathe.
I can't breathe. Are they trying to suffocate her? Why are these mother and daughter always plotting to harm her? I slapped Madam Li twice before, but it seems she still hasn't learned her lesson.
If a tiger doesn't show its might, would you think it's a sick cat?
She raised her hand and slapped Li Wan in the face.
With a "snap" sound, Shen Yuexi felt her palm hurt, as if it had been hit on a stone.
She suddenly opened her eyes.
Madam Li and Li Wan disappeared in an instant, leaving only the cold moonlight shining through the window lattice into the dim room.
Was that a dream?
But this slap felt so real. My palm still hurts.
She turned her head and immediately saw Xiao Zhuo's surprised look. There was a clear mark of five fingers on his face.
In the dream, he just casually slapped someone, but it happened to hit Xiao Zhuo's face.
She was suddenly awakened from her sleepiness. She looked at Xiao Zhuo with embarrassment and stammered, "Husband, I...I was dreaming."
Xiao Zhuo glanced at her quietly, then suddenly turned over and lay down.
"Well, I really didn't mean it. I thought a big mosquito bit me..." Shen Yuexi thought he was angry, so she quickly sat up and held Xiao Zhuo's shoulders with both hands and shook them.
Before she could finish her words, she felt something was wrong. She felt a chill running down her body. She lowered her head and looked at herself.
Saw several hickeys.
Recalling everything that had happened in her dream, Shen Yuexi suddenly understood everything. Her face flushed red, and even her neck felt hot. She hurriedly lifted her underwear and put it back on.
"Go to sleep!" Xiao Zhuo turned around and spoke in a rare hurried tone. Without giving her any time to ask any more questions, he pulled her to lie down again.
His voice was very stiff, and a rare expression of deep embarrassment appeared on his handsome face.
Shen Yuexi's mind went blank. She really didn't expect that Xiao Zhuo, who always looked like a gentleman, would do such a disgraceful thing.
"We are husband and wife." Xiao Zhuo reminded her with his eyes lowered.
so what?
"These are natural and reasonable things."
Xiao Zhuo spoke more and more fluently, not caring at all that his behavior went against his gentlemanly character.
It took Shen Yuexi a long time to recover from the shock. Just as she was about to scold him, Xiao Zhuo had already closed his eyes and seemed to have fallen asleep.
Shen Yuexi stared with a pair of clear eyes, and snorted angrily. She turned over and pulled the quilt from Xiao Zhuo and covered herself with it.
It wasn't that she rejected Xiao Zhuo. As a couple, they were bound to do those things sooner or later. She wasn't one of those ancient women with such strong feudal ideas that were bound by so many constraints. She was angry that this guy didn't warn her in advance, leaving her completely unprepared. As a result, she slapped him in the face while she was sound asleep.
The atmosphere is gone, how can we move on?
A night passed. Shen Yuexi woke up and thought Xiao Zhuo had gotten up early to deal with military affairs, but she didn't expect him to be sitting at the table checking letters.
Seeing her get up, Xiao Zhuo put down the letter in his hand, looked up at Shen Yuexi, then quickly moved to the side with a flickering look in his eyes.
Shen Yuexi thought of what happened last night, looked at Xiao Zhuo's cheek again, and felt a little embarrassed.
"The military doctor came to see you just now and wanted to learn how to make medicine from you." Xiao Zhuo coughed and broke the silence in the room.
As he spoke, he paid attention to Shen Yuexi's expression.
Shen Yuexi had originally planned to go to the barracks to see how the injured were doing after getting up, but she hadn't expected to hear such news so early in the morning. This meant that the antibiotics she had taken last night were working.
It’s just that the military doctor needs to learn, she can’t make such a perfect antibiotic herself.
Seeing that she remained silent, Xiao Zhuo said, "I have already rejected his request."
Shen Yuexi understood that Xiao Zhuo wanted to protect her. After all, antibiotics were made by a universal manufacturing machine.
"No, I can make that stuff, but it will take some time, and the effect will definitely be worse than the medicine I used last night."
"You don't have to force yourself." Xiao Zhuo's voice was calm and tolerant. He became a gentleman again.
Shen Yuexi has her own plans. Since she cannot let people know about the existence of the universal manufacturing machine, the things she takes out must have a source.
"No, I'm planning to try it myself anyway. I'm just going to talk to Doctor Jun later and ask him to do it with me."
Shen Yuexi was thinking about selling these medicines later. She couldn't just rely on the universal manufacturing machine to make them all the time. Over time, people would notice something was wrong. Although she had Xiao Zhuo's protection and no one here would question her, if this got out of hand, people would inevitably keep an eye on her.
Xiao Zhuo nodded and said, "It's up to you to decide."
