Chapter 109: Hug Aye, you are bad.
The slight pain on his face made Zhou Ye stop suddenly, and his entire upper body stiffened. Then he continued to stride forward, but he did not respond to Ah Shu's words.
Lin Shu pinched his ear, then stroked his jaw. Her slender, fiery fingers rolled across his Adam's apple, and she chuckled softly like a little elf. "I'll tell you a secret. I actually took a few looks at you the first day I saw you. I like tall, muscular men. They make me feel safe. You have a straight nose and big hands. They say you're incredibly powerful in bed, making it hard to get out of bed. Hehe, I wonder if it's true."
Zhou Ye stumbled suddenly, and his cheeks became hot as well due to the heat from her hot skin.
"Ashu, lie down and don't move." Zhou Ye said in a low voice with a hoarse voice. He tilted his head to avoid Lin Shu's face that was pressing against him.
"I won't, huh." Lin Shu stretched out her hands and wrapped them around his neck, hooking her legs tightly together, and rubbing her face against him again, like a beautiful snake, wrapping Zhou Ye so tightly that he could hardly breathe.
"Be happy that I'm attracted to you. After all, I have high standards. In my entire life, I've never fallen for anyone. But let me tell you, I'm not attracted to you just because you're tall and muscular. I'm attracted to you because you're nice to me..." Lin Shu said, then suddenly sniffled and sobbed. "No one has ever been so attentive to me. Those stinky men only liked my face and coveted my body. There was a guy as tall and burly as you before, who was right in my heart and had some talent. I was thinking about giving him some consideration, but he chased me for less than a month before he couldn't stand the loneliness. One night, he secretly hugged two women and brought them into the house. He even acted like I didn't know. Bah! He dared to come around after I slept with someone else, so I punched him away..."
Zhou Ye listened quietly, his face slightly gloomy.
Lin Shu's face was pressed against his, and she continued in a muffled voice, "I didn't want to agree to you so quickly. They say men don't cherish what they get easily, so I have to keep them in suspense and make them suffer a little. But Ah Ye, you're so good to me, I couldn't bear to keep you in suspense any longer. As soon as you confessed to me, I couldn't help but agree. Woo woo woo, I'm such a loser. Ah Ye, you're so mean."
When Zhou Ye heard this, his brows, which had just been slightly gloomy, softened unconsciously.
"Ashu, no, whether you promised me or not, I will always treat you well." Zhou Ye said almost word by word, as if making a solemn promise.
"Of course you're saying that now. I've already agreed to be your date. Luckily, I was a little careful and didn't let you marry me easily, hehe~"
This nasal hum tickled Zhou Ye's heart, making it soften completely.
"Aye, I regret it. I shouldn't have agreed to your request so easily. You haven't even pursued me that much."
Zhou Ye lifted her slightly slumped body and humbly asked, "Then Ah Shu, what do you want me to do?"
Lin Shu tilted her head and thought for a moment. "Well, you have to pick a bouquet of flowers for me every day, give me a carefully prepared small gift from time to time, and create some small surprises. When I'm in a bad mood, you have to comfort me, and when I'm in a good mood, you have to be happy with me. When I'm bored, you accompany me to the town to go shopping, drink tea, and listen to books. And... and, if I want to go somewhere, you have to accompany me, instead of finding excuses to stop me. For example, if I want to go to the mountains to take a look, Ye, you should accompany me, instead of not asking me to go because you think it's dangerous..."
As Zhou Ye listened, the voice in his ears gradually became weaker and smaller.
At a certain moment, Zhou Ye's breathing stopped suddenly. It was not until he felt the clusters of hot air spraying on the side of his neck that he realized that Ah Shu had just fallen asleep.
"Shu, go to sleep. We'll be there soon."
Zhou Ye didn't feel tired at all while carrying Lin Shu on his back for nearly thirty miles.
As he expected, the clouds in the sky parted a little, revealing the stars and the moon, lighting up the night road ahead...
Lin Shu slept exceptionally long this time. When she opened her eyes, she saw the unfamiliar house and the dry, thin blanket covering herself. She was confused and thought she was dreaming again.
Until a woman in her forties heard the noise and came in. Seeing that she had finally woken up, she turned around and shouted outside: "Zhou boy, your wife is awake——"
Lin Shu's mind was full of questions, but before she could ask, she saw Zhou Ye walking in at a brisk pace.
"Ah Shu, how do you feel?"
Lin Shu opened her mouth and realized that she had a bitter taste. She vaguely remembered that someone had forced her mouth open and fed her a bitter medicine. Seeing Zhou Ye, her mind finally came to her senses.
"Aye, could this be... the home of Doctor Ling in Daoxiang Village? Did you really carry me to Daoxiang Village?!" Lin Shu's clear eyes widened, revealing a rare bit of clear stupidity.
Before Zhou Ye could explain, the auntie next to him started laughing. "It's our Daoxiang Village! When your husband carried you here, my roosters had just crowed and it was pitch black outside. My father was a light sleeper, so when he heard the noise, he quickly opened the gate. He thought it was a child from the village with a high fever in the middle of the night, but when he opened the door, he saw a burly unfamiliar man. He was shocked. When he heard he was from Tianshui Village, he thought he was lying. Girl, your husband was very good to you. He carried you all the way here for nearly thirty miles. He looked so sweaty at the time, and his legs were covered in mud, as if he had been wading through mud..."
The aunt's surname is Wang, and she is the daughter of the old doctor. Because the medical skills in the Wang family are passed down from father to son, she usually helps her father to dry the herbs and weigh them.
Doctor Lao Ling had no son. She had found a man to marry into her family, but the man was in poor health. Even with his father's care, he did not live long and passed away five years ago.
In recent years, as Doctor Lao Ling has grown old, he rarely goes from village to village to treat patients. He only goes to Daoxiang Village and the two neighboring villages. Ordinary people will come to see the old man if they have a headache or fever.
With the unique skill of medicine, life at home is pretty good.
Aunt Wang's son has almost learned the technique now. After accumulating another year or two of experience, he will be able to take over Doctor Lao Ling's job.
After hearing this, Lin Shu looked like a shy young wife, but inside she was happily spinning around.
Although she had a severe fever last night, she was just confused and not stupid. She thought she was dreaming, but it turned out to be real.
Seeing her shyness, Aunt Wang stopped teasing her. "My son has already prepared the medicine. I'll bring it in when it's a little cooler. Drink the soup before you leave. Zhou, come and talk to your wife for a while."
After Aunt Wang left the inner room, the shy young wife raised her head and stared at Zhou Ye without blinking. Her eyes were dark and bright, and looked lively and energetic.
Zhou Ye was relieved to see that she had recovered.
In fact, he was not as calm as he appeared. He was also afraid. Even though Ah Shu's fever had subsided two hours ago, he still did not completely relax. It was not until this moment that he was finally able to stop.
"Aye, come and sit down." Lin Shu patted the person beside her.
Zhou Ye walked to the bed and sat down, his eyes falling on her, a look that could make one's eyes and face hot.
"Ashu, are you feeling unwell anywhere else?" he asked.
Lin Shu smiled and said, "I'm fine now. I'm not feeling unwell anywhere. Ah Ye, you're so silly. I can just take Old Man Liao's ox cart to town to see a doctor when it's daybreak. Why would you have to carry me all the way in the middle of the night?"
"Your high fever won't go away, and it scared your uncle and aunt." Zhou Ye pursed his lips and said in a muffled voice, "And me."
"Ah Shu, you scared me last night."
When Lin Shu heard this, she was stunned for a moment, and suddenly threw herself into his arms, wrapped her arms around his waist, and rubbed her head against his chest.
Although it was inappropriate, Zhou Ye was reluctant to hide. He just glanced towards the door when Lin Shu approached, then raised his two stiff arms and lightly wrapped them around Lin Shu's shoulders.
Lin Shu pouted in dissatisfaction, "I want a tight hug."
Zhou Ye's face flushed rapidly, and he tightened his arms to hold the person tightly.
He was happy but nervous at the same time. After all, this was someone else's house, and he was afraid that while they were hugging each other, Aunt Wang would come in.
"Aye, I'm sorry for making you so worried. Thank you for carrying me here in the middle of the night. Although I don't think I will die from a fever, what if I become a fool?" Lin Shu's thoughts jumped, and she suddenly asked: "Aye, if I really became a fool from a fever, would you still love me so much?"
Zhou Ye replied: "Even if Ah Shu becomes a fool, I still like her."
Lin Shu snorted, "You're lying. You replied without even thinking. You must be doing this to please me."
"I don't lie to anyone, especially you."
"Then I will not only become a fool, but also an ugly monster. Do you still like me?" It would be fake to say that he liked me. She didn't believe it.
Zhou Ye still nodded, "I like it. Good looks and intelligence are just icing on the cake. It's better if Shu has them, but I like her even without her."
Lin Shu banged her head against his chest twice, "Ahhh, shut up, shut up, you honest people are so annoying when you talk about love!"
Zhou Ye hugged her without saying anything. At first, his arms were a little stiff when he hugged her, but as he held her for a while, he learned to change his position. Unconsciously, the position of hugging with both arms changed to one hand around Lin Shu's waist and the other hand supporting the back of her neck.
The corners of Lin Shu's mouth curled up unconsciously, getting higher and higher.
"I have a little notebook in my heart, and I've written down everything you said."
Zhou Ye hummed, "Remember this."
"By the way, how could you lie to outsiders and say I was your wife? You were so shy when we were in town, but now you don't want to distance yourself from me? Tsk tsk, I mean, you change so quickly."
Zhou Yewei paused, then explained with a guilty conscience, "I said you were my daughter-in-law, and that wasn't a lie. When Aunt Zhou called me daughter-in-law, I explained it to her, but she still insisted, so I stopped caring."
Lin Shu's lips curved, "I know. Even if you say I'm your adopted daughter-in-law, I won't blame you. Why are you panicking, idiot?"
As the two were talking, Zhou Ye's ears moved, his expression suddenly startled, he immediately let go of his hand and stood up quickly.
As soon as he stood still, Aunt Wang came in with a bowl of medicine.
Lin Shu: ...
Look how panicked you are!
Aren’t they a young couple? It won’t be a big deal if they are seen.
He is so dark and his skin is even thinner than hers, tsk.
After Aunt Wang came in, the shameless Lin Shu immediately lowered her head shyly and said delicately, "Aunt, I heard what Aye said. I really disturbed you last night."
