"I'm sorry, I won't do that again." Huo Tingxiao's voice was a little hoarse.
He just wanted to see if he could feel anything that way, but she didn't like it, and they would worry, so he didn't do it.
"Huo Tingxiao, your leg will get better. Let's wait. Please believe me. Don't do anything to hurt yourself. It hurts me."
Wen Xingyue didn't know why she felt depressed when she saw Huo Tingxiao doing things to hurt her.
"Okay, I believe you." Huo Tingxiao wasn't one to torture himself. Since he knew this method was useless and only made her unhappy, he naturally wouldn't do it again.
"Huo Tingxiao, let's go out to eat. Aunt Wang has prepared the food, and I can already smell the aroma."
Huo Tingxiao was obedient, and Wen Xingyue had a good temperament and was easy to coax, so she immediately became happy.
"Mmm." She was happy, and a smile appeared on Huo Tingxiao's lips. He looked at the wheelchair placed beside the bed, braced himself against the bed with both hands, and put all his strength into his arms. The muscles on his arms bulged, the veins were visible, and the meridians were obvious.
Wow, that hand is really strong. Those veins look so good, so tempting. I really want to poke them.
Huo Tingxiao paused in his swift movements, almost falling off the bed. Feeling the gaze lingering on his arm, he pursed his lips and turned his head. "Could you help me up?"
"Okay, okay." Wen Xingyue was even more impolite than Huo Tingxiao had imagined. She bent down and grabbed his arm with both of her slender hands.
Huo Tingxiao had spent many years living and training in the military, so he was physically strong with obvious muscles. Wen Xingyue had small hands, and it took both of her hands to completely wrap around his arm.
His fingertips casually traced the prominent blue veins up and down.
It was summer, and Huo Tingxiao was wearing a short-sleeved shirt. His fair and delicate fingers gripped his arm, and his soft and delicate palms pressed against his arm. Wen Xingyue had been pampered since childhood, and her skin was as delicate and soft as the finest jade. It was warm and cool. Her soft hands were pressed against her strong and taut arm, and her slender fingertips slid unintentionally along the veins, causing a slight itch.
A tingling sensation spread from my arm all the way up to my heart.
Huo Tingxiao's heart trembled as if startled.
Hehe, it feels so good to touch.
Upon hearing his thoughts, Huo Tingxiao's arms went limp for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure. He dared not delay any longer, fearing he might embarrass himself later, and leaned forward to sit in the wheelchair.
"Huo Tingxiao, you're amazing! You managed to get into your wheelchair all by yourself!"
Wen Xingyue had touched it and had her fill of it, so she stopped. But now, seeing Huo Tingxiao sit in the wheelchair so easily, she was incredibly surprised.
She thought someone had helped Huo Tingxiao into the wheelchair, but it turned out that Huo Tingxiao sat down by himself.
Although Wen Xingyue had spent a long time with Huo Tingxiao, it was mostly Huo Tingxiao who took care of her. Wen Xingyue was a carefree person and rarely paid attention to these little things. Usually, when she woke up, Huo Tingxiao was already sitting in his wheelchair. When she went to his room to sleep in the afternoon, Huo Tingxiao would give her the bed and sit in his wheelchair to doze off at the table.
Therefore, Wen Xingyue has never seen Huo Tingxiao without a wheelchair.
[That arm looks amazing! Huo Tingxiao is incredible too, managing to get into his wheelchair all by himself. I definitely couldn't do that.]
Wen Xingyue looked at her thin arms and shook her head.
"Really?" Huo Tingxiao was both amused and exasperated.
He'd heard plenty of compliments in his life, but this particular compliment made him laugh.
He can only sit in a wheelchair by himself, and this person is praising him like this. If his legs weren't broken, and he performed a set of military boxing for her, would she praise him too?
He had served in the military for over a decade, where soldiers trained every day, resulting in strong physical fitness. Huo Tingxiao, having once been a top soldier, possessed physical fitness far superior to others, ridiculously strong.
Supporting his body with his arm muscles was a piece of cake.
"Of course, many people can't take care of themselves. You're amazing! You can sit in a wheelchair by yourself, eat by yourself, go to the toilet by yourself, take a bath by yourself, and even take me out to play. Isn't that amazing? Many people give up on themselves because they think their legs are broken. They think their lives are dead, that they're useless, and they take their anger out on others. They not only give up on themselves but also burden their families and hurt their hearts. Huo Tingxiao, you didn't do that. You're really amazing!"
Wen Xingyue praised him earnestly, her charming and pretty face full of seriousness.
She didn't understand those grand principles, but lately she often went out and sat among the aunties in the compound to listen to gossip, and heard a lot of things.
I'm using it now.
To Wen Xingyue, Huo Tingxiao was a very capable person.
In their fairy world, they worship powerful people.
"In your heart, am I really that great? Don't you think I'm a useless person?"
Huo Tingxiao hadn't expected to be seen this way by Wen Xingyue, and his emotions were turbulent. He stared at her earnest, praising face, his sharp, dark eyes fixed on her.
“Why do you dislike me? Mom said you are a soldier. You were injured while on a mission. You were injured while protecting our country and us. You are not a useless person. You are a hero, Huo Tingxiao.”
Wen Xingyue didn't understand why Huo Tingxiao would think that way, and that thinking was wrong.
Soldiers are heroes.
It is because of their fearlessness in the face of danger and risk to go to the battlefield to carry out missions that they have the peaceful life they enjoy today.
The longer I live in this world, especially living in a military compound where I'm surrounded by soldiers every day, I've heard many aunties talk about the state of this world before, how many people gnawed on tree roots, ate tree bark, and dug up clay.
Wen Xingyue truly admired and idolized soldiers.
[Hehe, I heard from the aunties in the compound that Huo Tingxiao used to be a top soldier in the army! A top soldier, the aunties say he was the most powerful one. Hehe, I'm so lucky to have such a powerful soldier husband!]
Wen Xingyue was overjoyed.
A string in Huo Tingxiao's heart snapped.
He gazed at the smug man, his deep, calm eyes filled with love.
"Xingyue, Tingxiao, dinner's ready."
