Chapter 228 Let me see your back!

Su Mei's classmates had long known that she was married, so when she brought her husband to the classroom to audit the lecture, it did not cause much of a stir.

Only some students were curious about the lover of the top female student, so they would secretly glance at Huo Jianguo during breaks between classes.

This glance makes people feel that Su Mei is a winner in life. She is rich, beautiful, talented, and the man she finds is also outstandingly good-looking.

All the classes in the morning are very important. Su Mei cannot miss any of them and listens very carefully to every class.

Huo Jianguo, who has been in society for many years, was not interested in these complicated formulas at all. However, in order to show his respect for the teacher on the stage, he also sat up straight like Su Mei and listened to all the classes carefully.

Among the afternoon classes, the first one was more important. The second one was also important, but Su Mei had already mastered the content of the latter class in her previous life, so she chose to take a leave for the second class.

The two went to the cafeteria to eat together at noon, and went home together at three o'clock in the afternoon.

When I got home, my sister-in-law was preparing dinner. She bought meat and prepared a lot of side dishes.

Although she was frugal with her money, she spent a lot of money when she said she wanted to treat Huo Jianguo to a meal.

When Su Mei got home, she planned to go to the kitchen to help her sister-in-law, but as soon as she entered the kitchen, she was pushed out by her sister-in-law:

"You two finally get to meet each other, so you must have a lot to talk about. Just go back to your rooms. I'll call you when dinner is ready."

Seeing her sister-in-law's good intentions, Su Mei stopped being polite and followed Huo Jianguo back to the room to spend their own time together.

After returning to the room, Huo Jianguo took out his luggage.

Inside were all the delicious food he had collected, as well as the scarves and clothes he bought for Su Mei. He had very few things of his own.

Seeing what Huo Jianguo brought, Su Mei couldn't help feeling a little guilty. She also thought about giving Huo Jianguo a gift.

But after thinking it over, I still haven't taken any action.

She thought that she must go out with Huo Jianguo tomorrow morning, and she also wanted to give him a gift, so that when they parted, he would at least have a thought about her by his side.

After handing the gift he bought for Su Mei to her, Huo Jianguo took out a potted plant carefully wrapped in heavy newspapers from his bag on the side.

There is a small pink succulent plant in the pot.

Huo Jianguo placed the succulent on Su Mei's desk and said to her, "Just water it a little bit every once in a while. This kind of succulent doesn't need much water and is easy to grow.

Take good care of it and don’t let it die. Even if it dies accidentally, don’t throw away the flowerpot and the soil inside, and leave the succulent inside.”

"Why can't you throw it away even if it's dead? Why did you bring it all the way to me?"

"Because..." Huo Jianguo glanced at Su Mei, then looked at the potted plant, "The soil inside is the soil I picked up after we had sex for the first time in the cave."

"Ah..." Su Mei was shocked. "No, there's no need to be like this, right? You're so obsessed with that dirt, what is this? A virgin complex?"

"It's nothing but a plot. I just think it's meaningful. I think everything related to you is meaningful. This is called romance. Do you understand?"

"I don't understand!" Su Mei felt that Huo Jianguo must have a misunderstanding of romance, but when her eyes touched the succulents on the table, she still felt that Huo Jianguo really softened time.

After putting the succulents away, the two of them lay on the bed, leaning against the quilt and chatting.

Most of the time it was Su Mei who did the talking. She told Huo Jianguo about her vision for the future and her future life plans. Huo Jianguo listened lovingly, rubbing Su Mei's hair from time to time.

He was very happy to listen to Su Mei's stories.

However, he didn't have much to share with Su Mei. Life in the frontier was dull and uninteresting, and interesting things were confidential and could not be told. Huo Jianguo was afraid that if he told Su Mei, she would worry.

So he seldom spoke, and when he spoke it was mostly to ask about Su Mei.

The two chatted for more than an hour. Later, Su Mei yawned and fell asleep while talking. Huo Jianguo saw that she was sleeping soundly, and he was reluctant to move even though his hands were numb from the pillow.

He was reluctant to sleep and just looked at Su Mei quietly.

It was not until Li Shufen came over and called her for dinner that Su Mei got up from her bed in a dreamy state. Huo Jianguo got some water for Su Mei to wipe her face.

After washing their faces, they went to the restaurant and ate around a square wooden table.

After dinner, Su Mei left the kitchen to Li Shufen to clean up, and she and Huo Jianguo went out for a walk hand in hand.

The two of them walked around the alley and didn't come back until the fog disappeared.

After returning home, the two went back to the house to lie down.

The lights were not turned off and the two of them did not talk. They just lay there quietly, enjoying this warm time together.

Li Shufen boiled some water, knocked on the door and asked the two if they wanted to take a shower.

The weather was hot and dry, and Su Mei felt uncomfortable if she didn't wash. Besides, they had done that yesterday, so she called Huo Jianguo:

"Go get some water, wash yourself up and go to sleep!"

"Oh, okay."

Huo Jianguo quickly brought in some water, adjusted the temperature, and then called Su Mei over.

In front of Huo Jianguo, Su Mei took off all her clothes, stepped into the basin, turned around and asked Huo Jianguo: "Aren't you going to wash?"

"Why, do you want to take a bath with me?" Huo Jianguo looked at Su Mei with a smile, but shook his head: "Forget it, this basin is not big enough, you wash first."

After Su Mei finished washing and climbed onto the bed, Huo Jianguo got up, poured out the water, and changed to a new basin of water to wash.

He stood facing Su Mei, his double-doors and eight-pack abs were stained with water droplets, looking particularly attractive under the dim yellow light.

Su Mei looked at him without blinking:

"Wash quickly, wash it clean, and come here so I can touch it."

Huo Jianguo: "........."

He quickly finished washing and put on his underwear. Then he took a vest and prepared to put it on. Su Mei waved her hand to stop him:

"Stop, stop wearing it. It's hot in my room, so you don't need to wear a vest."

"You'd better wear it. It'll look ugly if you don't." Huo Jianguo ignored Su Mei and insisted on wearing it.

Su Mei was unhappy about this, so she ran off the bed and tried to grab Huo Jianguo's vest. Huo Jianguo dodged and kept turning his body.

Slowly, Su Mei seemed to notice something was wrong, and she suddenly asked:

"Huo Jianguo, why do I feel like you have been deliberately avoiding me since you arrived at the hotel last night... No, to be more precise, you are trying to stop me from looking at your back. What's on your back?"

"Nothing, you're overthinking it!"

"Turn around so I can see your back."

"It's nothing, I've said that."

"If you don't turn it, I'll be angry."

......"Alas!" Huo Jianguo sighed faintly when he saw Su Mei holding his head, but he turned around and let Su Mei see his back clearly.......

His back was covered with purple bruises and red marks from being beaten... The moment she saw it clearly, Su Mei gasped.

"Huo Jianguo......."
