Chapter 717 I'll Clean You
Qiao Xi's brain hadn't yet figured out what a compromise was.
I saw Huo Xingzhou get up and go into a separate bathroom, and soon the sound of water was heard from inside.
After a while, he came out with a steaming towel.
"I'll clean you up."
He said this seriously, without a trace of joking on his face.
Qiao Xi tightened her grip on the sheets, and a burning heat rose from her back.
She was still a little unaccustomed to such intimacy. Scrubbing meant that he would use his fingers and towel to stroke every inch of her body bit by bit while being extremely sober.
Even in bed, it never happened like this.
During battles, she was always too shy to ask him to turn off the lights, or to reach out and cover his eyes. She couldn't face those eyes that stared at her intently, conquering her.
I always feel a lot of shame in my heart, ashamed to be seen by others in my indulgence.
Even if that person is Huo Xingzhou.
The two of them were tossing and turning in the sea of love, influenced by hormones, and those touches were somewhat impulsive.
But it's too quiet now.
His eyes were also deep and dark, just looking at her.
Even said.
"Qiao Xi, take off your clothes first. I've turned up the heating in the room so you won't catch a cold. It's a good time to change your clothes and put on the hospital gown." His voice was soft and there was a coaxing tone in it.
His skin was a very light red, and there was a hint of sweat on his forehead.
It was indeed warm in the room.
"If you don't take it off, I'll come and help you." He touched the hot towel in his hand and said, "The towel is getting cold."
"I... can do it myself."
Qiao Xi slowly sat up and leaned against the head of the bed.
She placed her fingers on the edge of her clothes, turned her back to him under his burning gaze, and took off the sweater underneath.
She pursed her lips tightly and put her hands behind her back on the buttons of her bra.
My face was burning hot and I felt like I had a fever again.
She dilly-dallyed.
A cool hand grasped her wrist, and she felt her upper body relax instantly.
The bra is half off.
Qiao Xi opened her mouth, her head felt like it was smoking.
"Take off all your clothes, I'll go wring out the towel."
Huo Xingzhou stood up and wrung the towel again with slightly hot water as if nothing had happened.
Qiao Xi quickly took off all her clothes.
He curled up in the quilt.
When Huo Xingzhou came out, he found that she had wrapped herself up tightly, without a single hole. Only a hairy head was exposed, and her face was a bit pale from illness.
Huo Xingzhou raised the corner of his mouth, walked to her side and said, "Don't hold it in."
Qiao Xi tried to cover her ears and steal the bell: "I'm afraid someone will come in and see such a scene. It's not good."
"No one's coming in. I asked Lao Chen to keep a close eye on it. No one can get in, so don't worry."
Qiao Xi pursed her lips and looked at him several times with her tired eyes: "Have you been planning this for a long time?"
"Not really. I always thought that someone like you who loves cleanliness would not be able to stand the sight of someone covered in sweat." Huo Xingzhou gently wiped her cheek with a towel and said softly, "Close your eyes."
Qiao Xi obediently closed her eyes.
She could feel Huo Xingzhou's towel gently wiping and circling her forehead, eyes, and nose, leaving no place untouched.
So detailed and thoughtful.
Even the earlobes were wiped.
Then he went to the bathroom again, washed the towel and pulled her quilt.
Qiao Xi looked a bit like fish on a chopping board.
The warm towel, with the touch of his fingertips, touched the sensitive part of her neck.
Qiao Xi couldn't help but make a sound.
Huo Xingzhou paused for a moment and said soothingly, "Relax a little, don't be too nervous. We are husband and wife, we've done everything before. I even helped you wash..."
"Stop talking."
Qiao Xi stopped him in time. She reached out and grabbed his towel and said, "Let me do it myself. I can do it."
Her hands were not injured.
Huo Xingzhou didn't make things difficult for her and handed her the towel.
"If you need to clean it, tell me."
"Um."
Qiao Xi's nasal tone was a little heavy. She took the towel, turned her back and started to wipe.
While wiping, I could hear the sound of dishes and chopsticks.
After she wiped it briefly, she put the towel aside with a blush on her cheeks. Turning around, she saw Huo Xingzhou opening the thermos.
The heat is rising.
A fresh fragrance soon filled the air.
Qiao Xi's stomach growled because of it.
Huo Xingzhou turned his head, glanced at her and said, "Why don't you put on your clothes? Are you waiting for me to put them on for you?"
"oh."
Qiao Xi took the hospital gown and put it on in a hurry.
The heating makes people drowsy.
She gently reminded him, "Xingzhou, the heating temperature is too high. I think..."
"good."
Before she could finish, Huo Xingzhou turned down the temperature of the heating.
"Preserved egg and lean meat porridge. Xiaoyuan deliberately put fewer preserved eggs. There is no fishy smell at all. You can eat some first to fill your stomach." Huo Xingzhou filled her half a bowl and handed it to her.
The scene of Zhong Yi drinking chicken soup unconsciously emerged in Qiao Xi's mind.
She didn't know what she was thinking, but she said softly, "Can you feed me?"
Her almond-shaped eyes flickered and her ears felt a little hot.
Huo Xingzhou was a little surprised.
He raised an eyebrow and said, "It's my honor."
Qiao Xi has always been very independent and she rarely makes such requests.
Huo Xingzhou held the bowl, took a small spoon, scooped a spoonful and blew it gently.
Then he brought it to her lips.
Qiao Xi took a sip, and the porridge at home was so stewed that rice crystals came out.
The lean meat has no fishy smell at all, and the ginger slices have been picked out, so the ginger flavor is not too strong.
There are also shredded green vegetables and the amount of preserved eggs has been reduced.
“It’s delicious.”
The most important thing is that there are fewer preserved eggs.
Qiao Xi noticed this change.
It is true that you should consume less preserved eggs during pregnancy, but the taste does not change at all.
"Did you tell Madoka that I'm pregnant?"
"No, I just mentioned it. I'll pay attention to your diet from now on." Huo Xingzhou put the spoon to her lips again, "I hope your pregnancy can be kept secret for three months. Don't even tell Jiaojiao or my family."
Qiao Xi nodded, feeling much more at ease.
She was afraid that when she fell asleep, Huo Xingzhou would have already told his family the good news.
Fortunately not.
He knows his limits.
Qiao Xi looked at him, a smile showing on her pale face: "Thank you, Xingzhou."
Huo Xingzhou took out a box of beef pot stickers from the thermos, which was low in oil and salt.
He picked it up and Qiao Xi leaned over and took a bite.
The aroma was rich and she ate it with great satisfaction.
But then Huo Xingzhou said, "I told someone about your pregnancy without your permission."
"who?"
Her cheeks were puffed out as she chewed.
"I like it."
