The wine slid down his throat, bringing a spicy taste, and Su Jinge couldn't help coughing.
"Cough cough...cough cough cough."
Lin Xi quickly raised his hand and patted her back, took the wine glass from her hand, stood up and poured her a glass of water for her to rinse her mouth.
"How is it? Are you still feeling bad?"
Su Jinge shook her head, her cheeks turned red due to coughing, and the big hand behind her continued to help her breathe.
"I blame you for not telling you that this wine is very strong. You should just take a sip. You don't need to drink so much."
Seeing that the person was still frowning, Lin Xi felt a little annoyed. He was happy today and forgot about it for a moment.
Su Jinge's cough gradually stopped, but his throat was still a little uncomfortable due to choking, so he didn't have time to speak for a while.
Seeing this, Lin Xi's heart tightened.
He subconsciously reached out and gently wiped away the wine stains on the corners of Su Jinge's mouth, and asked with concern, "Are you okay?" His voice was low and carried a hint of worry.
Because the light from the oil lamp in the house was dim, everything around seemed hazy.
In this faint light, Lin Xi's concerned eyes were particularly clear, as if they could penetrate the darkness and reach Su Jinge's heart.
The warmth of her fingers made Su Jinge's mouth itch, and her heart seemed to skip a beat. She tilted her head slightly to avoid Lin Xi's burning gaze, "It's okay, don't worry."
He just choked on the wine. If he had behaved like this in Chaoge Kingdom, he would probably have been put in solitary confinement.
"I'm glad you're okay. Just drink this once and never drink again." After hesitating for a moment, Lin Xi said, "If you want to drink, you can have some fruit wine. Women like it more."
'Bang, bang, bang.'
"General, the hot water is here."
There was a knock on the door and Ankang's voice came, interrupting their conversation.
"knew."
Lin Xi stood up and lowered his head to sniff the smell of alcohol on his body. Hmm! It was very strong. He glanced at Su Jinge and saw that she had no expression. He didn't know if she had smelled it since they were so close just now.
Su Jinge raised her eyes and saw Lin Xi standing there motionless. She thought he wanted her to open the door, so she subconsciously wanted to stand up, but was stopped by Lin Xi.
"I'll be there. You sit inside and I'll come over after I'm done washing up."
What a joke! My wife is still in her pajamas. How can I let her go out to open the door?
Lin Xi walked to the door and asked Ankang and the others to go in through the side door. After the hot water was poured, he let them go.
She couldn't wait to get into the bathtub and start washing her body. She also used scented soap to make herself smell good, for fear of disturbing Su Jinge.
Su Jinge listened to the sound of water coming from the inner room, bit her lips, and her eyes were full of sadness and entanglement.
Her mother had taught her specifically about the bridal chamber so that she could retain the heart of the Emperor of the Star Kingdom after the marriage, even though he had become Lin Xi now.
But she has always been very resistant to this matter. She could never be honest with a strange man. Even if she thought Lin Xi was a good person, she couldn't do that after just knowing him for a few days.
But...she never had a choice.
Su Jinge closed her eyes and unbuttoned her pajamas with trembling hands. She took off her clothes one by one and lay naked on the bed, as if waiting for the final verdict.
Lin Xi finished washing his hair quickly and used his inner strength to dry it. He liked this world more and more. It was so convenient not to have to blow-dry his hair.
