Chapter 195 The atmosphere's right, time to do something else (sweet, sweet, sweet)
Liu Nian kept an eye on the factory, while Wu Qianli kept an eye on the hospital. They knew this matter couldn't be rushed; they had to investigate slowly. They wanted to see who would lose their composure in the end, so they could follow the clues and find the mastermind behind it all.
The ordeal had been going on for several days, but that wasn't what worried Liu Nian the most. What kept Liu Nian on edge was Su Xu.
Su Xu's large gash was a shocking sight. Liu Nian would look at it every now and then, her eyes filled with heartache, and then she would scoop out a large dollop of royal jelly and apply it to his face.
"Does it hurt?" Liu Nian didn't dare to use her fingers too hard. She carefully touched the area around the wound with her fingertips and quickly withdrew them.
The wound was very red and swollen before, but it has mostly subsided now because it required several stitches. However, it still looks a bit scary.
Su Xu sat on the kang (a heated brick bed), and with one hand he pulled her into his arms, wrapping his arms around the woman's slender waist. Su Xu looked up and said, "It hurts so much."
He rested his chin on her chest and rubbed against her like a spoiled puppy.
Upon hearing her husband say he was in pain, Liu Nian's heart immediately jumped, and she said nervously, "Let me see if I can buy any special medicine or something."
Liu Nian's eyes were full of anxiety, clearly ignoring the man's coquettish tone. The tough man could only say in a soft tone, "Wife, blow on me and it won't hurt anymore."
“When I was little, if other kids got hurt, the adults in their families would say that blowing on it would make it feel better.” A hint of disappointment flashed in Su Xu’s eyes. “No one ever blew on it for me.”
The man tilted his head, turned his injured face toward her, and said, "Just think of it as you feeling sorry for me."
The listener felt a pang of sadness at her melancholy tone. Liu Nian felt a lump in her throat, unable to breathe, and inexplicably wanted to cry.
She cupped Su Xu's face in her hands and gently kissed the edge of his wound with her soft lips.
She spoke softly, "Ah Xu, if we blow on it, it won't hurt anymore, it won't hurt anymore."
A warm breath wafted over him, and a gentle breeze brushed against his cheeks and ears.
Su Xu closed his eyes, gripping the woman's waist tightly. He could almost imagine that her eyes must be misty and shimmering with light.
The light and shadow in her eyes were blurred and shattered by the moisture, and as the mist gathered, they slid down.
Su Xu opened his eyes and saw Liu Nian with tears in the corners of her eyes.
"I was just kidding, I don't feel any pain at all." Su Xu hurriedly and helplessly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
He knew his woman cared about him and loved him, and that was enough.
Liu Nian shook her head, straddled the man's lap, and hugged his neck. She said, "Who says our Ah Xu can't say she's in pain, can't feel wronged, can't get sick? She can."
“I know I neglected you before, I always thought you were indestructible, and I didn’t care about you enough.” Liu Nian began to blame herself again. “I know I didn’t do well, I’m not a good wife, I’m sorry.”
Liu Nian always believed that Su Xu was a tough guy. He would always be a wall, always standing behind her and in front of her. He would always be there for her whenever she needed him.
But this man can also be weak, and there are times when he needs her!
Su Xu pressed his face against Liu Nian's, rested his chin on her neck, and then closed his eyes, enjoying the tranquil moment.
Su Xu didn't say anything, because as long as Liu Nian was by his side, it was the greatest blessing for him, and there was nothing more important than that.
The two embraced each other, listening to each other's breathing. Su Xu turned his head, pressed his lips to her neck, and slowly moved his hands down.
"Hey!" Liu Nian twisted her body to avoid it, "It tickles!"
Su Xu gasped. His little woman was squirming and twisting on his lap, which he couldn't stand.
He immediately grabbed Liu Nian by the waist and picked her up.
Suddenly—"Ah—"
"ah!"
