It was past midnight when he returned to his residence. A light was left on in the living room. Xu Yanfeng changed his shoes and took off his coat as he walked towards the bedroom. Apart from the rustling sound of clothes, there was no other sound, and his movements were very gentle.
When he pushed open the door, Xia Xi was still awake. In the dim light, she was sitting on the bed looking at her phone. She was startled, then suddenly looked up and relaxed. "You're back?"
"Why haven't you slept yet?" Xu Yanfeng threw down his coat, turned his face away, and prepared to take a shower.
Xia Xi said, "Wait for you."
Throwing down her phone, she got out of bed and rushed towards Xu Yanfeng.
Xu Yanfeng took a few steps back, avoiding her active hug for the first time: "I'm sweating, I'm going to take a shower first."
"Wait a moment."
Xia Xi sensed something was wrong, narrowed her eyes and called him, then turned around and pressed the switch on the wall. The headlights came on, brightly illuminating everything. The red slap mark on Xu Yanfeng's fair face was particularly conspicuous.
Unable to avoid her, Xu Yanfeng simply faced her head-on.
Relative silence.
Xia Xi frowned and gently touched his face with her fingers: "Did your father beat you?"
Xu Yanfeng held her slender wrist and comforted her with a joke: "I didn't expect you to have the ability to predict the future. Before you left, did you ask me if my dad would hit people?"
Xia Xi couldn't laugh. Her heart ached. Her voice was dull and she said, "Didn't you say you've never seen your father beat anyone?"
"I've definitely never seen it before." Xu Yanfeng was still laughing. "At thirty, getting beaten up is a pretty novel feeling."
It was obvious that Xu Guanshan was furious. Xia Xi asked, "Does it hurt?"
Xu Yanfeng acted unconcerned, his fingertips touching the wrinkles between her eyebrows: "I'm a grown man, this little pain is nothing, it can be ignored."
Xia Xi let him go take a shower and sat on the edge of the bed, her head down, her mind wandering. When she heard Xu Yanfeng calling her from the bathroom, "Wife, I forgot to bring my pajamas."
He forgot his pajamas again.
This person has a bad memory, and it has happened several times.
Xia Xi didn't have time to think about anything else, so she immediately found some pajamas and brought them in to him.
She didn't even knock on the door, and the way they got along became more and more like an old couple.
The showerhead dripped, like warm rain, and the whole room was filled with steam. Xu Yanfeng's hair was completely wet, turning a darker shade, hanging shapelessly. His face, covered in water droplets, looked less sharp, but as handsome as a lemon on a branch with dew on it, exuding a sense of freshness. Her gaze couldn't help but slid down...
"Here, your pajamas." Xia Xi forced herself to look away and put the pajamas on the stool.
When she turned around to leave, Xu Yanfeng grabbed her and pressed her against his back.
Xia Xi's nightgown was wet and wrinkled, and was thrown aside. He tossed her over and over and gave her another bath.
She finally realized that forgetting to bring pajamas was an excuse and a signal of invitation. She had previously thought that Xu Yanfeng was too upright and never doubted him.
Lying back on the bed, Xia Xi was too tired to move. His lips were once again held by hers. When her thoughts were at their most chaotic, she was still thinking about the wound on his face. She used her remaining strength to push the man away, her bright red lips opening and closing: "No more... Wait for me."
She propped herself up and got out of bed, rummaged through the drawers and found a tube of ointment. She looked at the date and it was not expired.
He knelt on the quilt, pulled Xu Yanfeng, and asked him to turn the beaten half of his face towards him.
"Do I still need to apply medicine?" Xu Yanfeng's clothes were disheveled, and he leaned lazily against the headboard, looking like he had been ravaged. It was clearly him who was ravaging others. "It will be fine in two days."
"Didn't you look in the mirror?" Xia Xi squeezed out a soybean-sized amount of liquid into her hand and gently smeared it on his face. "You can't even face people with your face, how can you go to the company?"
She was distracted for a moment and didn't control her strength well. Xu Yanfeng frowned slightly and made a hissing sound.
Xia Xi paused and looked at him: "Didn't you say it didn't hurt?"
The movements of his hands were noticeably lighter.
Xu Yanfeng: "It's because you care so much about me that I can't help but be a little spoiled."
Xia Xi: “…”
After applying the medicine, Xia Xi fanned his face with her hand and said, "It may sting a little when you first apply it, but bear with it. This medicine is very effective and the swelling will be gone by tomorrow morning."
She screwed the cap back on the ointment, went to the bathroom to wash her hands, and got into bed.
Xu Yanfeng put his arm through the back of her neck and hugged her tightly, his lips lingering on her neck behind her ear, his breath hot and rapid: "Are you going to continue?"
Her neck was itchy, and Xia Xi tilted her head to avoid it. She didn't know where he got so much energy. She covered his mouth with her hand and said, "Be good, don't rub the ointment on your face on my neck."
Although she was very tired, she couldn't sleep much either. She pulled Xu Yanfeng aside to chat: "What did you say to your dad?"
Xu Yanfeng closed his eyes to calm the impulse in his body: "I don't remember."
"Who are you kidding? It's only been a short time and you don't remember it?"
Xu Yanfeng tried to calm his restless mind and said to her, "He didn't say anything. He was very angry and spent most of the time scolding me. Do you want me to repeat those insults to you?"
"...No need." Xia Xi knew she shouldn't laugh, but his tone was hilarious. "Nothing else?"
"The remaining half of the time was spent explaining to him. Don't worry, I don't have a bad temper like him. I'm very calm."
"Then how do you explain it?"
"I said you are my wife and the mother of my child. You and I are one. If I hit you in the face, I will hit me in the face. I can't tolerate it. If there is a next time, it will not be just this extent."
Xia Xi suddenly jumped up from his arms, eyes wide open, not even a hint of sleepiness: "Your dad must be furious, right?"
