Chapter 5 Excuse Me
Yu Qinghuan only felt an itch on the back of her neck and wanted to reach out and scratch it, but she held back. She could hear the clear breathing sounds beside her ears and smell the scent of bath beans coming from the other person, which was fresh and clean, and it was obvious that he had just washed.
Unlike Yu Qinghuan, Xie Zhili could clearly smell the faint fragrance coming from Yu Qinghuan's hair. The person in his arms was delicate and soft, petite and adorable, especially her extremely thin waist, which made people want to break it. He really wanted to see what it looked like when such a beautiful pair of eyes cried.
He felt a nameless fire burning in his throat. His fingers untied the belt, and the inner garment slipped off his shoulders. His palms touched the slender waist, and then he realized that what the little maid had said just now... was true.
Xie Zhili said in a hoarse voice, "Excuse me."
Yu Qinghuan's body tensed up when she heard the voice. Cold sweat broke out on her palms. Her heart beat rapidly due to nervousness. She looked around quickly, fearing that Xie Zhiwen's ghost was there.
At this time, Xie Zhili's breathing gradually became turbid. He picked up the person in front of him by the waist and walked towards the bed.
The dim candlelight flickered as Yu Qinghuan was carried to the bed by Xie Zhili. She felt her vision blurry and felt a large hand wandering over her body. In an instant, she remembered the dream.
But the real Xie Zhili was completely different from the one in the dream, and the real Xie Zhiwen had died long ago, so how could he appear outside the door?
Even if there really is a ghost in this house, I can't see it as a human being.
Thinking of this, Yu Qinghuan felt a little relieved from the burden in her heart. When she sensed the foreign object, the pain she felt before suddenly made her so nervous that she closed her eyes. She unconsciously grabbed the neck of the person in front of her with both hands and bit her lips.
Listening to the voice beside her, Xie Zhili's eyes suddenly softened a little, and his cold voice soothed her in her ear, "Don't be afraid."
Yu Qinghuan bit her lips tightly to prevent herself from screaming.
Like long-dry sand encountering a clear spring.
Yu Qinghuan could no longer tell the difference between north and south.
Suddenly, a familiar warm current surged through her, and her lower abdomen ached. Yu Qinghuan thought to herself that something bad was going to happen.
At this time, Xie Zhili looked at Yu Qinghuan's blushing face, and his heart became even hotter. He withdrew his hand and was about to take a step further, but was stopped by Yu Qinghuan.
Yu Qinghuan gritted her teeth and tightly grasped Xie Zhili's hand. She pretended to be shy, avoiding his gaze. Her ears were completely red. "...I'm afraid I can't make it today."
Upon hearing this, Xie Zhili's eyes instantly regained clarity. He thought that Yu Qinghuan was not ready yet and should be given some time to accept it.
Xie Zhili's lips curved slightly, "It's okay, it won't be too late when you're mentally prepared."
Yu Qinghuan stumbled over her explanation, "It's not what you think... I was already prepared, but..."
Xie Zhili: “?”
Facing Xie Zhili's cold eyes, he didn't ask anything, but just listened to her quietly. Yu Qinghuan opened her mouth and said, "I'm having my period."
Xie Zhili: “…”
As soon as she said this, Yu Qinghuan regretted it and her ears felt hot. She never thought that one day she would personally tell such a private matter to a man outside her family, and to this man at that.
Realizing Yu Qinghuan's embarrassment, Xie Zhili pulled the quilt over Yu Qinghuan and sat up from the bed.
"Menstruation is not something to be ashamed of. You don't need to worry."
Yu Qinghuan: "..."
She wanted to say something, but she saw that the other party had already gotten off the couch and was putting on his shoes, so she could only swallow her words back into her throat silently.
Facing Xie Zhili's back, Yu Qing's expression returned to normal in an instant, without any trace of shyness and embarrassment from before.
Xie Zhili is really sincere. When he covers her with a quilt, only her eyes are exposed. Why not cover her forehead as well?
At this time, Xie Zhili had already picked up the outer robe scattered on the ground and put it on. He caught a glimpse of Yu Qinghuan's clothes scattered on the ground. He hesitated for a moment, then bent down to pick them up and put them away.
Seeing this scene, Yu Qinghuan was stunned for a while, but he was thoughtful and considerate.
Although my late husband was gentle and considerate, he would always turn over and fall asleep after sex. He wouldn't even put away his own clothes, let alone hers. This person is truly incomparable to others.
As soon as this thought came to her mind, Yu Qinghuan immediately apologized to Xie Zhiwen in her heart. The man was dead, so how could she compare him with other men? It was really wrong.
At this time, Xie Zhili had just put Yu Qinghuan's clothes away, and saw some clothes scattered in the corner beside the bed. He picked it up, but was stunned when he saw what was in his hand. It was a close-fitting item as thin as a cicada's wing, with only two embroidered flowers on it, which could not cover anything at all.
Seeing the bellyband in Xie Zhili's hand, Yu Qinghuan's eyes widened immediately: "!"
Meeting Xie Zhili's gaze, she immediately began to explain, "Don't misunderstand! These were prepared by Li Po, who works for my mother. I originally wanted Sang Ru to throw them away, but somehow this girl didn't lose them..."
She wanted to explain that she didn't wear these and had never worn them before.
But the words were on the tip of his tongue, but he couldn't say them. After all, there seemed no need to explain these to Xie Zhili.
After all, the person in front of him is not only not Xie Zhiwen, but also Xie Zhiwen's younger brother.
The words were stuck on her lips. After a while, she blushed and blurted out, "Put it back."
Xie Zhili looked calm as usual. He responded and put the things in his hand back on the ground. "Rest well, I'll go call someone in."
However, Yu Qinghuan didn't want to pay attention to him and silently buried her remaining eyes in the quilt. She was so embarrassed in front of Xie Zhili.
Seeing this scene, Xie Zhili couldn't help but laugh. He didn't think these things belonged to Yu Qinghuan, but Yu Qinghuan's reaction made him feel interesting.
He dressed neatly, walked to the door and opened it.
Sang Ru, who was eavesdropping on the door, suddenly lost her balance and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Xie Zhili in the room helped her.
Seeing the neatly dressed Second Master, Sang Ru was dumbfounded and subconsciously said what she was thinking, "So soon?"
Xie Zhili: “?”
Sang Ru realized that she had said something wrong and shut up silently. She was worried that the Second Master would make trouble for his wife, but she was able to dress neatly in such a short time. She was really worrying for nothing.
Xie Zhili didn't know what Sang Ru was thinking. He just instructed the little maid in front of him, "Your wife is feeling unwell due to her menstrual period. Please take good care of her."
After he finished speaking, he walked out of the house and went straight to the side room on the other side of the yard.
In a corner where no one could see, Xie Zhili stared at the hand under his sleeve, gently rubbing and kneading it with his fingertips, repeatedly caressing it, as if the warmth from just now was still lingering on it.
A dark light appeared in his cold eyes, and the corners of his tightly pursed lips curled up... As long as it belonged to Xie Zhiwen, Xie Zhili wanted it, including people.
