Chapter 170 My Little Zhou Zhou is Missing
Zhou Jiuzhen's hand, which was about to take the towel, froze in mid-air. His mouth trembled, and he stammered, "I... my hand isn't fully healed yet, so could you please... help me wash it?"
Ling Huanwu nodded, a smile playing on her lips.
Who was it that woke up in the middle of the night last night and immediately got up to change the coal, clean up the rust, and read and write?
"That's right, you've been lying in bed for over a year, your hands and feet must be clumsy by now, let me help you wipe..."
As Ling Huanwu spoke, she unbuttoned his shirt one button at a time, peeling it like an eggshell.
He obediently raised his hand and complied with her actions of taking off her clothes.
After lying in bed for a year, the man who used to be all muscle and had eight-pack abs is now just thin skin, pale with a hint of pink, and has a sickly air about him.
The rough, textured towel slid down along the barely visible V-line...
Ling Huanwu felt a little thirsty, so she got up, poured herself a glass of water, gulped it down, wrung out a towel, and looked seriously at the shy man on the bed. "Take off your pants. It's good that you're awake now. You don't know how much thicker my arms have gotten from helping you take off your clothes and lift your legs every day!"
"oh oh!"
Zhou Jiuzhen blushed instantly to the roots of his ears, but still obediently began to undress.
"Take off more!"
"oh!"
"Take it off again! Otherwise, how am I supposed to wash it?"
Zhou Jiuzhen's face turned bright red, and he placed his hand on his last line of defense, barely daring to look her in the eye. "I'll... wash it myself!"
Ling Huanwu was amused by his appearance and tilted her head to get closer to his lowered head. "Is this the innocent Zhou Jiuzhen of eighteen, or the big bad wolf Zhou Jiuzhen of twenty-three? Can we get to know each other again?"
Zhou Jiuzhen raised his reddened eyes, stared at the woman's moist red lips so close to his own, and licked his lips. "Why don't you come and ask her yourself?"
As he spoke, he pulled the woman who had been stirring things up into a passionate embrace, showering her with kisses...
Outside, the waves kissed the beach, dragging out ripples of sand before slowly receding into the deep sea.
Ling Huanwu pinched the soft flesh on Zhou Jiuzhen's waist and cried loudly in his arms.
Zhou Jiuzhen looked flustered and confused. "What happened? Did I kiss you too hard?"
But he had just woken up and didn't have any strength at all!
Ling Huanwu looked up and wiped away her tears, tugging at his thinner face, "I'm crying because my eighteen-year-old Zhou Jiuzhen is gone, sob sob sob..."
She cried again, her sobs were deafening.
Zhou Jiuzhen's face darkened, and he felt a little jealous. "How do you know I'm not the eighteen-year-old me?"
"How could eighteen-year-old Zhou Zhou be so affectionate with me? He's still an innocent young man, even his kissing is clumsy, I have to teach him!"
"Oh, my little Zhou Zhou, why can't you come back? Waaaaah..."
Zhou Jiuzhen completely broke down, his eyebrows drooping as he swallowed his own jealousy, "What's so great about that eighteen-year-old Zhou Zhou? She's so silly, all she does is talk, and you have to work hard on top of her, unlike me..."
Ling Huanwu, who had been faking her tears, immediately stopped crying. Instead, she reached out and pinched his mouth into a duck shape with two fingers, clicking her tongue and saying, "Old Zhou Zhou, don't you know shame? Little Zhou Zhou knows her mistakes and can correct them. She has a sweet mouth and even proposed to me. Unlike you, who has the hardest mouth of all, like a silent gourd!"
Zhou Jiuzhen's face was puffed up with anger, his eyes filled with despair. He argued with his duckbill, "I can... I can be sweet-talking too, Huan, I... I miss you so much!"
Ling Huanwu released her grip on his duckbill, slowly stood up, and looked at him, her gaze meeting his eyes.
She untied the hair tie, inserted her fingertips into the strands of hair, and the braided pigtail slowly loosened into long, wavy, seaweed-like hair that fell to her waist.
The pale yellow sweater made her look as if she were bathed in golden light, shimmering in the candlelight.
She gradually shed her clothes, revealing a captivating beauty that left Zhou Jiuzhen mesmerized.
"Don't be like this," Zhou Jiuzhen turned his head away, exuding righteousness. "It's not that I'm worried about your health, besides, I haven't fully recovered yet, I can't..."
As he spoke, Ling Huanwu had already taken off one pair of long johns and was taking off the third pair, looking puzzled. "What nonsense are you thinking? Do you think I'm that thirsty? I'm worried that Aunt Liu and the triplets are still in the space, and I want to see if I can open it."
She held up the thermal underwear in her hand, glanced at Zhou Jiuzhen on the bed, her gaze lingering on his waist, and continued thoughtfully, "But you're right, you've just recovered, and forcing things won't work, so this space definitely can't be opened. I'm going to take a shower now!"
"Oh, right, you can wipe the rest yourself..."
After saying that, Ling Huanwu put on her last pair of long johns, picked up a bucket, and ran to the toilet outside the factory to take a shower in her slippers.
Zhou Jiuzhen froze on the bed, patting his stubborn mouth as if he wanted to cut it off and give it away.
He was just being polite and trying to act like a gentleman, how could he ruin such a wonderful night?
Outside.
Having eavesdropped all night, Zhao Jingxiang leaned against the wall with a gloomy expression.
He took several deep breaths before he managed to suppress his anger.
His original plans were completely disrupted by Zhou Jiuzhen's awakening.
Initially, he wanted to sabotage Ling Huanwu's sewing team, so he stole her design drawings and gave them to other sewing teams in an attempt to undermine her.
Unexpectedly, she was so alert that she made other styles of clothing, allowing those special students to shine.
And through this, he got in touch with the local council president.
It would be a lie to say it wasn't shocking.
For the first time, he felt that Ling Huanwu's strength was more impressive than her appearance.
As someone who also intended to contribute to the national economy, he changed his mind and didn't want to ruin her career or bury her talent.
That's why he took the risk of trying to make her his woman, but he never expected that Zhou Jiuzhen's sudden awakening would ruin everything.
Zhao Jingxiang looked at the surging sea not far away, a slight smile curving his lips.
Now that someone has woken up, their real battle has begun.
He wanted to see if Zhou Jiuzhen would still choose Ling Huanwu without hesitation when faced with his own interests.
Would Ling Huanwu give up her career for him?
A series of rustling sounds came from inside the house. Zhao Jingxiang listened to the blushing voices inside, and slowly disappeared into the dark night with his numb legs.
Inside the house.
Ling Huanwu screamed repeatedly.
"Are you out of your mind? Get down here!"
"Okay, okay, come back tomorrow after your medical checkup..."
"Ahhh... If you faint like this, I won't be able to explain it to my mother. Your back... be careful... ugh..."
"Why aren't you saying anything? Can't you reply with a word or two? Eighteen-year-old Zhou Zhou is still the best!"
"Ah! What's wrong? Jiuzhen, Jiuzhen, wake up! Someone's coming!"
