Chapter 60 Anxiety
"Sizzle!"
He heard the sound of tearing fabric behind him. Su Wenzhen was startled and turned around to find Ye Wanning tearing at his skirt. He was stunned. "What are you doing?"
"I'll find some cloth to bandage you up," Ye Wanning said without looking up. "There's nothing in this cave, so this is all we can do. You'll have to make do."
Su Wenzhen glanced at Ye Wanning behind him, who was diligently tending to his wounds. He couldn't help but feel a little conflicted. With their sudden change in status, he was unsure how to treat her. If he clung to her as he used to, she might find it strange...
"All done!" A joyful female voice came from behind. Su Wenzhen turned around and saw Ye Wanning with a smile on her face.
"The basic steps have been done." Ye Wanning smiled. "As long as it doesn't get wet, it's fine." She glanced at Su Wenzhen's bandaged wound. She didn't know when the arrow had been pulled out. Ye Wanning frowned and looked at Su Wenzhen with some pity. It must be in a lot of pain.
Receiving Ye Wanning's gaze, Su Wenzhen smiled gently, "It doesn't hurt, it's alright."
Ye Wanning paused, looking at Su Wenzhen with some puzzlement. When he was silly, he was so naive, but now that he's recovered, he's as shrewd as ever. Ye Wanning frowned. Before she could even speak, he had already guessed what she was thinking. Ye Wanning bit her lip. Wouldn't he gain the upper hand in the future?
Thinking about it, Ye Wanning panicked and hurriedly stood up. If she couldn't win, she'd better stay far away!
Seeing Ye Wanning suddenly get up, Su Wenzhen was startled and quickly asked, "Wife, what's wrong?"
Like someone caught doing something wrong, Ye Wanning was flustered and quickly waved her hand, saying, "It's okay, it's okay."
She pointed to the fire in front of Su Wenzhen, "It's a bit cold here, I'd like to sit somewhere closer to the fire."
After saying that, Ye Wanning lifted her foot to walk to the other side, but she had just taken a step when her foot seemed to be tripped by something. She twisted her ankle, lost her balance, and fell to the side.
"ah!"
Upon seeing this, Su Wenzhen immediately stood up and caught her.
When Ye Wanning came to her senses, she found that she hadn't fallen. She was being held in Su Wenzhen's arms. In the dim firelight, Su Wenzhen's profile looked exceptionally attractive. Ye Wanning's heart skipped a beat. She had always thought he had a handsome face, and now she thought even more... Ye Wanning blushed. What was she thinking?!
Seeing Ye Wanning's expression, Su Wenzhen found it somewhat amusing. He feigned confusion and asked, "Wife, why are you blushing?"
Ye Wanning was extremely embarrassed and immediately jumped out of Su Wenzhen's arms, "I'm not blushing... Ah!"
Hearing Ye Wanning scream again, Su Wenzhen panicked and immediately reached out to catch her. He looked at Ye Wanning, his brows furrowed, and his tone was full of concern, "What's wrong?"
Ye Wanning squatted down with tears in her eyes. She glanced at her right foot, which was caught in the torn clothes she had just worn out. Damn it! Ye Wanning cursed under her breath and rubbed her right foot. "I think I twisted it. It hurts terribly now."
"Why are you so careless?" Su Wenzhen frowned, his eyes filled with anxiety.
Ye Wanning pouted. "Isn't it all for you?" She sighed, and before she could react, Su Wenzhen suddenly picked her up in his arms. Ye Wanning was startled and pushed him away, "What are you doing?"
"Good girl." Su Wenzhen looked at her. "I'll carry you to the fire. Your foot is injured and you can't move. I'll take a look at it for you later."
Hearing this, Ye Wanning's face turned as red as a tomato. He...he...what did he just say...he...he wanted to help her look at her feet? Ye Wanning suddenly felt a little dizzy and couldn't feel anything. She didn't even know that Su Wenzhen had put her down and taken off her shoes.
"Thankfully, there's no swelling."
Su Wenzhen's gentle yet exceptionally magnetic voice came through, and Ye Wanning snapped out of her daze. She saw that Su Wenzhen was holding her right foot in his hand. His hand was slightly cool, gently touching her skin. A strange feeling welled up inside her, and Ye Wanning blushed as if she had a fever. She stammered, "You...you...you..."
"Hmm?" Su Wenzhen chuckled, turning his head to see Ye Wanning's shy expression. He couldn't help but feel a desire to tease her. He looked at Ye Wanning and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
"No...no...no..." Su Wenzhen's staring gaze made Ye Wanning feel even more embarrassed. She was about to lower her head and not look at him when she saw his hand suddenly reach out.
"Your face is so red, is it from being roasted by the fire?" Su Wenzhen's voice was light and airy. "Let me see, my wife, have you caught a cold?"
A cold touch swept over her, and Ye Wanning stiffened. Was he doing this on purpose? Thinking this, she immediately reached out and slapped Su Wenzhen's hand away. "Nothing's wrong! Don't move!" she said, and tried to pull her foot back.
Su Wenzhen didn't say anything, only found it amusing. Seeing that Ye Wanning seemed to want to pull her foot back, he couldn't help but increase the pressure on his hand.
Seeing that several attempts had failed, Ye Wanning became even more certain that this guy was indeed flirting with her! Ye Wanning was both ashamed and angry, and shouted, "Let go of me!"
"I won't let go." Su Wenzhen looked at Ye Wanning, his phoenix eyes half-closed. "Why should I let go? Besides, you sprained your ankle, and I'm helping you treat your injury."
Ye Wanning was getting anxious. She thought for a long time but couldn't come up with a suitable reason. Then she said in a flustered manner, "Healing injuries... won't work either! Men and women shouldn't touch each other!"
"Pfft..." Hearing Ye Wanning say that, Su Wenzhen couldn't help but laugh. He looked at Ye Wanning with a deep smile in his eyes. "My wife, don't forget that you are the wife I married in a proper ceremony, and I am your husband."
As he spoke, Su Wenzhen smiled wickedly, "It's only natural for me to touch you!"
"You!" Ye Wanning was speechless for a moment, then said with a hint of helplessness, "You are shameless!"
"Is this what you call shameless?" Su Wenzhen smiled and said, "How about this?" After saying that, he leaned over and lunged at Ye Wanning.
Ye Wanning was startled, not knowing what he was going to do. Before she could dodge, the back of her head was firmly pressed down, rendering her unable to move. A soft touch came from her lips, and Ye Wanning immediately felt her whole body become light and airy. A current rushed to her head, and she felt like she was about to explode!
He stole a kiss successfully! Su Wenzhen retreated with a smile, watching Ye Wanning's changing expression with great interest.
It took Ye Wanning a long while to come to her senses, but the blush on her face wouldn't fade. "You...you...you..."
Su Wenzhen smiled, his eyes narrowed. "Just as I thought, my wife smells wonderful!"
Ye Wanning was extremely embarrassed. "Shameless!" she said, and then kicked Su Wenzhen hard. Only then did she realize that if he kept teasing her like this, he would eat her alive in the future!
Ye Wanning bit her lip, her eyes filled with anger, "I'm going to divorce you when we get back this time!"
Upon hearing this, Su Wenzhen's heart skipped a beat, and he stopped what he was doing. He glanced at Ye Wanning but remained silent. The flickering firelight illuminated his face, making him appear unusually melancholy.
When Su Wenzhen suddenly stopped talking, Ye Wanning felt her heart skip a beat. Su Wenzhen's background was already tragic, and after they got married, he always clung to her tightly. Was what he just said a bit too much?
Thinking about it, Ye Wanning looked at him with some guilt and said, "Wenzhen... are you angry...? I... I... I was just teasing you..."
Su Wenzhen looked up and glanced at Ye Wanning for a long while before finally saying, "Then I'll forgive you if you kiss me."
Ye Wanning's lips twitched. What an arrogant guy!
