Chapter 162: Men mislead people
Xie Wanyun saw that everyone else was taking their families to see doctors, and discussed with them whether they should take Yang Shi to the clinic as soon as possible, as she was burning up and getting worse.
Yun Chaoxue said, "No need, I can treat him. Put him on the bed first."
Move the belongings and people upstairs to the private room, and put the people on the bed.
Yun Zhaoxue took her pulse first, and she suddenly gripped Yun Zhaoxue's hand tightly, "Ning'er, Ning'er..."
"Alas!" the others sighed, for the dead cannot be brought back to life.
Xiao Xiuning put arsenic in the grain to poison them.
Xiao Xiuning's death is a good thing for them.
Now that she's back, her mother will surely soften her heart and ask them to forgive her this time, and even let Xiao Xiuning join their family's group.
They can't even take care of themselves, let alone have so much sorrow for her.
They couldn't understand why Yang didn't hate them. She wasn't their biological child and had betrayed them; they couldn't forgive her without any reservations.
Yun Zhaoxue took his pulse and said, "It's caused by excessive worry and a cold. It's not a big problem. Acupuncture and medicine will help, and you'll get better soon."
She took out her silver needle pouch and had someone undress Yang.
Xiao Xuance and Xiao Xuanwu turned their backs to each other.
After administering the acupuncture, he wrote a prescription and sent someone to get the medicine.
During this time, they also fed her spiritual spring water.
Yang couldn't drink it, so Yun Zhaoxue grabbed her chin and forced her to drink it.
"Cough cough..."
"this……"
The others watched in terror.
Song Mingyan used a handkerchief to wipe the water stains from the corners of her lips. "Third sister-in-law, shall I do it?"
Xiao Xuance went to get the medicine.
Xie Wanyun used the inn's kitchen to brew the medicine. After feeding her the medicine, everyone was exhausted.
They discussed how to allocate the rooms. There were three rooms; if the couple shared one room, Xiao Xuanwu, Jun'er, and Ming'er would share another, and the others would be a bit cramped.
Xie Wanyun and the others all wanted to stay and protect Yang Shi.
Yun Zhaoxue definitely wouldn't snatch it; all she wanted now was to have a proper meal, take a bath, and lie down to rest.
“There are two low couches in the room. They can be put together to make a bed for two people. One of us and my mother took care of each other closely.”
"Okay! We'll book four more rooms next time, but we probably don't have any rooms left now."
"Xiao Wu, you will share a room with Jun'er and Ming'er."
"I share a room with Shu'er and my mother, and my eldest sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, and Xian'er share a room."
Xiao Xuance asked the waiter to bring up some food and hot water.
After Yun Zhaoxue finished eating and rested for a while, she took a bath. While she was bathing, Xiao Xuance went out and returned shortly afterward with a bag of clean clothes, including a nightgown and an undergarment.
They also made her lock the door from the inside.
After she finished washing and changed into clean clothes, Xiao Xuance returned shortly afterward. "Knock knock!!"
"You're back? I'm done washing up. You can have someone change the water and you can continue washing."
Xiao Xuance glanced at the bathtub that was faintly visible behind the screen; nothing could be hidden.
He picked up his undergarment from the table.
"I'll go to the bathroom in the backyard to shower, and then have someone carry the tub away in a bit."
"Just wash here. Going to the backyard requires queuing. Look at the long line down there. You won't get a turn tonight."
Xiao Xuance: "I'll go outside to wash."
"What are you afraid of? It's not like we haven't seen it before. Just wash it here, I promise I won't look, okay?"
Back in the 22nd century, with the internet so advanced, what hadn't she seen?
The images of naked, muscular men—not in a pornographic way—are posted online for people to view openly. Experts say that looking at handsome men can relieve stress.
Others dedicate themselves to art, while they simply appreciate it.
She experiences a lot of work pressure and wants to relax by browsing online.
It's so frustrating not being able to watch it on my phone.
When Xiao Xuance heard her say that, he realized there was indeed a long queue below, and if he went down to wash, he would definitely not be able to get a turn until very late.
Thinking this, I asked the waiter to change the water.
The weather is hot now, so taking a cold shower isn't cold at all. There's no need to wait for the kitchen to boil water; the waiter quickly and efficiently replaces the water in a bucket with cold water.
Yun Zhaoxue lay bored on the bed. The curtain was drawn, and she could vaguely see him walk behind the screen, lift the curtain, and peek out.
The candlelight flickered, and the figure behind the screen in the dimly lit room was indistinct.
He took off his prison uniform, draped it over the screen, and loosened his belt, causing his white undergarment to slip off his shoulders.
The silhouette of broad shoulders and a narrow waist is reflected on the silk like a silhouette.
He had a broad back, but his waist was slender and narrow, a very standard male dog waist, strong and powerful.
He is the type who looks slim in clothes but has a muscular physique when undressed.
I had seen it once in a prison cell before, but it was a messy environment where people were lying down. Now, separated by a screen, the atmosphere was incredibly immersive, and I couldn't help but swallow hard.
Such a perfect figure is suitable to be made into a specimen and preserved forever.
Xiao Xuance took off his pants and sat in the bathtub wearing only his underpants.
Yun Zhaoxue had used this bath tub before. The waiter knew they were a couple, so he didn't use soap or wood ash to scrub her, as if the fragrance of her body still lingered.
Images of Qingfeng Village flashed through his mind, as did their kiss, and the softness of her against his arm last night as she nestled in his embrace…
She even fantasized about the two of them in the prison cell, about a tender and intimate scene that she could no longer remember. Her ears instantly turned bright red, and even her neck turned crimson.
His breathing was heavy, and his eyes were filled with a dark, turbulent light.
I shook my head, trying to banish those shameful images; I couldn't think about them anymore.
He scooped up a handful of cold water and splashed it on his face, "Slap!"
Water droplets slid down his taut jawline and finally disappeared into the bathtub.
Silently reciting the purification mantra, the evil thoughts in his heart grew stronger and stronger. Noticing that it was very quiet on her side, he assumed she was asleep and slowly reached down...
After taking a bath, I stepped out of the tub, dried myself, dressed, and walked out from behind the screen. The bed curtains were drawn without making a sound, and I quietly walked towards the bed.
Approaching the bed, it felt as if there was no other person in the room.
Could she have gone out? I didn't hear the door open just now. Could she have been kidnapped?
"Xue'er!" He hurriedly opened the curtain.
"What's wrong?" Yun Zhaoxue was peeking at her figure through the screen when her adrenaline suddenly surged. She rolled around on the bed for a while, struggling with the decision, but finally decided to stop. She was just about to get out of bed and pin the person down in the bathtub to satisfy her needs when she suddenly started bleeding from her nose.
Being attracted to men is a disgrace, so shameful. Not wanting to be discovered by him, I hid in my spatial dimension to deal with the bleeding. I tilted my head back to stop the bleeding and then drank some spiritual spring water to cool down.
Noticing someone approaching, they quickly came out of the space.
Luckily, she came out before he lifted the curtain, otherwise he would definitely have thought she was a monster.
Xiao Xuance asked, puzzled, "Were you in bed the whole time?"
"Where could I go if I'm not in bed? Are you going to roll under the bed? Why are you so nervous? Is it because of the baby or because you're worried about me?"
Xiao Xuance immediately gave a perfect answer, "I'm nervous. You are my wife and children. I'm worried something might happen to you."
Yun Zhaoxue pulled him down, hooking her arm around his neck. "Just because I'm your wife?"
Is it because of a sense of responsibility, or because of... liking or love?
Xiao Xuance was about to answer yes, but she was his wife, and he had a responsibility and obligation to care for and protect them.
But her tone clearly indicated dissatisfaction with the answer.
The man shook his head.
Yun Zhaoxue leaned closer to him, her eyes sparkling, her crimson lips brushing against his sensual lips, her breath sweet as orchids. She raised her eyebrows and seductively asked, "Then what else is it because of?"
Xiao Xuance knelt on one knee by the bed, his Adam's apple bobbing, and said uncertainly, "Because I... I signed a contract of servitude for you? As a subordinate, I have an obligation to protect my master."
He couldn't let her discover the secret in the bathtub.
Yun Zhaoxue was not satisfied with this answer and pushed his shoulder.
When his wound was touched, the muscles in his shoulder twitched involuntarily.
"Sit down." Yun Zhaoxue moved over to let him sit down and then began to loosen his belt.
Xiao Xuance was taken aback. He pressed down on her hand, pulled off her sash, and quickly took two steps back. "No, you're still pregnant."
Yun Zhaoxue chuckled: "What do you think I'm going to do? Do you think I'm that thirsty? I just want to apply medicine to you."
Xiao Xuance breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, but was also somewhat disappointed. Did she have absolutely no desire for that? His gaze fell on the bathtub behind the screen, his expression complex.
He couldn't control his impure thoughts whenever he saw her.
He loosened his belt, removed his inner garment, and then slapped his upper chest, revealing several bright red scratch marks on his shoulder.
The wolf king's claws are sharper than those of ordinary wolves, with a deep gash that exposes the bone.
"You're injured and you don't even treat it, and you even touch it with cold water. Are you trying to make the wound worse?" Yun Zhaoxue pulled out the medicine box from under the bed, opened it, used tweezers to hold a cotton ball, soaked it in alcohol, and applied it to the wound to disinfect it.
"It's just a minor injury, no... it hurts a lot." He had endured more serious injuries on the battlefield before, so this little injury was just a tickle to him.
He said it didn't hurt much, but secretly he wanted Yun Zhaoxue to care about him more.
"You poor thing, nobody cares about you except me."
It wasn't her manipulation; he was so badly hurt, yet no one noticed.
At the age of 22, she had to shoulder the heavy responsibility of taking care of the whole family, under immense pressure, with no one to care for her and no one to treat her injuries.
Isn't she just a pitiful little thing?
Xiao Xuance did not refute her; she was right.
His large hand enveloped her small hand, his phoenix eyes shimmering with gentle light, the corners of his eyes slightly red, as he gazed deeply at her, "Having you care about me is enough!"
He is not greedy, nor does he need anyone's concern.
Yun Zhaoxue stared at him for a moment. Not only was he tall and handsome, but his affectionate gaze and face were also stunning.
Knowing that he was tempting people to commit crimes in the middle of the night, he coughed lightly and said, "It's good that you know."
