Chapter 177 A Wise Husband at Home
The night was quiet at one o'clock in the morning, and even the few rays of moonlight that slipped in through the window carried a docile tranquility.
When Xia Zhen woke up, the first thing she did was not to open her eyes, but to lazily reach out and touch the person next to her. She didn't touch anyone. She opened her sleepy eyes but did not see the person who should have been lying next to her.
What happened?
Did that guy desert his post afterward?
Xia Zhen sat up in bed and looked at the clothes she was wearing. They were oversized men's shirts, which Lu Jin had temporarily taken out of the closet to give her as pajamas.
I reckon this garment will be all wrinkled by tomorrow morning.
Through the crack in the door, you could see a faint light coming from the living room.
She threw off the covers and got out of bed in her slippers, but she overestimated herself. Her legs went weak as soon as she stood up. She sat on the bed to recover and glanced at her legs again.
The long shirt covered her upper thighs, but what was striking was the suggestive marks on her ankles.
He seemed to love her legs, especially her ankles.
When she protested, he leaned down and said in a hoarse voice, "I've wanted to do this for a long time..."
How long ago?
Was it because they weren't "familiar" yet, when he applied medicine to her leg?
It was at the sports meet, when she strode across the field with her flawless legs and won first place for him.
Or perhaps, she revealed her relationship with him while, amidst the tension of the "two countries' talks," her foot was still secretly teasing him under the table?
But the boy didn't want to waste such a precious time explaining to her. Under the lamplight, all that could be seen was his shadow rising and falling.
Xia Zhen thought about the novels she had read. Shouldn't a qualified boyfriend kiss and hug his girlfriend the moment she wakes up?
But he was nowhere to be seen.
She wanted to see what he was doing.
Xia Zhen tiptoed to the door, opened it, and saw a brightly lit living room. There were also faint, deliberately suppressed noises coming from the bathroom.
Through the semi-transparent door, one could vaguely see the tall, thin figure of the boy.
Xia Zhen listened for a while but couldn't figure out what he was doing. She grabbed the doorknob and suddenly pushed the door open. "Lu Jin!"
Undoubtedly, the people inside were startled.
He looked at her, unusually slow to react.
Xia Zhen walked over and asked, "What are you doing sneakily?"
"I..." Lu Jin turned slightly to the side, somewhat embarrassed, "I didn't do anything."
Xia Zhen walked right past him and saw the small pink fabric in the boy's hand. She blinked blankly for a while, and then looked up at him with a strange expression.
Lu Jin's hands tightened involuntarily. He explained with difficulty, "I'll wash it and dry it, so I can wear it in the morning."
It's unclear whether Lu Qi was thoughtful or careless; he prepared Lu Jin's clothes in the wardrobe but not any clothes for the girl.
It was as if they were deliberately waiting for Lu Jin to be embarrassed one day.
Xia Zhen glanced to the side, "There's a washing machine."
He gave a dry explanation: "It's unhealthy to wash girls' underwear in a washing machine."
Lu Jin is a very restrained person. He originally thought that satisfying her once would be enough. He didn't want her to be uncomfortable, but she was so enthusiastic that she grabbed him and did it again. In the end, she was so tired that she fell asleep, but he never fell asleep.
He watched her quietly in the dimly lit room for a long, long time. It was only recently that he realized her clothes were dirty, so he carefully left the room without waking her.
He had already washed almost all of her clothes, including her skirt and the two small pieces of fabric she wore underneath. If she got back to school late because of her clothes and missed her morning classes, who knows what people would say about her.
Even if they did legally do what couples do, he didn't want any gossip to target her.
Lu Jin was still wearing the same clothes that she had rubbed so much that they were all wrinkled. The long sleeves of his white shirt were rolled up, and the lines on his forearms, which he had worked out, were clearly strong. But they were wet with water droplets, and he was still awkwardly holding the pink fabric that seemed to clash with him.
The boy, who had just been satisfied not long ago, now possessed an irresistible charm for her.
Xia Zhen suddenly felt like acting cute towards him. She snuggled into his arms and hugged his strong, slender waist. She still remembered how powerful his waist and abdomen were, and how gentle his breath was.
She buried her face in his warm embrace, which was filled with his scent, and let out a soft sob.
Lu Jin's hands were wet, making it difficult for him to hug her. He asked anxiously, "Zhenzhen, what's wrong?"
"miss you."
He was right in front of her, but she still missed him.
Lu Jin didn't understand what her sudden emotional outburst was. He hurriedly put down what he was holding, wiped his hands with a dry towel, and then hugged her.
He didn't know if the girl felt insecure because their relationship had progressed further. He was both anxious and fearful. "Don't be afraid, I will always be good to you."
Xia Zhen looked up and burst out laughing. "You don't think I've changed my mind, do you?"
Lu Jin looked down at her, timid as a mouse, and had no courage to respond.
Xia Zhen nuzzled against his chest. "Don't think too much about it. I just want to be affectionate with you. Just hug me and give me a kiss right now."
He lowered his head and kissed her, just as she had said.
Xia Zhen glanced down and asked innocently, "Didn't you say you were going to wash my clothes? Why are you getting all worked up about it?"
His gaze darted away uncomfortably for a moment, but his answer was quite honest: "It's hard for me not to overthink things."
Xia Zhen grinned wickedly, "Didn't I satisfy you just now? How about..."
He lowered his head and silenced her with a kiss, preventing her from saying anything more offensive.
Xia Zhen took the opportunity to stand on tiptoe. He knew very well that she wanted him to pick her up. She always liked to cling to him when kissing.
Lu Jin supported her body with one hand, and her legs wrapped around his waist like a koala.
The girl was only wearing a shirt, which of course couldn't cover up much. She had also deliberately unbuttoned two buttons, and the traces of their previous passion were about to be revealed.
Lu Jin felt his blood rush to his head, but he still retreated slightly, panting. Under her dissatisfied gaze, he helplessly kissed the corner of her lips, "Excessive indulgence is harmful to the body."
