Chapter 321 The Calm Lake (61)
Xu Chaoyan felt a little uncomfortable under his intense gaze. She quickly snatched the cloth from him and urged him to go back and rest, saying, "Go drink some hangover soup and go back to rest."
Upon hearing this, Meng Jiuhe's face immediately fell. But then, remembering what Shen Siheng had just whispered to him, he perked up again.
He looked pained, holding his head with one hand as he leaned against her.
"My wife, I'm so dizzy. Could you help me sit down and cook me a bowl of sweet rice balls in fermented rice wine? It's been so long since I've had your sweet soup."
Xu Chaoyan wondered why the person who was fine just now was probably drunk and couldn't get along with the drunkard. She subtly moved back a little.
She thought to herself that the person who was just speaking so seriously to her colleague was now acting all frail and weak; no one would believe that he was trying to deceive her.
"If you're dizzy, go back and rest. Why are you eating dumplings? I don't have the time to make these for you. Your little sister Qiao'er is very skillful; why don't you have her cook some and bring them over?"
Xu Chaoyan hadn't intended to say these things at all, but for some reason, they just slipped out involuntarily.
When Meng Jiu heard what she said, her brows furrowed slightly. Before she could even react, her feet were off the ground, and she was lifted into someone's arms and spun around.
At this moment, Meng Jiu's face was flushed red. The two faces were very close, and their breathing could be clearly heard. The warm breath brushed directly against her cheek.
After a moment, she regained her composure: "Meng Jiu, what are you doing? Put me down right now, are you trying to kill me to make room?"
Meng Jiuhe walked to the bedside without saying a word, and gently placed her on the bed as if she were a precious object.
Before she could even react to what this person was about to do, Meng Jiu's warm lips were already on hers. He gently began to tease her. What started as a tentative exploration gradually grew increasingly impatient, causing her to bump into him several times. She struggled to break free for a long time without success.
Mmm, like being refreshed by rain after a storm, I couldn't get enough of kissing those soft, flower-petal-like lips until we were both panting before we finally separated.
Meng Jiu took a deep breath to suppress the palpitations and strange feeling. Looking at his wife, who was in a daze, he gently kissed her forehead and said softly, "Wife, wait a moment, I'll go wash up."
Xu Chaoyan hadn't even finished speaking when she heard the rustling sound of clothes being removed from the tub. The water in the tub was the water she had just used.
Then came the sound of running water and a blurry figure. She couldn't help but purse her lips and quickly looked away. She grabbed the blanket and pulled it over her head. "This person is a demon, corrupting men with his beauty!"
She felt uncomfortable in the stuffy bedding, and beads of sweat rolled down her forehead. She quickly wrung out her hair and applied some face cream evenly to her face. In summer, it's easy to sweat, and skin is more prone to dryness.
After she finished everything, she still didn't hear any noise from the other side.
She patiently tidied up all the clothes at the foot of the bed, but there was still no movement. She wondered to herself if they had been left in the bathtub.
They drank quite a bit of alcohol today, and if they took a bath after drinking, they might drown in the tub. The more they thought about it, the more frightened they became. They shouldn't have let him take a bath first.
Thinking of this, she rushed over without even putting on her shoes.
At this moment, Meng Jiuhe's jet-black hair was draped loosely behind the bathtub. He had fallen asleep there. His face and chest skin were so white they seemed to glow, and she couldn't help but feel a little jealous. What did this man eat to grow skin whiter than hers?
After taking a deep breath, he quickly went over and gently shook her, saying, "Meng Jiuhe, wake up, don't sleep here, be careful not to catch a cold." After calling her several times, she slowly opened her eyes. He happily cupped her face and gave her a kiss.
"My lady, what brings you here? Am I dreaming?"
After saying that, he became somewhat saddened and muttered to himself, "Why would my wife come looking for me when I sleep in the study? Or am I overthinking it?"
Seeing that he was talking nonsense due to the alcohol, Xu Chaoyan carefully coaxed him gently.
"Come out quickly, I'll get a cloth to wipe the water off for you. Even though the water is warm, be careful not to catch a cold."
As she turned to get a towel, Meng Jiuxia grabbed her hand, spun around, and pulled her directly into the bathtub. A loud "plop" was heard, followed by gasps of surprise, and water splashed everywhere.
Xu Chaoyan was really at a loss when she was dragged in. The water got all over her face and hands, and her clothes were sticking to her. She reached out and wiped the water off her face, looking displeased.
"Meng Jiu, you're such a grown man, aren't you bored with playing sneak attacks? I should have just let you drown here instead of coming to see you. It's really a case of good intentions being taken for granted."
Meng Jiuhe looked at the incessantly chattering mouth in front of him, reached out and pulled the person close, cupped her face, and kissed her directly.
Xu Chaoyan tried several times but couldn't break free. Meng Jiuhe lit her mouth from her lips all the way down to her earlobe and neck, while his hands were also busy.
When Xu Chaoyan finally caught his breath, he whispered in her ear, "I'm going to get back everything I've lost this past month."
Xu Chaoyan slapped the water with both hands and cursed under her breath: "You're crazy, you're a madman. Get up now. You're not afraid, but I'm afraid of getting sick."
Especially in the summer, the sudden change from cold to hot makes it difficult to recover, and she was planning to go to the prefectural city so that she wouldn't fall seriously ill.
After the two finished, the water in the bucket had cooled down. Xu Chaoyan couldn't help but shiver and bit his shoulder to vent her anger.
Meng Jiuhe simply smiled at her and let her vent her anger, then took a cloth from the side, wrapped her up completely, and gently coaxed her.
"My lady, please don't be angry. But I haven't served you well enough. If you're not satisfied, we can start over."
Xu Chaoyan said irritably, "Haven't you had enough yet? It's almost 3 AM, and I'm sleepy even though you're not."
After saying that, she sneezed several times in a row. Meng Jiuhe looked nervous and quickly went to the wardrobe next to her to find some dry clothes for her, looking guilty.
"My dear wife, please change into these dry clothes first. It's all my fault, I won't do it again next time."
Xu Chaoyan fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow. Meng Jiuhe carefully lay down next to her, looked at her peaceful sleeping face with a satisfied expression, said "Sweet dreams," and then lay down as well.
The next day, Meng Jiuxia prepared hot water and hangover soup and delivered them to them early in the morning.
Xu Chaoyan yawned and rubbed her head. She hadn't slept well at all and felt like she had to get up soon after lying down.
"Hey, sister-in-law, your room is leaking. Is your bathtub broken?"
