Quick Wear: The Heirless Boss Wants to Get Close to Her Every Day

Chapter 55: A rough man with a fierce mouth but a soft heart vs. a beautiful young intellectual (13)

Just as Shen Shuyi quickly wiped off the medicinal oil that was sliding down, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became subtle.

She seemed to hear Lu Huai gasping for air, his whole body tense as if he was going to the battlefield.

Shen Shuyi coughed lightly, "Were you hit by a wild boar in the mountains?"

"Yeah." Lu Huai clenched his fist quietly.

He didn't know what to say at this moment. The part of his chest that had been unresponsive suddenly became erect because she touched his chest. If he could, he would have fainted.
Shen Shuyi's movements were gentle and her expression was focused as she helped him heal his wounds.

She pretended not to notice the man's gaze and ignored the little Lu Huai under the quilt.

It seems to still be usable.

Shen Shuyi's ears were burning with shame. She put away the medicated oil, washed her hands, lowered her head, whispered something, and left.

"I'll go get you some clean clothes."

Lu Huai was lying on his back, with one arm draped over his face to cover his eyes, and his ears were red.

When he heard Shen Shuyi put clothes on his pillow, he still closed his eyes, "Shen Zhiqing, go and have a rest. Thank you for today."

Shen Shuyi saw that he couldn't move, "How about I help you get dressed? You still have to eat."

Lu Huai's heart was shocked, and he quickly stood up, "No, no, I can do it myself."

Shen Shuyi paused while holding the clothes and looked at him, "Do you mind if I take off your clothes?"

"No." Seeing her eyes redden again, Lu Huai blurted out his words of defense uncontrollably, "No, I should be grateful to you because you helped me heal my wounds."

Shen Shuyi was unsure, but still handed him the clothes, "You really don't think I'm being a hooligan?"

Lu Huai's face turned red, he was the one who was behaving like a hooligan.

But he didn't dare to look at Shen Shuyi again. He turned his eyes away, said "hmm", and then endured the severe pain and put on his shirt quickly.

Not hearing her leave, Lu Huai coughed lightly and said, "Please help me get the food."

Shen Shuyi turned around to get it, not wanting to push him too hard.

The moment she turned and left, Lu Huai couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and his tense body also relaxed.

When he lifted the quilt and saw the spiritual part, he grabbed it fiercely with embarrassment on his face. The pain made him become dazed and then he put on his pants.

Shen Shuyi brought the warm food to the room, "Lu Huai, can you eat it by yourself?"

"Okay." Lu Huai said weakly, lowered his head and picked up the chopsticks, still not daring to look at Shen Shuyi, "You should go back to sleep."

Shen Shuyi looked at a man who was trying hard to eat to divert attention. A cunning look flashed in her eyes and she spoke in a shy tone.

"Lu Huai, your clothes are stained with blood, and your hands and legs are injured. I will help you wash your clothes so that Yingzi and grandma won't see and worry."

"Cough cough!!!" Lu Huai almost choked to death.

"No, no need!" He wanted to throw the clothes away, but throwing away one piece would mean one less piece. If it got torn, he could mend it and still wear it.
"I'll wash it myself tomorrow."

Shen Shuyi snickered, with a bit of grievance in her tone, "You and I live under the same roof, we should support each other, but you still have to be so polite to me. If this is the case, then I won't dare to ask you for help in the future."

Lu Huai couldn't convince her, and he really didn't have the strength left, so he had to let her go.

……

Shen Shuyi bandaged the injured wild boar and locked it in the backyard, waiting for Lu Huai to wake up before dealing with it. Fortunately, this place is far away from other houses, otherwise if someone heard the pig's squeaking, a bunch of people would definitely come over to watch the fun.

In the next few days, Lu Huai was injured and unable to go to work, so he stayed at home to recuperate.

He was idle at home and couldn't chop wood or fetch water, so he had to do all the miscellaneous housework at home. He also cooked the meals. When he saw Shen Shuyi happily eating the meals he cooked, Lu Huai's face flashed with complicated emotions.

After that night, he deliberately avoided thinking about what happened between him and Shen Zhiqing, avoided thinking about the fact that Shen Zhiqing had seen his body, and avoided thinking about why Shen Zhiqing was so nice to him yet felt so tormented.

When Shen Shuyi came back from working in the fields, she saw Lu Huai sitting in the yard hammering away at a large bathtub. The bathtub was already formed and only needed to be polished and dried before it could be used. Crystal beads of sweat slid down the man's cheeks, and Shen Shuyi's heart couldn't help but heat up.

Even if he is not the target of her pursuit, she will still be moved by such a handsome man who works silently for her.

Lu Huai wiped the sweat off his face with a towel, followed the figure for a while, and then continued to take a bath in the tub.

His arms are strong and powerful, and he has indeed gained a lot of weight during this period of time.

Shen Shuyi put down the farm tools and walked towards him, "Lu Huai, why don't you take a rest? Be careful not to hurt your wound."

Thinking of the blood clots in Lu Huai's abdomen, her heart felt heavy.

Lu Huai looked up at her and then lowered his head to work, "It's okay, it doesn't hurt anymore."

His voice was very soft, and because he lowered his head I couldn't see his deep eyes. I could only see his handsome and deep profile and his high nose bone.

"After you wipe your body at night, let me apply the medicine for you again." Shen Shuyi washed his hands by the well.

There was a flash of panic in Lu Huai's eyes, "No, I can apply the medicine myself."

Shen Shuyi wiped her hands, walked to the small wooden stool in front of him and sat down, looked up at his eyes, and asked seriously, "Lu Huai, are you afraid that if I see your body, I will force you to take responsibility?"

She remembered that in that era, if a woman fell into the water and was rescued by a man, the man would be responsible regardless of whether he saw her body or not.

If it were her gender, would she also be responsible for Lu Huai after seeing his body?
Lu Huai was shocked when he heard this. "I didn't think so. You just helped me in a hurry. I will only be grateful to you."

Precisely because I am grateful to her, I will never drag her into this.

She was an educated young person with a bright future. She would move towards a broader world in the future. She should not be trapped in this small village, and should not marry into a family with a bad background like theirs.

Asking her to take responsibility would be harming her!
Shen Shuyi didn't say much. He just waited until night time, lit a kerosene lamp, and went to Lu Huai's door and knocked.

"Lu Huai, it's me."

Lu Huai endured the pain and stayed awake. He couldn't even take a shower, so he could only fetch some water and sit by the bed to wipe his body.

When he heard Shen Shuyi's voice, he was like a frightened bird and almost knocked over the washbasin.

He steadied his voice and said, "I'm going to sleep. We'll talk tomorrow if you have anything."

Shen Shuyi continued to knock on the door, "I'll apply the medicine for you, don't disturb grandma and Yingzi."

Lu Huai pinched his brows, stood up silently and opened the door.

The light in the room was dim. Shen Shuyi took the kerosene lamp and went in to put it away. Seeing Lu Huai sitting upright, she couldn't help but chuckle.

"I've already applied medicine to you. What difference will it make if I apply it again? Just lie down."

Lu Huai said calmly, "Just change the medicine for the legs and hands, I will apply the medicated oil myself."

Shen Shuyi quickly changed the bandage and bandaged it. "Why do you do it yourself? Isn't it expensive to waste the medicine oil?"

She added nonchalantly, "Just lie down and lift up your shirt. You don't have to take off your clothes, so what are you afraid of?"

Lu Huai lay down and put one hand over his eyes to block his vision, "Sorry for the trouble."

Shen Shuyi lifted up his shirt and looked up and down at the bruises on his abdomen. The moment he poured the medicated oil, the whole room was filled with a strong smell of medicated oil.

Thinking of Lu Huai's constant avoidance and rejection of her, Shen Shuyi unconsciously massaged her a little harder this time.

The man couldn't help but hissed a few times.

Seeing him frowning and gasping in pain, Shen Shuyi's smile deepened.

"Don't move."
