The family of four sat neatly on the sofa, but Shen Lu's mind was in a mess, and she had lost the ability to think.

Gu Xiao took the initiative to ask the two children what they wanted to eat, and offered to buy the food himself from the state-run restaurant.

After buying the food, the family ate it all up.

After the meal, Gu Xiao went to the kitchen to wash the pots and pans.

The two children sat in the yard looking at the stars. Gu Xingyu was very talkative, chattering away to his brother about the patterns formed by the various stars in the sky.

A few occasional barks came from outside, accompanied by the rhythm of cicadas chirping. Shen Lu finally accepted the fact that her man was Commander Gu.

Shen Lu has a strong ability to learn.

Gu Xiao was exactly her type in terms of looks, physique, and job. They already had children, and as an old married couple, there was nothing between them.

Yes, that's right.

that's it.

"Little deer".

The man's deep voice startled Shen Lu, and her heart tightened instantly.

"You take a shower first, I'll bathe the two children."

Gu Xiao was boiling water on the stove. Sweat soaked his tank top, so he took it off, revealing his muscular physique.

He said to Shen Lu in a deep voice.

Shen Lu said softly, "Mmm." She rarely looked at a man's body, so she turned her head away shyly and took a towel and a change of clothes to the shower room.

The shower room was inside the bathroom. Gu Xiao had made it himself. An iron bucket was placed on top of the shower room to use the warm water from the daytime sun, and a pipe was connected to the shower room.

Perfect for summer.

After taking a shower, Shen Lu examined her body through the shower mirror.

Her skin was exceptionally fair and delicate, her face was charming yet not seductive, and her features were exquisitely beautiful, like a painting.

With her slender arms and legs, and plump, fleshy parts, this body is made even more delicate by the all-natural foods of this era.

You wouldn't guess she's already a mother of two.

Gu Xiao shouldn't have any reason to refuse her.

Shen Lu affirmed that she was doing this for the happiness of her two children.

She walked out while drying her jet-black hair.

Not far away, Gu Xiao was playing with two children. Although he had a fierce reputation, he genuinely loved the two children.

As Shen Lu stepped out the door, the towel slipped from her hand and fell to the ground. Just as she was about to bend down to pick it up, she accidentally aggravated the wound on her back, and she couldn't help but cry out in pain.

"hiss…".

The three men's eyes immediately shifted to Shen Lu.

Under the moonlight, the woman's skin, which had just taken a bath, was so white it seemed to glow.

Her wet hair clung to her face and slender neck.

She clutched her back, her beautiful almond-shaped eyes were moist, and her lips were bitten until they were bright red.

"What's wrong?" Gu Xiao asked.

"It's nothing, it just aggravated the wound on my back."

Shen Lu waved her hand to Gu Xiao to indicate that she was fine, and hurriedly returned to the study.

Gu Xiao was worried about Shen Lu's health.

He convinced himself that as long as the two were not divorced, he, as the husband, had to fulfill his obligations.

I recalled what I heard at the hospital that afternoon: to massage away the blood stasis.

So Gu Xiao took the medicinal wine from his and his children's room and went to the study next door.

For a moment, I forgot to knock.

"I have medicine here..."

Gu Xiao looked up and saw that Shen Lu had just taken off her clothes with her back to him.

Her snow-white, slender back shone faintly in the darkness, like the finest mutton-fat jade.

Her fair skin resembled a pristine snowfield, but a gruesome wound the size of a fist was a shocking sight, the scab-covered wound surrounded by purplish-blue discoloration.

Hearing the commotion not far behind her, Shen Lu quickly put on the clothes beside her and turned around warily.

At the entrance, an overly tall figure darkened the room, standing there exuding an imposing aura.

"what……"

Before she even knew her own identity, Shen Lu saw the figure of a strange man in the darkness, and her heart jumped into her throat. Her fingers clenched the blankets beneath her.

Seeing Shen Lu's pale face, the man realized that his intrusion had frightened her.

Gu Xiao stepped forward, revealing his entire face, and held the medicine bottle for Shen Lu to see.

"I have medicine here."

Hearing the familiar yet unfamiliar voice, Shen Lu slowly recalled that it was her man, and her heart finally calmed down a little.

The small white porcelain bottle in Gu Xiao's hand glowed under the dim light, and Shen Lu felt a warm glow in her heart.

Surprisingly, he was quite caring.

Even though he had only unintentionally revealed a slight sign, he carefully delivered the medicine.

On the contrary, I overreacted.

Thinking of this, Shen Lu straightened her clothes and said, "Thank you."

Gu Xiao turned around, and the two looked at each other before quickly looking away.

"I left the medicine here."

Worried that going forward would frighten the girl again, Gu Xiao left the medicine on the table beside him and turned to leave.

But Shen Lu called out to him.

"Um..." The girl's soft voice was clearly heard in the darkness.

"I can't reach the injured area, can you help me?"

After saying that, Shen Lu turned around, lifted the back of her clothes, and lay down on the bed.

Hearing the rustling sounds, Gu Xiao's breath suddenly caught in his throat.

After a while, he picked up the medicine bottle he had just put down and sat on the edge of Shen Lu's bed.

Unlike the brief glance he had just taken, this time the woman's slender waist was mostly exposed to his view. Gu Xiao's pupils contracted, and he couldn't help but hold his breath.

How can someone have such a slender waist? It looks like it would break if you pinched it lightly.

Gu Xiao poured the crimson liquid onto the woman's snow-white, delicate back, the stark contrast jarring.

The man's breath hitched, and he quickly looked away, saying in a deep voice.

"I used a bit too much force, so please bear with it. I'll massage away the bruising."

"Okay." Shen Lu readily agreed, but the moment Gu Xiao's hand reached out, she exclaimed in surprise.

"Well……"

The hot palm was incredibly strong, and Shen Lu burst into tears instantly.

Injured skin is very sensitive, and Shen Lu couldn't tell whether her scream was from being burned by Gu Xiao's palm or from the force of his massage.

Her skin nerves are more sensitive than others, and she is most afraid of pain.

"You...you be gentle..."

Her voice, tinged with a sob, sent a shiver down Gu Xiao's spine, but her words came out coldly.

"The pressure is too light; it won't break up the bruises."

"Uh..." Shen Lu could only endure the dull pain coming from her back, her slender fingers tightly gripping the bed sheet.

After an unknown amount of time, the cruel torture finally ended, and Shen Lu was covered in a cold sweat from the pain.

The bath was wasted.

But she was so tired that she didn't even have the strength to lift her fingertips, so she had to give up on taking another shower.

"You should rest well, and you'll be fine after two more massages."

Again?

Shen Lu now deeply regrets her impulsive decision to have the man apply the medicine.

Shen Lu pouted, and the man could see it clearly in the dim light.

Delicate and spoiled.

As Gu Xiao's figure gradually disappeared, Shen Lu remained in a prone position, her consciousness gradually fading.

Now that she's the right size for a folding bed, and since Gu Xiao hasn't been back for a long time, it would be better to let him go and keep Xiao Ze and Xiao Yu company while they sleep.

The quilt she was wearing looked ordinary, but it was lined with the finest silk satin, making it very comfortable to cover her body. Shen Lu quickly fell asleep.

Half-asleep, Shen Lu heard the sound of dripping water and asked in confusion.

Didn't Gu Xiao just take a shower?
