After his blunder in the handsome guy's comment section was exposed.

The palm-sized piece of cloth was soaked and thrown on the ground.

Wet and wrinkled.

The thin straps were crumpled into a ball.

Xi Chenzhou's muscles bulged and his arms were covered in bulging veins that stretched menacingly from his shoulders to his elbows.

Sweat dripped down her face, and the scalding heat pressed against her skin, enveloping her completely.

……

Lin Xuechun was so tired that she didn't even want to lift her fingers.

Xi Chenzhou kissed her flushed cheeks, then stood up and picked her up.

"Honey, let me carry you to take a bath."

Lin Xuechun gave a soft "hmm," wrapped her arms around his neck, buried her face in his shoulder, and let her long, black hair fall smoothly over his shoulders, swaying gently with his steps. The ends of her hair brushed against his arm, causing a slight tickle.

"I can't get my hair wet..." She had washed her hair that night and didn't want to wash it again.

"Okay." Xi Chenzhou carried her into the bathroom, placed her on the sink, and looked down to find a hair tie in a storage drawer.

He gathered her hair with one hand and used the hair tie in the other to tie it up.

Lin Xuechun turned her head to look at his earnest yet clumsy movements in the mirror, and found it inexplicably funny, her lips curving into a smile.

"What's so funny?" Xi Chenzhou looked down at her, his tone casual yet indulgent.

"It's nothing, I just think you're a really nice person." Lin Xuechun's eyes sparkled, and the corners of her eyes curved into a smile.

"Are you giving me a friend card?" Xi Chenzhou loosened her hair, raised his hand and pinched her tender cheeks, which were rosy and bright, so pretty.

As he looked at her, his eyes gradually heated up. "Wife."

Lin Xuechun crossed her arms protectively in front of her: "You bad guy! I want to take a shower and go to sleep..."

Xi Chenzhou chuckled softly, stopped teasing her, and carried her into the shower area.

Hot water gushed down, and steam quickly filled the entire space.

……

As soon as Lin Xuechun touched the bed and sank into the fluffy pillows, she completely lost consciousness.

Breathing is long and even.

I thought I could sleep until dawn.

Unexpectedly, I was awakened in the middle of the night by a burning sensation in my heart.

She clutched her stomach and groggily opened her eyes. The room was pitch black, the curtains were tightly drawn, and she reached for her phone on the bedside table to check. It was only a little past two in the morning.

She rolled over, buried her face in the warm chest of the person next to her, and let out a soft, coquettish moan.

Xi Chenzhou was a light sleeper; he woke up the moment she moved. In the darkness, he lowered his head, nuzzled the top of her head with his chin, and asked in a hoarse voice, "What's wrong, baby?"

"My stomach doesn't feel right." She wasn't sure if it was her stomach or somewhere else.

"Let me rub it." Xi Chenzhou thought it was because she had hurt herself tonight, so he placed his warm palm on her lower abdomen and gently rubbed it.

Lin Xuechun hummed, "Not here. It's here."

She pulled his wrist and moved it. Xi Chenzhou felt around for a moment, then chuckled softly, "Wife, is this your stomach? Does it hurt?"

"It's not pain, it feels a bit like heartburn, I can't really describe it."

Xi Chenzhou seemed to understand: "Are you hungry? Do you want something to eat?"

Lin Xuechun: "A little bit."

That's it.

"Little glutton."

Xi Chenzhou pulled her closer, lowered his head and kissed her forehead twice. "Wait, it'll be ready soon."

He turned on the bedside lamp, got up briskly, and walked into the living room shirtless.

When the lights came on, Lin Xuechun, wrapped in a blanket, squinted for a while to adjust before getting up and slowly shuffling to the kitchen doorway in her slippers.

Xi Chenzhou was facing away from her as she tore open the seasoning packet for instant noodles in front of the counter.

Tall and imposing, the light shone down from above onto his broad, straight back. His pale skin gleamed with a jade-like luster, and the lines of his shoulder blades subtly folded with the movements of his hands.

The water was boiling and bubbling. He walked over, his back to the door, sprinkled in the seasoning packet, and stirred the noodles with chopsticks.

Lin Xuechun saw that there was a shallow dimple on each side of his lower back, his narrow waist was hidden in the low-hanging hem of his trousers, and his two incredibly long legs were straight and slender.

That's a really cool back view.

She looked at him at the door for a few seconds, then couldn't help but tiptoe over and hug him from behind.

"husband."

Her voice was soft and sweet, almost like she was being coquettish.

Her small face pressed against his warm back, her arms wrapped around his waist, and her slender fingertips loosely gripped his abs.

When Xi Chenzhou heard her call him that, his heart melted.

He loved it when she relied on him like that, when she acted coquettishly towards him, calling him "husband, husband."

"Why are you up?" He continued stirring the noodles in the pot with chopsticks in one hand, while covering the back of her hand that was wrapped around his waist with the other, his fingertips brushing against her fingertips.

"I don't want to be alone." Her soft breath brushed against his back, and she curled her cheek against his back.

"I wonder who called me a bad guy before," Xi Chenzhou said with a slight smile, putting down his chopsticks, turning around and pulling her into his arms, his tone casual, "It's dangerous to be with a bad guy."

Lin Xuechun chuckled softly: "It doesn't spoil when cooking noodles, but it spoils at other times..."

That's absolutely awful.
