Shi Qingluo did not find any wounds on Xiao Hanzhengâs body.
She placed her hand on Xiao Hanzhengâs chest and fell into deep thought for a moment.
Logically speaking, the fever should have subsided after taking the fever medicine yesterday. He had taken the anti-inflammatory medicine too.
There were no other wounds on his body, so why was he still unconscious?
As she was thinking through, her fingers unconsciously tapped lightly, and she did not notice that this was not a table, but someoneâs naked body.
âIs it nice to touch?â
Suddenly, a hoarse and weak voice sounded, bringing Shi Qingluo back to her senses.
She replied instinctively, âIt feels okay, just a little too skinny.â
After saying that, she touched it again.
His skin was quite smooth, but it was a pity that he was a little skinny.
It would be better if he had some muscles in his abdomen..
Xiao Hanzheng, who had just broken free from that nightmarish bondage, struggled to open his eyes.
Shi Qingluo lowered her head and met his eyes that were filled with hostility, as if they were about to destroy the world.
However, he restrained himself very quickly and replaced it with a cold and calm expression.
If Shi Qingluo was not certain that she had sensed it, she might have thought that her eyes were playing tricks on her.
Why was this person so hostile when he woke up?
âYouâre awake!â Shi Qingluo smiled at Xiao Hanzheng.
Xiao Hanzheng looked at the unfamiliar young woman and frowned.
When he felt her hand still on his chest, his body stiffened. âCan you move your hand away?â
Only then did Shi Qingluo realise that her hand was still touching his chest.
Ah, this was a little awkward!
âItâs off!â She blinked and quickly removed her hand from his chest.
Xiao Hanzheng thought to himself, where did this woman come from? She was so bold and shameless.
He turned his head to look around, and his pupils could not help but shrink.
This place was too familiar. This was the place he stayed when he was younger, but it was also the place he did not wish to recall the most.
He calmed down very quickly, looked at the girl who touched him and asked, âWho are you?â
His drowsy consciousness gradually returned.
Just now, he did feel that someone was touching him non-stop.
He finally managed to wake up after some attempts when someone touched him from his thigh to his abdomen.
Shi Qingluo smiled and gracefully raised her hand to greet him. âIâm your new wife, Shi Qingluo. Hello, husband!â
Xiao Hanzheng was puzzled. When did he have a new wife? Why didnât he know?
Could he still be dreaming?
Closing his eyes for a moment, he opened them again. The little girl was still looking at him with a smile.
Then, he felt the pain of being pinched hard on his arm.
He looked at Shi Qingluo. âWhat are you doing?â
Shi Qingluo said righteously, âYou look like youâre suspecting that youâre dreaming, so I pinched you to help you recognise that this is reality.â
His absent-minded look meant that he thought he was still dreaming.
âYou donât need to thank me!â She added.
Xiao Hanzheng wondered, well I have to thank you for making my health from bad to worse then.
However, this pain did make him feel a lot more real. This wasnât a dream.
Shi Qingluo thought for a moment and said, âWait a moment, Iâll go and call your mother and others over.â
If Mother Xiao and others knew that Xiao Hanzheng had woken up, they would be relieved.
Xiao Hanzhengâs pupils constricted slightly again. âYouâre going to call my mother?â
Shi Qingluo nodded. âYes, your mother, your younger brother and sister.â
âAt this moment, the chief and others are still having a banquet outside. I will inform them that youâve woken up.â
Xiao Hanzheng raised his hand with great effort. Looking at his smooth, fair and young hand, he could roughly guess what was going on with him.
âThen Iâll have to trouble you to call her in.â He really wanted to meet her in person and confirm it.
Shi Qingluo stood up. âAlright, wait here.â
Seeing that she was about to leave, Xiao Hanzheng suddenly came to senses about his bodyâs condition.
He could not help but take a deep breath and said with a hint of gnashing of his teeth, âCan you put on my pants and clothes first?â
This was the first time he had been molested and touched like this by a woman, who wasnât even aware of it at all.
It was probably difficult for her to understand his discomfort.
He had used almost all his strength to raise his hand, but he really could not wear his clothes himself.
It would be too outrageous for his mother and the chief to see him in such an unglam appearance when they come in later.
Only then did Shi Qingluo remember that she had just taken off his clothes.
She silently thought, Iâm not awkward, but Xiao Hanzheng is. Cough cough!
âNo Problem!â
She quickly put on Xiao Hanzhengâs clothes, and pants, and covered him with the blanket.
âWell, I didnât want to take advantage of you just now, I just wanted to check if there were any injuries on your body.â
âAlthough it felt alright, cough cough... Iâm leaving!â She accidentally told the truth.
After explaining, Shi Qingluo ran away.
Xiao Hanzheng didnât know whether to laugh or cry. This woman was reallyâ¦
Then, he turned his head and looked at this familiar room in his memory.
His eyes were once again filled with a thick layer of hostility as he fell into deep thought.
On the other hand, Shi Qingluo had just walked out of the room when she met Xiao Baili walking over with some food.
Xiao Baili also saw Shi Qingluo. âSister-in-law, why did you come out?â
She smiled. âI brought you some food to fill your stomach first.â
When the banquet just started, her mother filled a bowl of food and asked her to bring it to her sister-in-law.
Shi Qingluo knew that Mother Xiao was considerate and asked Xiao Baili to get her some food first.
Her judgement was right.
She smiled and said, âYour brother is awake. I came out to report the news.â
Xiao Baili was stunned for a moment before her eyes widened. âSister-in-law, did you say that my brother is awake?â
âThatâs right, heâs awake!â
Shi Qingluo smiled and pinched her face. âHeâs back to his senses. Go and call mother and the chief over.â
Xiao Baili cried tears of joy. âThatâs great! Brother is awake!â
Then, she stuffed the food into Shi Qingluoâs hands. âIâll go and call them over now.â
Meanwhile, Shi Qingluo pushed the door open and returned to his room with the food.
At this moment, Xiao Hanzheng had already returned to normal.
He looked at Shi Qingluo, who had returned, with a somewhat inquisitive gaze.
He overheard her and his sister talking just now.
That was really the voice of his sister in his memories.
And his sister calling this woman sister-in-law meant that she was really his so-called wife.
Then what time was it?
How did he get a new wife?
Shi Qingluo carried the food and sat at a table not far away.
She was really hungry as she hadnât eaten since morning.
Hence, she picked up her chopsticks and ate openly in front of Xiao Hanzheng.
Xiao Hanzheng watched Shi Qingluo eat without a blink.
He found that this womanâs eating speed wasnât slow, but she was very refined and elegant.
In one glance, he could tell that she was very cultured.
The key point was that she was also picky.
She picked out the fat meat that she did not like to eat.
She didnât seem like a village girl.
However, she was sallow and thin. It was somewhat contradictory that the clothes she was wearing were full of patches, like a girl from a poor family.
As Xiao Hanzheng continued to stare at her, she was a little hesitant to continue eating even if she was hungry.
She raised her head and looked at him. âAre you hungry?
âItâs a pity that youâve been in a coma for more than ten days. You canât eat this.â
So donât even think about my food.
Xiao Hanzheng knew what she was trying to say. Yet, he really didnât want to eat her food.
