She avoided his unabashed gaze and muttered under her breath, "It’s all because you keep saying that our marriage certificate is real."
A light chuckle sounded, Zhuang Shuqing became annoyed and embarrassed, "Lu Jinyang, what are you trying to do by showing up here in the middle of the night?"
"I initially just wanted to check if you made it home, but..." His gaze shifted to her hand, "What did you have for dinner tonight?"
Zhuang Shuqing pouted towards an instant noodle box on the table that hadn’t been thrown away, "Just that, I can’t cook with one hand."
Lu Jinyang suddenly frowned, "I hear water running."
She got up and ran to the bathroom only to find that she had indeed forgotten to turn off the tap.
Since she couldn’t bathe properly just now, it was even more impossible with the deity Lu Jinyang sitting outside.
Zhuang Shuqing sighed silently and turned around, bumping into a wall of muscle. She looked up in surprise to find him looking at the bathroom.
"Haven’t bathed yet?" he asked.
"Yeah, with my hand , even taking a bath is difficult."
She tried to walk past him but realized the man was blocking the door and hadn’t moved, "Why aren’t you moving?"
"Eh?" Zhuang Shuqing thought she must be hallucinating, otherwise how could she have heard such a thing?
"It’s inconvenient with one hand."
"...So?" She blinked, not quite understanding his intention. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ ɴovelfire.net
Lu Jinyang’s expression darkened, and he stepped forward, his hand reaching out towards her~
"Wait, wait~ Ah... my hand..."
Zhuang Shuqing felt truly awkward; on one hand, she was trying to stop Lu Jinyang, and on the other, she was trying to protect her own hand.
She crouched on the floor clutching her left wrist with a pained expression on her face, "Ouch, my hand, it hurts so much~"
Lu Jinyang’s hand froze mid-air, seeing her eyelids flicker occasionally, a trace of mischief flashed quickly through his dark eyes.
"Get up, let me take a look."
"No, no need, I’ll just reapply the medicine myself."
After saying that, she got up and went to the room to bring out the medicine box, yet made no further move.
Lu Jinyang leaned against the wall leisurely watching her, "Why aren’t you moving?"
"Well... Mister Lu, it’s already so late, you should go back first."
Hearing her words, he suddenly curled up the corner of his mouth, "Zhuang Shuqing, is there a part of your body that I haven’t seen? If you don’t want me to see, just blindfold me then."
Zhuang Shuqing: "..." Although he had seen her, and she had seen him, was it really okay for him to say it so candidly?
Seeing her flush little face, Lu Jinyang was suddenly tempted to tease her. He quickly closed in on her, scaring her into retreating until she was backed up against the couch with nowhere else to go.
But he kept getting closer...
"Can you not stand so close?" Zhuang Shuqing held out her hand to him, trying to keep him at bay.
He smirked mischievously and took a step back as she requested, "Take a bath and then reapply the medicine. Go ahead, find something to cover my eyes, and I’ll help you."
After some consideration, Zhuang Shuqing obediently fetched a waistband for him, "Make sure you tie it tight enough, so it doesn’t fall off."
"If you’re not confident, why don’t you tie it yourself?"
Zhuang Shuqing: "..." She rolled her eyes at him, thinking if she could tie it herself, she wouldn’t need him to be blindfolded to help her get undressed.
She put her thoughts aside and led him into the bathroom, and after his repeated assurances, she placed his hand on her clothes, "The clothes are here; just help me pull both arms out."
