68: Chapter 69 You Can Be On Top_1 68: Chapter 69 You Can Be On Top_1 It didn’t take long for Tan Zhenghong to finish sewing, and after handing the cloth bundle to Qiao Duo’er, he consciously turned his back.
Qiao Duo’er’s stomach hurt so much that she couldn’t be bothered with the specifics, and she could only change into clean pants on the bed and then pad it with the cloth bundle.
The touch of the cotton felt alright, but the thought that Tan Zhenghong had sewn it made her a little uncomfortable.
After changing her clothes, she lay in bed and curled up a little, which finally brought some relief.
This was a sign of malnutrition.
Her menstruation only came once every two or three months, or even half a year, and each time it came, the pain was just unbearable.
So for her, not having her period was actually a relief.
Sigh, she really needed to take good care of this body.
“How can it not hurt so much?” Tan Zhenghong felt deeply concerned and wished he could bear the pain for her.
But as a man, he had no such ability and couldn’t suffer the pain in place of Qiao Duo’er.
Qiao Duo’er wrapped the sheet around her stomach.
“It’s alright, I’ll just warm it up a bit and that will help.”
Tan Zhenghong gritted his teeth and then placed his hand on Qiao Duo’er’s stomach.
Qiao Duo’er just felt someone press against her back, and then a warm current seeped into her belly.
However, he had placed his hand in the wrong spot.
She was on her period, and it was her lower abdomen that was hurting, not a case of indigestion, yet Tan Zhenghong was warming the area around her belly button.
Qiao Duo’er could only remind him, “Move your hand down a bit.”
At this moment, she wasn’t concerned with propriety between men and women.
All she wanted was for her stomach to stop hurting so much.
Tan Zhenghong responded with a grunt and quickly moved his hand downward, but moving any further down…
cough cough…
he shouldn’t be touching her carelessly.
Qiao Duo’er impatiently pulled his hand to her lower abdomen.
Because of the warmth, the pain finally eased a little.
Hmm…
having a man around was somewhat useful after all.
But Tan Zhenghong wasn’t finding it so easy to bear.
As a normal man, and a newly married one at that, placing his hand in such a sensitive spot inevitably brought some thoughts to mind.
It wasn’t that he was lustful, but rather it was human instinct.
With a hoarse voice, Tan Zhenghong asked, “Is it more comfortable now?”
“Yeah, just keep it there and don’t move, otherwise I’ll kill you!” Qiao Duo’er said through gritted teeth.
Even though she was menstruating, she was not someone to be trifled with; she was pretty sure she could handle him if necessary.
Tan Zhenghong said with a full head of sweat, “I’m not that kind of person, I won’t do anything to you.”
With her period and the unbearable pain, could he even think of touching her?
Even if he was dying of frustration, he couldn’t just do whatever he wanted!
Qiao Duo’er rolled her eyes and said incredulously, “Even if you were that kind of person, do you think you could succeed?
Your leg is still broken, and all you do is have all these thoughts.”
“You could be on top,” Tan Zhenghong said weakly.
Qiao Duo’er elbowed him back, and only after hearing Tan Zhenghong’s muffled groan did she feel satisfied.
Cough cough, she guessed that guy must have been holding back for too long.
His wife was right beside him, yet he couldn’t do anything and also couldn’t resort to Lady Five to take care of his needs, leading to a mind full of unhealthy thoughts.
Tan Zhenghong said earnestly, “Duo’er, please stay with me, okay?
I will make sure you have a good life.”
He would work hard, trying his best to hunt and weave baskets to make his wife the happiest woman in the world.
“We’ll see,” Qiao Duo’er said irritably.
She was still dwelling on the fact that Tan Zhenghong had teased her; if it happened once and twice, wouldn’t a third time be close by?
Tan Zhenghong pursed his lips, “I feel like I can’t even live without you.”
He was a rough man, and this was the first time he had ever said something so…
tender…
mushy.
