Chu Molin kept massaging Qin Xue until she asked him to stop.
“Chu Molin, that’s enough, stop massaging, I need to heat up some water for a shower.” Qin Xue had completely forgotten to do so when she sat down.
She didn’t really care, in the worst-case scenario, she could simply disappear into empty space.
But Chu Molin had been taking sponge baths for days now, and he would surely have to do so again tonight at home. She couldn’t possibly let him, with his injuries, take a cold sponge bath.
“Just sit, I’ll do it.” Chu Molin stopped her from standing up, and got up himself to heat the water.
“But don’t fill the container all the way and strain yourself, you might burst your wound.” Qin Xue didn’t argue, despite being uncomfortable herself.
“Alright.” Chu Molin lit the fire beneath the stove, and then filled a pan with water to heat.
Seeing she wasn’t needed, Qin Xue returned to her room to read a medicine book.
After several days of contemplation, she was close to mastering the second medicine book, much thanks to her excellent memory.
Once she had thoroughly studied all the medicine books, she could practice using her scalpel slowly.
In Qin Xue’s heart, she wouldn’t do anything medical unless she knew it like the back of her hand.
That was because she wouldn’t dare to gamble with people’s lives, it was her way of respecting life.
Seeing the fire was kindled, and noticing his wife reading, Chu Molin also picked a book and sat next to her to read together.
Both husband and wife were bookworms, they could easily get engrossed in a book once they had it in their hands.
A book is an ocean of knowledge. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be an old saying “In books, you can find the most beautiful faces, and in books, you can find houses of gold.”
After nearly half an hour, Qin Xue put down her medical book and got up to get her nightgown for her shower.
When Qin Xue came out with her gown, she found the hot water had been moved into the bathroom by Chu Molin. Qin Xue smiled and said thanks to him.
“Chu Molin, thank you.” Qin Xue thought she was at her happiest in these moments.
“Go, be careful with your swollen feet, don’t trip.” Chu Molin warned her about her swollen feet.
“Alright, I got it.” Even if Chu Molin hadn’t mentioned it, Qin Xue would have been careful.
Only when Qin Xue had entered the shower did Chu Molin sit back down to continue reading. He was close to mastering this “art of war.”
Once he’d mastered it, a warm current would flow through him, making his body and mind feel comfortable.
In the future, he could use the array and warfare strategies from the book according to the situation.
After undressing, Qin Xue looked at her legs and touched her swollen belly, smiling to herself: “Little ones, you must behave well.
Mommy will find a way to earn money to provide a good environment for you.
So, you must behave and not make Mommy worry, okay?”
After talking to her little ones, Qin Xue finally began to shower.
By the time Qin Xue had finished showering, Chu Molin had already changed into fresh clothes.
Qin Xue looked at Chu Molin in surprise – how come he had changed?
Perhaps it was because Qin Xue’s gaze was too intense, Chu Molin understood her unspoken thoughts at a glance.
“I just changed after a sponge bath in our room.” Chu Molin knew his wife liked cleanliness, and he’d wanted to shower.
Yet for a week, he’d only been able to take sponge baths, which didn’t feel right. But he didn’t think he could persuade Qin Xue to let him take a proper shower.
He remembered when he first mentioned wanting to take a shower, Qin Xue had said to him, “Sure, as long as you’re not hurt, you can shower however you want.”
With that sentence, Qin Xue left Chu Molin speechless.
Well, he would have to wait until his injuries healed before he could take a proper shower.
Otherwise, Qin Xue would scold him again. He was a researcher and a human being, it wasn’t possible to avoid injuries entirely..
