Chapter 117: Chapter 117: Guilty Conscience
Gu Ya’s voice was hoarse and dark, startling Su Yunjin into tensing up and, in her nervousness, she squeezed again, “Ah? What?” Gu Ya did not speak again but instead let out a heavy groan next to Su Yunjin’s ear, clearly trying to restrain himself from something?
Looking down at his small wife’s hand that was still gripping a certain part of him, Gu Ya squeezed out a sentence through clenched teeth, “Let go!”
Now Su Yunjin realized what was happening, feeling the object in her hand growing larger. Shaken as if electrocuted, she quickly threw her hand aside.
Turning to face Gu Ya, Su Yunjin saw the ointment she wanted in Gu Ya’s left hand, and the place she had just pinched seemed to be—
Swallowing nervously and slowly directing her gaze downward at Gu Ya, Su Yunjin realized where she had just pinched. A wave of guilt set in, and she began to explain, “Husband, that, I just…” She wanted to say she hadn’t done it on purpose, only to see that the spot she had pinched was still bulging, showing no sign of going down.
Her half-finished explanation was cut short when she looked up and met Gu Ya’s burning gaze; Su Yunjin chickened out and, taking the ointment from Gu Ya’s left hand, said, “Husband, I’ll go take the ointment to my second sister and Xiaobao now!”
Leaving those words behind, Su Yunjin didn’t dare to look at Gu Ya again and hurried out of the room. If she had looked back, she surely would have seen Gu Ya with a face as dark as could be.
Running out of the house, Su Yunjin’s face was still feeling hot. She could never have imagined she’d just casually pinch something!
To have pinched that part of Gu Ya!
Coincidence like that was just too much, wasn’t it?
She had just pinched that place on Gu Ya; what would he think of her? Would he think it was intentional? If Gu Ya thought she had done it on purpose.
Su Yunjin cast a glance towards the house she shared with Gu Ya.
She might have escaped for now, but after applying the ointment to her second sister and Xiaobao, she would still have to go back to her room, still have to explain to Gu Ya?
A gust of cold wind blew; Su Yunjin was almost at her brother Xiaobao’s room, afraid that Xiaobao would notice something off.
Not wanting to dwell on what had just happened, Su Yunjin tried hard to appear normal. While she could feign the appearance, her hot face was another issue.
She knew it was very red.
Right now, she couldn’t do anything about her face, so she might as well go in. Holding the ointment, Su Yunjin entered Xiaobao’s room, hoping that since it was dark, Xiaobao wouldn’t notice her unusually red face. However, she hadn’t expected that as soon as she walked into Xiaobao’s room and hadn’t yet spoken, Xiaobao approached her and asked, “Third sister, why is your face so red?”
“Is it? Perhaps it’s a bit hot out!” Su Yunjin said with a nervous chuckle.
It was indeed hot recently during the busy harvest season. With this explanation, Xiaobao wasn’t suspicious and, noticing the ointment in Su Yunjin’s hand, recognized it as the one his sister had previously applied to him.
With a smile, Xiaobao said, “Third sister, are you here to bring me medicine?”
“Yes! Your bruise is quite severe, it’s best to apply it again before bed.” Su Yunjin nodded.
