Chapter 237: Chapter 236 Fear of Heat Chapter 237: Chapter 236 Fear of Heat The fish soup was freshly cooked and still scalding hot.
Gu Ya had just burned his mouth while eating the fish.
This time, Gu Ya learned his lesson.
He no longer gulped down the fish soup as before.
Instead, he sipped it slowly, little by little.
It was only now that he truly appreciated the deliciousness of the fish soup, “Yunjin, this fish soup is really fragrant.”
“Of course it’s fragrant! The fish soup was simmered over a low flame.”
Su Yunjin had just served fish soup to Gu Ya; she hadn’t had any herself yet!
Now, Su Yunjin was also planning to go to the kitchen to get herself a bowl of fish soup to eat.
“Husband, you eat slowly, I’m going to the kitchen.”
Leaving this message behind,
Su Yunjin went to the kitchen.
There was still quite a bit of fish soup left in the pot, so Su Yunjin ate a bowl for herself.
After some thought, she scooped two more bowls for Mrs. An and Lord Gu Chengxiang to send over.
This evening, Mrs. An and the others hadn’t tried the fish soup yet.
Although Mrs. An and the others said to leave the fish soup for Gu Ya to nourish his body,
with so much fish soup in the pot, she and her husband Gu Ya wouldn’t be able to finish it all.
Better to send a bowl to Mrs. An and Lord Gu one each.
“Mom, Dad, have you gone to bed yet? I’ve brought you fish soup,”
Su Yunjin asked outside the door of Mrs. An.
Mrs. An opened the door and saw Su Yunjin holding two bowls of fish soup, she hurriedly said, “Oh, third son’s wife, why did you bring so much fish soup for me and your father? Third son’s leg is broken, he needs to eat well to recover quickly, you should keep the fish soup for third son to eat!”
“Mom, there’s still some in the pot! Half a pot of fish soup, how could my husband and I finish it all?”
She thrust the two bowls of fish soup into Mrs. An’s hands.
Su Yunjin said, “Mom, rest assured! I’ve reserved enough fish soup for nourishing my husband’s body. These two bowls are for you and Dad to eat, especially Dad, his health isn’t good and he needs to nourish his body well.”
Mrs. An looked at the two bowls of fish soup that Su Yunjin had thrust into her hands.
This time she did not continue to refuse.
“Third son’s wife, since that’s the case, then I’ll accept these two bowls of fish soup,”
Mrs. An accepted the fish soup and Su Yunjin returned to the kitchen once again.
After a day of hustle,
she tidied up the kitchen a bit.
Su Yunjin returned to the room and, just like the day before, continued to apply medicine on Gu Ya.
Adeptly, Su Yunjin finished applying the medicine on Gu Ya.
Just as Su Yunjin got up intending to wash her hands and go to sleep, Gu Ya suddenly said to her, “Yunjin, I would like to take a bath.”
Gu Ya wants to take a bath?
Su Yunjin was dumbstruck as though struck by lightning!
Gu Ya added, “Yunjin, ever since I fell from the mountain, I haven’t taken a bath up to now.”
So Gu Ya, this man, wouldn’t be expecting her to help him bathe, would he?
Su Yunjin was silent!
How could she, as a woman, help Gu Ya, a grown man, take a bath?
Unconsciously, Su Yunjin’s gaze shifted to Gu Ya’s body.
“Yunjin, could you please bring me some water?”
Su Yunjin did not respond.
Fetching water for Gu Ya was certainly no problem!
But helping Gu Ya take a bath was a bit troublesome.
She didn’t want to help Gu Ya bathe!
“Uh, could you maybe not bathe for now?” Su Yunjin spoke to Gu Ya in a negotiating tone,
attempting to persuade Gu Ya to give up the idea of taking a bath!
“No, I must bathe.” Even if his little wife didn’t mind his smell, not having bathed for several days, Gu Ya himself felt uncomfortable.
Moreover, since Gu Ya shared a bed with his little wife every night, he preferred to be clean; otherwise, what if his little wife found him repulsive?
