After a long time, Li Xia's dry throat moved.
"Honey!"
It had been a long time since he had called out this word.
In his memory, he had only called her a few times when he and Chu Mengxi had just gotten married.
After that, he started to mingle around with those scoundrels and friends. After going down the wrong path, he completely ignored Chu Mengxi.
Now that he thought about it, Li Xia felt that he had been an incomprehensible fool in the past.
Hearing the word " wife ", Chu Mengxi's delicate body trembled slightly.
"You…"
Chu Mengxi was about to say something when she realized that Li Xia's arm was covered in red scars.
Shocked, she hurriedly put down the net in her hand, walked forward, and grabbed Li Xia's arm.
Upon closer inspection, Chu Mengxi discovered that there were long and short bloodstains on Li Xia's arms and legs.
Some of the wounds were deep, with bright red blood on the surface.
Some of the wounds were shallow and had already scabbed over.
Li Xia smiled and said," It's fine. Don't worry. It's just a superficial wound."”
Chu Mengxi felt her heart ache.”
"It's normal for a man to bleed like he's sweating," Li Xia consoled.”
Chu Mengxi raised her head and glared at him.""What nonsense are you talking about? If there are thorns in the wound, it will become inflamed.”
"Go into the house. I'll get you some disinfectant.”
In the past, when Li Xia came back from fooling around outside, he would sometimes suffer some minor injuries and pain. However, Chu Mengxi did not care about his life or death at all.
Now, Li Xia went to the forest to pick wild herbs for this family.
Chu Mengxi had already started to care about him.
Li Xia's lips curled up. He was in a good mood. Everything he had done was worth it.
He entered the house.
Duoduo and Nuannuan were playing in the room.
Chu Mengxi saw that there were two more toys in the hands of the two little ones. They were a bamboo dragonfly and a bamboo bird.
Needless to say, Li Xia must have made it for them.
Chu Mengxi was touched again.
Li Xia really doted on the two little ones now.
Hopefully, the man's change was not temporary.
She hoped that he could always treat the two children this well.
"Daddy! Mommy! You guys are back!"
"Papa! Mama! Nuannuan misses you!"
Although the two little fellows called each other 'Daddy' and 'Mummy', they first ran to Li Xia's side, hugged his thigh, and rubbed it for a while.
Then, he threw himself into Chu Mengxi's embrace.
Towards this, Chu Mengxi was no longer 'jealous.'
Li Xia pampered them with delicacies and toys, so the two little ones naturally clung to him.
Chu Mengxi let the two little fellows play in the courtyard before closing the door and checking Li Xia's wounds.
He couldn't let the two little fellows see Li Xia's injury. Otherwise, they would cry and cry. When the time came, he would have to apply medicine for Li Xia and coax the child. He would be in a mess.
Chu Mengxi asked Li Xia to sit on the bed before she went to get the alcohol.
"Don't move."
Chu Mengxi took a cotton ball and dipped it in the disinfectant. She approached Li Xia and carefully applied it on his wound.
Although some wounds did not look deep, if they were not disinfected, they could become infected and inflamed.
Li Xia could smell a faint fragrance when the woman approached him.
It was the smell of soap. It was faint and especially pleasant.
Her silky black hair fell on Li Xia's shoulders and neck, making her feel itchy.
Li Xia's heart throbbed.
"Mengxi!" Li Xia couldn't help but call out softly.
She tilted her head and applied medicine on Li Xia's arm. Her fair face was right in front of Li Xia's eyes.
Li Xia's throat rolled, and his eyes gradually became fiery.
Chu Mengxi's body stiffened for a moment, but she did not dare to move and continued to apply the medicine.
She seemed to be able to feel the man's gaze on her because his breath was getting heavier and heavier, and it was already on her face.
As a hot-blooded man and his wife was so gentle and pleasant, how could he hold it in?
The man reached out and gently grabbed the woman's arm. Then, his face slowly moved closer.
However…
Suddenly.
There was a sharp pain.
Chu Mengxi pulled out a thorn from the wound on Li Xia's calf.
The force was a little too strong, catching Li Xia off guard.
"Hiss ~!"
Li Xia gasped when he was interrupted.
She definitely did it on purpose.
Li Xia looked at Chu Mengxi.
Chu Mengxi also looked at him with a smile in her eyes.
"Does it hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt." Li Xia shook his head. It didn't hurt.
"If it doesn't hurt, then endure it." Chu Mengxi rolled her eyes at him.
"Which one?"
"Endure it."
Chu Mengxi blushed.
Li Xia smiled. He knew that some things couldn't be rushed.
However, it was already a very good sign.
A few minutes later.
Chu Mengxi disinfected all the wounds on Li Xia's arms and legs.
As she tidied up, she said,"Don't get those medicinal herbs in the future. It's too torturous."”
Li Xia was in a very good mood. He placed his hands on the bed and looked at Chu Mengxi. He smiled and said,"
"It's fine. I'll wear long pants and a long robe tomorrow.”
"Can't you be obedient?”
"Okay, I'll listen to it next time."
Chu Mengxi's eyes widened. There was still a next time she would hear such a thing?
Suddenly.
Chu Mengxi's vision was shrouded by a black shadow, and then the man's aura approached her.
Bam ~!
The crisp sound of contact rang out in the quiet room.
Li Xia sneaked a bite at Chu Mengxi. Her fair and tender cheeks, smooth and delicate skin, were really bouncy!
He was satisfied.
Chu Mengxi's face turned red as she spat.
"Hooligan!"
"What hooligan? It's legal. I'll sue you for slander!”
"Indecent!"
"I'm hungry. Time to cook."
Li Xia leisurely hummed a tune as he walked towards the kitchen.
……
As usual, whenever Li Xia entered the kitchen, there would be two little tails behind him.
"Daddy! Are you going to cook?"
"Papa! Are you still going to cook prawns? Nuannuan loves prawns!"
The two children blinked their big eyes and followed Li Xia from the left and right.
"Of course Daddy has to cook. I can't let my two little cuties starve.”
Li Xia said with a smile, patting her two little heads.
"Oh! Alright, alright!"
" Papa is awesome!"
The two little fellows dug into the stove again and looked curiously at what Li Xia was preparing for dinner.
Li Xia looked at the plastic bucket. There were about 500 grams of river prawns in it. They were all big prawns, no small prawns.
Li Xia had specially left it for his family to eat. After catching so many good goods, he couldn't sell them all and leave himself with nothing to eat.
Since the two little ones loved prawns, he would continue to make a plate of prawns at night.
The villagers did not need to buy vegetables at all. Most of the vegetables were available in their own fields.
Li Xia gave the two little fellows a mission.
"Duoduo, go and pick two eggplants for Daddy.”
"Nuannuan, go and help Daddy pick some green onions.”
The two little fellows had always wanted to help Li Xia. Now that they heard Li Xia's order, they immediately responded in unison.
"Okay, Daddy, I promise to complete the mission!”
"Papa! Nuan Nuan will go now!"
The two little ones ran out with their short legs.
At this moment, Chu Mengxi walked in.
"You two, slow down. Don't fall.”
With that, she walked to the back of the stove and added firewood.
Ever since she witnessed Li Xia's culinary skills, she had given Li Xia full responsibility for cooking.
Although Chu Mengxi's culinary skills were not bad, compared to Li Xia, she felt that there was still a huge gap.
