Chapter 223: Chapter 223 Beaten

However, he always had the knack of calming her restless mind with just a few words, dispelling her irritability.

She listened to his words, falling silent...

Suddenly feeling very sad, she leaned into his arms, behaving exceptionally docile.

He guessed that she must have had some strange thoughts in her head again, and he couldn’t rest easy letting her brood by herself. He painstakingly persuaded her to share what was on her mind.

In fact, she didn’t really have anything troubling her; it’s just that women in love can become inexplicably emotional, sometimes melancholic, sometimes joyful, sighing deeply at a cloud or a lamp.

After thinking for a while, she came up with a sentimental question. Her fingers kept picking at his sweater, a coarse knit from which a small hole could easily be dug out, "Xiao Xu, if... if today I really... got bullied... what would you do?"

"What if? What are you thinking?" He poked her forehead forcefully.

"Why can’t there be an if? I was just a step away! What if? If it happened?" She asked stubbornly with a serious face.

He gazed into her determined eyes and surrendered reluctantly, "Silly girl, you must remember, no matter when, your safety is the most important! As long as you are fine and your life isn’t threatened, nothing else matters that much!"

"..." She didn’t speak, threading her fingers through the hole in his sweater.

She knew her hypothetical scenario was trivial; she wasn’t the type to belittle herself over something like that. But some men have such outdated views and do care, don’t they?

He answered so straightforwardly...

"Xiao Xu, I will protect myself well." This was her promise and her responsibility.

He captured her fingers that had been digging at his sweater, "What kind of hobby is this? Is it fun?"

"Yes." She nodded earnestly, "It’s fun."

He was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, releasing her fingers and hugging her, "Then play! Play while you sleep!"

She had already slept once and was now wide awake. How could she sleep? She just sat on him, playing—playing with the sweater, his Adam’s apple, his ears, even stretching her body to rub his beard.

He was disturbed by her so much that he couldn’t rest, smiling helplessly, "Can’t you behave? If you don’t sleep, I’m leaving."

"Don’t leave!" She threw her arms around his head.

And so, the blanket was shaken off by her once more.

"Silly girl! If you keep this up, I might not be able to hold myself to the test anymore!" The vibrant, youthful scene before him was enough to make his nose bleed, yet the source of the beauty seemed oblivious.

"Pull it up for me..." She clung to his neck, pressing against his furry clothes—warm and soft, her back was cool; her heart was pounding, and her cheeks burned like fire, as if she were enduring a trial by ice and fire.

He couldn’t bear to pull the blanket back up, his hands resting on her smooth back, just resting, not daring to move one bit, even though they were already burning and sweating profusely.

Fingers delicate as silk.

Both seemed to hear each other’s heartbeat, thumping like a drum.

No one thought about what to do next, no one knew what to do next, just silence, with burning cheeks, disordered breaths, and a heart beating out of rhythm.

Suddenly, a loud shout was heard, "What are you doing?"

The two were startled apart.

Ronggui, quick of eye and deft of hand, in the moment of panic remembered to wrap her with the blanket, while Shu Hui rushed over, grabbing a chair by the bed and aiming it directly at Ronggui.

Ronggui, shocked, hugged his head and leaped away.

"You brat! You’ve got guts! Let me break your legs!" Shu Hui chased him with the chair in hand, "Tricked me into coming to comfort Little Sha and took the opportunity to take advantage! I’ll bash you, you little pervert!"

He hugged his head as the chair hit his back, causing Tu Hengsha’s heartache, "Run! Run! Go home quickly!"

He was worried, scampering around while asking her, "Are you okay? Are you scared being alone?"

Shu Hui was furious, swinging the chair again, "Leaving you means being alone? Am I not a person? Brat, are you cursing me?"

Tu Hengsha shouted, "Run! I’m fine!" Wrapping herself in the blanket, she ran to stand between them, seeing the chair coming her way, she hurriedly reached out to grab it.

In the end, the chair was indeed stopped by her, but her wrapped blanket fell once more.

Leaving nothing to the imagination.

He inadvertently turned back at this moment, seeing her rear-end completely exposed.

Shu Hui was about to go crazy, "Still looking, are you? Be careful, I’ll gouge your eyes out!"

He quickly closed his eyes in fright, indicating that he saw nothing.

"I knew it! You had bad intentions! I warn you, from now on, you are not allowed to step foot in my house again! Get out of here!" Shu Hui frantically picked up the blanket, wrapping her daughter back up.

"Get out quick!" Tu Hengsha glared back as she wrapped herself up.

"Then... then I’ll leave. You rest well, I’ll come to pick you up for work tomorrow!" He hastily turned and ran.

"Coming again?" Shu Hui, angered, grabbed the chair and chased after him, "You hearing me or what? Never come looking for my Little Sha again!"

Ronggui feared the chair and dashed away swiftly, disappearing without a trace.

Tu Hengsha worried he’d get hit again, and chased after him, "Mom! Stop scolding him, it was me who seduced him!" After speaking, seeing he was no longer in the house, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Hearing her words, Shu Hui was enraged and pinched her face hard, "Enough already, aren’t you ashamed? You’re a girl, have some self-respect!"

"What’s wrong with two loving people making love? If you and Dad cared about face so much, I wouldn’t be here!" She mumbled under the safety of her blanket.

Shu Hui heard her clearly and slapped her butt, "The more you speak, the worse it gets! Can’t you be a bit modest? Saying things like this, aren’t you ashamed to speak out loud?"

"I only said it at home, didn’t mention it outside!" Wrapped in a thick blanket, being whacked didn’t hurt her, but she couldn’t stop thinking about how much Ronggui must have hurt from that chair slam.

Thinking of this, she returned to her room to change into pajamas, then came out again to look for medicated oil in the small drawer.

"What are you looking for?" Shu Hui saw her searching haphazardly through the drawer and asked.

She took the medicated oil in her hand but didn’t answer.

"Oh, he needs medicine just for a little smash?" Shu Hui snorted.

"He isn’t your loved one, of course you don’t feel pain!" Her tone was filled with emotion.

Shu Hui had a headache, "I tell you, Tu Hengsha, you’re a girl, can’t you be a little reserved? Going on about love isn’t sickening? Besides, so what if I hit him? My cabbage was being rooted by a pig right in front of me, can I not be angry?"

"I’ve already said, even if the cabbage was rooted by a pig, he is the cabbage! I rooted him first!"

Shu Hui was so angry that she grabbed a stick to hit her again, "I raised such a big daughter all for nothing! My education has been such a failure! Looks like today I need to properly teach you again!"

Tu Hengsha made a face at her and dashed into her room, slamming the door shut.
