Chapter 122: Chapter 122 She even thinks she’s gone too far!

In the evening, Xiaoxiao and Yang Ming returned to their room and busied themselves with heating the kang and washing. After a while, Yang Ming sat down at the table to read. Although he appeared calm and composed, he was actually on pins and needles. Today’s event made him realize the dangers they faced. He knew he had to be more careful in the future and protect his wife.

Xiaoxiao watched Yang Ming focus on his studies and thought to herself that he must really love learning. She assumed he must need quite a lot of money for it, so she decided it would be better to give him the Silver. She really didn’t want to manage his money for him.

So, she took out one hundred twenty-five taels and placed them on the table in front of Yang Ming. "You better manage the Silver yourself!"

"..." How was his wife still thinking about that Silver? He handed it back to her, as he didn’t need that much money.

Xiaoxiao, seeing this, handed it back to him, and Yang Ming pushed it back to her again. After several back-and-forths, Xiaoxiao became furious and slapped him on the back, "Don’t you need money for your studies?"

Suddenly, Yang Ming grunted. This...

Xiaoxiao then realized something was wrong. They had fought today, and Yang Ming taking on five men by himself meant he must have been injured. She felt she had been too harsh, never once asking about his condition after the fight. Even if they weren’t a real couple, as friends, she should have shown some concern.

"Are you injured?"

"Just a minor injury, it’s nothing!"

"No, let me have a look!"

"Really, there’s no need!"

"Let me see!"

"..."

"..."

The two of them went back and forth until Yang Ming, unable to refute his wife any longer, reluctantly took off his shirt for her to see.

When Xiaoxiao saw it, the traces from the beating were shocking, some areas even showing bruises. If it weren’t for Yang Ming’s strong physique, he could have broken bones!

Xiaoxiao’s heart skipped a beat, a surge of panic rising, "Don’t move, wait, I’ll go see if there’s any leftover medicine from last time with Yang Qiu." Saying this, she dashed out the door.

Yang Ming was left shirtless, not knowing whether to put on his shirt or not, as his wife had ordered him to wait. She had finally started to think of him, creating an illusion in his mind that perhaps he didn’t even need medicine for the pain to go away.

Xiaoxiao soon returned, prepared a basin of hot water, soaked the washcloth, wrung it out, and was just about to wipe Yang Ming’s back when he spoke up.

"I can do it myself!"

"Can you reach your back?"

"..."

Though familiarity makes things easier, and she had wiped his back before, it still felt daunting since Yang Ming was awake.

Xiaoxiao hesitated, then, gritting her teeth and stomping her foot, she proceeded to wipe his back.

She carefully helped wipe his back, and then bit by bit applied the medicine. Maybe it was the nervousness, but her cheeks were slightly red, and her hands trembled a little. She didn’t feel like her usual carefree self.

At this moment, Yang Ming was facing away from Xiaoxiao, but he could feel the softness of her hands and hear her somewhat heavy breathing. She must be nervous, and so was he.

"All done. Put on your shirt," she said.

"Okay!"

"From now on, speak up if something’s wrong. Don’t keep silent."

"Okay!"

"I’m sorry about today!"

"..."

"I should have asked about your injuries right away."

"It’s okay!" Yang Ming turned around with a smile, brimming with contentment.

"..." Huh! What did she see? The cheap husband of hers actually smiled! A toothy one at that, and he finally looked less pained! But that smile, it was definitely electrifying, absolutely toxic!

"Keep the money. You’ll need it for your studies, you can’t just keep asking me for money."

"Okay!"
