Chapter 436: Chapter 436: Next Door 4_1

He Teng was also relieved, thankful that the quilts in winter are thick, so Zhilan lying next to him wouldn’t notice his.. typical male reaction.

In fact, He Teng was also feeling quite frustrated. Since he began his hospital stay, he had been tortured constantly. His wife was always flirting with him, and yet he couldn’t touch her at all. The frustration!

Consider that they’re newlyweds who gave up being vegetarians after over two decades, with Zhilan lying next to him, her hand holding onto his arm. His arm was practically her body heat. He Teng was feeling extremely thirsty, being tortured, but was also mindful of Zhilan’s injured hand. He was afraid that once he got carried away, he’d forget about her hand and accidentally hurt her.

Zhilan made a sound and then tightly closed her eyes, chanting in her heart, "I can’t hear it, I can’t hear it..."

But it seemed that self-hypnosis didn’t work. Zhilan was going crazy. If she didn’t know what the noises were, it wouldn’t have been a problem. It just so happened that-- hey, she was married too, right?

She glanced at He Teng and didn’t know if his skin was inherently dark, making it difficult to decipher from his face, or if he, hearing these noises, could indeed keep his composure.

"Zhilan, don’t keep staring at me. My face isn’t going to help you sleep." After a long while, He Teng eyeds closed, made a sudden comment, then moved, turning his back towards Zhilan.

"Stingy, doesn’t even let me watch him." Zhilan mumbled, then followed suit, but she was going to get up.

He Teng next to her ignored what she said, but when she started to get up, he turned back and asked, "Where are you going?"

"I’m thirsty~" While Zhilan talked, she involuntarily licked her lips, "Did I have too much salt for dinner? I want to drink water."

"Stay put. I’ll pour some for you." He Teng stood up to pour Zhilan some water as soon as he finished speaking, then passed it to her lips, "The water’s a bit cool. I brought it with me when bringing my stuff over. Drink less."

"Okay." Zhilan replied with her mouth, but when she gulped down the cool water, she surprisingly felt refreshed despite the cold weather.

As for He Teng, because he was standing, and Zhilan was kneeling on the bed bowing her head to drink the water from his hand, he could clearly see every detail of her drinking water from his vantage point. Her pink lips moving, her eyelashes vibrating slightly, he could even clearly see her swallowing.

Her pajamas were common cotton flowered ones, long pants, long sleeves, but it showed off her waistline better than the thick cotton clothes she wore during the day. Even the softness at her chest could slightly lift the fabric of her clothes. This image floated into He Teng’s mind, even the hand holding the bowl, all longing to touch that soft fullness.

After a few sips of water, Zhilan lay back satisfied. He Teng put the bowl away after finishing the last sip of water left, but the cool water into his stomach did not alleviate the heat from his body at all.

He Teng naturally knew that he yearned for his wife a lot right now.

With a sigh, He Teng resigned himself to lie next to Zhilan again. The noise from next door was incessant, and getting worse.

"Bro~ how long are they going to keep this up? They’re not really gonna keep this up all night, right? Am I supposed to sleep or not?" Zhilan complained a little, but after that remark, she knew that it was perfectly normal for the young couple next door to have an affectionate reunion after a long time apart. Her complaining was baseless.
