Chapter 215 Bah! He Gou!
Ye Xiaoxiao thoroughly enjoyed being fed throughout the process, sighed, smacked her lips contentedly, and joked:
"Ah Jing, it wouldn't be bad if you fed me like this every day."
Unexpectedly, the man said in a serious tone, "Xiao Xiao, it tastes better when you cook for yourself."
Ye Xiaoxiao shrugged helplessly. Well, this man is allergic to romance.
After lunch, He Jing took out paper and pen and rewrote the words on the plaque.
"Xiao Xiao, wait for me at the clinic. Don't move this hand around. I'll have someone frame the signboard. I'll be right back."
He Jing left a few words and strode out the door.
Before he returned, Ye Xiaoxiao treated several patients whose right hand was unable to write. She went next door to ask Bai Qing to come and write a few prescriptions for him.
Her clinic only provided medical consultations; after writing a prescription, patients would go to the Wujitang clinic next door to pick up the medicine.
By the time He Jing hung up the plaque, it was already getting late.
The two bought some groceries on their way home.
As soon as they got home, He Wuyou and the others couldn't wait to share what happened at school that day.
"Sister-in-law! Are you hurt?"
He Wuyang, with her sharp eyes, spoke first, walking to Ye Xiaoxiao's side and examining her hand from left to right. He's mother and the other two children also cast concerned glances their way.
"It's nothing, don't worry. It's just a small cut, it'll be fine in a few days."
"I'll blow on it and it won't hurt anymore."
Ye Xiaoxiao let her blow, and patted her round little head with her left hand.
She began by asking, "How was your day at school?"
As soon as he said that, the group immediately perked up.
"My teacher praised my calligraphy today!"
"Today the Master taught us: Shang Daren, Qiu Yiji, Hua Sanqian... After teaching him, he said it was too simple, and that he would teach us something more difficult tomorrow."
"There's a big pine tree in the Master's courtyard!"
The group chatted amongst themselves, their eyes gleaming with excitement.
Mother He's doting gaze fell on the group: "These kids, ever since they came back from school, have been raving about how fun the school is, and they even happily finished the lessons the teacher assigned them early."
Looking at the children's excited faces, Ye Xiaoxiao gave them a thumbs up, raised her eyebrows, and smiled, "Today you're starting school, and my clinic is opening! We're having a big feast tonight. Your eldest brother will cook; just tell him what you want to eat!"
"Yes, yes!"
"I want to eat braised pork!"
"I want to eat pounded eggplant!"
"I want fish head tofu soup!"
Ye Xiaoxiao gave He Jing a look, "Go, Master Chef!"
Mother He told Ye Xiaoxiao to rest while she went to start the fire.
He Wuyou followed behind to wash the vegetables.
Ye Xiaoxiao then led He Wuyang and Lu Shi'an for a stroll in the vegetable garden to see which watermelons were edible.
......
After dinner, it was completely dark.
In the sweltering summer heat, sweaty clothes feel sticky and uncomfortable on the body, and once dry, they have a unique sour smell that is characteristic of summer.
After everyone in the family had finished showering, Ye Xiaoxiao looked at her bandaged right hand and was at a loss.
Should I take a bath or not?
While I was thinking, I saw He Jing carrying water into the bathroom next to the kitchen.
"Xiao Xiao, I've prepared the water for you. Come and wash up!"
With great foresight, Mother He instructed the children to return to their rooms, and then she went back to her own room as well.
Ye Xiaoxiao had made up her mind. As long as she raised her hand high enough, she wouldn't be afraid of the wound getting infected.
Summer clothes are thin and easy to take off.
Just as her left hand touched the eggplant-colored jacket she was wearing, she suddenly realized that the man hadn't left yet.
"Ah Jing, I'm going to take a bath."
"Ah."
"Ok?"
"..."
"Then hurry up and get out!"
"Your hands can't get wet, I'll wash them for you these next few days."
He Jing turned around and closed the door tightly.
"crunch-"
The sound struck Ye Xiaoxiao's heart, causing her to feel inexplicably tense.
She stared at the flickering candlelight, swallowed hard, and firmly refused, saying, "I can wash myself!"
He Jing leaned against the door, the corners of his lips slowly curving upwards, his eyes full of smiles.
"Xiao Xiao, are you shy?"
Ye Xiaoxiao stubbornly insisted, "I'm shy? How could I be shy?"
As soon as he finished speaking, He Jing's tall figure strode over.
"Don't worry, I won't do anything, I'll just help you take a bath."
Looking at the serious expression on the man's handsome face, Ye Xiaoxiao decided to believe him for the time being and nodded.
......
She reluctantly sat down in the bathtub, feeling as if she were a peeled egg, the sense of security that her clothes provided completely gone.
Outside the bathtub, the man's gaze was burning hot...
A pair of large hands suddenly touched her neck, making her skin tremble.
"Ah Jing... um..."
She just knew it!
She is now like a lamb to the slaughter.
As He Jing's large hand moved over her, a strange feeling welled up from the bottom of Ye Xiaoxiao's heart, spreading to her limbs and bones like a reed.
She didn't know how much time had passed. Looking at the water overflowing around the wooden tub and then at the half-full tub, she hated herself for believing the man's lies.
"He Jing! You despicable and shameless bastard!"
A thin layer of pink tinged her face, and a faint emotion flowed between her brows and eyes. The red beauty mark at the corner of her eye added a touch of ambiguity.
Perhaps because he had just experienced a turbulent undercurrent, his words had no deterrent effect whatsoever. To He Jing, they sounded more like a hundred claws scratching at his heart.
He stared intently at the person sitting in the bathtub, his eyes filled with an undisguised, churning desire.
"Xiao Xiao, I really didn't do anything."
"What do you mean by not doing anything?" Ye Xiaoxiao said, embarrassed and annoyed.
"I'm just helping you bathe, so naturally I need to clean you thoroughly inside and out," He Jing said without changing his expression.
"..." A thought flashed through Ye Xiaoxiao's mind: she wanted to grab He Jing's head and shove it hard into the bathwater to wake him up!
However, looking at the neatly dressed person in front of her, while she herself... she was clearly at a disadvantage.
Forget it!
She dismissed the idea, otherwise she would only suffer the consequences.
He Jing glanced meaningfully at the person sitting in the water: "Xiao Xiao, it's your hand that's injured, not mine. Don't you think so?"
After speaking, he looked at his well-defined hands, his slender fingers seemingly still retaining some warmth.
Ye Xiaoxiao followed his gaze, her face flushing again: ...
So does that mean you can do whatever you want with your hands?
He Jing's inner thoughts: Actually, I'm starting to regret it. Once Xiao Xiao's wounds have healed, I want to bathe with her. The desk could also be a good option... and the window...
Hearing the other person's thoughts, Ye Xiaoxiao thought: He Jing, you little rascal! Is this all you ever think about?
She suddenly realized something!
Ahhhhh! Shower... desk... windowsill... isn't that from my new picture book?
I hid myself perfectly! Nobody could find me!
He Jing, oh He Jing! Looks like you didn't miss a single page of that lousy picture! Aaaaaah!
Bah! He's a dog!
