Chapter 14

“Not yet, just awhile longer.” It was very comfortable embracing this beauitful woman. Moreover, he really liked watching the little rascal’s face panting with rage.

“软玉馨香” – Literally jade (in particular, soft jade/nephrite) fragrance; Not sure what this means since jade shouldn’t have a smell…? (Consulted with Jenny) Update: 2/22/16 – zskyfish has brought to my attention that xia0xiao1mei (translator of Chaos of Beauty) mentions in her footnote-ch20 that fragrance and jade refers to a beautiful woman! Thank you ~

“But I need to go to the bathroom.”

“You really know how to kill the mood.”

“This isn’t something I can control.” She couldn’t help twisting her hips because nature called.

With one twist of her b.u.t.t, Zhong Zhen Dong immediately felt troubled. He discovered his “little brother” was now very easily aroused from just one of her unintentional actions. It certainly wouldn’t be very pleasant if he pitched a tent in public.

He could only resolve to let her go, and hold her hand while walking back to their residence.

As expected, people really shouldn’t be obstinate. Zhong Zhen Dong became accustomed to taking cold showers, and he liked to immerse himself under the showerhead. As for drying his hair, he liked letting it dry naturally .

When the little white rabbit was around, she’d help him dry his hair with a blow dryer. If she didn’t a.s.sist him, he would go back to his usual habit of walking around with his hair wet. He relied on his st.u.r.dy build, believing that having his hair wet wasn’t a big deal. However, he didn’t expect that he would actually win the grand prize; catching a very big cold.

It’s already been several years since he last caught a cold. This time, it came back with a vengeance, causing him to be thoroughly defeated. In addition to having a headache, he had a sore throat, his whole body ached, and his forehead was burning to the point he felt faint. He felt extremely unwell. The medicine he ate was ineffective, so much so that he wanted to vomit and have diarrhea.

“兵败如山倒” – troops in defeat like a landslide; a beaten army in total collapse

Tang Xin Lian immediately took up the responsibility of taking care of him. “Your cold isn’t the usual small cold, the momentum of it is fierce. There’s actually no medicine to treat colds, taking medicine will actually hinder your body’s immune system. You don’t have to do anything, just have a good night’s sleep. I’ll keep you company.”

He tiredly opened his eyes half way to look at her. She still had that auntie hairstyle, clipping her long hair to the back of her head. Because she was taking care of housework, she didn’t care about her appearance. But he thought that her smile at this moment was very beautiful. Hearing her tender voice made him experience a never felt before tranquility.

He closed his eyes and peacefully went to sleep.

When it was time to eat, she woke him up to get out of bed. Sometimes he ate sweet potato/yam porridge, which was full of nutrition, with a light but tasty side dish. Other times, he ate noodles with beef stew; the meat stew was soft and aromatic, very appetizing.

When he finished eating, he wanted to lie down again but she wouldn’t let him. She said it wasn’t good for digestion, and proceeded to place the pillow behind his back at a comfortable angle so that he could lean back on it and rest.

He sat with his eyes closed, resting. Feeling sleepy and hazy, he felt someone help him gently lie down. He took this opportunity to smell the scent coming from her body. He knew that she didn’t apply perfume, but she still had this type of faint, fresh smell. Sometimes it smelled like tangerine, sometimes lavender or peppermint. This was because when she was cleaning the house, she took note to use brand named detergents. Every time he went to the supermarket to buy products with her, she always carefully checked the product’s raw materials.

“Just because it’s cheap, doesn’t mean it’s good. Nothing comes for free, the quality of a product is very important. Sometimes, it’s necessary to let others make a profit. This way, businesses can survive. We need to support good commodities, being too greedy and buying cheap goods is a kind of deception that will ultimately harm yourself.” She always patiently informed him like this.
