Chapter 1502 - Location of the Second Rib Cage (1/2)
The room was dimly lit with warm light as Wen Xinya nestled in Si Yiyan’s arms. Under the hazy light, her hair that was as black as shadow fanned out soft and smooth like seaweed spreading on Si Yiyan’s chest.
Wen Xinya’s face was beautiful like a poppy, and her lazy, charming body exuded fatal temptation.
Wen Xinya’s snow-like fingers gently scratched the scar on Si Yiyan’s chest. This scar was about ten centimeters long from the chest to the ribs, probably caused by a sword. Because the injury was from a long time ago, the scary wound turned a slight nude color. But this pale nude color was very noticeable on Si Yiyan’s fair skin.
“Where did this scar come from?” Wen Xinya gently rubbed the scar with her fingers, her delicate fingertips soft like feathers.
Si Yiyan had had a lot of injuries, large and small, and there were still scar marks on his back. Some of these were left by his father’s cruel training, but most of them were from when he was in Russia, batting countless times between life and death.
She had been with Si Yiyan for so many years and she always knew that Si Yiyan was covered with scars. But she rarely asked about the origins of these injuries, not because she was not concerned or did not mind, but because she cared too much. She did not want to bring up his past which was often mixed with blood and tears.
“I don’t really remember!” Si Yiyan’s large palm stroked her smooth, jade-like back. It felt delicate and gentle to the touch, making him a little bit addicted.
The scar near this rib was from that time Xinya was abducted by Fu Tianyang. He rushed to rescue her despite having serious injuries and sent her to the hospital. Doing so exposed his own whereabouts. That night he was conspired against by the old men at Xiasi Group. He got sliced from the left chest to his ribs. At the same time, his seventh rib was broken.
The pain from the broken ribs was the most painful injury he had to suffer in his life. None of the others could compare.
He also realized from that moment why God said that women were men’s ribs.
“I remember. Gu Yuexi said that the cut was life-threatening. The seventh rib of your body was broken at the same time. The cracked bone stimulated the intercostal nerves and was very painful. Taking a deep breath, coughing, or any slight body movement would cause the pain to double. The pain limited your breathing on the injured side of your body. The fractured bone also punctured the intercostal blood vessels and lung tissue, giving you hemoptysis.”
Wen Wenya knew that Si Yiyan would never tell her this, so she asked Gu Yuehan about all of his injuries, big and small. No one knew better than Gu Yuehan how terrible these injuries were, and what kind of life and death situations they had experienced.
Si Yiyan gently touched her head. “I didn’t expect Gu Yuehan to gossip so much!”
At that time, Gu Yuehan was the only one by his side. Gu Yuehan was the only one who knew the full extent of the situation, no one else could have told her that.
“I’m his sis-in-law. If I asked him, would he dare to not tell me?” At the time, Xu Xianghu had gone to the east for half a year to dig up oil. Of course Gu Yuehan did not want to risk doing the same.
Si Yiyan thought of Xu Xianghu. At first, he came to him with tearful eyes accusing him of being cruel for sending him to the east. He burst out laughing. Now all of his subordinates knew that they were at the beck and call of their sis-in-law.
“Si Yiyan, I know the story of every single scar on you, so don’t you hide things from me saying that you don’t remember.” Wen Xinya pressed her lips slowly on the scar above the ribs with pity and gentleness.
Although she was not present in his past, that did not prevent her from feeling heartbroken from seeing all the injuries he had suffered.
“Ok!” Si Yixuan responded.
A soft kiss fell on that scar, it seemed to soothe the faint pain there. During all these numerous nights, Wen Xinya would, many times, kiss the scar on his body just like that, but never asked any questions.
