Chapter 879: You canst bully the crippled (1/2)

Although he’d overheard Han Yunxi’s conversation with Zhao mama, Long Feiye didn’t mention a word of the Baili pair after entering the room. It was unclear what Han Yunxi thought of them, either, but a complicated look flickered past her eyes as she decided not to ask.

Since she couldn’t do much besides sit, he knelt down in front of her to inspect her legs. “How is it? Do they still hurt?”

“They don’t. You can knock on them!” Han Yunxi rapped her hands against the wooden planks attached to her legs. They really didn’t hurt. Despite this, Long Feiye couldn’t bear to tap them. He called for dinner before cleaning up his account books and washing his hands. Then he went to change clothes. Han Yunxi sat watching him do everything with a smile, unaware that her happiness was written all over her face. No matter what Long Feiye did, it was always pleasing to watch. Everyone always said that admiring handsome men was good for the mind and body. Han Yunxi felt that this logic made a lot of sense.

Once Long Feiye finished his tasks, he carried over some water to help Han Yunxi wash her own hands. Without a word, she watched him bend down and concentrate on the task at hand. She wished she could freeze this moment in a painting for all eternity. At this second, they were nothing but ordinary husband and wife, with no need to worry about national affairs. All they had to do was live their lives, wash their hands, and eat.

“Long Feiye….”

“Hm?”

“How did I meet you of all people? Just how?”

Long Feiye looked at her without a word.

“Long Feiye…”

“Hm?”

“How did we ever manage to meet?”

Long Feiye continued to wash her hands without a word, but Han Yunxi looked up with a tender tone. “Long Feiye, I was thinking…”

Long Feiye covered her eyes with his hand. “What nonsense are you thinking of now? Get ready to eat.”

“It’s not nonsense, I was just thinking--”

“Eat!” he cut her off. He was naturally cold and distant, so he’d never discuss tender matters of affection with Han Yunxi unless he was in the right mood. Now he avoided her gaze, seemingly feeling awkward.

Han Yunxi noticed his evasiveness and suddenly laughed. “Long Feiye, I was thinking that my hands aren’t crippled, so why are you washing them for me?”

Long Feiye looked back, clearly startled. This was the first time Han Yunxi had seen him wear a “silly” expression, which made her laugh out loud. He knitted his brows as he realized she’d been teasing him, so he splashed a handful of water at her face. Immediately, Han Yunxi dodged. Following that, Long Feiye splashed water on her body instead. Since Han Yunxi’s legs were broken, she couldn’t escape.

“Alright, alright!” she said as she looked at him. “It was just a joke!”

Without a word, the sober and serious Long Feiye splashed her with another dose of water, soaking Han Yunxi’s clothes. She didn’t dodge, but smoothed out her expression to giving him a provoking look. Both of them stared sternly at each other. Long Feiye’s eyes narrowed as his lips pursed into a dangerous line. Han Yunxi met him square on as she raised her chin with a scornful glare.

Long Feiye leaned forward until he had her trapped between his arms. His gaze was chilly enough to made other people faint from fright, but Han Yunxi remained glaring at him with a warning. Long Feiye ignored it and lowered his head as if to bite her. Yet Han Yunxi blocked him and pointed sternly at her legs. Then she waved her hand like a queen gesturing her subordinate to withdraw.

Finally, Long Feiye broke the silence with a snort. Han Yunxi joined in like a small woman intoxicated by her success. Yet soon enough, he leaned over her again, expression serious. Han Yunxi placed her hands against his firm chest with another warning. “You can’t bully the crippled!”

She was injured. No matter how much they fooled around, Long Feiye had to yield to her!

“We can...bully you in other ways,” Long Feiye muttered, his breath hot against her ear. Han Yunxi couldn’t help but shiver. His lips were already teasing her sensitive spots.

Heavens, he must have gone mad. She quickly pushed him aside. “You can’t!”

He lowered his voice even further. “Behave, don’t move.” She just had to sit there and let him wait on her.

Han Yunxi’s face reddened. How could she allow that! She couldn’t begin to imagine it. As Long Feiye prepared to take off her clothes, Xu Donglin called from the door.
