Chapter 140: Why Are You So Weak?

Page 1 of 3

When Liu Ruoxi and Nan Zhiyi returned, they found Wanzi pacing back and forth in front of Lin'er’s door. The two of them immediately understood what had happened.

How embarrassing.

After a while, Qin Xuan opened the door, intending to take a shower.

The moment he stepped out, he saw Liu Ruoxi and Nan Zhiyi lurking suspiciously outside. His sudden appearance startled them both.

“What are you two doing?”

“Ahem, nothing, absolutely nothing.” Liu Ruoxi shamelessly grabbed Nan Zhiyi and hurried away.

Seeing their reaction, Qin Xuan knew they must have heard everything just now...

After his shower, he found Lin'er still sprawled across the bed, too exhausted to move.

“Why are you so weak?” Qin Xuan reached out and touched her slightly overheated forehead, mocking her.

“Get lost! It’s all your fault.” Lin'er struggled to sit up and leaned against the cushions. After letting out a long breath, she stared at Qin Xuan reproachfully. “Don’t you know how to treat a lady gently?”

Qin Xuan thought to himself, She’s terrible and still refuses to admit it...

“Are you hungry? I’m going to make dinner.” Qin Xuan glanced at the time. It was already past five, and after being worn out for so long, Lin'er had to be hungry.

Sure enough, Lin'er nodded decisively when she heard that.

Qin Xuan kissed her on the cheek before leaving the room.

Watching him walk away, Lin'er could not help smiling.

What a wonderful feeling...

Although her whole body felt as though it had fallen apart.

When Qin Xuan stepped outside, he saw Liu Ruoxi and Nan Zhiyi still sitting on the sofa, whispering to each other about who knew what.

“What did you buy while you were out shopping?” Qin Xuan dropped himself between them and pulled them both into his arms.

“Just some necessities.” Liu Ruoxi took Qin Xuan’s hand and sniffed him repeatedly with her little nose.

“You didn’t wash properly. You still smell the same!”

“Hm?” Embarrassed, Qin Xuan lifted his collar and sniffed it. “No, I don’t. You must be mistaken.”

Liu Ruoxi suspiciously lifted his hand and sniffed it, especially around his fingers.

Sure enough!

With a look of disgust, she flung his hand away.

“Can’t you wash properly?”

Feeling awkward, Qin Xuan got up and headed back toward the bathroom...

After washing his hands thoroughly, Qin Xuan did not return to the living room. He went straight to the kitchen and reheated the leftovers from lunch.

Before long, Lin'er was eating at the table. She kept feeling Liu Ruoxi and Nan Zhiyi glance at her every now and then, which made her increasingly uncomfortable.

At last, Lin'er could not stand it anymore. She turned her head pitifully toward Liu Ruoxi.

“Sister Xi...”

“I only borrowed Qin Xuan for an afternoon. I’ll return him to you next time!”

Liu Ruoxi froze, then put down her chopsticks and waved her hand.

“It’s fine, it’s fine. Use him whenever you like.”

“I just want to know... are Qin Xuan’s hands nice?”

“Huh?”

Lin'er was completely bewildered until she saw the teasing look in Liu Ruoxi’s eyes and finally understood.

She immediately picked up her bowl and a dish and fled back to her room.

This was truly humiliating!

After they finished eating, everyone rested for a while. Then Qin Xuan dragged the women outside for a run. After all, physical health was important...

Lin'er had not wanted to go out, but she could not resist the look in Qin Xuan’s eyes. Before leaving, she even grabbed a popsicle.

They had not made it halfway around the river before Lin'er could no longer keep up. She dropped onto a bench beside the path.

Panting heavily, she waved at them.

“I can’t do this anymore. You go on without me. I’m exhausted!”

Seeing everyone looking at her with amusement, Lin'er lay there like a salted fish, unwilling to move even an inch.

Qin Xuan saw her trying to get away with it. He lowered his head and whispered something in her ear.

Her little face suddenly flushed. She sprang to her feet and continued running.

Liu Ruoxi and Nan Zhiyi exchanged a glance. They did not need to ask; whatever he had said, it was certainly not fit for public ears.

After alternating between running and walking for half an hour, they finally dragged their exhausted bodies home.

Lin'er was still holding the milk tea they had bought earlier. After the run, she had insisted on getting something to reward herself.

Qin Xuan took another shower before lying back on the bed. He stretched comfortably.

Not bad. His stamina had not declined at all. He would reward himself with a round of Bounty...

As soon as Liu Ruoxi returned, she saw Qin Xuan sitting in front of the computer, deeply focused on a game of chess.

“Oh? Trying to come in eighth again?”

“Who are you looking down on?” Qin Xuan retorted indignantly. “Seventh place at the very least this time!”

“Someone’s gone idle...”

“That’s all you’re capable of!” Liu Ruoxi let down her tied-up hair and collapsed back onto the bed, complaining helplessly.

Sure enough, after the player in seventh place was eliminated, Qin Xuan shut the computer in frustration.

Liu Ruoxi could not help laughing when she saw his expression.

“You’re still laughing? Just wait and see how I deal with you tonight.” As he spoke, Qin Xuan rolled up his sleeves and walked toward her.

Liu Ruoxi lay on her side, propping up her head as she examined him carefully.

“You? Are you really up to it?”

Those words infuriated Qin Xuan.

Tonight, he was determined to teach her a lesson!

That night, Lin'er’s hard-won peace of mind was stirred up all over again. Lying in bed with her little face burning red, she muttered to herself:

What on earth are you two doing?

It was nearly noon the next day before Qin Xuan emerged from his room, looking completely refreshed.

While he was washing up, Nan Zhiyi walked in and stood beside him, brushing her teeth.

After they finished, Nan Zhiyi did not say a word. She merely cast Qin Xuan a resentful glance before leaving.

Qin Xuan scratched his head awkwardly and headed for the kitchen.

He had barely begun chopping vegetables when his mother called him on video.

“Mom, what’s up?” Qin Xuan asked, puzzled as he looked at her on the screen.

“Can’t I call my own son for no reason?” Wang Manshu stuffed a piece of meat into her mouth and rolled her eyes at him. “Did you just get up?”

“Yes... I went to bed a little late last night.” Qin Xuan ran a hand through his slightly disheveled hair.

“Take care of yourself.” Wang Manshu eyed him awkwardly. “Where’s my daughter-in-law?”

Qin Xuan glanced back at Nan Zhiyi on the sofa. She was pressing a finger to her lips, signaling him to keep quiet.

“She hasn’t woken up yet. It’s the weekend, so she’s sleeping in.”

“Oh, are you two coming back next week?” Wang Manshu suddenly asked. Nan Zhiyi had mentioned it, and Qin Xuan had already told his mother.

“Yes. Your daughter-in-law wants to come home and visit you.” As he spoke, Qin Xuan glanced at Nan Zhiyi to gauge her reaction.

When Nan Zhiyi picked up a pillow and used it to block his view, Qin Xuan finally looked away, satisfied.

“All right. I’ll make something delicious for you when you come back.” Wang Manshu chatted with Qin Xuan for a while longer before ending the call.

After hanging up, Qin Xuan abandoned his plans to cook and walked over to Nan Zhiyi. She was still clutching the pillow, so he reached out and pinched her soft cheek.

“What’s wrong? Why are you sulking right after waking up?”

Nan Zhiyi slapped his hand away.

“You have the nerve to ask? You know perfectly well what you did last night!”

“Hm?” Qin Xuan looked at her with amusement. “Did I disturb you?”

“Then you should have gone to Ruoxi.”

“Forget that. I’m only interested in you!” Nan Zhiyi said fiercely.

Seeing her reaction, Qin Xuan did not say anything more. He lowered his head and kissed her cheek.

“All right, don’t be angry. I’ll keep you company tonight.”

“Who... who wants you to keep me company?” The moment Nan Zhiyi imagined what might happen, her face grew hot with embarrassment. She reached out and tried to push Qin Xuan away.
