Chapter 318 Strong Affection
“Xiaoyi…” Meng Xuan called her hesitantly, “What do you want to do?” Was she coming back because she was sleepy?
In Qizhen Fantasy Dream, that Meng Xuan begged her, “Xiaoyi, I just hope that if I make any mistakes in the future, or I let you be sad or disappointed, you would go straight to tell me and correct my problems. The Meng Xuan three years ago doesn’t know how to be a good lover, but I hope you could teach him and don’t abandon him, okay?”
Inspired by these words, He Danggui took off the overdress and walked to the table to prepare a bowl of corn syrup soup and a bowl of medicine. Then, she walked to the bed while holding the two bowls steadily. She opened the curtain and then sat on the bed. She said softly, “I’ll spoon-feed you medicine. It’s the emergency medicine for bleeding knife wound. Take a little soup first and then take the medicine. Later, I’ll dispense some pills for you.”
Meng Xuan was overjoyed and even his body regained a little sense. Feeling his fingers under the quilt twitched, Meng Xuan asked, “You spoon-feed me?”
“Of course, you can’t move now.” He Danggui squinted at him and then crawled closer. She picked up the spoon full of the soup and blew it slightly, “Open your mouth. Ah—”
“Ah—” Meng Xuan opened his greedy mouth.
A spoonful of hot soup was poured down. It scorched his tongue and choked him a little bit. However, he still smiled while coughing, “Delicious! Did you cook it for me?”
“I don’t have time. I just saw them in the kitchen, so I brought you some.” He Danggui did not know that the soup was hot. She took a spoonful of the soup again and exhorted him, “Take it slowly. Be careful not to choke. Ah—”
“Ah—” Meng Xuan opened his mouth, revealing his tongue which was burned.
“Huh? Your tongue is so red. Is the soup too hot?” He Danggui tasted the soup and was also scalded. She hurriedly swallowed it and apologized to Meng Xuan, “I’m sorry. I didn’t expect Qing’er’s design of potholder to be so effective. I didn’t feel the heat of soup. Why don’t you tell me?”
“I don’t care. I want more!” Meng Xuan squinted and opened his mouth. “Ah—”
He Danggui stirred the soup for a while before continuing to spoon-feed him. She exhorted, “Slow down. Be careful not to choke…” After a dozen spoons, all the soup had gone into Meng Xuan’s stomach. Seeing Meng Xuan’s hungry look, she had to say, “Wait here, I’ll bring you some again.” She shouldn’t have taken off her overdress.
Meng Xuan shook his head heavily, “I’m full. Don’t leave me. Feed me the medicine!”
After spoon-feeding him some medicine. He Danggui asked him, “Since you could shake your head, are you able to move now?”
“Only my neck.” Meng Xuan replied.
He Danggui did not doubt him. She explained as she continued to spoon-feed him, “This decoction is called Jiangjun Powder, composed of lime, rhubarb and dragon’s blood. It is just for emergency use. No one in my yard has ever been hurt this badly. Therefore, I don’t have herbs for knife wounds. I will take care of your wound after helping you solve another problem.”
“Another problem?” Meng Xuan was looking at her.
He Danggui glanced at the bulge down there and said frankly, “You know what I mean.”
Meng Xuan was choked by the medicine again. He asked while coughing, “Xiaoyi…you are willing to help me… Ahem, does it mean that you agree to marry me?”
He Danggui patted at his back to let him calm down and spoon-fed him the rest of the medicine. Then she moved the two bowls and closed the curtain. Wearing a flowered dress and getting into the quilt that was warmed by Meng Xuan, she lay down facing him, and Meng Xuan also turned his head to look at her. They stared at each other for a while before Meng Xuan couldn’t help asking, “What will you do to help me?”
He Danggui took a deep breath and climbed onto Meng Xuan’s chest, “This is my first time. If you don’t feel good, please just tell me.” Then, her trembled fingers slid across the man’s body all the way to the most secret place and warped the hottest part finally.
“Xiaoyi, you…” Meng Xuan was too shocked to say a complete sentence. She did it for him! He didn’t expect such a big transformation, and even the fire of desire had dissipated a little bit.
He Danggui leaned against his chest and slightly moved her hands. She tried to be calm, “Meng Xuan, I know your affection, and I am touched. In fact, you are the best man for me in this world. Last time, I was very happy to see you at Chengxu Academy. However, at that time, I was troubled by Zhu Quan and Feng Yang. I was worried about falling into Zhu Quan’s control again. I have always known how your affection to me. I thought that I may ask you for help.”
“Zhu Quan and Feng Yang?” Meng Xuan felt that the half of his body was in the ice and the other half was in the fire. He had to clench his fists to enjoy the most wonderful joy in the world.
“Exactly.” He Danggui determined to tell everything he could know so that he would no longer suffer for an imaginary rival. She started from the beginning, “When Madam Luo and I were on the way home from Shui Shang Temple, the horses of Madam Luo’s carriage were shocked and ran wildly in the street. At the time, an oncoming carriage of Feng Yang helped to stop our horses and rescued Madam Luo. Therefore, Madam Luo invited Feng Yang and a man on his carriage to our mansion.”
“Was the man Zhu Quan?” The beauty’s clean and smooth forehead was so close to him, and he couldn’t help but kiss it.
Feeling that her forehead was covered by the warm breath, He Danggui half closed her eyes and said, “You know him. He used a fake name Ning Yuan, a friend of Feng Yang and a guest of Luo’s Family. You once sat with him at the same table at the banquet. Didn’t you feel he was familiar to you?”
“I did! I was also taken aback when I first saw him.” Meng Xuan changed his posture and drew the girl in his arms up a little bit. He showed a greedy look again, “It’s bitter in my mouth. I want some candy.” His eyes were looking at the two cherry-red lips.
He Danggui’s actions suddenly stiffened, and she asked in amazement, “Can you move now? It’s been less than an hour! I thought you couldn’t move until the evening… Well, I guess you can help yourself now.”
Meng Xuan was anxious and screamed, “Only my arms! My hands are still stiff and numb. How can you stop now? What is the difference between this and not saving me? Please don’t stop!” For this girl, he had done everything. After the girl’s little hand moved again, he moaned and puckered his lips shamelessly, “Candy, candy…”
He Danggui turned her face in embarrassment and stared at the pattern on the curtain, “Don’t you want to know the relationship between me and Zhu Quan? Now I’m telling you, but you interrupt me!”
Meng Xuan said happily, “Let him go to hell! I have you in my arms now. I don’t care about him! Come on! Xiaoyi, stop talking about him and let me kiss you. I will do everything for you.”
He Danggui felt that he was about to move, so she stopped him anxiously, “Don’t move! Your wound has been torn up three times! You are not made of steel. Though your wound is not deep or infected by poison, it is still bleeding. That is weird! Who hurt you?”
Meng Xuan did not answer her words but only puckered his lips. He Danggui had to bow her face to him, but Meng Xuan said, “Down there! Don’t stop! It’s more uncomfortable after you stop.” Then, he kissed her lips that came to him as he wished.
This time, both of them were immersed in the kiss intently. At first, they looked at each other’s eyes to find their figures. Then, they closed their eyes at the same time to enjoy it. When the long kiss was over, He Danggui leaned against Meng Xuan’s chest breathlessly and continued to ask, “Who hurt you? If you don’t tell me the truth, I can’t set a treating plan for you.”
Meng Xuan, like a cat catching a fish, showed his teeth and told her, “Don’t worry. You probably recognize the person who hurt me. It’s Lu Jiangbei from the imperial guard who looks exactly like Ning Yuan. He is very powerful, but I won’t lose again. I was hurt by him because of you, Xiaoyi.”
“For what?” He Danggui looked at him in surprise, “What does that have to do with me? Why did you fight him? Aren’t you both serving the emperor?”
Tears showed in Meng Xuan’s eyes. He looked at her pitifully and pled, “Don’t stop your hands. Can you exert your strength more?” He Danggui followed his request, but Meng Xuan howled again in pain, “Oh! You can’t squeeze it! You are murdering your husband again!”
Seeing his reaction, He Danggui did not dare to move anymore. Meng Xuan sighed and muttered, “You really don’t know how to do.” Then, he suddenly could move freely. He moved the girl in his arms with his left hand. Then he removed her little hand and took over her job with his right hand. At the same time, he groaned, “It could have been the sweet memory, but I do it myself. How will you compensate me in the future?”
He Danggui buried her face in his chest speechlessly. This man was her chosen husband!
The two of them were like small boats on the sea undulating along with the waves and ripples. The bed swayed slightly, so did the curtain. After a while, Meng Xuan gave a muffled growl. He said, “Xiaoyi, I love you… We will be together forever…”
After a long while, the boats stopped drifting. Meng Xuan calmed down. His cheeks were dyed with pink color, and his eyes brightened. He looked at the girl in his arms and smiled lazily, “You can’t regret it this time. Xiaoyi, I’m yours from now on.”
He Danggui curled up on his chest and asked softly, “Shenshi, when will you come to marry me?”
