[R18] Want a daughter-in-law – “Desire for a Daughter-in-law” Chapter 65 – Close [English]
byThe morning light breaks through the clouds and slowly falls on the quiet bedroom like water.
The thin curtains were slightly lifted by the morning breeze, and the sunlight fell through the gaps, like a layer of warm gauze, gently covering every line in the room.
The light was not dazzling, but rather like some kind of gentle hand, passing through the clouds, brushing through the hair, touching her cheek, gently and slowly waking her up from her sleep.
Shu Qi frowned and her long eyelashes trembled slightly, as if they were disturbed by some soft breath.
“Well…” She didn’t open her eyes immediately, but turned her neck slightly and muttered softly.
Then, she slowly opened her eyes, her vision was blurry, and her consciousness was still on the edge of a warm and soft dream.
During this period of half-dream and half-awake, the physical sense of reality came back little by little.
As soon as he moved, his body felt like being pricked by fine needles, and his waist, legs, chest, and even his fingertips all felt sore and tender.
The most painful part was the most tender part. She almost didn’t dare to move, and the slightest tug made her gasp.
She wanted to raise her hands to rub her eyes, but the moment her muscles stretched, pain coursed through her body like an electric current.
My arms feel weak, my chest feels swollen, my legs and lower back feel like they have been twisted, and every breath feels sore.
“…Does it hurt?” Brother Sheng’s gentle voice came from the side in a low voice, as if he had been watching her wake up for a long time.
She didn’t answer, just frowned slightly.
The next second, she felt a warm hand gently put on her shoulder, carefully lifted her up, and let her lean on his chest.
“Drink some water first.” He’s tone was gentle and his breath was calm.
She bit her lip, trying hard not to moan. When she took the water glass, her hands trembled slightly. He just hugged her, letting her whole body press into his arms.
“Are you feeling very uncomfortable? Can you please stop holding it in and tell me?”
She lowered her head and said in a voice so soft that it was almost inaudible: “I…seem to be really broken…”
Brother Sheng was startled for a moment, then he put his palm on the top of her head and stroked it gently.
“…If you are broken, then I will take care of you for the rest of your life.”
Those words were like something cracking from her heart, and her eyes turned red in an instant.
Shu Qi leaned into He’s arms and her breathing slowed down.
“Let me change a towel for you.”
He didn’t say any more, and put a towel on her lower body. Shu Qi felt the coldness seeping into the overheated skin little by little. He was focused and careful, his palms were warm and his strength was very light, like stroking a piece of injured porcelain.
Shu Qi looked at He’s appearance, and felt soft and confused in her heart. Just when she was about to say something, her stomach rumbled unexpectedly. Brother Sheng heard the sound and turned his head to look at Shu Qi, with a faint smile on his lips.
Shu Qi’s face turned slightly red. After a few seconds, she said softly: “…I’m hungry.”
Brother Sheng smiled slightly and looked down at her: “After all, it’s been two days since I’ve eaten.”
“It’s all my fault, I’ve troubled you so much…Thank you so much.”
Upon hearing this, Shu Qi’s ears and face instantly turned rosy, and she said, “…it’s obviously you who has a harder time…” The voice was very low, like mumbling, and Brother Sheng couldn’t hear it clearly for a moment.
“Huh? What are you talking about?”
She blinked and said coquettishly: “Nothing… I said, I want to eat the breakfast you made.”
He laughed and kissed the top of her hair gently, “Okay, then I will carry you downstairs and you sit down and wait for me to do it.”
After saying that, he carefully picked her up and took every step he took.
“What do you want to eat?” he asked her in a low voice as he walked away.
“I’ll eat whatever you want…” She buried her face in He’s chest and whispered.
After going downstairs, he put her on a chair and gave her a cushion and blanket.
He turned around and went into the kitchen first, turned on the coffee machine, ground the coffee beans carefully, boiled hot milk, and made a warm and delicate hot latte for her. The milk foam was dense and fragrant, and he gently brought it to her.
“Drink some coffee first to warm yourself up.”
She took it, held the cup with both hands, put her face against the rim of the cup and took a deep breath of the aroma, looking at he with soft eyes: “It smells so good…”
He rubbed her head, smiled and turned back to the kitchen to start preparing breakfast.
After a while, the sound of a spatula turning was heard.
She sipped her coffee, but her eyes fell on him involuntarily.
Brother Sheng was wearing a loose top, but still showed his strong arm lines. He was chopping vegetables and flipping pots with neat and gentle movements.
She suddenly had an illusion.
Such he seems to belong to she long ago.
Not her father-in-law, nor Shuwei’s father, but… her man.
She took a bite of the milk foam, and her face felt a little warm. I don’t know if it was because of the heat, or because of the almost uncontrollable thought:
“…It would be great if it could always be like this.”
Shu Qi looked at the busy figures in the kitchen while sipping the coffee; the warm taste of the coffee filled her mouth, and the warmth of emotion and happiness penetrated her breathing bit by bit.
The aroma of food quickly filled the entire space, and after a while, a simple, hearty and nutritious breakfast was ready.
he brought the plates to the table one by one.
Mashed potatoes, pan-fried chicken drumsticks, grilled tomatoes, sliced avocados, and some fruits and vegetables, it makes people want to eat. Shu Qi looks like a hungry little beast, looking at Brother Sheng with wide eyes, which makes him laugh.
“Here, open your mouth.” He picked up a piece of chicken with a fork, carefully cooled it and fed it to her.
She took it with a blushing face, took a bite, and curved the corners of her mouth slightly, full of sweetness.
Shu Qi raised her hand and gently stroked Brother Sheng’s face with her fingertips, “Thank you for your hard work…doing so much for me.” She whispered, her voice trembling slightly.
Brother Sheng smiled and didn’t reply. He just lowered his head and kissed her palm, then picked up a piece of chicken drumstick again, blew on it, and fed it to her mouth: “Good boy, eat your fill first.”
She took a bite and chewed slowly, as if she was savoring every inch of the smell, and as if she was waiting for him to say something.
“…When you recover a little, let’s go for a walk, okay?” he suddenly spoke, his tone soft.
“Where to go?”
“Wherever you want to go, I’ll accompany you.”
She looked at him, and her eyes were a little dazed for a moment: “…Anywhere is okay?”
He nodded, scooped up the mashed potatoes with a spoon, and said, “The beach, camping, mountain climbing, hot springs, or wherever you want to go, it’s all fine.”
“Then…” She suddenly smiled, as if the pain in her body was diluted.
He turned to look at her, only to see her lowering her head slightly, her eyelashes drooping, and the corners of her lips curved into a vague smile.
“Then… go to your house?”
“Huh?”
