Chapter 275: A Different Kind Of Bliss

After Xu Xiyan received the medicine from the counter and Huo Yunshen had his wound dressed, they reunited and left the hospital together.
Because of his injury, Huo Yunshen had been specially exempted from doing anything. He and Cherry just had to wait for the ready-made food.
After dinner, Xu Xiyan prepared to treat Huo Yunshen with acupuncture. Huo Yunshen said, “Forget it, you are tired from the day. You should rest early.”
“It’s all right, I’m not tired. Just lie down.”
His health naturally took top priority. Xu Xiyan didn’t care whether she was tired.
Under her insistence, Huo Yunshen obeyed and lay on the bed.
When Xu Xiyan opened his bathrobe, she was so shocked at what she saw that she sucked in a breath of cold air. “How come your back is injured too? Why didn’t you tell me?”
His back was bruised and swollen in many places. Xu Xiyan’s heart ached badly for him, and she felt like breaking into tears.
Other than being distressed for him, she was angry, too. She was angry at Huo Yunshen for not saying anything about it and keeping it to himself.
Looking at the bruised and swollen spots, Xu Xiyan could imagine how hard he had been hit by the sign. She thought that he had only hurt his forehead. Who knew that his back was injured too?
“It’s really nothing. It will heal in a few days.”
Huo Yunshen had not wanted to undergo acupuncture treatment tonight because he didn’t want her to see the injuries on his back.
“What do you mean ‘in a few days’? What if your ribs were broken too? What if there is an internal injury? Why are you so stubborn? What is there that you cannot tell me? If you had told me earlier, I could’ve gotten the doctor to look at your back at the hospital just now.”
Xu Xiyan was frustrated. After nagging at him, she went to look for an ointment—especially used by the Jing family to treat bruises and various muscle injuries—and helped him apply it to his back.
Huo Yunshen felt nice and warm in his heart as he listened to her nagging. Her delicate hand caressed his back as she applied the ointment. It was a different kind of bliss that he simply couldn’t describe.
Her touch may have reduced the swelling on his back, but something somewhere ‘down there’ had become swollen.
After applying the ointment, Xu Xiyan said, “All right, I’m not going to put needles in your back tonight. I’m going to apply them to the front.”
She helped Huo Yunshen turn onto his back, but Huo Yunshen suddenly grabbed her hand—not certain whether it was intentional—and with a little pull, Xu Xiyan fell and her body was planted onto his.
Her lower abdomen was pressed against a place where it should not have been pressed. Through the thinness of his clothes, she could clearly feel the dangerous heat and tightness of the man. It felt hot against her skin.
Almost in an instant, she felt a strong rushing current tingling and flowing through her limbs and into her bones, and couldn’t help but tremble.
The room became very quiet and time seemed to stand still. Xu Xiyan didn’t dare to move a muscle. She could clearly hear her heart beat in a chaotic rhythm in her chest.
She didn’t know why, but an itching desire was growing inside her. Her cheeks flushed with the thought, her mouth was so dry that she couldn’t speak and her body felt limp and helpless.
She wanted to get up, but the man was like a big magnet with strong attraction, pulling her to him.
At this time, the man’s cool fingers gently stroked her cheeks. Xu Xiyan’s heart was like a patch of wild grass, growing non-stop.
She swallowed as she let the man caress her freely.
Maybe… maybe they could take it further…
Huo Yunshen couldn’t control himself. His fingers swam naturally from her cheeks to her neck and shoulders, and then to the back.
Just as his hand was going lower, Ying Bao’s voice could suddenly be heard. “Xi Baby! Uncle Dimples!”
The two adults, who’d been immersed in another world, awoke from it at the same time.
