Chapter 38
Yao Zizhou’s Strategy
As soon as Ming Liuyi left, Yao Zizhou’s fingers twitched again. He was overjoyed! If the first time was a fluke, what about the second time? At the thought of being able to sleep with his wife at night, his heart softened, and he wished that he could hook his little finger onto his wife’s hand.
Later that night,?Ming Liuyi saw to hers and Yao Zizhou’s skin care regimen as usual, and even did a bit of two-person yoga. The need for a second person in this activity was actually quite obsolete. However, this was also the most relaxed moment of the day for Ming Liuyi, as she carefully and brazenly toyed with Yao Zizhou’s body.
Yao Zizhou was not used to it at first, but when Ming Liuyi’s smooth forehead was placed in his palm, if he were to give any reaction, it would have been a smile.
Ming Liuyi tossed and turned for a while, and then whispered, “You’ve been sleeping for so long. If you don’t wake up, will you lose all your abs? Let me help you check.”
After saying this, Ming Liuyi stretched out her sinful little hand, lifted his pajamas, and touched him without mercy. Indeed, his abdominal muscles were not as obvious as before.
Ming Liuyi studied the muscles carefully, but of course, her hands did not stop touching them. Yao Zizhou was the first man whose abdominal muscles she got to touch.
Yao Zizhou felt her movements and guessed that his abdominal muscles were losing their integrity, but it was not a huge concern for him. After all, he could still continue to exercise, even if his legs were paralyzed. As long as he could wake up, his muscles would also be restored.
Before Yao Zizhou’s sadness could show itself, his thoughts were interrupted by Ming Liuyi.
“I know you definitely can’t bear to lose the abs you’ve worked so hard to build, so don’t worry, I’ll touch it every day from now on, and you can give testimonials about how they once existed.” After she finished speaking, she touched him a few more times.
Yao Zizhou thought to himself, ‘...So my wife likes abdominal muscles.’
After a while, Ming Liuyi fell asleep.
Yao Zizhou began to count down in his heart, ‘3... 2... 1!’
In the next second, Ming Liuyi turned around and hugged him like a sloth. Her thighs were on his body, her arms were on his chest, her face was on his shoulder, and his neck was covered by her breaths. There was also her unique scent of spring water, which enveloped her entire body.
Yao Zizhou really wanted to open his eyes and look at this delicate girl.
He laughed in his heart. It seemed that the little finger that he had practiced with all his heart and soul was useless. She was already in his arms, holding her fingers was no longer important. Even so, Yao Zizhou still could not help but try.
His little finger trembled as he uncurled it, but his wife’s hand was still out of reach. This made him feel a little disappointed. In the end, he could only hold on to a little but of her pajamas. His heart still softened at this.
Yao Zizhou thought they were quite intimate with each other. His wife was able to show her true self to him without holding back. He thought, ‘This must be what being a married couple is like.’
Just like that, Yao Zizhou fell asleep with contentment.
The next morning, Miao Ruiming came over. At that time, Ming Liuyi was feeding Yao Zizhou some freshly made fruit purée, the kind that had spiritual water added to it.
Miao Ruiming was moved when he saw this. He thought that he might have overworked himself, why else would he think that a fruit purée meant for a vegetative patient looked so delicious?
Ming Liuyi saw his expression and thought that Miao Ruiming had not eaten breakfast again, so she quickly greeted him and offered to get him breakfast.
“I ate today,” Miao Ruiming explained awkwardly. “I’m just curious about what you’re feeding him.”
Ming Liuyi immediately understood. She said a few simple words about the food, while giving up her seat to the doctor.
Miao Ruiming began to take Yao Zizhou’s pulse, and his face slowly changed. Last time, Yao Zizhou’s pulse was weak, but today it had changed greatly and was much stronger. He had not expected there to be such a huge change with just one day of acupuncture treatment. He pondered for a while and asked with a frown, “Did you do anything else besides acupuncture yesterday?”
“I gave him a bath,” Ming Liuyi said.
Miao Ruiming nodded. “It seems that the effects of the acupuncture and bath are very good. His pulse has improved significantly. I estimate that the effect of using a medicine compress will be quite beneficial.”
After Miao Ruiming finished the acupuncture session, Xiao Fan prepared the medicinal compress and placed them on Yao Zizhou’s knees and eyes.
Miao Ruiming said to Ming Liuyi, “This temperature is just right for the knees, but it’s a little hot for the eyes. You’ll need to add a towel to layer it.”
Ming Liuyi nodded solemnly. “I’ll keep that in mind.”
Miao Ruiming nodded. Seeing that his time was almost up, he got ready to leave.
“Doctor Miao!” Ming Liuyi quickly stepped forward and asked, “Doctor Miao, do you have a slot open in your schedule?”
“There has been a change in my schedule. I’ll be in A City for the entire week, so I can come give an acupuncture session every morning,” Miao Ruiming said.
