Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Upon seeing Su Li in a daze, Su Jing smiled and placed the toy next to him. She shook her head, saying, “I’m sorry, Su Li. I’ve always known what you all like, but I never really paid attention to it before. I hope it’s not too late for me to make it up to you now.”
She knew that Su Shen loved fried glutinous rice, and she knew that Su Li wanted a toy. However, she had never acted on this knowledge before.
When Su Bing emerged, Su Jing handed him his gift. “I really don’t know what you like, Su Bing, so I got you a toy as well. It’s also a plush toy of a golden retriever.”
Su Bing glanced at Gu Zi, then accepted the toy, politely saying, “Thank you.”
His tone was formal and distant, but at least he accepted the gift. Su Jing thought that was good enough. She could see that since Gu Zi’s arrival, not only had her icy brother Su Shen changed, but even this gloomy Su Bing seemed to have warmed up a bit.
Su Jing then distributed the rest of the gifts she had brought. For Su Shen and Gu Zi, she had chosen thin woolen scarves. The patterns suggested they were a couple’s set, with Su Shen’s being blue-striped and Gu Zi’s being red-striped.
Gu Zi tried hers on, the bright red color making her face as radiant as a blooming flower. It was clear that Su Jing had put thought into choosing the gifts.
For Lele, she had chosen a doll. The doll had golden curls, wore a floral beret, and a small floral dress. Its eyes were big, its eyelashes long and curled. If you moved it, it would blink, and if you patted its belly, it would call out for its mom and dad and giggle. Lele was smitten with the doll.
In the evening, Gu Zi planned to roast crispy pork belly. She set up the clay oven, stoked a large fire, and placed the marinated pork belly inside to roast. The other dishes were taken care of by Su Jing, which allowed Gu Zi to relax a bit.
With the two brothers looking after Lele, she planned to go upstairs to wash her hair. Her hair was full of sand from playing, which was fun at the time but was now rather uncomfortable.
As she opened the door to enter, she bumped into Su Shen. “Su Shen,” she said, “I need to wash my hair. It’s full of sand.”
Gu Zi knew that Su Shen was tall, but for some reason, each time she found herself close to him, he seemed to tower over her even more. His handsome facial features exuded a strong masculine aura that left her mouth dry and her tongue parched, instinctively prompting her to moisten her own lips.
At this moment, she did just that, her tongue lightly grazing her upper lip, which surprisingly tasted a hint of sweetness.
Su Shen looked down at her, his arm wrapped around her waist. Her bright eyes and pearly white teeth, the fragrant scent emanating from her neck, and the unconscious act of her licking her lips made her appear as enticing as a playful fox. Her petal-like red lips were irresistible, making him yearn to lean in, to taste, to bite, to suck. He felt this urge, and in the next moment, he did just that.
The man closed his eyes, his hand holding the back of her neck, his nose rubbing against hers. Their breaths mingled lightly, and then he opened his mouth to kiss her lips, lingering on the spot where her tongue had just grazed, causing her to moan softly. After the kiss, Gu Zi felt as if all her energy had been drained, her legs weak.
Su Shen, still holding her waist, spoke in a doting tone, “I’ll wash your hair for you. You just tell me how to do it, and I’ll follow your instructions. I won’t let you exert yourself.”
Gu Zi nodded. It was he who had left her so drained, so it was only right that he should wash her hair. She would not refuse his offer.
During the hair wash, Gu Zi found herself extremely comfortable. She had just learned that the bathtub Su Shen had bought came with a lifting platform. All she had to do was raise the platform, lie on it, and enjoy someone else washing her hair.
When Su Shen applied the shampoo to her hair, Gu Zi began to instruct him verbally, “Curve your fingers slightly, use the tips of all ten fingers to start from the front hairline, moving over the top of the head towards the back hairline. Repeat this process thirty times, then use your fingers to press and relax the scalp starting from the forehead…”
Su Shen knew that this woman was meticulous. He followed her instructions, adjusting his strength attentively until her hair was thoroughly cleaned. Su Shen then said, “Can I wash your hair from now on?”
Washing her hair seemed to be a form of enjoyment for Su Shen. He didn’t mind doing it for her in the future. 𝔣𝔯𝖊𝔢𝖜𝔢𝔟𝖓𝖔𝔳𝔢𝖑.𝔠𝖔𝔪
Gu Zi felt his large hand drying her hair, the pressure neither too light nor too heavy, just right. She closed her eyes and enjoyed it comfortably, “If you have time, sure. After all, you are my husband. Is this the first time you’re washing a woman’s hair?”
