Love So Sweet

The man turned around and leaned over to kiss the top of her head. “Sorry. Did I wake you up?”

“Where are you going?”

A faint smile curled on his lips. “I should get ready for work.” He patted her head. “Go to sleep. It’s still early.”

“Oh.” Zhang Li Xue closed her eyes obediently. She listened to his footsteps and heard the bathroom door close.

After a brief second, Zhang Li Xue opened her eyes again. She stared at the ceiling and suddenly, her cheek turned red as the memory from last night appeared in her mind.

Zhang Li Xue pulled her blanket to cover her face. She hid underneath for a few minutes and came out again when she started to feel a little suffocated.

She looked down and noticed that she was dressed in a different pajama.

Last night, Bai Qi should have helped to change her clothes. But why doesn’t she notice anything?

.....

The sound of water from the bathroom stopped.

Zhang Li Xue turned to stare at the door for a long time.

After a while, the door swung open and Bai Qi stepped out with only a towel covering his lower half.

The scene in front of her was so fascinating that she could not bear to look away. Her hubby had such a good body, probably from working out and playing basketball. She especially liked touching the muscle on his arms.

Each time Bai Qi held her in his arms, she would feel safer.

Noticing that someone has been staring at him, Bai Qi walked over to the bed and smiled. “Have you had enough watching?” He watched her shake her head and chuckled. “Why aren’t you sleeping?”

“Didn’t you say that you’re going to work? I want to send you off.”

A faint smile curled on his lips. “You don’t have to do this.”

“But I want to.” Zhang Li Xue stared back at him with a serious look on her face. “I can always catch up with my sleep again after you leave.”

In the end, Bai Qi heaved a long sigh. “Alright then.”

Zhang Li Xue spread her arms. “Pull me up. I want to go to the bathroom and wash my face.”

Instead of pulling her up, Bai Qi lifted her in his arms.

Zhang Li Xue thought that he was going to put her in her wheelchair. However, she then realized that he was carrying her into the bathroom.

“What are you going to do?” Zhang Li Xue started to panic.

Then, she realized that Bai Qi had put her down and let her sit on the counter.

Bai Qi reached to take her toothbrush and squeezed some toothpaste. He looked at his wife again and spoke, “Helping you to wash up. Open up.”

“I can do it myself.” Zhang Li Xue grabbed the toothbrush from him and started to brush her teeth. But, having Bai Qi watch her made her feel a little awkward.

She spat the toothpaste and wiped her mouth. When she looked up again, Bai Qi was holding a towel to wipe her face.

“Then, what do you want to do next?” His gaze fell on the bottles on the shelf. “Wash your face?”

Zhang Li Xue smiled. “Are you going to serve me like this?”

“Uh-huh.”

“Won’t you be late for work?”

“There’s still time.”

“What should I do if I got used to this pampering?”

Bai Qi leaned over to peck at her lips. “Then, I will pamper you like this all my life.”

Zhang Li Xue giggled. She felt as if her heart was going to burst from sweetness. She linked her arms around his neck and rested her forehead against his. After a while, she pulled away and pointed to the face wash on the shelf.

Bai Qi listened to her instruction as he helped to wash her face. Then, he patted her face dry with the towel again. His movement was gentle as if he was handling a precious treasure in his hand.

Zhang Li Xue sat down quietly like a child as she enjoyed his service.

When everything was done, Bai Qi put his arms around her body again, wanting to lift her up. Just then, Zhang Li Xue tugged at his arms and spoke shyly, “I’m going to use the toilet.”

Bai Qi let out a chuckle. He carried her to the toilet and leaned over to kiss her. “Call me when you’re done. I’ll be waiting for you outside.”

“Oh.” Zhang Li Xue nodded obediently. She watched as Bai Qi left and closed the door behind him with a silly smile on her face. Then, she quickly go on her business and called out his name again when she was done.

When Bai Qi came back, he was already dressed in a black slack and the shirt she bought for him previously. As he carried her out, Zhang Li Xue was careful not to get his shirt wrinkled.

Zhang Li Xue had thought that this pampering had ended once she came out of the bathroom. But, she realized that he was going to help her change her clothes when she saw him bringing a new set over.

She put a hand on the front of her pajama and spoke, “I can do it myself.”

“What are you shy about? I already saw everything last night.” Bai Qi watched as his wife’s face turned redder and thought that it was interesting to tease her like this. “Come on. Let me help you get changed. Otherwise, I’ll be late for work.”

Zhang Li Xue hesitated. Worried that her husband was going to show up late at the hospital, she then loosened her grip on her pajama and let him unbutton her top.

The cold air blew.

Zhang Li Xue then realized that Bai Qi had stopped moving. She followed his gaze and saw that he was staring at her body with such intensity. On her body were some marks from their lovemaking last night.

Seeing them made her blush.

Zhang Li Xue raised her hand and block his eyes. “What are you staring at? Didn’t you say you’re going to be late for work?”

A helpless smile curled on his lips. He took a deep breath to calm down. Then, he helped his wife to change her clothes while suppressing some urge.
