CHAPTER 287: CHAPTER 287 I FEEL VERY COMFORTABLE

Halfway through, Xie Yanchuan reached for something on the bedside table; unable to see, he turned on the bedside lamp by default.

By the time Xie Yanchuan had taken out the object, Xu Jinzhi spotted it at a glance. Somewhat surprised, she casually asked, "When did you buy this?"

He had even prepared the item beforehand; had Yanchuan been planning this all along?

Xie Yanchuan answered, "From before."

"From before?" Xu Jinzhi was somewhat bewildered, but the next moment, she understood what "from before" meant.

Xu Jinzhi was even more surprised, "Has it really not expired after all this time?"

"No," said Xie Yanchuan.

Xie Yanchuan hadn’t checked, but he remembered hearing some nonsensical talk, saying that these things have a shelf life of three to five years.

So Xie Yanchuan knew it wasn’t expired, but it had still been kept for quite some time; he’d make do with it tonight and replace it with a new one later.

Xu Jinzhi wanted to say something more, but the sudden satisfaction made it impossible for her to speak.

She clung to Xie Yanchuan’s hand with all her might, her gaze became somewhat blurred, and in the end, she could only rise and fall together with Yanchuan.

It wasn’t only Xu Jinzhi who was uncomfortable; Xie Yanchuan himself was also struggling, having not felt this way in a long time, and now he couldn’t control himself at all.

When it was over, Xie Yanchuan held the panting Xu Jinzhi, his expression slightly complicated in a place she couldn’t see.

After both had recuperated for a bit, Xu Jinzhi nudged Xie Yanchuan and said in a soft voice, "It feels sticky and uncomfortable."

Xie Yanchuan simply kissed Xu Jinzhi’s neck, but his silence led to a misunderstanding. Xu Jinzhi hurriedly asked, "What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Having just finished, Xie Yanchuan’s cheeks were already somewhat flushed, but now they turned even redder as he looked at Xu Jinzhi.

After a few seconds of silence, Xie Yanchuan said, "It’s been too long since I last did it, I got a bit carried away, it won’t happen again."

It took Xu Jinzhi a while to realize what Xie Yanchuan meant; as she leaned against his chest, seeing his slightly dejected look, she couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

Seeing Xu Jinzhi laugh so happily, Xie Yanchuan still felt a bit embarrassed, but he once again earnestly explained, "It’s normal for it to be like this the first time after a long while."

Worried that her unrestrained laughter might really hurt Xie Yanchuan’s feelings, Xu Jinzhi held back her laughter, feeling she couldn’t be so excessive.

Yet, thinking about what she had to say, Xu Jinzhi felt a bit embarrassed, but in the end, she sincerely said to Xie Yanchuan, "I felt very comfortable."

Xie Yanchuan responded with another kiss.

"Xie Yanchuan, everything in moderation," Xu Jinzhi reminded him, although the doctor said Xie Yanchuan had recovered very well, she couldn’t help but worry.

After all, the image of Xie Yanchuan lying motionless in bed had left a deep impression on her mind.

"I know," Xie Yanchuan mumbled in response, but he showed no sign of stopping.

The atmosphere in the bedroom grew increasingly intimate.

~

In the heat of June,

Xu Jinzhi went to the company in the morning, Tuantuan went to kindergarten, leaving only Xie Yanchuan and Sui Sui at home.

Sui Sui was now at the age where he could run around, causing chaos at home all the time.

Although they had already taken various safety precautions with the furniture at home, they always explained to Sui Sui where it was safe to play and where it wasn’t, and what might happen if they ran into something.

At the time, Sui Sui just stared blankly and nodded obediently in agreement.

But children are young, and even if they listen at the moment, they quickly forget and then continue to run around everywhere.

At noon, when Xie Yan came out after finishing cooking, holding a pot of soup in his hands, Sui Sui dashed over from somewhere, charging straight toward Xie Yan.

Xie Yan had no time to dodge, but fortunately, Sui Sui stopped herself in time, grabbing onto Xie Yan’s legs, and didn’t crash into him completely.

Xie Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief, but his heart continued to race; he simply couldn’t calm down when he thought of the scene that had just unfolded.

To make matters worse, the little guy didn’t sense any danger at all and even looked up at Xie Yan with a giggling laugh.

"Xu Yanxi!" Xie Yan called out with a stern face and a cold voice.

Sui Sui knew her name was "Xu Yanxi," and stared with a clueless expression when she heard her dad calling her.

Xie Yan handed the soup to a servant who had just rushed over and then he sat down with Sui Sui on the living room couch.

"Xu Yanxi, haven’t I told you that you can’t run around recklessly at home?" Xie Yan asked with a stern voice.

Sui Sui blinked her eyes, looking somewhat puzzled at Xie Yan.

Seeing that Sui Sui was not taking his words to heart, Xie Yan became even more stern in his speech.

This was probably the first time Sui Sui had ever heard someone speak to her in such a serious manner.

And although Xie Yan knew that his admonishments were futile at this moment, he still lectured Sui Sui seriously, hoping she would remember.

Sui Sui stared blankly at Xie Yan, at first truly bewildered and not understanding what had happened.

But children are good at reading expressions; they can quickly sense when something is wrong.

After realizing this, Sui Sui suddenly burst into loud crying.

While crying, Sui Sui reached out for Xie Yan to hold her. The way she cried so pitifully, Xie Yan felt his heart ache with just one look.

Yet he thought about what would have happened if the pot of soup had actually spilled on her.

Torn between not wanting to be soft-hearted and not bearing to hear Sui Sui’s cries, Xie Yan was conflicted.

In the end, Xie Yan couldn’t bear it and picked Sui Sui up.

"There, there, don’t cry," Xie Yan comforted her gently, then tried to continue reasoning with Sui Sui, "Daddy isn’t scolding you; he’s just worried you might get hurt."

But Sui Sui didn’t listen and continued to sob uncontrollably. Xie Yan had no other option but to stop his safety lecture.

While Xie Yan had yet to console Sui Sui, Xu Jinzhi, who had left work early, arrived home.

Xu Jinzhi could hear the crying even before entering the villa, which made him uneasy; neither of their children were crybabies.

If there was crying, it definitely meant something had happened.

So Xu Jinzhi quickened his pace into the villa and upon entering, saw Xie Yan on the couch holding the crying Sui Sui.

"What happened? What’s wrong?" Xu Jinzhi asked with urgency.

Xie Yan looked up and saw Xu Jinzhi, knowing that if she was back at this time, she must have left work early again, and he couldn’t help wanting to say something.
