After ONS: Trapped by the Cunning Professor-Chapter 448 - 449: How Could I Bear to Let My Wife Sleep on the Sofa
The whole process of wiping the body was nothing short of perfect.
Lou Xi suddenly thought of the marriage vows.
Do you wish to have this man as your husband and be united with him in matrimony? In sickness or health, for whatever reason, to love him, care for him, respect him, accept him, and stay faithful to him until the end of life?
Lou Xi said, I do.
Earlier, when she was with Qin Mobai, he granted her wealth and riches, and it always felt like hardships were far away from them.
But after this accident, as Lou Xi took care of the injured Qin Mobai, there was for the first time a feeling that they were a couple who would support each other and move forward together in life.
Many couples or partners can share in wealth, but very few can endure hardship together.
As Lou Xi focused on wiping Qin Mobai’s body, he also had the same feeling.
What he possessed was not just Lou Xi, but a companion to spend the rest of his life with.
"Lou Xi." Qin Mobai, dropping his earlier pretentious buffoonery, was particularly serious at this moment.
Lou Xi placed the towel in the basin and looked up at Qin Mobai; a thin layer of sweat covered her forehead.
"It’s nothing, just wanted to call you." 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶
Calling a woman who is willing to wipe his body when he is ill, calling a woman who is utterly meticulous with him, calling—his wife.
"Your body is all cleaned up, you should rest well today."
"Aren’t you planning to spend a pleasant evening with me?"
"The doctor sister will do rounds."
"The door can be locked."
"You’re injured."
Lou Xi refused Qin Mobai’s suggestion; his face darkened immediately. When he was about to use "I’ll have nightmares if you’re not sleeping beside me" as a reason, Lou Xi beat him to it.
"I’ll stay here, but you sleep on the bed, I’ll sleep on the sofa." Lou Xi knew Qin Mobai wouldn’t be able to control himself well when facing her, but fearing he’d have nightmares, she could only stay in this ward.
She was painstaking.
"How could I let my wife sleep on the sofa?"
"Then I’ll return to my ward."
"The sofa is fine too."
Lou Xi smiled slightly; she always had a way to deal with Qin Mobai.
After taking the medicine in the evening, Qin Mobai felt a bit tired. After Lou Xi wiped his body, drowsiness set in, and he soon fell asleep.
Lou Xi waited until he was asleep before grabbing a blanket and making do on the sofa for the night.
...
In the morning, Lou Xi woke up early, prepared to make breakfast for Qin Mobai, worried that if he ate poorly, he would recover slowly.
She tiptoed out of the room because Qin Mobai was still asleep, able to sleep so soundly, likely due to Lou Xi being in the same space.
After Lou Xi finished washing up and came out of the bathroom, she saw Shen Youran standing uneasily in the living room outside the ward, holding a thermos.
"I... came over to bring Mobai... bone broth, I simmered it overnight." Shen Youran was afraid that Lou Xi would drive her away, her face full of anxiety and nervousness.
Lou Xi glanced at Shen Youran and said, "He doesn’t eat greasy things in the morning."
Shen Youran lowered her head; she knew Lou Xi would still shut her out, and she was prepared for a prolonged battle.
Seeing the disappointment on Shen Youran’s face, Lou Xi felt a pang of sourness in her heart.
She quickly turned around to open the refrigerator, looking for what to make for Qin Mobai’s breakfast, but said, "Breakfast can’t be greasy, it can be saved for lunch."
Shen Youran was stunned for a moment, was Lou Xi... accepting her?
