Chapter 19: I Can Do It with One Hand

Lin Qingyue immediately chased after him, asking, “Did Si Xi’s just now pull your wound?”

The man in front of her stared at her seriously, his worry unconcealed in his eyes. She felt this care was heavy, yet tinged with sweetness.

“Mm.”

“I’ll change your dressing!” Saying this, Lin Qingyue pulled Lu Siyi towards the door.

Lu Siyi used his hand to pull her to his side. His eyes were deep, and he said in a low voice, “It’s nothing serious, I just don’t want the children to worry.”

“You also need to help me keep it from the children. They’re about to start school, and they can’t be distracted at this time.”

Lin Qingyue was surrounded by Lu Siyi’s aura. Her body felt hot, and she quickly distanced herself from him, putting on a serious face and saying, “This is the kitchen, the door isn’t locked, what if the children see us?”

Her cheeks were flushed, like a ripe peach, sweet and tempting.

Lu Siyi hadn’t thought about it that way, but her unintentional teasing immediately sparked something in him.

“I… I can do it with one hand.”

“Don’t even think about it!” Lin Qingyue said angrily, “What’s going on in your head all day?”

Since things had come to this, Lin Qingyue decided to have a serious talk with Lu Siyi. She got straight to the point.

“Regarding our marital life, I think it’s necessary to have a frank discussion with you.”

“We’re husband and wife, I don’t need to beat around the bush with you.”

Lu Siyi’s thin lips formed a straight line, feeling that this conversation wasn’t going to be very friendly to him.

“Can you not make it so frequent in the future? Excessive indulgence is bad for your health!” When Lin Qingyue said this, her whole face turned red, like a cooked shrimp.

Her skin was tinged with a light pink, making her look even more like a peach, even more tempting.

She lowered her voice, looking at Lu Siyi with an accusing gaze, as if she was truly wronged.

Lu Siyi swallowed, “You should also consider me, life in the army is very…plain.”

Not only was his life in the army plain, but his life before meeting Lin Qingyue was also plain.

Lin Qingyue put her hands on her hips, tilting her head to look at him with a helpless expression.

When she first met Lu Siyi, she thought he was an abstinent person. It turned out, he only looked like an abstinent type.

“Let’s make a deal,” she held up a finger and made a gesture for a number: “Once every half a month, how about that?”

“No, that’s too little.” Even when answering this question, Lu Siyi’s expression was serious, his eyes firm.

Too little?

Lin Qingyue was speechless. How could he be so righteous about it?

“…” Too little? She wondered, she didn’t know how other couples handled this matter.

For the sake of her slender waist, she thought once every half a month was the most reasonable.

“No! It’s once every half a month! During the day, I have three children to take care of, and I want to do some things myself, I must ensure sufficient energy.” Lin Qingyue reasoned with him.

Lu Siyi’s clear black and white eyes stared at her without blinking. He didn’t say anything, staring at Lin Qingyue until she felt uneasy.

She swallowed hard, roughly understanding the meaning behind his gaze.

If it was really only once every half a month, he might exhaust her.

“Or, once a week?” she said hesitantly.

Lu Siyi’s clear black and white eyes flickered, continuing to look at her with a calm expression.

Lin Qingyue’s mentality exploded: “No more than that!”

Any more than that, what was the point of this conversation?

Lu Siyi lowered his eyelids, hiding the expression in his eyes. He should consider his wife’s feelings, he couldn’t do things his way, his wife was the person he was going to spend his life with.

If they couldn’t understand and tolerate each other’s friction, they definitely couldn’t spend their lives together.

“Okay.” Lu Siyi compromised.

Seeing him finally agree, Lin Qingyue also breathed a sigh of relief.

She was really afraid that at night, Lu Siyi would ignore his wound and insist on having relations with her.

Lin Qingyue helped chop vegetables and prepare ingredients, Lu Siyi used one hand to stir-fry, the couple cooperated tacitly, and the meal was ready in a short while.

After dinner, Lin Qingyue quickly washed the three children.

After putting the three children to bed, she went back to the kitchen to wash the dishes. When she finished, it was almost nine o’clock in the evening. She took the gauze and medicine back to the room, Lu Siyi was sitting on the bed reading.

Seeing her come in, he put down his book and waited for Lin Qingyue to change his dressing.

Lin Qingyue was born in a prosperous era, a strong country, and had not experienced the cruelty of war.

As she unwrapped the gauze layer by layer, revealing the shocking wound, her eyes instantly turned red. The prosperity of later generations was fought for by their predecessors in the hail of bullets.

Lu Siyi was the first soldier she had come into close contact with, and her heart was filled with mixed emotions.

She carefully wiped the top layer of dead flesh with a cotton swab, applied new medicine, and then gently wrapped the gauze.

Lu Siyi looked at her serious and focused appearance, slightly lost in thought, especially the redness at the corners of her eyes… Had she cried for him?

She cared about his safety.

Like a drop of spring rain falling on dry land, awakening the vitality of the earth, his gaze towards Lin Qingyue became increasingly gentle.

Lin Qingyue put down the gauze and saw Lu Siyi staring at her blankly, the tenderness in his eyes almost overflowing.

This man, wouldn’t he have forgotten what he just agreed to?

Lin Qingyue felt a little uneasy.

“You can’t press on your injured hand, in case you’re restless while sleeping, the wound from the past few days will have been in vain.” She said, firmly tying Lu Siyi’s hands to the head of the bed, and finally tying a bow.

“Why tie both hands?” Only his left hand was injured.

“You know my sleeping habits, actually, I can do it with one hand…” Lu Siyi didn’t understand, why tie him up?

“Stop! You don’t need to say anymore, I understand, let’s wait until you’re healed before we talk about it, sleep!” Lin Qingyue didn’t give him a chance to explain, immediately turning off the lights and going to sleep.

“…” Lu Siyi seemed to guess why she reacted so violently.

He was very unhappy.

Lin Qingyue slept well and woke up early.

She specially prepared her specialty for breakfast for the children and Lu Siyi.

Egg and green onion pancakes.

Lu Yicheng excitedly surrounded the table, looking at the pancake that was golden brown on one side and charred on the other, he wilted: “Mom, why are you cooking? Where’s Dad?”

“Your dad hasn’t woken up yet!” After saying this, she immediately realized that Lu Siyi was still tied to the head of the bed by her.

She hurried towards the room, and after taking only two steps, she saw Lu Siyi, standing tall and straight, coming out ahead of her.

“How did you untie it?” Lin Qingyue’s mouth opened wide, almost able to swallow an egg.
