Chapter 23: She Loved Him to Death!

After Zhou Quansheng and the others had left, Su Luyun began using hot water to wipe down Zhou Changdong’s body.

Especially his back—she turned him over to lie on his stomach.

“You’ve been lying down all day. Gotta get the blood flowing, otherwise your body’s going to stiffen up.” Su Luyun said while wiping him down with a towel soaked in hot water.

But just wiping wasn’t enough.

Su Luyun placed her hands on him as well. Somewhat shy, she murmured: “Is… is this what a man’s body is like? It’s really so hard and firm.”

She touched him twice and felt too embarrassed to stop, but with a bit of playful arrogance, she muttered: “You’re my man. I’ll touch you however I want. Why should I be embarrassed?”

Then she righteously gave him a few more touches before finally pulling her hands back in satisfaction.

When she looked over at Zhou Changdong’s forehead again, sure enough, she saw his embarrassed yet sincere expression, and he generously said: 【Wife, if you want to touch, just touch. You can touch anywhere you like!】

Su Luyun laughed.

She had acted in so many dramas—how could she not know that physical intimacy was the key to quickly advancing a romantic relationship?

After she wiped his back and got his blood circulating, she had him return to his original position, changed the basin of water, and began wiping down the rest of his body.

Naturally, that included places that couldn’t be described.

She was really starting to get used to it now—not like the beginning when she would panic at everything.

She even took advantage of the wiping to secretly observe the structure of the male body. The more she looked, the more stunned she became.

Even though she hadn’t seen anyone else’s before, she wasn’t completely clueless—she had at least heard things.

And this man, even among other men, was clearly… clearly one of the exceptionally gifted ones.

If she really ended up being with him in the future, she was definitely in for a lot of suffering~

With a flushed face, she cleaned him thoroughly, and then began giving him a massage.

This little wife persona of hers—honestly, it was flawless. Calling her attentive in every way wasn’t an exaggeration at all!

That was Su Luyun’s approach to things!

Since she had already decided to portray a deeply devoted wife while he was in a coma, then she wouldn’t hesitate in the slightest. She would devote herself entirely to it.

If she was going to do something, she would either not do it at all, or she would do it perfectly.

She would never start something and then give up halfway, or decide it wasn’t worth it.

Once she made a decision, no matter the outcome, she would see it through to the end!

In her past life, Su Luyun didn’t rise to fame immediately upon debut. She started out as a minor supporting role.

She had experienced rolling eyes, cold shoulders, and unfair treatment in the entertainment industry.

She wasn’t some delicate greenhouse flower who couldn’t endure hardship.

If given the chance, she would love to make her mark in this golden era, but at the moment, she didn’t have that intention.

Because she was very aware of how chaotic and dangerous this era could be.

She wasn’t trying to boast, but a woman with her fate of being a cannon fodder character and such looks—if she ventured out alone, there was a high risk she’d attract disaster!

She truly couldn’t afford to gamble with her fate in this world.

So why go far when opportunity was right in front of her?

The future big shot was lying right before her eyes—why wouldn’t she cling to his thigh tightly?

If she served him like an emperor for these two or three months, when he woke up, he might serve her back like a queen!

Besides, she would only have to serve him for this short while—he could serve her for the rest of their lives!

Put that way, who was the real winner here?

So Su Luyun truly had no burden doing the duties of a little wife—because everything she was giving now, she believed would be repaid a thousandfold in the future.

So what was there to feel wronged about?

Yes, she was exactly that kind of calculating, scheming woman—never one to give without expecting something in return.

That simply wasn’t the path she would ever take.

Su Luyun was no mindless ox that only knew how to work; she understood the rules of how society operated.

Those who spoke well were more valued than those who merely did well.

But Su Luyun wasn’t the kind of person who just talked without action. She held herself to a standard—she had to do well and speak well!

She wanted her actions to be impeccable and her words to be just as open and admirable!

Sure enough, while giving Zhou Changdong a massage, she began saying:

“You bastard—after marrying me, you tossed me aside for three years. And now that you’re back, you expect me to serve tea, pour water, give you massages, rub your shoulders—I’m practically your maid. I’ve never done this kind of thing my whole life, but after marrying you, I do it all. And worst of all, I do it willingly. I’ve been wondering, maybe I owed you in my past life, you damned jinx.”

【Wife.】

The two characters on Zhou Changdong’s forehead truly radiated deep emotion.

Su Luyun wasn’t finished. She reached up to stroke his face.

“There’s no one else in this world who could get me, the proud and unruly Su Luyun, to serve like this—except you, you wretched man.”

“But I just want to.”

“I don’t even know why I want to.”

“Tell me—are you some kind of demon?”

“Did you cast a spell on me, is that why I willingly threw myself in like this and don’t want to come out?”

“…”

While she massaged him, she continued complaining, but the affection in her words was unmistakable.

Zhou Changdong said nothing more, but his thoughts were overflowing with pink bubbles of sweetness.

Su Luyun was very pleased. She casually pounded his legs a few more times, then finally stopped when the time felt about right.

Since dinner included a big bowl of Vermilion Bird Soup, Su Luyun made sure to help Zhou Changdong relieve himself again before bedtime.

She coaxed him gently with soft shushing sounds.

Zhou Changdong really had the feeling that his wife shared a deep emotional connection with him. Just when he felt the need, she seemed to sense it and came to help!

After taking care of that matter, Su Luyun was relieved—tonight, he wouldn’t wet the bed.

Plus, she had gotten up early that day, hadn’t had a nap because relatives had visited in the afternoon, and had been busy all day tending to Zhou Changdong—so she was truly exhausted.

After lying down, Su Luyun held his hand, interlocking their fingers, and before sleeping, she spoon-fed him a final bowl of chicken soup.

“With you at home, I really feel at peace.”

“How about we raise a dog to guard the house?”

“Tomorrow when Mom comes over, I’ll ask her to see if there’s a puppy we can adopt.”

“…”

She chattered on beside him, but soon enough, she fell asleep.

Zhou Changdong’s body didn’t respond, but his consciousness was completely clear, and deeply gentle:

【Wife, thank you for your hard work.】

He also felt ashamed.

His wife had taken care of him for the entire day.

But now, he couldn’t wake up, couldn’t take care of himself.

Thankfully, his wife didn’t despise or abandon him even a little.

He truly felt like he had no conscience.

He had left for three years. During that time, he had thrown himself wholeheartedly into his missions, and hadn’t even thought about the wife who had been waiting for him at home day and night.

He truly deserved death!

But he couldn’t die—he had to keep living. If anything happened to him, he couldn’t imagine how devastated his wife would be.

She loved him to death!

So he had to try hard to recover. He must get better.

Only then could he become the support she needed and give her the good life she deserved.

At that moment, Zhou Changdong was trying desperately to regain control of his body. Though it was all in vain, he didn’t stop trying!
