Chapter 23: She’s Head Over Heels for Him!

After Zhou Quansheng and the others left, Su Lüyun began to wipe Zhou Changdong’s body with warm water. She especially focused on his back, turning him over onto his stomach.

“You’ve been lying down all day, so I need to get your blood flowing, otherwise your body will stiffen up,” Su Lüyun said as she wiped him with a warm towel.

But simply wiping wasn’t enough. Su Lüyun also put her hand on him, a bit shyly, saying, “Is this… is this a man’s body? It’s really hard.”

After touching him twice, she felt embarrassed and stopped, but then she became a little petulant, huffing, “You’re my man, I can touch you however I want, why should I be embarrassed?” Then she righteously touched him a couple more times before finally feeling satisfied and withdrawing her hand. Looking at Zhou Changdong’s forehead, she indeed saw his embarrassment, but it was also very direct and generous: [Wife, you can touch me however you want, anywhere you want!]

Su Lüyun smiled. Having acted in so many plays, how could she not know that more physical contact was key to a rapidly progressing relationship between a man and a woman?

After wiping his back and getting his circulation going, she put him back in his original position and changed the water to wipe the rest of his body. This, naturally, included the indescribable parts. She was truly starting to get used to it now, not making a big fuss like she did at first. She even used the opportunity while wiping to secretly observe the male body’s structure, and the more she observed, the more startled she became.

Although she hadn’t seen anyone else’s, she wasn’t a complete novice who knew nothing; she had certainly heard things. This man, among other men, was truly… truly exceptionally gifted. With someone like him, if she truly lived with him in the future, she would definitely suffer greatly~

After tidying him up with a flushed face, Su Lüyun began to give him a massage. She wanted to solidify her image as a good little wife; saying she was thorough wouldn’t be an exaggeration! And this was Su Lüyun’s work ethic! Since she had already decided to establish the image of a devoted wife during his coma, there should be no hesitation; she would do it wholeheartedly.

Either don’t do something, or if you do it, do it perfectly! She would never give up halfway or decide it wasn’t worth it. Once decided, no matter the outcome, she would do it well!

In her previous life, Su Lüyun didn’t become instantly famous upon her debut; she started as a small supporting actress. She had experienced all sorts of disdain, cold shoulders, and unfair treatment in the entertainment industry. She wasn’t a hothouse flower who couldn’t endure any hardships. So, if she had the chance, she also wanted to make her mark in this era filled with opportunities, but at the moment, she didn’t have that idea. She was very clear about how chaotic this era was. It wasn’t her tooting her own horn, but sending a woman like her, with the fate of a cannon fodder and such a striking appearance, out to venture alone would greatly increase the chances of her getting into trouble! She truly couldn’t gamble with her fate in this world.

So why seek far and wide? The future big shot was right in front of her; why wouldn’t she cling tightly to him? She would serve him like an emperor for these two or three months, and when he woke up, she could make him serve her back like a empress! And while she served him for this short while, she could make him serve her for a lifetime! Comparing the two, who benefits more?

Therefore, Su Lüyun had no burden at all doing the work of a little wife. All her current efforts would be returned a thousandfold, ten thousandfold in the future. What was there to feel wronged about? Hmm, she was just such a calculating and manipulative woman who never made selfless contributions. That wasn’t the path she would take.

Su Lüyun wasn’t just a workhorse who only knew how to bury her head in tasks; she understood the rules of how society operated. Those who could speak well were often more successful than those who just worked hard. But Su Lüyun wasn’t the kind of person who only talked and didn’t work; she demanded of herself that she be good at both doing and speaking! Do things beautifully, and speak clearly!

So, while massaging Zhou Changdong, she said, “You scoundrel, you married me and then abandoned me for three years, and now you’re back, expecting me to serve you tea and water, and massage your shoulders. I’m almost your maid! I’ve never done this kind of work in my life, and I started doing it after marrying you. Yet, I do it without any complaints. I keep wondering if I owed you, my bane, in my last life?”

[Wife.]

The three words on Zhou Changdong’s forehead were truly overflowing with affection.

Su Lüyun wasn’t finished yet. She raised her hand and touched his face, “In this world, the only one who can make someone as pampered and bossy as me serve them like this is you, my bane.”

“But I’m just willing.”

“And I don’t know why I’m willing.”

“Tell me, do you have some kind of sorcery?”

“Did you cast a spell on me to make me willing to jump in like this?”

“…”

While massaging, she complained, but the affection in her words was evident. Zhou Changdong didn’t say anything more; it was all just pink bubbles of affection.

Su Lüyun was quite satisfied. She casually massaged his legs, stopping only when it was time. Because dinner was a large bowl of Vermilion Bird Soup, Su Lüyun still made sure to help Zhou Changdong relieve himself at the right time. She gently coaxed him with “shhh” sounds. Zhou Changdong truly felt a sense of telepathy with his wife; as soon as he had the slightest intention, his wife would try to help!

After helping him with that, Su Lüyun felt relieved; he wouldn’t wet the bed tonight. Plus, she had gotten up early today, hadn’t slept at noon because relatives visited, and had been busy serving Zhou Changdong for so long, so she was truly a bit tired.

---

After lying down, Su Lüyun held his hand, intertwining their fingers. Before sleeping, she poured him another bowl of chicken soup: “With you at home, I feel truly at peace.”

“Shall we get a dog to watch the house?”

“Tomorrow, when Mom comes, I’ll ask her to help us find a puppy to adopt.”

“…”

She babbled on to him, but soon after, she fell asleep. Zhou Changdong’s body didn’t react, but his consciousness was clear and incredibly gentle: [Wife, you’ve worked hard.]

He also felt very ashamed. His wife had served him all day. But he couldn’t wake up now and couldn’t be self-sufficient. Fortunately, his wife didn’t mind him at all. He also felt like a scoundrel. He had been gone for three years, during which he had truly dedicated himself wholeheartedly to his missions, never even thinking about the wife at home who longed for him day and night, waiting for his return! He truly deserved to die!

But he couldn’t die. He had to keep his life. If anything happened to him, he couldn’t imagine how despairing his wife would be! She was head over heels for him! So, he had to try hard to get better, he absolutely had to get better. Only then could he be his wife’s support and create a good life for her! So, Zhou Changdong tried to gain control of his body, and although it was futile, he was still trying!
