Chapter 366: I Cry when I want to

Translator: CokeZero Editor: Rainystars

Lu Jiao listened to Xie Yunjin’s words and quickly looked up at him. Were they progressing too fast? They had just agreed to give each other a chance.

Lu Jiao decided to firmly express her position and not constantly dwell on wishful thinking.

However, before she could speak, Xie Yunjin smiled first, “Jiaojiao, why are you so serious? I was just teasing you.”

After saying that, he laughed even more joyfully. Lu Jiao snorted coldly, glared at him, left, and then ordered Lin Dong, “Prepare hot water immediately. I will personally bathe your master.”

What’s the big deal about bathing? Who’s afraid of who?

Inside the room, Xie Yunjin felt uneasy upon hearing Lu Jiao’s words. A rosy blush appeared on his distinct features, and when Lu Jiao walked in, he shyly avoided looking at her face.

To bathe him personally… just thinking about the scene made him not dare to imagine too much.

Lu Jiao calmly directed Lin Dong to bring a large wooden tub into the room, poured half a tub of hot water, and then naturally walked to the side of the bed, ready to help Xie Yunjin sit in the tub.

Xie Yunjin had an arrow wound on his shoulder, so as long as the water didn’t touch his shoulder, there would be no problem. It was nothing serious.

However, when he thought about Lu Jiao personally bathing him, he immediately surrendered.

“Jiaojiao, I’ll do it myself. You can go out.”

Lu Jiao looked at him with a smile that wasn’t really a smile and said, “Weren’t you teasing me? Who’s teasing who?”

Xie Yunjin immediately admitted his mistake, “It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have teased you.”

Satisfied, Lu Jiao hummed, “Alright, you wash yourself. I’ll go to the back and take a bath. I’ll come back later to chat with you.”

Upon hearing her words, Xie Yunjin’s eyes lit up with joy, “Okay, I’ll wait for you.”

Lu Jiao ignored him, turned around, and walked out. Lin Dong was standing outside the door, and before she left, Lu Jiao asked him to go in and assist Xie Yunjin in bathing. Then, she walked toward the back courtyard.

In the back courtyard, Lu Gui had already put the four little ones to sleep. When he saw Lu Jiao return, he suddenly burst into tears and reached out to hold her hand.

“Sister, you scared me.”

He had been busy taking care of the four little ones all day and had forgotten his own fear. Now, when he thought about it carefully, he realized that he was genuinely scared.

“Sister, let’s go home. This place is too frightening.”

Lu Jiao couldn’t help but twitch the corner of her mouth. Look at how scared she had made her little brother.

“It’s alright, I won’t get myself in danger anymore. Besides, you’re a man now. Don’t cry at the drop of a hat. What kind of image is that for someone who’s going to get married?”

Lu Gui wiped away his tears unhappily and said, “What does getting married have to do with me crying? Can’t someone who’s getting married cry? If I want to cry, I’ll cry.”

“Alright, alright, you can cry if you want.”

Lu Jiao exchanged a few words with him, told him to go back to sleep, and watched him walk to the front courtyard. Suddenly, she called out to him, smiling, “Lu Gui, I’ll be fine. Don’t worry.”

“Okay, remember what you promised me. Stay out of danger. If something happens to you, our mother will probably collapse.”

Lu Jiao nodded and watched Lu Gui go to the front courtyard.

After Lu Gui left, Feng Zhi, Lu An, and Lu Fu came out again and cried. Lu Jiao patiently comforted everyone. After all, they were all concerned about her, so she couldn’t get angry or lose her temper.

After taking a bath and changing into a fresh set of clothes, Lu Jiao went to the front courtyard to chat with Xie Yunjin. “You have an arrow wound, so I’ll stay by your side tonight in case you develop a fever.”

After saying this, Lu Jiao prepared to sleep on the soft couch in Xie Yunjin’s room, just like before. However, before she could lie down, Xie Yunjin spoke up, “Sleeping on the couch isn’t comfortable. You should sleep on the bed.”

Xie Yunjin stared at Lu Jiao intently as he said this. Ignoring him, Lu Jiao got ready to sleep on the couch, but Xie Yunjin started to struggle out of bed.

Hastily, Lu Jiao walked over and asked him, “What are you doing?”

“Since you don’t want to sleep with me, then I’ll sleep on the couch and you can sleep on the bed.”

Lu Jiao firmly disagreed, “There’s no way I would let an injured patient sleep on the couch while I sleep on the bed.”

“But how can I sleep on the bed when the person I like is sleeping on the couch?”

Xie Yunjin’s dark, star-like eyes gazed at Lu Jiao, seemingly suggesting that either she slept on the bed or they slept together.

Lu Jiao didn’t want to argue with him over such matters. She nodded and agreed to sleep together on the bed. However, before getting into bed, she reminded Xie Yunjin, “We’ll sleep on opposite sides. Don’t come over to my side.”

In truth, she was still a little dazed. They had just agreed to give each other a chance, but how did it escalate to the point of sleeping together on the bed? However, after a night of exhaustion and an entire day of chaos, she was simply too tired to bother with it anymore.

Moreover, Xie Yunjin was injured, and even if they slept on the same bed, what could he do? Lu Jiao still believed in his character.

Xie Yunjin immediately agreed obediently, “Don’t worry, I’ll only sleep on my side and won’t come over to your side.”

After Xie Yunjin finished speaking, he proactively moved toward the inner part of the bed and slept in a close-to-the-edge position. Seeing this, Lu Jiao didn’t say anything further and laid down on the bed to sleep.

On the bed, Xie Yunjin looked up at the canopy above with a delighted expression. Though he didn’t say a word, Lu Jiao, with her eyes closed, could sense that he was not asleep, and she knew he was happy. Because of his happiness, her mood inexplicably improved, and she felt relaxed.

“Go to sleep quickly.”

On the bed, Xie Yunjin quietly turned his head to glance at Lu Jiao, and then he slowly extended his hand, inch by inch, towards Lu Jiao’s hand.

Unaware of his actions, as she was indeed quite tired, Lu Jiao closed her eyes and prepared to sleep. Unexpectedly, the person beside her suddenly reached out and firmly held her hand.

Lu Jiao instinctively wanted to break free, but Xie Yunjin held her hand tightly.

He held her hand and pretended to be tired as he said, “I’m so tired, let’s sleep.”

Lu Jiao gave him an annoyed glare but noticed that he only held her hand and didn’t do anything else, so she let him be. Both of them closed their eyes and fell asleep.

In the middle of the night, Xie Yunjin developed a fever. Lu Jiao quickly got up to give him fever-reducing medicine and instructed Lin Dong to bring hot water. She wiped his body for him.

The man, in a dazed state, muttered a few words from time to time. Although Lu Jiao didn’t listen carefully, she still heard him call her name.

“Jiaojiao, Jiaojiao…”

At first, Lu Jiao thought he needed something, but later she realized he was just calling her name. Even though he was delirious with fever, Lu Jiao could still sense the joy in his voice when he called her name.

So, he truly likes her. Thinking of this possibility, Lu Jiao couldn’t help but feel happy. Soft light filled her eyes, and a smile slowly formed on her lips. Her movements became even gentler and more meticulous..
