The Rough Hunter's Little Lucky Wife-Chapter 298 - 298 Daily Life

298 Daily Life

The wooden basin reached as high as Yue Jiaojiao’s calf.

Zhao Zhan reached out to test the temperature of the water in the basin, then found a small stool to sit on. He gently took off her shoes and socks, and placed the woman’s feet in the basin.

Yue Jiaojiao groaned in a daze.

The warm water didn’t reach her calves, and the temperature was just right to ease the swelling and numbness in her legs.

!!

Zhao Zhan waited until she was almost done soaking in the bath before placing a thick layer of soft cushion on her legs. Then, he took the woman’s feet and placed them on his own. With a slight force from his knuckles, he massaged Yue Jiaojiao’s lower legs to help ease her pain.

Otherwise, after the night had passed, the woman would probably feel as if her feet were stepping on needles when she walked the next day.

Yue Jiaojiao was massaged by Zhao Zhan until she felt very comfortable. When she finally recovered from the earlier moment, she felt that her legs were much better than when she had just arrived home.

“I’ve just filled the tub with water.” Zhao Zhan gently placed her foot down. “You should take a shower first. Come out for dinner after you’re done.”

“Alright,” she said.

Just as she was about to stand up, Zhao Zhan had already stretched his head in front of her. “You can hold onto me.”

Yue Jiaojiao subconsciously followed his words and actions, reaching out her arms to wrap around his neck.

Zhao Zhan carried her to the cubicle.

A charcoal basin had been placed in the compartment in advance, and the hot water was boiling. Once he entered, he felt that the room was filled with mist and steaming hot air.

Zhao Zhan placed her on a high stool at the side and reached out to untie her belt.

“Zhao Zhan?”

“Your legs are weak and the ground here is slippery. I’m worried that you won’t be able to exert enough strength in your legs and will knock yourself over.”

Her clothes fell off. Zhao Zhan was only wearing a clean undershirt as he carried Yue Jiaojiao and walked towards the bathtub.

He bent down and put the woman in the water, and his arms disappeared into the water.

“Zhao Zhan…”

Yue Jiaojiao wanted to shift her body to another position, but her entire body ached and she used the wrong amount of strength. Her hands swayed in the air a few times before she accurately grabbed Zhao Zhan’s shoulders.

Zhao Zhan’s arms hadn’t even pulled back.

He was swiftly pulled into the tub by Yue Jiaojiao.

With a knocking sound, the water in the bathtub splashed everywhere.

Zhao Zhan’s long legs had no place to rest. He rested them on the side of the bathtub with a stunned expression.

This was the bath bucket that was specially used by his lover…

He wanted to get up, but Yue Jiaojiao simply went over and wrapped her arms around his waist. “Zhao Zhan, you’re drenched from head to toe. Go out after you’ve washed up. Be careful not to catch a cold.”

“I…”

He was going to take a bath with his woman.

Zhao Zhan felt his throat go dry just by hearing this.

He was not sure if it was because of the hot air, but his cheeks and earlobes were so red that they looked like they were about to bleed. “I’ll watch over you outside so that I can add hot water to you at any time.”

“I saw you bring in the hot water and put it on the side.”

Zhao Zhan turned his head, his neck stiff.

His gaze could not help but be fixed on Yue Jiaojiao.

“Zhao Zhan. If you continue to splash around, the water will get cold and I’ll get sick.”

Hearing her words, Zhao Zhan didn’t dare to act rashly.

Fortunately, the oil lamp in the cubicle was dim.

He looked at the surface of the water the entire time.

Yue Jiaojiao did not notice his reaction.

In the beginning, in order to let her take a comfortable bath, Zhao Zhan had made a bath barrel for her, enough for her to lie flat in it. Later, he was afraid that she would not be able to come out from the bath barrel, so Zhao Zhan had specially made a small stool wrapped with a cotton cushion for her.

He prepared a few cotton pads, which he washed, dried, and changed back and forth every day.

Yue Jiaojiao didn’t have any worries in the tub at all. Zhao Zhan, who was sitting opposite her and sticking close to the tub’s wall, felt as if he was facing the greatest challenge in history.

It was because his self-control was almost non-existent in front of the woman.

Especially since it had been really hard on her today, Zhao Zhan really couldn’t bear to touch her.

Yue Jiaojiao was sprawled on Zhao Zhan’s neck. Her voice was as soft as she said, “Zhao Zhan, I’m so tired.”

Soaking in the water had drained all her strength.

Her cheeks were pink and moist, and beads of sweat rolled down her forehead and into the water.

Zhao Zhan subconsciously lowered his head to take a look. Then, he turned his head away, afraid that he would not be able to control himself. “Jiaojiao, let me carry you up, okay?”

Yue Jiaojiao nudged him and shook her head.

“No, I want to soak in it for a while longer.” She was so exhausted that she almost slided down. Zhao Zhan, turn around. “You can lie on me for a while longer, okay?”

“If you support me from behind, I won’t fall into the tub and choke on the water.”

The wave of sleepiness that she had just recovered swept over her. Yue Jiaojiao let out a small yawn and muttered, “Zhao Zhan, why is your back facing me?”

“Your back is so hard it’s terrifying.”

Zhao Zhan’s throat gulped. Beads of sweat rolled down his neck. However, he had never been able to reject Yue Jiaojiao’s requests…

He reached out and took a long handkerchief from outside. When he opened his mouth, he realized that his voice was already a little hoarse. “I’ll fold it and put it on you before you lie down. It’s softer this way.”

...

Yue Jiaojiao did not comment.

Zhao Zhan was flustered.

The woman’s patience was obviously thinning. Before he could tidy up, she unhappily pulled the handkerchief from his hand and threw it to the side, then directly lay down.

“Oh.”

Yue Jiaojiao finally realized what was going on and tried to run away in a panic.

Zhao Zhan pulled her back into his arms and turned her around with the help of the water.

Yue Jiaojiao’s mouth was slightly agape, and her pair of watery eyes didn’t even have the time to feel vexed when her hands and feet were caught.

She moaned twice. The strength of her hands in the water was like a cat’s scratch. 𝐟r𝒆ℯ𝘄𝑒𝒃𝚗𝒐𝘃e𝗹.c𝘰𝐦

Because of her moving, the water in the bathtub, which was almost full, gradually overflowed.

The oil lamp placed not far from the bath barrel trembled twice from the splashing water and went out.

The cubicle was pitch black.

...

There were only two patches of white that couldn’t be covered, and they were dazzled by the light shining in from a window above.

The water in the tub was no longer steaming.

With Yue Jiaojiao in his arms, Zhao Zhan stepped on the ground barefooted and wrapped his clean outer robe around her tightly from the clothes rack at the side before entering the bedroom.

The places that Zhao Zhan’s outer robe did not cover revealed patches of rose-colored kisses.

Yue Jiaojiao’s hair was wet from the water and stuck messily to her face.

He sat on the edge of the bed and wiped the water off her body with a clean handkerchief. Then, he reached out to feel the temperature of the blanket and fished out the warm hot water maid inside. He then placed Yue Jiaojiao under the blanket with appropriate movements.

“Be good, I’ll go to the kitchen and bring the dinner over.”

Zhao Zhan tucked the hair on the woman’s face behind her ears.

Yue Jiaojiao let out huff, her fingers feeling a little weak. She turned her back to him, not wanting to look at him, and mumbled, “THat was too rough…”

She would never admit that it was her carelessness and had forgotten that even an honest, gentleman like him had the wolf-like nature of a rough man.

She took the initiative to come to him, but she was directly swallowed.
