Sweet slice-of-life love story: Wife, Let's love again
Chapter 192 - 189: Very Normal

Chapter 192: Chapter 189: Very Normal

It’s not sickening at all.

So natural, so smooth.

True, how could it be sickening? He wished he could do it all again in the next life.

Qin Guanglin flicked the water with his foot, gently rubbing her ankle and playing quietly with his head lowered for a while before raising his head and saying, "That means I have to live a couple of years longer."

"You live to a hundred, and I’ll live to ninety-eight."

"Deal, it’s settled then." He smiled, knowing that talk was cheap, and living longer wasn’t up to them, but what did it matter?

That wasn’t important, the intentions of the two people were.

You’re two years older than me, so I’ll live two years less than you.

This is love.

Different from the Titanic type of ’you die, and I live on for both of us’ love, but just as sincere.

The bedroom fell quiet; He Fang didn’t make another peep, her half-closed eyes eventually shut, and she quietly lay on the bed hugging her pillow, while Qin Guanglin relaxed against the back of the chair, enjoying the tranquil and cozy night.

Busy all day just to truly enjoy this moment.

After some time, the water grew cooler, and seeing that twenty minutes had gone by, Qin Guanglin grabbed a towel to casually wipe himself off, put on slippers, and squatted beside the tub, lifting He Fang’s feet out to wipe them.

He held her little feet, and seeing no response from He Fang, he leaned forward and peeked, "Fallen asleep?"

He Fang shook her head slightly, too lazy to reply.

"Fell asleep so quickly..." Qin Guanglin didn’t notice her slight motion and sighed as he wrapped her little feet in the towel to gently massage them, while also feeling a bit sorry for her.

Could the training have been that exhausting?

He didn’t understand what teacher training involved, but figured it must have been sitting through lessons and undergoing some assessments... Educating must surely require much stricter standards.

Lost in thought while drying her off, Qin Guanglin was about to lift her up when his action suddenly paused, and he sneakily glanced at He Fang, tenderly stroking her foot.

Ooh—fun.

He Fang reflexively thought of getting up but then closed her eyes again, deciding to let him have his way this once, otherwise, he’d keep staring all the time.

Sensing Qin Guanglin holding her entire foot, the warmth of his palm in contact with her sent a shiver through her, compelling her to bite her lip to suppress the urge to kick him away.

Qin Guanglin was blissfully unaware, gently pressing the little foot in his hands, the smooth, delicate sensation making his eyes squint slightly, the corners of his mouth rising, contentment washing over him for having his wish fulfilled.

The more she denied him, the more he wanted to touch, and what was once normal for him became a peculiar fascination.

Fidgeting with the pillow, He Fang endured it for a while, but just as she furrowed her brows and was about to stop him, she felt his hands on her feet stop. Opening her eyes slightly, she clandestinely watched Qin Guanglin who hesitated for a moment, looked up at her, and then lowered his head as if he were a thief.

Her foot was touched gently,

"Hmph..."

He Fang let out a little hum from her nose, involuntarily sitting up in bed, her small face flushed red as she stared at Qin Guanglin.

"..."

"..."

"You’re awake?" Qin Guanglin turned his head uncomfortably, avoiding her gaze, and after a moment lowered his head to pick up the bucket, "I’ll go dump the water."

"You just secretly kissed my foot," He Fang said softly.

Qin Guanglin stiffened, instinctively denying, "I did not!"

"I saw it."

"..."

"If you like it, you can kiss it again."

"I do not like it!" Qin Guanglin shot back as if his tail had been stepped on, almost jumping up, "You saw wrong!"

"I’m not calling you a pervert..."

"I’m not a pervert to begin with, so why would I do something like that... hmph, it was just an accidental brush," he cut her off irritably, huffing and puffing as he carried the bucket away to dump the water.

What the hell, how did this happen?

Watching him awkwardly sit on the bed’s edge after emptying the water, He Fang couldn’t help but giggle secretly, "Actually... some strange habits can be understandable. Many people have various hobbies, like liking... um... anyway, it’s quite normal... hey, where are you going?"

"Go back to sleep."

"Won’t you stay?"

"..."

Qin Guanglin stood in the doorway, wrestling with his decision. To stay or not to stay?

"Come over here and lie down, then we’ll turn off the lights and sleep," He Fang rolled into the bed and then patted the spot next to her.

It used to be a treat only her daughter enjoyed when she was little; now, she was the one being pampered.

It really was like she was being raised as if she were his own daughter... He Fang felt a mix of sweetness and amusement.

"What are you doing?" Qin Guanglin was still questioning whether he was really a pervert or not, turning to the side to dodge.

"Now you’re even dodging me?" He Fang made a sound of mock offense as she moved closer and squeezed into his arms. "Hold me tight."

"..."

They held each other tightly in the quiet for a moment before Qin Guanglin started to explain, "That... just a kiss... It just happened while I was looking at you... That’s pretty normal, right?"

"Very normal."

He Fang nodded seriously, then sat up and pecked him on the lips. "Super normal, since you’re my boyfriend."

"Right, very normal." Qin Guanglin pinched some soft flesh, feeling a bit relieved. "Should we turn off the lights?"

"If there’s nothing else, then go ahead."

"Do you still want to use your phone? It’s bad for your eyes to use it in the dark. If you want to play, we can turn them off later."

"No more phone." He Fang revealed a sly smile. "I want to play with you."

"... What are you up to now?"

"..."

"You’re courting disaster, I’m warning you," Qin Guanglin issued a preemptive caution.

"My ’relative’ is here, what could possibly happen?" He Fang lifted her eyebrows proudly, not worried that he would do anything.

She just wanted to tease him, seeing how innocently silly he looked.

"Maybe you should play on your phone after all. I used my account to win you twenty thousand beans the other day. If you’re lucky, it should be enough for an hour of play."

Qin Guanglin felt a bit frustrated; it was awful to be able to see and touch but not have. And He Fang was deliberately provoking him.

"No thanks, I’ll save it to lose tomorrow." He Fang propped herself up with a gleeful smile, enjoying the sight of him trying to restrain himself.

"..."

"..."

"Stop moving around and let’s sleep."

"What does it have to do with you if I play with my boyfriend?"

He Fang watched his retreating back and snickered to herself. Did the little chick really think he could outwit her?

Naïve.

Qin Guanglin scampered off to the bathroom to take a cold shower and cool his head. When he returned and saw He Fang lying on the bed, smiling at him, he froze on the spot.

"Stop messing around, or we won’t be able to sleep."

"Okay, no more messing around." He Fang lifted the blanket and beckoned to him. "Come over here and sleep."

Qin Guanglin approached warily and lay down slowly. He Fang came over and held him without fidgeting, and only then did he relax. "Comrade He, men can be uncontrollable at times. I hope you understand this and stop flirting recklessly."

"Nope, it’s under my control."

"..."
