Chapter 95: Chapter 95 CactusNight, cool as water. The wind blew in through the window, the curtains fluttering. Xie Jingchen lay on the bed, Su Jin sat beside him, flipping through the book. She felt her face was really thick-skinned, able to hand the book to Xie Jingchen without blushing or panting. "What do you think of this prescription?" she chuckled softly. Woman above, man below. Xie Jingchen glanced at it, turned to sleep on his side, leaving Su Jin with the back of his head. Su Jin laughed so hard her shoulders shook. Trying to hide? Today, you walked right into it. Su Jin, shaking her shoulders, found another page related to the side and showed it to him. Xie Jingchen, "...." This woman! "What do you want?" he asked through gritted teeth. Su Jin blinked her eyes, "I just wanted to tell you that unless you sleep on the ceiling, wherever you sleep you’ll find a corresponding prescription. Stop struggling." Xie Jingchen, "...!!!" Taking a deep breath, Xie Jingchen sat up. Su Jin looked at him, "What are you doing?" Xie Jingchen took the book from her hand, saying, "Studying the prescription." He casually flipped through it, and the wind from the pages blew Su Jin’s hair into disarray. The dim candlelight added a hint of ambiguity to the atmosphere. "With such a thick book, it would take at least half a month to study thoroughly," Xie Jingchen said. This time, it was Su Jin’s turn to blush all over. Her period would only protect her for five or six days. Once the protective period was over, wouldn’t she be a lamb waiting to be slaughtered? Su Jin snatched the book back, saying, "It’s late, time for bed." She quickly fell back onto the pillow, trying to use sleep to escape her embarrassment. Unfortunately— It didn’t work. It was even more embarrassing. A crashing sound was heard. She had hit her head on the bedboard. The noise was especially loud in the quiet night. Su Jin’s eyes sparkled in pain. Xie Jingchen reached out to massage her head, but with just two presses, Su Jin wanted to die. How strong is this guy? She wasn’t knocked out by the hit but might be by his massage. Su Jin decisively brushed off Xie Jingchen’s helping hand. Xie Jingchen looked at her, seeing the spark in her eyes, and felt exceptionally good. The better he felt, the worse Su Jin felt. She grabbed a pillow and turned to sleep on the other end. For the first time since they got married, they didn’t sleep head-to-head. But even though they slept separately, they woke the same way the next morning. Su Jin lay on Xie Jingchen’s chest, waking up earlier than usual due to stomach pain. She wanted to get up but was held back by his arm and couldn’t move. Using a little more force, she woke Xie Jingchen. "Why are you up so early?" he asked, half awake. Su Jin was embarrassed. She had planned to sleep at the foot of the bed, but had somehow half-crawled back overnight, how embarrassing. Just as she thought that, Xie Jingchen looked at her, "Why did you...?" "Your stinky feet drove me back," Su Jin said with a dissatisfied look. "..." Xie Jingchen’s mouth twitched. Whose feet stink? If he hadn’t been the one who brought her back, he would’ve believed her righteously delivered words. Xie Jingchen lifted his foot slightly. Su Jin lifted her hand to push his foot down, getting out of bed. Xie Jingchen looked at her, "Your stomach doesn’t hurt anymore?" "It’s not always hurting," Su Jin said. The wind outside was still blowing. Su Jin opened the window, and a gust blew in, prompting her to quickly close it tightly. The floor wasn’t wet, so it hadn’t rained last night. And it wasn’t that early either. Dark clouds were thick, it was definitely going to rain, just not sure when it would start. The rain started in the evening, on and off until the next afternoon. Xie Jingchen had two perfect herbal baths in the rain. The first time was a trap set by Su Jin. She had meant well, planning to give him the herbal bath once the rain stopped. She waited from breakfast till evening, thinking it wouldn’t rain, then started preparing Xie Jingchen’s herbal bath. Unluckily, as soon as the silver needles were inserted, large raindrops began to fall. The next morning, although it wasn’t raining, the sky was gray and overcast. Xie Jingchen, not wanting to be tricked by Su Jin again, decided to take the herbal bath early. Su Jin had gotten him once, so when he said early, it was early. This time was better. The rain didn’t start until halfway through the herbal bath. But it was even more frustrating. As soon as Xie Jingchen finished his herbal bath, the skies cleared completely. Xie Jingchen soaked in the bath, with a hidden guard holding an umbrella, preventing any chill. But the hidden guard suffered. Drenched twice, he barely held out with his robust physique the first time, but caught a glamorous cold the second time thanks to the Eldest Young Master’s mischief. Sneezes burst one after another. Su Jin was making medicine for the hidden guard in the corridor. The maid Xingxing had run off somewhere, not showing up for ages. Suddenly, a scream was heard. It sounded somewhat familiar. It seemed to be Prince NanAn’s voice? Su Jin put down her fan and walked towards the sound. After a while, bursts of laughter were heard. Chu Shun and the others were laughing, bending over backwards. Among them was a figure in blue, wasn’t it Xingxing? "What happened?" Su Jin went over and asked. Xingxing, holding a small hoe, pointed at the grimacing Prince NanAn, "He climbed over the wall, slipped, and sat right on the cactus I just planted." Prince NanAn, "...." He was so much in pain he questioned his very existence. This little maid still cared about her cactus. Prince NanAn’s noble bottom couldn’t compare to a few dead cacti? Seeing Prince NanAn’s frustrated expression, Su Jin wanted to laugh but couldn’t, holding it in painfully. She was more curious why Xingxing suddenly decided to plant cacti, since she hadn’t mentioned it before, and asked, "Why did you think of planting cacti?" "Madam said to plant some cacti at the base of the wall to prevent people from climbing over. I was bored, so I decided to plant them all along here," Xingxing said. As she spoke, she glanced at Prince NanAn. Madam was indeed the wisest. Cactus can fend off small people. Prince NanAn only felt pain in his behind, intensifying. More importantly, what was injured was the backside, and what was lost was face. The four people came in together, but he slipped, which was an embarrassment indeed. And with a group of friends laughing, couldn’t they hold it in? They were about to laugh themselves to death! Prince NanAn leaned half his body against Chu Shun, "Help me pull out the thorns, it really hurts, brother." Chu Shun, shaking from laughter, along with the Eldest Young Master of Duke Dingguo, helped him into Xie Jingchen’s bamboo house. Then, silence fell over the backyard. Cries of pain spread out, luckily the backcourt was far from the front, otherwise the maids would hear, causing trouble. Su Jin took some ointment, handed it to Xingxing, "Take this to Prince NanAn." Xingxing took the ointment and went out. She didn’t go inside, just called out, "My lady sent this ointment, who will take it?" Chu Shun took the ointment inside. Prince NanAn lay face down on a small couch, his face crumpled in pain. The Heir of Marquis Beining looked at half a thorn in his hand, silently looking at Xie Jingchen, "If I only get half out, what do we do?" Xie Jingchen, "...." Prince NanAn, "...!!!"
