After a Flash Marriage with a Professor - Chapter 60
Chapter 60: The Sickness
“Wife, what did you just say?”
“Say it again, please. I didn’t hear clearly.”
Shen Junlan was stunned for a moment, doubting whether she had hallucinated. Her naughty words were not meant to take advantage of her little rabbit wife or break her psychological defense. She just wanted her little rabbit wife to quickly escape from her sorrowful mood.
She didn’t expect her timid and shy little rabbit wife to give her such a brave answer, and a very significant promise at that.
Her heart instantly amassed tremendous energy, threatening to burst.
“Wife.”
Shen Junlan hugged Ming Shu tightly, her lips close to Ming Shu’s delicate ear, rubbing gently. “Wife, say it again.”
“Wife~”
Ming Shu was so flustered by Professor Shen’s excessive intimacy that she hunched and recoiled her shoulders to protect her sensitive neck and ears, keeping her head down.
“Wife, save me, and save yourself too.” Shen Junlan said, gently pinching Ming Shu’s slender waist.
Ming Shu couldn’t take it anymore and surrendered. “I said, Professor Shen, I will satisfy you when we get back home.”
“Definitely?”
“Definitely.”
Only then did Shen Junlan let go of Ming Shu. The two of them sat on the bed, quietly embracing for a long time.
“Wife.”
“Mhm.”
“Wife.”
“Mhm?”
“Nothing, I just think it’s so good to be able to call you my wife. These two words are so lovely to hear.”
Ming Shu shyly bit her lip and also leaned close to Professor Shen’s ear, softly calling out, “Wife.”
“Mhm.” Shen Junlan responded.
Ming Shu’s voice was too soft and too sweet. Shen Junlan felt every cell in her body awaken, led by her brain to indulge in fantasies. She really wanted to punish her little rabbit wife on the spot, but she loved the little rabbit. She could endure it. She could wait until they returned home and until the little rabbit fulfilled her promise.
“What’s in that metal box?” Ming Shu leaned against Professor Shen’s shoulder and accidentally saw a tightly sealed metal box placed on the bedside table, which piqued her curiosity.
“It’s a gift for my wife.”
“A gift? For me?” Ming Shu was greatly surprised.
“Mhm. I prepared it as soon as I arrived in America.”
“Can I look at it?”
“Yes.”
With Professor Shen’s permission, Ming Shu immediately reached out to grab it, but it was too far away for her to reach.
“Professor Shen, could you let go of me first?” Ming Shu asked.
“I’ll get it for you.”
“How?”
Before Ming Shu finished speaking, she was abruptly pulled down from behind, falling onto Professor Shen.
“This way, you can reach it.”
Shen Junlan embraced Ming Shu and leaned back. She reached out with one hand and easily grabbed the box.
“Wife, here you go.”
“Thank you.” Ming Shu habitually said thank you. After thanking her, she took the metal box from Professor Shen’s hand, opened it with some effort, and her eyes widened in shock when she saw what was inside.
“How did Professor Shen know I like collecting leaves?”
“I asked Lingyu.”
It was a weighty metal box, filled with different kinds of leaves, varying in shape and color: lush green and moist, or withered yellow and fragile; some with holes, some without; whole, or fragmented.
“Do you like it?” Shen Junlan asked Ming Shu with a smile. From this angle, she could see every one of Ming Shu’s expressions clearly and completely.
“I love it so much!”
Ming Shu’s joy was palpable. Only then did Shen Junlan truly feel relieved, believing that these leaves would successfully lift Ming Shu’s previous gloom.
Ming Shu chuckled continuously while holding the leaves. These leaves, which were usually overlooked and stepped on in the street, were the best gift to her. In her mind, she could even vividly picture Professor Shen bending down to pick up the leaves, Professor Shen, dressed formally, bending down for her.
Bending down for her. Wasn’t Professor Shen’s choice of her as a marriage partner also a kind of bending down? Ming Shu’s heart began to surge, beating fiercely.
This powerful emotion, almost unbearable for her, spurred her into action.
Gently putting down the metal box of leaves, Ming Shu leaned over Professor Shen, cupped Professor Shen’s face with both hands, closed her eyes, and kissed Professor Shen on the lips.
It was a kiss of mutual understanding, their lips and tongues intertwining. Ming Shu tasted her heart’s desire, and Shen Junlan tasted sweetness.
When they parted, Ming Shu pulled away, but Shen Junlan still tilted her head, chasing her for another kiss.
“Okay, the reward is over.”
Ming Shu was like a teacher with a clear system of rewards and punishments. Shen Junlan willingly played the role of the student, licking her own lips with lingering desire and saying, “Wife, can the next reward be a little longer?”
“Professor Shen needs to learn to exercise restraint.”
Ming Shu laughed and got up, jumping off the bed while Professor Shen was still savoring the aftertaste.
Shen Junlan sat on the bed, chuckling wryly. She collected the banknotes scattered on the bed back into the red envelope, secretly noting that she needed to prepare a much bigger red envelope for Professor Zhang’s future wedding, and then, after covering the metal box, she got off the bed.
Ming Shu changed her sanitary napkin in the bathroom again. Actually, she was mostly clean, but if she were to do something with Professor Shen, it might be different, so she still needed to be careful.
She opened the door and returned to the room, only to be startled by Professor Shen standing right in front of her.
“Wife, don’t look at me like that. I’m not so perverted as to resort to peeping.”
“I… I know. I wasn’t thinking that.”
“Really? To reassure you, I still need to make it clear. I would only persuade my wife to take a bath with me, but I wouldn’t peep.”
“I believe you. But why is Professor Shen standing at the bathroom door?” Ming Shu asked curiously. She hadn’t seen Professor Shen urgently needing to use the restroom, so she ruled out that reason.
“I wanted to be the first thing my wife saw.”
Ming Shu never expected this to be the reason and was momentarily speechless, a mix of sweetness, delight, and shyness intertwining.
“I succeeded.”
“Mhm.”
“Is there a reward?”
Professor Shen truly seemed like an insatiable wolf at this moment. Ming Shu smiled and turned her head away, deliberately avoiding looking at Professor Shen, and shook her head, saying, “No.”
“Why?”
“No reason.” Ming Shu finished speaking and ran, trying to escape in Professor Shen’s room, running around the table. Professor Shen couldn’t catch her.
The two of them played like childish children in the room until they were both breathless. Ming Shu called for a time-out.
Shen Junlan nodded, agreeing on the surface. After getting close to Ming Shu, she wrapped her in her arms and kissed her fiercely.
After kissing her, she had to say, “Wife, you’re so delicious.”
She intentionally teased Ming Shu until she was too shy to speak.
In the evening, Professor Zhang and the students returned to the hotel after completing their afternoon tasks. Everyone gathered for dinner again, and the atmosphere was very harmonious and pleasant.
“Can Shiniang drink alcohol?” a girl asked.
“She can have a little.” The girl immediately came over and poured wine for Ming Shu. Shen Junlan watched, and just as it reached the midpoint, Shen Junlan said, “That’s enough. Your Shiniang doesn’t have a high tolerance for alcohol and shouldn’t drink too much.”
The girl obediently stopped pouring and then asked Professor Shen if she wanted some. Shen Junlan smiled and shook her head. “I have to drive your Shiniang to work tomorrow morning, so I won’t drink.”
The students then poured wine for Professor Zhang. The two professors didn’t forbid the students from drinking the low-alcohol wine. They were all adults, and it was better for them to drink safely under their supervision than to sneak off and indulge. This kind of management was considered flexible.
Ming Shu drank half a glass of wine at the table. She was slightly tipsy, her cheeks flushed, and her beautiful eyes fluttered, more intoxicating than the wine itself.
Lin Qiming had drunk a little too much. His gaze was undisguised as he stared at Ming Shu, and he momentarily forgot to mind his words.
“She’s really beautiful.”
The student sitting next to him immediately covered Lin Qiming’s mouth. Lin Qiming bit his hand. The student held a grudge and recorded it on his phone, saying he would show it to Lin Qiming when he sobered up tomorrow.
Ming Shu rested her elbow on the table, cupping her face and smiling. Shen Junlan, meanwhile, was gazing at Ming Shu with a smile.
Shen Junlan was already counting down in her heart. Their flight was tomorrow afternoon, and they would be home the day after tomorrow. At the earliest, she would finally completely have her little rabbit wife the day after tomorrow.
After dinner, everyone returned to their rooms. Shen Junlan wrapped her arm around Ming Shu’s waist and led her back to her room.
Ming Shu was feeling a little dizzy from the alcohol and wanted to collapse onto the pristine white bed. Shen Junlan scooped Ming Shu up. “Wife, take a shower before you sleep.”
“Dizzy.”
“Then let’s take a bath together? I’ll help you.”
“Mhm.”
Shen Junlan: “…”
Shen Junlan was extremely excited inside. She had only mentioned it casually, but her little rabbit wife had actually agreed. It seemed she was truly confused by the alcohol.
The little rabbit’s tolerance for alcohol was truly not good.
Shen Junlan sighed internally, yet at the same time felt a little fortunate. She liked her drunk little rabbit wife.
Adhering to the principle of respecting her little rabbit wife’s opinion, Shen Junlan asked again, and received another affirmative answer.
“Shower, I… love showering, help… me.”
“…”
After calming herself down, Shen Junlan half-carried, half-supported Ming Shu into the bathroom. Ming Shu seemed to have some awareness, knowing she needed to shower, and tried to take off her clothes herself, but she couldn’t exert any strength and ended up getting tangled.
What a cute, clumsy, drunk little rabbit wife.
Shen Junlan personally helped her. The drunk Ming Shu was as sensitive as she was when sober, only she wasn’t as intensely conscious of avoiding Shen Junlan as when she was sober.
“Wife.” Shen Junlan’s hands trembled as well. The subtle touch of her skin against Ming Shu’s was intoxicating.
How could she resist stealing a moment of passion?
Naked, Ming Shu leaned obediently in her arms. Shen Junlan personally rolled up the used sanitary napkin and put it in the trash bin. She also freed herself, turned on the shower, and held the showerhead to rinse them.
The moment the hot water hit Ming Shu’s skin, the tightly closed Ming Shu showed a satisfied smile. Shen Junlan’s heartstrings were plucked, and she couldn’t stop swallowing a few times.
At this moment, there was nothing between them.
“So beautiful,” she couldn’t help but sigh softly.
This was simply a work of art.
She was stunned for a few seconds.
Shen Junlan shook her head. No.
Shen Junlan reigned herself in.
Ming Shu gradually regained some consciousness. She hadn’t drunk much, and the hazy tipsiness had mostly dissipated. She felt very warm.
She remained silent. At this moment, she felt very comfortable and at ease, like a pampered young lady in ancient times, being served by a maid during her bath. Ming Shu wasn’t used to it but forced herself to adapt. She didn’t want Professor Shen to discover that she was sober.
Her ears were filled with the sound of running water, but clearer than that was the big bad wolf’s labored breathing.
Being in this situation was like walking a tightrope on a cliff. The little rabbit thought the big bad wolf was having a relapse.
The little rabbit suddenly became flustered, but she quickly realized that the agreed-upon time wasn’t too far off. If the big bad wolf was truly suffering, she could relax the deadline.
The little rabbit recalled that the big bad wolf had softened the first time she offered herself up.
Now was a good opportunity for a sneak attack, and the little rabbit was willing to give the big bad wolf a chance, so she chose to continue pretending to be unconscious.
However, the big bad wolf still retracted her claws the moment she was about to strike.
The big bad wolf suddenly remembered that she had made a promise with the little rabbit, and the little rabbit had already given her a commitment.
How could she sneak attack? The big bad wolf chose to stop before it was too late.
Even though she was itching with desire, feeling like ten thousand ants were crawling on her heart, the big bad wolf retreated.
The little rabbit was afraid that the big bad wolf would genuinely suffer, and bravely grabbed the wolf’s paw.
