After My Flash Marriage with the Sick Beauty, I Reached the Pinnacle of My Life - Chapter 83

Warm light shone as Wen Jiao did her rehabilitation training in the training room.

She was already able to stand up, but walking was several times harder than standing, so she could only move slowly while holding onto a support frame.

It was called walking, but the speed was barely a shuffle, and it consumed a great deal of her stamina.

After one session, she was typically drenched in sweat.

Yet, Wen Jiao embraced the struggle.

The maid entered the training room: “Miss, Miss Xia is back.”

Wen Jiao stopped and stood still, catching her breath.

Xia Shishi, upon hearing the message, was ecstatic and immediately responded that she would be there soon.

She had indeed returned just over three hours later.

If you included the time it took to return to school, roughly one-third of the day had been spent, yet Xia Shishi was still willing to come back.

Seeing Xia Shishi’s happy expression, the pain in Wen Jiao’s body seemed to lessen considerably.

She naturally embraced Xia Shishi, stroking her back with one hand, feeling that saying those words was worth it.

This feeling of having her willful request reciprocated was truly wonderful.

Even as a child, when Wen Jiao was weak with fever, she never asked her parents to come back or said anything similar.

Probably because she knew from a young age that her parents would not abandon their work for her.

As an adult, Wen Jiao was like her parents, focusing her energy on work. The difference was that she knew Xia Shishi, and she was willing to do many things for Xia Shishi.

Now, Xia Shishi felt the same way.

“Wife,” Xia Shishi snuggled in Wen Jiao’s arms and said again after a while, “you’re all sweaty.”

Although she didn’t mind, Wen Jiao’s clothes felt damp. The sweat soaked through her clothes, making Wen Jiao’s scent more pronounced.

Xia Shishi didn’t want to be a pervert who sniffed her wife’s sweaty clothes just yet, so she tactfully suggested:

Maybe take a shower first.

Wen Jiao raised an eyebrow: “You help me wash.”

Hmm… it’s still quite hot in September, easy to get a bit heated.

Xia Shishi squirmed: “You never let me help you wash before, why now? Are you trying to tempt me? Do you want me to get handsy with you?”

Wen Jiao: “We’re already married. What’s wrong with that?”

Xia Shishi: “…”

Xia Shishi frowned: “Tomorrow isn’t the weekend.”

Wen Jiao’s lips curled up, a smile spreading across her face.

“Will you come back every weekend from now on?”

“Absolutely!”

After making that promise, Wen Jiao started walking toward the bathroom with the help of the maid. Xia Shishi had a change of heart, realizing she shouldn’t give the opportunity to someone else, so she slipped into the bathroom as well.

The manor was large, and no one would constantly be passing by.

Water rushed, and even if Wen Jiao made Xia Shishi cry out in pleasure, no one would notice.

The two enjoyed a thorough bath. Stepping out of the bathroom, Xia Shishi’s limbs felt pleasantly numb and her spirit was refreshed.

Wen Jiao looked at the clock on the wall and reminded her: “You can still make it back now.”

Despite her legs still feeling weak, Xia Shishi insisted: “Wife, you sound like a heartbreaker.”

Who rushes someone out right after they finish without saying a few sweet words?

Couldn’t she be a little more subtle?

Wen Jiao spoke softly to appease her: “Why don’t you sleep for a little while, and then I’ll have the driver take you back.”

Unfortunately, Xia Shishi had an early class tomorrow morning.

If she woke up and then drove back, she definitely wouldn’t make it in time. But if she only slept for a while… waking up at three or four in the morning would make her crankier than a ghost.

It would be better to get in the car first, catch up on sleep during the drive, and then lie down and continue sleeping once she got out of the car.

However, Xia Shishi was truly reluctant to leave Wen Jiao so early. She reached out and held onto Wen Jiao. If anyone was willful, she was the one.

“You come back with me.”

She wanted to lure her back to the apartment.

To have Wen Jiao stay with her until it was time for class.

“Do you have a check-up tomorrow?”

“No.”

Wen Jiao’s body had begun to stabilize and wasn’t undergoing any major changes, so she no longer needed daily physical examinations. This also allowed Wen Jiao to have extra time to rest.

The only thing that couldn’t be skipped was her daily training.

Xia Shishi pushed her luck: “Then move into the apartment with me, and I’ll come back to train with you after class. We can come back when you need a check-up, or just go to a nearby hospital for the examination.”

“I really want to see you every day. Just the weekend isn’t enough, otherwise, I won’t be able to stop thinking about you during class.”

Her possessiveness was driving her crazy.

If she couldn’t see Wen Jiao after being separated for a few hours, Xia Shishi would feel uneasy.

This kind of emotion was simply maddening.

That was why Xia Shishi rushed back the moment she got the call.

At that moment, she had no rationality; she couldn’t think of anything else but seeing Wen Jiao.

Now that the two had met and had been intimate, she remembered her early class tomorrow.

Xia Shishi was frustrated. Why couldn’t she just keep Wen Jiao with her all the time? Xia Shishi’s eyes were moist, and she looked pitifully at Wen Jiao: “Please, okay?”

When only one person in a relationship is a ‘love-drunk’ idiot, they might be called foolish.

When both people are, it’s considered a mutual disease of devotion.

Coincidentally, Wen Jiao was also “sick.”

Her condition was deeper than Xia Shishi’s, to the point where she had people placed at Xia Shishi’s school to keep an eye on her.

Perhaps Xia Shishi suspected something, who knows? In any case, Wen Jiao pinched Xia Shishi’s flushed ear, finding the request quite interesting.

Wen Jiao couldn’t stop Xia Shishi from becoming better; otherwise, she would have long ago made Xia Shishi stay at home to be her little canary.

Fortunately, Wen Jiao wasn’t that insane yet.

She looked into Xia Shishi’s eyes—such a cute and clever person.

How could she bear to refuse?

Wen Jiao said clearly: “Xia Shishi, the two of us are too dangerous right now.”

As for what the danger was, wasn’t it obvious?

Neither of them could leave the other. They were twisted together like one rope. If the affection could last forever, their time together would, of course, always be sweet. But if one person wanted to leave, the consequence for the one left behind would be maddening.

“I always wanted to give you more space.” It was as if the person who asked Xia Shishi to come back wasn’t her.

“Are you sure you want me to move over?”

She could do as Xia Shishi suggested: return to the manor on time or go to a nearby hospital for a check-up.

She could wait in the apartment for Xia Shishi to finish class, and then they could train together and do other things.

But what if Xia Shishi got tired of her?

Wen Jiao’s eyes were deep as she seriously observed every expression of Xia Shishi’s. She would do her best to keep Xia Shishi satisfied and dependent on her, but that didn’t include them being completely inseparable.

For a free person, Xia Shishi would need time to breathe.

What Wen Jiao didn’t expect was that Xia Shishi would willingly stay.

Xia Shishi had been by Wen Jiao’s side for several years. How could she possibly get tired? She nodded forcefully: “If I told you my space has already been completely filled by you, you definitely wouldn’t believe me. But I promise, I am willing to stay with you forever.”

“Alright, I’ll move over.”

Moving Day

Moving was not a hassle for these two.

Daily necessities could be bought nearby, and the servants would naturally organize and load the important items into the car. If one trip wasn’t enough, someone would bring the rest the next day.

All they needed was for the people to get into the car.

Grandpa Wen was stunned; his granddaughter, a grown woman, was being whisked away just like that?

He had only been playing games downstairs and hadn’t greeted Xia Shishi when he saw her rush upstairs upon returning.

If he had known this would happen, he would have stopped Xia Shishi and asked her exactly what was going on.

The manor was large and beautifully landscaped—a good place for retirement, quiet and peaceful.

Even in the best place, staying alone for too long without anyone to talk to could get boring. Grandpa Wen wasn’t having it: “I’m going too.”

Xia Shishi sometimes thought Grandpa Wen had a temperament quite similar to hers. She laughed wryly: “Grandpa, mine is a two-person apartment. You might find it cramped if you move in.”

Most importantly, it would disturb the two of them.

They hadn’t even gone on the honeymoon they postponed for the start of the semester, so they certainly couldn’t have someone interrupt them now.

Grandpa Wen didn’t react immediately when he heard “two-person apartment,” but after a while, he understood and grumbled: “Why did you buy such a small place?”

Xia Shishi smiled: “Grandpa, that place wasn’t bought, it’s rented~”

Grandpa Wen: “…”

She only needed a place near the school. There was no need to specifically buy an apartment; who would still live there after graduating from university?

So, Xia Shishi only rented it for four years. And since she thought she wouldn’t be in a relationship during university, the place she rented wasn’t very big. It was called a two-person apartment, but it was essentially a studio.

Get her over there first, then worry about the details.

If she took Grandpa Wen too, the truth would be exposed.

“Since it’s rented, then rent another one.”

Grandpa Wen insisted on going: “Since it’s near the university, there might be many young people. Maybe I, an old man, can find a few young friends to play games with.”

This was true, and skilled university students were everywhere, certainly with much better technique than Xia Shishi’s.

The car could seat three people besides the driver. The driver didn’t dare refuse Grandpa Wen, who ended up squeezing in.

Afraid that Wen Jiao would also persuade him to get out, Grandpa Wen didn’t even bring his game console, just asking someone to deliver it tomorrow. Then, he sat there, firm as a rock.

Wen Jiao: “Start driving.”

Xia Shishi leaned over and whispered: “Then where will Grandpa sleep tonight?”

Wen Jiao: “We’ll find a hotel nearby.”

This was also a simple matter to solve; keeping Grandpa Wen happy was the most important thing.

Xia Shishi remembered how good Grandpa Wen was to Wen Jiao, and she didn’t want to disappoint or upset him, so she agreed.

Besides, with Grandpa Wen moving over, when she talked about this with Father Xia and Mother Xia later, they wouldn’t blame Xia Shishi for being too willful and putting Wen Jiao in a difficult position. She could just say they went over to play together.

Seeing that the two people in the back seat hadn’t said anything, and Grandpa Wen in the passenger seat was pretending to sleep, the driver wiped a cold sweat, breathed a sigh of relief, and drove toward Xia Shishi’s university.

Three hours later.

The area outside the university became livelier as the night went on. Everyone gathered outside to play, with young people everywhere.

The car had been driving for a while, and Grandpa Wen already knew he wouldn’t be persuaded to go back, so he was very energetic. Seeing the young people eating barbecue, he wanted to get out and join them.

Wen Jiao had to go to bed early, and eating barbecue would be bad for her health, so she couldn’t accompany Grandpa Wen.

Xia Shishi was worried about Grandpa Wen and planned to take him to a hotel first, and then go eat barbecue if there was enough time.

As Xia Shishi got out of the car, Wen Jiao said plainly: “It’s not too late to have the driver send Grandpa back now.”
