Married to Officer, Pregnant Specialist becomes the Winner!-Chapter 57: Brother’s Waist, a Deadly Blade

Sheng Zexi was stunned for a moment before he reacted, then he invited Gu Jia Ning to sit on a smooth round stone by the fire.

He took the towel from Gu Jia Ning’s hands and gently dried her wet hair.

"It’s cold, it’s best to dry your hair by the fire before we leave here, otherwise it’s easy to get sick."

"Hmm."

So, it turns out he started the fire to dry her hair, and now he’s helping her dry it. Sitting by the fire wrapped in a military coat, Gu Jia Ning felt as if her heart was dancing with the leaping flames, and it was warm.

She could feel Sheng Zexi’s actions were very gentle, as if he was afraid of hurting her.

In her previous life, Wen Zhqing had never treated her so considerately.

Perhaps this is the difference between love and use.

Only when you truly love someone and keep them in your heart will you treat them with care.

Of course, another reason is that Sheng Zexi is inherently a good person.

Sheng Zexi, you treat me so well, my heart isn’t made of stone, I might slowly start to like you.

Gu Jia Ning sat there, arms wrapped around her knees, her chin resting on her arms. Behind her was the tall man, half-squatting as he gently wiped her hair. The flickering firelight reflected the happy face of Gu Jia Ning.

Sheng Zexi wasn’t thinking much. He was just carefully helping her dry, but being so close, he could smell the fragrant scent from the little woman’s hair.

Mm, she’s a sweet-smelling little wife.

Before, Sheng Zexi had smelled fragrance on other women who deliberately got close to him, but somehow, he found those scents very pungent and hard to enjoy.

In any case, he couldn’t stand even a little bit.

But the fragrance on Gu Jia Ning had none of that pungency. It wasn’t faint; it had a hint of intensity. Once he got close, it felt like it would envelop him completely.

However, Sheng Zexi didn’t find it unpleasant; on the contrary, he was somewhat infatuated.

As he wiped, he couldn’t help but get closer, and when he realized it, he was nearly close to his petite wife’s fair neck.

Sheng Zexi gave a start, quickly composed himself, and continued to dry her hair.

"Alright, it’s almost dry. I can handle the rest myself. Go wash up in the hot spring; it’s getting late, and we should head back soon." Gu Jia Ning remembered Sheng Zexi had said they should return before dark.

"Okay."

After Gu Jia Ning took over the towel, Sheng Zexi started to undress.

Before she realized it, Sheng Zexi had already stripped his upper body bare.

Gu Jia Ning stared blankly at his firm chest and faintly visible abdominal muscles, feeling her face, warmed by the fire, grow even hotter.

"So, how do you like it?"

"It looks good."

Gu Jia Ning responded instinctively, and when she realized it, Sheng Zexi was laughing heartily, making her instantly embarrassed and annoyed.

"Sheng Zexi, you, you’re shameless."

"We’re husband and wife, what’s shameless about that? Don’t just look, but..."

With that, Sheng Zexi stepped forward and, before Gu Jia Ning could react, grabbed her hand and placed it on his abs.

"How does it feel? Isn’t the touch even better?"

Gu Jia Ning’s cheeks flushed crimson, and she stamped her foot in embarrassment and annoyance. "Aaah, Sheng Zexi, how can you be so annoying?"

Sheng Zexi laughed heartily, then turned around and shed the last layer of clothing, in one leap jumping into the hot spring.

"You don’t have to turn away, I don’t mind you looking."

Gu Jia Ning snorted softly and murmured, "Who wants to look at you?"

Despite saying this, Gu Jia Ning’s hands fidgeted nervously with excitement screaming inwardly.

Aaah, those abs felt so good, full of power and warmth, what to do about this itch in my hands.

No, no, Gu Jia Ning, you’ve got to hold back, don’t become a lustful wolf-woman.

Gu Jia Ning tried to hold back, but still sneaked a peek while Sheng Zexi was dressing after his bath.

Tsk tsk, oozing with that uniquely masculine hormones, so alluring.

Especially that lean, strong waist, brother’s waist, the deadly blade.

Oh no, tonight after getting on the kang, I bet by morning I won’t be able to get down!

Whimper, but still! Why am I feeling a bit expectant!

Gu Jia Ning, you really are some lecherous woman!

Oh well, being lecherous is not so bad, it’s my own husband, what’s wrong with looking!

Gu Jia Ning felt she had every reason to think that way!

Just one more look, just one!

Being a military man, Sheng Zexi was extremely sensitive to sight, and there’s no way he wouldn’t notice Gu Jia Ning’s sneaky glances.

Seeing the way she looked at him, Sheng Zexi’s heart sparked with excitement and joy.

He knew his figure was excellent.

Why wouldn’t Ningning like it? Anyway, he’s definitely better than any pale-skinned wretch of a youth.

Without realizing, Sheng Zexi slowed down his dressing, which he could have done quickly, and if he weren’t afraid of taking too long and catching a cold, who knows how long he would have dawdled.

"Ahem." Sheng Zexi finally dressed and gave a light cough, then went in front of Gu Jia Ning and helped her put on clothes, a scarf, and a hat, bundling her up warmly again.

"We should head back, it’s cold outside, and the temperature difference is big, we need to dress warm."

"Mm, I know."

So, once again, Sheng Zexi took Gu Jia Ning’s hand as they walked back through the passage, heading out.

At last, Sheng Zexi pushed the big stone back into place, blocking the entrance.

Sheng Zexi wasn’t one to have a strong spirit of sharing, he hadn’t planned on letting others find out and come soak.

Better to block it, so others don’t discover it, and bring his wife to soak when time allows.

Hopefully, there will be a chance for a romantic bathing together someday.

The thought of this possibility filled Sheng Zexi’s heart with warmth.

After pushing back the stone, he saw his wife gazing at him, unwilling to leave.

"When can we come back here?" Gu Jia Ning asked.

In the deep winter, being able to soak in a hot spring was a true blessing, especially when resources were scarce and heating water for a bath was difficult.

To Gu Jia Ning, this hot spring was a heavenly gift.

"Just tell me when you want to come, I’ll bring you as long as I’m free," Sheng Zexi promised, holding her hand.

"Alright."

As they walked out of the mountains and got into the car, the sky had just begun to darken by the time they reached the military district.

As usual, Sheng Zexi went to the canteen to get food, while Gu Jia Ning lay on the kang, entering the Divine Doctor Space with her soul to start studying how to treat Sheng Zexi’s body specifically.

"Wife, I’m back."

[Ding, congratulations to the host for passing the test, rewarding 20 points.]

Gu Jia Ning had just emerged from the Divine Doctor Space when she heard Sheng Zexi’s voice from outside.

She checked the time; 15 minutes had passed, but it had been 3 months in the Divine Doctor Space.

The timing was just perfect.

"Coming."
