The Delicate Darling with Her Rough Man-Chapter 118 - 117: Her Husband is Toxic

Li Hongmei had just sat down when she suddenly remembered something.

She had forgotten to ask: was she supposed to moonbathe with her clothes on, or with her skin exposed?

’Oh well,’ she thought, ’I’ll just stay bundled up and do it like this!’

Li Hongmei sat serenely on the rock, gazing at the moon in the sky. She hoped she could absorb more of the world’s essence and make her skin fairer.

「Down the hillside.」

A man and a woman were stealthily climbing up as well.

One was a married man, the other a married woman, so they needed to find a deserted place.

On the hill behind the Educated Youth Point, there was a dilapidated house. A hunter used to live there, but after the old man was gored to death by a wild boar while hunting, the house was left empty.

Because it was remote and run-down, it had been completely abandoned.

The two had chosen this spot for their tryst. There was a bed inside, and they didn’t have to worry about being disturbed.

The couple ascended the hill, wrapped in each other’s arms. The man whispered sweet nothings to coax the woman, his hands and feet getting restless.

Up on the hillside, Li Hongmei, who was sitting on the large rock and bundled up tightly, heard the commotion and was about to call out a warning.

The moment she opened her mouth...

The pair across from her happened to look up, completely unprepared.

...a disembodied pair of gleaming white gums suddenly appeared, floating in mid-air.

The woman took one look and immediately shrieked in terror, "A ghost!"

"Shuanzi, I’m scared."

With that, she hid in the man’s arms.

The man was scared to death himself, but he still protected the woman.

Seeing the gleaming white gums approach, he lifted his foot and kicked out, then grabbed the woman’s hand and fled madly down the hill.

Li Hongmei took a hard kick to the stomach. She let out a wail and collapsed, the pain making her want to curse someone’s mother.

"Which bastard dared to kick me? Waaaah, it hurts so much."

She lay on the ground for a good while to recover. Just as she was about to get up...

...she abruptly remembered what Gu Jiaojiao had told her today. Li Hongmei’s eyes flew wide open.

’How did Gu Jiaojiao know I was going to get beaten up?’

Gu Jiaojiao, of course, had no idea.

She was currently heading up the mountain with Leng Yuan.

This husband of hers... walking a mountain path at night, it was as if he were on level ground.

Gu Jiaojiao stumbled along as he pulled her by the hand. She couldn’t see a thing, but every time she was about to fall, the man would steady her just in time.

"Honey, you’re amazing!"

Hearing Gu Jiaojiao’s praise, Leng Yuan couldn’t help but turn back.

In the moonlight, he saw his little wife’s eyes shining brightly, as if he were her entire world when she looked at him.

The man’s expression softened. He placed a large hand on the girl’s soft, long hair, his tone gentle.

"You silly girl. It’s just climbing a mountain, what’s so amazing about that? In a bit, I’ll show you what’s truly amazing."

’Amazing for just walking a mountain path?’

’It’s just a matter of practice makes perfect.’

He went up the mountain year-round, and with his good memory, he knew which parts of the path were stable and which were muddy.

Almost every man in the Qingshan Team had this kind of skill.

At this thought, his steps faltered for a fraction of a second.

He remembered that Yun Hao also went up the mountain often, and he was very lucky, sometimes even managing to hunt wild pheasants.

’Had his little wife said these same words of praise to that man before?’

The thought flashed through Leng Yuan’s mind, but he remained so calm that Gu Jiaojiao didn’t notice a thing.

Her attention was entirely focused on her husband, using his hand to keep her balance.

After walking for about half an hour, they came to a ditch more than a meter wide that they needed to jump across.

Gu Jiaojiao immediately chickened out. She clung to Leng Yuan’s arm, refusing to jump.

"I... I don’t dare."

It was pitch-black, and she couldn’t see anything, but she had just accidentally kicked a rock into it. She was certain the ditch was very deep.

’At least five or six meters,’ she estimated.

Seeing how terrified his wife was, Leng Yuan pulled her directly into his arms to comfort her.

"Don’t be afraid. I’m here."

Gu Jiaojiao’s mood was considerably calmed. The next moment, the man tightened his grip on her waist, and with a single leap, carried her steadily to the other side of the deep ditch.

Gu Jiaojiao: ...

She was still basking in her husband’s sweet reassurances when the man subjected her to a heart-stopping leap.

Gu Jiaojiao finally understood.

A man’s tenderness is poison!
