UOE – Chapter Forty-Six
Chapter Forty-Six
Gu Jing heard the sounds of water running from the bathroom, and she thought about Zhen Lang’s kickboxer body in the bathtub.
Gu Jing calmed herself, she expected too much of Zhen Lang’s body under his clothes. Although Zhen Lang wasn’t a weakling, she didn’t know if the rest of his body was firm like his shoulders, waist and bottom.
Zhen Lang poked his head through the bathroom door. ‘Little girl, come here and help me.’
‘Um,’ Gu Jing said.
Gu Jing took a deep breath. Then she slowly hopped along a wall toward the bathroom to avoid pressure on her ankle cast.
Inside the bathroom Gu Jing didn’t expect Zhen Lang would bend over and test the temperature of the bathtub water in his clothes.
‘What are you thinking about?’ Zhen Lang asked.
‘I’m thinking about your firm round bottom,’ Gu Jing said.
Gu Jing wanted to slap her cheeks after she carelessly answered Zhen Lang’s question.
‘Is that so? Do you want to touch my bottom?’ Zhen Lang asked.
Gu Jing scoffed. ‘Who wants to touch your bottom?’
Zhen Lang smiled and he pointed at the bathtub. ‘Can you help me take a bath first? If you take a bath first, you’ll get wet after you wash my body then you’ll need to take another bath.’
Gu Jing nodded her head.
‘Why didn’t you use the wheelchair? If you hop around you’ll be tired to death,’ Zhen Lang said.
‘I don’t want to feel like an invalid,’ Gu Jing mumbled.
‘Aren’t you one now?’ Zhen Lang asked.
‘I can stand,’ Gu Jing said. She pressed her back against a wall to steady herself. ‘I’ll help you take off your clothes.’
Zhen Lang stood in front of Gu Jing. She slowly took off his shirt and she wanted to rub his firm chest and stomach. She was happy his chest wasn’t like the men on TV with a hairy chest and a beer belly. She swallowed her saliva and her fingers brushed over his chest.
‘The water is getting cold. Have you taken off my shirt yet?’ Zhen Lang said.
‘Oh! Yes!’ Gu Jing said and she quickly took off Zhen Lang’s shirt.
Zhen Lang tucked a loose strand of his wife’s hair behind her ear with his left hand. ‘Are you cold?’
Gu Jing shook her head.
Zhen Lang smiled. ‘If you’re not cold then why is your body trembling?’
Gu Jing didn’t know why her body trembled and why she felt breathless after she touched Zhen Lang’s body.
‘Why aren’t you taking a bath? Didn’t you say the water is getting cold?’ Gu Jing asked.
Zhen Lang pointed at his pants. ‘My pants.’
‘Mmm… ok,’ Gu Jing said.
Gu Jing slowly put her hands on Zhen Lang’s waist. Her hands brushed over his stomach, she felt an electric shock and she retrieved her hands.
‘What is it?’ Zhen Lang asked.
Gu Jing took a deep breath and she ripped Zhen Lang’s pants in half.
Zhen Lang looked at his ripped pants in his wife’s hands and he shook his head helplessly. ‘Is this how you repay someone who saved your life?’
Gu Jing stared at the ceiling. ‘Are you taking a bath or not?’
Zhen Lang laughed softly and he sat in the bathtub. ‘Little girl, scrub my back.’
Gu Jing gripped a wet towel in her hands and she kept her eyes closed. She reasoned that twenty-two years ago she had seen Zhen Lang naked so she didn’t need to be nervous.
