Chapter 28: A Red in the Green Woods

  "What's so good-looking about it? Are you asking me to kneel down and scrub the floor or dance a sensual dance for your honor?" I continued to say with a playful smile.

  Chu Xue's face fell at the right time, and occasionally joking with her is okay, but never touch her bottom line. At this moment, I hurriedly shut my mouth, afraid that she would fire me from my position as a housekeeper.

  After returning home, I put on an apron and started busy with new dishes. Chu Xue was lying on the sofa in the living room watching TV. From time to time, I would steal a glance at her while being busy, and as soon as I did, there was an immediate reaction of raising the flag downstairs.

  But all I saw was her two legs slightly apart, from my angle, just enough to see the pink underwear inside her stockings, it really lived up to that saying: A single red dot in a sea of green, moving spring colors don't need much.

  Then, in my mind's eye, I began to imagine myself reaching out and touching her ankle, then slowly making my way up from her ankle, past her calf, and finally extending to the space between her legs...

  My imagination was too rich, so the kitchen knife also followed and ate vinegar, so my left hand was cut, and blood gushed out, hurting me to scream loudly, the tragic degree is comparable to watching a horror movie.

  Hearing my cry, Chu Xue hurried over, saw that I was still bleeding from the hand, turned around and walked away. Doesn't even know how to comfort a dying man? Isn't this too heartless?!

  After a while, Chu Xue came back again, carrying a toolbox in her hand, and said with concern: "Stretch out your hand, I'll help you deal with it."

  Upon hearing this, I was deeply moved, took a deep breath, stretched out my hand in front of her and said: "Chu Xue, you have been too good to me. From now on, I've made up my mind, I'll devote myself to repaying your boundless kindness for the rest of my life."

  "Whatever, you deal with it yourself! I don't want your self-sacrificing devotion!" Chu Xue turned to leave.

  "Ah! Don't! I'm having trouble with one hand! Just be kind and help me deal with it, okay?" I begged hastily.

  Chu Xue gave me a white look, but ultimately didn't leave. She opened the toolbox, pulled out a cotton swab, dipped it in some iodine, and first applied it to my wound for a while before wrapping it with gauze and securing it with adhesive tape. That was it.

  "Idiot! You've been learning cooking for more than half a month and you still cut your hand, what's on your mind?" Chu Xue said with a smile that was not quite a smile, then she flicked my forehead with her ring finger.

  Her tone and movements were full of flirtatious charm, I couldn't help but be enchanted, and said: "Can you play it for me again?"

  "……" Chu Xue glared at me, then cursed me as a psychopath and left with her toolbox. As I watched her slender back and swinging hips, my useless second brain thought of rebelling again!

  When I was eating, I strongly recommended my new dish. Chu Xue hesitated and didn't dare to eat, saying it had a bloody smell. However, she still ate it, and for the first time, she gave a thumbs up to the dish I made. I was overjoyed when I heard that, and almost rushed over to hug her and kiss her twice.

  After dinner, we sat on the sofa to watch TV together. She wanted to watch a Korean romance movie. I said that all Korean brain-dead screenwriters were just making up nonsense to deceive girls' tears and had no artistic value at all. So I snatched the remote control and switched to a domestic historical drama. She then snatched the remote control back, and so on. Inevitably, we had some physical contact in the process.

  I was enjoying the process, and I wanted to rush back when I heard a knock on the door. I cursed silently and opened the door in anger. However, after opening the door, I was shocked unexpectedly. Standing outside the door was Su Zi, who looked even angrier than me. Her face was as sharp as a knife, her eyes hid a murderous intent, she was exactly like a shrew descending from heaven!

  I hastily shut myself out of the door and said to Susie, "Oh dear! How did you find your way here?"

  "How can I not find this place?" Su Zi asked back.

  "We can talk about it when we get home!" I didn't want to argue with her in the corridor, lest it cause misunderstandings from others, so I opened my own door and went inside.

  Suzy followed me in, huffing and puffing as she looked at me, and sternly asked: "What were you and the woman next door just doing? You made such a big noise that I heard it all!"

  "What can we do? Don't use that tone, okay? You're not my wife now, and I'm not your husband. What right do you have to interfere with my life?"

  "Just because I love you, I can't tolerate you being intimate with other women. Even though we're not legally husband and wife yet, in reality we're already almost like a married couple - isn't it just a matter of a piece of paper?"

  This woman is being too unreasonable, what she loves me, she can restrain me, I love Fan Bingbing, can I also go to restrain Fan Bingbing with a clear conscience?

  I was almost out of breath, and I said fiercely: "Suzy, let me reiterate once again, no matter where I go, no matter who I'm with or what I do, this is my freedom. I don't need to report to you, I won't interfere with your private life, so please don't interfere with mine either?"

  Suzy suddenly softened her tone, coquettishly flung herself into my arms, deliberately rubbing her full breasts against my chest, and then said with unparalleled tenderness: "Darling, I also want to give you freedom, but I'm afraid! Afraid that in the future you'll abandon me and follow other women's romantic adventures. It's all because I love you too much!"

  "I know you love me, but love shouldn't be a constraint or a shackle. Besides, don't you still sleep with Hu Yunwei every night? He's your real husband, and I have no reason to oppose that. But can't you also stop being so strict with me? Isn't this unfair?" I said, suppressing the sadness and anger in my heart, trying to remain calm and composed.

  "So you're saying I'm to blame for not having divorced Hu Yunwei yet? Fine! When he gets back from work, I'll tell him the truth - that we're in love and planning to start a new family together. I'll get him to sign the divorce papers as soon as possible, and then I can spend every night with you, just the two of us, and it will all be fair!"

  "I didn't mean it, actually Hu Yunwei is quite good to you, you don't have to divorce him. Besides, even if you two get divorced, I still can't marry you, I'm afraid of marriage, do you know what that means?" I lied.

  I'm not actually afraid of marriage, I just said that to dispel Su Wei's idea of marrying me. Moreover, in my heart, I already have a fiancée, and that is the goddess Chu Xue who lives next door. Apart from her, there is no one else. As for Lin Qi, whether she can be rescued or not is another matter altogether.

  Susie struggled out of my arms, staring at me with tears in her eyes and said emotionally, "You're cheating me! You don't want to marry me, so you made up the excuse of being afraid of marriage. How can you do this to me? These days, I've been your nurse and your woman, never daring to complain. You don't even want to marry me, are you worthy of me? Waaahhh..."

  As she spoke, Suzy started crying again, making a big fuss and threatening to hang herself - this was her usual tactic! Even so, I decided to stick it out; otherwise, it would be even harder to get rid of her in the future!
