Chapter 31
Stretching Exercises
“I really didn’t know you were allergic to shepherd’s purse. I’m sorry,” Ming Liuyi’s voice whispered into his ear.
Yao Zizhou could only feel the warmth in his ears. He had not expected his wife to be so good at flirting. Even though he could not move his body, he could not help but feel a little restless.
“Xiao Fan, you have to keep this a secret for me!” Ming Liuyi cried.
Yao Zizhou answered in his heart, ‘I already know, dear wife, don’t try to worm yourself out of this.”
“Madam, it’s normal that you didn’t know what the master is allergic to. After all, you used to...” Xian Fan spoke with hesitance.
“What did I do in the past?” Ming Liuyi asked, puzzled.
“Back then, you were not concerned about these matters. You even created some folk remedies, saying that you were treating the master’s illness...” Xiao Fan was a little afraid to say the last part.
Yao Zizhou’s mind was filled with memories of the past.
Original Ming Liuyi had wanted him to die sooner, so she would find suspicious things for him to eat or apply on himself from time to time. The hatred in her heart was too strong, and those things she fed him were all to mess with him.
Once, during the hot weather of July, Original Ming Liuyi?applied some black powder to his legs. Then, she added a pair of heated knee guards and set the temperature setting to the highest. It was so hot that he could not stand it and wanted to yank the knee guards off.
Original Ming Liuyi then immediately went off to complain to Yao Gui.
Yao Gui had sighed and came to find him, telling him how attentive Liuyi was, and asking him to cooperate.
Yao Zizhou had wanted to blow up with rage a few times, but he suppressed it after hearing Yao Gui’s sigh. He understood that Yao Gui felt terrible because of his disability, and it even forced Yao Gui to take care of the Yao Corporation when he was supposed to be retired. Yao Zizhou did not want Yao Gui to worry about his personal matters.
However, his legs were soon scalded red, and rashes appeared.
At that time, he heard Original Ming Liuyi exclaim in delight, “This is a sign of improvement with the toxins being expelled from his body. Zizhou’s legs can’t feel anything. I’ll apply it to his knees and the toxins can be expelled from there.”
Upon hearing this, no one cared. Hence, Yao Zizhou had suffered a lot at the hands of Original Ming Liuyi. Because she did not care about her own life at all, it was even more unlikely for her to care if he had an allergic reaction.
However, the woman beside him was different. Even though he was a vegetable, and there was no one else around, she still dutifully took care of him. And when he could not help but have suspicions, his wife would soothe him with her gentleness.
Every night before she went to bed, she would share with him what had happened that day. Yao Zizhou could feel the warmth emanating from her heart. While he had no idea what might have happened in between the transition, he knew of one thing: this person and Original Ming Liuyi were not the same.
That night,?Ming Liuyi did not neglect Yao Zizhou’s skin care, but this time she was much gentler and did not make his face red. She took an interest in this matter, and even looked forward to doing Yao Zizhou’s skin care every day.
Ming Liuyi even shared her skin care experience with You Lingling. She had bought two facial treatment devices while out with her friend, one for herself and one for Yao Zizhou.
Ming Liuyi had already tried it, and it felt very comfortable. Now she was eager to try it out on Yao Zizhou. She added some spiritual spring water into the device, then she turned it on and gently applied it along the contours of his face.
Yao Zizhou’s face constantly changed shape to match the device’s movements, which brought Ming Liuyi boundless amusement.
In the end, Ming Liuyi could not resist reaching out with her hands and pressing his cheeks together, causing his mouth to form a pout, making him look like a cheeky, handsome boy. At the sight, Ming Liuyi burst out laughing.
When Ming Liuyi was done goofing around, she put the device away and helped Yao Zizhou clean up. She rolled onto the bed without any of the hesitance she once had. Her feelings for Yao Zizhou had changed from fear to friendship. She felt that they were body already cordial with each other, so they could be considered friends.
Of course, this was only while he had yet to regain consciousness.
Ming Liuyi lay on the bed and watched the aerobics video You Lingling had sent her. It was the kind that could be done with a vegetative person. For example, sit-ups could be done by placing both legs under his body, making it a two-person exercise. Another example was to do face-down yoga stretches on the bed, using his hand to cushion her forehead...
She basically had to just figure out a way to exercise with a vegetable. Ming Liuyi thought about it for a moment before she adjusted Yao Zizhou’s hands on the bed, palms facing up. She then adjusted herself into a kneeling position, with her arms hanging naturally by her sides. Then, she leaned forward, bent down, and smacked her face against his palm...
