Chapter 49: “Can’t sleep.”

Upon hearing him speak vulgarly, Chen Xiang became nervous, tiptoed and reached out to cover his mouth, pleadingly looking at him. She whispered, “Please don’t say those words.”

Her hands were fragrant, and the man’s tongue licked out, rubbing against her palm with his rough beard stubble. He mumbled in response, “Mm.”

Chen Xiang’s hand was tickled by his licking, making her blush as she pulled her hand back and rubbed it forcefully on her clothes, but she couldn’t get rid of that tingling sensation.

Her grandmother came out of the room, and Chen Xiang hurriedly lowered her head to go outside to boil water for washing. Her grandmother sat down on a stool in the living room and gestured to Liao Jun to sit on a bench. After he sat down, she said, “Coach Liao, I want you to promise me one thing.”

Liao Jun straightened his posture and said, “Grandma, go ahead.”

“If you ever stop loving her in the future, please bring her back to me.” Grandma’s eyes were red as she said, “As long as I’m alive and breathing, I can still take care of her.”

Liao Jun didn’t make any promises, just replied, “Okay.”

Grandma was very satisfied with Liao Jun, but she and Chen Xiang depended on each other in the countryside. The original plan was to find a local countryman for Chen Xiang to marry and have children with. Who knew they would come across someone like Liao Jun.

After a moment of silence, he suddenly spoke up, “If I were to be hit by a car one day and became disabled, would you abandon me?”

Chen Xiang stared at him in surprise, then after a while understood his meaning and shook her head gently.

Liao Jun chuckled and reached out to pinch her cheek, “Then listen carefully, no matter what happens in the future, I won’t abandon you.”

Chen Xiang was stunned.

The man caressed her face with his fingertips, his husky voice saying, “Don’t be afraid.”

Chen Xiang’s heart trembled fiercely.

The water boiled, bubbling continuously. Chen Xiang stood up to fill the kettle, but Liao Jun was afraid she would burn herself and insisted on doing it himself. Chen Xiang was worried that he would burn himself and refused to let him. 

“If I get burned, it’s no big deal, but if your delicate hands get burned, I’ll be heartbroken.” Liao Jun pinched her cheek.

Chen Xiang blushed and handed him the water ladle, then reminded him anxiously, “Be careful.”

Liao Jun smirked proudly, “What can’t your man do?”

Chen Xiang remained silent as she went to pick up the twigs on the ground. But she couldn’t resist, and a smile crept up on her lips.

At night, Chen Xiang slept in the same room as her grandmother, while Liao Jun slept alone in Chen Yang’s room. 

Having gotten used to sleeping with Chen Xiang these past few nights, he suddenly felt a bit uncomfortable sleeping alone. He tossed and turned, unable to sleep. When he got up in the middle of the night, he coincidentally caught Chen Xiang returning from the restroom. He grabbed her and pulled her back to bed.

“Coach!” Chen Xiang pushed him away, “No…”

“I won’t touch you, just sleep for a while. I can’t sleep.” He held her in his arms, burying his face in her neck. “I miss you so much I can’t sleep.”
