Her fingers, all of them, were very delicate. If she had to pick her nose, she figured itâd be best to use her pinky finger.
She extended her pinky finger again.
With one hand supporting the back of his head, her pinky hadnât even touched his nose when he suddenly coughed, launching a spray of mud from his nostrils right onto her face.
âXiao Yuchuan!â she exploded.
A booming sound filled his ears, frightening him into consciousness. He blinked quickly, gazing at two mud splashes on her face, he burst into laughter despite himself, âDear, you look both terrifying and amusing now.â
âHmphâ¦â she waved her hand dismissively, full of disbelief, âHow could a woman as beautiful as I am ever be scary?â She felt that after her pus sores were healed due to the medicine, her features were absolutely beautiful and attractiveâ¦
Xiao Yuchuan pointed at the water puddle by the mud pit he had just fallen into, âTake a look for yourself.â
Su Qingyue walked over and looked at her reflection in the muddy water, âAh!â
She let out a scream. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
She shrieked, âIs that even a human!â
Her face, which had cleared up a bit due to the ointment she applied before picking bayberries, had now lost most of its treatment to the rain, with just a few discolored traces left on the white face that had been soaked by the rain and pus sores.
Being green and white was bad enough, but now she also got two splashes of black mud fired from his nostrils.
Xiao Yuchuan quickly tried to crawl over to comfort her, but he was too weak. He could only gesture at her from a distance, âDear, rest assured, youâre human! Definitely, still human!â
âItâs all because of you! My face just started to get a little better, and now itâs thrown back to square one!â She stormed over to him, right hand balled into a fist, palm facing upward, rearing back.
Before she could land a blow, he was already wailing, âDear, youâre going to hit someone!â
She rubbed her palm against her own face, bent down, and gave him a charmingly gentle smile, âHusband, how could I ever hit you?
She was smiling so gently, yet he felt a chill going down his spine, âWifâ¦wifâ¦wifeâ¦â
âI just want to kill you!â she finished, then viciously twisted his arm, then pinched and twisted it a full revolution.
âAh!â It was his turn to scream this time.
Once sheâd finished pinching his arm, she began pinching all over his body, his chest, twisted his thigh, his face was again pinched and twisted⦠âAh!â He kept screaming, âMy wife is murdering meâ¦â
Since the rain had let up, several nearby villagers had all come out.
Upon witnessing Su Qingyueâs actions against Xiao Yuchuan, a few of the onlookers started to point and whisper. Among them, hunter Li Yibao said, âWife of the Xiao Family, youâre going to suffocate Chuanâ¦â
âSu Qingyue, is it because you think Chuan is a burden being sick, so you are disgusted and abusing himâ¦â Mrs. Qian Zhang, who was gossiping in one of the homes, clearly disagreed.
âWow, even hitting her husband, the wife of the Xiao Family sure is fierceâ¦â
As the onlookers pointed and discussed, before Su Qingyue even had a chance to speak, Chuan stepped in, âIâm itching all over and asked my wife to scratch me. None of your business!â
âYou ungrateful fool.â Mrs. Qian Zhang waved her old handkerchief, âIf you donât want our intervention, why do you yell murder?â
âCanât I joke around while being itchy?â Xiao Yuchuan huffed coldly, then turned to look at his wife lovingly, âYueyue, dear, do twist and pinch me a few more times. I have a weird taste and love the sensation of your little hands pinching and squeezing meâ¦.â
