The Peasant Wife: The Prime Minister's Beloved

Isn't this just what you deserve? The detergent irritates the unhealed wound, so pain is inevitable.

"You found this yourself. I told you not to touch the water. Now go back to the bed and sit down."

Chen Xi said unhappily that even when facing Xie Tianyi who was drunk and unconscious, she would never tolerate or indulge him.

This time, Xie Tianyi obeyed obediently. He covered his aching fingers and returned to Chen Xi's room. He lay quietly on the bed waiting for her return.

When Chen Xi finally tidied the kitchen, fifteen minutes had passed quietly.

And Xie Tianyi, like a silent sculpture, sat on the bed with his head lowered, maintaining the same posture for such a long time.

"Okay, take off the gauze on your hand and I'll help you change it."

Xie Tianyi finally reacted and obediently untied the gauze.

The wound looked particularly pale due to being soaked for a long time, which made Chen Xi shake his head and sigh. Once Xie Tianyi got drunk, even his basic judgment seemed to be diluted by alcohol.

She took out anti-inflammatory powder and clean gauze from the medicine box and carefully re-bandaged Xie Tianyi's wound.

"Thank you, sister!" After bandaging the wound, Xie Tianyi stared into Chen Xi's eyes and thanked her sincerely.

This time, Chen Xi did not repeat the warning of "Don't touch the water". After all, it would be better to wait until he was completely sober before giving him a serious reminder.

Chen Xi gently put down the heavy medicine box, and when she turned around, her eyes inadvertently caught Xie Tianyi's slightly childish scene - he had leisurely taken off his shoes and socks, and his whole body stretched out to occupy the bed she had carefully made.

She pursed her lips, muttered to herself, and a barely perceptible smile flickered in her eyes.

Just as she was about to turn around and leave quietly, Xie Tianyi gently grabbed the corner of her clothes with his fingertips.

He half-closed his eyes, with a lazy smile on his lips, and whispered: "Sister, take a nap with Tianyi."

After hearing these words, the patience she had managed to maintain instantly collapsed.

"Xie Tianyi, let go!" Chen Xi's voice was mixed with a bit of impatience and determination. She deliberately emphasized, "I'm not your sister, don't call me that anymore!"

However, at this moment, Xie Tianyi seemed to have been captured by sleepiness, his rational defenses blurred, and he was dependent on and identified with Chen Xi in his heart.

Chen Xi struggled for a moment, and the two children's usual well-behaved appearance emerged in his mind: they were always so quiet when they slept, never rolled off the bed, never cried when they woke up, and were even able to put on their shoes by themselves.

This reassurance gradually relaxed her guard.

"Okay, I'll stay and you go to sleep." She compromised, with a barely perceptible tenderness in her voice.

Unexpectedly, Xie Tianyi was not satisfied, but became even more demanding: "No, sister wants to sleep with me too!"

There was a gleam of expectation in those clear eyes, which made people feel pity and helplessness.

Chen Xi glared at him fiercely, secretly competing in his heart: Forget it, I'll accompany you this time, and see what tricks you can play!

She knew very well that this was her territory, her bed.

Xie Tianyi seemed to sense her compromise, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he gently pulled the thin blanket over Chen Xi. His meticulous care was hard to refuse.

As Chen Xi lay down, the two looked into each other's eyes. Under her gentle gaze, Xie Tianyi obediently moved his body and snuggled up to her side.

Chen Xi reminded softly: "Move in, you're too close to me."

Xie Tianyi just moved symbolically, and the insignificant distance made Chen Xi laugh. She simply stood up and forcibly pushed his pillow to a more suitable position, then lay down again, with her back to Xie Tianyi, pretending to fall asleep.

Only when he felt Chen Xi's even breathing did Xie Tianyi close his eyes with peace of mind and fell asleep. This sleep lasted until the afternoon sun shone...

Chen Xi was awakened by an inexplicable warmth, as if he was hugging a blazing stove, the heat was unbearable.

"Hmm..." She instinctively tried to push away the heat source beside her, but found that the warmth stubbornly entangled her.

She slowly opened her eyes, and what came into view was Xie Tianyi's naked chest. At that moment, she was completely stunned.

How is this going?

She was full of doubts. The scene before her was so abrupt and the obvious male outline made her at a loss for a moment.

Chen Xi suddenly woke up and realized that he was lying in Xie Tianyi's arms. He was the source of the heat in his dream.

She did not hesitate and pushed hard, and Xie Tianyi was caught off guard and was pushed to the edge of the bed.

The sudden change also woke up Xie Tianyi. He rubbed his aching forehead, looking confused.

"elder sister?"

Before he finished speaking, he realized his mistake. When did he ever have a sister?

"Xie Tianyi!" Chen Xi's voice was stern, interrupting his thoughts.

Before Xie Tianyi could fully come to his senses, the two children had already rushed into the room happily.

It turned out that they had woken up long ago, and seeing their parents were still sleeping, they were enjoying themselves in their father's room.

Hearing the noise, they immediately ran over. Xiao Yang pointed at Xie Tianyi's untied collar and asked curiously, "Daddy, why are your clothes untied?"

Xie Tianyi was only wearing a thin undershirt with the straps on his chest loose, exposing his chest. The scene was extremely embarrassing.

He quickly put his clothes in order, not daring to look directly at Chen Xi. This scene was too absurd for him.

Due to the presence of the child, Chen Xi could only suppress the doubts in his mind, hurriedly put on his shoes, and signaled Xie Tianyi to get dressed quickly as well.

Despite his splitting headache, Xie Tianyi still endured the discomfort, quickly dressed himself, carefully folded the quilt for Chen Xi, and then left the room together.

At this time, the children had surrounded Chen Xi, begging her to tell them those fantastic stories.

Throughout the afternoon and into the evening, the atmosphere between the two was extremely subtle, and every time their eyes met, they were filled with awkwardness and discomfort.

Especially Chen Xi, she knew that her sleeping posture was not elegant. Recalling the scene in the afternoon, it was very likely that she accidentally approached Xie Tianyi while sleepwalking.

Based on this, she decided not to hold Xie Tianyi accountable anymore.

After dinner, the children washed up and curled up in their warm beds.

Chen Xi returned from the kitchen and was about to go back to his room. When he passed by Xie Tianyi's room, he stopped him.

"Ahem...what's the matter? If there's nothing special, I'll go back and rest first." Chen Xi's tone was a little distant.

"I'm really sorry about what happened this afternoon. I don't know what happened, but my clothes got loose for no apparent reason. I promise that I didn't mean to be frivolous in any way."

Xie Tianyi apologized sincerely, his eyes dim, as if there were still many words stuck in his throat that he couldn't bring himself to say...

Chen Xi heard this, although she had some doubts in her heart, she still chose to believe in his character. She asked with concern: "Well, I believe in your character. So what do you remember after you got drunk?"

However, Xie Tianyi's expression became more complicated at this moment, and he hesitated to speak...
