Female-dominated society: My husband is clingy and I can't shake him off

Shen Ziche thought with annoyance, but his body unconsciously moved closer to Qian Duoduo, as if he wanted to meld himself into her body.

Qian Duoduo was awakened by Shen Ziche's actions, but she didn't dare to move at all.

She was afraid that if she moved, Shen Ziche would find out that she was awake.

Once Shen Ziche's breathing had calmed down, Qian Duoduo slowly relaxed her stiff body and reached out to embrace Shen Ziche.

Shen Ziche wasn't fast asleep yet. Sensing Qian Duoduo's movement, he immediately looked up and asked softly, "Duoduo? Are you awake?"

Qian Duoduo dared not speak, or even breathe.

It was so dark that Shen Ziche couldn't see whether Qian Duoduo had opened her eyes or not.

However, Shen Ziche was not giving up and began to cautiously probe again.

"Dodo? Dodo?..."

I called out several times, but Qian Duoduo didn't respond.

At this moment, Qian Duoduo didn't dare to breathe loudly, but given how loudly Shen Ziche had called her, even if she was asleep, he could have woken her up.

Shen Ziche's voice grew softer and softer, indicating that Qian Duoduo was truly still asleep.

He buried his face in Qian Duoduo's arms in disappointment.

About fifteen minutes later, Qian Duoduo felt that Shen Ziche had fallen asleep.

She'd been doing that position for a long time, and her arm was numb; she needed to change it.

She gently raised her arm, and Shen Ziche immediately looked up, "Duoduo?"

A dull thud followed as Shen Ziche's head struck Qian Duoduo's chin.

Qian Duoduo immediately felt pain, and tears welled up in her eyes. She also groaned involuntarily.

"No~"

But I quickly realized she was pretending to be asleep, but she should have woken up by now, given how much pain she was in.

Shen Ziche reached out and rubbed the top of his head; it didn't hurt much.

"Duoduo? Are you in pain?"

Just as Qian Duoduo was about to speak, she heard Shen Ziche mutter to himself softly.

"It shouldn't hurt, otherwise Duoduo would have woken up."

Qian Duoduo could only swallow the words that were on the tip of her tongue, and she didn't even dare to wipe away the tears in the corners of her eyes.

After all that fuss, Shen Ziche started yawning and slowly drifted off to sleep.

Qian Duoduo also carefully and actually fell asleep.

The next morning, as soon as it was light, Shen Ziche opened his eyes and looked at Qian Duoduo.

I noticed a bruise on her chin, which must have been from when I bumped into her last night.

He reached out and gently stroked her, just touching Qian Duoduo's chin.

"Hi~"

Qian Duoduo felt a stinging pain in her chin and quickly reached out to lightly cover it.

"Ah Che, it hurts~"

Shen Ziche felt a little guilty, and he told Qian Duoduo embarrassedly that he had accidentally bumped into it last night.

Of course, the part where he tried to wake up Qian Duoduo is omitted.

Qian Duoduo also felt a little guilty, after all, she was pretending to be asleep.

Looking at myself in the bronze mirror this morning, my face was covered in bruises.

"Duoduo, let me apply the medicine for you."

Qian Duoduo was about to say no, but when her eyes met the guilt in Shen Ziche's eyes, she nodded.

Shen Ziche applied the ointment he had brought back yesterday to the red and swollen areas on Qian Duoduo's face.

This ointment was originally intended to remove handprints, but it unexpectedly came in handy for other uses.

The ointment was applied to the red and swollen area on Qian Duoduo's chin, causing a slight stinging sensation, but she only frowned and remained silent.

She stared curiously at Shen Ziche's head. Why didn't he feel any pain?

"Ah Che, doesn't your head hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt."

After Shen Ziche finished answering, he realized how Qian Duoduo knew that it was her head that had hit the ground.

He only said that he accidentally bumped into her chin, not that it was his head.
