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

When Li Mo'er was all ready, she found that she couldn't find a lighter anywhere. She searched the firewood pile and the bottom of the pot, but still couldn't find it.

When she saw the two small stones on the ground, she realized that this was not modern times; there was no gas stove, and not even a lighter.

She resignedly picked up the two stones. These must be flint and steel. How primitive! They're practically like those of savages.

Li Mo'er carefully struck two stones with each hand, afraid of accidentally hitting her own hands or setting them on fire.

However, this family was really poor; even their flint was only the size of a thumb, too small to hold.

After more than ten minutes of effort, Li Mo'er was sweating slightly, but still couldn't get the engine running.

She began to examine the stone, and an absurd and ridiculous idea flashed through her mind. She slowly brought the stone to her nose and fanned it with her hand, but she couldn't smell anything.

She couldn't believe it, so she put the stone directly under her nose. Sure enough, it was just an ordinary stone, not some kind of flint and steel, and she had wasted so much of her time.

She angrily threw the stone on the ground and stomped on it twice, but the more she looked at it, the angrier she became.

"Don't think that just because you're not saying anything, I've calmed down. A broken stone like that dares to try and impersonate someone else? It's really ignorant of its own limitations."

Li Mo'er picked up the two stones and threw them away forcefully. How dare two small stones deceive her feelings?

"hiss--"

Li Mo'er used too much force and aggravated the injury on her arm. She was so engrossed in the moment that she had completely forgotten about it.

Li Mo'er gently patted her arm and comforted her, "It doesn't hurt at all, don't worry."

Although she wanted to apply some medicine, she had already given it to Su Yanli, and she was afraid that if she asked for the medicine back, Su Yanli would misunderstand, so she could only endure it.

However, she could endure the pain, but how could she endure the lack of fire? She was full of anger, but she couldn't use it to cook.

After much consideration, she decided to go find Su Yanli; he should know where the flint was.

Li Mo'er kept her head down, thinking about how to start the conversation. When she reached Su Yanli's room, her hand moved faster than her brain and she pushed the door open.

She saw Su Yanli struggling to apply medicine to the back of her shoulder.

Startled by the sound of the door opening, Su Yanli, who was by the bed, quickly turned around and grabbed her clothes to put them on.

Su Yanli bit his lip tightly. He didn't know what Li Mo'er was going to do, and he didn't dare to speak easily.

Li Mo'er's moods were unpredictable, and he didn't know if she was punishing him.

Li Mo'er was also stunned. Although it had only been a blink of an eye, she had clearly seen that Su Yanli had abs.

Although his back was covered in scars, his front was in much better condition, with only a few very light wounds that were almost invisible.

Seeing Su Yanli's panic, Li Mo'er immediately began to explain.

"Um, well, I didn't mean to." Do you believe me?

Li Mo'er recalled her expression just now; she probably was about to reach out and touch it. Even if it were her, she wouldn't believe it.

Su Yanli did not speak, and continued to stare silently at the ground.

Li Mo'er awkwardly scratched her head. "Uh, do you need me to help you apply the medicine?"

She felt much stronger after coming here; she not only learned to find topics to talk about, but also how to break the ice.

Upon hearing this, Su Yanli immediately raised his head and looked at her warily. If you looked closely, you would see fear in his eyes.

Seeing Su Yanli's rabbit-like expression, Li Mo'er immediately raised her hands to show her stance.

"I just want to help you, I have no other intentions. I won't touch you, really."

As Li Mo'er spoke, she nodded to show her determination.

No, if I don't touch him, how can I apply the medicine to him?

"I just touched it, very lightly, uh, not even a light touch, but, I promise, um..."

She seems to be getting more and more off; what on earth is she saying?

Seeing Li Mo'er's helpless state, Su Yanli felt that she was much better than before; she had never shown this side of herself in front of him before.

He silently turned around and slowly pulled the clothes draped over his body down to his waist, tacitly agreeing to let her apply the medicine.

Li Mo'er also stepped forward on her own, closed her eyes and silently recited "form is emptiness, emptiness is form," not knowing whether she wanted to eliminate her desires or the thought of beating herself up.

She dipped her finger in the medicine, gently applied it to the wound, and then slowly spread it with her fingertips.

Su Yanli felt the temperature of Li Mo'er's fingers; they were quite hot, and his back felt hot as well.

But when he applied the medicine himself, it was clearly cool to the touch, so how could it feel hot?

Su Yanli's attention was entirely focused on her back, feeling Li Mo'er's touch.

"Well--"

Su Yanli realized she had made a sound and immediately bit her lip.

Because his attention was focused on one thing, he clearly felt the pain at the beginning.

But he could endure being beaten without uttering a sound before, so why can't he even bear it now when it's just applying medicine?

Li Mo'er was also startled by Su Yanli's voice and withdrew her hand. "I'm sorry, I'll be gentler."

Sorry? She actually apologized? Is this really Li Mo'er?

During this time, he avoided Li Mo'er and tried his best not to have any contact with her.

Every time they met, Li Mo'er would be in a bad mood and extremely irritable. He would not leave the room except when he was cooking for her.

Normally, he would wait until Li Mo'er left the house or fell asleep before going out himself.

He had never seen Li Mo'er so gentle before. He really hoped she could always be this gentle, but could someone like her change? Or perhaps she had ulterior motives. Thinking of this, the light in Su Yanli's eyes dimmed again.

Hearing Su Yanli's voice, Li Mo'er moved even more gently, even bringing her face close to Su Yanli's back to make it easier to apply the medicine.

Su Yanli felt the warm breath from her nose, and his body trembled involuntarily. He could feel the hairs on his arms standing on end.

His ears were already red; apart from that one night, he had never been this close to Li Mo'er.

Seeing Su Yanli's body trembling slightly, Li Mo'er thought she had hit her too hard again, so she moved closer to see more clearly.

To ease his pain, Li Mo'er applied the medicine while gently blowing on it with her mouth.

She had tried this method before; when she was injured, blowing on it would relieve the pain.

Li Mo'er carefully applied the medicine, so meticulously, as if she were treating a work of art.

The process felt exceptionally long to both of them. Su Yanli kept her body tense, gritting her teeth to keep herself from making a sound.

Li Mo'er, on the other hand, was trying to control her lust while worrying that her strength would cause Su Yanli pain.

It was finally over, and the two of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

Li Mo'er slowly rubbed her waist, which felt like it was about to break, and her eyes were so sore they were about to tear up.

"Alright, get plenty of rest these days, you'll be fine soon." Li Mo'er handed the medicine to Su Yanli.

"Thank you, thank you, my lady."

Su Yanli obediently accepted it, but her fingertips accidentally touched Li Mo'er's hand, preventing him from finishing his sentence.
