Chapter 43: Chapter 39 New Feelings_1

Li Ming carefully held Zhang Yuan’s leg to help her stretch. Zhang Yuan blushed a bit at his touch.

After Zhang Yuan was done stretching her legs, she was helped onto the bed.

“Honey, could I ask something of you?”

Zhang Yuan looked carefully at Li Ming from her spot in the bed, speaking in a slightly heavier breath.

“What is it?”

Holding Zhang Yuan’s leg, Li Ming looked up at her and asked.

“Well… could I be the one to share the bed with you tonight? Let Sister Li go home. You can…finish things with her first, I don’t mind. I just wanted to be the only one to keep you company at night.”

Zhang Yuan nervously bit her lip while speaking, eyes flickering, afraid she might anger Li Ming.

However, seeing Zhang Yuan’s anxiety, Li Ming knew she had entirely given her heart to him. He chuckled and replied, “That’s fine, Sister Li needs to take care of the kids anyway. It would be better for her to go home to sleep tonight.”

Whether to let a devoted beautiful woman, who obeyed him without question, become intimate with him or to let a woman whose heart was set on a simple transaction continue to play the role of a fake wife was an incredibly easy decision.

“Honey…”

Zhang Yuan was suddenly moved to kiss him, only to discover that the door was still open. She quickly patted Li Ming’s shoulder, “Honey, the… door…”

Li Ming looked up, and casually used his telekinesis to shut the door.

“Bang…”

Peng Zhi, who had just reached the door, was surprised: “…”

“Pant… pant…”

Taking a deep breath, Peng Zhi wanted to express his anger, but the smell of the food in his hands and the thought of Li Ming’s strong physique calmed his rage.

“Hmph, it’s the end of the world. Food is more important than a woman.”

Peng Zhi uttered fiercely and then walked back to his house, eating heartily.

Once he’d eaten every grain of rice and every vegetable, Peng Zhi drank a cold glass of water, laid down, and started to play games with his headphones on. Finally being separated from the world and able to relax, he breathed a sigh of relief.

“…”

“Honey, what should we eat tonight?”

Zhang Yuan, fresh from cleaning the bathroom, asked Li Ming cheerfully once she had finished tidying up.

“Anything you feel like making is fine.”

Li Ming waved carelessly, while Zhang Yuan thought, “Let’s have stew then. It’s a good way to use up leftover vegetables.”

“Sounds good.”

Li Ming nodded, watching Zhang Yuan bounce off joyfully towards the kitchen. He leaned back on the comfortable bed and started to train his restored mental power with a ground drilling bit.

“Swoosh…”

The drilling bit was much heavier than a usual bit, but Li Ming’s mental power had grown. He controlled it for nine minutes before running out of energy.

Zhang Yuan, wearing her kitchen apron, had washed the vegetables in preparation. Li Ming felt a surge of desire upon seeing her, but remembering how tired she must be, he suppressed these feelings.

Using this time, he started watching a Tai Chi tutorial video.

He’d only downloaded the common health version of Tai Chi. At first, Li Ming didn’t think it would serve any purpose until he practiced a similar form of health exercise called the Eight Pieces of Brocade…

He hoped that before Zhang Yuan finished cooking, he could finish a few lessons. After they had eaten and Zhang Yuan had cleaned up and prepared to rest, Li Ming continued watching.

He watched the whole series until there was a knock on the door.

Li Ming glanced to his side and saw Zhang Yuan, who had fallen asleep next to him on the bed. He looked around the room, which Zhang Yuan had cleaned spick and span and decided to head out to the living room.

Upon opening the door, he saw Chen Li, dressed in black, standing outside. When she saw Li Ming, she immediately smiled.

“These are the drill bits we ground today. It looks like we’ve used up all of them though.”

After handing over the box she was carrying to Li Ming, Chen Li entered the room, her figure attracting attention under the dim light.

During these apocalyptic times, each person needed to contribute. Even though her relationship with Li Ming was purely transactional, she naturally felt obliged to do a little more.

After all, Zhang Yuan, who left her husband to be with Li Ming, was doing all she could. There was no reason why Chen Li should slack off.

“You’ve both worked hard these days. Take some eggs home for the children when you leave later.”

Li Ming examined the drill bits and expressed satisfaction with a nod. He then turned around and spoke to Chen Li, smiling as he noticed something unusual about her.

Could it be…

Noticing something off about Chen Li, Li Ming couldn’t resist probing further.

“Why aren’t you wearing it?”

Li Ming asked, somewhat surprised.

“Every time I wear it, it ends up getting discarded somewhere. So, I just decided not to bother any more.”

With a hint of red on her face, Chen Li ran her fingers through her hair and responded with a laugh.

“Oh, let me see.”

Li Ming’s eyes brightened. He picked Chen Li up and started walking towards the door.

Chen Li looked confused, “Why are we going outside?”

“It’s cooler outside. Let’s try something different.”

Arriving at the window in the hallway with Chen Li in his arms, Li Ming nodded in satisfaction at the view outside, and then turned to Chen Li with a broad grin.

A blush flashed across Chen Li’s face before she shyly turned away to look at the scenery outside the window.

“You might want to clean up a bit after we’re done,” Li Ming suddenly whispered into her ear, while holding her close.

“…….”

One and a half hours later, Chen Li found herself, somewhat bewildered, standing in front of her own house with Li Ming.

“Wh…why?”

Feeling a bit weak in the knees, Chen Li turned to look at Li Ming, who had indeed brought her back to her own house, not his, and couldn’t help but ask.

“It’s nothing really, you have our kid to look after, and now that I have Zhang Yuan to sleep with me at night, you don’t need to stay with me anymore. However, don’t refuse when I want to see you.”

Li Ming pecked at her lips, followed by that remark, leaving Chen Li a bit flustered.

“Ah… alright then, thank you.”

Chen Li bit her lip, forcing herself to respond.

“It’s okay. You’ve been doing enough taking care of me during the day and at night. Now, go back and get some rest.”

Patting her butt, Li Ming then turned around and left with a smile.

Chen Li watched as Li Ming retreated into the distance, turned the key, and returned to her house.

Stumbling back into her room, relief washed over her when she saw her daughter sleeping peacefully. She went into the bathroom to wash off the distinct scent all over her before she climbed into bed.

Before falling asleep, she couldn’t help but take a look at her sleeping daughter and think of Li Ming. Sighing, she closed her eyes and began to rest peacefully.

……

When Li Ming got back home, he noticed that the room seemed to have been sprayed with air freshener and smelled really nice.

Zhang Yuan, newly washed and barefoot, lay on the bed playing with her phone. Seeing him return, she put away her phone with a sweet smile.

“You’re back. Where did you go just now?” she asked, standing up from the bed to wipe the sweat off Li Ming while smiling.

Even though she phrased it as a question, Li Ming knew exactly what was on her mind from her smiling expression.

“Now that you’re in the house, I clearly can’t bring her back here.”

Li Ming said this with a smile, causing Zhang Yuan to giggle and kiss him. After wiping away all his sweat, she joyfully jumped back on the bed, face down and legs up.

Smiling, Li Ming also jumped onto the bed next to her.

“Honey, I just took a bath…”

“I just want to touch…”

Li Ming found her long legs irresistible.

……

……

……

The next day.

After waking up in the morning, Zhang Yuan busily cleaned up and prepared breakfast, her cheeks flushed, while Li Ming continued to stretch his muscles in the living room.

“Honey, it looks like we’re almost out of gas… ”

We’re almost out of gas?
