How I Pampered the Tyrant Into Devotion With My Space-Chapter 38: He Actually Feels Something for Her
Pei Shu’er used the iron pot and rice pot she bought to make a delicious meal, and with complete seasonings, everyone felt even more satisfied.
They just found out that Pei Shu’er was really good at cooking.
Liu Xu sincerely praised, "Shu’er, even an Imperial Chef can’t compare to your skills."
Pei Shu’er curled her lips into a smile, "Mom, you flatter me."
Tang Qingning laughed and said, "Sister-in-law, don’t be modest. This is the first time we’ve eaten such delicious food."
It’s not just because of hunger, but also because Pei Shu’er’s skills are genuinely good.
Even Tang Zan ate a bit more.
Because Pei Shu’er added chicken essence...
Of course, Pei Shu’er wouldn’t reveal this.
At night, it was terribly cold, and the wind howled fiercely.
Everyone else was huddled up from the cold.
At this time, Pei Shu’er pulled out a tightly wrapped bundle from her massive baggage.
She opened the bundle, and a big quilt appeared before everyone’s eyes.
Pei Shu’er waved to Liu Xu and Tang Qingning.
Then she held the two children in her arms, laying the quilt across, so more people could be covered.
This quilt made everyone envious.
Even someone as unemotional as Tang Zan couldn’t help but feel a bit envious.
It was really cold on this day.
Pei Shu’er was asleep when she suddenly felt a pair of eyes quietly watching her, feeling a chill down her back, she immediately sat up.
Then she saw Tang Zan’s face illuminated by the firelight.
Under the warm glow, Tang Zan’s sharp and gloomy face seemed softened, and his eyes were calmly watching her.
As if remembering something, she smiled, climbed out of the quilt wearing clothes.
"I forgot to treat your wound."
She realized Tang Zan is quite taciturn.
Or rather, he actually has some misgivings about her, so he rarely approaches her.
Pei Shu’er rolled up Tang Zan’s pant leg and saw the wound had healed somewhat, and even some of the flesh showed signs of regeneration.
It seems the Spiritual Spring Water is very effective.
She increased the proportion of Spiritual Spring Water, soon they would pass the cold zone.
There, Tang Zan’s foot injury would heal slower, even upon reaching the place of exile, his leg wouldn’t necessarily recover.
After all, Gulan Mountain is the coldest place.
After finishing with the injured leg, Pei Shu’er lightly touched Tang Zan’s shoulder with her finger.
"There’s also here."
Earlier, she noticed a slight smell of rot from Tang Zan’s shoulder.
Tang Zan felt like his heart was gently scratched by a cat’s paw, and he took a deep breath to suppress the itching in his heart.
He smoothly took off his coat, revealing the wound on his shoulder, which hadn’t healed properly, especially since Tang Zan had been carrying things all these days.
Instead, it had worsened.
Pei Shu’er snorted coldly, "Do you want to be completely crippled and turn into a total wastrel?"
It was Tang Zan’s first time seeing Pei Shu’er show some genuine emotion.
Quickly, Pei Shu’er collected her cold snort, reverting to her matter-of-fact attitude, and began treating Tang Zan’s shoulder wound.
After finishing up, Pei Shu’er said, "From now on, you won’t carry anything, let Lin Yu and the others carry. Your priority now is to recover from your injuries."
She noticed Tang Zan lowering his head and silently watching her.
Pei Shu’er added, "When we reach the place of exile, that’s when you’ll assume greater responsibilities, don’t forget, your family’s third branch relies on you."
She referred to "your family."
As for herself, once in exile, she planned to separate from Tang Zan, becoming relatively freer there, no longer needing to be tied with Tang Zan and the third branch.
By now, she had recruited six people who had proven their loyalty throughout the journey, so she didn’t need to use Tang Zan as a shield anymore.
Actually, in ancient times, she also wanted to experience a sweet romance.
As a girl, reading those travel novels, seeing the heroine fall in love with a Prince, an Emperor, a sect leader, or a General, she was quite envious.
But more than those, what she cares about is her own feelings.
She wasn’t as boy-crazy as during her teenage years, but she didn’t want to spend a lifetime tied to someone she didn’t love.
Enduring each other’s torment for life.
After finishing up, Pei Shu’er returned to sleep. Upon reaching her sleeping spot, Pei Shu’er noticed Tang Zan’s dark eyes still watching her.
She felt uneasy inside, took off her clothes, and tossed them to Tang Zan.
"My clothes are warm."
After saying this, she slipped back into the quilt.
The quilt had become warm from their sleep, and as soon as she entered, Tang Shuo and Tang Qinghuan snuggled into her embrace.
The two little ones giggled, "Sister-in-law, we’ll keep you warm."
She held the warm little bundles, sighing.
How wonderful, on such a cold day, having someone warm her quilt.
And they all have fine looks.
On the other side, Tang Zan held the clothes Pei Shu’er threw him, feeling the soft and delicate fabric.
Wildly he draped it over himself. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚
The roots of his ears turned slightly red, surrounded by a fragrance of a young girl.
That night, he seemed to fall asleep yet not asleep, dreaming of holding Pei Shu’er’s ankle, feeling the smooth texture under his touch, his heartbeat uncontrollable.
By the next morning upon waking, he noticed he was more reactive than usual.
Tang Zan: "..."
He couldn’t believe he reacted this way just because of this woman.
And merely her clothes at that.
Perhaps because she was the only somewhat attractive person around.
Everyone else was disheveled, emitting the persistent smell of sweat or stench, but she remained fragrant.
Her clothes were clean, hairstyle not extravagant, yet tidily arranged.
Of course, it’s normal for any man to react thus.
Couldn’t possibly be because of Pei Shu’er.
Tang Zan threw the clothes over, perfectly landing over Pei Shu’er’s head.
In a daze, Pei Shu’er glanced at Tang Zan with faintly watery peach blossom eyes, looking adorably confused.
Suddenly Tang Zan felt hotter.
He turned his head to the side.
Upon looking back, Pei Shu’er was curled up asleep holding those clothes.
Slightly annoyed, Tang Zan really wanted to yank her out of the quilt and give her a good scolding.
Why should only he be uncomfortable here?
That evening, after Pei Shu’er finished treating Tang Zan’s wounds, she didn’t leave.
She stood before Tang Zan, slightly leaned forward, whispering by Tang Zan’s ear.
"Tang Zan, how about we make a deal?"
Her breath tickled Tang Zan’s neck, darkening his eyes.
Tang Zan raised an eyebrow, his dark eyes looked at her, awaiting her continuation.
Pei Shu’er smiled, suggesting.
"I’ll heal your leg, you provide shelter, just protect me to the place of exile."
