Nothing To Give But My Heart

Hearing those words coming out from Xiao Su’s mouth made Jiang Xiaobai’s heart race. Her face was flaming red as she pushed him away. “I know, but aren’t you feeling unwell?”

“Didn’t you feed me some soup to sober up?”

“Yes, but it wasn’t long since I fed you.”

“I’m feeling better already.” Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ FindNøvᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“Don’t lie. How can you feel better so quickly?” Jiang Xiaobai interrupted him angrily. She chastised in a motherly tone, “I know it’s our wedding night, but since you’re not feeling well, I don’t want you to overexert yourself.” After saying that, Jiang Xiaobai got up and pulled the quilt over Xiao Su. She patted his cheeks and whispered, “Rest well.”

“Ah!” Xiao Su suddenly turned over and sat up, swooping to lift her in his arms. The move came out of nowhere, and Jiang Xiaobai’s reflex was to wrap her arms around Xiao Su’s neck. He then carried her all the way toward the bathroom. “Let me show you that I’m really feeling fine.”

…

Jiang Xiaobai had never thought that Xiao Su, who was still lying on the bed like a dead fish a while ago, could suddenly brim with energy. It might be the brew that she gave him, or maybe her words that had hurt his manly pride. Anyhow, Jiang Xiaobai had to pay dearly, for Xiao Su was only willing to let her go when it reached late midnight. She was so exhausted that she fell asleep without a care. She vaguely felt that someone was wiping her body with a hot towel extremely gently, and the warmth of the towel was just right. It made her fall into a deeper sleep.

By the time she woke up, it was already the next afternoon. She was too tired to even move her fingers, but she was feeling hungry. Her stomach was rumbling as she lay on the bed. She even started to feel a little dizzy. On top of being hungry, Jiang Xiaobai was also exhausted, so she just lay in bed with her eyelids half-closed. It went on until Xiao Su entered the room and heard her rumbling stomach. “You’re awake? Are you hungry?”

Jiang Xiaobai’s gaze changed as soon as she saw Xiao Su. She was glaring at him as if he was her enemy. It was all because of this b*stard that she was unable to get out of bed. As such, Jiang Xiaobai shut her eyes, ignoring his presence.

“I’ve made some porridge, would you like some?”

Hearing that, Jiang Xiaobai opened her eyes again and snorted. “Only if you feed me!”

Xiao Su turned and left the room. Jiang Xiaobai then took the opportunity to close her eyes and rest, until she smelled the fragrance of the food. She opened her eyes and eagerly watched Xiao Su approach her.

Xiao Su helped her to sit up and started to feed her. After only finishing half of the bowl, Jiang Xiaobai regained some strength and started to talk. “Did I wake up too late? Will Mom and Dad be mad at me?”

Hearing that, Xiao Su pursed his lips and blushed. “I don’t think so. After all, it’s under special circumstances.”

Jiang Xiaobai couldn’t help but pinch Xiao Su’s arm. “It’s all your fault. It wasn’t even our first time, why did you have to go so hard on me?”

Xiao Su covered his mouth and coughed lightly. It was because he could no longer hold himself back after looking at her in that beautiful wedding dress for the whole day. “Eat up.”

“Okay.”

Jiang Xiaobai was still feeling hungry after she had finished a bowl of porridge. Before Xiao Su was able to get up and refill it for her, she pulled his arm toward her and bit at it harshly. She deliberately bit him hard to make him pay for what she had to endure last night.

Without warning, Xiao Su placed the bowl on the chair next to him and threw her onto the bed. “Hey, what are you doing? Are you crazy?”

Xiao Su stared at her sternly, “You were trying to seduce me.”

“Was I?” Jiang Xiaobai rebuked. Her only intention was to take revenge against Xiao Su after what he did last night. She was afraid that she would injure him, so she didn’t bite him to the point where he was bleeding. She only wanted him to feel the pain. Was that even considered as seduction?

“You were.” Xiao Su insisted. He looked her right in the eye and said, “That was also considered as seduction. Now that we are legally married, you’d better not simply seduce me.”

Jiang Xiaobai was annoyed. “I’m already so tired; you might just tire me to death at this point!”

Although his words were harsh, Xiao Su felt bad seeing her so worn out that she didn’t even want to move. He helped her up whispering, “I was just teasing you. Do you want another bowl?”

“Sure!”

That day, Jiang Xiaobai ate an unprecedented three bowls of porridge. She proceeded to ask for another bowl, but was rejected by Xiao Su because he was worried that if she ate too much, it wouldn’t be good for her stomach. Jiang Xiaobai was so pissed that she ignored him. The worst thing was that Xiao Su even told her to get up and walk around because he thought that she had eaten too much.

Jiang Xiaobai was so annoyed with him. Didn’t you realize how much you’ve made me suffer? And now you’re asking me to go for a walk?

“I’m not going for a walk.” Jiang Xiaobai looked away. “I’m still hungry. I’m too weak to walk around.”

Xiao Su frowned. “Xiaobai, stop fooling around. You’ve eaten too much today.”

“Did I overeat? I was hungry. Besides, I only ate three bowls. It’ll be digested soon enough.” Jiang Xiaobai raised her eyebrows as she thought of an idea. She reached out her arms to Xiao Su. “I can go for a walk, but since my legs are tired, why don’t you carry me on your back?”

“You want a piggyback ride?”

“Yup.” Jiang Xiaobai nodded with a smile. “Didn’t you say that I should go for a walk to digest the food? But I don’t have the strength to walk. Wouldn’t it be the same if you carried me?”

Xiao Su was confused. “You want me to give you a piggyback ride to digest your food?” It was the first time Xiao Su had heard something so ridiculous. If he were to give Jiang Xiaobai a ride on his back, he would be the person who’d be using strength to walk around, and Jiang Xiaobai would just be changing her position from the bed onto his back. In actual fact, she would just be lying down somewhere else.

Xiao Su knew that she was still angry for what he did to her last night, so she was trying to be the devil’s advocate in order to punish him.

“Will you not agree? What about the letter of assurance we had yesterday? It’s just a small request, so what’s taking you so long?” Jiang Xiaobai raised her brows in an imposing manner.

Xiao Su obediently turned his back toward her. “Hop on. I’ll take you downstairs for a walk.”

Looking at his wide back, Jiang Xiaobai happily raised her brows and climbed onto it. Only then did she realize an embarrassing fact—she was still wearing Xiao Su’s shirt! Jiang Xiaobai immediately let go of him and went back onto the bed. “I don’t want to go anymore.”

Just the thought of having to change her clothes to go down for a walk made Jiang Xiaobai give up.

“What’s wrong?”

“Look at what I’m wearing. How can I go out like this? I don’t want to go out anymore; I want to sleep.” Jiang Xiaobai lay back on the bed and covered herself with the quilt.

Xiao Su could only stare at her helplessly.
