Chapter 156: The Consequences of Riding a Horse
Chapter 156
Riding a horse is enjoyable for a moment, but afterwards the thighs ache.
After dismounting, Song Luokui's walk became slightly strange. Earlier, she had already ridden a small horse for two rounds, and then sat on Chi Yu's large horse for a few more rounds, causing her thighs to ache terribly. She felt that the area near the top of her thighs might have been chafed.
Chi Yu noticed, "Are you alright?"
Song Luokui felt that area was a little embarrassing, "I'm okay, just a bit sore and achy."
Chi Yu simply picked her up, "I'll massage you when we get back."
Upon returning to ChunWang Manor, Chi Yu took her straight to his quarters. On the way back, he had already instructed the chef to prepare a meal, so they could eat as soon as they arrived home.
During the meal, Song Luokui seemed a bit distracted, mainly because her thighs were truly aching. Seeing that she was eating little, Chi Yu did not force her to eat more, only instructing someone to make small cakes and place them in the fridge. There was still warm chicken soup on the stove, so she could eat if she got hungry later that night.
After the meal, Chi Yu placed his hand on her thigh and gave it a squeeze, causing Song Luokui to let out a painful yelp, her eyes welling up with tears.
Chi Yu sensed something was amiss and immediately guessed what it might be. He carried her straight to the bedroom, "Be good, take off your pants so I can take a look."
Song Luokui's face turned beet red. The pain was no longer her concern as she folded her legs inward, "I'm fine. No need to look."
Chi Yu frowned, "Listen to me, let me take a look to help you."
Song Luokui: "...But, but, it's so embarrassing." Her voice grew softer with each word.
Chi Yu seemed to realize something and suddenly felt a bit hot. He stood up, "I'll go get you a dress."
Chi Yu went and brought her a short dress for her to change into. Song Luokui changed under the covers and only came out, red-faced, after putting it on.
As she moved, her legs ached terribly again, causing Song Luokui to furrow her brow and let out a pained "Hiss hiss hiss."
Chi Yu immediately looked over, crouched down, and spread her legs to examine them. On her fair, creamy thighs was a reddened, bleeding spot where the skin had been chafed from horseback riding.
Chi Yu swiftly went to retrieve the first aid kit. Song Luokui's ears and neck were flushed crimson as she pressed down on her dress with her hands.
As the iodine solution was applied, Song Luokui's entire leg jolted, the pain causing tears to well up again. "Ow~"
Chi Yu's hand stopped, his heart aching for her, "Should I call a doctor?"
Upon hearing this, Song Luokui replied, "It's fine, you can do it." It wasn't that serious, only that her delicate skin made it appear worse than it was. Song Luokui gripped a pillow with one hand, "I can bear it, you can keep applying it."
Seeing her insistence, Chi Yu continued treating her. Song Luokui bit her lip, trying her best not to make a sound, only gripping the pillow tighter with the hand holding down her dress. With this motion, her dress rode up slightly. Chi Yu's hand paused as he swallowed hard...
After a long struggle, Chi Yu finally finished treating her wound. They were both drenched in sweat, one from pain, the other from...
Chi Yu cleaned up, washed his hands, then came over and gently wiped away her tears. Seeing her reddened, bitten lips, he leaned down and gave them a lick before deepening the kiss...
After a while, Chi Yu kissed her eyes, "Want to rest for a bit?"
Song Luokui shook her head, not feeling sleepy.
Chi Yu: "Then watch TV?"
Song Luokui nodded.
Chi Yu turned on the TV beside the bed. The two leaned against the headboard watching it. Midway, Chi Yu received a call, stepped out to get his laptop, and sat working on it while Song Luokui watched TV intently.
It got quite late. Song Luokui wanted to take a shower, or at least freshen up if she couldn't fully bathe. As she moved, Chi Yu looked over, "What's wrong?"
A little embarrassed, Song Luokui said, "I want to freshen up a bit."
Chi Yu stood right up, "I'll go draw you a hot bath."
The hot bath was ready quickly. Chi Yu carried her straight into the bathroom and sat her on a small stool by the tub, bringing her clothes and everything she needed in with them. "Call me if you need anything, I'll be right outside."
"Okay."
On the other side, Song Luosheng knew she was still at Unnamed Mountain Lake and called her immediately. Chi Yu answered and informed the Song Luokui inside, then put the call on speaker for her to listen.
"Don't tell me you're in my sister's room right now," Song Luosheng said sternly.
Chi Yu: "She chafed her legs horseback riding today, so she's with me as I care for her."
Song Luosheng thought about how Song Luokui had mentioned meeting up with Su Congrong that morning and immediately guessed they must have gone horseback riding together.
"You should take her back home. Aunt Gui is there to care for her."
Chi Yu: "The elderly can't be expected to watch over her all night, can they?"
Song Luosheng: "If not, there are still female bodyguards around. What business do you have getting involved?"
Chi Yu: "I'm her boyfriend, so it is my business."
As Song Luokui emerged, she overheard the two arguing. Seeing her, Chi Yu immediately put down the phone and carried her, "Why did you walk out on your own? Let me carry you back to bed."
Song Luosheng shouted from the other end, "What are you going to do to my precious Luokui?"
Chi Yu: "...She's injured. What could I possibly do to her? I'm not a beast."
Song Luosheng: "...Fine, just take good care of Luokui. If anything happens to her, I won't let you off easy."
Song Luokui immediately took the phone from Chi Yu's hand, "Brother, I'm fine."
Song Luosheng: "Luokui, are you in pain?"
Song Luokui: "No pain, I'm alright. You're busy, Chi Yu will take care of me."
Song Luosheng sighed, "My little sister is all grown up and doesn't need her brother anymore."
Song Luokui immediately turned coy, "No way, I still need my brother. You're on a business trip, right? Remember to buy me a gift."
Song Luosheng: "I will, I definitely will."
"Thank you, brother."
Before hanging up, Song Luosheng issued another warning to Chi Yu.
After the call ended, Song Luokui looked at Chi Yu, "Sorry about that, my brother just worries about me."
Chi Yu: "I know." If he had a little sister, he would worry too. He stroked her head, "Get some rest now."
"Okay."
The next morning when she woke up, Song Luokui's legs felt even more sore and achy, but the wound had healed considerably. Chi Yu wanted to carry her, but she refused, "No need, I can walk myself. I'm not that feeble."
Chi Yu supported her, "If you want to be pampered, you have every right to be pampered."
Song Luokui thought it made sense but still didn't let Chi Yu carry her. Maybe walking a bit would help.
"Why aren't you going to work today?" Song Luokui asked curiously.
Chi Yu: "If I'm not there, the company might as well not operate. It can't run without me."
Song Luokui thought to herself that she had been going to the company less often lately. However, today she didn't go to the company, and Li Bei brought some documents from the company. She also knew that her boss had a boyfriend, and she had even heard that he was the boss of the Shan Yu Group.
She had seen him a few times before, but she didn't expect that when she came to ChunWang Manor, she wouldn't be entering her boss's home, but rather her boss's boyfriend's home across the street.
Previously, she knew that someone had bought the place across the street, and it turned out it was her boss's boyfriend who bought it!
Just as she arrived, she saw her boss and her boyfriend, who was also the boss of the Shan Yu Group, sitting on the sofa. The Shan Yu boss was even peeling an orange for her boss, holding it in front of her so she could spit out the seeds.
When Li Bei came in, Song Luokui waved her over, "Come and sit down."
