Chapter 787 — Taking Care Of Meixiu

"Why would I mind?" Yuan said as he walked next to Meixiu so that he could support her.

Meixiu wrapped her arm around his neck while Yuan held her by the waist, walking her to the bathroom.

Once they were inside the bathroom, Meixiu removed her bath towel and sat down on a small wooden chair.

"Can you hold the shower head for me?"

"Sure."

Yuan took the shower head and started rinsing her body.

"Okay, that's enough." She said a moment later.

"Should I wash your back now?" Yuan asked.

Seeing Meixiu nod her head, Yuan squeezed some body wash onto his palms before he started washing Meixiu's back with his bare hands.

'Her skin is so smooth…' Yuan thought to himself, and he couldn't help but recall the time when their naked bodies embraced each other.

Once Meixiu's whole back was covered in soap, Yuan said, "Okay, I am done."

However, Meixiu remained silent.

"Meixiu? Are you okay?" Yuan quickly asked her in a worried voice.

"Y-Yes. Sorry, I dazed out just now." She responded in a low voice.

Then she said, "Yuan… Can I ask you to wash my front as well?"

Perhaps it was because of her fever, or maybe it was because of the sensation of Yuan's hands on her back just now, but she felt hotter than usual, and that made her bolder than usual.

"T-The front? Of course…" Yuan was a little surprised to hear such a request, but he didn't refuse.

"Thank you…"

Yuan squeezed more body wash onto his palms before moving to the front, where he could see the best features on Meixiu's naked body.

After swallowing nervously, Yuan began washing Meixiu's front.

He started with her neck before going down to her breasts, then stomach.

Once he reached her legs, Meixiu willingly spread her legs for him.

Yuan took another deep breath before washing her legs, slowly moving towards the slit between her legs.

"Mmm…" Meixiu suddenly released a gentle moan when Yuan's fingers began rubbing against her sensitive spot.

When he heard this beautiful sound that tickled his ears and heart, Yuan's movement sped up a little, almost as though it was trying to match the pace of his heart that was also speeding up.

Meixiu's moans also got more constant and louder as the sensation of Yuan rubbing her slit became more intense.

A few moments later, when Yuan realized what he was doing, he quickly stopped and pulled his hand back.

"S-Sorry, my body acted on its own just now…" He apologized.

"It's okay. I didn't dislike it either." She said with a gentle smile on her face.

Yuan swallowed hard after hearing her words.

"A-Anyways, let me rinse you off before you catch a cold."

Thus, he quickly began rinsing her body until there was no more soap left.

After helping her dry her body, Yuan carried Meixiu back to her bed, where he also helped her change into her pajamas.

"After helping you today, I understand the efforts it requires to take care of someone. I won't say that I understand the efforts you and Yu Rou put to take care of me, but I understand that it's not an easy thing to do, yet the both of you make it look so easy."

"Anyways, get some rest, Meixiu. I will be here if you need me." Yuan said to her.

However, when he tried to leave, Meixiu suddenly grabbed his hand.

"What's the matter?" He asked her.

"My body… It's very hot… Help me… Calm it down…" Meixiu said as she stared at him with a charming gaze.

"Calm you down? How do I—"

Meixiu suddenly regained some of her strength and pulled Yuan onto her.

"Yuan… Let's have sex…" she whispered to him.

Yuan's jaw dropped open after hearing her flabbergasting words, and he quickly said, "W-We can't. You have a fever, and you need to rest now."

"I can't rest with a restless body… Just for a while, okay?" Meixiu looked at him with these pleading eyes that could instantly melt even the coldest men out there.

However, Yuan remained unfazed and sighed, "Just endure it for now. Your body is too weak to do anything right now. Once you have fully recovered, if you still want to, uh… have sex… we can do it for as long as you want…"

"You promise?"

"I promise." He nodded vigorously.

Meixiu didn't say anything else and closed her eyes, quickly falling asleep.

Yuan released a sigh of relief afterward.

He then sat a few meters away from the bed and started to cultivate in silence.

Meixiu woke up a few hours later and said, "Yuan… I'm hungry…"

"I will tell the Qi Family to cook something for you." Yuan said before going outside, where a servant was on standby, and he explained the situation to her.

"I understand. We will have something cooked as soon as possible." The servant bowed to him before running off to find a chief.

Half an hour later, the servant returned with a bowl of rice porridge and handed it to Yuan.

"Can you feed me?" Meixiu asked him.

"Of course." Yuan agreed, and he started spoon feeding her the rice porridge.

Once Meixiu cleared the bowl of rice porridge, she laid back down on the bed and said, "Yuan, can you give me a kiss?"

"…Sure."

He gave her a gentle kiss on the lips.

Despite Meixiu acting a little weird and more demanding than usual, Yuan didn't mind it at all, and he even found it a little bit refreshing. After all, Meixiu was raised to keep everything to herself, and that included her desires, so she rarely asks for anything.

Once Meixiu fell asleep again, Yuan returned to his cultivation.

However, Meixiu wouldn't fully recover until two days later, and during this time, Yuan was the one who took care of her every need, just like how she took care of him when he couldn't move his body.

No matter her request— with a few shameless exceptions that her body wouldn't be able to handle at its condition, Yuan did everything Meixiu wanted with no questions asked.

With this new experience, Yuan learned that he really enjoyed taking care of others, as it made him feel useful in another sense, and he felt that he was finally returning favors to Meixiu, who took care of him when he needed it the most.
