She's a shrewd and sweet woman who transmigrated into a book.

Chapter 128 Scalded by Hot Water

Leng Yunting picked up his son, washed his bottom, and changed his diaper. Only then did the boy stop whimpering.

Whether it's a son or a daughter, if they're even slightly unclean, they'll definitely whine and complain.

The little guy is so clean; Liu Jingyi said he inherited it from Leng Yunting.

Sometimes he would even say that when the two little ones grow up, they might also have obsessive-compulsive disorder related to cleanliness, just like him.

At those times, Leng Yunting would remain silent to avoid the conflict shifting to him.

Leng Yunting coaxed his son back to sleep, then tucked the sleeping Liu Jingyi back into bed before going to wash up himself.

It was still early, and the little ones wouldn't wake up anytime soon, so we went to the study next door.

When Leng Yunting finished his work, he heard footsteps coming downstairs.

It was a stumbling, but very soft sound.

I couldn't tell who it was just by listening to the voice.

Leng Yunting got up and left the study, then saw Liu Jingyi's swaying figure quickly walking into the kitchen.

Leng Yunting was behind her and couldn't tell if she was awake or sleepwalking, but he was still worried that she might bump into something.

I hurried downstairs.

Before he could even feel it, he heard Liu Jingyi hissing as if her tongue had been burned.

By this time, Liu Jingyi had been fully awakened by the scalding.

She ate way too much tonight. She prefers strong flavors, so the food prepared today was all her favorites. She woke up thirsty in the middle of the night.

In her daze, she tried to call Leng Yunting to get her some water, but received no response.

In her drowsy state, she could only vaguely make her way downstairs by herself.

I picked up the kettle and poured myself a glass of water.

Before Leng Yunting could even say anything to stop her, Liu Jingyi drank it without a second thought.

As a result, I didn't get to drink any water, and my tongue felt like it was about to be burned off.

Leng Yunting hurriedly went over and used his hands to pry open Liu Jingyi's mouth to look.

Liu Jingyi had already sobered up. She covered her mouth, feeling too embarrassed to let him see.

Leng Yunting looked anxious, and spoke a little hastily and sternly: "Yiyi, open your mouth so I can see if it's hot."

He pulled down Liu Jingyi's hand that was covering her face, and then pinched her cheek, forcing her to open her mouth.

Leng Yunting examined it carefully and found that it was just a little red, but there were no blisters, so he was relieved.

He casually poured her a glass of cold water and handed it to her: "Drink something cold first to calm your nerves. Why didn't you ask me to pour you some when you were thirsty? You came down here by yourself."

Liu Jingyi knew he was worried about her, so she didn't pay much attention to his tone.

After drinking a glass of cool boiled water, Liu Jingyi felt much better and the pain wasn't as bad as before.

She looked at him with a pitiful expression and said, "I called out and touched the side, but you weren't there, so I came down by myself."

Liu Jingyi's voice was sticky and slurred due to the pain.

Leng Yunting felt a pang of heartache.

"It's my fault, I forgot the time while working. How are you feeling? Are you feeling better?"

Although it didn't hurt as much anymore, her tongue was still numb, and she frowned.

"There's medicine in the room. You can take a pill and go to sleep later," Leng Yunting said, looking at her scrunched-up face.

Liu Jingyi nodded.

After Leng Yunting carried her upstairs, he found the pills and handed them to her.

Liu Jingyi had readily agreed, but now that the medicine had been found, she was having second thoughts.

She was afraid of hardship.

"Is it bitter? Can I not eat it? I feel like I'm not in pain anymore, I... sob sob..."

Before Liu Jingyi could finish speaking, Leng Yunting, as if he had already anticipated it, quickly stuffed the pill into her mouth while she was speaking.

"Be good, hold it in your mouth for a while." The pill was already in her mouth, so Liu Jingyi could only obediently hold it in.

Liu Jingyi was just too thirsty, and she was also half asleep, so she didn't react for a moment.

The pill feels much better now that I have it in my mouth, and my tongue isn't numb anymore.

After a long while, Leng Yunting looked again and found that it wasn't so red anymore, and there were no signs of blistering. Only then did he feel relieved.

After the commotion, Liu Jingyi was no longer as sleepy as before.

Why did you come down? Did I disturb you?

“I had just finished work when I heard the sound. I followed you and saw you go to the kitchen. Before I could stop you, you put the water in your mouth.”

"Okay! Go to sleep! It's still early."

"Let me see Ling'er and Sheng'er."

“I changed their diapers. You were sleeping soundly, so I fed you some formula. You can continue sleeping.”

Liu Jingyi nodded.

Winters are quite cold, especially in the capital city.

Even if Liu Jingyi stayed far away from Leng Yunting before going to sleep, she would still be in his arms when she opened her eyes the next day.

Leng Yunting is like a natural heater.

Liu Jingyi wondered why she should refuse, since she was working openly and legally with a license.

However, as soon as the weather gets even slightly warmer, Liu Jingyi will discard him and push him far away.

It was obvious that Leng Yunting was too hot.

Liu Jingyi lifted the covers and tucked herself into them. Before falling asleep, she wondered if she had kissed him just now, but she quickly shook her head.

There probably isn't; it's just something I'm dreaming about.

If Leng Yunting knew what she was thinking right now, he would definitely tell her triumphantly that it was true.

Of course, even if it were true, Liu Jingyi would not admit it.

That's just how she cheats.

After Liu Jingyi fell asleep, Leng Yunting first covered his son, who liked to glare at the blanket, with the blanket.

Leng Yunting once thought that his son's habit of kicking off the blankets was really inherited from Liu Jingyi.

Liu Jingyi was always like this, and Leng Yunting would cover her up countless times a night.

Every morning when I talk to her.

Liu Jingyi always had an air of nonchalance, as if she were asleep; who could control that?

Now there's one more, and Leng Yunting has a look of both joy and pain on his face.

Leng Yunting went downstairs and filled another thermos with water, mixing hot water with cooled boiled water.

The temperature was just right, neither too hot nor too cold.

That way, if Liu Jingyi gets thirsty again, she can have some to drink.

After finishing everything, Leng Yunting held Liu Jingyi in his arms again, and they both fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, all the people in the compound who had taken the exam with Liu Jingyi also came out.

Although everyone had a good foundation, it was impossible for them to completely ignore the books, so before the exam, they all stayed at home and studied hard.

Everyone gathered together, and they were all discussing the exam.

They all spoke with great confidence, believing they would definitely get into the best university in the capital.

"Didn't Director Qin's daughter-in-law also participate? Why didn't they say a word?"

"You know perfectly well that her daughter-in-law is pretty, but she's from the countryside, so her studies are probably just average!"

"Yeah, I guess he didn't do well on the test!"

"You can't say that. The majority of people don't pass the exam. If everyone could pass, what would be the point of the country reinstating the college entrance exam?"

Liu Jingyi: It's all your fault, you made me burn myself!
Leng Yunting: Yes, yes, it's all my fault. I'll prepare water for you every day from now on!
