Chapter 294 - A Morning Round?

It had been a long night but it was surprisingly one of the best sleeps that Feng Xuan have had in a while. She slept peacefully, her n.a.k.e.d body pressing against Qing Chen's. He had his arm around her and they were tangled in the sheets.

They made sure to pull the heavy curtains on their floor to ceiling windows so they would not get disturbed by the morning light. When Feng Xuan woke up, it was already noon but their bedroom was still dark like it was already sundown.

One of the first things that she noticed was that her body felt sore. Just sore. This was how her body felt like when she was under the strenuous training on her first day at Master's training camp.

It was like all her muscles were stretched—oh wait, they WERE all stretched last night. She tried moving her shoulders. Probably the best representation of her situation was that it felt like she was coming down with a flu. Qing Chen did not even let her do the hardwork last night because of her injuries. She could only imagine the tiredness he was feeling.

She looked up at him and saw him still peacefully sleeping. Her eyes were begging her to close them again but she was already feeling hungry. She grabbed her phone from the nightstand and spent a few minutes looking for food and arranged its delivery.

She was feeling more awake now. She pinched the bridge of Qing Chen's nose and he shook his head. He didn't open his eyes but he shifted his body and turned to hug her, burying his face on her hair.

She nudged him on the shoulder. "Qing Chen?"

"Hmm?"

"Wake up. I already ordered for lunch."

"Lunch? I want to sleep until dinner."

"Well, I can't. I'm hungry."

He groaned and protested by pulling her closer to him, lifting the blanket and cover them with it. Everything turned dark again and Feng Xuan was tempted to slip in a few more minutes of shut eye but she knew that if she stayed in the bed longer, it would be as Qing Chen said: they would be really waking up by dinnertime.

She groaned too and kicked on the blankets. "I want to sleep too. But I'm so hungry."

"What a dilemma," he commented.

"Well, I'm going to get up and run a hot bath for my muscles. I'm aching all over." 

"And you think I'm not?" Qing Chen pressed a kiss on her forehead. "Here's the deal, we're going to take a hot bath and get the food when it arrives. Then we're going to stay in bed the whole day. We'll watch some bad TV and make love in between."

Feng Xuan laughed. "You're nuts. Haven't you already had enough last night?"

Qing Chen pulled her to him gently. "I actually need to take you to the hospital for an x-ray."

"I don't feel like going to the hospital right now."

"Would you rather that I bring the x-ray machine here?"

Feng Xuan grinned. "Would that be possible?"

"I don't think that's suggested," Qing Chen muttered. "But, I think they have portable ones."

Feng Xuan shook her head. "We can go to the hospital tomorrow. Please, I really don't want to get up. If I don't smell I probably would not want to take a shower."

"You don't smell like anything."

She did a sniff test. "I smell like sweat."

"No, you smell like s.e.x."

"What does that mean?"

Qing Chen chuckled and pulled the covers off of them. "Want a morning round?"

She looked down and saw that he was already ready. "I'm tired. I am sure you are too."

"I was just kidding," he sighed and pulled at his hair then rubbed his eyes. "Come on."

Feng Xuan raised her hands and Qing Chen let her put her arms around him and then lifted her. "Let's get that shower."

When she was finally under the hot water, all she could think about was how good it felt like to unknot her muscles. "I think we should get a massage."

"Definitely, after we know what's happening to your ribs."

She checked the bluish purple spot on her side. "It's actually feeling loads better."

Qing Chen inspected it but Feng Xuan covered his eyes. "What?"

"You're looking at something else."

He smiled. "It's in the way." He pulled her hand away and inspected it closer. "I think you really do have a fractured rib. Maybe two. I'll get the ice and some painkillers." He bent down and pressed a kiss on her lips. "I'll be back. Enjoy the shower."

Feng Xuan just let the water ran down her body, letting it go into every crevice of her skin. Last night had been amazing. It was an experience like no other. She was so glad that she waited until she was married—and until she was sure that she was in love with Qing Chen. If they had done it too early, it probably wouldn't have the same effect as last night.

She touched her stomach. They didn't use a single protection last night. She was pretty sure that everything came out of her anyways when Qing Chen pulls out. But there was a high chance that she could get pregnant, right?

Should she start tracking her period and all that? When they said that they were going to start a family, did they mean it in a way that they were going start immediately?

Feng Xuan turned to the door because she heard it opening.

"I already got everything," Qing Chen said, already dressed in a clean shirt. "But take your time."

She nodded and pulled a smile on her face.

She turned the shower off and quickly dried herself and tied a robe around her body. She went out while toweling her hair. Qing Chen was already seated and the food was in the middle of the bed.

"We need to talk."
