Can You Hold Me?

Luo Feng finally made it to the hospital. While Qin Mengru was getting examined, he hurried to the restroom to adjust himself.

A tall, burly man over six feet approached from the side and casually glanced over.

He instantly sucked in a sharp breath and hurried away.

That was way too demoralizing!

Watching the man flee in embarrassment, Luo Feng suddenly felt an air of invincibility.

He had played even more outrageously in games, but reality was another matter. He did not want to get dragged off and dissected for research.

"Brother Feng, why are you here? Is Sister Li sick?"

The moment Luo Feng stepped out of the restroom, someone patted him on the shoulder. It was a pretty young nurse, nearly five foot seven, with a tall and slender figure.

"A friend hurt her ankle. It was an accident. Also, Li Li and I broke up."

The girl before him was Li Li's cousin, Li Xue'er.

She was a fourth-year nursing student at Shangcheng University and was interning at this top-tier hospital.

Her family was poor, and Luo Feng had taken good care of her throughout her years in college. He had directly paid her tuition when she first started university.

Later, when she insisted on taking part-time jobs to support herself, Luo Feng had also asked friends to help her find easy, well-paid work.

It was only after overhearing her cousin complain that she was giving her too much money that Li Xue'er learned Brother Feng had secretly covered half of it.

Luo Feng had not thought much of it. Though things had been difficult for him then, he still had some money.

College tuition cost less than an iPhone, so he had helped her out without a second thought.

"Ah? How could that happen..."

Li Xue'er had never expected her cousin to break up with such a wonderful Brother Feng.

Brother Feng might not have as much money as before, and he was not in as good shape as he used to be...

But surely they could not stay together when he had money and break up when he did not?

"We'll talk about it later. Go get back to work first."

Luo Feng did not want to discuss it further. Qin Mengru had just messaged him on WeChat to say her test results were out and she was going to have medicine applied.

"Okay, then. I'm on the morning shift tomorrow. I'll come find you after work, Brother Feng."

"Sure."

Li Xue'er waved to Luo Feng, then hurried back to the nurses' station. The head nurse had been urging her just now.

Watching Li Xue'er's graceful back, Luo Feng sighed at how much girls changed as they grew up. The shy little girl from back then had become a stunning beauty too.

He wondered which man would get lucky with her!

Qin Mengru spotted Luo Feng returning from afar and waved at him.

As soon as Luo Feng sat down, Qin Mengru naturally wrapped herself around his arm.

He sank in again. She had really been hiding her assets well.

"The doctor said it's nothing serious. They'll bandage it, apply some medicine, and I just need to take some anti-inflammatory pills."

Luo Feng nodded and put an arm around Qin Mengru as they headed toward the treatment area.

Twenty minutes later.

"Try not to get it wet. It should be mostly healed in around two days."

"It would be best if your husband carried you and didn't let you walk. That will help it heal faster."

After finishing up, the doctor said this to Luo Feng.

"I'm not—"

"Thank you, Doctor. Brother Feng, carry me."

Luo Feng had been about to clarify, but Qin Mengru interrupted him.

She blinked at him, looking playful and adorable.

A mature married woman like this...

Luo Feng's heartbeat skipped. A mature woman of Qin Mengru's caliber was simply too tempting.

He crouched down and carried Qin Mengru on his back. As he supported her bottom, he could feel its full, soft elasticity in his hands.

Then two soft masses mercilessly pressed against his back, filling him with solemn respect.

Good thing he had gone to the restroom to adjust himself earlier, or he would have embarrassed himself now.

After that, the two found a restaurant near the hospital and had a simple lunch.

By the time he brought Qin Mengru home, it was already three in the afternoon.

Qin Mengru lived in Crown Residential Area, a mid-to-high-end development near the Second Ring Road, where housing cost over thirty thousand per square meter.

Supporting Qin Mengru with one hand, he entered the passcode and opened the door with the other.

The place was nicely decorated: three bedrooms and a living room, around a hundred square meters, warmly furnished.

Luo Feng looked around and found no children's belongings or photos. It seemed she had not had any children.

"Brother Feng, put me on the sofa. There's soda water beside the TV."

Qin Mengru's voice sounded beside Luo Feng's ear, soft and gentle, like a massage for his ears.

He carefully set Qin Mengru down, though some unavoidable close contact occurred in the process.

A lone man and woman, an ambiguous atmosphere, and his body reacted again.

Then Qin Mengru saw it again, leaving Luo Feng awkward.

This Body Strengthening Potion actually came with the effects of a certain little blue pill!

You're putting me in an impossible position. I'm really not that kind of person!

He hurriedly grabbed a bottle of water and drained it in one gulp.

"Is there no one else at home?"

"You should call your husband back. Otherwise, there'll be no one to take care of you, and that'll be very inconvenient."

Luo Feng started stirring the pot again. He did indeed have some improper thoughts, but only if she was willing.

Qin Mengru's originally excited mood immediately sank, and her eyes dimmed.

"He usually gets back after ten at night. I'll be fine at home by myself."

She took out her phone and found many messages.

The first was from someone named Yang Qing: Working overtime tonight. I'm not coming back today.

Qin Mengru sighed. This life was like being a living widow.

"Then I'll head out first."

Luo Feng did not linger. It seemed she had no intention of doing anything with him.

"Goodbye, Brother Luo. I'll treat you to a meal in a few days."

Qin Mengru actually wanted Luo Feng to stay a while longer, but if he stayed any longer, something beyond friendship might happen.

They had known each other for less than six hours, and she was a married woman.

When she comforted herself alone, it was enough just to fantasize about certain things.

Luo Feng nodded and walked toward the door.

Qin Mengru felt somewhat disappointed. Then she opened another message from her best friend, containing several pictures.

When she tapped them open, they were photos of her husband being intimate with another woman at a restaurant.

The last photo showed the two holding hands as they entered a hotel!

"Brother Feng!"

Qin Mengru took a deep breath and shouted loudly.

Luo Feng had already turned the doorknob. He turned back and looked at Qin Mengru in confusion.

Qin Mengru came from a well-off family, standard middle class.

She had excelled in both academics and conduct since childhood, and her parents had been strict. Although people had confessed to her in high school and she had felt moved before, she had never dared to date.

She had been her parents' obedient daughter and had never gone against their arrangements. After graduating, she worked in administrative management at a company arranged by her parents.

Later, she had been introduced to Yang Qing, and then they got married...

But she had never become pregnant or had children.

She had gone for checkups many times, and there was nothing wrong with her body. When she asked Yang Qing to get checked, he always claimed he was too busy.

Later, intimacy between the couple became nearly nonexistent, and over the past two years, it had stopped altogether.

She had taken the initiative, even bought intimate items online, but she had always been rejected.

Her parents had also been asking why she still had not had children, but how could she explain it?

After holding onto her marriage for so many years, all she received was his betrayal.

Qin Mengru could not say what she was thinking now. She only wanted to be her true self and no longer be restrained.

"I'm a little cold. Brother Feng, can you hold me?"

Luo Feng closed the door and locked it behind him.

"Did something happen?"

Luo Feng gently lifted Qin Mengru into his arms.

Qin Mengru said nothing and wrapped both arms around Luo Feng's neck.

Then Luo Feng's lips were covered by softness, sweet and fragrant.

Qin Mengru's eyes were hazy, and the seductive charm of a mature woman shone through completely.

Having endured for several hours already, Luo Feng stopped holding back.

This Body Strengthening Potion had one hour left. He had to make good use of it.
