Song Qinian never expected that one day she would hear the words "legal couple" from Shen Chi Yan's mouth.
It was also fortunate that he remembered they were a legal couple.
Looking up and seeing it was past nine o'clock, Song Qinian's expression changed slightly. The old lady had a regular schedule, going to bed at ten in the evening and getting up at six in the morning.
When there were no younger generation members at home, the breakfast time at the old house was seven o'clock.
After Song Qinian and Shen Ke Qin moved in, the old lady changed the time to eight o'clock to allow them to rest a little longer.
And now it was already half-past eight. Song Qinian dared not be lazy in bed any longer and immediately got up and got out of bed.
As soon as she rushed into the bathroom, Song Qinian felt embarrassed.
During this period, Shen Ke Qin had been helping her with her washing and brushing her teeth. Now that Shen Ke Qin had run away, what should she do?
She couldn't not brush her teeth, so…
Song Qinian looked at her fingers and picked up the toothbrush with difficulty.
As long as she brushed her teeth carefully, her hands should be fine.
Just as she was about to squeeze toothpaste, a beautiful, slender hand reached out and snatched the toothbrush from her hand.
Song Qinian turned her head and saw Shen Chi Yan squeezing toothpaste for her. "Open your mouth."
Song Qinian's eyes widened in surprise. He… he wasn't going to brush her teeth, was he?
Seeing that Song Qinian didn't move for a long time, Shen Chi Yan seemed a little impatient. "Hurry up!"
Shen Chi Yan had never served her before. Without thinking, Song Qinian immediately opened her mouth wide, and Shen Chi Yan inserted the electric toothbrush into it.
Shen Chi Yan's movements were not exactly gentle, but they were not heavy either. Song Qinian quietly watched him, feeling a moment of daze.
Had this person been possessed?
Why was he suddenly so good to her?
Or was he finally feeling guilty?
"If you keep staring at me like that, I'll pull out your teeth!"
Song Qinian immediately lowered her eyes and stopped looking at Shen Chi Yan.
Shen Chi Yan looked at the obedient Song Qinian, but in his mind, he was thinking of the stubborn her who refused to bow her head.
This person… sometimes obedient and well-behaved, and sometimes infuriating, which one was the real her!
After brushing her teeth and rinsing her mouth, Shen Chi Yan kicked Song Qinian out of the bathroom.
When Song Qinian went downstairs, everyone who saw her smiled and covered their mouths, with a "we all understand" expression.
Shen Ke Qin ran to Song Qinian and teased, "Oh, sister-in-law, you're finally up. Did you sleep well last night?"
Song Qinian couldn't explain, and her face turned red.
It was the old lady who came to her rescue. "Alright, alright, let your sister-in-law have breakfast first."
After Song Qinian finished breakfast, Shen Chi Yan came down from the second floor.
"Grandma…"
The old lady responded indifferently, clearly still upset.
Today was Wednesday, but Shen Chi Yan was not in a hurry to go to work.
Seeing this, the old lady said to Shen Ke Qin, who was looking at her phone, "Qin Qin, Nian Nian needs her medicine applied."
"Oh… Dr. Ouyang hasn't arrived yet?"
"Dr. Ouyang has something to do today. You apply the medicine for Nian Nian."
"Ah… I… I can do it?"
"It's just applying medicine, what's so difficult about it."
Just as Shen Ke Qin was about to speak, she saw her grandmother give her a wink and immediately understood. She took out the medicine box and pulled Song Qinian to the sofa.
"Sister-in-law, although it's my first time applying medicine, I've seen pigs run even if I haven't eaten pork. I won't hurt you."
Song Qinian naturally believed Shen Ke Qin. Although Shen Ke Qin seemed carefree, she was quite reliable when it came to doing things.
Moreover, if it weren't for Qin Qin taking care of her during this time, she wouldn't have known what to do.
Shen Ke Qin picked up the scissors and began to cut the gauze on Song Qinian's finger.
However, Shen Ke Qin had been pampered since she was a child, so how could she use scissors?
Mimicking others, she held the scissors and cut, accidentally touching Song Qinian's wound.
Song Qinian immediately flinched in pain.
"Oh, sister-in-law, I'm so sorry. It's my first time using scissors, and I'm not very skilled."
Song Qinian gave her a reassuring smile.
Shen Ke Qin patted her chest and promised, "Don't worry, don't worry, I'll be careful this time."
As she spoke, Shen Ke Qin secretly glanced at Shen Chi Yan.
Shen Chi Yan was wearing a white t-shirt and was flipping through a magazine.
Although his eyes were on the magazine, his brows were furrowed, and his attention was elsewhere.
A hint of cunning appeared in Shen Ke Qin's eyes, and she carelessly touched Song Qinian's wound again.
Song Qinian: "…"
She wanted to retract her words about Shen Ke Qin being reliable.
After a few more times, Shen Chi Yan slammed the magazine shut and looked at Shen Ke Qin with a cold expression. "Put down the scissors! Go somewhere cool and stay there!"
"No, I still need to apply medicine to sister-in-law!"
Shen Chi Yan walked over to them with a stern face. "Give me the scissors!"
Seeing this, Shen Ke Qin handed over the scissors without any hesitation.
Shen Chi Yan took the scissors and sat down beside Song Qinian.
The old lady and Shen Ke Qin exchanged a look, and then watched the show from the side.
Song Qinian didn't expect things to escalate to Shen Chi Yan helping her change her dressing. When Shen Chi Yan's cool hand touched her finger, her fingertips trembled slightly.
A jolt of electricity spread through her limbs.
Shen Chi Yan's expression was not very pleasant, but his movements were gentle enough.
The gauze was cut open one by one, and Shen Chi Yan saw Song Qinian's fingers with his own eyes.
Because of the stitches, her once beautiful, fair, and slender fingers were covered with hideous, centipede-like scars.
Seeing Shen Chi Yan's gaze fall on the ugly scars, Song Qinian instinctively wanted to hide them.
No girl wanted her beloved man to see her ugly side, even if it was just a finger.
Shen Chi Yan grabbed Song Qinian's wrist and pulled her hand over. "Don't move!"
Every time Shen Ke Qin saw the scars on Song Qinian's fingers, she felt very distressed. "Alas, sister-in-law's hands are so beautiful, they can't be scarred! How strange, the scars on other fingers are not so severe, why is the ring finger so badly injured?"
Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something and her eyes lit up. "Right, brother, you and sister-in-law have been married for so many years, but you haven't bought her a wedding ring yet. If you wear a ring, the scars will be covered, won't they?"
As soon as she said this, the living room fell silent.
Shen Ke Qin was quite afraid of Shen Chi Yan. Just then, her phone rang, and she immediately said, "Brother, then you help me apply medicine to sister-in-law. Lin Miaomiao has asked me to go out and play. I'm leaving now."
With that, she bolted away, giving Shen Chi Yan no chance to deal with her.
The old lady cast a knowing glance at Shen Chi Yan. Although her sharp eyes were on the TV, her words were directed at Shen Chi Yan. "Speaking of which, you and Nian Nian didn't have a wedding when you got married. It's been three years, shouldn't you make up for the wedding?"
Hearing this, Song Qinian was terrified and dared not make a sound, for fear that Shen Chi Yan would lose his temper and cut off her fingers with the scissors.
Shen Chi Yan remained silent until he had applied the medicine and bandaged Song Qinian's wound. Then, he looked at Song Qinian faintly and said with a fake smile, "Do you think there's any need for us to have a wedding ceremony?"
