Master Hong's Lucky Bride

Chapter 85: Do You Want Me to Lie Down or Sit Down? 

After taking two difficult steps, Zhuang Hong suddenly stopped. When Cen Shuang saw Zhuang Hong stop, she thought that his legs were weak and that he did not want to walk anymore. She did not forget to console him, “We’ll be there in two more steps. Let’s keep going.” 

Anyway, when they reached the stone platform, she did not want Zhuang Hong to leave his wheelchair anymore. A few days ago, Zhuang Hong could stand up on his own and barely managed to take two steps. These days, the more she pulled him to train, the less progress he made. If this continued, she would start to suspect that there was something wrong with Boyan’s medical skills. 

When Cen Shuang saw Zhuang Hong staring at her without moving, she asked curiously, “What’s wrong?” 

Could it be that there was something on her face and he was about to laugh at her? Although she really wanted to throw him aside and look in the mirror, Cen Shuang still humanely resisted this impulse. She stared at the man above her head with an innocent expression, she only begged him to quickly take a few steps forward. 

Zhuang Hong suddenly said, “If I can’t walk in the future, what are you going to do?” 

Cen Shuang propped herself up so that she could stand still as much as possible. She forced a smile and said obediently, “It doesn’t matter. At most, you’ll stay in a wheelchair. Anyway, you were asleep when we met.” 

Compared to lying on the bed and not moving, he could at least chat with her now. He even helped her get her dress back when she was so sad. Cen Shuang was not a heartless woman. Since someone had been kind to her, she would definitely repay that kindness. 

Zhuang Hong chuckled. “Do you want me to fall asleep, or do you want me to sit in the wheelchair?” 

Cen Shuang said, “I want you to shut up and take a few steps forward.”. 

Was it so uncomfortable to sit and chat? She was a young woman, so it must have been very difficult for her to support a man’s weight. “Of course I want you to recover as soon as possible. Isn’t walking on your own good? It’s very inconvenient to sit in the wheelchair!” 

Cen Shuang pushed herself up and smiled at Zhuang Hong. “Are you tired? Do you want to sit down and rest for a while?” 

She turned around and looked at the wheelchair that was two or three steps away, then at the stone platform not far away. They could not stop here; there was nowhere to sit. 

Zhuang Hong could read her thoughts, and he smiled wider. “You’re tired. Why don’t we take a break?” 

Cen Shuang nodded. “Let’s take another two steps forward. The stone platform is right in front of us. We can still enjoy the sun if we walk over there.” 

‘Please take a step forward!’ 

Although Cen Shuang was anxious, her face was exceptionally patient. Zhuang Hong nodded and slowly stretched out one foot. He could finally walk forward. Cen Shuang heaved a sigh of relief in her heart, but before she could even catch her breath, she felt the center of gravity on her body shift. Zhuang Hong was not sure why but he could not remain still and started falling toward her. 

Cen Shuang was pretty strong so she did not collapse the moment Zhuang Hong pressed down on her. Following the force of the push, she bent down to dodge. Dodging was a natural instinct of a skilled person. Cen Shuang felt that she would not easily get hurt. However, seeing Zhuang Hong fall onto the pebble on the ground, she quickly made her move. After making her move, she regretted it. Saving others was also her natural instinct. However, her instinct was not very strong. She ended up frozen. Then, the force of his weight pulled her down and she fell with him. 

The sudden accident left Cen Shuang without any preparation and support. She fell and there was nothing to brace her fall. If she shook off Zhuang Hong now, with her skills, she could save herself from embarrassment. However, she still gave up. Not only did she not protect herself, but she also remembered that Zhuang Hong was still a patient. She could only hug Zhuang Hong tightly and squeeze her eyes shut. She was ready to fall to the ground with him. Falling on the rough ground would not be very painful, right? How could this be more painful than when she got injured from practicing martial arts? Cen Shuang thought so, but the pain that she had expected did not come. Instead, she fell into a firm embrace and did not feel the dull pain from falling on the rocky path. Cen Shuang opened her eyes in surprise. In an instant, her head landed on a large palm, and she relaxed as a pair of lips brushed hers. She looked at Zhuang Hong who was close by. His deep black eyes reflected the muted light coming from the gaps between the trees. She stared into his endless eyes, realizing that his eyes were also wide now. 

The winter breeze was cool, but Cen Shuang felt that her face was burning hot. 

Cen Shuang had a burning question. Why did he kiss me? But in the end, her expression shifted into embarrassment and surprise. She was at a loss for words, but Zhuang Hong was very calm. To Cen Shuang, right now, his eyes seemed to be filled with a million stars. 

He looked at her gently. His curved eyes carried a fatal magic. With a swift movement, he had encased her in the prison of his arms as he leaned over her. Cen Shuang’s gaze was terrified.
