Chapter 75: Little Pervert

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Gu Zi didn’t remain content for long. Suddenly, she recalled a symptom of male impotency that she had learned about in her university biology class.

It was typically when a man was as hard as a gun but couldn’t maintain an erection during intercourse. The scientific term for it was “Erectile Dysfunction.”

Could Su Shen’s hidden condition be related to this? If so, it might be manageable.

Gu Zi knew that this symptom was often attributed to insufficient kidney qi, so she figured that after their marriage, she could oversee Su Shen’s exercise to help improve the situation.

As these thoughts occupied her mind, the sensation of their closeness from the morning replayed in her brain, igniting an impish idea.

His manhood felt pretty strong when it was hard. Technically, it should be quite sizeable.

She pondered the idea of measuring his size prior to their marriage for the sake of their future happiness!

But as she reached out toward the blanket, Su Shen’s eyelids fluttered open, making her hand pause abruptly.

She smiled and said, “You’re awake. I helped cover you with the blanket.” With that, she swiftly scooped up Su Le and departed the scene, playfully pretending it was a harmless gesture.

Su Shen’s face was dark. He was covered with a blanket. Why would he need another blanket?

When a man awakened in the morning, he usually found himself in a particular state. Why had she tried to lift the blanket? The answer seemed evident to him.

It seemed that he had guessed correctly last night. She wanted to confirm if he was capable of a normal married life.

This woman was really a little pervert…o

During breakfast, Gu Zi brought breakfast up to eat with Su Shen in order to take care of him.

However, she focused on feeding Su Le and was too apprehensive to make eye contact with Su Shen. She couldn’t be sure if he had figured out her devious actions from earlier.

Actually, she was also very helpless. After all, asking such a question directly would really hurt a man’s self-esteem. She could only rely on her own observation.

“We can communicate more directly. For example, if you want anything, you can tell me directly,” Su Shen said in a low voice after breakfast.

Gu Zi thought, ‘Direct communication about this would be quite the blow to his self-esteem, wouldn’t it?’

She could only reply, “Okay.”

Later in the morning, Gu Zi carried Su Le, while Su Bing and Su Li each carried a bamboo basket. The three of them ventured out to harvest jelly grass.

The bean jelly grass that Gu Zi found was beside a small ditch at the entrance of Daqing Village. They walked for a while and finally arrived.

Gu Zi put Su Le down and plucked a leaf for them to see. “It’s an oval leaf like this one. Look closely at the tip of the leaf.”

Su Li and Su Bing carefully observed and then went to identify it.

The three of them quickly got to work, but Gu Zi was slower due to having to tend to Su Le.

Su Li observed the green leaves they were picking and couldn’t see how they could be used to make a tasty snack. He asked Su Bing, “Can these really be turned into a delicious snack?”

Su Bing didn’t say anything because he felt that this stepmother seemed to be really amazing. She always came out with lots of surprises.

Su Bing refrained from expressing his eagerness for the snack, even though he was looking forward to it. He didn’t want to disclose his anticipation to his brother.

Zhang Cuihua was about to go to her farm to get some vegetables when she saw a few familiar figures from afar.

“Why are you pulling out all this grass?” she asked Gu Zi as she walked over.

Gu Zi saw that it was her neighbor, Aunt Zhang.

Gu Zi explained, “I’m going to make something delicious. When I’m done, I’ll share some with you. ”

Zhang Cuihua appeared skeptical. “What can you make from this? A salad?”

Gu Zi kept the snack a secret for now and simply replied, “You’ll find out when it’s ready.”

Zhang Cuihua nodded and walked away, but before leaving, she mentioned an odd occurrence. “By the way, I remembered something. Don’t tell anyone I told you this.”

Gu Zi nodded.

Zhang Cuihua continued, “Chu Xi has been acting strangely today. I saw her wandering around your house early this morning. She was even walking around your house a few times this morning. I don’t know what she’s up to.”

After saying that, Zhang Cuihua reminded her again not to say that she was the one who said it and left.

Gu Zi felt uneasy. How could she have forgotten about this ticking time bomb?

It was better to be on guard against people like Chu Xi.

She turned around and called out to Su Bing and Su Li, “We’re almost done.

Let’s go back.”

Su Li wasn’t ready to leave and said, “Brother, didn’t Stepmother say she’d take us to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy spicy sticks after we finish cutting the grass here?”

Su Bing shook his head. “I told you not to get your hopes up. Let’s go..”
