Chapter 442 - 442 Remember to Miss Me

442 Remember to Miss Me

Jiang Danhe had been clenching his fists from the moment the door banged into him, and they had remained clenched until now.

But he wasn’t feeling angry, it was just that the impact had caused quite a bit of pain. The pain in his face was negligible, the most painful part was somewhere else on his body.

Xiaoguo came to his side and held his handsome face in her hands. Her heart was aching for him.

“Does it hurt?”

!!

While asking him, she rubbed the bridge of his nose, which had turned red.

The bridge of his nose was so high and prominent that it had absorbed most of the impact from the door frame. It feels really painful just thinking about it.

“Not so bad.”

Fearing that Xiaoguo would worry, Jiang Danhe shook his head and tried to endure the pain.

But Xiaoguo did not believe him at all. His face wouldn’t have turned green if it didn’t hurt.

“Sit down quickly. Let me take a look.”

In a moment of desperation, Xiaoguo was about to pull him to the bed when Jiang Danhe quickly stopped her. Cold sweat was breaking out on his forehead again.

“No, no. I’ll be fine after standing here for a while.”

“That won’t do.”

“It’s okay, really.”

Seeing that Xiaoguo was still trying to pull him away, Jiang Danhe quickly stopped her in fear. It was best for him to remain where he was.

Xiaoguo thought that he was behaving strangely. Why did he have to stand there?

Knowing that they had gotten into trouble, Zhuang Zhuang and Xiaoyi slowly retracted their heads that were peeking into the room. The two looked at each other, with the words “we’re done for” written all over their faces.

“This… When did you install the door handle? Why is it so low…?”

After a while, Jiang Danhe couldn’t help but ask.

He had suffered for no reason. If he had known that the door handle was installed at such a low position on the door, he wouldn’t have just stood there foolishly. With his reaction speed, he could have easily avoided bumping into the door.

“The door handle?” Xiaoguo looked at the door. “Oh… I just installed this. The handle was made quite some time ago but I kept forgetting about it. But it’s not really that low.”

She had always found it hard to open the door without a handle, so she asked the craftsmen to make one for her. However, she never remembered to stick it on.

Until one day, while looking for her clothes in the cupboard after her shower, she suddenly came across the door handle. Since she was free at that time, she took the opportunity to install it on the door. Otherwise, she might forget about it again.

Xiaoguo pushed the door handle and smiled with joy, “It’s stuck so firmly on the door! Natural adhesives are really quite good, I must say!”

Jiang Danhe lowered his head and thought to himself, “Why am I so unlucky? I bumped into the handle right after it was installed…”

Xiaoguo looked at the man who was not making a sound and felt even more puzzled. “What’s wrong? Does his nose hurt so much?”

He wasn’t the type who would kick up a fuss over the slightest pain, so Xiaoguo was speculating that his nose bridge might have been broken. This was a serious matter.

“Don’t move. Let me see.”

Xiaoguo furrowed her brows, pulled down his head, and carefully examined his nose.

Other than the slight redness on his nose bridge, there were no other wounds. She touched his nose with her hand and found that there were no visible injuries.

“That is strange. The bridge of his nose looks fine. What is causing his discomfort?”

Xiaoguo was extremely worried, but the other party simply refused to tell her. Xiaoguo had no choice but to touch him from head to toe, trying to figure out the source of the pain.

How could he tell her the spot where he had been hit? The moment she reached out to touch him, he immediately endured the indescribable pain and dodged from her.

At this moment, realization suddenly dawned upon Xiaoguo. She retracted her gaze and looked at Jiang Danhe awkwardly. The other party was also secretly looking at her. When their eyes met, both of them quickly looked away in embarrassment.

“I’m going to wash up.”

Coincidentally, the pain had passed. Jiang Danhe quickly found an excuse to leave.

Xiaoguo didn’t stop him, because she already knew where he was hurting.

Coupled with the question that he asked about the door handle earlier, her smart little brain immediately thought of the reason.

The door handle was located at a position where she found it easier for her to exert strength, and that position was in front of Jiang Danhe’s legs. So based on her bold guess, the handle must have bumped into him at his sensitive spot when the door opened towards him…

Xiaoguo was extremely embarrassed. Even though Jiang Danhe had left the room, her shyness did not go away after a long time.

It wasn’t entirely her fault for sticking the handle so low. It was just that Jiang Danhe’s legs were too long and the handle was at the same level as a certain part of his body, which resulted in the collision.

Zhuang Zhuang and Wen Xiaoyi were listening to the commotion inside when the door suddenly opened. The two of them were shocked and leaned against the wall without daring to breathe.

When Jiang Danhe passed by, he glanced at the two little boys hiding in the corner. Although he didn’t say anything, he still made them feel uneasy.

What were they waiting for at a time like this? Of course they were trying to seek Xiaoguo’s protection.

“Mother…”

“Auntie…”

Xiaoyi followed behind Zhuang Zhuang and ran towards Xiaoguo.

However, what the two of them did not know was that they were not at fault in this accident. The biggest culprit was right in front of them.

Xiaoguo looked at the two children who were seeking her protection and felt a mixture of emotions. It seemed that her fault was greater than the sum of their faults combined.

After coaxing the two little ones to bed, she came out alone and looked outside. She realized that there was still light in the bathroom. Jiang Danhe was still inside.

She had wanted to ask him if he was okay, but she ended up dozing off on the bed.

When Jiang Danhe returned, the three of them were already sound asleep.

Fortunately, Xiaoguo had left a space for him beside her. Otherwise, he would have to wake everyone up.

As he had just come from outside, his body was inevitably cold. Xiaoguo, who was sound asleep, instinctively wrapped her arms around herself and moved closer to the two children.

...

When Jiang Danhe saw this, he quickly rubbed his body with his hands. When his body temperature became slightly warmer, he reached out and brought Xiaoguo closer towards him.

The person in his arms felt the familiar warmth and snuggled closer intuitively.

Jiang Danhe chuckled in satisfaction and did not forget to cover her with a blanket. Then, he blew out the candle.

In the next few days, Xiaoguo and Jiang Danhe were simply basking in love.

Xiaoyi had also spent an unforgettable little vacation here.

Before leaving, he hugged Zhuang Zhuang reluctantly, not wanting to leave. In the end, he was carried into the carriage by the same person who brought him here. Even so, the little guy was crying so hard that his snot was flowing continuously. Those who didn’t know better would think that they were witnessing a life-and-death situation.

Xiaoguo laughed out loud at the boy’s dramatic behavior. Her reluctance to part ways with Jiang Danhe had mostly dissipated.

Jiang Danhe pulled her to a spot and said hesitantly, “I might not be coming back again within the year…”

Taken aback for a moment, Xiaoguo’s eyes shimmered with tears before she quickly regained her composure and nodded as if nothing was wrong, “Are you not coming back for the New Year?”

Jiang Danhe couldn’t bear to say it out loud, so he just nodded in response to her question.

...

“I see…” Xiaoguo forced a smile. “Then you have to take good care of yourself.”

Jiang Danhe only nodded and didn’t say anything when he heard her words. However, he looked straight at her, hoping that she would say something.

Xiaoguo smiled for a moment and asked cautiously, “Are you really not coming back for the New Year?”

It seemed that their family of three had never celebrated the Spring Festival together. Not even once…

Jiang Danhe shook his head. “I can’t get away. Xiaoguo, do you want to…”

“What’s wrong?”

“Forget it, it’s nothing.” Jiang Danhe hesitated for a while before he finally gave up and shook his head casually.

A look of disappointment flashed across Xiaoguo’s eyes. Then, she smiled and nodded.

As he got ready to set off, Jiang Danhe took the opportunity to kiss Xiaoguo. Under her shocked gaze, he smiled and said, “I’ll miss you. Remember to think of me.”

Xiaoguo was stunned for a moment before she started nodding vigorously. “I’ll miss you.”

She would miss him very, very much.

Jiang Danhe smiled and turned to leave. As he passed by Zhuang Zhuang, he kissed him on the cheek and gave him some careful instructions before setting off on his horse.

Xiaoguo’s reluctant gaze followed Jiang Danhe as he left, but the latter did not dare to look back. Otherwise he really wouldn’t be able to resist taking her away with him.
