Chapter 313 What’s So Interesting About The Hand?

The night air was too humid, and Song Ni found it difficult to sleep. Usually, Tan Zheng would massage his left wrist himself, but now Song Ni was helping him. Although they had been using herbal compresses for the past two months, Song Ni still worried that the environment would make Tan Zheng uncomfortable. "Why don't we go back?" Tan Zheng chuckled and held Song Ni's hand. "My wrist doesn't hurt." Song Ni remained concerned. Tan Zheng patted her waist, signaling her to move slightly to the side. Then, to Song Ni's bewilderment, Tan Zheng performed several single-handed push-ups, using his left hand. Song Ni was speechless. This was indeed Tan Zheng, proving himself in his own unique way. Seeing this, Song Ni said no more, though she still unconsciously continued to massage Tan Zheng's wrist. Her hands were soft and tender, and after a while, Tan Zheng's thoughts began to wander. They had been together for a while, and whenever Tan Zheng thought of that intimate act, his eyes would change. His gaze was inherently possessive, and when he had such thoughts about her, meeting her eyes felt like being a targeted prey. Song Ni was somewhat exasperated. This man had two rare days off, and he was only thinking about that. They had already messed around twice today; wasn't he tired? "Don't you dare mess around." There were quite a few people camping here. Tan Zheng had intended to restrain himself, but seeing Song Ni's defensive and warning expression, he felt a desire to tease her. He reached out to embrace Song Ni's waist, but she dodged him with extreme speed. Thus, he chased, and she fled. After several rounds of this, the commotion in the tent was considerable. When Song Ni realized the issue, she held up her hand, pleading for a truce. "Stop! Tan Zheng, if you continue like this, I'll get angry." The man carefully scrutinized Song Ni's face and, seeing her serious expression, finally put away his playful intentions. He reached out, wanting to hold Song Ni. "Darling, I'm not that uncivilized." He would never do such a thing in a place like this; it would be disrespectful to Song Ni. Song Ni, however, found it hard to believe. Tan Zheng then realized he had teased her a bit too much and, feeling a rare awkwardness, coughed softly and rubbed his nose. "I was just teasing you." Seeing that Tan Zheng's gaze was indeed no longer as intense as before, Song Ni slowly sat back down. However, when she subconsciously reached out to rub Tan Zheng's wrist, he refused. Song Ni was puzzled. Tan Zheng felt no embarrassment. "If you rub it like that, it'll get you worked up." Song Ni: ... Speechless. She looked at Tan Zheng, her eyes seemingly asking: How can you be so unreliable? ... The tent wasn't very large. Song Ni was held by Tan Zheng all night, and when she woke up, she felt a soreness in half of her body. Tan Zheng, however, seemed perfectly fine. In this regard, Song Ni truly admired Tan Zheng. If the man knew Song Ni's thoughts, he would surely scoff. A little soreness in his hand was nothing compared to not being able to sleep holding his wife. After enjoying the morning scenery by the lake, the two returned to their room. By the time they had washed up and sat down to eat breakfast indoors, it was already ten o'clock. Before returning, Song Ni had sent the video she shot last night to the editor, and the final cut had already been sent over. This was the efficiency of a high salary. Song Ni opened it and found that the part with the high ponytail had not been edited out. However, that segment was the highlight of the video. Although Tan Zheng's face was not visible in the video, his every movement conveyed affection. Song Ni watched, engrossed. Previously, her attention had been solely on Tan Zheng's eyes, and she had overlooked other details. Now, watching the video, she realized how careful and how gentle his actions were. From this segment alone, an uninformed observer would think Tan Zheng was an exceptionally gentle person. Tan Zheng was temporarily handling something by the window. Seeing Song Ni engrossed, he put down his work and walked over. "What's wrong?" Song Ni showed him the video. "Look, didn't I film it well?" Tan Zheng glanced at it. His attention was entirely on Song Ni in the video; she was indeed filmed beautifully. Song Ni, however, was staring at Tan Zheng's hands in the video. "I'm a little regretful." "Hmm?" "Even without showing your face, you're very attractive. I'm a little reluctant to let others see such handsome hands." Tan Zheng's eyebrows twitched slightly, but he offered no comment. The decision to post it rested entirely with Song Ni. He had already enjoyed the benefits and didn't mind. However, he remained curious. He looked down at his own hands and asked again the question he had asked when picking her up from school. "What's so good about these hands of mine?" In his opinion, Song Ni's hands were far more beautiful than his. Song Ni paused the video and turned to look at Tan Zheng. Seeing his genuine confusion, she sighed. She picked up his hand and couldn't help but stroke it several times. "Very sexy." The man's eyebrows rose. Sexy? "Especially when you're smoking, how should I put it? The veins and the lines of your fingers are very fluid, and your knuckles are particularly sexy." Tan Zheng looked at his hands, feeling Song Ni was exaggerating more and more. His hands were handsome? He lifted Song Ni's hand and placed it in his palm. "Your fingers are slender and long, fair and tender. Aren't they more beautiful than mine?" Song Ni wrinkled her nose. "Beautiful is beautiful, but it's a different kind of beauty than yours. It's like men's and women's aesthetics are different. Your hands have a fatal attraction for us." Back at the bar, she had been drawn to his hand resting on the window of the private room. Later, after she learned it was Tan Zheng, she would unconsciously find herself looking at his hands. Seeing that Tan Zheng still didn't believe her, Song Ni spoke. "Let's make a bet. If I post the video, many people will praise your hands." "Hm, what's the bet?" Tan Zheng didn't care if others liked his hands; as long as Song Ni did, it was enough. He also knew that Song Ni must have something she wanted to discuss with him by saying this. As expected. "After we go back, let's go to the hospital for a full physical check-up." Song Ni wanted to see the condition of Tan Zheng's hands and to know if his diet during this period had helped his stomach. Tan Zheng, however, misunderstood Song Ni's intention. He thought that her desire for a full physical check-up meant she was thinking about having a child, especially since they had been discussing it all last night. He squeezed Song Ni's hand. "Darling, there's no rush to have a child." Song Ni: When did I say I wanted a child? Seeing Song Ni's expression, Tan Zheng paused, looking rather confused. "Aren't you going to the hospital for a check-up to prepare for having a child?" Song Ni: ... 70
