Lin Chen felt Xu Mengyao's body tremble slightly.
"Wife, are you scared?"
Lin Chen gently patted Xu Mengyao's back.
Xu Mengyao's voice trembled, "I'm not scared, but I can't control my body. I didn't mean to."
Lin Chen said softly, "Wife, those things from before won't happen again. I will protect you. Don't worry."
"Mm."
Xu Mengyao nodded lightly.
Half a minute passed, and her body was still trembling, her face gradually becoming a little pale.
Lin Chen let go of Xu Mengyao.
"Hoo, hoo!"
Xu Mengyao gasped for breath.
Her breathing had been a little difficult just now.
"Husband, I... I like you, but I still can't control myself, I don't know why this is happening."
Xu Mengyao looked at Lin Chen and said dejectedly.
She was worried that Lin Chen would be disappointed in her like this.
Lin Chen comforted her: "It's okay. I'm also half a doctor, I understand. If reason could easily control it, where would there be post-traumatic stress disorder?"
"But this isn't a tiger, so we don't need to be afraid of it."
"It's still okay to hug, right?"
Xu Mengyao mustered her courage, "Then try again?"
Her body wasn't trembling anymore.
Lin Chen shook his head, "One time is enough for today. This is also a form of treatment. Treatment requires a gradual approach; using too much 'medicine' will have the opposite effect."
"Mhm."
Xu Mengyao nodded gently.
"Honey, you go back to reading your book."
"I'm going to take another shower, I feel uncomfortable after sweating."
Xu Mengyao walked out and gently closed the door.
She covered her chest, her heart pounding.
Lin Chen had a faint smile on his face.
Progress again, not bad, not bad.
Xu Mengyao's stress response was a bit strong just now, but it would definitely decrease after a few hugs.
—The decrease isn't mainly because of the hugs, but because of affection. Without enough affection, hugging will only have the opposite effect.
Lin Chen continued reading.
Xu Mengyao quickly took a shower.
"Knock, knock."
Xu Mengyao knocked on the door and poked her head in. "Honey, we don't work tomorrow, it's Sunday. Let's move tomorrow. I'll ask Shen Qing to help."
"Aren't we hiring a moving company?" Lin Chen asked.
Xu Mengyao shook her head. "I'm just moving my personal belongings, clothes, shoes, makeup, bags, and stuff. We can just drive the cars over. No need for a moving company."
"You drive one car, and Shen Qing and I will drive another. That should be enough to move all my stuff."
Lin Chen nodded. "Alright, sounds good."
"Honey, good night."
"Check if Xiaoxi kicks off the covers later."
Xu Mengyao's face flushed slightly.
She remembered that before, Lin Xiaoxi didn't kick off the covers, but she did. Lin Chen had even commented that her legs were long and white.
Lin Chen said with a smile, "Aren't you closing the door? Then don't kick off the covers, or I'll see your legs again."
Xu Mengyao said shyly, "It's fine if you look. I'm your wife, it's nothing if you look."
After saying that, Xu Mengyao quickly closed the door and ran away.
Lin Chen's face was full of smiles.
Xu Mengyao was moving in; it seemed the perks wouldn't be few in the future.
Back in the bedroom, Xu Mengyao burrowed into the covers.
She felt her face was a bit hot.
"Xiao Qingzi, are you free tomorrow?"
A moment later, Xu Mengyao sent a message to Shen Qing.
"Yes, what does my lady need me to do?"
Shen Qing replied quickly.
Xu Mengyao: "Help me move tomorrow."
Shen Qing was stunned for a moment.
"Moving? Are you moving to Lin Chen's place? Uncle Xu and the others haven't returned yet. Won't they feel bad when they come back and find you gone?"
Xu Mengyao: "..."
Her parents wouldn't feel good?
They were the ones who told her to move before they got back.
"They told me to move!"
Seeing Xu Mengyao's reply, Shen Qing was speechless. It turned out that Xu Mengyao's parents had asked her to move, so it was fine.
"Your parents are wise."
A black line flashed across Xu Mengyao's forehead. "Shen Qing, you also want me to move over here early so you can conveniently freeload, right?"
Shen Qing: "Is it that obvious?"
Xu Mengyao: "..."
"Take a taxi to my place tomorrow. You might need to drive a car back here later."
"Understood. Mengyao, let me gossip a bit. How far have you and Lin Chen gone? Have you kissed yet? As your strategist, I need to know the details."
Xu Mengyao: "I'm not telling you."
"I'm going to sleep, bye."
The next day, Lin Xiaoxi woke up first.
Xu Mengyao was sleeping facing her. Lin Xiaoxi snuggled into Xu Mengyao's arms, a sweet smile on her face.
Xu Mengyao woke up quickly.
"Xiaoxi, you're up early today."
Xu Mengyao kissed Lin Xiaoxi on the forehead.
Lin Xiaoxi: "Mommy, I'm fully charged. Mommy, didn't Daddy sleep with us?"
Xu Mengyao: "Sleeping together, the three of us would fight over the covers, and you'd easily catch a cold. We'll sleep together again when you're older."
"Mommy, how much longer?"
Lin Xiaoxi looked at Xu Mengyao expectantly.
Xu Mengyao thought for a moment and replied, "You're only two and a half years old. When you're three, it should be okay. If you get fewer colds because of your improved constitution, it can be earlier."
Lin Xiaoxi sat up quickly.
"Mom, let's get up quickly."
"After breakfast, I'll practice Ancient Martial Taiji with Dad."
Xu Mengyao said in surprise, "You practice Ancient Martial Taiji?"
"Yeah, hehe."
"Mom, I'll protect you later."
"And Dad."
Lin Xiaoxi said in a childish voice.
Xu Mengyao: "Are you going to protect me and Dad?"
Lin Xiaoxi shook her head: "Mom, no, Dad is amazing. Dad and I will protect you together."
"Then Mom will wait and see."
Xu Mengyao said with a smile.
\n\n
Half an hour later, Lin Xiaoxi finished her breakfast: "Dad, let's practice martial arts. I want to become stronger."
Lin Chen said in surprise: "Xiaoxi, you're so enthusiastic today?"
"Xiaoxi, you can't tell anyone the secret Mom told you, or Mom won't tell you any more secrets in the future."
Xu Mengyao said quickly.
Lin Xiaoxi covered her mouth: "I won't say it."
Xu Mengyao breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Chen looked at Xu Mengyao and smiled, "Mengyao, there's no rush to move, right? How about Xiaoxi practices some martial arts first?"
"Mmm."
Xu Mengyao nodded.
Soon, Lin Chen and Lin Xiaoxi started practicing in the living room.
Lin Chen practiced in front, and Lin Xiaoxi followed. Her movements were definitely not standard, but she could still try to mimic them a little.
Five minutes passed, and Lin Chen began to gain Ancient Martial Taiji experience.
Xu Mengyao watched from the side.
Surprise flashed in her eyes.
Lin Chen used to be terrible at this. It hadn't been long, but the Ancient Martial Taiji he was now performing looked extremely good.
There was a special charm in every breath, every movement of his hands and feet.
After more than ten minutes, Lin Chen finished the set.
He then began to carefully teach Lin Xiaoxi from the beginning. Experience with Ancient Martial Taiji poured into him continuously, and his Dantian and Meridians were also subtly changing.
When Lin Chen finished teaching the set.
He felt a warmth in his abdomen.
"System, is this Qi sense?"
Lin Chen asked in his mind.
