Chapter 1502: Location of the Second Rib Cage

The room was dimly lit with warm light as Wen Xinya nestled in Si Yiyan’s arms. Under the hazy light, her hair that was as black as shadow fanned out soft and smooth like seaweed spreading on Si Yiyan’s chest.

Wen Xinya’s face was beautiful like a poppy, and her lazy, charming body exuded fatal temptation.

Wen Xinya’s snow-like fingers gently scratched the scar on Si Yiyan’s chest. This scar was about ten centimeters long from the chest to the ribs, probably caused by a sword. Because the injury was from a long time ago, the scary wound turned a slight nude color. But this pale nude color was very noticeable on Si Yiyan’s fair skin.

“Where did this scar come from?” Wen Xinya gently rubbed the scar with her fingers, her delicate fingertips soft like feathers.

Si Yiyan had had a lot of injuries, large and small, and there were still scar marks on his back. Some of these were left by his father’s cruel training, but most of them were from when he was in Russia, batting countless times between life and death.

She had been with Si Yiyan for so many years and she always knew that Si Yiyan was covered with scars. But she rarely asked about the origins of these injuries, not because she was not concerned or did not mind, but because she cared too much. She did not want to bring up his past which was often mixed with blood and tears.

“I don’t really remember!” Si Yiyan’s large palm stroked her smooth, jade-like back. It felt delicate and gentle to the touch, making him a little bit addicted.

The scar near this rib was from that time Xinya was abducted by Fu Tianyang. He rushed to rescue her despite having serious injuries and sent her to the hospital. Doing so exposed his own whereabouts. That night he was conspired against by the old men at Xiasi Group. He got sliced from the left chest to his ribs. At the same time, his seventh rib was broken.

The pain from the broken ribs was the most painful injury he had to suffer in his life. None of the others could compare.

He also realized from that moment why God said that women were men’s ribs.

“I remember. Gu Yuexi said that the cut was life-threatening. The seventh rib of your body was broken at the same time. The cracked bone stimulated the intercostal nerves and was very painful. Taking a deep breath, coughing, or any slight body movement would cause the pain to double. The pain limited your breathing on the injured side of your body. The fractured bone also punctured the intercostal blood vessels and lung tissue, giving you hemoptysis.”

Wen Wenya knew that Si Yiyan would never tell her this, so she asked Gu Yuehan about all of his injuries, big and small. No one knew better than Gu Yuehan how terrible these injuries were, and what kind of life and death situations they had experienced.

Si Yiyan gently touched her head. “I didn’t expect Gu Yuehan to gossip so much!”

At that time, Gu Yuehan was the only one by his side. Gu Yuehan was the only one who knew the full extent of the situation, no one else could have told her that.

“I’m his sis-in-law. If I asked him, would he dare to not tell me?” At the time, Xu Xianghu had gone to the east for half a year to dig up oil. Of course Gu Yuehan did not want to risk doing the same.

Si Yiyan thought of Xu Xianghu. At first, he came to him with tearful eyes accusing him of being cruel for sending him to the east. He burst out laughing. Now all of his subordinates knew that they were at the beck and call of their sis-in-law.

“Si Yiyan, I know the story of every single scar on you, so don’t you hide things from me saying that you don’t remember.” Wen Xinya pressed her lips slowly on the scar above the ribs with pity and gentleness.

Although she was not present in his past, that did not prevent her from feeling heartbroken from seeing all the injuries he had suffered.

“Ok!” Si Yixuan responded.

A soft kiss fell on that scar, it seemed to soothe the faint pain there. During all these numerous nights, Wen Xinya would, many times, kiss the scar on his body just like that, but never asked any questions.

He never knew that she felt distressed.

Wen Xinya climbed onto Si Yiyan’s chest and gently stroked the scar with her fingers. “The seventh rib is the only soft rib among a man’s twelve pairs of ribs. It’s the easiest rib to break. Was it from then that I became your weakness?”

The Bible said that God used the seventh rib of men to create women. Since then, women relied on men and became men’s flesh and bones.

If a man were to lose his rib, his body and his soul were no longer complete. If the soft rib was injured, the terrible pain felt by the man would be the most painful experience in his life.

Si Yiyan shook his head and gently kissed Wen Xinya’s hairline. The soft kiss felt light as feathers. “Xinya, do you know where the second rib of a man’s left chest is?”

Under the hazy light and shadows, his low voice seemed to travel through time and struck heavily on Wen Xinya’s chest.

Wen Xinya’s voice was husky. “I know that the second rib of the left chest corresponds to the aortic valve, which is the position above the apex of the heart.”

A man’s heart was located in the left ventricle and that was the most deadly location of the human body.

Si Yiyan whispered, “In the Western legend, God created women from men’s ribs. There are many opinions about which rib it is. The Bible says that it is the seventh rib, and some people say that it is the first, but I think it is the second.”

Without the second rib, a man could not survive.

However, at the same time, the second rib was also the hardest rib in the human body and the hardest to break.

“The second rib is in this position.” Wen Xinya’s five fingers were slightly separated and placed horizontally on his left chest. Her five fingers gently pressed on the skin and she could feel the shape of his rib.

Legend said that if the second rib was broken, the human heart would be broken.

A rupture, not a sprain, nor a fracture, but a ruptureā€¦

She believed in this legend.

“You are the second rib above my apex!” Si Yiyan rolled over and pressed her underneath him, staring at her deeply and intensely with a light smile, as gentle as melting spring snow.

After speaking, Si Yiyan sank down on her body. In the hazy light and shadows, her beautiful face was dyed a slightly charming red color, her long and narrow eyes also had a touch of red tint.

Just like apricots on the wall, charming and attractive!

This was the most beautiful and the most tender expression seen on Wen Xinya.
