The sky collapsed, and in the blink of an eye, I found myself transported to Nanluoguxiang.

After a while, the village elders, Third Grandfather, Grandfather, and Old Master Liu all stepped down from the stage.

The newlyweds, Li Kaixin and Song Anting, also stepped down from the stage to begin toasting.

It started with Grandpa Liu and his grandfather at their table, then followed by his parents and in-laws, and so on, from table to table.

When the two of them walked to Liu Jianming's table, Ye Ling was the first to stand up.

She picked up her wine glass and looked at the two of them with a grin: "Happy Brother, Sister-in-law, congratulations!"

"Thank you, Xiaoling," Li Kaixin said, raising her glass in response with a smile.

Song Anting, who was standing to the side, pursed her lips and nodded slightly to her.

At this moment, Liu Jianming, Chen Yongtai, and several others who were on good terms with Li Kaixin also stood up, holding their wine glasses, and said auspicious words.

Li Kaixin responded to each of them, and after everyone had taken a sip of wine, he pulled Song Anting to the next table.

Although each table only drinks one cup, the sheer number of people at each table still adds up.

Throughout the event, Li Kaixin must have drunk at least four or five jin (2.5-3 kg) of liquor, which made Song Anting feel sorry for him.

After the banquet, the military region leaders, Old Master Liu, and Political Commissar Chen, having other matters to attend to, said goodbye to Li Kaixin and left in a hurry.

In an instant, more than half of the jeeps at the village entrance disappeared.

The remaining people were not in such a hurry, and they found seats to sit and chat about the important figures who had come today.

Li Kaixin wasn't idle either. Because he had been too busy earlier, he hadn't had a chance to properly introduce Song Anting to Liu Jianming's friends and Master Chen.

While everyone was still gone, he led her to identify them all.

Later, she and several other girls, including Wang Fang, Ye Ling, Li Xiaoxiao, and Zhang Xiaohua, got together and chatted for an entire afternoon, clearly becoming good friends.

Li Kaixin, along with Zhou Zhiming, Guo Liang, Liu Jianming, and a few others, found another place to chat and started drinking again.

.......

In the evening, Li Kaixin and Song Anting did not return to Beijing, but stayed at their grandparents' house.

Song Qiang and Lu Chunhua didn't say anything when they left. They were already engaged, and in their eyes, it was no different from being married.

And today truly shocked them both. They no longer had any reservations about handing their daughter over to Li Kaixin, and even hoped that their daughter could get pregnant soon.

After washing up, Li Kaixin and Song Anting returned to the west wing together.

The two sat together on the heated kang (a traditional heated brick bed), and neither of them spoke for a moment.

Song Anting kept her head down, twisting the hem of her clothes incessantly.

Li Kaixin wasn't much better off; she didn't know where to put her hands.

After an unknown amount of time, finally...

Li Kaixin coughed lightly, breaking the silence first: "An...An Ting, it's getting late, let's...let's rest!"

Upon hearing this, Song Anting blushed instantly, but still softly hummed in agreement.

Once the kerosene lamp went out, the two of them lay down on the bed.

"An Ting, go to sleep!"

After saying this, Li Kaixin made no further movements and slowly closed his eyes.

Although Song Anting was already an adult at this time, she was still studying, so he did not plan to have her now.

However, Song Anting, who was sleeping next to her, did not think so.

Today, before leaving, my mother pulled her aside and shared some of her experiences with her.

Just as Li Kaixin suppressed the heat in his heart and was about to fall asleep.

Song Anting couldn't wait any longer, so she flipped over and climbed up.

This startled Li Kaixin awake.

He felt the smooth, slippery touch on her hand and stammered, "An...An Ting, what...what is this?"

"Kaixin, we're engaged now, kiss me!" Song Anting said, and kissed Li Kaixin's lips.

Li Kaixin immediately became enraged and lost his temper, grabbing her body, which was now only covered by her undergarment, and began to respond.

Just as they were about to move on to the next step, Li Kaixin finally regained consciousness.

He grabbed Song Anting's hand as she was pulling it down and said hoarsely, "Anting, listen to me, it's not the right time for us to do this."

"Brother Kaixin, why?" Song Anting's voice was filled with confusion. Her hand wanted to continue reaching down, but it was firmly grabbed by Li Kaixin.

"This really won't do, An Ting. You're still in school. What will happen to your studies if you get pregnant?"

Upon hearing this, Song Anting hesitated and stopped what she was doing.

After thinking for a while, she said, "Brother Kaixin, but... but I really don't want to wait anymore."

Today, Song Anting was just as shocked as her parents by the arrival of those important figures.

That's why she has such a strong sense of crisis.

"It's okay, I have a way that works the same way," Li Kaixin replied, then whispered a few more words in her ear.

Song Anting blushed even more after hearing this.

However, she did not refuse. After taking a deep breath, she began to take action.

......

The next morning, Song Anting woke up in Li Kaixin's arms.

She slowly opened her eyes, feeling the sensation against her chest, and couldn't help but spit out, "You pervert!!"

"Hey, An Ting, you didn't say that last night!" Li Kaixin chuckled, bringing his head close to her face.

"Stop fooling around!" Song Anting directly supported him with both hands. "Grandpa and Grandma, breakfast should be ready by now. Let's get up!"

Upon hearing this, Li Kaixin didn't make any further moves against her.

Upon seeing this, Song Anting immediately breathed a sigh of relief. She still blushed when she thought about what happened last night, fearing that her man would have to come again in the morning.

A few minutes later, the two got up from the kang (a heated brick bed), dressed, and went straight out the door.
