It's hard to quit, but it's the perfect marriage!

Another night of passion.

Zhu Xi welcomed him, and Zhou Yinghuai put his words into action.

The two are a match made in heaven, their souls are in perfect harmony and their bodies are in sync.

The hustle and bustle passed by, and the brocade blankets billowed in the wind.

Zhu Xi lay on the azure pillow, her clear eyes lightly closed, her forehead hair damp.

Zhou Yinghuai pressed close to her, his breathing just even, his eyes brimming with smiles, it was the first time in recent days that he had truly felt satisfied.

His large hand, under the thin blanket, traced along her elbow to her wrist bone, extending to her equally damp fingertips.

He held her fingers together, one by one, and clasped his hands together.

Zhu Xi felt the weight of the intrusion again and snorted softly, "Stop bothering me."

A deep laugh rang in my ears, the voice gentle, "I won't bother you, I won't bother you."

Zhou Yinghuai pressed his hand against her shoulder blades, "Are you still conscious?"

Zhu Xi nodded vaguely, accompanied by a soft hum like a cat, which was a response to the ambiguous smile of the man behind her.

Then he turned her around, from lying face down to lying on her back, her wet hair spreading out, stirring up a wisp of dark, sandalwood fragrance.

She barely opened her tired eyes, the redness in them still lingering.

"What's up?"

Zhou Yinghuai took her hand and kissed it. "I'm afraid I'll have to go out tomorrow afternoon."

"Where to?" Before Zhou Yinghuai could reply, she added, "Let's go."

Zhou Yinghuai rarely speaks.

She understands.

The fact that he asked the question meant there was no room for negotiation.

Zhu Xi moved her head slightly, allowing her to see the male figure emanating from the shadows more clearly.

Just now, as I floated up and down, my senses were clear, but my vision was blurred by tears.

At this moment, in the calm lake where the tenderness had dissipated, Zhu Xi once again peered into the depths of the man she deeply loved.

Zhou Yinghuai lowered his head, sucked on her rosy lips, and kneaded her small earlobe.

He seemed to be pouting, "Honey, aren't you afraid of spoiling me by agreeing to everything I say?"

"What would happen if you said you were afraid?" She yawned, not moving her waist, but only shifting her neck slightly. "And what would happen if you weren't afraid?"

Zhou Yinghuai kissed her lips again, his left hand plunging into the azure water to find her soft, white skin.

He didn't reply, but showed Zhu Xi the most truthful answer through his actions.

Zhu Xi laughed comfortably as large hands kneaded and massaged her aching waist with even pressure.

"Spoil me, my wife," Zhou Yinghuai said forcefully. "Spoil me as much as you like."

Zhu Xi giggled, her side itching terribly, "Don't tickle me!"

"It itches~"

"Oops~"

With a burst of laughter, Zhu Xi couldn't dodge or avoid it, so she simply moved her body and kicked him in the chest with her right foot.

The thin blanket slipped off, revealing a fair and delicate pinkish-white skin.

Zhou Yinghuai tried to do something malicious, but Zhu Xi saw right through him.

She scolded playfully, "Zhou Yinghuai!!!"

Zhou Yinghuai massaged her slender ankles, deliberately lowering his voice, "Wife."

"Let's get down to business!" She glanced at Zhou Yinghuai unintentionally, frowning as she said, "Don't be so energetic."

Zhou Yinghuai glanced at himself, both amused and exasperated. He moved her ankle away to find her bright eyes and lips. "I can't control myself."

Zhu Xi dodged his gentle advances and sweet talk, and the two played hide-and-seek on the large bed.

"You're not an eighteen-year-old anymore, what are you talking about, 'can't control myself'!"

Zhou Yinghuai pulled her into his arms, his arm around her waist. "You think I'm too old?"

This signal was not good, and Zhu Xi immediately felt uneasy.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

She once again became Zhou Yinghuai's possession, ushering in a vibrant and enchanting chapter in the story of Yunshui Qudiao.

"Oh dear, please don't do that..."

The sound stopped, and the crabapple blossoms outside the window bloomed all night long.

The moonlight was as beautiful as a flower, and the light and shadow were graceful.

Those who are intertwined will remain entangled for a long time.

-

The following afternoon, Zhu Xi was dressed neatly by Zhou Yinghuai and carried into the car.

Master Bai is back on duty.

Seeing Zhu Xi looking drowsy, he quickly turned his head away and laughed for a long time.

The rear doors closed gently, and the driver's side starter was released slowly.

And so, Zhu Xi slept in Zhou Yinghuai's arms the whole way.

Today I'm here to have my measurements taken.

The auspicious wedding attire worn by the couple.

Ms. Guan, Zhou's mother, was also there.

As they approached the store, Zhou Yinghuai gently patted her face to wake her up.

Zhu Xi snorted, turned around, and faced inward.

With this movement, the heat from his breath, even through the fabric of his shirt, landed entirely on Zhou Yinghuai's abdominal muscles.

Zhou Yinghuai smiled, pinched her earlobe, and whispered, "You're going to meet your mother-in-law soon."

"Huh?" Zhu Xi snapped out of her daze and, in her haste to get up, bumped into Zhou Yinghuai's chin.

The two men groaned in pain at the same time.

Zhu Xi's forehead was red.

"Zhou Yinghuai!" She was angry; her voice was a little nasal from sleeping too long. "Why didn't you say anything when you left?"

"I told you," Zhou Yinghuai swore, "I said I'm going to see your mother-in-law later and wake you up."

Zhu Xi: "..."

"You didn't react at all," Zhou Yinghuai said again. "So, I made the decision myself."

Zhu Xi frowned, "Who told you to make such a fuss last night? The bathroom was already limiting your activities, so you had to go to the kitchen."

She always spoke her reproaches too quickly, and by the time she realized that Master Bai was also there, her fair face turned as red as an apple in an instant.

He grabbed a cushion from the car and gave it a few blows to Zhou Yinghuai, who was laughing loudly.

I've really lost face today.

So much so that when getting off the bus, Zhu Xi ignored Zhou Yinghuai, who was struggling to suppress his laughter.

This is a quiet place hidden in the bustling city, tucked away in a long, deep alley.

Zhu Xi had heard Zhou Lingyi mention that her wedding dress was made here.

Unable to drive in, Master Bai stood beside the car watching the two playfully bickering as they walked away, and muttered, "May this loving couple live a long and happy life together."

Zhou Yinghuai was shaken off by Zhu Xi several times, but he shamelessly chased after her each time.

"Don't pull me, you're not the type to do this." Zhu Xi rolled her eyes, snatched the parasol from his hand, and refused to accept his kindness.

Zhou Yinghuai circled around her on both sides, and finally simply took a few quick steps, walked past her, and turned around.

One step forward, one step back.

One coaxed, the other laughed.

The light stretched the shadows of the two people on the bluestone slab, and also trampled Zhu Xi's petty complaints behind them.

As they approached the door, Zhou Yinghuai took her wrist and knocked on the wooden door.

"We only took measurements, nothing else was arranged," he said. "This will be finished quickly; I'll take you somewhere later."

Zhu Xi: "Aren't you going to have dinner with Mom?"

"Need not."

The door opened.

The woman in the cheongsam smiled gently, "Mrs. Zhou, Mr. Zhou."

"Um."

"This way, please."

As Zhu Xi stepped into this secluded spot brimming with ancient charm, her heart inexplicably calmed down.

A gentle breeze wafts through the corridor, carrying the faint scent of perfume.

The woman always kept a distance of two or three steps from them, neither hurried nor slow.

Zhou Yinghuai asked, "Has Master Gu arrived?"

The woman turned to the side. "We've arrived. I'm having tea with the old lady."

Zhu Xi's hand was gripped tightly as she heard Zhou Yinghuai whisper in her ear, "Master Gu will definitely like you very much."
