Chapter 20 - Carving (1/2)

Proofread by Liang Yaping

Getting marriage license was one thing, but to live with a man was another. Ji Xiaoli always felt that she was not ready, or she didn’t have that awareness.

But it’s no use crying over spilled milk. What they could do was, as he said, learning to accept it.

After dinner, they went upstairs together. Ji Xiaoli went to the master bedroom slowly. When she saw the big bed, her face became blushed because of the memory of the night that they two had spent here.

“Will you take a bath?” Qin Zhenyang was happy when he saw his wife’s rose face, and raised his thin lips slightly.

Ji Xiaoli was eager to find some place to hide quickly, too. She nodded, took some clothes from the trunk, slipped into the bathroom, and slammed the door behind her.

The girl in the mirror who had a pair of watery eyes and flushing cheeks seemed to have been different from the former herself.

She took off her clothes to let the warm water flow through her body. She closed her eyes agreeably. It’s so comfortable to take a shower after a day’s hard work.

However, after showering, she found she was not that lucky.

She took all the underwear except for the towel. It might be left in Qi Xiaoguang’s house. She patted her head, wrapped herself in her bathrobe, opened the bathroom door a little and stretched her head out.

“Qin Zhenyang?”

The man leaned back on the sofa and idly looked through the military magazine. He was not in the state to read it, especially when he heard the sound of water splashing in the bathroom. He seemed to think of something…

And his breath became hot.

After all, he was used to living alone. Anyway, he was accustomed to the life with a person who suddenly appeared in his life, perhaps just because this person was her.

And a call in a low cat-mewing-like voice came into his ears. He raised his head suddenly and, sure enough, saw the ‘little cat’ poking out her head and calling to him. He threw aside the magazine and strode to her.

He raised his lips with a sort of spoiling, “Do you forget something?”

Ji Xiaoli carried the wrapped bath towel with one hand and scratched her head with the other, which made her obviously very helpless: “I did not take the towel back. Is there more in the home?

“Yes!”

Ji Xiaoli raised her head and looked at him, “Where is it?”

“That gray one, but I have used it before.” Qi Zhenyang gave her a playful look.

Ji Xiaoli glared at him.

“Just joking! The white one next to it is new. You can use it!”

Ji Xiaoli stuck her tongue out to him and closed the bathroom door quickly for fear that he would come in. Actually, Qin Zhenyang was a wise rogue. When his wife was so alert, he wouldn’t act.

Ji Xiaoli lay in the bed after showering. She felt at sea when hearing the sound of water. She rolled on the big bed. But she was stunned when she found the condoms in the nightstand.

“Have you slept?” Half of the big bed suddenly sank. When the man raised the quilt and came in, a breath of peppermint flavor came over Ji Xiaoli’s heart.

Bang bang bang (Her heart beat heavily)

They did have more imitate behavior. But this time was the first time after marriage, so her feeling was totally different.

Being shy or nervous, Ji Xiaoli kept motionless, pretending to be a dead woman in a corner of the bed.

Qin Zhenyang smiled and he knew she was playing possum especially through her fluttering eyelashes. But he didn’t expose her. Instead, he reached out to untie the robe at her waist.

“Stop!”

Qin zhenyang spread his hands, “Are you going to wear this to sleep? Are you sure it’s not hot? Or are you afraid I’m going to do something?”

Ji Xiaoli swallowed her saliva, then she found that his robe has been taken off earlier. His upper body was bare and of the bronzing light, only wearing a black CK underpants.

The moment he took a step forward, she took a step back.

“I’m not afraid. Anyway, we have done it before. Isn’t it all the same?” Ji Xiaoli contended. While she was uncertain at heart.

“Yes, you’re right! We are couples now. We can make everything we want! Since it is so, just take off your clothes! Aren’t we supposed to be honest with each other?” Qin Zhenyang’s eyes were moving from her flushing cheeks to her red earlobe edge, and then he gave an extremely unkindly playful smile.

Ji Xiaoli was not herself when the belt in her waist was loosened by him until a burst of coldness in the chest made her thoroughly sober. She pointed at Qin Zhenyang but could not give a word.

“You’re a rogue from the past to now!”

Qin Zhenyang wrapped her fingers in his warm palm and said with a smile, “That’s not right! Was it that I did not know before, but now you are my wife. I do things with you just as husband and wife do, how can I be called rogue?”

“Are you getting into your role too fast?”

Qin Zhenyang pulled her to his bosom, and then his strong body immediately came upon her. He raised a wild smile: “Fast? Not fast at all! But if you want to try a faster one, I’m quite willing!”

Feeling her soft body and charming fragrance in his bosom, he raised her chin, stared at her blushing face, and kissed her tender and lovely lips.

Ji Xiaoli was about to stop breathing due to the hot, long kiss. The chaos of the brain made her blank with her little hands grasping his waist unconsciously.

“Zhen…yang…”

“I’m here.” There was no discomfort or pain in him, but he grew more and more animated by her cry, and kissed her more wildly and more wantonly. His unruly hands came upon her waist and rubbed it back and forth.

“Call my name again!”

“Zhen…yang…Qin Zhenyang…”

He began to stop kissing her feverishly and pecked her face softly instead. The tip of his mint-favor tongue passed one by one over her beautiful features, along the smooth neck, leaving a faint red mark on the beautiful neck, and the thin lips gradually moved down…

Ji Xiaoli began to cater to him slowly after her rejection at first and put her hand around his neck to react to his considerate and wild kiss again and again.

Maybe.

She was trying to accept him step by step but she just didn’t realize it.
