Chapter 31 - Wedding Day (1/2)

Luo Nan lay himself on Dong Ci’s body. He was very satisfied with the speed of her physical recovery, as her bosom was becoming ampler day by day. They were going to get married on May Day. By then she would wear the wedding dress and become the most beautiful bride.

Dong Ci lay beneath him. She was familiar with Luo Nan’s body and accustomed to his love-making rhythm. He knew all her sensitive parts and as long as he wanted, he could easily arouse her desire. At this moment, she was immersed in her thoughts while enjoying the sex-thrill.

Although they two closely merged into an organic whole, there was still another man existing between them. Although Dong Ci was having sex with Luo Nan, she was thinking about Chen Qi. They were seemingly in harmony but actually at variance; they slept in the same bed but dreamed different dreams.

Did she want her fiance or lover? Did he want her body or soul? That was a hard question for both of them.

Luo Nan sensed that Dong Ci’s vagina was very dry, so he stopped and asked, “Don’t you feel well?”

She invented an excuse, “No. It’s just because the drug I have been taken recently has side effects. It affects my sexual appetite.”

Dong Ci stared at the curtain behind which those three female ghosts had often hidden before. To her disappointment, they didn’t appear. She hoped that they could appear so that she could ask them where Chen Qi was. ‘Should I go to the Windflower Manor tomorrow to see if he is at home? Maybe he has lost his cell phone, or his phone book has got drenched by the rain so that he can’t remember my number. Maybe his cell phone has fallen into the toilet and he hasn’t bought a new one yet. ‘Do you miss me?’ That must be the first question he asks me when we meet tomorrow,’ she thought.

Luo Nan said, “Shall I get some olive oil for you?”

“Yeah okay.” Dong Ci turned on the light and watched Luo Nan walking naked towards the refrigerator, without shyness. His sturdy hip looked beautiful in the lamplight. ‘He’s a very normal man,’ she thought.

After taking a bottle of olive oil from the refrigerator, Luo Nan turned around and saw Dong Ci staring at him with fixed eyes. He blushed and covered his penis with his hands. “You little rascal! What are you looking at? Haven’t you ever seen a handsome boy show off his elephant?” With that he went back to the bed.

Dong Ci smiled and turned off the light. When two people lived together, their ways of speaking might gradually become the same. In the past, when he had stared at her taking a shower, she had said, “You hooligan! What are you looking at? Haven’t you ever seen a beautiful, naked lady take a shower?”

Luo Nan dipped his fingers into the olive oil, and then began to lubricate her vagina. He kissed every inch of her body with his passionate tongue. A wave of desire possessed them and pushed them to their orgasms. She felt as if she was floating in the air, riding the crest of the wave and in the heaven of bliss. At this moment, she put aside her emotional problems and devoted herself to sex.

Since she was released from the hospital, it was the first time she had ascended to the peak of bliss. A loud groan of relief from her mouth pierced the night air and sounded an end to his wild movements.

We did our best to pursue pleasure. We were in the world of mortals. We couldn’t see through the emptiness of the material world; if someday we could, for sure, we would lose interest in making love.

It was already spring. Willows had burgeoned forth and bunches of flowers were in full bloom. As Zhu Ziqing said in his article Spring, “Everything seems to be awoken from sleep, opening his eyes drawlingly.” All was quiet in the dead of night. Lying in his arms, she felt the warmth of the early spring and heard the chirps of insects outside.

They were both tired and fell asleep soon. A big gray moth crawled into the room from the windowsill. It flew about haphazardly and the powder from its wings was scattered all over the floor. There was a lamp in the bathroom. It gave out a bright light. The moth flew towards it. Unfortunately, it was a lure lamp and the moth was electrocuted. A smell of burning clung to the room. Dong Ci sniffed unconsciously and woke up. She scratched her head and murmured to herself, “I seem to catch a smell of roasted human meat.”

The next morning, Luo Nan urged Dong Ci to eat breakfast. Then he stroked her hair and said, “If you feel bored, you can go out for shopping. I have put some money in the drawer.”

“Okay, I see.” Dong Ci turned the cup upside down and said, “I’ll go to your company to see you when I have time.”
