In the bathroom, the showerhead continuously poured out warm water.

Jiang Xia pressed a pump of shower gel, rubbed it between his hands to spread it slowly, and then gently applied it to Lin Yanwan's delicate and smooth skin.

Her body trembled slightly, and in the hazy mist, it seemed as if her whole body was enveloped in a light pink hue.

"Husband, not here..." she said, biting her lip, her rosy cheeks flushed with shyness.

This young body's first time should be spent in endless intimacy with the one she loves most in bed, not in a cold bathroom.

"Um……"

Jiang Xia's breathing was slightly hurried. He swallowed hard, suppressing his impulse, and focused on cleaning both of their bodies thoroughly.

Then, he wrapped her perfect body in a clean bath towel, and with a little force in his arms, he picked her up and carried her into the bedroom.

Lin Yanwan wrapped her arms around his neck, pressed her face against his chest, and listened to his noticeably faster heartbeat. Her eyes gradually became misty and hazy.

Jiang Xia pushed open the door. The bedroom was dark, but he skillfully found the bed and gently placed his wife on it. The towel covering her body had been removed without his noticing.

Lin Yanwan pulled the blanket over her body. In the darkness, her breathing became slightly rapid, and her body began to heat up involuntarily.

Jiang Xia squeezed into the quilt, his breath trembling as he hugged her smooth, slender waist. He deeply inhaled the pleasant scent of rose shower gel, slowly kissing her delicate shoulders and soft lips.

Lin Yanwan wrapped her arms around his neck and responded passionately, letting out a soft whimper accompanied by a slight panting breath, the warm, fragrant breeze caressing her cheeks.

"Darling, be gentle with me..."

◇

Outside the window, the night deepened.

Before I knew it, the winter rain replaced the previous swirling snow with a more intense downpour.

The windows rattled and banged, and the flowerbeds downstairs were battered by the rain and wind, ruthlessly destroying the buds that had finally begun to bloom in the winter.

A fierce wind raged, and petals soaked with rainwater fluttered and scattered. The lonely blades of grass were forced into the raging storm, helplessly swaying and bending.

As water gradually accumulated in the neighborhood, some people returning home late at night ran along with umbrellas, wading through the deep and shallow water. If they were not careful, they would be covered in mud.

The fierce wind and torrential rain continued all night, and only when dawn broke did the raging winter rain gradually subside.

The sky began to lighten with the first light of dawn.

In the residential area, withered flowers were piled up on the ground, and the path that had been trampled by passersby in a hurry last night was muddy.

The early birds peeked out of their nests, gently spread their wings, shook off the rainwater that soaked their feathers, and quickly flew away.

Hearing the chirping of birds outside the window, Jiang Xia slowly opened her eyes. Despite having worked hard all night, she was surprisingly energetic.

He looked down at his wife, who was sleeping peacefully in his arms. Her delicate face was streaked with tears.

Jiang Xia smiled slightly, kissed her forehead, carefully climbed out of bed, and covered her with the blanket.

He got dressed and went to the window. Seeing the mess outside the neighborhood, he couldn't help but sigh, "The rain last night was really heavy."

I glanced at the time; it was just past seven in the morning. Remembering that I had to go to the company to host the morning meeting later, I went out to buy breakfast.

The security door closed gently, and a while later, Lin Yanwan woke up slowly. The blankets were filled with the scent of Jiangxia, but she didn't see anyone when she opened her eyes.

If I weren't familiar with his character, I would almost have thought he was a heartless scumbag.

She secretly lifted the covers and saw the bloodstains on the sheets. Thinking of their passionate night, a hint of shyness flashed in her eyes.

A little while later, Jiang Xia returned with steaming hot soy milk and fried dough sticks, intending to give his wife some nourishment.

Hearing the noise, Lin Yanwan immediately shrank her naked body under the covers. She looked at Jiang Xia, who walked into the bedroom, and hummed softly, "Scumbag."

He used to let her sleep in his arms until she naturally woke up, but now that he's taken her body, she's nowhere to be found when he wakes up the next day.

"Men are all the same; once they get something, they don't think about cherishing it. He kept saying to be gentle, but he almost broke me apart. I'm in so much pain now," she said, pouting.

Jiang Xia felt slightly embarrassed. He was quite gentle at first, but gradually he got carried away with his passion. It has to be said that an 18-year-old's body is really full of energy.

"Hmm, shall I rub it for you?"

"Get away from me! You're bound to do something naughty if you keep rubbing me, and I'm not doing it today!"

Jiang Xia chuckled, not minding his wife's joke; he understood the principle.

"Where did you go so early in the morning?" Lin Yanwan asked.

"I went to buy you breakfast. Do you want some soy milk and fried dough sticks?"

"Yes!" Yan Wan said, her stomach was already hungry last night.

She was about to get up and wash when Jiang Xia forcibly pushed her back down.

"You should rest today. It's best to stay in bed and not go anywhere. Call me if you need anything." Jiang Xia squeezed out some toothpaste and brought over a mouthwash cup.

Lin Yanwan chuckled; this guy seemed fairly satisfied with her attitude.

She brushed her teeth in bed, rinsed her mouth with clean water more than ten times, and then spat it all into the trash can.

"I also want to eat fried dough sticks soaked in soy milk, you feed me!" Lin Yanwan tilted her head back gently, as if she was coaxing him.

"Ah—open your mouth."

"Ah—it's open."

The two of them acted like children, one feeding the other, their cooperation was perfect.

After breakfast, Lin Yanwan shrank back into the blankets, leaving only her head sticking out.

"Are you going to the company right now?" she asked.

Jiang Xia nodded: "Today is the first day after the new year, we have to go."

He turned to look at his wife and smiled, "You don't need to go. Just stay home and wait for me to come back. It shouldn't take long, maybe half a day at most."

"Mm." Lin Yanwan nodded gently.

Before Jiang Xia left, Lin Yanwan called out to him, "Dog, you've changed. Aren't you going to give me a hug?"

He chuckled softly, walked to the bedside, and gently lifted a corner of the blanket, only to find that she was still not dressed.

"Look, how am I supposed to hug you like this?"

Lin Yanwan angrily said, "You dared to do bad things to me last night, but you don't dare to hug me today?"

She pounced on Jiang Xia and straddled him, determined to plant two fresh hickeys on his neck before she would stop.

Jiang Xia couldn't help but find it amusing. Before they took that final step, he was always hesitant and coy when he wanted to be intimate with her, but now she was actively flirting with him.

He gently patted her supple skin twice, gazing at her with a hint of passion in his eyes.

"Would you like to do some morning exercise again?"
