Pei Xi was also seeing this thing for the first time, so he couldn't help but feel a bit intrigued.

She leaned closer, took a piece of paper, and wanted to look at it with him, but her wrist was suddenly grabbed.

She lowered her gaze and met Jiang Cheng's eyes, which, though usually cold and expressionless, now held a distinct hint of desire.

Pei Xi swallowed subconsciously.

Jiang Cheng looks somewhat dangerous now.

Yet this danger is also fascinating.

"Want to kiss for a bit first?" she asked.

"Yes." Jiang Cheng said, and with a forceful pull, he dragged her onto his lap.

He kissed her deeply, his breath hot, his soft lips gently rubbing against hers. Pei Xi soon felt her legs go weak.

Then he laid her down on the bed and untied her bathrobe.

His fingers touched her skin, and each touch felt like a spark landing on her nerves, sending a slight shiver through her.

"Baby, don't be afraid. Tell me if it hurts." Jiang Cheng's voice was hoarse.

Pei Xi shook her head, her voice trembling slightly, "It's okay, I know it will hurt a little."

"I won't let you feel any pain," Jiang Cheng said. "Let me help you relax first."

After saying that, he leaned down and slowly kissed her, his burning lips and tongue covering hers, then gradually moving down, lingering on her neck, collarbone, chest, and lower abdomen...

Finally, he slowly lifted her nightgown and leaned down.

Her legs felt itchy from his hair pricking them.

After more than ten minutes, Jiang Cheng looked up and saw Pei Xi's flushed face. He said in a low, hoarse voice, "Baby, it should be okay now."

Pei Xi breathed slightly, "Mmm..."

Then Jiang Cheng got up, knelt on the bed, and picked up the thing he had been examining.

He unpacked the package, breathing heavily, his fingers trembling slightly.

After finishing everything, he leaned down and kissed her face, his movements tender and affectionate.

Pei Xi felt that his warm breath was like a net, tightly wrapping her up, making her feel as if she were on a cloud.

"Baby, trust me." He kissed her ear, his voice low and husky.

"Mmm." Pei Xi nodded, her arms around his neck, her voice soft and gentle, yet utterly resolute. "I believe you."

Jiang Cheng kissed her with reddened eyes.

…

The nightlight on the bedside table was bumped and swayed several times.

When a white light flashed before his eyes, Jiang Cheng's mind was filled with only three words.

He buried his face in Pei Xi's warm, damp neck and choked out, "I love you."

His mind was blank, only instinct remained. He instinctively murmured to the person in his arms, "I love you, I love you, I love you so much."

I only love you, I will always love you.

You must love me forever, okay?

Pei Xi hugged him back.

"I love you too." She gasped, absentmindedly kissing his forehead, her fingers tracing his hair. "I love you too."

“…Hmm.” A low voice came from her neck.

Both of them were sweating, but neither of them minded, and they just hugged each other tightly for who knows how long.

Then Jiang Cheng lifted his head from her neck and asked her, "Baby, let's do it again, okay?"

Pei Xi nodded.

It wasn't as painful as she had imagined.

Pei Xi knew that this was all thanks to Jiang Cheng's patience; his preliminary work was truly thorough.

Even though he was sweating profusely, he still patiently helped her adapt.

So she nodded and said softly, "Okay."

Jiang Cheng took a deep breath, then turned over and enveloped her completely.

When it was over, Pei Xi didn't know how much time had passed; he only felt that his back was about to break.

She lay on the bed, her fair arms draped over the edge, her chest rising and falling as she breathed.

Only one thing was on her mind: she finally realized how incredibly amazing he truly was...

"I want to drink water," she murmured, clutching Jiang Cheng's arm.

Jiang Cheng nodded, "Okay, I'll go get it for you."

He put on his clothes, got out of bed, and quickly came back. He didn't hand her the cup, but just let her drink it from his hand.

"Where did this warm water come from?" Pei Xi lowered his head and took a sip, somewhat surprised.

Jiang Cheng doesn't like drinking hot water, and his home only has bottled water; there's no water dispenser.

“You used the kettle to boil water when you went to take a shower.” Jiang Cheng touched her face. “I thought you must have been thirsty.”

Pei Xi was stunned for several seconds.

He's been far too thorough in his considerations.

With Jiang Cheng's help, Pei Xi gulped down several mouthfuls of water. After she finished, Jiang Cheng placed the water on the bedside table and then reached out to wipe the water droplets off her lips.

"It's time to take a shower," he said softly.

Pei Xi hummed in agreement. She was sweating a lot and felt a little uncomfortable, but her hands and feet were uncontrollably sore and weak.

The second time lasted much longer than the first, and now the exhaustion afterward completely overwhelmed me, leaving me with almost no energy left.

Before she could speak, Jiang Cheng's arm had already slipped under her knees, and he lifted her up in his arms. "I'll help you, baby."

Pei Xi clung obediently to him, too lazy to move at all.

Even though he was the one who did the work, he didn't look tired at all; he seemed to have an inexhaustible amount of energy.

Pei Xi thought that she should just enjoy it without feeling guilty.

After that, Jiang Cheng did everything for her, and she didn't lift a finger.

When he carried her back to bed, she was finally dry and clean again. Pei Xi lay on her side, nestled in the blankets, and unconsciously felt drowsy.

Jiang Cheng got into bed from the other side and hugged her from behind. Then, the next second, Pei Xi felt a suspicious touch on her lower back.

"You..." She instantly became a little more sober, turned to look at Jiang Cheng, and her eyes held a hint of pleading.

In this situation, she simply had no strength left.

Jiang Cheng smiled slightly, bent over to avoid touching her, and gently kissed her hair. "I know you're tired. I'll just hold you while we sleep, and I won't do anything else."

Pei Xi finally breathed a sigh of relief and hummed in agreement.

She was so tired that she didn't have time to worry about whether Jiang Cheng was feeling unwell. Before long, she fell asleep in his arms without realizing it.

Jiang Cheng, however, did not fall asleep for a long time.

He looked at her profile, listened to her steady breathing, and gently kissed the skin on the back of her neck.

After the kiss, he held her tightly against his chest.

"Baby, you can never leave me," he murmured in the darkness in a terrifyingly low voice.

They are a match made in heaven.

He existed for her.

He deserves to make her happy, he deserves to make her comfortable, and he deserves to stay by her side forever.

It would be reasonable for them to do the most intimate things in the world.

"We want to be together for life."

After a while, a sigh-like murmur drifted through the quiet night.
