Li Ruo rolled her eyes at him. "Should I wash first?"

Whether you stick your neck out or not, you'll still get stabbed. You've survived a hail of bullets, so this should be a piece of cake. Once you're done, you can go to sleep.

Xie Xiao closed the door, then bolted it, turned around, and put his arm around her waist. "Want to come together?"

"No, thank you." Li Ruo's face flushed slightly. "I'm not used to it."

Xie Xiao didn't insist. He helped her pour the three large buckets of water into the bathtub and then left.

Li Ruo glanced out from behind the screen and saw that he had indeed obediently walked away to the outer room, not knowing what he was doing.

She quickly took off her dirty clothes, soaked herself in the water, took out a fragrant shower gel from her spatial storage, and applied it all over her body.

Ah, that's finally a relief.

Then she took out two ceramic cups with a big "double happiness" character on them, two toothbrushes with wooden handles, and toothpaste in a small porcelain jar. She had prepared all of these in advance and placed them on the table next to the washbasin stand.

Yes, they always come in pairs.

After fighting for half a day and having a victory celebration banquet in the middle of the night, she should have been exhausted, but she wasn't sleepy at all. After washing her hair and body, she looked even more radiant.

After drinking the wine and soaking in hot water, a blush appeared under her fair skin. Li Ruo herself couldn't help but drool when she saw it. Suddenly feeling a little embarrassed, she soaked for a while before getting dressed and going out.

The newlywed, dressed in a loose-fitting, wide-sleeved dress after her bath, was as radiant as a lotus flower and as dazzling as the stars and moon. The moment she looked up at him with a hint of trepidation, Xie Xiao almost dropped the two bowls of noodles he was holding.

Li Ruo pretended to be calm as she walked over, then looked at the small kitchen with some surprise, "How did you know I was hungry? This noodle looks good."

Xie Xiao looked at her, sniffed, and suddenly felt that the noodles he made didn't taste good anymore. He swallowed twice, "Do you think I don't know whether you ate anything at the table or not?"

He put down the noodles, smiled, and said, "You eat first, I'll go wash up." He couldn't wait a moment longer.

Soon, Li Ruo heard the sound of water being poured and the rustling of clothes. She had just dried her hair and hadn't even started eating her noodles when he came out.

"So fast!" Li Ruo looked at his head and thankfully, it was still wet, proving that he had washed his hair.

She was holding a large towel, which she threw to him. Before she could let go, he pulled the towel away, drew her close, and hugged her, saying, "Help me dry off."

He was only wearing an outer garment, nothing underneath. When he moved, his muscular chest was exposed, with water droplets from his hair on it. Goodness!

Li Ruo heard herself swallow.

Touching is legal, right? Her hand acted before her brain, causing the other person to gasp, her voice hoarse, "Don't you want noodles anymore?"

Actually, he didn't want to eat anymore.

Li Ruo withdrew her hand. "Didn't you seduce me first?" She raised her hand to wipe his hair, her tone gentle. "Lower your head a little."

Xie Xiao's heart was beating a little fast. As he bent down to dry her hair, he kissed her and coaxed her, "Why don't you stop drying it? The night is still long, it will dry eventually."

Li Ruo's hand trembled slightly, and she quickly shoved the towel over his head before slipping away to eat noodles.

Xie Xiao walked over with a smile and sat down opposite her to eat noodles. He slurped them down, his eyes never leaving her face. Whether it was because the noodles were delicious or because she was pretty, his smile grew wider and more perverted. He sat closer and closer, almost touching her ear, and asked, "Are you wearing those little clothes?"

"Huh? What did you say?" Li Ruo pretended not to hear, and after a while, she chuckled.

Xie snatched the chopsticks from her hand, poured two glasses of wine, and said, "Don't eat the rest of the soup. Drink the nuptial wine. After you drink, get on with your business."

"So urgent? We can't wait any longer." It's impossible not to be nervous.

"I've waited for two lifetimes."

Xie Xiao shoved a glass of wine into her hand, made her put her arm through his, and as soon as she finished the wine, he picked her up, threw her onto the kang (a heated brick bed) covered with thick mattresses, and pulled the quilt over her...

After an incense stick has burned.

Li Ruo felt a little guilty looking at the person squatting under the kang (a heated brick bed) with a thin blanket covering his body and a bruised and swollen face.

She sat up, wrapped in a thick quilt, and beckoned to him, "Come here, this time I will not resist."

Xie Xiao stroked his chin and hissed, "I don't believe you! This is the third time you've said that."

Having a wife who can fight isn't necessarily a good thing.

Every time he was about to give in, she would strike him hard, sending him flying off the bed with a whoosh. But he couldn't hurt her too badly, what if he accidentally injured her?

他凶巴巴的说：“你是不是不想嫁给我，为什么我靠近你就揍我。”

Li Ruo looked guilty. "I just reflexively activated my self-protection mechanism when I thought about the possibility of getting hurt."

"Hmph, what conditioned reflex? I don't understand it, and I don't want to hear it." Xie Xiao angrily turned his head away, leaving her with a stubborn profile.

It's a bit pitiful.

Li Ruo's rare maternal instincts surged, "Husband, why don't you tie my hands this time, then I won't be able to beat you up, right?"

The word "husband" made Xie Xiao's spirits lift. He turned his head and asked, half-believing, half-doubting, "Really?"

Even pearls aren't that real.

"Okay, then I'll tie you up." Xie said, then happily climbed onto the kang (a heated brick bed), with Li Ruo personally handing him a ribbon and a handkerchief.

The kang (heated brick bed) was warm and cozy, and a faint blush rose on the woman's face, neck, and shoulders, like the glow of dawn on snow or the sun breaking through the clouds—a breathtaking sight.

Xie Xiao swallowed hard, placed her hands above her head, and tied them up in a few quick movements.

Li Ruo: This seems a bit shameful.

Xie Xiao smiled smugly, "So this is what Madam likes. You should have said so earlier." Now he can't hit him, can he?

Everything is ready.

Xie Xiao slipped under the covers, grabbed her waist, and having learned from his previous experience, this time he pinned her legs down as well.

Skin to skin felt like a fire, and he felt every meridian in his body boiling. Excited, he kissed her lips again, conquering her territory.

Both of them entered a state of complete absorption, a state that could be described as quite wonderful, and it seemed they were about to—

Suddenly, with a "smack," someone flew far away!

With a soft "biu" sound, it landed on the inner door, leaving two sweaty five-finger marks on the surface, before slowly falling...

Li Ruo sat up in surprise, stunned by what she saw. She threw away the broken ribbon in her hand, put on an overcoat, and ran downstairs, asking, "Husband, are you alright?"

Xie Xiao, gritting his teeth, said, "What do you think!"

Waaah, the wedding night is too difficult, I don't want to have a wedding night anymore.

"It's okay, it's okay, let's do it again."

"Of course you're alright! I don't believe you anymore." Xie Xiao sobbed as he returned to bed, looking utterly hopeless. He pulled the covers over himself and said, "Go to sleep early, honey."

Li Ruo felt extremely guilty and hugged him from behind to comfort him, but the man seemed unmoved. Oh no, would he be traumatized by the beating?

Amitabha Buddha, I have sinned.

Or, how about she does it this time?
