She didn't say anything, and Xie Shuhe couldn't see her face, so he didn't know what she was thinking and could only wait.

After a while, he felt a hand on his hand. It was not the entire palm, but the tips of two fingers gently touched his hand.

Then the hand went around his arm.

This suggestive action made Xie Shuhe a little excited.

Is she going to drink the wedding wine with me?

No, Xie Shuhe, don't be happy too soon. Maybe she is just too kind. Even though she knows that you are deceiving her, she doesn't want to embarrass him in front of outsiders.

Xie Shuhe put the wine to his lips in a daze and drank it all in one gulp.

He drank too quickly and choked on the wine. He put down the glass and started coughing.

Her hand fell on his back, and her voice reached his ears: "Are you okay?"

A voice of anxious concern.

Xie Shuhe hurriedly shook his head: "No... cough cough... nothing."

His throat was itchy and there was still some residual wine in it. He felt very uncomfortable, but he tried his best to stop coughing.

Seeing this, the bridesmaid said, "I wish the two newlyweds a happy marriage and a son soon."

Jun Li remembered Gao Yingrou's previous instructions and took out a silver ingot and gave it to Xiniang. After Xiniang thanked her, she happily went out.

Apart from the two wedding candles, there were only the two of them in the room.

Jun Li was afraid that he really felt guilty, so she grabbed his hand and said cheerfully, "I didn't expect it to be you."

There was no resentment or disgust in the voice. Xie Shuhe felt that the other person's hand was very hot, while his hand was very cold.

"Don't you blame me?" Xie Shuhe said slowly, "When you said your name, I knew you were my fiancée, but I didn't tell you my name and asked you to marry someone like me..."

He paused briefly, then lowered his eyes and added, "Blind man."

The blush on his face from the violent coughing just now was fading away, like the sunset glow on the horizon.

The candlelight beside him made his face look as white as jade, and his eyes were like thick black ink, blurred and difficult to see clearly.

Jun Li asked him, "Do you think I despise you?"

Xie Shuhe never expected her to ask so bluntly, and quickly uttered a word: "No..."

The sound seemed to be blown away by a gust of wind.

To put it bluntly, he still felt in his heart that he disliked him.

Jun Li looked at him and said, "There's nothing to dislike about it. Do you think I really just happened to find you and ask for directions that day? Little brother, I just thought you were good-looking and wanted to get close to you, that's all."

Xie Shuhe didn't understand what the little brother meant, but he thought it was probably what he meant by brother. After hearing that, the blush that had not completely dissipated became deeper, just like she had applied rouge.

He felt that what she said was not something a girl should say, but he also felt that it was particularly cute coming from her heart.

Finally, he could only say: "You——"

And then nothing happened.

She took Xie Shuhe's hand. His hand was as white as his face, and the bones of his ten fingers were clearly visible. His cold hand felt like jade in her hand.

He should have pulled his hand away.

but--

There was no strength to pull away.

He didn't want to pull away.

Letting her lead him, Xie Shuhe heard him say again: "I originally thought I was going to marry a stranger, but I didn't expect it to be you. In fact, I am very happy. After all, I coveted your beauty that night. Now that you have become my husband, I don't have to covet it anymore."
