When Gan Qiongying finally woke up the next day, it was already dusk, and the sun had set.

She opened her eyes and moved slightly. The arm that was wrapped around her waist inside the blanket immediately tightened around her waist, pulling her back against the hot chest behind her.

Gan Qiongying immediately felt a soothing warmth from the inside out, a feeling of two people's body temperature permeating each other, a feeling of being tightly embraced by another person without any barriers or obstacles.

It's really hard for anyone to understand unless they've experienced it firsthand.

Gan Qiongying sighed comfortably, her head resting on Li Hua's arm. She curled up in the blankets and soon turned over to face Li Hua.

Li Hua opened his eyes at this moment.

The two met eyes and smiled naturally.

Li Hua pulled Gan Qiongying's head close and pressed it against his neck, leaning towards Gan Qiongying and almost pinning half of Gan Qiongying's body down beneath him.

Their calves rubbed against each other, and their toes wiggled and twisted under the blanket.

Waking up from a dream to find yourself holding your beloved in your arms feels even more unreal than a dream.

Li Hua had always liked to be close to people, and at this moment, he was so comfortable with Gan Qiongying that he could only sigh.

“It’s already afternoon, we should get up.” Gan Qiongying’s face flushed slightly as she spoke.

Because her voice was unusually hoarse, just like the hoarse voice she had when she and her best friends sang all night at a karaoke bar on the night she graduated from high school.

Back then, the sisters would tease each other the next morning, saying it sounded like they'd just had a three-hundred-round battle with someone.

And last night, Gan Qiongying really did have a big fight with someone... well, it must have been about six hundred rounds.

After all, when Li Hua really gets wild, it's quite irresistible.

Gan Qiongying tried to call a stop after the second round, but was pulled back by her ankle.

Having watched so many movies and TV shows, she only realized how intense and painful it felt to have her ankle grabbed and pulled after experiencing it firsthand.

And she started to neglect exercise after she came into this world. People still need to exercise.

Life lies in movement.

Otherwise, when my legs are hoisted onto your shoulders, it feels like my muscles are being torn apart.

People say that there are only oxen that die from exhaustion, not land that is over-plowed. Gan Qiongying was the first to give in last night. She said all sorts of nice things, pleading and calling out to her husband. She couldn't hold back her trembling legs and even squeezed out two drops of cat urine. Finally, Li Hua stopped, feeling sorry for her. She had really lost face.

Gan Qiongying decided to start training her physical fitness from today. She refused to believe that once she was as strong as Schwarzenegger, Li Hua would be defeated!

Gan Qiongying couldn't help but laugh as she leaned on Li Hua's shoulder, imagining herself transformed into a muscular woman and riding Li Hua, making him cry.

Of course, that's just wishful thinking. With her small frame, it would be difficult for her to even gain some weight, let alone become Schwarzenegger.

"What are you laughing at?" Li Hua asked, her voice slightly hoarse.

After all, Gan Qiongying wasn't the only one practicing her voice last night. Gan Qiongying said she liked listening to Li Hua hum, and Li Hua never hid her joy again.

How can I describe it?

Anyway, Gan Qiongying was completely captivated by what she heard, and if she hadn't been unable to resist, she would definitely have been completely drained of her marrow by Li Hua, this "little vixen".

“I wasn’t laughing at anything, I’m so hungry,” Gan Qiongying said. “Aren’t you hungry too?”

"You've put in so much effort, are your knees sore today?"

After the two of them had become thoroughly familiar with each other last night, and because Li Hua had just woken up, she was still feeling languid and shy. In her drowsy state, she actually answered Gan Qiongying: "My left leg is a little sore... I'll apply a hot compress in a bit and it'll be fine."

Gan Qiongying looked up at Li Hua. Li Hua had her eyes closed, her messy hair draped over her face, and the warm sunlight of dusk shone through the oiled paper, bathing the room in a warm glow.

Li Hua was as handsome as an oil painting. Gan Qiongying kissed his chin and said, "It's okay, I'll be on top tonight!"

"I... um."

Li Hua covered Gan Qiongying's mouth with great precision.

Then he opened his eyes slightly, with a smile full of tenderness, and lowered his head to kiss Gan Qiongying's forehead.

After a night of in-depth investigation, he had come to realize that Gan Qiongying was a paper tiger.

She talks a big game, making Li Hua blush and feel flustered with just a few words, but when it comes to real action, she just crawls all over the bed.

Therefore, Li Hua's gaze was somewhat teasing, which made Gan Qiongying blush.

The two of them, like two ripe apples, sat facing each other for a while in the early morning. Then, Gan Qiongying pushed Li Hua away, feeling a little embarrassed, and got out of bed first.

Then, she angrily put on her wide, flowing robe and prepared to get out of bed and call Manyue in to help her get dressed.

As soon as his foot touched the ground, he dove straight down and fell to the ground with a "plop," hitting his shoulder painfully.

Li Hua practically jumped out of bed, ran to Gan Qiongying's side, and helped her up, her face full of worry: "How are you? Are you alright?"

Gan Qiongying rubbed her shoulder, groaning in pain, mainly because she was embarrassed...

It turns out that the story in the novel about legs going weak the next day is true.

However, Gan Qiongying was not convinced, because she felt that the reason her legs were weak last night was because she had strained her hamstrings when she suggested fancy poses and did a split.

But as soon as Gan Qiongying saw Li Hua, she forgot all about rubbing her shoulders.

Because Li Hua was in such a hurry to get off the bed to help her, she wasn't even wearing a piece of cloth, her long hair was all over her body, and she squatted there like an elf who had wandered into the human world.

Gan Qiongying truly believed that she was not lustful.

She's just a little... well, her heart rate is off.

Because if someone looks exactly like you, you love them and they love you, your souls are in sync, and you happen to be husband and wife, then you are a perfect match.

When the other person appears in front of you like this, it's hard not to get distracted.

Perhaps it was because Gan Qiongying's gaze was too intense that Li Hua finally realized her own state and immediately got up, pulled the quilt over herself, and wrapped herself up.

His clothes were loosely draped over Gan Qiongying, and she didn't really cover up anything that she should or shouldn't have covered up.

The two, separated for so long, were like dry wood meeting a raging fire, deeply in love, newlyweds... and it looked like their passion was about to reignite.

Li Hua had already pulled Gan Qiongying into the blankets with him, but Gan Qiongying quickly pressed down on Li Hua's shoulders, saying, "Wait, wait, wait, wait!"

"I now know you're wild, and I love it! I'm giving you a shout-out!"

"But whatever you want to do, you have to let me eat first. People need food to live on. I'm starving if I don't eat... I haven't eaten for two meals. I won't be full if I just eat what you give me."

Li Hua wasn't a lustful person to begin with; he just found the way he looked at Gan Qiongying so irritating that he decided to tease her.

Unexpectedly, Gan Qiongying's words were like a dog's mouth—utterly unappealing.

It took Li Hua a while to realize what she meant by "you won't be full if you just eat."
