One year brought a great drought, the next year floods, and then, in a blink, a plague.
The Xu family fled from the north to the south, and then from the south back to the north.
Before...
Xu Ning opened his mouth to make a sound, but found that Jiang Yan had come in and deepened the kiss.
Xu Ning struggled to open his eyes, but saw Jiang Yan with a pious look on his face.
Her nervous heart suddenly calmed down. Jiang Yan moved very lightly, and his tongue went from probing to dancing with her.
"Aning, breathe." Jiang Yan raised his head and looked at her lovingly.
Xu Ning took a deep breath and realized that she had been holding her breath.
Her face became even redder, and in the candlelight it looked as if it was about to bleed.
Jiang Yan turned over and knelt on top of Xu Ning at some point. When their lips parted, tears welled up in Xu Ning's eyes and Jiang Yan's eyes turned red.
Xu Ning's hand was on his chest, and the hot temperature and touch made her hand tremble uncontrollably.
Xu Ning turned his face away in embarrassment, and Jiang Yan waved his hand and the bed curtain was lowered.
"Aning." Jiang Yan's fingers gently stroked the corners of her eyes, cheeks and chin, and gently held her turned away face back. Xu Ning was so shy that she curled up her toes when she met his eyes. He looked so gentle that it seemed as if tears were about to drip.
Jiang Yan's hand lingered on the collarbone.
"Hmm?" Xu Ning's voice was nasal after the tension. Jiang Yan's Adam's apple rolled, and he lowered his head to kiss her softly, replacing his heartbeat.
"You are beautiful." Jiang Yan leaned close to her ear, and his voice blew over with heat. Xu Ning's ears felt itchy and she shivered.
Men always seem to learn this without any guidance.
"Is it okay, Aning?" Jiang Yan's hand was still lingering above the collarbone, and Xu Ning was so amused by him that her toes curled up.
He actually asked her if it was okay?
Big brother, it's our wedding night, can we have it?!
Xu Ning glared at him angrily. Jiang Yan chuckled softly, and the sound was very unfair. Xu Ning began to feel uncomfortable all over.
"You..." Xu Ning wanted to say, if you don't come over, I will go to sleep.
Jiang Yan seemed to know that he had gone too far, and kisses fell like heavy rain, and clothes were thrown out from under the bed curtains.
**
The mandarin ducks' red quilt is rolling in the waves, and the wedding candles burn until dawn.
When the two woke up, the sun was already hanging in the sky.
Xu Ning woke up hungry, his body aching badly, especially in one place, which was burning with pain.
In fact, it only hurts at the beginning, but it becomes a whole different experience after you put your heart into it.
But Jiang Yan had just started eating meat, and since he was young and strong, he got addicted to it and kept pestering Xu Ning until dawn.
On the first night, due to lack of self-control, both of them woke up late.
Xu Ning moved, and Jiang Yan woke up as well.
"Aning, why don't you sleep a little longer?" Jiang Yan hugged her in his arms.
"Brother, sleep a little longer, it's time for dinner." Xu Ning pushed him. Jiang Yan lifted the bed curtain and looked out. The sunlight outside the window was extremely dazzling.
"Get up quickly." Xu Ning urged him.
She didn't expect Jiang Yan to give up at this time. "Aning, if you are tired, just sleep a little longer. We don't need to serve tea today."
Xu Ning thought about it and it seemed to make some sense. After all, Pei Jiao's parents were just substitutes, not his biological parents.
"But I'm hungry." Xu Ning's stomach also made a rumbling sound. Jiang Yan touched his forehead and realized that he had forgotten about it.
Jiang Yan hurriedly asked someone to prepare food. Xu Ning remembered to wash up, and when she stood up, she found that her whole body was sore. She hadn't even taken a step yet, and she was gasping for breath in pain.
"Aning, sit still and don't move. I'll get some for you to wash up." Jiang Yan quickly helped her lie back down. Xu Ning glared at him angrily, and Jiang Yan scratched her nose in amusement.
At the end of last night, Xu Ning didn't want to move a finger, and it was Jiang Yan who cleaned him. After this, Xu Ning threw away all his shyness and embarrassment along with his pants.
Xu Ning is now content to be served by him, and Jiang Yan is also very willing to serve him.
Finally, Jiang Yi brought the food to the door, and Jiang Yan brought it to her on the bed.
Xu Ning felt a little stronger after finishing his meal, but he still walked crookedly, and felt a slight pain with every step.
When Jiang Yan tried to come over to help her, she angrily pushed him away.
"Aning, just lie down." Jiang Yan coaxed her to sit back on the bed. Xu Ning asked for this and that, and Jiang Yan gave them to her very patiently.
"Aning, lie down and I will apply medicine for you." Jiang Yan took out a small bottle of ointment from somewhere and was about to grab Xu Ning's leg.
"No, I'll do it myself!" Xu Ning immediately dodged, then snatched the medicine and applied it himself.
After Xu Ning was tired and fell asleep, Jiang Yan went out to say hello to everyone and came back soon.
At night, Xu Ning woke up in a daze, had dinner and washed up with difficulty, but she refused to let Jiang Yan sleep next to her.
"Aning, I promise, I really won't do anything again!" Jiang Yan almost swore with a funny look.
"I don't believe it. You look full of energy. You can at least do it a few more times!" Xu Ning stretched out his hand to stop him.
Jiang Yan couldn't help but chuckle: "Thank you, Aning, for your high regard for me, but I also plan to take a day off tonight."
"real?"
"real."
"Why?" Xu Ning suddenly doubted his charm again?
"Yeah, I just want to take a break." As a man, he can't say no. He just feels a little uncomfortable.
After all, it was the first time for both of them, and they were still not proficient in some aspects.
This afternoon, when Xu Ning was asleep, he went to ask his uncle for help. Not only did he get several rare booklets, but he also benefited a lot.
Of course, Jiang Yan didn't tell Xu Ning about this. He was afraid that if he told Xu Ning, Xu Ning would beat him.
Xu Ning was half-believing and half-doubting, so she moved her pillow back and accidentally revealed a corner of the picture book Xu Yuan gave her.
"What is this?" Jiang Yan reached out to take it, but Xu Ning was so scared that he immediately snatched it away and hid it behind his back.
"It's nothing, it's a little girl's thing, you can't look at it!" Xu Ning's eyes darted around nervously, and his ears were visibly red.
Jiang Yan smiled and let her do it. After she lay down, he pulled the quilt over her and patted the bed beside him. "I don't want to watch. Come and sleep."
Xu Ning moved and hid the picture book in the place farthest away from Jiang Yan, then lay in his arms and held his hand, as if he was afraid that Jiang Yan would look through it.
"Okay, go to sleep." Xu Ning said in a muffled voice on Jiang Yan's chest.
Jiang Yan's mouth never lowered, he lowered his head and kissed the top of her head, then closed his eyes.
The next day, Xu Ning felt much better after applying the medicine, but she still felt different when she woke up in Jiang Yan's arms in the morning, which made her so angry that she felt like a puffer fish early in the morning.
"Aning, I..."
"You are not allowed to talk!" She knew what this was. She had never seen a pig run but had eaten pork!
No, she has seen pigs run away too!
She just wanted to be angry for no apparent reason, in a delicate way.
Jiang Yan was also happy to indulge them. When the two of them returned to the Xu family next door, the sweet and sour smell of their love was so pungent that even Old Lady Xu felt it was irritating to the eyes.
Xu Feng directly exposed her second sister's pufferfish face, "Second sister, how come you changed your gender after just one day of not seeing you?"
