Chapter 25, Part 2...
Chapter Twenty-Five
As night fell and the hustle and bustle subsided, the newlywed couple, Lu Yuanqing and Yao Anhui, returned to their own little home.
"I'll go boil some water for your bath." Knowing that Yao Anhui was clean and had a habit of bathing every day, the first thing Lu Yuanqing did after returning home was to boil water for her bath.
"Okay, then I'll go tidy up the room first." Now that they've officially become family, Yao Anhui naturally won't stand on ceremony with him.
"Go ahead, rest if you're tired, or I can clean up later." Lu Yuanqing didn't really want to be separated from Yao Anhui. Today was their wedding day, and they had been waiting for this day for several months. He was very excited at the moment.
Unfortunately, Yao Anhui wasn't excited enough to stay there and cling to him without washing up; she only left him with a cold and indifferent back view.
Although there was no traditional wedding, the new house was still decorated. The bright red wedding quilt was a gift from Hua Fangling, and dried fruits such as red dates, longans, and peanuts were scattered on the bed. Almost everything that could be seen was covered with bright red "double happiness" characters, which Lu Yuanqing had cut out one by one by hand. Recently, Lu Yuanqing had been in a very excited state.
Thinking that the water wouldn't be ready so quickly, Yao Anhui put away all the items that had been displayed.
Originally, because the wedding was simple, only a few close families came over for lunch. Yao Anhui originally thought that it wouldn't be so complicated. But the wedding was so well-organized that there was even a show-off of the dowry.
Many people came to their house to watch the excitement and offer their blessings. Many of them were people Yao Anhui only knew by name and had spoken to before. These people did not come empty-handed; they usually brought six eggs and said some nice words. In return, they would give her some melon seeds, peanuts, and candy.
Those who were close to Lu Yuanqing or Yao Anhui received different gifts. Some sent thermos flasks, others sent towels, pillowcases, and duvet covers. Guan Kangde and Xiang Jinghe, as the bride's family, sent a complete set of pots, pans, chopsticks, and spoons—everything they needed for eating. They even had cotton quilts fluffed and two sets of bedding provided, exactly as the bride's family would have provided for her dowry.
While packing her things, Yao Anhui wondered whether she should return the favor. Guan Kangde and his friends had all eaten lunch here, and so many other neighbors, including military families living in the old houses, had each given six eggs. Although she didn't know why, it didn't seem right not to return the favor.
"Huihui, the bath water is ready and has been taken to the bathroom. Go take a bath." Lu Yuanqing's tone was urgent. Yao Anhui wasn't a naive little girl who didn't understand anything, so she naturally knew why Lu Yuanqing was like this.
"Did you only bring hot water?" Yao Anhui asked as she took out her new pajamas.
"I didn't know what temperature of water you wanted, so I brought in half a bucket of cold water and half a bucket of hot water. You can adjust the temperature as needed."
Lu Yuanqing quickly grabbed his own clothes. At first, he instinctively took an old training uniform, but after thinking about it, he put it back and took out the pajamas that Yao Anhui had made for him. Then he followed behind Yao Anhui.
Yao Anhui knew that Lu Yuanqing was following behind her. He had been like this for a long time, and Yao Anhui was used to Lu Yuanqing sticking to her whenever they were together.
Unexpectedly, Lu Yuanqing followed her all the way into the bathroom. Yao Anhui raised an eyebrow: "Brother Qing, what's going on?"
"Ahem, I've come to check if there's enough water." Lu Yuanqing has become quite shameless these days, managing to act all serious even after following him into the bathroom.
After adding the water, Yao Anhui said to Lu Yuanqing, "There's enough water, you can go now."
Although she was older than Lu Yuanqing in both her past and present lives, no matter how much she had seen or how old she was, Yao Anhui was still a woman who had never experienced love. This was her first time getting married in both her past and present lives, so how could she not be shy?
Lu Yuanqing dared not anger his wife. His comrades had all said that if he wanted a harmonious family, he should pamper and cherish her. If his wife got angry, he would have no good days.
Lu Yuanqing's kindness to Yao Anhui was not because he was afraid that Yao Anhui would be angry and he would have a bad day; it was mainly because he couldn't bear to make Yao Anhui angry.
He had finally married the girl he loved, and tonight he would officially become family with Yao Anhui. Lu Yuanqing was feeling excited, nervous, and especially... excited.
How hot was it? When Lu Yuanqing heard the sound of water coming from the bathroom in the courtyard, he felt his blood rush to one side. He immediately moved away from the courtyard, this place of trouble, and decided to go back to his room to clean up and cool down.
The red dates, longans, and peanuts on the kang (a heated brick bed) were all put away, and all the items that had been laid out were tidied up. Lu Yuanqing quickly tidied up the room, then moved on to the living room and another bedroom, and finished tidying everything up. Yao Anhui finally returned, still damp from the sweat.
Then Lu Yuanqing's eyes widened in disbelief.
Yao Anhui, an ancient person, was deeply influenced by Hua Fangling, a person from the future, during their nearly three months of interaction. For example, she changed her bellyband to a small triangular bra.
Tonight, Yao Anhui even wore a two-piece pajama set that Hua Fangling had specially given her. The inner layer was a small camisole that only covered her upper thighs, and the outer layer was a long cardigan with ties.
However, Yao Anhui's figure was simply too good. She didn't need any suspenders to seduce him; her exposed, slender, white legs and her curvaceous, hot body were enough to make Lu Yuanqing furious.
Although Yao Anhui was a little shy, she had seen how the women in the harem manipulated the emperor, even if she hadn't eaten pork herself. She knew a little about how the women in the harem controlled the emperor. She couldn't be too passionate and unrestrained, but for the sake of marital harmony, Yao Anhui was willing to add some fun to the bedroom.
"Gulp"
As Lu Yuanqing drew closer, Yao Anhui quickly reached out to support him and said, "Go take a shower."
Yao Anhui's face turned bright red, because Lu Yuanqing's gaze was too presumptuous.
"Okay." After saying that, Lu Yuanqing disappeared. Soon, the sound of Lu Yuanqing drawing water from the pond could be heard in the courtyard, followed by the splashing sound of water coming from the direction of Yi Shi.
Yao Anhui suppressed her shyness and quickly drew the curtains; the clothes she was wearing made her very embarrassed.
Before she could even finish feeling shy, Lu Yuanqing had already quickly finished showering and returned. Yao Anhui couldn't help but check her watch. Less than three minutes. Could he really get clean at that speed?
Yao Anhui suspected that Lu Yuanqing hadn't taken a shower at all, but Lu Yuanqing didn't give her a chance to exit.
Yao Anhui experienced the feeling of almost suffocating once again. Lu Yuanqing almost stole all the air from her mouth. Later, Lu Yuanqing finally stopped taking her oxygen, but soon started drawing on her body, like red plum blossoms blooming in the snow. The scene was incredibly alluring.
That's right, Lu Yuanqing encountered a little wildcat that night. The wildcat's claws were sharp and thin, and it scratched many red claw marks on his body.
That night, Yao Anhui felt like a lone boat adrift on a stormy sea.
