"Husband!" Li Yuheng called out so readily, rushing over, "Then let's get married now!"
"Varied……?"
Before Shu Bai could finish speaking, Li Yuheng pounced on him and pinned him to the bed.
"Stop! Do you know what the steps are in a wedding?" Shu Bai struggled while quickly going through the traditional wedding process in her mind.
Although I haven't experienced it myself, I've at least seen other people get married.
Wedding ceremony, drinking the nuptial wine... these should all be done, right?
Why did this person skip straight to the last step?
While busy untying his white robe sash, Li Yuheng took a moment to give him a quick kiss on the lips: "I don't know!"
"you……!"
Shu Bai was speechless at his self-righteous ignorance.
Li Yuheng raised his head: "I've never been married! And I have amnesia!"
As he spoke, he used force, and with a tearing sound, the collar of Shu Bai's red dress was ripped open.
Shu Bai: "..."
"Fine, fine, you think only your claws are sharp, huh?"
He simply reached out and tugged at Li Yuheng's collar, mimicking the other's earlier action, and pulled hard.
Li Yuheng's outer robe also ripped open.
Taking advantage of that impulse, Shu Bai flipped over and pinned Li Yuheng down.
Their positions were reversed, and strands of hair fell down, intertwining between the two.
Li Yuheng was taken aback at first, then spread his arms wide with confidence.
His completely surrendering attitude put Shu Bai in a difficult position.
Now that things have come to this, what should be done next...? He doesn't actually know much more than the amnesiac person in front of him.
With the arrow already on the bowstring, Shu Bai made a snap decision, leaned down, and fiercely kissed Li Yuheng's mouth, which always uttered surprising words.
…
Perhaps, the young hero and the notorious bandit also rode the carousel together when they were young.
…
Shu Bai's mind went completely blank.
However, at the moment when he was most relaxed and confused, that damned Li Yuheng took the opportunity to give him the middle finger.
Shu Bai immediately perked up, his anger instantly reaching its peak:
"Li Yuheng! If you don't want these paws, you can chop them off and feed them to the dogs!"
"Don't move... Oh, young hero, don't be angry..."
…
1→2→3→4
…
"!!!"
"Young hero, weren't you quite the talker just now? Why... are you refusing to eat now?"
“…”
The young hero remained silent, only refusing to speak.
This chaotic entanglement, once it began, completely spiraled out of control.
Li Yuheng seemed to be exhausting all his accumulated energy and enthusiasm, dragging Shu Bai into absurdity in the bedroom for an unknown amount of time.
Outside the window, the sun rises and sets; inside the hall, red candles burn out and are relit; the rising heat and the lingering breaths never cease.
Shu Bai was so confused by all the commotion that he felt time had lost its meaning.
The only clear thing was the tactile sensation and sound of the thin chain on my wrist swaying.
The chain is ingeniously designed, consisting of countless tiny links connected together, with an inconspicuous dark amber pendant hanging at the end.
As his wrists were forced to rise or be held against the pillow, they kept slipping and swaying.
…
After an unknown amount of time, this long and absurd affair finally came to a temporary end.
Shu Bai collapsed weakly on the messy bed, too exhausted to even move a fingertip, her consciousness teetering on the edge of unconsciousness.
My throat felt so dry it was practically on fire, and every swallow was accompanied by a slight stinging pain.
Li Yuheng sat up, looked at him for a moment, chuckled softly, got off the bed, poured a glass of warm water, and came back.
He knelt on one knee by the couch, carefully lifting the back of the sparse white neck with one hand, and brought the rim of the cup to his lips.
"Have some water."
Shu Bai closed his eyes and drank heavily, gulping down the contents of his hand.
The warm water moistened his parched throat, and he managed to regain some strength, his voice hoarse: "...Now you're trying to curry favor? Where were you before?"
His tone was fierce, but unfortunately, given his submissive demeanor at the moment, it had little intimidating effect.
Li Yuheng let out a low chuckle, without refuting him, and waited for him to finish drinking before putting the empty cup aside.
Seeing Shu Bai's listless appearance, where he didn't even bother to lift his eyelashes, he bent down, rolled him up in the blanket, and picked him up horizontally.
Shu Bai froze, then abruptly opened her eyes: "What are you up to now?!"
He struggled to get down, but he was exhausted.
"I'll take you to clean up." Li Yuheng carried you steadily and strode towards the passage deep inside the inner hall. "There's a hot spring in the back, with running water; it'll be more comfortable."
The passage was slightly dim, with water droplets condensing on the stone walls, and the air became moist and cool.
Shu Bai was wrapped in the blanket by him and could only smell the familiar scent on the other person, which made him even more irritable.
"Don't think that's all..." he warned through gritted teeth, but his voice was muffled and lacked any power as it was buried under the covers.
"Yes, I'll wait for my husband to calculate it slowly."
Li Yuheng carried him around a corner, and suddenly the view opened up before them.
A naturally formed cave hot spring comes into view, with steam rising and water vapor swirling around it.
A crack in the cave ceiling allowed a sliver of sunlight to filter through, making the water surface shimmer.
The surrounding stone walls are covered with moisture-loving vines, adding to the wildness and mystery.
Li Yuheng tested the water temperature before pulling off the blankets that wrapped him in, and carrying Shu Bai, whose body was covered in marks, he stepped into the warm spring water.
The warm spring water instantly enveloped my exhausted body, relieving the soreness and weakness caused by overuse.
Shu Bai leaned against the smooth rock by the pool and finally managed to open his heavy eyelids.
The water rippled, and Li Yuheng approached him, her fingers stroking the stiff muscles in his shoulders and neck, massaging them gently.
"...Stay away from me."
Shu Bai clearly remembers that this morning, or perhaps yesterday, this person said something about "just a massage," but it turned into another round of inexplicable turmoil.
Having learned from past mistakes, he unceremoniously brushed away Li Yuheng's hand.
Seeing his resolute attitude, Li Yuheng stepped back a little and leaned against the rock by the pool, closing his eyes to rest.
Hot springs do effectively relieve soreness after overuse, but another kind of tightness is quietly developing.
The two were only inches apart, their underwater silhouettes barely visible in the clear spring water, as the intense, tangled memories of the past surged back uncontrollably.
Shu Bai suddenly slammed his hand into the water, and with a splash, water sprayed precisely onto Li Yuheng's face.
"Speak," Shu Bai said coldly. "Stop pretending to be so profound."
Li Yuheng slowly wiped his face.
Looking at Shu Bai's tense profile and slightly reddened ears, he knew perfectly well that this young hero was probably belatedly starting to act awkwardly.
That's true, after all, I did go a bit too far these past few days.
But can you blame him?
So Li Yuheng leaned closer, his voice tinged with amusement: "Young hero, looking at you like this... isn't it...? Do you want me to help you...?"
Shu Bai's face immediately darkened: "How dare you bring that up? Who is it that I'm like this because of?"
"Because of me, because of me." Li Yuheng nodded in apology, but the corners of his mouth were turned up high. "So this is just me trying to make amends."
Shu Bai gave him a cold glare: "Stop pretending. If it weren't for you, you bastard..."
He gritted his teeth, finding it too difficult to utter the rest of the words, which finally turned into a furious growl, "Hurry up! Get out of here after you're done!"
Li Yuheng: "Yes, my lord."
"Shut up! Enough with the nonsense, hurry up!"
"Understood!"
…
"Li, Yu, Heng! Are you going to clean up or...!"
"Let me touch you, and while I'm at it, let me touch you. My husband's reaction is so strong, I have to make sure you're not hurt, don't I?"
"Confirm my ass! Get lost!"
"It'll be ready soon~"
…
The first thing Shu Bai did after regaining his strength was to give Li Yuheng a good beating.
The chain on my wrist had been undone at some point.
Perhaps Li Yuheng never really intended to keep him locked up, and maybe he unlocked him while he was asleep.
In short,
Shu Bai moved her wrists, which had regained their freedom, and the joints made a crisp sound, which felt good.
The next moment, he pounced on him.
"You bastard!"
He controlled his strength, his fists raining down on Li Yuheng's back, making a loud thud. It was less about revenge and more about venting his anger.
His other hand wasn't idle either; he bent his knuckles and tapped Li Yuheng's head like a monk striking a wooden fish.
"Ouch! Husband, be gentle! Who will take care of you if you get stupid!"
While wailing exaggeratedly, Li Yuheng seized an opening, bent down suddenly, pressed his shoulder against Shu Bai's abdomen, and lifted the person up.
"Put me down!"
Shu Bai was furious and grabbed Li Yuheng's hair with both hands, pulling it upwards.
"Ouch—let go, let go! I'm going bald!"
Li Yuheng winced in pain, using one hand to pry open Shu Bai's hand.
Upon seeing this, Shu Bai immediately changed targets, precisely pinching Li Yuheng's cheeks with both hands and pulling them apart forcefully, turning his handsome face into a comical grimace.
"Let go of my hand!"
Li Yuheng protested incoherently, and also reached out to pinch the soft flesh on Shu Bai's side.
The two of them immediately started wrestling in the cave, pulling each other's hair, pinching each other's cheeks, kicking each other's calves, and tripping each other's ankles.
Completely haphazard and lacking any semblance of order, they looked like two mischievous children rolling around in the mud trying to grab candy.
"Let go!"
"You loosen your grip first!"
"Put me down!"
"Then don't pinch my cheeks!"
"I won't!"
Li Yuheng was already unsteady on his feet carrying someone, and with Shu Bai's commotion, he stumbled several times and was about to fall into the pile of freshly made bedding next to him.
"careful!"
"I'm going to fall!"
Amid cries of alarm, the two lost their balance and tumbled down, plunging headfirst into the soft pile of blankets.
The two rolled around in the pile of bedding, and Li Yuheng's head bumped lightly against the corner of a hard wooden box behind him.
"Awooo—!"
He cried out in pain, and countless chaotic images flashed before his eyes in an instant.
He froze abruptly, remaining in the position where Shu Bai was grabbing his collar, his eyes somewhat glazed over.
When Shu Bai saw him suddenly freeze, she thought he had really hurt himself and subconsciously reached out to rub the back of his head: "Did you get stupid?"
Li Yuheng suddenly grabbed his wrist, his eyes quickly shifting from confusion to clarity, and his lips began to twitch uncontrollably.
He remembered!
