Chapter 75 Tender Happiness
Shen Jingsi was busy until 3 a.m. before he returned.
Thinking everyone in the family was already asleep, Shen Jingsi finished showering in the second bedroom, put on a bathrobe, and snuggled into the fragrant, warm bed. He reached out and pulled the person sleeping on their side into his arms.
The moment his hand touched her slender waist beneath the silk nightgown, the woman, who should have been fast asleep, suddenly turned around.
She lifted her chin and kissed his slightly cool, thin lips.
Shen Jingsi was stunned. When he came to his senses, he grabbed the waist with one hand and the back of the head with the other, pulling the person tightly into his arms.
As the body pressed down, a storm swept up without warning.
The bedroom was dimly lit.
As their kiss grew more intense, the temperature inside the blankets gradually rose.
The hot hand slipped under the hem of the nightgown and made its way upwards, familiar with the path, until it reached the round, white, soft flesh.
With a slight exertion of his distinct, strong fingers, the girl let out a soft moan.
The feel of it is absolutely infuriating.
Shen Jingsi's voice was hoarse and almost lost, "Why does it feel like it's gotten a little bigger than it did a few days ago?"
"You might as well just say I've gained weight again."
Shen Jingsi let out two deep laughs in his magnetic voice, his thin, red lips, which had been bitten, pressed against her ear, and his tongue scraped down her earlobe. "Not fat, I like it this way."
A tingling, itchy sensation spread from her ears throughout her body, making Lu Zhenyu's breathing heavier. Her body felt weak and listless from the teasing of that hand.
Her fox-like eyes darted back and forth between lucidity and confusion as she spoke with some difficulty, "Why... is En back so late?"
Shen Jingsi's head wandered over her chest. "Something came up at the company, so I had to work overtime for a while."
Overwhelmed by desire, Lu Zhenyu didn't think much. The fire within him gathered as he moved downwards.
"Next time you work overtime, let your family know. I can't get through to you on the phone and I can't sleep."
Military prisons are completely shielded from external signals, and everyone who enters is required to surrender their communication devices.
Shen Jingsi poked his head out from under the covers. "I was busy and forgot. Don't do it again."
Lu Zhenyu glared at him, and he smiled mischievously, pinching the tip of her nose.
"I'm sorry for making you wait so long, baby. Can I make it up to you?"
Lu Zhenyu, without thinking, asked, "How should we compensate?"
But I regretted it as soon as I asked.
Then, the head in front of him slid back inside.
The next second, Lu Zhenyu, her face flushed, suddenly bit her upper lip.
The moment she was teased, her sensitive nerves trembled repeatedly.
The delicate fabric inside the quilt unconsciously opened.
“en~”
Those repeated blows were too unbearable, leaving Lu Zhenyu feeling lost and disoriented. She bit her lip tightly, her flushed cheeks sinking into the pillow.
The two of them fussed around in the bedroom for quite a while.
Shen Jingsi carried her to take a bath, but when they passed the dressing room, they walked past it and then turned back.
Seeing him staring intently inside, Lu Zhenyu asked, "What's wrong?"
"Is that a wedding dress?"
Such sharp eyesight?
Lu Zhenyu didn't hide anything and told Bei Tingwan that she had specially made a wedding dress for her.
Shen Jingsi didn't seem surprised at all. "Then put it on for me to see, okay, baby?"
The man's gaze was so intense that Lu Zhenyu couldn't bear to refuse, "Alright then."
The two, who had collapsed while showering, groped their way to the dressing room in the dark. A short while later, sounds began to drift from inside—
"Where are you touching? Tie the rope."
"Then you have to wear it from the waist up, right?"
Are you touching my waist?
"It feels so good, baby, I couldn't resist."
...
A while later.
"Baby, you seem to have really gained weight. Your waist looks like it's been made smaller."
He measured the dimensions himself a month ago, so they should be correct.
Lu Zhenyu's face darkened. "You can stay silent, Shen Jingsi. If you keep this up, I won't wear it."
Shen Jingsi immediately backed down, "No, I was wrong. Starting tomorrow, I'll gain weight with you."
"Who wants to get fat with you? I'll start dieting tomorrow."
The two chatted for a long time before finally getting dressed in their wedding dresses.
The chandelier in the dressing room was turned on, and the next second, as the light scattered, a princess in a pure white wedding dress descended like a fairy from heaven.
The wedding dress was made of satin, featuring a classic strapless design with a long train; the train spread out and took up two-thirds of the dressing room.
The strapless design hugged her fair and slender shoulders and neck perfectly, and as she turned, the silk skirt rippled with a soft light.
The more than five-meter-long veil was adorned with three-dimensional white camellias, which seemed to bloom as she swayed with her steps.
Lu Zhenyu lowered her eyes and straightened the hem of her skirt, looking at Shen Jingsi, whose eyes were fixed on her, with a soft smile at the corners of her eyes.
"Is it pretty?"
Her veil was half-covered in her hair, and the warm light from the chandelier spilled through the thin veil, falling on her eyelashes. She looked like a jasmine flower soaked in honey.
Shen Jingsi pressed his fingertips to his lips, the tightness in his throat spreading with his heartbeat.
He got up and walked over, his eyes unwilling to look away for even a second.
Those camellias, each one so lifelike, took him back to when he was eighteen.
Wearing a light blue school uniform, she returned home from school and stood under the camellia tree. She casually picked up a white camellia flower that had been broken off from the stem and tucked it behind her ear. Turning her head, she grinned and asked him, "Does it look good?"
"nice."
It's really beautiful.
It was beautiful. For some reason, Shen Jingsi's eyes swelled and felt hot at that moment.
He knew that this dress would be perfect for his girl.
Looking at the man who was staring blankly at her, Lu Zhenyu suppressed the surging emotions in her heart.
She raised her hand to lower the veil from her hair and placed both hands in front of her chest.
"Gentleman Shen Jingsi, do you take Ms. Lu Zhenyu to be your wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death do you part?"
"I……"
Immersed in such a dreamlike moment, the words that get stuck in one's throat are not hesitation, but rather a lump in Chen Jingsi's throat.
He had longed for this scene for twenty years, so he answered, "I am more than willing."
Despite the casualness of his bathrobe, Shen Jingsi knelt on one knee with an air of seriousness, his long, distinct fingers forming a diamond ring that appeared out of nowhere.
The diamond was huge and sparkly, and it was carved into the shape of a camellia petal.
He knew that the girl had loved camellias since she was a child because they symbolized "perseverance, elegance, and ideal love."
That's the kind of person she wants to be.
Shen Jingsi said, "Elegant Ms. Lu Zhenyu, would you be willing to become Mr. Shen Jingsi's wife, to be with him through thick and thin, through sickness and health, through the passage of time, never to be separated from him?"
The beam of light shone through the veil, illuminating the glistening tears in the corners of her eyes. Lu Zhenyu swallowed a few times.
Regardless of the past or the future, at this moment, she is Shen Jingsi's wife.
He was also her husband.
As a tear fell, she said, "I'm willing."
He slipped the ring onto the girl's trembling ring finger. The next second, Shen Jingsi lifted the long veil and thrust himself inside. At the same time as the passionate kiss struck, Lu Zhenyu shrugged and tilted her head back to receive it.
This kiss was more passionate, intense, and unrestrained than ever before.
It was as if they were telling each other about their longing and yearning for one another during the five years of separation.
At this moment, Shen Jingsi finally realized the truth.
Yes, he did understand.
If he could become her husband, all feelings, debts, entanglements, and confusion would become unimportant.
As long as she can become his wife with dignity and live a happy life from now on.
He didn't care about the lives or deaths of anyone else.
…
It was already 5 a.m. when I got back into bed.
Fortunately, the curtains are made of a light-blocking material, so there's no need to worry about dawn while hiding inside.
Shen Jingsi curled up against the headboard, while Lu Zhenyu leaned against him.
He wrapped his arms around her from behind, his hands instinctively resting on her plump belly.
The hot palm pressed tightly against the smooth, fair skin, feeling the slight, unconscious throbbing inside.
Both of them were staring blankly ahead.
After a long while, the girl in his arms said, "I am satisfied with Shen Jingsi."
He looked down. "What's satisfying?"
Even after so much time has passed, Lu Zhenyu's eyes still retain an inexhaustible happiness.
"I'm satisfied to have worn a wedding dress for myself for the first time in my life."
The fingertips that were gently circling the lower abdomen paused.
He couldn't quite describe the feeling, but after hearing these words, Shen Jingsi felt inexplicably heavy-hearted.
It was that bad feeling again.
Just like the blessings she gave him on the back mountain of the Shen family last time, today she went to the Zheng family alone, without telling anyone.
During her interrogation, Zheng Yaowan confessed that Lu Zhenyu suddenly held a knife to Zheng's mother's neck, which surprised everyone.
kill?
This is not something she would do.
So what was she thinking at that moment?
Shen Jingsi could guess it, but dared not think about it any further.
Fortunately, he arrived in time after receiving the news.
He didn't even want to think what would have happened if he had acted just a fraction of a second later.
I thought that my patient companionship and guidance would gradually pull the girl back from the edge of the cliff.
The truth is, he didn't have the ability or the weight to back it up.
Perhaps it's time to involve mental health professionals.
The hand wrapped around her lower abdomen unconsciously tightened its grip. Shen Jingsi looked down and said, "You're not even married yet, and you're satisfied with just wearing a wedding dress? How can you be so pathetic?"
Is he spineless?
That would be pathetic.
In short, Lu Zhenyu was very content during this period, whether with old friends, new friends, or her short-term boyfriend.
She didn't continue the topic, but after a few minutes of silence, she said, "Shall we go on a date?"
Under the man's slightly surprised gaze, she slowly said, "I want to go shopping with you, ride the Ferris wheel at the amusement park, and see the giant pandas at the zoo."
Lu Zhenyu was lost in her fantasies about her upcoming date, her eyes filled with a deep, warm light.
"Then we went to the cinema together, like a young couple. After the movie, we walked hand in hand on the busy street in the evening. I also wanted to eat at a roadside stall, have some skewers, ice cream, and candied hawthorn."
As the girl indulged in her boundless imagination, Shen Jingsi's eyes grew increasingly filled with surprise and delight. "What you're saying, is it true?"
Lu Zhenyu interpreted his actions as, "What's wrong? Is it... you don't have time?"
Shen Jingsi was afraid she might suddenly change her mind, so he pulled her tightly into his arms. "No, there's always time. As long as you want to go, I'll always have time."
His Zhenzhen suddenly began to yearn for the future and wanted to continue the relationship with him, and of course he had the time.
Even if you don't have it, you have to have it!
"So, which day should we choose?"
Lu Zhenyu remembered that in four days, it would be his engagement banquet with Duan Xier.
But there was an unspoken understanding between them that they would subconsciously avoid the upcoming engagement party.
I don't know what he's thinking.
But Lu Zhenyu knew very well that the agreement to secretly date until his engagement meant "before".
Shen Jingsi pulled her into his arms, resting his chin on her collarbone from behind. "Any day is fine. If you want, I'll be with you every day."
Shen Jingsi, who always puts her first, is so gentle, meticulous, and patient that it's hard not to love and cherish her.
But in the dim light where no one could see, the curve of the girl's lips gradually faded, and the light in her fox-like eyes disappeared along with the night sky.
After a long pause, she said, "One day, one day will do."
