Sisi looked up and saw him dressed in red robes and a golden crown. His dark eyes were slightly tinged with drunkenness, and he staggered. He was very tall, much taller than when he was in the Heavenly Palace.
Bai Zhi wisely withdrew.
Zhou Qiyan steadied his breathing and walked over. "Madam, it's time for us to drink the nuptial wine."
After drinking the nuptial wine, his senior sister became his wife.
"good."
After drinking the nuptial wine, Zhou Qiyan lifted the veil and carefully removed her makeup and hair. He looked at the beautiful woman in front of him with her black hair draped over her shoulders and her red lips slightly parted, like a flower waiting to be picked.
"You are so beautiful."
He lowered his head and kissed her lips. Sisi's pupils dilated, and she could clearly see his tears sliding down his cheeks.
"I've waited too long for this day."
Sisi wiped away his tears, "I'm sorry."
Zhou Qi shook his head with a sneer, "No, you did nothing wrong to me. If it weren't for you, I might really have become a demon king who slaughtered the three realms."
Because of her, he harbored a secret desire to live in seclusion.
He was glad he hadn't become that person; she wouldn't like someone like that.
"do you like me?"
Zhou Qiyan finally asked the question, his dark eyes fixed on her, full of sincerity and expectation.
Sisi smiled and said, "Of course."
He chuckled softly, "I knew my senior sister liked me. She destroyed the Cycle of Reincarnation for me. I waited for her for seven years, and my heart was almost broken during those seven years."
"..."
"How will Senior Sister compensate me?" Zhou Qiyan sighed. "Seven years! How many seven-year periods does one have in a lifetime? It's nothing to immortals, but for my junior brother, these seven years have truly been wasting away..."
Sisi reached out and covered his noisy mouth, her cheeks slightly flushed. "Just tell me how you want to make it up to me."
Zhou Qiyan's face flushed red. He reached out and unbuckled his belt, looking down at her without daring to look at her. "It's late, Madam. Let's go to bed."
"……Um."
"I...cough...I have no experience, please bear with me, madam. If I hurt you..."
Sisi covered his mouth again.
Early in the morning, Madam Zhou got up and sat in the main seat waiting for the newlyweds to come and pay their respects.
The sun was high in the sky, and the tea in the pot was heated again and again, but the two people were still nowhere to be seen at the door.
She frowned. "Granny Xu, what's going on? Why haven't these two come over yet? Has something gone wrong?"
Xu Mama said, "Madam, please don't worry. The two are newlyweds, and this is the second master's first time. He might be a little too attached. How about we cancel today's greetings?"
Madam Zhou felt uneasy. "She left for seven years without any explanation, and when she came back, she took away my second son without even explaining. Now she can't even pay her respects?"
The more she thought about it, the more upset she became. Madam Zhou slammed her hand on the table and said, "Go and see him right now! Go and wake Second Brother up! It's broad daylight and he's still not up! What kind of behavior is this!"
Granny Xu could only go and take a look.
Bai Zhi was standing guard at the door. Xu Mama glanced at the tightly closed door and asked in a low voice, "Why aren't Second Master and Madam up yet?"
Bai Zhi stammered, her face slightly flushed. Xu Mama, being an old woman, understood from her expression and coughed twice, saying, "The old lady is waiting for the second master and madam to pay their respects. Go and call them."
Bai Zhi knocked on the door, "Second Master, Madam, are you up yet?"
After a long pause, an impatient voice finally came from inside, "Still not up? What is it?"
"The old lady is waiting for you to pay your respects."
"knew."
By the time Zhou Qiyan and Sisi finished washing up and arrived at the main hall, it was already lunchtime. Madam Zhou looked extremely displeased. "What kind of behavior is this!"
"Mom, why are you being so fierce?" Zhou Qiyan pulled Sisi to sit down. "If you really don't like us, we'll go out and travel instead of staying home."
"You dare threaten your mother?"
Madam Zhou was furious. She turned her gaze to Sisi and saw that her neck was covered with red marks. She swallowed back her reproachful tone.
"Just like your father, you don't know how to care about people at all. You won't be satisfied until you drive me to my death!"
Zhou Qiyan blushed but didn't say anything. He hadn't used much force, but her skin was so delicate that a light touch left a red mark.
Sisi was also a little embarrassed. "Mom, please don't be angry. It's my fault."
"You're hooking up with him?"
"Oh dear!" Granny Xu hurriedly interrupted her outspokenness, "Madam, please have your meal."
Madam Zhou realized that what she said was inappropriate, so she awkwardly shut her mouth and ate her meal in peace.
After the meal, Madam Zhou used the excuse of needing to talk to Sisi about the rules of the Zhou family to send Zhou Qiyan away.
"Mother knows you're newly married and a bit clingy, but Second Brother isn't in good health, so don't be too attached to him. Take it slow, okay?"
Sisi nodded, blushing.
Madam Zhou was angry but didn't know where to vent it, so she sighed several times. "Alright, now that you're married, I won't hold onto the past grievances anymore. You just need to live a good life with your second son."
"Mother, I will definitely live a good life with my second brother." Sisi brought her a cup of tea.
"Mother, please have some tea."
Madam Zhou took a sip of her drink. "What are your plans, you two? Second Brother's business has been doing well these past few years, and he's not short of money. My idea is that you should have children soon, and I can help you take care of them."
"Daughter-in-law understands."
"Good that you understand. Go back and rest." Madam Zhou noticed the faint marks on her arm and said with a stern face, "If he bothers you, just ignore him and take a rest. Don't overwork yourself."
Sisi nodded.
A light snow was falling outside. The person hadn't left; they were standing on the porch waiting for her. When they saw her come out, they quickly handed her the hot water bottle they were holding. "Are you cold?"
"It's alright." How could a deity be cold?
Sisi laughed at his foolishness in her heart, reached out and touched his hand, but it was ice cold. "Your hands are colder than mine, you should keep this."
"I'm a man, I'm not afraid of the cold."
Sisi smiled, and Zhou Qiyan also grinned foolishly, "Madam, you have such a beautiful smile."
Stop being so cheeky.
"I didn't."
Zhou Qiyan took her hand. "What did your mother say to you? Did she scold you?"
Sisi coughed twice and said, "No, Mother said you're not feeling well and doesn't want me to keep bothering you."
"You're being nosy. It's alright, if you don't bother me, I'll bother you. Let's go back to our room."
Zhou Qiyan picked her up and stepped into the snow with a grin. Sisi said helplessly, "You can't keep bothering me. Stop it. You've been tired all night. Take a rest."
"I'm not tired."
Zhou Qiyan carried her back to the room without a second thought.
Sisi was placed on the bed, and he only kissed her eyes. "You sleep a little longer, I'll go pack my things."
"Are you really leaving?" Sisi frowned. "Talk to Mom first, don't be in such a hurry."
“If I tell her, she’ll cry again.”
"She can't bear to part with you."
Zhou Qi chuckled softly, "I know, but I don't want to keep you trapped in this mansion having children. Senior Sister, you have compassion for all living beings, so you should also see the beautiful land you govern. Junior Brother will accompany you to see it, how about it?"
