Chapter 16 Husband, it's time to go back to our room. Are you not up to it? ...
After boiling the water, Ye Li washed his hair first, then used a wooden bucket to carry the hot water into the bathtub.
Just as the firewood was almost full, Jiangmai and Jiangya returned, dragging two bundles of firewood.
Ye Li smiled and waved to Jiang Ya: "Ya-ge'er, I'm going to take a bath, do you want to come with me?"
Taking a bath?
Jiang Ya was startled, her big eyes wide open.
But soon, he put his little hands behind his back and shook his head: "Brother Li, you go ahead and drink by yourself."
Although he's now willing to listen to Brother Li, he still strips completely naked in front of Brother Li...
shy.
Seeing his expression, Ye Li knew what he was thinking, so she smiled and said, "Then I'll wash you again in a few days."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ya was still a little shy, but a look of anticipation flashed across her face.
He wants to take a bath!
At this moment, Ye Li instructed Jiang Mai, "If I wash too slowly, then you can cook later. Steam the leftover pancakes from lunch and make some corn porridge."
Jiangmai responded.
So Ye Li closed the door to the storeroom and went to take a happy bath.
It was another sunny day in early summer. Although the storeroom was a bit shady, I didn't feel cold at all while soaking in the bathtub.
He couldn't resist soaking in the water a little longer.
The sun was quickly setting in the west, and Jiang Mai rolled up her sleeves and went into the kitchen to cook dinner.
He only got up slowly when Jiang Ya called him from outside the door to say that dinner would be ready soon.
His hair wasn't dry yet, but he stood in the yard carefully drying it with a cloth.
He had been soaking for quite a while, and his cheeks looked as if they had been smeared with rouge.
His face was very fair, and his hair was thick and black. He stood casually in this dilapidated, lush farmhouse courtyard, like the most beautiful flower blooming in the forest, which was very eye-catching.
Jiang Ji pushed a cart full of weeds into the yard. Upon seeing his appearance, the word "handsome" instantly filled Jiang Ji's mind.
But Jiang Ji quickly lowered his eyes.
The woman was quite pretty; otherwise, she wouldn't have regretted getting engaged so early.
The fool thought he could find someone better than himself, but unfortunately, he got engaged too early and missed his chance.
Hearing the noise, Ye Li turned her head to look at the courtyard gate. Seeing that it was him, she smiled and said, "You're back? Perfect timing, dinner will be ready soon."
"I'm going to make some cold tofu salad."
Actually, Ye Li prefers stir-frying.
Unfortunately, there was only one iron pot in the house.
Once he has enough money, he will definitely buy a small iron pot specifically for cooking.
Thinking this, Ye Li walked towards the kitchen.
Jiang Ji hummed in response, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw him enter the kitchen. He immediately frowned and poked his forehead with his finger.
I actually think the straw bag looks nice.
Is he crazy?!
Feeling depressed, Jiang Ji sat down at the dining table and ate with his head down, not even glancing at the person opposite him.
But Ye Li harbored her own secret thoughts.
He kept glancing at his cheap husband as he picked up his chopsticks.
After glancing at him so many times, not only did Jiang Mai find it strange, but even Jiang Ya couldn't help but say, "Big brother, Brother Li is watching you."
Look at me?
Jiang Ji slowly looked up at the person sitting opposite him: "What's wrong?"
Ye Li asked earnestly, "There's hot water in the pot, would you like to take a bath?"
"……good."
Jiang Ji nodded.
He really needs to take a shower.
"I'll scrub the bathtub later," Ye Li said hurriedly, secretly pleased.
“I don’t need a bathtub,” Jiang Ji shook his head.
Next to the vegetable garden was a small shed, paved with blue bricks, and the ground was sloping. There was a hole at the bottom of the slope that connected to the courtyard wall.
This is the bathroom his father built. When he takes a bath in it, the wastewater flows right out into the yard.
He's very energetic; he doesn't need to take a bath in this weather.
"Won't you catch a cold?" Ye Li asked with some concern.
"No." Jiang Ji said these two words with absolute certainty.
Seeing this, Ye Li stopped talking.
His eyes darted around, revealing a wealth of hidden thoughts.
But Jiang Mai and Jiang Ya were too young, and Jiang Ji didn't pay any attention to him, so no one noticed anything unusual about him.
Soon, everyone put down their chopsticks.
The two little ones washed up and got ready for bed.
Jiang Ji carried two buckets of hot water into the small shed.
Ye Li tidied up the pots and pans, washed up briefly, and went back to her room.
He sat cross-legged on the kang (a heated brick bed), straining his ears to listen to the sounds coming from the courtyard.
After waiting for about 15 minutes, he heard footsteps slowly approaching the main room. He took a deep breath and secretly cheered himself up.
With a creak, the door to the main room was pushed open.
Immediately afterwards, the footsteps turned towards the east room.
The door to the east room opened.
The door to the east room was closed.
My cheap husband is going to sleep.
He dared not delay any longer, so he quickly picked up the oil lamp and went out of the house. When he reached the door of the east room, he gently knocked twice: "Jiang Ji?"
Jiang Jigang had just sat down by the kang (a heated brick bed) when he heard the shout. He dried his hair as he went to the door and opened it: "What's wrong?"
He was covered in moisture and had a faint scent of soap pods lingering around him.
He was more than half a head taller than Ye Li. He stood there in the doorway, and Ye Li blushed when she saw his outstanding features.
Fortunately, the lighting was dim, so the blush wasn't very noticeable.
Ye Li coughed lightly and peeked into the room: "Are Xiaomai and Ya Ge'er asleep?"
"She's asleep." Jiang Ji glanced at the kang (heated brick bed).
Jiang Ya lay in the innermost part.
Jiang Mai lay in the middle, while the two little ones slept soundly, covered with blankets.
"Then come out for a moment."
Ye Li beckoned to Jiang Ji with her finger.
Although Jiang Ji was puzzled, he followed his steps as instructed and closed the door to the east room behind him.
The two stood at the entrance of the main room. Jiang Ji asked curiously, "What's the matter?"
"It's important," Ye Li replied seriously. "You should go back to our new house."
"Go back to your room?" Jiang Ji was completely confused.
On their wedding night, the idiot had explicitly forbidden him from entering the west room!
They also threw out all his personal clothes, shoes, and socks.
What kind of trick are they trying to pull by sending him back to his room now?
Ye Li naturally remembered this matter, but now this body has a different soul.
He declared confidently, "We're going to have our wedding night."
"!"
Jiang Ji immediately took a step back, creating distance between them: "What did you say?!"
Ye Li retorted, "Why are you hiding? Don't you want to consummate the marriage? Why don't you want to?"
"..."
Jiang Ji's lips twitched.
Why wouldn't I want you to be clueless?
The last time we met, we argued so badly we almost got a divorce on the spot. Now we don't argue anymore, but we're not close anymore!
They're not even close!
He remained silent, but Ye Li wasn't about to let him off the hook: "Or are you saying you can't?"
"..."
You wouldn't!
Jiang Ji was speechless.
Before he could say anything, Ye Li's expression suddenly changed. She pointed at him with her left hand, which was not holding the oil lamp, as if struck by lightning, and exclaimed in shock, "Could it be that you're impotent?!"
"?"
Jiang Ji's handsome face instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
Ye Li chuckled: "Alright, alright, just kidding. You can do it, you definitely can."
"We're a married couple, are you sure you want to stay separated like this forever?"
"Or do you have other plans, intending to divorce me and marry a rich and beautiful woman after you pass the imperial examination?"
Although it was the first time Jiang Ji had heard the term "Bai Fumei" (meaning "rich, beautiful, and fair-skinned"), the term was not difficult to understand.
His face remained as black as charcoal: "I never had such a thought."
"Then why are you still arguing? You'll have to consummate your marriage sooner or later."
Ye Li stepped forward, took his arm, and led him towards the west room: "I know you hate me, so just consider this as us acting out our hatred."
"..."
Jiang Ji remained silent.
My mind is in complete turmoil.
Before returning this time, he never even dared to hope that the good-for-nothing would live peacefully with him, let alone consummate their marriage.
The transformation of that bumbling fool is too great!
Moreover, judging from the way that idiot is acting, he's probably just lusting after her body!
He was half-heartedly pulled into the west room by Ye Li.
By the light, he subconsciously surveyed the room.
This used to be his house, and although there were a few new pieces of furniture, he didn't feel any sense of unfamiliarity.
Ye Li placed the oil lamp on the wooden table under the window. Seeing that he was standing still, she went over, grabbed his wrist, and led him onto the kang (a heated brick bed).
"Don't resist it, it was bound to happen sooner or later, wasn't it?"
"..."
That's weird.
Why does it sound like you're forcing a virgin?
Jiang Ji took a deep breath and turned to look at the person next to him.
Ye Li looked at him with a smile that was not only outstanding but also amiable.
The two stood close together, appearing extremely intimate.
It's very unfamiliar.
This scene was so unfamiliar.
But in his plans, he never considered directly and proactively divorcing the person in front of him.
As the fool said, it was his father who took the initiative to save him.
The Ye family is so kind to pool all their resources to support his education.
He cannot be ungrateful.
Since you haven't considered divorce, then...
He spoke in a deep voice: "Are you really willing? You won't suddenly change your mind?"
"Of course I'd love to!" Ye Li answered quickly, then added with some dissatisfaction, "I told you long ago that I've changed my personality, why didn't you believe me?"
"Then take off your clothes yourself."
Jiang Ji gave a reminder.
He was worried that Ye Li might suddenly change her expression and scratch him.
"Fine, I'll take it off." Ye Li immediately reached out to unbutton the right side of her clothes.
Jiang Ji quickly looked away.
He gritted his teeth and reached up to unbutton his shirt.
As the weather warmed up, neither of them wore thick clothes.
Jiang Ji, in particular, had just taken a shower and was only wearing a thin linen short-sleeved shirt.
He took off his shirt, exposing his lean upper body to the air.
Ye Li exclaimed in surprise, "That's right, although my cheap husband looks thin, he has some meat on his bones, he's not a greyhound."
Thinking about what was about to happen, he blushed and lowered his head to undo his belt.
He quickly took off all his clothes, pulled back the covers, and crawled into bed.
He then covered half his face with the blanket and said to Jiang Ji, "Take your clothes off too, and lie down here."
Jiang Ji took a deep breath and did as instructed.
He then lifted the covers and lay down inside as well.
Before he could even lie down properly, a warm, smooth body pounced into his arms.
He froze instantly.
