A breeze blows, and the red flowers of the weeping crabapple by the window sway in the wind. Occasionally, a bird flutters up and flies away, making a soft rustling sound as the branches and leaves rub against each other.
The room was completely silent. Lu Yu stared in astonishment. After a moment, he came to his senses and hurriedly reached out to push her away.
Pei Qing's almond-shaped eyes widened like a cat's as she gripped his neck tightly, pressing her body against his and clinging to him relentlessly.
The sweet, fragrant scent of his daughter suddenly welled up in his mind, and her soft, tender tongue entwined with his.
He was breathing heavily, and he gripped her waist, trying to pull her off him.
But the two were pressed too close together, and his chest was being squeezed by that soft, snow-white flesh, making his body stiff beyond belief.
Even before a young man from a prominent family comes of age, he will have a maidservant to help him satisfy his desires. However, he was focused on studying the classics and passing the imperial examinations, so he declined and never had a maidservant by his side.
However, when he was in Yandu, he often went to Chunfeng Pavilion with his friends and saw the erotic paintings in the boudoir. He naturally knew that the two of them had not had any real relationship on the bed before, and there was still room for maneuver.
But now that things are like this, if I don't marry her, and word gets out, her reputation—
Seeing his appearance, Pei Qing hardened her heart, hooked her arms around his neck and pulled him up, wrapping her legs around his waist, locking him firmly, and hanging on him.
"---"
Lu Yu didn't know where to put her hands, which were being manipulated by her.
He was about to speak when she lowered her head and sealed his lips with hers, clumsily trying to seduce and kiss him, just like she had seen in a book.
"I--I'm about to fall---"
He heard her frightened sobs beside him, his expression paused slightly, he held her buttocks with his hand, and his voice was slightly hoarse.
"Get down."
Pei Qing refused to get down, and instead put all her weight on his arm.
Lu Yu thought she couldn't hold on any longer, so he carried her quickly to the bedside, bent down and placed her on the couch.
"We have already been intimate, you should marry me."
Suddenly, she leaned close to his ear, hooked her arm around his neck, and winked.
Lu Yu looked down at her, remained silent for a moment, and then asked, "Do you really want to marry me?"
Pei Qing nodded, her bright almond-shaped eyes shimmering with hope as she looked at him.
Moonlight streamed through the vermilion window, illuminating her face, revealing her fair skin, delicate nose, and beautiful eyes. Her lotus-pink dress could not conceal her full breasts, which were partially revealed through the thin veil.
The two were standing too close, and the sweet fragrance emanating from her wafted over him, making his throat feel dry. He frowned.
"Let go first."
"I won't let go." She suddenly leaned forward again, staring straight at him. "You've already seen everything, and you've kissed and touched me. Lu Yu, you have to take responsibility for me."
"---"
He didn't seem to kiss or touch her.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Pei Qing's moist red lips trembled slightly. After hesitating for a moment, she pulled him down onto the couch behind her with a forceful pull.
Lu Yu paused, then immediately tried to get up, but the woman wrapped her legs around his waist and pressed him down.
She bit her lower lip, her eyes moist as she looked at him, "If we consummate our marriage, will you be willing to marry me?"
"---"
Pei Qing had lived in Beidu for many years. The northern region was a melting pot of different ethnic groups, with an open and unconventional culture where men and women were not bound by traditional boundaries. Therefore, she was not as reserved as the young women of the Central Plains when it came to matters of love and relationships.
Seeing that she was determined to get her way, Lu Yu sighed and reached out to pry her off.
She wouldn't let go, clinging to him tightly like a koala, refusing to let go.
He said helplessly, "Get down first. Marriage is a serious matter, not something to be taken lightly."
"Lu Yu, you bastard, you saw me and touched me, yet you still won't marry me---"
Pei Qing angrily bit his shoulder hard.
Lu Yu winced in pain and said in a clear voice, "Since things have come to this, I will take responsibility, but---"
Before she could finish speaking, her eyes lit up, and she suddenly looked up with delighted surprise.
"You're willing to marry me?"
"---"
He said calmly, "It's common for young women to act on a whim. Pei Qing, are you really willing to marry me?"
Pei Qing looked at his handsome face, her heart pounding, and nodded eagerly, "Yes, I want to marry you."
Lu Yu was taken aback, lowered her eyes, and looked at her carefully.
"When are you going to marry me? Next month is the auspicious day. Shouldn't you come to propose marriage soon?"
She urged him so urgently, her impatient manner left him speechless for a moment, but considering that they were already like this, he cleared his throat and spoke.
"I will talk to my mother first thing tomorrow morning and ask her to come and propose marriage on an auspicious day."
Upon hearing this, Pei Qing couldn't help but laugh out loud three times. She involuntarily pressed herself against him, buried her face in his shoulder, and chuckled softly.
"good."
Lu Yu felt that their position was inappropriate, so he reached out to grab her hand and tried to get up.
"Brother Lu Yu, what happened to your pants?"
"Um?"
Lu Yu was puzzled by her words and frowned in suspicion.
Pei Qing shifted uncomfortably, muttering, "There's something there."
"---"
Lu Yu's face immediately turned unnatural. He quickly bent over, forcefully pried open her hands and legs, and sat up from the couch.
Pei Qing didn't know what was wrong with him, and was afraid that he would think she was too dissolute, so she quickly restrained herself and pulled her clothes up.
"I'll mention it to my mother tomorrow. It's getting late, so I'll have someone take you home first."
He stood by the table, his back to her, aloof and distant.
Pei Qing straightened his clothes and got off the bed, then hummed in agreement.
The Lu family of Fanyang was a prominent clan, so Lu Yu was not worried that his father would really get into trouble. He got up early the next morning and went to the study to find that his father had already returned.
When he mentioned his marriage to his parents, the two old people were overjoyed.
Miss Pei was born into a prominent family in the north. Although she was from a collateral branch, her branch had been a family of high-ranking officials for generations, with a strong family background.
It's truly a stroke of good luck that my son was able to marry Pei Qing.
They immediately began preparing to choose a date to go to the Pei family to get engaged.
Pei's parents knew that their daughter had taken a liking to the young man from the Lu family, so they didn't make things too difficult for her. After discussing it, the two families set a date and planned to get married at the end of August.
When Pei Qing heard the news and it was finalized, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. She was disgusted by that playboy from the Yang family, who was always finding excuses to ask her out.
If they don't set a date soon, she might just disregard the reputation of both families and beat him up in public.
“Brother Lu Yu”.
A low voice came from behind the screen.
Lu Yu, who was sitting in the lobby, heard the commotion behind him. He glanced at the room full of elders who were talking and making a ruckus, and no one was paying attention to him. So, taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, he quietly went out.
"What's wrong?"
Lu Yu came out of the house and saw a person in a light purple dress walking towards him from the corridor. He walked over to her.
Pei Qing pulled him toward the back garden, complaining in a low voice.
“My mother was afraid I wouldn’t be reserved, so she only let me peek from behind the screen. But I didn’t want to, so I called you out.”
Where are we going?
"Let's go somewhere where there's no one."
Lu Yu paused, then grasped her hand in return and sighed, "If someone sees this, it won't be good for your reputation."
Pei Qing paused, then turned around with a giggle, tiptoed, and hooked her arm around his neck, revealing her pearly white teeth.
"We're already engaged, what's there to be afraid of?"
Looking at her smile, Lu Yu's handsome face relaxed a little.
A sly glint flashed in her eyes, and she kissed him directly on the lips, declaring domineeringly, "From now on, you are my husband."
"---"
"Is that so?"
His eyes darkened. "Yes."
After saying that, he lowered his head and sealed her lips with his, silencing her gasp.
