The light illuminated the underground parking lot of the villa, and all it had was light.
Without the warmth of the sun, the entire area was chilly, engulfing every car parked there.
Except for that car that just drove in.
The lights, like a vile voyeur, pressed against the car window, only to be kept out by the privacy film.
It was indistinct, as if there were shadows superimposed on it, making a certain area that couldn't let in light even darker.
Lu Shizhen knelt on one knee on the chair, pressing against Xu Shiyue's leg, while Xu Shiyue changed from a proper sitting posture to leaning back.
Their fingers intertwined, their moist lips brushing against each other, while the silently running air conditioner continuously raised the temperature inside the car.
Xu Shiyue's slit skirt spread out under the seat, her slender legs seemingly crossed casually.
The smudged lipstick was imprinted on Lu Shizhen's lips. Her light-colored lips were easy to stain, and every kiss left a mark belonging to Xu Shiyue.
Her long, soft, black hair cascaded down her relaxed shoulders and neck. Xu Shiyue accepted Lu Shizhen's kiss with her head slightly raised, as if she were a superior accepting the advances of a subordinate. But in reality, the power was in Lu Shizhen's hands.
Lu Shizhen's fingers ran through Xu Shiyue's long hair behind her neck, and she kissed her deeply, a kiss even more intense than the one she had given in front of the building.
Each of her kisses seemed to steal the other person's oxygen, as if she wanted to embed them into her own body.
Lu Shizhen recognized the veteran fan who made an example of someone in the supertopic the moment she saw him.
The tone and logic of her voice were instantly perceived by Lu Shizhen as Xu Shiyue's voice. They knew each other too well; Xu Shiyue could recognize her just by looking at her back, and she could recognize Xu Shiyue just by hearing a few words.
Lu Shizhen didn't pay much attention to her own super topic originally. It wasn't that she didn't care, but she just didn't know how to manage it, so she simply chose to avoid it and devoted herself entirely to comics.
Moreover, with Xiaoning keeping an eye on the supertopic, she can directly contact Xu Shiyue's company's legal department if any problems arise, so it's relatively reassuring.
Lu Shizhen didn't expect that Xu Shiyue had already been protecting her before the problem even occurred.
Scrolling back through that account reveals nothing but reposts of her Weibo posts and occasional promotions to clean up her fan community. Even earlier, there were posts asking for help with comics.
Lu Shizhen could even picture Xu Shiyue sitting at her desk at night, studying diligently.
But if the facts weren't right in front of them, who would have thought that the ruthless and decisive business tycoon would be taking notes on a middle school comic book at night?
The candy, which was almost completely melted, was licked up by Lu Shizhen's tongue, and Xu Shiyue's entire mouth was filled with sweetness.
The rich sweetness seemed to ferment, like alcohol, making Xu Shiyue feel dizzy and feverish with every bite.
This was Lu Shizhen's compensation to her.
Endless tenderness and endless lingering affection intertwined, making Xu Shiyue feel as if she were sinking down.
As she kissed Lu Shizhen, her back, which had been leaning against the chair back without any support, suddenly went limp, and she and Lu Shizhen lay flat on the seat together.
Sensing the change in the person in her arms, Lu Shizhen separated herself slightly from Xu Shiyue. Taking advantage of the time to recharge her oxygen, she asked Xu Shiyue, "I didn't expect Miss Xu to have infiltrated my super topic so early?"
"So you gave yourself away from the very beginning." Xu Shiyue wrapped her arms around Lu Shizhen's neck, her voice laced with laughter amidst her panting. "There's no way I could mistake you."
Although this matter has been discussed many times, Lu Shizhen's heart still skips a beat every time the details are brought up and enriched.
She raised her hand and brushed aside Xu Shiyue's slightly disheveled long hair, saying, "If you publicly execute someone like this and don't even allow him to collect the body, he'll hold a grudge."
Xu Shiyue didn't care: "There are plenty of people in this world who hate me. Why should I care about everyone's opinions?"
"Then whose opinion do you care about?" Lu Shizhen then asked.
The bright light from the car's exterior illuminated Xu Shiyue, whose breathing was erratic, yet whose gaze remained remarkably calm as she looked into Lu Shizhen's eyes.
Their eyes met, and with a slight parting of her thin lips, Xu Shiyue uttered a single word: "You."
"You're the one I care about most." As if afraid that her words weren't accurate enough, Xu Shiyue repeated them even more clearly, and then added two more words to Lu Shizhen's ear: "Wife."
It was originally just a question that came out casually during a conversation, without any particular expectation involved.
Lu Shizhen knew that Xu Shiyue's answer would definitely include her, but she didn't expect that Xu Shiyue's answer would only include her.
An ambiguous airflow enveloped Lu Shizhen's ears, like a heavy hammer blow to red-hot iron, and sparks of golden light, like clusters of flowers, instantly burst forth throughout Lu Shizhen's body.
The nickname Xu Shiyue just used for herself was too common, even cliché; almost every couple in the world would call each other that.
But the name she used for herself was too unique; it was a name that came from her vocal cords and that she only used to address herself.
Lu Shizhen was stunned for a moment.
As she gazed at the person smiling gently at her, she suddenly felt an overwhelming urge to kiss Xu Shiyue.
With this thought in mind, Lu Shizhen didn't hide it and leaned down to kiss Xu Shiyue.
Her kiss wasn't so gradual; it was as if it were a continuation of the kiss that had just been paused, pushing the ambiguity in the car to its peak step by step.
As Xu Shiyue received Lu Shizhen's kiss, the light streaming in from the window illuminated her vision.
They were both impeccably dressed, their trench coats still hanging properly on their bodies, but their lips pressed together, revealing an unspoken decadence.
Lu Shizhen's hand slowly reached up to Xu Shiyue's already softened waist, her fingertips under her shirt pressing against her pubic bone.
As the atmosphere grew more intense, the silent carriage was left with only a precarious calm, as if it could be shattered at any moment.
Xu Shiyue has always been quick to act, and she and Lu Shizhen completed the marriage certificate procedures in no time.
Whether it was because the main god knew about this or because the world favored the female protagonist, the sky was clear and cloudless on the day they got their marriage certificate. The day before, the sky was overcast with dark clouds, but the sun had chased away all the clouds that morning.
Lu Shizhen sat in the car looking at the red marriage certificate in her hand, feeling as if she were dreaming.
God knows that not long ago she was shipping her wife with another woman, fighting against death, but now she has personally broken up the ship she was shipping and married the person she loves.
"What are you grinning about?" Xu Shiyue asked, looking at Lu Shizhen in the passenger seat, who had a wide smile on her face.
"I'm laughing at myself for actually marrying the female lead!" Lu Shizhen said, her smile widening, with a hint of pride and boastfulness. "And the beautiful female lead loves me very much."
“Yes.” Xu Shiyue nodded generously as she looked at Lu Shizhen smiling like that. “When you meet my parents later, you should smile just as happily.”
"Don't worry." Lu Shizhen patted her chest and assured them, "I will definitely put your... parents' minds at ease."
Xu Shiyue couldn't help but smile when she heard Lu Shizhen's very tactful change of address.
I stepped on the gas and drove even faster.
Xu Shiyue's family has a family cemetery, but of course, Xu Shouxian, who was sentenced to death, and his descendants are not qualified to enter it.
The cemetery is staffed and cleaned regularly, and it looks very clean and orderly from a distance.
Xu Shiyue's parents' graves are located in a quiet and secluded place near the mountains and forests.
Looking at the familiar yet now black-and-white photo on the tombstone, Lu Shizhen slowly squatted down and said, "Mom and Dad, Shiyue and I got our marriage certificate today. I just took a picture of this certificate and showed it to my mom. Now I'm here to show it to you."
As she spoke, Lu Shizhen took out the red booklet she had been carrying in her bosom and spread it out.
Two smiling faces are side by side in the red photo, but Lu Shizhen looks a little embarrassed and says to the two people on the tombstone, "I'm different from Shiyue, I'm not very photogenic."
"But she's good enough for me."
As Xu Shiyue spoke, she squatted down next to Lu Shizhen and placed two cups of sake on them.
She carefully brushed the dust off the old man's tombstone and whispered, "She's the person I asked you to look for over there, but it seems you've wasted your time. She's still in my world."
Lu Shizhen, who was listening nearby, couldn't help but say, "That's a bit metaphysical for you. Didn't we agree to be materialists?"
Xu Shiyue, however, was quite frank, turning to look at Lu Shizhen: "As long as I can find you, I can give up being a materialist."
Xu Shiyue's voice was calm, but her tone was firm.
The wind swept through the woods, slightly messing up Xu Shiyue's hair. Lu Shizhen silently raised her hand to tidy up Xu Shiyue's disheveled hair.
Xu Shiyue never told her about those five years, especially the very beginning. Lu Shizhen didn't know how she managed to convince herself and keep going.
Strands of hair brushed against the diamond ring on the back of her finger, concealing her presence, yet their light shimmered in harmony with the light of her hand clasped with Xu Shiyue's.
Lu Shizhen thought she wouldn't leave. If someone had to experience separation again, she would definitely be that person.
As Lu Shizhen thought this, she looked at the tombstone in front of her and said to Xu Shiyue's parents in her heart, "I promise you, I will not let Shiyue go through such a thing again."
The simple worship ceremony ended quickly. As Lu Shizhen walked down the mountain, she felt her phone vibrate.
She took it out and saw it was a blessing from Lan: 【Congratulations, Teacher Sixteen! May you be happy!】
Lu Shizhen was stunned for a moment, then seemed to realize something and went to Weibo.
As soon as she opened Weibo, her private messages lit up with 99+ red dots, and a flood of blessings poured in.
Lu Shizhen's account is gaining many new followers every day, but she noticed one new follower at a glance—Lu Shi.
The beautifully peeled apple rabbit sat quietly in the round frame of the profile picture. The personal profile was exceptionally simple, yet it was overwhelmingly sweet—a private account, only for sharing daily life with his wife.
This is a new account that Xu Shiyue registered specifically. The first and only Weibo post reads: "My wife doesn't know, I posted this secretly [shh.jpg]".
The lush greenery, almost blending in with the surrounding scenery, spreads out on the phone screen, with Lu Shizhen's silhouette prominently displayed in the center of the image.
In the live photo, the spring breeze ripples through the green waves, and the focus is on the ring on Lu Shizhen's hand, which is bright and eye-catching.
The quiet of the past few days led Lu Shizhen to believe that Xu Shiyue's announcement to the world was just talk, but she never expected that Xu Shiyue's announcement to the world would be so simple and straightforward.
She looked back while holding her phone, only to see that Xu Shiyue, who was walking slower than her, had already walked up to her, hooked her arm around hers, and intertwined their fingers.
Xu Shiyue didn't hide it: "Sometimes I want to show off a little."
Lu Shizhen, however, smiled at Xu Shiyue and said, "As long as you want, it's fine to do it often."
