The heavy rain kept falling, washing the mountain roads into mud. The sky was getting darker and darker, and the low clouds covered the sky completely.
Xiao Du had been on the march for many years and knew that in this situation, even if the rain stopped for a while, it would be extremely dangerous for them to go down the mountain. The rain would most likely cause landslides on the mountain road, and the people in the farm would not know they were here. Fortunately, there was still this cave that could barely hold them for the night, but he had not originally planned this way...
When he thought of this, he couldn't help feeling a little frustrated, but when he turned around and saw that Yuan Xi's thin shirt had been soaked by the rain, he put these messy thoughts aside. The cave was dark and cold, and he had to find some branches to make a fire to dry the clothes and keep her warm.
Fortunately, he had rich experience in marching, and he quickly built a comfortable cushion for Yuan Xi with dry grass in the cave, and ran out in the rain, chopped many branches with the dagger he carried with him, and took the time to pick up a few wild fruits and put them in his arms. The two of them ate dinner absent-mindedly, and at this moment they both felt a little hungry, so he put all the wild fruits in Yuan Xi's arms and started to build branches to make a fire.
Yuan Xi sat cross-legged, munching on sweet mountain fruits, and watched him diligently build a fire with stones and branches, and rubbed stones with dry grass to start a fire. The bright flames soon illuminated the entire cave and also reflected on his red face.
Yuan Xi then grinned with a piece of fruit in her mouth, and felt that she was no longer so cold. As long as he was by her side, she didn't have to worry about anything.
She gathered her clothes and walked over, stuffing a fruit from her arms into his mouth. Xiao Du placed branches on the fire and said, "Take off your wet clothes and dry them quickly. Be careful not to get sick."
After he finished speaking, he felt something was wrong. He turned around and saw Yuan Xi staring at her blankly with his cheeks puffed up, his face red in the light of the fire. Although they were already husband and wife, they were both virgins after all, and it was really awkward for them to suddenly be naked in front of each other.
Xiao Du felt his face was a little hot, so he coughed and said, "I'll go over there to prepare a place to sleep. You dry your clothes first."
Guilty, he turned his back and found a hollow, and made a bed out of dry straw. Hearing a rustling sound behind him, he felt his heartbeat quicken. Although he couldn't see, images kept popping up in his mind, making him uneasy. He didn't know what his men were doing, so he cursed himself for being useless in his heart, "Why would I be afraid to look at my own wife!"
He simply turned around and saw Yuan Xi had taken off her coat and put it on the fire. She was now untying her hair and combing her wet hair with her head tilted. Her dark hair was flowing down, and water droplets were slowly sliding down her hair onto her smooth neck. The firelight made her cheeks as rosy as a peach. Her wet underwear was sticking to her body, revealing her delicate curves.
Xiao Du stared at her with his eyes wide open, almost choking. With a clang, the dagger in his hand fell to the ground. Yuan Xi was startled and turned around quickly, meeting his fiery gaze. Suddenly, both of them felt their hearts beating like deer. She felt panicked and lowered her head and scolded, "Why are you peeking?"
Xiao Du also lowered his head hastily, his mind full of the scene just now. There was a flame in his belly that kept flickering, making him feel hot and uneasy. He hurriedly picked up the dagger, but slipped again, and the dry grass that had been laid out was thrown everywhere.
Yuan Xi rarely saw him so helpless, and couldn't help laughing again. Seeing that his hair was still dripping with water, she mustered up her courage and finally whispered, "You're all wet too, come over here and warm yourself up, otherwise it will be very uncomfortable if it sticks to you."
Xiao Du thought: How can I, a grown man, be more shy than my wife? So he straightened his chest, pretended to be calm and walked to the fire, quickly stripped off his underwear, and hung it on the fire to dry. Yuan Xi glanced at him and saw that he was naked in the blink of an eye. He felt that his heart was about to fly out of his chest, and he quickly sat up straight facing the fire, not daring to breathe.
Xiao Du suddenly remembered the scene on their wedding night and couldn't help but teasing, "Why don't you dare to watch it again this time?"
Yuan Xi spat at him lightly, her ears turning red. She didn't know what to say for a moment. The air was filled with a thick and ambiguous atmosphere, making their heartbeats particularly loud, accompanied by the crackling of the fire.
Xiao Du fanned the flames and finally decided to break the awkward confrontation. He said softly, "How about I help you comb your hair?"
Yuan Xi nodded shyly and handed him the comb. She felt his eyes on her and turned away quickly, not daring to look at him. Xiao Du gently took up her hair and combed it down a little bit. Seeing the black hair in his palm, he suddenly became playful and used his fingers to hook it and twist it, until... he accidentally tied it into a knot.
His face suddenly darkened, and he secretly looked at Yuan Xi, and saw that she was still shy, with her head down and staring at the fire in a daze. So he calmed down and tried to solve the problem, but the more he tried to solve it, the more confused he became, and finally it became a tangled mess.
Yuan Xi's heart was full of tenderness and love, but suddenly she felt her scalp was pulled a little painful. She turned around and saw him untying his hair with sweat all over his forehead. She was stunned.
But the harder he tried to untie the hair, the more tangled it became. Yuan Xi finally became annoyed by his pulling and pulled the hair back, saying, "I'll do it myself."
Xiao Du was really reluctant to let her feel that she couldn't even do such a small thing properly, so he wanted to pull her back unconvinced. As they were pulling each other, Yuan Xi fell forward and fell on him. Xiao Du only felt that he was hugging a warm and soft jade. When he came to his senses, a soft round round body was against his chest. The soft touch "rubbed" and spread from his chest, making his whole body warm. Suddenly, his mind went blank and he didn't know where to put his hands and feet.
Yuan Xi was both shy and anxious. Now there was only a thin layer of cloth between her and him. She could even feel his hot skin pressed tightly against her chest. She instinctively struggled to get up, but this made the friction more intense. Xiao Du was so aroused by her that he finally pressed her into his arms and kissed her hard on the lips.
He inserted his hands into her hair, gently pried open her teeth with the tip of his tongue, licked every part of her mouth obsessively, nibbled and nibbled, and entangled with her breath. At this moment, he felt that his whole body was burning and painful, and she was his spring, and only by attracting her could he quench his thirst.
Finally, he was no longer satisfied with just lingering on her lips, but reached into her clothes and grasped the softness that she had longed for. Both of them trembled in their hearts. Yuan Xi felt her whole body tremble, and she took a breath of cool air. She instinctively reached out to push him away, but he grabbed her and said in a hoarse voice in her ear: "Don't be afraid."
Yuan Xi slowly relaxed under his charming voice. Yes, he was her husband, the person she was willing to entrust her life to, so what was there to be afraid of?
But she still felt a little awkward, so she bit her lip and said carefully: "But I'm still wet... and I'll make you wet too..."
Xiao Du was amused by her, and he put his face close to her nose, saying softly, "Then take it off." Yuan Xi closed her eyes tightly, feeling that her heart could not bear it. She felt him gently take off her last piece of clothing, and his hot lips meandered down along her curves, causing a slight shudder wherever they went. The soft and smooth touch made him sigh with satisfaction, and his reason had long been thrown out of the window, leaving only instinct to lead them to indulge in entanglement.
"A-choo" a crisp sneeze suddenly broke the intertwined beauty in the cave. Xiao Du raised his head with a dark face and said in disbelief: "It's cold like this...?" Yuan Xi covered her face with shame. She didn't want to make such a sound at this time, but she... was cold.
She tried to hold it back, but finally couldn't help sniffing, and the sound was particularly clear in the empty cave. Xiao Du couldn't continue, no matter how tender he was. He stood up helplessly, picked up the coat that had been baked, handed it to her, and said, "Hurry up and change it, or you'll catch a cold."
Seeing Yuan Xi shrinking her neck and putting on her coat like a child who had done something wrong, he couldn't help but feel a lot of pity for her. He felt that he was too impulsive just now. He had clearly planned to give her the best memory. How could he let her recall the first time in this cold and gloomy cave?
He frowned, thankful that he had not continued, coughed lightly, forced himself not to think about those beautiful scenes, and tried to speak in a normal tone: "The hay is ready, you can go and sleep there first."
Yuan Xi said "Oh" softly, turned around and walked a few steps, then turned back and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito bite, "Aren't you coming over to sleep?"
Xiao Du raised his head and was about to speak, but suddenly froze. She was not wearing an inner garment, and her loose coat revealed her curves faintly. Her face was still flushed, and her fair neck was covered with traces of the lovemaking just now. He felt his blood boiling, and lowered his head quickly, trying to remind himself that he had waited far away for her, and was not afraid of fighting in battle, so what kind of man was he if he couldn't even bear this moment.
Yuan Xi didn't know what he was struggling with, and seeing him lower his head and not answer her, she thought he was angry because of what happened just now. She felt a little wronged, so she gathered her clothes and slowly walked to the pit where the bed had been prepared and lay down. Suddenly, she felt empty beside her, cold and a little sad, so she tossed and turned, but couldn't fall asleep.
Xiao Du heard occasional sneezing and sniffing sounds coming from over there, and finally couldn't help turning his head to look, and found her lying there, hugging her shoulders and crying silently.
He immediately felt distressed, and hurried over to ask, "What's wrong?"
Yuan Xi raised her little face pitifully and said softly, "I'm cold."
Xiao Du sighed and had to lie down beside her with his clothes on. Seeing that her shoulders were still trembling, he reached out and hugged her, but did not dare to get too close.
Yuan Xi felt the warmth from his body slowly flowing into her body. She turned around contentedly, rested her head on his warm chest, and closed her eyes comfortably.
But Xiao Du just couldn't calm down. He stood stiffly, his nose filled with her sweet scent. Her soft body pressed against his, making almost every part of his skin clamor and desire.
Yuan Xi hugged his waist in a daze, suddenly frowned and murmured, "Your jade is poking me again." She reached out her hand impatiently to push the thing away, but when she touched it, she shuddered all over and suddenly woke up.
Even if she had never eaten pork, she had seen pigs run. She had read Huangdi Neijing many times, so she naturally understood what it was. Her face flushed, and she wanted to shake him off as if she had been electrocuted. But he held her back tightly. When she raised her head, she saw his eyes full of forbearance and desire. He said in a hoarse voice with some pleading in his voice, "Can you charge more interest this time?"
The next day, sunlight slowly entered the cave entrance, shining on the pile of firewood that had long since gone out. Xiao Du and Yuan Xi dressed and walked out of the cave, both with awkward expressions on their faces. Xiao Du wandered around beside her, and finally mustered up the courage to ask, "Are your hands still sore?"
Yuan Xi's face immediately turned red, and he glared at him fiercely. He walked forward angrily, but he was suddenly hugged from behind and then fell on his back. Xiao Du turned around and said with a smile: "I said I would carry you down the mountain. A man should keep his word."
Yuan Xi put her face on his back and felt that the cicadas' chirping in the forest seemed to strike at her heart, making her heart tremble and feel confused, yet with a hint of sweetness.
