Chapter 37 Not Ready
Du Huaizhi was stunned. Growing up, she had rarely been mentioned as a friend. If An Nian was her friend, then he was the only one.
Seeing her silence, An Nian's eyes lit up and he rubbed his hands together, saying, "Hurry up and tell me."
"If you have the chance, you will know." Unfortunately, Du Huaizhi did not let her have her wish. "When Zhizhi wakes up, we will go back."
An Nian slumped down, "Oh."
Du Huaizhi was also very distressed about this relationship. On the wedding night, she pretended to unbutton her clothes with her back to Li Siyu, and when Li Siyu was not paying attention, she climbed out of the window.
That's right, she ran away. Because of that laced wedding wine, Li Siyu didn't know how she spent the night, but she just spent the whole night in the cold wind on the tree.
When she returned the next morning, she saw Li Siyu had changed into a new set of coarse cloth clothes and was chopping firewood in the yard.
He had fair skin and a handsome appearance, exuding an innately noble aura. Standing in the courtyard, he felt perfectly at home. She didn't know how he'd managed to conceal his violet eyes, but when he looked at her, they held a hint of resentment, not the cold, bloodthirsty look she usually saw.
I inexplicably feel like a married man.
This horrifying thought was thrown out by Du Huaizhi as soon as it popped up in her mind. She didn't sleep well last night and was dizzy and blind, so she could actually see the feeling of being a married man from this thing.
"Where did you go last night?"
Du Huaizhi was still wearing her wedding dress and felt a little guilty. She avoided the question and only said, "I'll go change my clothes and cook breakfast." She didn't have to eat breakfast, but Grandma Huang had to eat it.
He hurried back into the house, closed the door, and blocked out the gaze that was always hanging over him.
The room was still arranged the same as last night, the only difference being that it had been tidied and the quilt on the bed was neatly folded. If he wasn't Li Siyu, getting married wouldn't be bad either.
However, fate played a trick on her. After changing her clothes, Du Huaizhi went to the kitchen and found that Li Siyu was already waiting for her there.
He rolled up his sleeves and said, "I'll help you light the fire."
Du Huaizhi: “…”
Help 〒_〒……
At the dinner table, Granny Huang's gaze swirled between the two of them, her cloudy eyes gleaming with light. "Good children, everything is fine."
Du Huaizhi looked at him. There was a smile in Li Siyu's eyes, but her expression did not change. She felt a chill in her heart.
In the blink of an eye, it was night again. Du Huaizhi was polishing her pancake stall inside and out in the yard until it shined brightly, but she was reluctant to go into the house.
Feeling that Granny Huang was looking at her, she reluctantly entered the room. She closed the door behind her and saw Li Siyu gathering his clothes.
It was autumn at the time, and he was only wearing a moon-white single-piece garment, with the loose collar revealing his fair chest. When he saw Du Huaizhi coming in, he slowly pulled up the garment to cover the large blank area.
Du Huaizhi turned her head away from him and walked to the clothes rack to take off her coat. There was only one bed in the room, and no extra bedding to sleep on the floor. Granny Huang loved her grandson-in-law very much, so she was afraid that she would keep a close eye on her for the next few days.
Her movements were slow, and it took her half a cup of tea just to untie her belt. Li Siyu couldn't wait until she finally took off her coat and leaned over from behind her.
The tall figure almost enveloped her. Du Huaizhi was startled and almost pushed the clothes hanger over. After she held the clothes hanger, someone hugged her waist from behind. Du Huaizhi froze and goose bumps spread all over her body.
"Don't you want to marry me?" He leaned close to her ear and asked, his hot breath spraying on her neck. Du Huaizhi really couldn't stand such close contact.
"No," she replied, trying to struggle free, but to no avail.
"You haven't looked me in the eye or spoken to me the whole day today. You also avoided me last night, leaving me alone in the empty room." His voice seemed a little aggrieved, but Du Huaizhi's mind was full of thoughts of escaping.
After waiting for a while and getting no response, Li Siyu's eyes darkened. He picked her up by the waist and put her on the bed.
Du Huaizhi wanted to take action, but was worried about being discovered. When he approached, he raised his hand to cover his mouth, "Wait... wait." Facing his eyes that were deep enough to eat people, he gritted his teeth and gave a relatively reasonable explanation, "I'm just not ready yet."
She was only seventeen years old now, and although she was old enough to get married, she had no intention of getting married. This sudden marriage had already confused her, not to mention that the person she was marrying was a ruthless person she had been avoiding, which made her really unable to accept it.
Li Siyu held her hand, his eyes dimmed a little, "Not ready?"
Seeing him like this, Du Huaizhi knew there was room for negotiation. "Yes, I'm not ready." She supported herself on the bed and moved back a little. "Although we are married, we just met after all. Right away, that..."
Say half the story and let him experience the rest himself.
Li Siyu rubbed the tip of his thumb on her palm, thinking about something. Du Huaizhi felt itchy and withdrew her hand.
"Let's spend some time together first, and then we can do something after we are familiar with each other." God knows how much effort Du Huaizhi put in to say this. He deliberately pretended to be harmless, obviously not knowing her identity, and wanted to be a gentle and considerate couple with her.
But Du Huaizhi knew his identity and his methods. She really couldn't accept doing anything with him, so in order to avoid losing her virginity to him, she had to try every possible means.
Li Siyu stared at her for a long time and said, "Okay." She actually agreed.
Du Huaizhi was a little surprised, but the next moment he put his hand on her waist again. Du Huaizhi was so shocked that she held his hand down. Her usually cold eyes showed a rare panic. "What are you doing?!"
Li Siyu's Adam's apple rolled. "If you won't let me touch you, then of course I can only sleep. How can I sleep without taking off my clothes?"
"No." Du Huaizhi blurted out.
"Hmm?" Li Siyu narrowed his eyes dangerously. "You want me to be plain, and that's fine, but you won't even let me sleep in the same bed with you?"
Du Huaizhi wouldn't agree, but he also knew to quit while he was ahead. Never mind, just pretend he was being bitten by a dog. He closed his eyes, ready to die, and slowly loosened his grip on him. A light, delighted laugh reached his ears.
…
This went on for several months, and he took Li Siyu to work for several months, chopping wood, fetching water, washing clothes, cooking, and even going to the village to repair the houses for the old men and women.
It wasn't that Du Huaizhi insisted on him working, it was just that he was following him closely. Every time he tried to sneak out, he would be discovered. When he was caught, he would have to listen to his sarcastic remarks. Even if he managed to sneak out successfully, he would pop up in the unexpected place, so terrifying.
Until Grandma Huang passed away, Du Huaizhi finally had no worries and wanted to confess to Li Siyu, but he suddenly said that he was going on a long journey.
A few days after he left, Du Huaizhi secretly received news of internal strife at the headquarters.
