Everyone in the lobby had a happy smile on their face, happily watching the newlyweds go through the process step by step.
Wen Liyu turned around and looked at the ground and Xie Jingzhi's legs through the veil.
"The husband and wife bow to each other——!" The emcee was Lin Ye, who had an excellent voice and his voice was crisp when he stretched out the notes.
Wen Liyu's heart skipped a beat as she listened to the lyrics. The scene of her marriage to Shaoyao flashed before her eyes. She pursed her lips, bent down, and bowed to Xie Jingzhi for the last time.
"The ceremony is over, send her to the bridal chamber—!"
Wen Liyu was sent to the decorated bridal chamber. She originally thought that she would have to wait in the room for a long time, but she didn't expect that Xie Jingzhi would not go to entertain relatives and friends, but followed her directly back to the bridal chamber.
Under the guidance of the matchmaker, Xie Jingzhi used a weighing rod to lift the veil, and Wen Liyu's beautiful and charming face was fully displayed in front of him.
After each step, the matchmaker would say a word of auspicious blessing. Only when they drank the wedding wine did Xie Jingzhi come back to his senses from the beauty of his wife.
The two of them held the wedding wine cups and drank from them.
The ceremony was completed, and except for the newlyweds, everyone else who came to help left quickly, with meaningful smiles on their faces.
Xie Jingzhi reached out and touched the phoenix crown on Wen Liyu's head, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Is it heavy?"
"It's heavy." Wen Liyu didn't dare to nod, for fear that it would fall off her head. Her head was hung with so many heavy decorations that her neck was already sore.
Xie Jingzhi stood by the bed and helped her take off the phoenix crown and other decorations and placed them on the table.
"Aren't you going out to entertain them?" Wen Liyu moved her aching neck, holding back tears, "It's so sore..."
"Don't worry about them." Xie Jingzhi put his hand on the back of her neck and gently massaged it for her.
He squatted down in front of the bed, staring at her with his deep eyes, "You are my wife now."
"Yeah." Wen Liyu pursed her lips and nodded.
Just as Xie Jingzhi was about to take her to the table to eat something, Wen Liyu spoke again, "Why didn't you tell me you were getting married a few days ago? Aren't you afraid that I wouldn't agree?"
"You don't want to marry me?!" Xie Jingzhi's heartbeat paused slightly, his eyes widened, and he asked sternly, "Do you regret it?"
"No." Wen Liyu wasn't afraid of him at all, and pouted in dissatisfaction, "Who would get married without proposing?"
When Xie Jingzhi heard that she was unhappy because of this, the fear and tension he had just felt subsided. He squatted back at her feet and looked her in the eye.
The two looked at each other quietly for a while, and then Xie Jingzhi, with red ears, took out a jade bracelet of high quality from his arms and said, "This is a jade bracelet passed down from my family for my wife."
"Wen Liyu, please be with me."
Xie Jingzhi scratched his head and continued with a blushing face, "If you and I are good, I will take you to pick flowers and see the rhododendrons all over the ground in spring, take you to play in the water in summer, fan you all night, take you to the mountains to pick sweet fruits in autumn and eat fat and juicy game, take you to play in the snow and warm your kang in winter."
"You are so delicate and you look like someone who needs to be pampered. If you are good to me, I will do everything at home and you just need to be with me."
It was the first time Wen Liyu heard someone propose in this way. She was very curious. Following Xie Jingzhi's description, she thought it was quite good.
She smiled and nodded, "Okay."
Xie Jingzhi's tense body relaxed immediately after hearing her response. He took her hand, put the jade bracelet on, and nodded with satisfaction, "It looks good."
Wen Liyu touched the bracelet and looked at him, suddenly remembering something, "Xie Jingzhi."
Xie Jingzhi thought she had some instructions, so he immediately sat up straight and said, "Go ahead."
Wen Liyu blinked and said awkwardly, "Can you stop hurting me?"
Xie Jingzhi paused, thinking of something. His ears and cheeks flushed red. His eyes moved around her and he stammered, "I...I'll try my best. I'll be gentle, okay?"
"Liar." Wen Liyu muttered softly. She had not forgotten what happened in her dream before.
As soon as he got close to her, he didn't stop even if she was about to faint from crying. Instead, he coaxed her and said that this was really the last kiss.
Seeing her like this, Xie Jingzhi began to panic again. He sat on the bed and held her in his arms, "Jiaojiao, don't play with me. You promised me just now."
"I know." Wen Liyu reached out and touched his tense jaw, "I'm not kidding you."
Xie Jingzhi's Adam's apple kept rolling, and his eyes were like a wolf, staring at her closely.
Wen Liyu ran her fingers down from her jaw to her neck, gently pressed her Adam's apple, and asked softly, "Are you thirsty?"
"Yeah, I'm almost dying of thirst." Xie Jingzhi lowered his head, holding her waist with his hands and lifting her up, "Jiaojiao, help me quench my thirst."
"Then I'll go get you some water... um!" Before Wen Liyu could finish her words, her soft lips were pressed hard by him.
Xie Jingzhi licked the bright red lip balm off bit by bit, and swallowed it along with the overflowing water stains.
The red candles with dragon and phoenix patterns on the table are burning diligently, lighting up the room.
The atmosphere in the room grew thicker and hotter. The curtains of the bed were lowered, hiding the figures of the two people, leaving only their intertwined shadows visible.
"Wu...don't bite..." Wen Liyu cried and cursed, "You lied to me again!"
"System, system, ointment!" She shouted at the system frantically in her heart.
System: "Already redeemed."
There was a slight bulge under her pillow. Wen Liyu reached in with a trembling hand, took out an antique box, and sobbed, "...Use this."
“…When did you prepare it?” Xie Jingzhi felt like he was about to explode. He stroked her waist with his hand, trying to quench his thirst with poison.
Wen Liyu's eyes were as red as a rabbit's, and she panted softly, "I don't want to tell you... you always lie..."
"No more lies." Xie Jingzhi held the ointment in his hand, lowered his head and kissed her neck and collarbone lovingly, "From now on, I will only pee, not lie."
"...Puff." Wen Liyu cried and laughed at the same time, almost blowing out snot bubbles.
Xie Jingzhi helped her wipe away her tears and snot. Seeing her smile so cutely, he couldn't help but lower his head and bite her all over.
Wen Liyu had just stopped crying when he bit her and she started crying again. She looked so pitiful.
The candlelight burned until late at night. Wen Liyu didn't know how long she had been crying. During this time, Xie Jingzhi was afraid that she would become dehydrated, so he coaxed her to drink a lot of water.
While drinking water and consuming energy, Wen Liyu was so tired that she fell asleep and was still sobbing in her dreams.
Xie Jingzhi had been busy all night and was still in high spirits. Seeing that his wife was still crying even in her sleep, he felt sorry for her and let her go for the time being.
He got out of bed and took a new set of bedding from the cupboard, replacing the pillows and cushions that were soaked with tears.
Xie Jingzhi touched the pillow and felt like he could squeeze water out of it. "My Jiaojiao is made of water, right?"
He packed his things and went out to get a basin of hot water to wipe Wen Liyu's body. He swallowed his saliva while wiping, and his eyes were almost green with anticipation.
"Ah..." Xie Jingzhi went to bed, hugged his sweet and soft wife, and sighed, "I'm not full..."
