Chapter 481 The Male Lead of the Era 21 Although they have been living together for three months, everything is different today.
We're definitely sleeping together tonight.
[Could he... Oh dear! What am I thinking! Calm down!]
Pei Jiwang heard her inner turmoil and a hint of a smile flashed in his eyes.
He closed the door, walked to the table, and poured two glasses of water.
The enamel mug we used was a new one we bought for our wedding, printed with the double happiness symbol.
"Have some water."
He handed a cup to Zixi.
Zi Xi took the drink and sipped it, but dared not look at him.
The room was quiet, with only the sound of the sea breeze gently blowing.
The glow of the kerosene lamp cast their shadows on the wall, very close together.
Are you tired?
Pei Jiwang asked.
"fine."
Zi Xi shook her head, finally mustering the courage to look up at him.
Under the light, his eyebrows and eyes appeared particularly deep, and the collar of his military uniform was slightly open, revealing his Adam's apple and a small piece of his collarbone.
She suddenly realized that this man was now her husband.
This realization made her cheeks burn.
Pei Jiwang felt a surge of tenderness in his heart as he watched her blush.
He put down his cup and walked up to her.
"Xi Xi".
He spoke, his tone earnest.
"Um?"
Zi Xi subconsciously straightened up a bit.
"From today onwards, you are my wife."
"I will be good to you, protect you, and do everything I can to make you happy. This is my promise."
Pei Jiwang spoke each word carefully, looking intently at her.
This is not a grand vow, but it carries more weight than any sweet words.
"I will treat you well and be a good wife."
Zi Xi's tears welled up again, and she nodded vigorously.
After they finished speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled somewhat embarrassedly.
Pei Jiwang reached out and gently took her hand.
Her hands were small and soft, trembling slightly in his palm.
"Don't be afraid."
He said in a low voice.
I'm not afraid...
Zi Xi thought to herself.
She grasped his hand in return, her fingers intertwining with his.
This action stirred something within Pei Jiwang.
He looked down at their clasped hands, then slowly raised his head to gaze at her lips.
Zi Xi's heart suddenly raced.
Is he going to kiss me? Should I close my eyes?
【What should I do? What should I do... I'm so nervous!!】
Her heart was in turmoil, like that of a startled fawn.
Pei Jiwang listened, his smile deepening.
He didn't kiss her immediately, but instead raised his other hand and gently stroked her cheek, his thumb caressing her delicate skin.
You are so beautiful.
He said in a low voice.
Zi Xi's face turned even redder.
Why is he so eloquent today...?
Pei Jiwang finally lowered his head and kissed her lips.
A very light kiss, filled with tentative anticipation and tenderness.
Zi Xi closed her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling.
Her lips were soft and warm, carrying a faint, unique fragrance.
Instantly separate.
Looking at her tightly closed eyes and flushed face, Pei Jiwang felt a strong urge to protect her and a deep love welling up inside him.
He kissed her again, this time deeper and longer.
Zi Xi responded awkwardly, unsure of where to put her hands, and finally gently grasped the front of his military uniform.
The kiss lasted a long time, so long that Zi Xi felt it was difficult to breathe before Pei Jiwang slowly released her.
Their foreheads touched, their breaths mingling.
"From now on, you belong to me."
Pei Jiwang said in a low voice, his voice slightly hoarse.
"You're mine now too."
Zi Xi responded softly, looking at him with bright, sparkling eyes.
