Pei Jiwang smiled; this was the first time Zixi had ever seen him smile so heartily.
Her eyebrows and eyes relaxed, losing their usual coldness and gaining a warm glow.
"Okay, I'm yours now."
After saying that, Pei Jiwang bent down and picked her up in his arms.
Zi Xi gasped and instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck: "What are you doing!"
"Entering the bridal chamber."
Pei Jiwang said matter-of-factly, and carried her toward the bedroom.
Although the bedroom only has a hard bed and a thin quilt.
Pei Jiwang gently placed her on the bed but did not do anything immediately. Instead, he sat on the edge of the bed and held her hand.
"Xixi, I know there have been many misunderstandings about you in the past..."
"But these three months together have shown me the real you."
"You are strong, smart, and kind."
“I…I’m so glad the organization betrothed you to me.”
He called her name, his voice gentle.
Hearing these words, Zi Xi couldn't help but shed tears again.
This time, they were tears of happiness.
"I'm so glad I met you."
"Although I was afraid of you at first, thinking you were cold and unromantic..."
"But later I discovered that you are actually very thoughtful and reliable. You will protect me when I need you and you will think of me..."
Zi Xi said, her voice choked with sobs.
Am I talking too much?
As she spoke, she laughed shyly at herself.
"not much."
"I enjoy listening to you talk."
Pei Jiwang shook his head.
He leaned down and kissed her again.
This time, the kiss turned from gentle to passionate, carrying with it accumulated emotions and a rightful right.
Zi Xi wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him closer in an awkward response, feeling his breath and warmth.
Their clothes gradually came off as they kissed, and the glow of the kerosene lamp cast overlapping shadows on the wall.
[This is such a strange feeling...]
He's so gentle...
Pei Jiwang listened to her innermost thoughts and became even more solemn in his actions.
As night deepened, a gentle sea breeze blew, carrying the sound of distant waves.
Two people who were once strangers became the closest people in each other's lives on this night.
The next morning, Zixi woke up due to her biological clock.
As dawn broke, sunlight streamed in through the gap in the curtains made from an old bed sheet.
She found herself lying in Pei Jiwang's arms, his other hand loosely wrapped around her waist.
Pei Jiwang was still asleep, breathing evenly. His usually taut jawline appeared much softer in his sleep.
Zi Xi gazed quietly at his sleeping face, a strange sense of peace welling up within her.
Last night, he really became my husband...
Thinking about last night, her face turned red again.
Although at the beginning, but later.
She quickly stopped thinking, afraid of waking him.
But Pei Jiwang still woke up.
He opened his eyes, and there was no longer the confusion he had when he first woke up; his eyes were clear as if he had been awake for a long time.
"morning."
He spoke softly, his voice hoarse from the early morning.
Good morning.
Zi Xi responded softly, snuggling closer into his arms.
Pei Jiwang tightened his arms, holding her even closer.
The two embraced quietly, listening to the chirping of early birds and the sound of the waves outside the window.
"Does it still hurt?"
He suddenly asked.
Zi Xi's face turned even redder, and she shook her head: "It doesn't hurt anymore."
"That's good."
"Sleep a little longer, it's still early."
Pei Jiwang kissed her forehead.
"Don't you have to go to the company today?"
"Commander Li granted me a special three-day leave for my wedding."
Three days?
Zi Xi opened her eyes wide in surprise.
"Um."
"So we can stay here for three days."
Pei Jiwang's eyes were filled with a smile.
