Xu He was sitting in the new house, and there was no one else in the room. He didn't need to cover his head, and he could see the furnishings of the room clearly.
This was undoubtedly the first time he entered Zhang's house.
Zhang Fangyuan's bedroom is about two or three times bigger than the house he lives in at Xu's home. The room is very clean and decorated very festively today, with wedding characters pasted on the windows.
Since there was no one in the room, he got up and walked around. There was a table in the room, a dressing table next to the window, and a large wardrobe closer to the bed, all of which they had selected together in the city before.
He had a different feeling in his heart, as if he had really returned to his home.
Just as he was staring out the window in a daze, the door of the new house was suddenly pushed open, leaving a small gap, and then a figure came in.
"Cousin's wife."
Xu He saw the young men coming in, they were all from the village, so he naturally recognized Xiao Mao, but the two had no interaction before.
He thought it would be impolite for him, a newlywed, to look around instead of sitting on the bed and waiting for the groom to come. He quickly walked over to Xiaomao and asked, "Why are you here?"
Xiaomao smiled and put the food on the table: "My cousin Yuan said he was worried that you were hungry, so he asked me to bring some food in."
Xu He took a look at the bowl of sweet soup, a fragrant stewed black chicken drumstick, and two eggs that were brought in: "Eat quickly."
It was indeed time for dinner, and he was a little hungry, so he sat down and prepared to eat. After all, it was not only Zhang Fangyuan who was getting married today, he was also getting married, so it didn't make sense for him to eat outside alone while he was starving in the house.
"Have you eaten? Come eat something too."
Xiaomao shook his head and just looked at Xu He. Although people of the same age told Xiaomao that Xu He had a bad temper and didn't like to talk to people, his cousin A Yuan was even less good-tempered. He was not afraid of his cousin A Yuan, so he would be even less afraid of Xu He. Both of them were little brothers and although they were of different ages, it was easier for them to get along with each other.
"I've eaten outside before, but this is my first time sitting here. It's so busy today, with fifteen tables set up at once, and we have to set up three more tables."
Xiaomao happily described to Xu He the grand occasion of today's banquet. Xu He heard the noise outside and knew that there were indeed many people coming: "Your cousin should have prepared a lot of things."
"Of course. My cousin said that happy events can happen every year, but getting married only happens once in a lifetime, so it must be celebrated well." Xiaomao was very happy thinking about the waves of wedding candies being distributed to children outside.
Xu He's eyes softened when he heard that.
"My mother said that when I get married, she would be relieved if my husband's family could do such a good job."
Xu He thought that Zhang Fangyuan's fourth aunt had praised his nephew openly and secretly: "It will definitely happen."
Xiaomao was still vague about getting married, but it seemed like a good idea to have a lively party. He propped up his chin and asked, "Cousin, are the chicken legs delicious?"
Xu He nodded. Not only was the taste good, but more importantly, the chicken legs tasted even better because they were cared for. No wonder his second sister was so pretty. How could she not grow well after eating such good food?
"Would you like to eat something?"
Xiaomao shook his head and said seriously: "My cousin told me to watch you finish eating, so that you can have the strength to give birth to a fat baby sooner."
Xu He choked, Xiao Mao was also startled, and hurriedly brought him sweet soup to drink. Xu He's cheeks turned red from choking. He held the sweet soup and looked at Xiao Mao with a blushing face.
This bastard, his nonsense is corrupting the children.
"Don't listen to your cousin, he's a fool."
Xiao Mao chuckled: "Only my cousin's wife dares to say that my cousin Yuan is a fool. If someone else said that, he would definitely be beaten."
Xu He smiled and said, "I'll tell you in secret, don't tell him."
"Okay. I won't tell him, but even if my cousin knew, he wouldn't be angry with my cousin's wife."
"Has he done you a lot of good? Just say good things about him."
The two chatted and laughed for a while. Xu He ate the chicken leg and peeled an egg. He couldn't eat the other one, so Xiao Mao left the soup and egg on the table and took the tray away.
Xu He felt a little sleepy after eating, which was seldom the case for him, because when it was not a festival at the Xu family, he would only eat until he was 60% full, so it was impossible for him to feel sleepy. Also, it might be because Xiaomao came to talk to him for a while, and he was no longer worried. He didn't know how long the noise outside would last, but he could see through the window that it was getting dark outside.
He thought that it would be nice to take a nap now, but he still had to sleep at night. If he overslept now, wouldn't he be unable to fall asleep later?
Besides, he used to sleep alone, but now that he is married, he should sleep in the same bed with Zhang Fangyuan. He doesn’t know why, but Liu Xianglan and Xu Changren also sleep together at home. He guessed that couples should sleep together.
But this is a little bit hard to get used to. If I can't sleep by then, it will be even more awkward for both of us. It will be even worse if I disturb Zhang Fangyuan's sleep.
He suddenly felt worried, wondering if Zhang Fangyuan snored when he slept. He was a light sleeper. When Xu Changren snored in his sleep, he could hear the sound even from across the room, which kept him awake. Now there is someone sleeping directly next to me. If he snores, won’t I be able to sleep at all?
Xu He was upset and had a lot of random thoughts. He was afraid that the two of them could not live together.
I don't know what time it was, the candles in the room were half burned, the door creaked, and the candlelight made Zhang Fangyuan's strong body look even more majestic.
Xu He suddenly felt a little nervous. He subconsciously sat straighter on the bed, staring at Zhang Fangyuan and bolted the door.
"Have all the visitors left?"
"Almost done. Fourth uncle's wife will help entertain the rest." Zhang Fangyuan took off his coat as he entered the house: "No one can drink, but they insisted on drinking with me. When they got drunk, they even spilled the wine on my wedding dress."
Xu He went forward to help him get the clothes, but Zhang Fangyuan had no intention of giving him the clothes at all. He just raised his hand and threw them on a chair beside him.
"You're not drunk?"
"How can I get drunk? I can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk." Zhang Fangyuan looked at the person in front of him carefully and suddenly laughed: "You look really good today."
Upon hearing this, Xu He quickly turned around. He felt that Zhang Fangyuan was making fun of him. How could he be considered good-looking?
"Why are you hiding from me?" Zhang Fangyuan pulled the man's arm and said, "I'm serious."
Xu He's ears felt hot: "You've been tired all day, go to bed early."
Zhang Fangyuan was slightly startled when he heard this, then he started laughing. His wife was too proactive: "Are you so impatient?"
Xu He was a little confused and frowned.
"Do you want me to take a shower?" Zhang Fangyuan raised his arm and sniffed: "I just took a shower earlier. It's nothing else, but there is a little smell of alcohol on my clothes. Can you smell it?"
Xu He didn't know what this problem was, so he didn't dare to go over and smell it, and went back to bed.
When Zhang Fangyuan saw him taking off his shoes, he became even more excited. He didn't care about the smell of alcohol and just took off his clothes.
"You...you sleep so naked? It's not even summer yet!"
Xu He was very surprised to see Zhang Fangyuan take off his clothes in a flash, leaving only his pants. He had never slept with a man before, and he didn't know whether his father also took off his clothes when he slept with Liu Xianglan, but in short, he had never seen a shirtless man outside the bedroom.
He was obviously shocked by the man's living habits.
Zhang Fangyuan was also very honest: "I usually sleep shirtless when it's hot, and I don't take it off when it's cool on weekdays." But today is my wedding day, how can I sleep without taking it off?
Xu He's face turned red. Although it was not the first time he saw him shirtless, he was still a little embarrassed. He took off his shoes, socks and outer clothes and lay down on the inner side of the bed.
The weather in March is the best, neither too cold nor too hot, just right to cover yourself with a quilt at night. The blanket beneath him was soft, and the quilt covering him was also loose; he sank into it and felt very comfortable.
Zhang Fangyuan also hurriedly climbed onto the bed. It was originally a wide bed, but he felt much more cramped once he got on it.
The two were forced to get very close to each other and could clearly hear each other's breathing. Zhang Fangyuan had drunk a lot of wine and his body was already a little dry. Now he suddenly became nervous and his whole body was hot.
He couldn't bear it any longer, so he rolled over and pressed on Xu He, and instantly met a pair of shocked eyes.
There was suddenly a huge weight on his body, as if several thick raw logs were suddenly pressing down on him. Xu He was a little breathless and was also scared!
Zhang Fangyuan's strong and muscular body covered him, and he became as powerless as a chicken. The naked chest pressed against his body, their skin touching. The strong and elastic muscles made him unable to resist. He seemed to be able to feel the pulse beating with bulging blue veins.
"Can I... now?" Zhang Fangyuan's voice became hoarse. He could have pounced like a hungry tiger, but looking into Xu He's eyes, he was worried that the person would not want to be under his control and would be unhappy.
So I submitted the application against my conscience: "Is it possible?"
Xu He didn't understand what was going on, and fear gradually appeared in his pupils.
What happened to Zhang Fangyuan? Suddenly he became like a different person! Could it be that Liu Xianglan's words came true and her expression changed after she saw that her relatives were in her hands? Would she be going to beat him up?
If that's the case... he definitely won't be able to beat him.
Zhang Fangyuan saw that Xu He had not spoken for a long time. Although he had a bad temper, he knew that his wife was a talkative person and was always patient when waiting for him to speak.
He thought it was someone who was embarrassed, but when he saw the fear and sadness in Xu He's eyes, he was at a loss for what to do.
"What's wrong? You don't want to?"
He quickly got off Xu He, knelt on the bed, looked at the stiff figure lying there, and scratched the back of his head.
Xu He's eyes really scared him.
But it's true, they just held hands and then suddenly they had to do all these things. It was a bit hard to accept for a while. But on second thought, wouldn't it be more troublesome for those who just follow their parents' orders and matchmaker's arrangements and only meet on the wedding day?
Did they perform the sexual rituals on their wedding night? Zhang Fangyuan was almost scratching his head. He was too embarrassed to ask about this matter, and there was no guarantee that anyone would tell him even if he asked.
Zhang Fangyuan pulled Xu He's hand in a flattering manner: "I am a little anxious, don't be angry."
Xu He saw that this man seemed to have transformed from a hungry wolf pouncing on its prey into a big dog waiting for food from its owner overnight. He regained some composure, avoided Zhang Fangyuan's gaze, opened his mouth and didn't know what to say: "Don't you blow out the lights before going to bed?"
"Ah...yes..."
Zhang Fangyuan hurriedly got out of bed to blow out the lamp. The room suddenly fell into darkness and became exceptionally quiet.
After Xu He felt the person next to him lie down, he carefully slept next to him and did not pounce on him again, but still reached into the quilt and held his hand.
Slowly, he calmed down: "Did you just...want to hit me?"
Zhang Fangyuan's back stiffened, and he suddenly sat up from the bed: "How could I think like that! I carefully married you!"
Xu He also sat up. In the moonlit night, there was still some dim light in the room. He faced the person in front of him, lowered his head slightly, and said in a low voice: "But you were so scary just now."
Hearing this, Zhang Fangyuan felt guilty and felt his heart being squeezed tightly. "I was drunk and in high spirits. I couldn't help myself. I'm sorry."
Xu He didn't understand what was going on. What could he not help? When you drink, you can't control your temper and want to beat someone up? He was really confused, so he asked out loud.
Zhang Fangyuan suddenly fell silent.
I wondered how I could explain my needs and desires so as not to appear so dirty, but in the end I couldn't resist the words: "Didn't your mother teach you?"
This sounded a bit like an insult, but Xu He was still not angry. He vaguely realized that Liu Xianglan seemed to have not taught him many things before he got married. However, given his position in the Xu family, it was really difficult for Liu Xianglan to fulfill the obligations of a mother.
What's more, they had a falling out when he got married, so he was completely in the dark and he couldn't go back to ask her.
He said honestly: "No."
Zhang Fangyuan gritted his teeth and did not blame Xu He for being ignorant. Instead, he felt sorry for him.
It would be fine if his mother didn't give him any guidance on this matter, but at least let him know that it exists. Ordinary families may not send their children to school to learn to read and write, but pre-marital education is indispensable.
"It's okay, I'll teach you."
Xu He was full of doubts. Zhang Fangyuan suddenly put his arms around his waist and lay down with him in his arms. He leaned in Zhang Fangyuan's arms and could feel the sound of his heart beating in his chest.
Xu He leaned in his arms and asked quietly, "That's it?"
"Uh...of course not."
"Didn't you just say you would teach me?" Xu He has always been eager to learn.
This made Zhang Fangyuan feel a little embarrassed. Originally, the two of them could have completed the task of husband and wife etiquette silently, but he was asked to teach them at the last minute. It was really... He couldn't help but scold Liu Xianglan.
"Well... tomorrow, let's go to bed early today." Let him prepare himself mentally and think carefully about how to start the conversation.
Xu He tilted his head and looked at him: "You are too tired today, are you not feeling well?"
“…”
Wife, you shouldn't say that.
"Then let's try it tonight."
Xu He took a breath, and Zhang Fangyuan turned over, having been sleepless for half the night.
