Moonlight streamed in through the window. Ye Yun lay on the kang (a heated brick bed), while Lin Shuyue nestled in his arms, gazing at him with adoring eyes.
“I thought…you would eat me,” Lin Shuyue said.
Ye Yun smiled faintly, stroked her cheek, and explained, "I think you're too nervous. You're already that tense just from kissing."
"Well... that's because I haven't done it for half a year, that's why I'm nervous," Lin Shuyue explained.
Ye Yun nodded. "I understand, that's why I don't plan to devour you right away. Good things should be savored slowly. We have plenty of time, a day or two won't make a difference."
Hearing this, Lin Shuyue breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at Ye Yun, saying, "You're right. To be honest, I was a little nervous. Plus, given our special identities, doing that all at once... I was a bit scared."
"Don't be afraid." Ye Yun hugged her and gently stroked her hair, comforting her, "Society is very open now. We are both single, and you are a woman of the Ye family. If anyone dares to talk nonsense, I will smash their mouth."
"No, there's no need to do that. We just need to keep it a secret," Lin Shuyue said.
"Yes, that makes sense."
"Then... is there anything else you want?"
"Others?"
Lin Shuyue tilted her head back, staring straight at him, and said seductively, "I learned it online. Even if we don't do it, we can use our hands or something else."
Ye Yun smiled helplessly, pinched the tip of her nose and teased, "What do you look at online every day?"
"It's nothing, just... learning a bit, I think I might need it." Lin Shuyue nestled shyly in his arms.
"Okay, don't overthink it. Just a few kisses tonight is enough. Take it slow, I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it if we go too fast."
"Tch, you're talking like I'm a child. I'm a married person, after all..." Lin Shuyue muttered.
That's what she said, but she was actually very happy. After all, being conservative, she couldn't be as open-minded as Su Yue. She still preferred the gentler, more gradual development of their romance.
"Sleep well, sweetie." Ye Yun gently stroked her head, as if coaxing his little girlfriend.
Lin Shuyue nestled comfortably in his arms, closed her eyes, and drifted off to sleep.
………………
"Brother Yun, what's making you so happy?"
Early in the morning, Ye Yun and the others arrived at the fields to begin their day's work.
Ye Yun was slightly different from usual; he was in a very good mood today and even had a smile on his face, clearly indicating that something good had happened.
In response to Gou Sheng's curious question, Ye Yun countered, "Do I look happy?"
"Happy? Of course I'm happy. Your happiness is written all over your face."
"Yeah, it's rare to see Brother Yun in such a good mood. Tell us what's good news," Liang Lu asked curiously.
Ye Yun looked up and flicked his forehead. "What are you all talking about? What nonsense are you all spouting? Get back to work. We're making dry noodles with minced meat sauce for lunch."
"Hey, this is good, I love noodles."
"Is it minced meat?" Liang Lu asked.
"It's good enough that you have something to eat, you want meat sauce too? You pay for it!" Ye Yun retorted.
"Ah, hehe, vegetarian meat sauce is pretty good too." Liang Lu smiled awkwardly.
"Tch, all of you better get to work. If I find out anyone's slacking off, they won't get lunch."
"De la!"
After settling the ten people in, Ye Yun went home.
He was actually a little nervous, after all, he and Lin Shuyue had been honest with each other last night. Although they had only kissed, it was still considered that they had officially entered a new relationship.
He always came out quietly when he got up in the morning, afraid of disturbing Lin Shuyue and causing embarrassment.
On the way back, Ye Yun imagined many things in his mind: what would it be like to meet Lin Shuyue, and how would they communicate? Would it be the same as before, or would there be some changes?
When Ye Yun returned home, he saw Lin Shuyue carrying a bowl out of the kitchen as soon as he entered the door. Her complexion was much better than before, and she looked radiant.
"You're back! I've already prepared dinner. Go wash up and eat!" Lin Shuyue said to Ye Yun as always, and then went back to the kitchen.
It seems that nothing has changed.
Ye Yun went to the bathroom, washed his face, and came out to find Lin Shuyue already sitting at the table, greeting him, "Come sit down, dinner's ready."
"Oh!" Ye Yun walked to the table and sat down, looking at the porridge and dishes on the table, and then looked at Lin Shuyue.
"What are you looking at me for? Hurry up and eat!" Lin Shuyue said with a smile.
Ye Yun picked up her chopsticks and started eating. After a few bites, she put them down, looked at Lin Shuyue, and couldn't help but say, "Sister Shuyue, you..."
"What's wrong?" Lin Shuyue looked at him with her beautiful big eyes.
Ye Yun's words were cut off by those eyes, and he shook his head, saying, "It's nothing."
Then he lowered his head and continued eating.
After breakfast, Ye Yun volunteered to wash the dishes. At that moment, Lin Shuyue came to the kitchen door and said, "My third aunt asked me to go and help out. I'll go first."
"Okay, I understand."
After washing the dishes, Ye Yun began preparing lunch for Gou Sheng and the others. She didn't rush to cook; she simply chopped the vegetables, washed them, and set them aside.
After finishing all that, he returned to his room, lay on the bed, picked up his phone, and saw that Su Yue had sent him a message.
After reading the message, Ye Yun replied: Is it convenient to have a video call?
The next second, Su Yue made a video call, and what appeared after the call was a pair of fair and smooth jade feet.
Ye Yun: ? ? ?
"What are you doing?" Ye Yun asked curiously.
"Taking a bath!" The camera switched to show Su Yue's beautiful face as she lay in the bathtub.
"Taking a bath so early in the morning?"
"Of course! I'll soak at least twice tomorrow, once in the morning and once in the evening, and sometimes once at noon. It's most comfortable to be clean!" Su Yue said with a smile.
"Yes, you look so much prettier now that you've been here. It seems I've really been unfair to you, not even letting you take a bath," Ye Yun sighed.
Su Yue chuckled and said, "Didn't he say he was going to install a water heater in your house? Has it been installed yet?"
"Yes, it's already installed. It's much more convenient to take a shower at home now."
"That's fine then. It's just that your bathroom is a bit small, otherwise I would have asked him to install a bathtub for you!"
Ye Yun couldn't help but laugh, "That's not necessary, that's enough. It's the countryside, there's no need for such extravagance."
"But I want you to have a good life, and I'll need it when I visit your home next time."
"Let's forget it. If we make it too good, it'll just attract criticism."
Su Yue sighed. "That's true. By the way, what happened last night? I told you to play games, but why didn't you log on?"
When asked about last night, Ye Yun looked a little embarrassed and said, "Last night... I was with Shuyue."
