Chapter 36 Chapter 36 Want to sleep, enlightenment
Ye Tan didn't say anything, which made Gu Zhao's heart tighten. He was afraid that she would not believe him and think that he was reckless and did not respect her.
Just as he was about to swear again, Ye Tan nodded slightly, leaned back in his chair, and squinted his eyes lazily. "Forget it, I'll believe you just this once."
Ye Tan handed the palm-leaf fan to him. Gu Zhao fanned Ye Tan consciously and saw that Ye Tan was squinting his eyes and seemed to be sleepy.
"Are you sleepy? Do you want to take a nap?"
Ye Tan nodded slowly: "A little bit."
Summer is the season for naps.
Gu Zhao stood up, raised his hand to draw the curtains to block out the sunlight outside, then picked up Princess Ye Tan with both hands, turned around and put her on the bed.
Ye Tan looked up at Gu Zhao in the air, raised her chin and kissed him, then released her hand from around his neck, squinted her eyes and yawned, "Then I'll get some sleep. You can go out and take a walk."
"What's the point of taking a walk by myself? I won't go." Gu Zhao pulled a chair and sat next to her bed. "I'll stay here with you."
Ye Tan didn't want to be watched while sleeping, so he gestured outside: "Then go outside and talk to the elders."
Gu Zhao didn't want to go. He pulled the thin blanket over Ye Tan and patted her. "Go to sleep. I won't disturb you."
"But I can't sleep with you watching me." Who can sleep when someone is staring at them?
Gu Zhao paused, then turned his back to the bed and said, "Then I won't look at you, okay?"
Looking at the man's broad and straight back, there was a sense of tremendous strength that even the white military uniform could not conceal. Ye Tan remembered the feel of his chest muscles in the cinema. As he looked, his eyes moved downwards. He remembered that his waist was also very easy to hug yesterday, and his gluteus maximus felt very good too.
I wonder if a slap will cause the ball to bounce back?
After a while, Gu Zhao's restrained voice came from the front: "If you look at me again, I will be polite."
Ye Tan was stunned and realized that he was so lost in thought that he was staring at Gu Zhao's back. Not only was he lost in thought, he also wanted to try something.
Could it be that she is also a slut by nature?
Gu Zhao couldn't help but look back. Seeing Ye Tan's slightly red face, his gaze paused there. "What are you thinking about?" he suddenly leaned over and asked.
Ye Tan still couldn't accept the fact that she was a lustful villain, and couldn't look Gu Zhao in the eye.
She turned her eyes away and turned away from him. "I didn't think anything."
"Why is your face so red?" He didn't blush when he touched her waist just now, but now she is blushing. Will she believe him if he says he didn't think about her?
Gu Zhao stood up and sat directly on the bed, reaching out to straighten the man, "You must have thought about it, are you embarrassed to say it?"
Ye Tan's eyes flickered, and he wanted to turn back, but unfortunately, Gu Zhao, who was already prepared, held his shoulders and said, "Let go."
"Tell me what you want and let go." Gu Zhao intuitively felt that he could not miss this question.
Ye Tan tilted her head and was silent for a long time. Gu Zhao could only see the side of her face. Just when he thought she was going to get angry, a soft voice floated out: "I want to sleep with you."
Gu Zhao's head spun, and he couldn't help but raise his hand to pick at his ears, thinking that he was too resentful today about not being able to live together, so he was hallucinating at this moment. "What did you say?"
Don't say good things a second time.
Ye Tan gathered the quilt beside him and pushed his way inside. Just as his head had successfully entered, it was pulled out again the next moment.
"What on earth are you going to do?" Ye Tan fluttered his feet in dissatisfaction, his tone filled with anger and shame.
Gu Zhao held her face, and his upper body almost covered Ye Tan completely. The distance between their chests was less than a finger, a distance that Gu Zhao could touch if he just breathed a sigh of relief.
So Ye Tan felt the danger very clearly.
Suddenly I felt a little regretful about what I just said.
"I heard it."
Ye Tan: “…” You heard it, why are you asking?
"You said you wanted to sleep with me."
Ye Tan: “…”
"You want to sleep with me."
Ye Tan: ...There's no need to whip the corpse repeatedly.
"Wife."
Ye Tan...
"Wife..."
Ye Tan: "...if you have to fart, please do it. I'm sleepy."
Gu Zhao's low, deep laugh overflowed, making people's ears itch and their heartbeats uncontrollably. The voice was like a hook, and Ye Tan was hooked and couldn't help but turn back to look at him.
Gu Zhao's deep gaze suddenly pressed down, and Ye Tan felt a kiss on the tip of his nose. The man's eyes were surprisingly bright.
"I want to sleep with you, too. Right now."
Ye Tan's body trembled. It was over. He had gone too far.
"Gu Zhao, calm down."
It was broad daylight and there was a group of people outside. If the two of them really did something, it would be a public execution.
Seeing Gu Zhao climb onto the bed, Ye Tan was so scared that he wanted to wrap himself with the quilt.
Gu Zhao patted the pillow and said, "Come here."
Ye Tan shook his head, "Tomorrow, tomorrow we will live together, not today."
Seeing that she was about to shrink to the corner of the bed, Gu Zhao stretched out his arms, hooked her over and held her in his arms.
Ye Tan almost screamed, thinking that she was going to push her limit today. She usually liked to flirt a little, but she was not ready for real action.
As a result, Gu Zhao bit her and kissed her fiercely, stopping only at her chest. He kept doing this over and over again, not daring to go any further.
Gu Zhao rested his forehead on her shoulder and breathed, his voice hoarse and filled with restraint, "I'll let you go today, but tomorrow I will..."
Ye Tan lay obediently in Gu Zhao's arms, breathing heavily, not daring to make any unnecessary movements, for fear that the unsatisfied man would become aroused and kill her on the spot.
But she began to worry about herself tomorrow. During the kiss, her waist was almost broken by Gu Zhao's grip. What would happen tomorrow?
When the people outside were chatting, Xu Huiling noticed that there was no movement in her daughter's room for a long time. She was a little worried that the two young people were not tactful, but then she thought that since they were both married, it didn't matter if they did something.
But the guests were all outside, and Jinguihua had looked over there several times, intentionally or unintentionally, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
Finally, after some consideration, Xu Huiling went over and knocked on the door, "Xiao Tan, Xiao Tan?" There was no response.
Jin Guihua covered her mouth and laughed, her face full of meaning, "Young people, let's not bother them. Anyway, we've already got the marriage certificate, so even if it's... that's nothing, isn't it what my mother-in-law said?"
What the words mean is what the two of them did in there.
Lin Qiuyun didn't think so. She still believed in her son's self-control, let alone doing anything out of line in front of relatives and friends.
So I said, "Since you didn't respond, did you fall asleep? I remember Xiao Zhao said Xiao Tan has a habit of taking a nap."
Xu Huiling nodded: "Yes, Xiao Tan takes a nap after lunch every day, otherwise she will feel tired in the afternoon.
Zhao Xiumei smiled and pretended not to understand what Jinguihua said, "Then it seems that the two children are asleep."
Xu Huiling also thought that he should be asleep.
Although his daughter is young, she is not a casual person. Gu Zhao is a steady and polite person, so he will not lose his composure. Although they have a marriage certificate, Ye Tan has not officially entered the Gu family after all.
For the older generation, form is more important than a marriage certificate.
Xu Huiling pushed the door with what she thought was a sense of trust. Sure enough, the door was not locked. She breathed a sigh of relief, opened it a crack and took a peek inside. She found two people lying on the bed.
Jinguihua peeked from behind, but the crack in the door was too small to see clearly. "What are you doing?"
Xu Huiling: "Falling asleep."
Jin Guihua was a little unconvinced, "Really? Let me see." As she said that, she wanted to push Xu Huiling aside and stand in front.
Xu Huiling didn't let him. She closed the door and turned to say to everyone, "The two children are asleep. Let's not go in and disturb them. We've been busy these past two days and we're exhausted."
Lin Qiuyun followed up, "Let's keep our voices down. Hey, Xiumei, what happened to that cousin you just mentioned?"
Zhao Xiumei spread her hands. "What else can I do? If I knew I had made a mistake, I should have called off the engagement immediately to cut my losses. Fortunately, we haven't officially decided yet, so there's still time."
Xu Huiling feels deeply about this. "So when choosing a son-in-law, you must open your eyes and look carefully. Otherwise, it will be too late to regret after your daughter suffers after the marriage."
Zhao Xiumei: "Isn't it? Hey, do you have any suitable young men? Please introduce them to my niece. She's already 21 years old, and her family is a little worried."
Xu Huiling actually has unmarried young men under her. Just because he's not suitable for her daughter doesn't mean he's not suitable for other girls, so she asked, "What's your name? Why aren't you married at 21?"
"Also surnamed Zhao, Zhao Xiaoya. My cousin passed away early. She lived under the care of her stepmother. You don't know how bad her stepmother was. Her father wasn't a good person either. After her biological mother passed away, she no longer treated her daughter as a human being..."
Everyone listened to Zhao Xiumei's gossip about her cousin's niece being deliberately mistreated by her stepmother and her marriage being delayed.
Jin Guihua didn't bother to find out whether Ye Tan and Gu Zhao were just sleeping in the room. She listened with great interest while eating melon seeds.
While Erfeng was listening to the adults' gossip, she was thinking about every little detail of her time with Li Congjun, the gentle look in his eyes as he looked at her, and every sweet word he said to her that touched her heart.
Erfeng thought of the Prince Charming described in the book, and Li Congjun was her Prince Charming.
Even the Prince Charming seemed unable to forget Ye Tan.
Erfeng is not blind. Li Congjun came all the way here, so he couldn't be just passing by. He must have come to see Ye Tan specifically. Even if he said he had given up, he must still be unable to let go.
Erfeng hummed in her heart, but it didn't matter. Today, she would be able to see Ye Tan for the last time to put her mind off of Ye Tan.
So how do we trick Ye Tan out of the house?
Ye Tan seems to like going out for a walk after dinner, so why not take her for a walk by the river?
In the afternoon, Xu Huiling sent Lin Qiuyun and others away. Gu Zhao, the driver, couldn't stay either, so he said goodbye to Ye Tan and drove home.
There is a wedding tomorrow and there are still many things to prepare at home, so he didn't drag Ye Tan along for a long time today. Moreover, he got a lot of benefits in the afternoon, so he left quite easily.
Xu Huiling also felt a sense of urgency. After dinner, she asked Ye Jianguo to boil hot water for washing, and she went to Ye Tan's room to find the wedding dress she would wear tomorrow.
The bright red color could only be worn secretly in the past few years, but it has not been so strictly controlled in the past two years. Especially since marriage is the most important moment in a person's life, no one will say anything if you dress a little more outstandingly on this day.
Nowadays, young people are not as afraid to wear red when getting married as they were in the past.
Xu Huiling found the iron at home and ironed the clothes until they were flat, making sure her daughter would wear them beautifully for her wedding tomorrow.
Ye Tan also planned to go to bed early today. After dinner, he just planned to take a walk around the door to digest the food. Unexpectedly, when he turned around, he saw a chubby figure walking towards him.
Looking at it in the moonlight, the little curly hair fluttering in the wind was Erfeng.
Erfeng came over with a smile and said hello: "Xiao Tan, taking a walk?"
Ye Tan looked surprised: "My cousin is taking a walk too?" He raised his head to see the tail of the sun, which had not yet set in the east.
The biggest common problem of all fat people in the world is that they eat a lot but don't move. This cousin is the worst of them, otherwise she wouldn't be able to weigh over 180 pounds.
"It's not so hot tonight, so I want to go out for a walk." She looked at Ye Tan, "Why don't we go for a walk together?"
"There's a small forest not far from the river. I saw fireflies there a few days ago. I'll take you to see them."
Ye Tan didn't agree, and asked with a puzzled expression: "We have fireflies here? I didn't know that."
The key point is why is Erfeng so nice today? If I remember correctly, he was scolded by me this morning, and he was not in a good mood with me afterwards. Given her personality, she should be particularly angry when she sees her.
How could he take a walk to her doorstep and kindly take her to see fireflies?
Ye Tan couldn't understand it for a moment.
However, her principle in dealing with things is that if she has doubts, she will not go. Besides, the incident in which the supply and marketing cooperative was almost pushed into the water tank has not yet come to a conclusion. She doesn't know if it was Erfeng who did it. Once a person has the intention to harm others, there will be a second time. She cannot take it lightly.
Ye Tan waved his hand: "My cousin also knows that I am getting married tomorrow. I will not accompany you today if I want to go to bed early."
Er Feng saw Ye Tan was about to go home, and she was anxious and pulled her back, patting her chest to assure her: "It's true, I've seen it. If you don't believe me, let's go and see it together. Let's go over there now. It will be dark when we get there, which is the time when fireflies come out."
Her anxious and flustered attitude made Ye Tan feel even more uneasy, and he was even less likely to go.
Ye Tan shook off Er Feng's hand and said, "Cousin, why are you so anxious? It's just a firefly. It's still growing in the summer. It won't disappear tomorrow if you don't look at it today."
She wouldn't jump into it if she knew there was a trap.
Erfeng was about to pull her away, but Ye Tan turned away, speaking in a cold tone, looking at Erfeng with suspicion, "Cousin, you are so anxious and flustered, are you really taking me to see fireflies? Are you going to do something?"
Erfeng's expression froze. She realized that her overly eager attitude had aroused Ye Tan's suspicion, and she immediately said with a smile: "Xiao Tan, what are you talking about? I am your cousin, and you are getting married tomorrow. Today I just want you to walk and talk with me. I am afraid that we will not have the chance again in the future, so you keep making excuses." As she spoke, her tone became firm.
Originally, she hadn't said anything. She just wanted her to go for a walk together and see the fireflies. Thinking of this, her guilty expression was replaced by grievance: "Don't take my kindness for granted."
Ye Tan rolled his eyes and didn't bother to pay attention to him.
"That's good. It's getting late. I'm going back to bed."
Er Feng had just been suspected, and now she no longer dared to pull Ye Tan. She just chased after him and said, "Fireflies are really beautiful. Why don't you watch them?"
Seeing how persistent she was, Ye Tan couldn't bear to refuse. At the same time, he also wanted to know what Erfeng was trying to do.
She rolled her eyes and said, "I'm getting married tomorrow, so today is really inconvenient. Why don't we wait until tomorrow? How about I go with you to see it tomorrow night?"
When the time comes, let Gu Zhaozhu stay behind as a bodyguard.
Erfeng hesitated. She had already promised Brother Li, and now Brother Li was waiting there, but no matter what she said, Ye Tan just refused to go.
Erfeng hesitated and couldn't make up her mind.
Ye Tan stood at the door and watched Erfeng thinking, while carefully observing her facial expression.
Er Feng's mind was not pure, but she was not scheming, and she could not hide her expression. Ye Tan watched the hesitation and worry on her face change repeatedly, and finally, he deliberately put on a smile and said helplessly: "Okay, then I will come to see you tomorrow night... By the way, you are getting married tomorrow, do I have to go to the Gu family across the river to find you?"
Ye Tan raised his eyebrows: "Yes, tomorrow I will go to live in Gu's house across the river. It's a bit far."
Erfeng: "Okay, I'll come to see you after dinner tomorrow." Her tone was quick as if she was afraid that Ye Tan would regret it the next moment.
And after he finished speaking, he left at a very fast pace, not giving Ye Tan a chance to regret.
Ye Tan stood at the door and shook his head, his foolish thoughts obvious.
The distance from Erfeng's home to Gu Zhao's home across the river is not just a few minutes' walk from her home, it is several times longer.
He came all this way just to ask her to see fireflies. Should I say that her cousin is too naive or that she is stupid?
Erfeng is too stupid. Ye Tan doesn't take her seriously at all. Tomorrow, Gu Zhao will escort her. Even if there is any danger, Gu Zhao should be able to carry her away.
So as soon as Ye Tan got home, he put Erfeng's matter behind him and came to watch Ms. Xu ironing clothes.
Ye Tan remembered that she had never tried on this wedding dress.
Xu Huiling took a look at her daughter and immediately picked up the shirt. "Then try it on now."
Ye Tan put it on and wore it directly over the dress. Summer clothes were light and thin and didn't take up much space.
Ye Tan turned around and showed it to Xu Huiling, "It's okay."
Xu Huiling nodded in satisfaction and praised: "You have good taste. This dress is especially suitable for you. My daughter will definitely be the most beautiful bride tomorrow."
Ye Tan chuckled: "Even if I was wearing a sack, you would still think I looked good."
Xu Huiling's face was filled with pride. "Of course, my daughter is so pretty. She looks beautiful even in a sack."
"Mom, you're just bragging."
Xu Huiling: "I, your mother, never brag about myself." I only brag about my daughter.
"Go to bed early tonight and don't stay up late, otherwise you will look bad when you wake up tomorrow." Xu Huiling advised.
Ye Tan didn't want to wake up tomorrow with a sleepy face, so she changed her clothes and went to wash up and go to bed. When she came back, she found Ms. Xu sitting on the bed waiting for her.
She was getting married not until tomorrow, so it was natural for her mother to want to have a few heartfelt words with her daughter. Ye Tan went over and sat down beside her, holding her arm, "Mom, do you have anything to say to me?"
Xu Huiling turned around and got on the bed, patting her inside and saying, "Mom will sleep with you tonight."
Ye Tan thought of the warmth in Xu Huiling's arms and lay down on the bed without thinking much.
Xu Huiling covered her daughter with a blanket and asked, "Are you nervous about getting married tomorrow?"
Ye Tan thought about it, trying to find some nervousness, but after searching his heart and mind, he found that he was not nervous at all. Instead, he was a little worried, afraid that Gu Zhao would break his waist tomorrow night.
Of course, he couldn't tell his mother about this. Ye Tan shook his head and said, "I'm not nervous."
Xu Huiling was obviously a little surprised, and then she thought about this afternoon and asked hesitantly: "You and Xiao Gu didn't do anything this afternoon, right?"
Ye Tan knew exactly what Xu Huiling was asking, and replied, "What can we do? We were just a little sleepy, so we took a nap."
Seeing that her daughter spoke naturally without any shyness, Xu Huiling felt relieved but also a little worried.
Is my daughter a little slow in this regard? She's about to get married and she's not shy at all.
Then he thought again, their daughter used to go to school every day, and he and his wife took good care of her. They taught her not to get close to or have physical contact with boys since she was a child, so when she grew up and met the sweet-talking Li Congjun, she was deceived and he only touched her little hand a few times despite his best efforts.
If the daughter doesn't understand, she, as her mother, has to teach her.
Xu Huiling was actually embarrassed to say these words, but she was also very afraid that her daughter would not understand at all, and would be caught off guard and frightened and make a fool of herself.
After thinking about it for a while, I felt that I should teach what I should teach.
Xu Huiling whispered something to Ye Tan, and Ye Tan's expression was -
Puzzle - surprise - sudden realization - and finally enlightenment.
In the end, all I could hear was this: "Every woman has to go through this, just bear with it and it will pass."
Ye Tan, fortunately I understood it perfectly, otherwise I would not have understood this obscure enlightenment education.
Ye Tan: "Mom, I understand."
Xu Huiling: "Do you really understand?"
Ye Tan nodded.
Xu Huiling breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved.
All things are difficult at the beginning, and Xu Huiling is no longer as embarrassed as she was at the beginning.
She grabbed Ye Tan and continued to whisper in her ear, so the next thing Ye Tan heard was—
"You can't just keep giving in. Cry when you need to. A man will only be gentle to you when he's hurt."
"Xiao Gu is in good health. You will definitely suffer a little now, but in the long run, you will enjoy happiness."
Ye Tan: “…”
What kind of vicious talk is this?
After saying this, Xu Huiling felt a little embarrassed.
He turned around and pulled the quilt, "Let's go to sleep."
While sleeping peacefully here, Erfeng hesitated for a while and finally walked to the meeting place agreed upon with Li Congjun in the dark.
In fact, it was the small thatched hut next to the grove that she and Ye Tan had mentioned.
This place is a certain distance away from the river and few people come here usually. It was a secret place that Li Congjun accidentally discovered when he was having a secret meeting with someone before. No one knew who left it here, but it actually provided him with a lot of convenience later on.
