Chapter 365 Do you want to?
After the old couple discussed it together, they finally realized their serious mistake. They hurriedly picked out a secret book and asked someone to send it to Zong Zhao overnight.
When Zong Zhao took a look at the contents of the booklet, his first reaction was to frown, his second reaction was to burn his hands, and his third reaction was... to throw it away.
After taking a shower, he saw the book under his feet and felt that he had thrown it away too hastily. Xu Wan was still outside, so he picked it up and stuffed it into his own cupboard, waiting to find an opportunity to throw it away another day.
There were two quilts on the big bed, one for each person, Xu Wan was in the inner quilt and Zong Zhao was in the outer quilt.
Seeing him coming out of the small bathroom, Xu Wan called out, "Zong Zhao, do you have anything else to do?"
"No." Zong Zhao replied.
Xu Wan added: "If you don't have any, just turn off the lights and come back."
Zong Zhao: “…Okay.”
They both are light sleepers and don't like to leave the lights on when they sleep, so as soon as they turn off the lights, the room becomes dark immediately.
Xu Wan teased, "Before, you were on the couch, close to the light. Can you see clearly now that you are so far away? Don't stumble. I have shoes next to the bed."
"No, I remember the way," he said.
Zong Zhao came over and sat down beside the bed, then he lifted the quilt and lay down in it.
Xu Wan only felt that her large carved bed had suddenly become much more crowded. It was indeed a completely different feeling to have one more person sleeping on it. Zong Zhao's presence was so strong that she could even smell the same soapberry scent on him as hers, and also a faint... masculine scent.
Even she could feel the difference, so Zong Zhao felt even more sensitive, especially when he accidentally glanced at the yellow booklet just now. The fragrance coming from his wife made his body heat up quickly, and his breathing became a little disordered.
Xu Wan didn't notice anything unusual, she just kept talking to him: "It's more convenient this way, it saves energy to talk, even if I mumble a few words quietly, you can still hear it clearly. Otherwise, it's hard to fall asleep if you keep yelling at me in the middle of the night."
He leaned over and asked the person inside, "Do you like chatting in the evening?"
Xu Wan also turned around and said to him face to face: "Yes, it feels like we are having a private conversation, and it is very relaxing. But I never had a partner before, and I couldn't always let Cuizhi squat by the bed to talk to me, it was quite tiring."
Zong Zhao felt warm inside and out, and he said, "Then I'll chat with you from now on. We can talk as long as you want."
Xu Wan said enthusiastically: "Okay, but chatting is just a lot of nonsense. Just don't mind wasting your time with me."
Zong Zhao said: "No, it's good, it has a touch of fireworks."
Xu Wan smiled: "You are actually quite good at speaking, and you make people happy. Are you popular in the army as well?"
Zong Zhao hummed and said, "There are a few friends who always ask me out after returning to Beijing, but I haven't been able to take care of them yet."
Xu Wan quickly reminded him, "Then go ahead. If you always refuse when someone invites you out, they won't invite you out next time, and your friendship will become more and more distant."
"Would you like to come with me?" Zong Zhao asked, and then quickly added, "Sometimes they bring their families."
Xu Wan replied subconsciously: "Of course you can, just tell me in advance, I will have teaching arrangements, and I will ask the teacher to postpone it."
"Okay, I'll tell you next time." In the dark night, Zong Zhao narrowed his eyes again, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
Xu Wan couldn't see his expression clearly, but she felt the atmosphere was very relaxed. She asked quietly, "Are you smiling now?"
Zong Zhao remained silent.
Because he found that he was getting hotter, and the amount of ice used in the house to cool down in the summer did not decrease, it was his own problem.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Xu Wan asked again: "Why aren't you talking? Are you asleep?" That shouldn't be the case. How could he fall asleep so suddenly?
"No..." He replied softly, but his voice was a little hoarse.
Xu Wan quickly sensed something was wrong. She reached out from under the quilt and touched his face: "Do you have a fever? Why is your body so hot?"
Zong Zhao's body was indeed hot, especially after she touched his face, he felt his whole body getting hotter and hotter.
Xu Wan quickly climbed out of the quilt and started to touch his face randomly, then touched his hands, both of which were warm.
"You seem to have a fever." She lowered her head and touched his forehead with hers. "Your forehead isn't as hot as other parts of your body. That's strange. I'll call the court doctor to take a look at you."
Zong Zhao had been getting more and more nervous when she started touching him randomly. Later, she even bumped her forehead with him like she was raising a child. Zong Zhao felt like his heart was about to jump out of his chest.
Boom boom boom——
Like the sound of a drum.
He grabbed Xu Wan's arm to stop her from climbing out of bed: "Don't call the doctor, I don't have a fever, I'm... I'm... nervous." After he said this, he felt his face getting hotter. Now he was just glad that the lights were off and he couldn't see anything.
"Nervous?" Xu Wan's arm was grabbed by him, and she felt his strong grip and the hard chest under her, all of which reminded her: this is a passionate and strong adult man.
No matter how shy he behaves, he cannot conceal the impulse and excitement emanating from this young body.
Xu Wan quickly got off him and sat on the side of the bed, stuttering, "Are you... so nervous...?"
She knew the differences between the structures of men and women. When it came to sex, men had much stronger impulses than women. So sleeping together, which seemed a little difficult for her to adapt to, was a direct torture for Zong Zhao.
consummation of marriage...
This word popped up in her mind, and Xu Wan began to get nervous. She suddenly realized that she was sending out this kind of invitation signal, so Zong Zhao would...
Zong Zhao got out of bed and said to her, "I'm going to wash my face."
"Oh, okay, okay." Xu Wan responded several times.
She breathed a sigh of relief only after the people left. Her mind went blank and she didn't know what to do next.
Zong Zhao was hesitant while washing his face. He thought about continuing to sleep in separate beds so as not to scare her. But it was she who took the initiative to move back to sleep, and he was reluctant to leave.
Thinking of this, he washed his face several times and used cool water to quickly cool his body.
Before Xu Wan could figure it out, Zong Zhao came back and sat down. He said, "Sorry for disturbing your sleep. I will try my best to adjust."
Xu Wan didn't know what was going on in her mind, and suddenly she said, "You... do you want to consummate your marriage?"
In the dark night, everything is quiet.
Xu Wan's straight ball stunned Zong Zhao.
The two people, one sitting on the edge of the bed and the other sitting inside the bed, could not see each other's appearance clearly, but the content of their conversation was not pure at all.
Zong Zhao pondered over and didn't know how to answer. He wanted to, of course he wanted to, he thought so much that his blood boiled, but... this was not the most important thing.
He asked back, "Do you want to?"
Xu Wan: “…”
He really knows how to ask questions. As a woman, she can't say it even if she wants to. This way of asking is very straight-man-like.
In fact, she thought it was okay. Since she had made up her mind to live a good life with Zong Zhao, she was naturally prepared. She replied, "You can do whatever you want. We are husband and wife."
