Chapter 433 He Lost Insomnia

Suddenly there was no response, and Zong Zhao realized that she had fallen asleep.

By this point, her eyes had begun to turn a little blue, and their clothes were in a mess, with hers being in a particularly bad state... He had pulled her nightgown up to her chest, revealing one side of her snow-white shoulder, which was covered in kiss marks left by him.

Zong Zhao pulled his hand away from her back, pulled her pajamas up, covered her with the quilt, and gently brushed the messy hair away from her face.

Looking at Xu Wan's sleeping face, Zong Zhao resisted the urge to kiss her again, got out of bed and turned off all the lights in the room.

In the silent night.

He could hear his own rapid heartbeat and slightly heavy breathing, and it took him a long time to calm down.

Just now she said that she liked him...

She said why she liked him so much...

The corners of Zong Zhao's lips curled up slightly. He forced himself to suppress his impulse, and looked at the girl sleeping on the bed with a smile. His heart was sweet and full.

…

Ugly, he was still awake.

He was thinking: When did she start liking me? Was it recently or a few months ago? What did she like about me? Was it my appearance, my martial arts, or my personality? How much did she like me? Was it different from her love for Jin Cheng and the others? Would she always like me?

…

At the hour of Yin, he became even more excited.

He was thinking: When they were kissing just now, she was also pulling his clothes. Did she want to consummate the marriage? Was she the kind of person who wanted to consummate the marriage because she liked him? Then when would they consummate the marriage? Tomorrow? Tomorrow didn't seem to be a good time. The first few days of the year were very busy and she was too tired. What about after the first month of the year? That wouldn't work either. By then, Jincheng and the others would have to prepare for the examination and she would definitely not be able to take care of them.

…

At the hour of Mao, he was still very energetic.

He was thinking: In the future, they will have their own child, and that child may look like her, or like him, or even like both of them. If it is a boy, he must learn martial arts first, otherwise he will just hide behind her when something happens and won't be able to protect her.

…

At noon, he felt a little sleepy.

He was thinking: When the child grows up, he will take her out to travel and enjoy the mountains and rivers, and not live in this restricted capital city all the time, where it is hard to find green mountains and clear water. Lucheng is not bad, and since Suxi can be lived in for a few decades, the environment must be good and comfortable. He will build a thatched hut there, but thatched huts don't seem to be very good, and they leak easily. If he changes it to a bamboo hut, it will be a bit cold in winter...

…

Xu Wan slept until almost noon, when the sun shone into the room. She was confused for a few seconds and suddenly remembered that today was the first day of the Lunar New Year. She was so scared that she sat up directly from the bed.

"Cui..." She was just about to ask Cuizhi what time it was, but then she saw Zong Zhao still lying beside her. He had just woken up, but it seemed like he was woken up by her.

Xu Wan was stunned. With a sleepy companion, she suddenly felt less nervous and was in the mood to tease, "What's going on, General Zong? You woke up later than me. Look outside, it's almost noon. Jin Cheng and the others must have come to pay New Year's greetings early in the morning, and then were stopped outside... It's over, the whole mansion knows about it."

Zong Zhao pressed his forehead and chuckled, "I know, so what." He stood up and started to put on his clothes, then handed her clothes to him.

Xu Wan was defeated by him. She agreed, "You are right. No one dares to say anything about our family anyway. It's all thanks to the general's high position and power." But she quickly reacted, "But we still have to go to wish our parents-in-law a happy new year!"

Xu Wan suddenly became anxious. She quickly washed and combed her hair, then pulled Zong Zhao straight to the old lady's yard.

Zong Zhao chuckled and said, "Don't worry, we can go after dinner."

Xu Wan glared at him and scolded him lightly, "What success? It's already afternoon after dinner at this time. Who goes to pay New Year's greetings in the afternoon on New Year's Day?"

"What if they're having lunch?"

Xu Wan: “…”

You'd better not actually say it.

When the couple arrived, the old lady had just prepared the dishes in the courtyard. She greeted them warmly, "Are you awake? You must have run so fast. Have you eaten yet? Come and eat together."

Xu Wan stroked her forehead with one hand, tilted her head and whispered, "Luckily I dragged you here, if I was a little slower they would have really started eating."

Zong Zhao suppressed his laughter and whispered back, "Dad can hear you."

Xu Wan looked up and saw the old marquis smiling at her.

Xu Wan: “…”

I hate you martial arts masters with good hearing!

"Happy New Year, father-in-law and mother-in-law. I wish you good health and all the best in the new year."

"Okay, okay," the old lady said with a smile, "Then I also wish you and your spouse harmony and everything goes well."

"Thank you, mother-in-law." Xu Wan pulled Zong Zhao to sit down.

There were not many dishes on the small round table, so the old lady asked someone to add two more plates of dumplings. Zong Zhao saw that one of her favorite dishes was far away, so he picked up several of them with his chopsticks and brought them over to her.

The old lady and the old marquis laughed secretly while eating, and only laughed out loud after they finished their meal and left: "Master, do you think their relationship is getting better and better?"

The old man stroked his beard and smiled, "Yes, Zhao'er has indeed changed a lot since he came back. We have never seen him be so proactive towards anyone before. He has never even picked up food for me."

The old lady snorted and said, "When that scoundrel from the Duke of Jin's mansion was flirting with Wan'er, I said he was not even as good as one of Zhao'er's fingers. Now look how happy Wan'er is. They are a match made in heaven."

The old marquis rolled his eyes and said in disgust: "It's New Year's Day, why are you talking about that unlucky thing? I can't help but want to beat him up again."

"Hahaha……"

After Xu Wan and her companion left the courtyard, they went to the large study room. As expected, when they arrived there, they saw the teacher and ten students sitting completely together.

Xu Wan walked in and greeted them with a smile: "Happy New Year, everyone."

"Happy New Year!" The greetings rang out in unison, which was quite impressive.

When Zong Jincheng saw her coming, he immediately put down the book in his hand and ran over, boasting excitedly: "Mom, I'm one year older. I'm eleven years old this year. Isn't it awesome!"

Xu Wan couldn't hold back her laughter and teased, "How amazing! He's the youngest among the five of you. The three of them are already twelve years old, and your brother is already thirteen."

Zong Jincheng snorted and said, "I won't compete with them. I'll compete with myself. In another four years, I'll reach the minimum marriage age in our Great Chu and become a grown man!"

Xu Wan: “…”

She really couldn't imagine that this boy would be able to get married in four years.

Time flies.

Three years ago, Jin Cheng was only eight years old. Even when he jumped up, he could only reach her chest. He was a small ball. Although he exploded like a cannon every day, she could easily pin him down.

But three years later, his height had reached her chin, and in two years he would be taller than her... Oh no, he was experiencing puberty and was developing very quickly, so he might even be taller.

Xu Wan thought secretly: If this boy still wants to fight with her now, she may not be his opponent.
