Chapter 438: Experiencing Weightlessness
Zong Zhao didn't come out for a long time. Xu Wan sat on the bed and read the new storybook. This was a new storybook that Zong Zhao had sent over. He said the story was very sweet. Sure enough, she started to giggle after reading it for a while.
Although reading in bed is not very proper, but with your back against the headboard and half-lying in the quilt, it makes you feel comfortable on this still cold winter day.
When Zong Zhao came out, he saw Xu Wan smiling with her eyes crooked. He was moved and walked over to ask, "Is the new novel good?"
Xu Wan's heart almost melted by the sweetness. She smiled and replied, "It's beautiful, beautiful. This author is so good at describing. Just a slight touch of the finger is so touching. It's sweet and cute."
Zong Zhao looked at the storybook and was quite satisfied: "Tomorrow I will buy you all the other stories by this author. For an author who is so good at writing, his other stories should be good too."
"That makes sense." Xu Wan wanted to continue reading the storybook, but a pair of big hands suddenly stretched out and blocked the contents of the book.
She looked up and asked doubtfully, "Do you want to see it too?"
Zong Zhao looked at her and said, "I don't want to see it."
His eyes were burning.
Apart from her, no one and nothing could be seen.
Xu Wan suddenly remembered that they still had important things to do tonight, and immediately blinked to show that she understood.
The sweet story that was being praised just a second ago.
The next second, Xu Wan threw him into the corner of the bed.
Zong Zhao raised the corner of his mouth slightly and leaned over to kiss her. His kisses were detailed and dense, from lips to neck, and Xu Wanhun's body softened. She closed her eyes, wrapped her arms around his neck, and felt him burrowing into the quilt.
There were two heaters in the room, and the quilt was large and warm. The temperature rose quickly, and the clothes were soon gone. Xu Wan opened her eyes in a daze, and saw Zong Zhao lying on top of her, kissing her until her whole body was numb.
She grabbed the bed sheet nervously: "Zong Zhao, you..."
"I'm here..." Zong Zhao raised his head, looking at her with deep eyes, and gave her another soothing kiss. He kept soothing her in her ears, "Don't be afraid... Don't be afraid, I will."
He swallowed all the tension into his stomach, leaving only the humming under the kiss.
Outside the window, the wind was blowing hard, getting stronger and stronger.
At first it was just a gentle breeze, but after it tasted its sweetness, the wind blew harder and harder. The evergreen branches in the yard were pressed down again and again. They always wanted to resist, but they were still held back by the strong wind and bullied over and over again.
Inside the house, the stove was so hot that people were sweating profusely.
Xu Wan was so tired that she didn't want to move a finger. Her eyes were moist and her watery eyes sparkled like stars, filled with confusion and helplessness.
Zong Zhao kissed her eyes and said in a hoarse voice: "I'll carry you to wash."
Xu Wan reached out for a hug, but her arms were limp.
The small bathroom was already equipped with hot water. Cuizhi was not at home, and Cuiliu worked silently. She did not even have to enter their bedroom. She would just finish her work and leave.
Xu Wan didn't see anyone, so she finally realized what was happening and asked, "Did you leave Cuizhi in the Shangshu Mansion on purpose?"
Cuizhi had the best relationship with her and was always willing to joke with her. She always told her about the water-making thing. Xu Wan actually felt ashamed every time she heard it, but was too embarrassed to tell Cuizhi directly.
But Zong Zhao seemed to have discovered it.
How come he has such strong observation skills?
Zong Zhao carried her over. Perhaps because he was in a good mood, the corners of his mouth curled up even more: "Don't you dislike Cuizhi bothering you? Let her be busy with other things for a few days, and then come back to accompany you."
Xu Wan looked as if she knew it was true, and secretly praised the general: "Really smart."
She was put into the bathtub, and as soon as her tired body touched the hot water, every pore opened up with comfort.
Zong Zhao lay down beside the bathtub, bent over and said to her, "I want a reward."
Zong Zhao now asked for it very fluently, without any hesitation or shyness after he finished speaking.
"Ah? What reward?"
Before Xu Wan could react, the water level in the bathtub rose rapidly, covering her chest.
…
She was pressed against the edge of the tub and felt weightless.
A dreamless night.
Xu Wan felt that she slept very deeply this time, but she slept very well and the sleep quality was good.
The curtains on the bed were drawn, but even so, she could still feel how bright the sun was outside. She must have slept until noon again. However, she had someone to keep her company yesterday, but today she was alone.
Xu Wan immediately sat up and asked, "Cui Liu, what time is it now?"
Cuiliu came in from outside, helped her open the curtain and said, "Madam, it's noon. Are you hungry? I'll ask someone to serve you some food."
"Oh, okay. What about the general?" Xu Wan asked.
Cui Liu said, "The general went to the library. He said he was going to pick out some good novels for his wife. He should be back soon."
"Okay." Xu Wan couldn't help but smile. She was a little bit blaming him for giving up the idea of sleeping in, but all the anger disappeared in an instant.
Cui Liu brought the clothes to her.
When Xu Wan was changing clothes, she saw the marks all over her body and her cheeks couldn't help but turn red, but fortunately the person serving her was not Cuizhi, otherwise she would be too embarrassed to see anyone.
"I'll hold you." Cui Liu said.
Xu Wanruo said in surprise, "No, no, I can walk by myself, don't make me look like I'm disabled."
Cuiliu did not insist, but she did not retreat far.
Xu Wan put on her shoes and got out of bed. When she stood up, her legs were so numb that she couldn't move. She almost fell down.
Fortunately, Cui Liu didn't retreat too far, and she pulled her back to prevent her from falling, explaining, "Don't worry, Madam. It's easy for women to lose strength the first time, and it will be fine in a day."
Xu Wan: “…”

You really understand.
But when she thought about it, Cuizhi and Cuiliu were five or six years older than her, got married early, and had experience in women's affairs.
Cui Liu said confidently, "Madam, please sit by the bed. I can help you wash and brush your teeth. The small dining table can also be moved here. You can just read the storybook on the bed after dinner. I will do everything else for you."
Xu Wan was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes: "Cui Liu, you are so thoughtful."
Even if you don't talk much, you can still be very considerate.
She had never realized Cui Liu was so considerate before.
Cui Liu, who was paid three times the salary, said: She could be even more considerate!
Cui Liu went out to busy herself, and Xu Wan went back to sit on the bed. But when she turned around, she remembered what happened last night, and the blood spread from her neck to her ears.
The marriage was consummated.
They actually consummated their marriage.
...It’s with Zong Zhao.
The one whose heart and eyes are filled with her.
When Xu Wan thought of that name, that face, and the way he spoke in a hoarse voice, her heart began to beat wildly.
So happy.
So happy.
So this is the feeling of being with someone you love, as sweet as eating honey.
Cui Liu came in with water to help her wash up. Seeing Xu Wan so happy, she rarely spoke a compliment: "Congratulations, madam. I wish you and the general will have a son soon."
Xu Wan wiped her face and said with a smile, "Thank you."
But just as she finished speaking, she suddenly remembered something.
If she got pregnant now, she would definitely experience multiple problems such as morning sickness, dizziness, and inability to concentrate, but Cheng Cheng and his family still had two months before the joint examination and three months before the palace examination.
