The servants guarding the door heard whispering inside, but they couldn't make out what the two masters were saying, so no one disturbed them.
Jiang Xuelin and Fu Hanlai were both embarrassed. They encouraged themselves, saying that since the glass lamp was too bright, they should turn it off.
So here's the question.
Who will go down and extinguish the glass lamp?
Jiang Xuelin, who was only wearing her undergarments, looked at Fu Hanlai.
Fu Hanlai was holding his own blanket in his arms, also looking at Jiang Xuelin.
Finally, Jiang Xuelin scoffed and extended her right hand.
Fu Hanlai, who was holding the blanket, snorted coldly and also stretched out his right hand.
The two right hands swung around a few times, and finally came out simultaneously—
“I won. Go down and extinguish the glass lamp.”
Jiang Xuelin looked at her scissor-hand gesture, then at Fu Hanlai's cloth and his grief-stricken expression, and said with a hint of smugness.
Fu Hanlai felt very insecure, and both of them were maintaining a calm "I won't move unless the enemy moves" attitude, as if whoever made the first move would be at a disadvantage. That's why neither of them was willing to go down and turn off the lights.
"...I shouldn't have played rock-paper-scissors with you."
Fu Hanlai muttered something in frustration, but after thinking for a moment, he still didn't put the blanket down. Instead, he got out of bed with the blanket in his arms, walked to the window, and turned off the flickering glass lamp.
He shouldn't have agreed to let Jiang Xuelin decide the winner with rock-paper-scissors. He's hardly ever won in all this time, so he should have used other methods.
But he wasn't the kind of person who couldn't accept defeat. He didn't refuse at first, and when the results came out, even if he lost, he would accept it. He just knew he definitely wouldn't play rock-paper-scissors with Jiang Xuelin again next time.
As soon as the glass lamp went out, the whole room instantly darkened. The thin bed curtains were very transparent, and Fu Hanlai could still see the shadowy figure on the bed. He hesitated for a moment, cheered himself up in his heart, and then slowly moved back to the bedside.
"……hurry up."
"...It's so dark, what if I fall? Of course I have to walk slowly." Fu Hanlai couldn't admit that he was being a coward. Jiang Xuelin, a girl, hadn't backed down, so how could he, a grown man, back down? He stubbornly made excuses for himself.
Jiang Xuelin on the bed was only trying to find a topic because the atmosphere was too awkward and suffocating. When she saw that Fu Han had given her an excuse, she immediately stopped talking.
Even though Fu Han arrived very slowly, the distance between the window and Jiang Xuelin's Thousand-Work Bed was still not far. Despite his slow and dawdling pace, he still managed to reach the bedside.
Jiang Xuelin lay down, not daring to move, after hearing her mother's words. Fu Hanlai... Fu Hanlai sat on the quilt, not knowing what to do, and was too afraid to move.
"..."
"..."
After an unknown amount of time, Fu Hanlai swallowed hard and finally spoke, "...Well, how about we take another look at that booklet?"
Seemingly afraid that Jiang Xuelin would refuse, Fu Han quickly added an explanation after he finished speaking, "After all, this young master is a virgin."
"...Well, see. Now go down and light the lamps."
"OK."
Fu Hanlai cooperated immediately, rolling off the bed to light the lamp. Jiang Xuelin also sat up, and after the glass lamp regained its light, she reached out and pulled open the hidden compartment of the Thousand-Work Bed, taking out the booklet from inside.
This time, Fu Hanlai brought the glass lamp directly to the bed and placed it next to him. The two of them then carefully flipped through the book that made people blush and their hearts race.
Fu Hanlai actually had a question in his mind. He wanted to ask why Jiang Xuelin suddenly wanted to consummate their marriage, but at this moment, he... dared not ask.
The booklet was quickly flipped through.
Fu Hanlai stared at the booklet, then looked at Jiang Xuelin, "...Have you learned it?"
"...Got it? It's pretty simple. How about you? Have you learned it yet?"
Jiang Xuelin shifted her gaze to the glass lamp and slowly asked in return.
Upon hearing this, Fu Hanlai straightened his back and said, "Of course, such a simple thing is something I can learn at a glance."
"……oh."
"Shall we begin?"
"Alright, shall we begin?"
Their gazes simultaneously shifted to the glass lamp.
It's still a bit too bright, haha!
Jiang Xuelin leaned forward and extinguished the glass lamp.
Having come this far, there was no time to delay any longer. Fu Hanlai felt his hands trembling as he reached out to Jiang Xuelin, his voice trembling, "I...I'm coming!"
"..."
Jiang Xuelin restrained herself, thus preventing herself from instinctively kicking the person away when the trembling hand reached out.
In fact, wealthy families would arrange for concubines for their young masters well in advance. Even when a princess was to marry, they would arrange for someone to go to the prince consort's house to "test the marriage" beforehand. This was partly to teach the young master about manners and partly to prevent him from harming the bride when he married in the future.
However, Fu Hanlai's situation was special. Before the marriage, the Prince Ping's mansion was worried that he would harm his health by taking too much sex too early, so they never arranged a maid for him. The Marquis Jing'an's mansion was even less likely to arrange a trial marriage maid for their son-in-law.
In short, the two of them really figured it out slowly.
Even if there is something taught in that booklet, what you learn from books is never enough, and theoretical discussions are never reliable.
The two often fought and bumped into each other frequently, but things were different back then than they are now.
How could that kind of touch be the same as this kind of touch?
Just as that hand was about to touch Jiang Xuelin, the two of them moved back at the same time.
