Chapter 67
After Chen Jingbai's parents went to the Cheng family to propose marriage, He He's family was quite satisfied with Chen Jingbai, and the two families decided to set the wedding date for the Qixi Festival.
Chen Jingbai bought an apartment, which was only one kilometer away from He He's first bookstore. It was renovated before the wedding and ready for immediate occupancy.
Over the years, Rongcheng has seen the emergence of many commercial housing projects built in cooperation with foreign capital, which can be bought and sold. The one that Chen Jingbai bought was one that he helped design.
The wedding car picked He He up from the Cheng family home and took her to their new bridal chamber. When He He left the Cheng family home, her relatives, who were reluctant to part with her, couldn't help but feel envious.
Wearing a white wedding dress and looking beautiful, He He also wanted to cry, but when she thought about how beautiful her makeup was today, she didn't dare to cry, for fear of ruining it.
She could only hug them one after another, and promised to come back to the Cheng family often in the future, especially to visit her maternal grandparents.
In recent years, it's not uncommon to see brides in wedding dresses getting married in Rongcheng, but it's quite rare to see them being picked up by sedans.
Wearing a black suit and sporting a slicked-back hairstyle, Chen Jingbai arrived in a car to pick up his bride. The children from the military compound who were out collecting wedding candy were excited to touch the car as it arrived.
After overcoming numerous obstacles, Chen Jingbai finally pushed open He He's door.
He He sat upright on the bed, a white veil covering her rosy face. She lowered her head slightly, somewhat embarrassed to look at Chen Jingbai.
Chen Jingbai looked at her with tender eyes; today was the happiest day of his life.
The people around were cheering.
"The groom is here!"
"Quickly, let the groom carry our bride out."
Chen Jingbai squatted down and turned his back.
He He reached out and wrapped her arms around Chen Jingbai's neck, pressing her entire body against his back.
He carried it steadily and walked very fast.
Seeing Chen Jingbai like this, everyone teased him again.
"Look how fast the groom is walking! He can't wait to take Xiaohua home."
"Hahahaha, that's right, young people walk so fast."
After the Cheng family finished serving tea, everyone went to the new house.
Chen's parents were waiting over there, and tea was also served here. The wedding party followed He He and Chen Jingbai through the ceremony, and then everyone went to the hotel where the banquet was to be held.
He He and Chen Jingbai stood outside the door to greet the guests. It was summer vacation and also the weekend, so there were quite a few people coming to eat.
For the first time, He He discovered how bad she was at conversation with all her relatives.
Chen Jingbai squeezed her hand privately and whispered in her ear, "Are you tired?"
He He wore white heeled leather shoes today, and standing for a long time was indeed tiring. "A little."
Chen Jingbai: "Then I'll go back at noon and massage your legs."
He He raised an eyebrow: "Okay."
After lunch and dinner, and having had a tiring morning, Chen Jingbai took He He back to their new house to rest before coming back in the afternoon.
Chen's parents still lived in their original house, so He He and Chen Jingbai lived in the new house.
He He took off her elaborate wedding dress, took a shower, and changed into her pajamas.
When she lay down, Chen Jingbai hadn't come in yet; he was probably still busy working in the living room.
But this is fine too. It's the first time we've shared a bed, and she feels a little awkward. She doesn't know how to face Chen Jingbai if he comes in later.
She got up early today and stood in high heels for a long time, so she was really tired and fell asleep almost as soon as she hit the bed.
When Chen Jingbai came in, he saw He He sleeping soundly. He had taken off his suit jacket and was only wearing a white shirt.
He originally wanted to take a shower in the bedroom bathroom, but He He was asleep, so he had to go to the bathroom in the living room to wash up.
He took a quick shower, returned to the bedroom, and quietly got into bed.
He pressed a shallow indentation into the blanket.
Chen Jingbai propped his chin up and glanced sideways at He He.
She sleeps very well; her face is rosy when she's asleep.
Chen Jingbai couldn't help but stare a little longer, and then reached out a finger to brush away the stray hairs that were covering He He's eyes.
Not daring to disturb her, Chen Jingbai lowered his head, leaned down and gently kissed He He's cheek, then quickly left and finally lay down.
His heart was overflowing with joy, and a smile that never faded graced his lips.
After their lunch break, the alarm clock rang, and the two people lying in bed woke up at the same time.
However, Chen Jingbai opened his eyes first. He He struggled for a moment before half-closing her eyes and reluctantly sitting up.
Chen Jingbai took off his pajamas and put his shirt back on.
He changed his clothes right in front of He He, his firm, muscular upper body exposed to her.
He He was about to cover her eyes when she remembered that she and Chen Jingbai were already married, so what was wrong with taking a few more glances? So she began to appreciate it openly.
Chen Jingbai finished putting on his shirt and just then saw her sit up, so he asked, "What are you going to wear this afternoon? I'll get you some clothes."
He He had moved all her things here a few days ago, so she can wear whatever she wants.
Last week, when she went shopping with Chen Jingyi, she bought a red dress, which she planned to wear today.
Wearing the wedding dress for the morning is enough; the afternoon banquet will be for close relatives and friends, so there's no need to wear a complicated wedding dress.
He He pointed to the wardrobe: "There's a red dress on the left side of the wardrobe. I'll wear that one."
Chen Jingbai was very obedient. He quickly found the dress He He wanted in the wardrobe, handed it to her, and then left.
He He breathed a sigh of relief. Chen Jingbai wasn't shy, but she was still a little shy about changing clothes in front of him in broad daylight.
She quickly changed her clothes and sat down at the dressing table to do her makeup.
He He had asked someone to help her with her makeup in the morning, so she decided to do it herself in the afternoon. Her makeup skills were pretty good, and she quickly created a look that was just as good as her morning makeup. She also styled her hair.
When she went out, Chen Jingbai was sitting in the living room.
As soon as she came over, Chen Jingbai noticed her. "You're awake? Come sit down, let me massage your legs. Are your legs sore? I went back to the bedroom at noon and found you asleep, so I didn't dare to disturb you."
“Okay.” He He didn’t refuse. Her legs were indeed a little sore. She walked over and sat down next to Chen Jingbai.
At Chen Jingbai's prompting, she put her legs on his thighs and enjoyed his leg massage.
With his help, He He felt that her legs were not so sore anymore, whether it was psychological or not.
After massaging their legs, the two sat for a while before putting on their shoes and heading out to the hotel.
Chen Jingbai planned to take He He there on his motorcycle; the hotel he booked wasn't far from his home.
Chen Jingbai drove the motorcycle out of the storage room. When he bought the house, he also bought a storage room on the first floor just to store the motorcycle.
He He sat on the back of Chen Jingbai's seat and hugged his waist tightly. "Let's go!"
Sitting on the motorcycle, the wind was howling; in the sweltering summer, it was a refreshing breeze.
Upon arriving at the hotel, the two found a table at the head of the table and sat down.
Mr. and Mrs. Chen were still there, and Chen Jingyi and Cheng Surin were also sitting together chatting. When they saw the two of them come over, they pulled out chairs for them to sit down.
Other relatives came over to exchange pleasantries, which He He couldn't handle. Fortunately, Chen Jingbai stood in front of her and answered them all.
He He sat next to Chen Jingyi and chatted with her about topics that girls usually talk about.
He He asked her curiously, "Sister Jingyi, when are you planning to marry Cheng Surin? I really want to attend your wedding."
Chen Jingyi smiled sheepishly: "I've been busy lately, so I guess it will be next year. Ah Lin originally said he would hold the ceremony with you, but I didn't have time, so I told him to wait until next year."
He He nodded thoughtfully: "That's fine too."
Chen Jingyi is indeed very busy, almost as busy as Chen Jingbai. It's just a pity for Cheng Sulin, who wanted to marry Chen Jingyi so quickly, but now it'll have to wait until next year.
Half the number of people were gone for the dinner. My grandparents are too old, so we didn't want them to have to make a fuss. After lunch, Hehe's uncle took them home, and we packed some food from the hotel to take home for dinner.
After the party ended, everyone left one after another. He He's uncle and aunt stayed until the very end, gave He He a few more words of advice, and then left.
He He was driven back to the new house by Chen Jingbai.
By evening, He He, having washed up again, was even more nervous than at noon, and nervously lay in bed pretending to be asleep.
The sound of running water came from the bathroom.
He He closed her eyes, trying to fall asleep like she did at noon, but she had slept for too long at noon and couldn't fall asleep anymore!
But she still kept her eyes closed and pretended to be asleep.
The sound of water in the bathroom stopped, and the footsteps grew closer.
Even with a corner of the thin blanket lifted, He He still dared not move.
She felt a shadow fall over her head, and suddenly, a low, muffled laugh reached her ears.
"He Bao, your eyelashes are moving, I know you're not asleep."
Like a stranded fish, He He took a deep breath and slowly opened her eyes.
She couldn't avoid meeting Chen Jingbai's eyes.
Then, Chen Jingbai's overly aloof face loomed closer, and a warm touch landed on her lips.
She was stunned and didn't react, her eyes wide open as her lips were gently licked.
Chen Jingbai seemed to notice her gaze and opened his eyes. He seemed to smile and reached out a hand to cover her eyes.
Deprived of sight, the upper half of her face was covered by his hot, burning hands, while the lower half was covered by Chen Jingbai's restless lips.
It was very hot. She gradually became confused and was deeply immersed in the heat that Chen Jingbai had created. The heat climbed down from her face until it covered her whole body.
She thought it was hot enough, but then a large hand slowly covered her waist and gripped her tightly, making her realize that something even hotter was pressing against her.
It was also the first time she realized that Chen Jingbai's hands were so rough, making her waist itch.
Her eyes were still covered by Chen Jingbai's hand, but he spared her overly swollen lips and kissed her below her collarbone.
Just as Chen Jingbai's hand was about to move down, He He flinched and said softly, "Turn off the lights."
Chen Jingbai reached out the hand that had been covering He He's eyes, and with a snap, the lights went out, plunging the world into true darkness.
He He quietly opened her eyes; she could only see Chen Jingbai's blurry figure.
The moonlight shining through the curtains wasn't enough to illuminate people clearly, but it was sufficient; Chen Jingbai's eyes could clearly see He He.
He leaned down, his lips and tongue gently sweeping across her body, and with each touch, he could feel He He's body tremble.
He buried his head in the thin blanket and came to the middle of the bed.
Licking and sucking it bit by bit.
The kisses, both quick and slow, left his chin damp in the already humid moonlight.
He He lay sprawled on the bed like a puddle of water, unable to stop panting.
Chen Jingbai crawled out from under the covers and offered a kiss instead of comfort.
After calming him down, the night was still long, and he continued doing it again and again with great enthusiasm.
As dawn broke, the endless night was finally brought to an end by daylight.
He He was taken to the bathroom by Chen Jingbai to wash up. She was trembling a little. After washing up, she was placed on the bed and hugged by a warm embrace.
Chen Jingbai's voice tickled her neck. "He Bao is so cute today."
He He no longer had the strength to raise her hand to pat her, and her slight struggles turned into shrinking even deeper into Chen Jingbai's arms.
She could only say weakly and sternly, "Shut up, I want to sleep!"
Chen Jingbai softly agreed, "Okay, go to sleep."
The two embraced and fell into a deep sleep.
He He didn't wake up until the afternoon. When she woke up, there was no one by her bed. She touched the blankets and found them cold, which meant that Chen Jingbai had gotten up long ago.
She lingered in bed for a while longer before finally getting up. As soon as she stepped out of bed, the aches and pains in her back became even more pronounced.
He He rubbed her legs, just as Chen Jingbai came over.
His face showed concern, but also a hint of embarrassment as the culprit. "Does your leg hurt? Let me rub it for you."
He He sat back on the bed, her legs gently pressed down by Chen Jingbai, and she still couldn't help but complain, "It's all your fault."
Chen Jingbai coaxed, "Yes, it's all my fault. I've heated up some food for you. Go over and eat some later. Are you hungry?"
He He pouted: "Hungry!"
Chen Jingbai: "I'll carry you over to eat."
He He was carried to the dining room and sat down, watching Chen Jingbai busy himself.
The afternoon sun shone brightly through the window, bathing Chen Jingbai in a warm glow.
He He propped her head up and watched him busy himself with his sleeves rolled up, thinking: This kind of life isn't bad.

I've come up with a bonus chapter for an "what if" scenario, which I expect to release next Tuesday when I'm feeling better. Thank you again to all the readers who made it to the end! [kissing emojis]
My new novel, "The Original Wife Abandoned by a Historical Fiction Master," is expected to be released around the 20th of this month. Those interested can check it out!
This is the copy:
Shen Yunzhu dreamed that she was the first wife of the male protagonist in a period novel who was about to be divorced.
Startled awake, she looked at Zhou Weiquan, who was fast asleep beside her but whose hand was firmly around her waist, and recalled the blind date where he had offered her help in her time of need.
The young man in military uniform, with a cold and stern look in his eyes, said to her, "If you find someone you love in the future, we can get a divorce."
In the book, Zhou Weiquan's sweetheart actually appears. The usually aloof Zhou Weiquan smiles only at her, and in dangerous moments, he chooses her as his partner.
Her husband became increasingly strange, saying things she couldn't understand in private, and repeatedly trying to prove his existence to her at night.
Shen Yunzhu didn't understand, but she didn't want to stay there any longer; she wanted to divorce Zhou Weiquan.
But before she could even step out of the room, Shen Yunzhu was dragged back...
＊
Zhou Weiquan found himself out of control.
He speaks coldly to his wife but shows great care and concern for other women.
Between his wife and other women, he watched helplessly as he walked towards another woman.
With bloodshot eyes, Zhou Weiquan slashed himself repeatedly in a fit of rage to gain a brief moment of clarity. After tending to his wounds, he pulled his beloved wife back into his arms, comforting her again and again and begging her not to leave.
＊
People in the military compound thought Shen Yunzhu and Zhou Weiquan were getting a divorce. One was delicate and sweet, the other was tall and aloof; they seemed like an ill-matched couple. Now, they were arguing over another woman, making their lives even more chaotic and unbearable.
Who knew what would happen later...
Reading reminder:
1. The male protagonist is pure in both body and mind; very pure, extremely pure.
2. The male and female leads have children, a brother and sister.
3. The difference in body size between men and women is 30, and the age difference is 3.
