Xiang Nanzhi was also very excited, so excited that she couldn't sleep at all. "Last time, I didn't go to see you because I thought you must be very busy and didn't have time to spend with me. If I were here, you probably wouldn't be able to sleep well either."
"Um."
He'd been busy these past few days and hadn't thought about whether Xiang Nanzhi would come looking for him about this. Xiang Nanzhi turned to look at him and asked, "Do you want to touch him?"
As she spoke, she took the man's hand and placed it on her lower abdomen, "Xiang Nanzhi..."
He had long noticed that their interactions were different from before, but he wasn't quite sure.
Is she more likely to be making a fuss or just doing whatever comes to mind?
City dwellers are quick to accept someone and quick to give up on them. They love to embrace new people and things and crave excitement. This is what Yang He told him. Their feelings come and go quickly.
But he couldn't do that; once he set his mind on someone, it was for life.
For a while after returning from Saigon, he struggled with his attitude towards Xiang Nanzhi. He told himself that he couldn't be serious about her; his relationship with her was merely a responsibility, and he should just focus on protecting her and the child.
But Xiang Nanzhi repeatedly touched his heart with her actions.
"When you're very tired and busy, do you ever think about me and the child? Do you ever think about what it will be like for him/her after he/she is born...?"
Before Xiang Nanzhi could finish speaking, Shen Shixun kissed her. She was forced to tilt her head back and kiss him, but her hands gently hugged his neck.
His actions were aggressive, yet he remained on the edge of probing, hesitant to take any further steps.
"Xiang Nanzhi, please stop doing this."
They had already agreed to divorce after the child was born, so why did she do this? Was it out of boredom or on a whim?
Shen Shixun stopped there and released her. Xiang Nanzhi was unwilling to give up. She got up a little, but felt that the position was not very comfortable, so she simply sat on the bed.
"What did I do? I just let you touch the child; it's your bloodline too."
Her face turned red, and he wanted to explain to her that she seemed to like him a little.
At least these past few days, she hasn't thought about Song Ze at all. When Song Ze asks her out, she just declines.
But Shen Shixun had very little time and few opportunities to spend with her; she was always the one who went to her. She wasn't sure if Shen Shixun felt the same way about her.
What if she's just imagining things?
"Xiang Nanzhi, don't forget, we will get a divorce and end our relationship after this child is born."
He spoke while lying down, without even looking at her, his voice neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for them to hear each other, and he spoke without any emotion whatsoever.
The man's words brought her to reality. Xiang Nanzhi suddenly lay down. If he hadn't reminded her, she would have almost forgotten the promise she made to Saigon and him.
At the time, she was quite happy, thinking that having a child would finally free her from this burden, but now, thinking back on it, she feels extremely frustrated.
Once the relationship ends, he can go find other women.
Alan from the grasslands clearly likes him. If a man like him returned to the grasslands, many women would flock around him, vying to marry him.
She also learned about some of the customs of the grasslands. When a woman on the grasslands comes of age, there is a dog-beating ceremony. After the men take care of the mastiffs outside the woman's tent, they can go in and spend their lonely time with her.
So, did Shen Shixun sleep with other women before her? And what about in the future? Will he do it again?
Shen Shixun couldn't find the words to refuse Xiang Zhengyi, so he had no choice but to come and stay at Xiang's house. But all he wanted to do was stay there; he had no other thoughts.
He knew very well that people like him and others were not from the same world.
Suddenly, she felt a weight on her. The man opened his eyes and pressed himself against Nan Zhi. She lowered her head and bit his neck. "The future is the future. Right now, you're still my man..."
She didn't know what to do, so she moved her lips to his, but before she could kiss him, he took the initiative, saying, "Xiang Nanzhi..."
"You didn't ask, how do you know I still have feelings for someone else?"
She gasped for breath, "Shen Shixun, don't press down on me, I want to kiss you."
"I'll do it."
The words had barely left his lips when the man gently sealed hers with his...
Xiang Nanzhi was so overwhelmed by the man's kisses that she nestled limply in his arms.
Shen Shixun was caught in a dilemma: to continue or not to continue. She was still in his arms, which felt like a tickle to his heart. "Xiang Nanzhi will be gentler," he said.
She gently bit his shoulder and whispered, "I did like Song Ze, but haven't you liked anyone else?"
Mentioning others at this point is naturally a bit of a downer, "For example..."
"There are so many women on the grassland, haven't you ever been tempted? That night you were so...so...you haven't been with other women?"
"No."
Her mind went blank, and she became a little more awake. Shen Shixun touched her face, "Xiang Nanzhi, I'm asking you..."
"Um?"
Before he could finish speaking, she kissed him again, and all the soft sounds were drowned out by the darkness.
...
Fearing that he would hurt her and the child, Shen Shixun ultimately couldn't bring himself to do it, and Xiang Nanzhi remained in a daze under his guidance.
Except for not reaching the final step, everything that needed to be done has been done.
Xiang Nanzhi did not resist, and Shen Shixun did all the scoundrel things he wanted to do to her. Men have a natural curiosity about women, an exploration of the unknown, and an innate talent.
Xiang Nan knew nothing, and was so overwhelmed by his kisses that she couldn't tell which way was which. In the end, she fell asleep in his arms.
The night passed peacefully. When Xiang Nanzhi woke up the next day, she thought about what had happened the night before, and her face flushed slightly. Shen Shixun had already left. She touched the spot where the man had lain, and her mood was inexplicably good.
