It turned out that his kiss was not as hard as imagined, but was cherished with caution, like holding a fragile star.
"Zhengnian."
She called his name between breaths, her voice soft.
"Don't get hurt again."
Chen Zhengnian buried his head in the crook of her neck and smiled grimly, "As you wish, Mrs. Chen."
The halo of the red candle spread over the brand new bedding, over the clasped hands, and over everything sleeping outside the window.
A few dog barks were heard in the distance, but were quickly swallowed up by the night.
The candlelight in the bridal chamber was still burning quietly, stretching the two cuddling figures very long, as if extending to the end of time.
The next morning, when Wang Xinxin woke up, she felt very tired all over.
