Chapter 86 Shall we consummate our marriage amidst the swaying wind?
Li Yang tightened her grip on his neck, kissed him on the forehead, pulled back slightly, and asked with a smile, her misty eyes sparkling, "Does this count as real?"
You're so good at it!
Chen Junbo's lips curled into a smile as he buried his head and kissed her forehead, her brow, her trembling eyelids, and then slowly traced his kiss down from the corner of her eye to behind her ear, touching the corner of her lips. He then launched a full-scale assault, their lips entwined until Li Yang was breathless. Only then did he release her luscious red lips and gently suckle down her fair neck.
Li Yang felt an unbearable tingling and itching on his neck. He hunched his shoulders and arched his back like a kitten, his hands tightly hooking around Li Yang's neck. His fingernails left red marks on the back of Li Yang's neck. Unable to bear it any longer, he opened his mouth and bit Li Yang's earlobe.
Suddenly a chill ran through her, and she gasped. She felt Chen Junbo's hands slip inside her clothes and climb up, occasionally lifting the clothes that were in the way.
"what!"
Li Yang cried out in surprise, pushed him away, and jumped to the ground. Her clothes were loose from the movement, and her embroidered shoes had fallen off when the two of them were entangled. Her white socks and clothes were on the gray bricks, and the coolness rose from the soles of her feet, which suppressed a lot of the fire that Chen Junbo had ignited on her.
"What are you doing reaching in there?" She looked at the man in front of her nervously, pulling her clothes tighter around herself.
Chen Junbo was just a moment away from completely devouring the little woman in front of him, but he couldn't get up. He looked up and saw that her fear seemed genuine, so he frowned and asked, "What's wrong? Aren't you going to be a real couple?"
"But they've already kissed, haven't they?!"
She'd already let him kiss her, and her neck was still a little sore from the kisses. As she spoke, she stretched her neck over to examine it in the peephole next to her. There were now bright red spots on a section of the cicada... "It's already like this, how much more real can it be?"
Chen Junbo frowned and stared at her for a while, as if he had thought of something. Suddenly, he rubbed his temples to confirm, "Zhaozhao, before you got married, did anyone teach you about matters between men and women?"
Upon hearing this, she nodded vigorously, "Yes, Aunt Fang said that I'm too young to get pregnant too early, and it's best to wait two years before having a child."
Chen Junbo: "That's all?" This auntie is certainly picking and choosing the easiest things to teach.
She nodded confidently, "Isn't that enough?"
Chen Junbo was almost breathless and collapsed, "What about the wedding day? Didn't the matchmaker teach you about the proper conduct between men and women?"
"Where's the matchmaker?" Li Yang asked, puzzled. "What's going on?"
Yes, their wedding day was just a public ceremony. Once the bedroom door was closed, there was no matchmaker, and they didn't even drink the nuptial wine.
Chen Junbo took a deep breath. What does it mean to lift a rock only to drop it on your own foot? He pursed his lips and paused for a moment. "You wait here," he said, then got up and left the room.
Seeing that he left without saying a word, Li Yang realized that he was obviously angry again. After thinking about it, he thought: He was wrong to do that, and he even got angry first.
Having sorted out the truth, she returned to her bedside with a clear conscience, removed her hairpins and jewels, and prepared to sleep. She gently applied a handkerchief to her neck with the hot water in the basin, thinking, "Is this person a dog? How can they go out tomorrow with bites like this?"
Suddenly, she heard Chen Junbo rush in. She hurried to the screen, placed her hands on the frame, and looked at him timidly with only her face showing. "Were you angry just now?"
To everyone's surprise, the man, who had just been looking livid, simply placed the tray on the table and beckoned to her with a smile.
Seeing that he had placed a pot and two cups on the table and was holding several books, Li Yang was displeased. He was worried that Li Yang would bring up accounts again in the middle of the night, but he still moved the pot and cups over to Li Yang.
As soon as she entered, Chen Junbo pulled her into his arms and laid her down on the soft couch. This time, he did not behave improperly, but simply put the book into her hands. "Since no one has taught you before, today I, your husband, intend to personally teach you what marital relations are."
Having finally finished his southern tour and presented the marriage arrangements to His Majesty, Chen Junbai was now thinking of consummating his marriage with his wife of one year.
After much thought, he concluded that the reason Li Yang didn't cherish him was because they hadn't consummated their marriage. If they had, and had a child, she would have settled down.
Li Yang looked at the picture book in his hand with some skepticism. The titles were "Sheng Penglai", "Huaying Jinzhen", "Fan Hua Li Jing", and "Weak Willow Ying Feng". He immediately lost interest and threw the book aside. "Why are you reading books in the middle of the night? I'll take these to Manager Zhong and the others to study tomorrow. Manager Zhong is an expert in growing flowers."
Upon hearing this, Chen Junbo's chest heaved. "Zhaozhao, would you like to open it and see how these flowers are grown?"
Unable to resist his persistent questioning, Li Yang casually flipped open "Victory over Penglai," wanting to see how this method of victory was implemented.
The clouds and rain of Wushan, the fragrant grass covering the slopes, the tender flowers gently caressing... Li Yang's face grew hotter and hotter with each passing moment. This was the affair between a man and a woman.
Chen Junbo held her hands as he turned the pages of the picture book one by one. She turned her face away in embarrassment, but couldn't help but steal glances at him out of the corner of her eye.
The man and woman in the painting, folded up like this, would they really feel comfortable?
"Dewdrop Peony, does Zhao Zhao like it?"
A warm breath brushed against his ear, sending a shiver down his spine. It was Chen Junbo reading from the book, "Or do you prefer 'Crabapple Blossoms'?"
"If Zhaozhao doesn't like flowers, there are also 'Fish Playing in the New Water' and 'Orioles Singing in the Morning Woods' here..."
Li Yang felt a burning sensation on his back as he lay in Chen Junbo's arms. His back stiffened, and he could only try to get up, saying, "No, don't say anymore."
The man released one hand, took the wine glass, put the wine in his mouth, put his arm around her shoulder, his strong and warm arms covering her chest, and then kissed her lips.
“If Zhaozhao doesn’t want to listen, then we’ll do it.”
"I won't." She tilted her head, her voice trembling from the strong liquor she had just swallowed. With her eyes closed, the scenes she had just witnessed flashed through her mind, startling her so much that she had to open her eyes, only to be met with his dark gaze.
He didn't speak, but simply rolled over and placed her on the bed, then lay on top of her. "Zhaozhao, I'll teach you, okay?" His voice was like a succubus, bewitching people and making them dizzy.
Seeing the person beneath him swaying in the wind like a small white flower, Chen Junbo's eyes darkened, and he continued the kissing from before, slowly reaching down her neck, collar, and shoulder, leading her downwards with one hand.
The body in his arms was like a pool of water, a wisp of mist, light and soft.
Although he knew she was beautiful, Chen Junbo was still momentarily stunned by her soft and fragrant body.
She half-embraced him, her forehead pressed against his shoulder, her breath penetrating his brocade robes and sending a shiver down his spine.
He was tall, and looking down at her, he could see the red ribbon tied around her soft, fair skin. With a flick of his finger, he untied the ribbon.
The skin beneath her lips was smooth and silky, as if coated with wax. Chen Junbo's Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily. He placed his hands on her shoulders and leaned close to her ear to ask, "Do you like it?"
The sensation on his body was both near and far, and Li Yang felt as if he were lying on a cloud, gently floating away to an unknown place, neither up nor down. Suddenly, he heard Chen Junbo's breath in his ear, and without thinking, he hummed in response.
Chen Junbo stared at her face and saw that her face was as red as a sunset. He couldn't help but reach out and gently stroke her cheeks to her lips, gently pinching her upper lip. With his other hand, he led her downwards until he reached the place where his blood was surging.
He firmly held Li Yang's hand, preventing her from pulling it away, "Zhao Zhao, you should show him some tenderness."
"Take it off," Li Yang said, pressing his free hand under his chin, forcing him to look up. "Wait a minute."
His eyes, usually as deep and unfathomable as an ancient well, were now tinged with desire, and the breath he exhaled on her skin was much hotter than before.
Chen Junbo leaned over her, his eyes revealing a deep, unfathomable light that traced her uneasy expression: "To consummate the marriage?"
Li Yang shrank back, her face turning completely red: "Today?"
He gently brushed his fingertip against her flushed face and asked with a low laugh, "Are you willing?"
Her dark eyelashes trembled slightly, and her watery eyes, timid yet filled with anticipation, resembled the first time they met, when everything was unknown, that lively and shy expression.
She had finally grown up. She shyly nudged his shoulder and said in a soft, ethereal voice, "Then... take a bath first."
Chen Junbo leaned down and kissed the little mouth that finally spoke, saying "Okay."
He got up and strode away to fetch water. Li Yang, his face burning, kicked his shoes and went to the washroom.
Chen Junbo washed himself in the courtyard and returned to the room. He spread out the quilt and sat on the bed, waiting for his wife to bathe. After only a quarter of an hour, he lost patience and strode to the washroom, knocking on the door. "Zhaozhao?"
"Chen Junbo, I... can't consummate the marriage..."
Upon hearing this, Chen Junbo pushed open the door and entered. "Zhaozhao, what's wrong?"
A cloud of steam rose from the tub, and a head emerged, its hands gripping the rim, eyes trembling with fear. "I've started my period..."
He took a few deep breaths, slowly walked to the tub, bent down and reached into the water. Li Yang hurriedly moved a few steps to the side.
"sorry……"
Chen Junbo was both amused and exasperated. What kind of wife apologizes to her husband because she's menstruating? "What nonsense are you talking about? The water's cold, come out quickly."
"Then you can go out first."
Chen Junbo did as he was told and went out of the room to close the door to the bathroom for her.
A few moments later, the sound of running water and rustling clothes could be heard from inside the room. Then, Li Yang opened the door, her pale face covered in cold sweat. "Chen Junbo, my stomach hurts."
Helpless, Chen Junbo bent down, reached under her legs, and supported her back with one hand, carrying her back to the room. He placed her on the bed, and as the covers were pulled over, he noticed her lips were still glistening. Her brows furrowed, and she shrank back, turning away, beads of sweat on her forehead. "Cold..."
Upon hearing this, Chen Junbo didn't hesitate and pulled the covers over himself, snuggling up behind her and pulling her towards him.
"We cannot consummate our marriage today... Why are you sleeping on the bed..."
"We won't consummate the marriage, I'm just warming you up." As he spoke, he covered her hands with his large hand, taking her cold little hands into his palm, and gently massaged her lower abdomen with his other hand. "I heard from the ladies on the pleasure boat that menstrual cramps are relieved when you're warm. Are you feeling any better now?"
Li Yang hummed in response but then fell into a deep sleep, unaware that the person behind him was soft and warm, yet he could not touch her.
The night was long and drawn out. Chen Junbai rubbed her aching lower abdomen with one hand, thinking to himself: At least we're sleeping in the same bed now... He paused, and the person in his arms groaned. He then gently rubbed her with his palm, as if he were rubbing his own unresolved brow. It wasn't until half the night had passed that Li Yang finally fell asleep.
Chen Junbo quietly got up and went to the bathroom. He took off his undergarments and jumped into the tub of cold bathwater, letting out a long sigh.

Author's Note: Chen Junbo rubbed his temples: Author, come here for a second.
The author takes a step back: Um, calm down, calm down, there's nothing we can do about it... (sighs and runs away) [noob]
