Chapter 264: line with translation of chapter title

Xie Shiyu walked to the desk.

He casually took one from that stack of account books and flipped it open to look.

"The head of the Lu family in Hai City, Lu Yanli, prophesied: fire in the furnace, ten years of winter, sparks leap, burn half the pavilion, the remaining ashes cannot tell who is the kindling person."

Xie Shiyu raised his eyebrows slightly, looking at Tushan Jiu already sitting on the chair spinning: "Is that Lu Yanli's younger brother?"

Tushan Jiu stopped the chair, her eyes shining, then gave Xie Shiyu a thumbs-up: "My second granduncle pretends to be cultured; if his level were enough, he might have spoken classical Chinese—how did you know?"

Xie Shiyu: "We have cooperated with the Lu family and had some dealings; on the surface they look united, but Lu Yanli's younger brother is ambitious, he won't accept Lu Yanli as family head; this prophecy from my second granduncle says the Lu family will produce a traitor, and that is most likely Lu Yanli's younger brother vying for the head position."

Tushan Jiu nodded slowly: "Your analysis is not bad, exactly so; Lu Yanli being able to meet my second granduncle is his luck, but the opportunity was given to him—whether he succeeds or not is up to him."

Xie Shiyu glanced at the date on the pawned knife above; this knife was pawned nine years ago, and it still has one year left before expiration, which also counts as recent.

Then he took out his phone, opened the calendar, and set an alarm.

Flipping to the second page, which was also expiring soon, he again lowered his head to make a note on his phone and set an alarm.

Tushan Jiu casually flipped through the gift ledger; not hearing Xie Shiyu speak again, she lifted her eyes and saw him looking at the account book while also looking at his phone.

She curiously moved closer: "What are you doing?"

Xie Shiyu handed her the phone to look: "Saves time and effort."

When the calendar on the phone screen entered Tushan Jiu's view, she paused for over five seconds, then turned and dragged Xie Shiyu out of the study with her head down.

Xie Shiyu: "Not looking at the account books anymore?"

"No, I'm going to take a bath; we two are doing things, this time I don't want to be on top—last time I tried it, it was more tiring than being underneath." Tushan Jiu changed the subject.

"What account book to look at? Just look at the account book."

How could she not know she could set a memo?

How could she possibly not know!

She's just lazy.

Exactly.

That's all!

Whoever dares to mock her, she will broadcast his little secret!

The subject change was successful; Xie Shiyu put away his phone and scooped her up around the waist.

Tushan Jiu was startled by his sudden move and hurriedly wrapped her arms around him.

Xie Shiyu kissed her lips and said softly: "Alright, I'll take over the bath for you, saving you energy."

Tushan Jiu wanted to say she didn't need it, but the words didn't come out before her lips were sealed again.

Steam filled the bathroom, extremely hot.

Tushan Jiu felt her head go blank, whimpering uncomfortably.

This time she was neither on top nor underneath; she was standing.

But she summed up a principle.

Doing it is very pleasant, just too tiring.

Oh, right, to add: any position is tiring.

Seeing her whole body flushed, soft and limp, barely able to hold her own neck, Xie Shiyu panted, kissing her lips, hoarsely saying: "Wife, I'm almost there—call me, I want to come together with you."

Tushan Jiu's eyes welled up physiologically: "No, unreasonable, uh... Xie, Xie, Shiyu, you, how... overtime!"

It's been over an hour; she can't stand anymore. Before, he would finish in forty-plus minutes, which was just right for her—although tiring, she was used to that intensity.

Now he suddenly increased the load, and she can't take it.

Hearing that, Xie Shiyu mischievously nibbled her earlobe with his teeth, rubbing back and forth, then lifted her, grabbed a towel to quickly wipe the water off her body, and walked toward the bathroom door, saying: "It's not overtime; before, it was just right after doing it, I was afraid you wouldn't adapt."

During this time, the two remained tightly pressed together, not separating for a second.

Tushan Jiu didn't even have time to respond to his previous words, because her consciousness exploded when he had taken only a few steps.

Xie Shiyu felt it, so he stopped his steps, gently caressing her smooth back, also taking a deep breath to suppress the feeling.

The steps under his feet suddenly sped up.

Before Tushan Jiu could snap out of her daze, she sank into the soft big bed.

Her vision was blocked by a dark shadow; Xie Shiyu pinched her chin, making her look at him: "Jiujiu, happy wedding, I love you."

After saying that, he suddenly 'stepped on the accelerator,' and Tushan Jiu, unprepared, was completely sent to heaven.

When her consciousness returned, she found Xie Shiyu had already gone to get another small square piece.

Tushan Jiu felt like crying but had no tears; still, she first replied to his earlier confession: "Together, I also love you, Xie Shiyu."

Xie Shiyu smiled, came over and kissed her cheeks that were white with a hint of red, his eyes full of indulgence; he thought, after all this, he still hadn't forgotten to respond to himself—his wife was simply too adorable.

Tushan Jiu had no idea what he was thinking, since his movement didn't stop at all: "Mmm......"

Another round of endurance testing began; the wedding night was long, and the pleasure and affection could only be felt by the two parties involved.

In the end, Tushan Jiu was just like when she got the license before—she didn't even know when she fell asleep.

The next day, she opened her eyes to find it was afternoon again, and she was still in the guest room.

Tushan Jiu didn't find it strange; last night's ordeal lasted much longer than the night she got the license.

Xie Shiyu precisely timed opening the guest room door.

Seeing him come, Tushan Jiu lifted the covers, propped up a leg, and said: "Everyone else squeezes employees; you're squeezing the boss! Little Xie, come over and knead my legs!"

Xie Shiyu walked over smiling, sat on the bedside, lifted her leg onto his lap, and kneaded it, saying: "The flight plan is filed; we'll return home the day after tomorrow, stay in Yun Shi for two days, then we'll go on a world tour."

This plan had been made long ago; Tushan Jiu was quite looking forward to it: "Alright, then I want our first stop to be Antarctica to play with penguins."

Xie Shiyu: "Okay."

"'Second stop, I want to go to an island.'"

"'Alright.'"

Tushan Jiu thought again, "Third stop, I want to go to the Romantic Capital."

No problem.

"Fourth......" She hadn't finished speaking when Tushan Jiu's stomach growled.

Xie Shiyu laughed as he stood up, held her upright, went to the bathroom, "The schedule changed, first stop: go to the restaurant, fill your stomach before we talk about anything else."

Tushan Jiu blushed, she whispered, "Who let you act like an insatiable hungry wolf last night? Clearly, aside from those few days with me, you eat meat every day."

Hearing her mutter, Xie Shiyu chuckled softly.

He admitted, her taste was too great, he now just can't get enough no matter how much he eats~
