Chapter 194: Everlasting Lamp, Everlasting

~7 min read 1,323 words

Chen Xun hurriedly shook his head, "My wife is the most reasonable person in the world."

An Yinan was amused by him, "You have a glib tongue!"

"I'm serious!" Chen Xun looked at An Yinan firmly.

While the two were talking, Chen Xun opened a door; inside was the living room. Chen Xun did not stop there, but instead carried An Yinan into the bedroom.

"Wife, that over there is the washroom, for our own use. If you go out through the door inside the washroom, there is a toilet."

"The wardrobe here also has your clothes." As Chen Xun spoke, he opened the wardrobe and showed An Yinan the clothes inside.

"Take your time when you bathe, don't rush, and don't fall," Chen Xun instructed in detail.

An Yinan blinked, "Where are you going?"

Chen Xun let out a muffled laugh, looking at his dazed little wife, "Going to the front yard to bathe. Or should we go together?"

An Yinan was stunned, then gave a cold snort, "Who wants to bathe with you? Hurry up and get out~"

"Haha, don't push, let me get my clothes first." Chen Xun held An Yinan and turned, then kissed her cheek.

His wife's face carried a faint medicinal scent, and her flushed little face was warm; the usual calmness and wit were gone.

After getting his clothes, Chen Xun pulled open the master bedroom door and said to An Yinan, "I'll be back in a moment."

An Yinan glared at him, "Hurry up and go!"

Chen Xun laughed, then closed the master bedroom door properly before leaving the backyard.

An Yinan patted her face and looked around the room. On the side of the room was a vanity, and on it, a red lamp was lit. In ancient times, this was also called an Everlasting Lamp, signifying that the newlyweds would have a prosperous and auspicious life.

She remembered that this Everlasting Lamp was not on the dowry list; she hadn't expected Chen Xun to be so thoughtful as to prepare it.

After opening the wardrobe, she found some loungewear and opened the washroom door.

The room was very simple, without any high-tech water heater, but it seemed a pipe had been connected from outside. After An Yinan turned on the switch, she felt the water temperature was just right, so she used the water from the pipe to take a shower.

She didn't take down her hair, just rinsed it simply, then dried her body and changed into her loungewear. She left the red wedding dress aside, planning to wash it clean tomorrow.

She thought she had been quick, but she hadn't expected Chen Xun to have already returned; she hadn't even heard any movement.

An Yinan was sitting in front of the vanity, just about to reach for something, when Chen Xun walked up from behind, "Let me."

He first applied the facial products bit by bit onto An Yinan's face, then used Snow Cream to moisturize her hands.

His movements were careful throughout, afraid that his rough hands would scratch his wife's little face.

"Nan Nan, eat something first." Chen Xun brought over the noodles he had just cooked; they had cooled for a while and were now just right to eat.

An Yinan touched her stomach; she did seem a bit hungry.

It had been a busy day, waking up since after four o'clock. Up until now, she had only had a full meal at noon. In the afternoon, she went to see friends, and everyone was so happy they completely forgot about being hungry.

"You eat too." An Yinan took another bowl and poured more than half of it for him, keeping only a small portion for herself.

"I'm full." An Yinan patted her stomach. If this continued, would she become a big fatty?

It was likely the system had anticipated her situation, which was why it had released the Slimming Pill reward in advance.

Then she looked at Chen Xun, who was still sitting to the side, "Where do you live?"

They were at the Northeast Camp; although they had always lived in the same courtyard, they had never lived in the same room. Apart from kissing and hugging, Chen Xun was always restrained and polite.

Although she was puzzled and had her guesses, it had never been confirmed.

"Where do you want me to live?" Chen Xun asked amusedly.

An Yinan looked up and asked curiously, "Is the room on the other side of the living room yours?"

Chen Xun narrowed his eyes, his gaze filled with undisguised desire. He braced his hands on the table, looking at the little wife opposite him.

"So, how long are you prepared to let me sleep in an empty room?"

A hoarse voice reached An Yinan's ear, low and powerful, unconsciously electrifying one's ears and making one feel completely uneasy.

"I..."

Before she could finish, Chen Xun had already taken her earlobe into his mouth.

An Yinan's words were instantly interrupted, and her breathing began to quicken. By now, she understood, but her mind was becoming increasingly blurred.

Chen Xun gently licked her earlobe, then looked up at his wife, who was flushed with a pink hue, "Nan Nan."

An Yinan's eyes were somewhat dazed; hearing her name, she looked up at Chen Xun.

Chen Xun smiled, like a big bad wolf luring a little white rabbit, "May I?"

An Yinan's brain had been rusted by the earlobe touch; she blinked unconsciously and then asked, "Wha, t?"

That clear voice, like a lark, was now intermittent, somewhat soft, and carried an involuntary tremor.

Chen Xun let out a muffled laugh. His laugh was captivating, especially that muffled kind—naughty and roguish, as if it carried a hook that could steal one's soul.

"What are you laughing at?" An Yinan, who was just about to regain her reason, lost the ability to think once more.

Chen Xun stood up, walked around the table, and scooped his wife up by the waist. His lips pressed onto hers, gently licking the corners of her mouth, where he could still taste the noodles from earlier.

Then they arrived at the large bed, where everything in sight was red, even redder than his little wife's face.

He gently placed the person in his arms onto the bed, pressed her hands down, and looked at her hazy eyes, her flushed earlobes, and those delicate, moist corners of her lips.

He could feel his own heartbeat, like the excitement of having just hit a perfect ten.

He lowered his head to kiss her forehead, her nose, gently kissed both her cheeks, and finally kissed her lips...

The Dragon and Phoenix Quilt, the Playing in Water Painting, the Lily Blooming, the Everlasting Lamp shining.

The noisy, clattering sounds mingled and played, like large and small pearls falling onto a jade plate.

You are the agarwood, I am the Boshan censer. — "Reading Songs", Song Dynasty, Anonymous

I only love the secluded grass growing by the stream, above which orioles sing in the deep trees. The spring tide brings rain, rushing in the evening; the wild ferry is deserted, and the boat drifts sideways on its own. — "Chuzhou West Stream", Tang Dynasty, Wei Yingwu

【Ahem, everyone savor the mood yourselves~】

The sun rises above the willow branches; it is already past dusk...

An Yinan was woken up by hunger. The bed had been tidied up, and the clothes scattered everywhere had been put away.

And the man by her side was not in the room either.

She had just sat up when the bright red wedding quilt slid down, revealing the red marks all over her body; one could imagine what she had experienced last night.

Feeling her sore and weak waist, she frowned, "Dog of a man."

As the words left her mouth, the hoarseness of her voice made her feel as if it were not her own.
