"How so? What are you afraid of?" Xie Jingchen pulled her a bit closer to his embrace, and the two of them fell onto the warm kang together. Seeing her wary, moist eyes, he couldn’t help but chuckle silently. To reduce her psychological resistance, he turned onto his side, then pulled her directly into his arms.

"..." What is there to be afraid of? Isn’t it obvious! Zhang Shan Ni realized that this man truly had a cunning side!

"Wife, don’t you want to be husband and wife with me?" His large hand gently stroked her back, and in the darkness, his voice was very calm and soothing.

In the faint, hazy night, there was a subtle coaxing tone.

"No, I’m not." Zhang Shan Ni tried to relax herself, taking deep breaths over and over, but her body remained tensely stiff...

Whimpering, she was scared! After her previous experiences with scumbag ex-lovers, her aversion to men had intensified.

"Your body is as stiff as a rock, what are you afraid of?" A faint puzzlement flashed through Xie Jingchen’s eyes. Typically, women might be scared on their wedding night, but they also shyly anticipate a fulfilling married life. Why was little girl so frightened?

"I, I’m scared..." Zhang Shan Ni’s apricot eyes widened, looking bewilderedly at Xie Jingchen as she shook her head. She didn’t know what she was scared of; could she admit that she feared he might be another jerk?

"Wife," Xie Jingchen suppressed the smile that almost showed on his face, while gently caressing her small body

Perhaps with this realization, although Zhang Shan Ni was still nervous, gradually, from his actions, she could feel his tender care...

After dozing off, she could still feel him pouring hot water from a kettle to wipe her body and applying medicine to her. As for the medicine, she vaguely heard that it was specially given by her mother-in-law. But she was so tired that her bones felt like they had come apart, and she couldn’t lift a finger.

....................

"Wife, are you awake?" Xie Jingchen leaned on her back, her petite frame seemed like a delicate child, her small head reaching up to his chest, like a little kitten shrinking under him.

Hmm~~ it’s all her fault!

When the little girl fell asleep, she probably found his arm too hard, so even while she was deep asleep, she kept shrinking down onto his chest and abdomen, where she finally settled and slept peacefully.

...............

The wife is already on the kang, how could he possibly restrain himself! If it wasn’t because he saw how exhausted she truly was last night, .... It’s no wonder his colleagues who got married always looked at him with that ’you wouldn’t understand’ expression. Thinking that in four or five days, he would have to leave his wife to join the military, he couldn’t bear to leave.

"You, you, how can I face people now!" Zhang Shan Ni gasped, her voice intermittent.

"Wife, it’s all because you are too....!" It was only after dawn that Xie Jingchen noticed the two distinctly different shades on his little wife’s skin. After enjoying himself last night, he hurriedly took care of himself and focused solely on her wounds. Plus, with the dim oil lamp, he didn’t think to scrutinize her body.

Now that it was light, he immediately noticed the completely different skin tones on his little wife’s body; the hidden skin was as white as jade, only the exposed skin was dark!

Her delicate arms contrasted starkly with his robust dark arms. Touching her felt as smooth as tender tofu.

He truly did not want to leave her, ........

..............

Zhang Shan Ni’s face was covered with beads of sweat, even her hair was damp with sweat. At this moment, the fragrance emanating from her body was even richer. Xie Jingchen deeply inhaled the rich aroma, seeing her so tired that her eyelids were tightly closed, contentedly, he coaxed, "Wife, sleep."
