After Jiang Rui finished washing, she planned to take out the water and pour it out. She pulled the door but it could not be opened. It turned out that Zhao Nan had locked it from the outside. So she knocked on the door panel amusedly inside.

Zhao Nan opened the door immediately. There is a faint warm fragrance in the room, like the smell of soap, but it is not the same. He walked into the room and got closer to Jiang Rui, and the smell became more obvious. It seemed to be coming from her body, the clean smell and warm body scent after cleaning the body.

After washing off the powder on her face, she was like a pure lotus in the clear water, beautiful and attractive, “Where can I pour out the water?”

“I’ll do it.” Zhao Nan did not dare to look at her more. Seeing the bucket on the ground, he lifted it and walked out.

He was willing to do it for her, so Jiang Rui did not bother to argue. She turned around and sat at the chair table, then untied her hair.

Not long after, Zhao Nan returned with a bucket of water and washed.

After Jiang Rui finished tidying up, she looked around. There was still a dowry piled up in the room. It was a bit messy, but it was already late. She will tidy up tomorrow and make the bed first.

She bent over to make the bed and could feel a gaze falling on her body. But she just pretended not to notice it and started to unbutton the clothes after making the bed.

There was a strange noise behind her and someone almost kicked the bucket over.

Jiang Rui snickered in her heart. She turned around, frowned slightly, and said to him: “You should act lightly. Don’t make the water all over the floor.”

Zhao Nan pursed his lips without saying a word, washed them quickly, and then strode out carrying the bucket.

Most of the tables, chairs, and chopsticks at the wedding banquet today were borrowed from other people in the brigade, and they had to be returned tomorrow morning. Zhang Liyun counted them one by one in the yard and entered the hall. Then she found that her second son, who should be in the wedding room at this time, was still walking outside.

She immediately pulled Zhao Nan and lowered her voice: “Why didn’t you go back to your room? I saw you standing outside the door just now. What are you doing wandering around here now? When you were not married, you kept thinking about her in your heart all day. After you are married, you’re just wasting time here, aren’t you stupid?”

Zhao Nan was about to carry the bucket to the kitchen, when his mother said it for a while, without even a break to refute it.

Zhang Liyun snatched the bucket from his hand. Then, she drove the people back into the room in a few moments, and smiled at Jiang Rui as if changing her face, “Baoqin should rest early.” Then she closed the door for them.

Standing outside the door, she still murmured in her heart: “This brat should know what he should do when he gets married, right? He can’t be such a fool…”

Seeing Zhao Nan standing at the door, Jiang Rui did not tease him anymore. She took off her coat and went into the quilt, patting the bed beside her: “It’s time to go to bed.”

Zhao Nan watched her lying on his bed. Her long hair was loose, her face was white, and the wrist exposed outside her sleeves was slender and white, which was set off by the bright red back like jade. He still could not believe that he had married her back. As soon as his eyes fell on her, he just wandered and dodged.

Seeing that he seemed ready to stand forever, Jiang Rui said with puffed cheeks: “If you don’t sleep, then I will go to bed by myself first.” After speaking, she turned over and buried her face in the blanket.

After hearing this, Zhao Nan could not care about anything else. He stepped over to the bed in a few steps, took off his coat neatly, and lay down. Seeing that she ignored him, he paused, stretched out his hand, and dropped on the round shoulder.

Only then did Jiang Rui turn to look at him, and mutter, “Are you dawdling like this too in the army?”

Zhao Nan did not answer, but the hand moved slowly down the arm, with temptation.

He opened his mouth to speak and found that his throat was a little itchy, so he coughed and said, “Is it cold?”

“It was a bit cold just when I lay down. I’ll be fine later.”

Zhao Nan then stretched out his hand again, pulling her whole body towards him, with a very upright tone, “It won’t be cold if you lie closer.”

It was indeed close enough. Jiang Rui was almost lying on his body and she simply put her head on his chest.

With the other person in his arms, Zhao Nan felt very strange. It was a completely different body from his own. It was smaller, more slender, and…softer, and more charming.

The tip of his nose is full of a faint warm fragrance of her body. The tip of the nose is filled with the faint warm fragrance of her body. When he lowers his head, his lips can touch her forehead, and his wide palm unconsciously caresses her back. Zhao Nan feels his throat itch even more.

Perhaps it was never the throat that was itchy.

“Are you sleepy?” He asked Jiang Rui.

Jiang Rui shook his head, “It’s okay.”

“Then let’s go to bed later…” He lifted Jiang Rui’s chin, lowered his head, and kissed the red lips that had been on his mind for a long time.

“Hmm…” Jiang Rui stretched her neck and rested her hands on his chest. She thought she was going to sleep in his arms at most tonight, but she did not expect that as soon as he hugged her, he became restless.

It was originally a shallow kiss, with the lips pressed to the lips. Until someone quietly stuck out his tongue and licked the other person’s lips, and the situation immediately got out of control.

In other words, such an out-of-control scene is a male instinct?

***

Zhao Nan has been in the army for more than ten years. He has a regular schedule. No matter how late he slept the night before, he would spontaneously wake up on time the next morning.

He opened his eyes and did not care about the temperature of the bed. He lifted the quilt and got up neatly. He skillfully put on his coat and pants, fastened his belt, and put on his shoes. He turned around and prepared to fold the quilt, and suddenly found that there was a person on the bed.

Jiang Rui hugged the quilt and looked at him quietly.

It seems that time was paused by someone, and all actions stopped. The two people stared at each other.

Not knowing how long it took, Zhao Nan reacted and took a step back suddenly. All the blood in his body poured into his head, his face flushed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his eyes were erratic, “You.. you are awake.”

“Did you forget that you still have me?” Jiang Rui patted the quilt softly.

Look at his appearance, isn’t it just that he has been a bachelor for a long time and he didn’t realize that there is a beautiful woman on the bed?

Her whole fair and delicate arms were exposed. There were several red marks on her slender neck and her lips were slightly swollen.

In Zhao Nan’s eyes, these are all evidence of the absurdity of the night before. He dares not look at her even more, but the various things from last night can not be restrained in his mind…

He shook his head abruptly and his whole body was about to catch fire. He took two steps back and calmed himself: “Do you want to sleep for a while?”

“You have chased away the drowsiness.” Jiang Rui complained softly, sitting up with the quilt in her arms, her long black hair hanging behind her back, faintly revealing a trace of radiant skin.

Zhao Nan’s eyes glanced over there unconsciously. After several glances, he realized what he was doing, and he cursed frivolously in his heart. But while spurning, he could not help but cast all his attention on her.

Jiang Rui stretched out her hand to take the clothes, and he stared at her closely. Jiang Rui was wearing the clothes, he looked dodgy. Jiang Rui opened the quilt and revealed two long legs, his eyes wandered but he was still watching.

“You have thick skin.” Jiang Rui was combing her hair at the table, seeing that he was still staring at her, she finally said.

Zhao Nan coughed dryly, turned his eyes away, and stared at Double Happiness1 on the cabinet. He felt it had been a long time, but in reality, it was only a few seconds, and he could not help staring back at her again.

After combing her hair and walking over, Jiang Rui stretched out her finger and poked his chest, “Looking at you yesterday, I thought you were an honest gentleman. It turned out to be a lie, but it was revealed in one night.”

Zhao Nan only looked at her lips. Those two delicate and red lips opened and closed, but he did not hear what words came out of them.

Jiang Rui shook her head, suddenly came over, touched his lips, and said a little helplessly: “Is this all right?”

“……what?”

“I said it’s okay to kiss you. Don’t keep staring at me, I was almost burned by you.”

Zhao Nan had another violent cough.

Jiang Rui ignored him, took his hand, and walked out, “Come to the kitchen with me and tell me where the rice, flour, grain, and oil are stored.”

After leaving the door, the cold morning breeze blew on his face. Zhao Nan’s lumped brain became sober, “Are you going to cook? Let mom come in later.”

“You are so filial.” Jiang Rui turned her head and gave him a light glance, “There is no rule that housework must be waiting for Mom to do it. Since the two of us get up so early and have nothing else to do, why don’t we make some breakfast? We can eat it when the others get up.”

Zhao Nan explained: “I am worried that you were too tired last night…”

The tips of his ears are red again.

Jiang Rui watched interestingly, rubbed her waist with one hand, squeezed her throat, and said delicately, “I was really exhausted last night. Are you planning to use all your energy on me? So hateful, you are such a badass.”

Zhao Nan was so blocked by her that his face was red and his ears were red. He could not even cough. After a long time, he stammered and said, “…Don’t talk nonsense.”

Jiang Rui just covered her mouth and smiled.

There were a lot of leftovers from the wedding banquet the night before. Zhang Liyun collected all the clean ones, took some of them away for the guests, and gave some to the neighbors nearby. There were still a lot of leftovers at home. The whole family will have to eat this for dinner these two days.

On the way to the kitchen, Jiang Rui thought about it. Yesterday, the taste was heavy. Today, the family must want to eat something light, so she prepared to cook a big pot of rice porridge. In addition, she has to boil a pot of hot water to wash her face.

After Zhang Liyun got up, she followed the sound and walked to the kitchen. Seeing the newly entered daughter-in-law and her son busy inside, she felt relieved at first. Then looked at her daughter-in-law carefully, and saw that she looked as usual and moved smoothly without any signs of discomfort. There was a sigh in my heart: Could it be that they just slept under a blanket last night? Is that brat really a fool?!

Zhang Liyun: “What a pitiful daughter-in-law! With such a foolish kid, when can I hug my grandchildren?” Sigh, wait for my education, you foolish brat! Where is my pan?

Jiang Rui: “Yes, Mom. I am so pitiful. How could he forget a beautiful woman like me after what we did last night? What a scumbag.”

Zhao Nan: “I am really wronged!”
