wedding night

Zhao Dongchuan told the busy Tian Runye to go wash up and rest, while he helped with the final tidying up; with his physique, this amount of effort was nothing to him.

After everything was tidied, Zhao Zhengguo and Guo Ping began to urge him to wash up quickly and go be with Tian Runye, their implication being all too clear: hurry up and wash up to enter the "bridal chamber"!

"Ah, finally no more sleeping on the floor... hehe!"

Zhao Dongchuan understood, secretly chuckled, and didn't refuse, heading straight to wash up.

Tian Runye had already finished washing by then, lying in bed, her face flushed and heart pounding, covering her head... waiting... for him to arrive.

She was both nervous and expectant; she had been waiting for this day for a long time... What made her slightly regretful was that she was not in Yuanxi County at this moment.

With her parents and relatives not around, and not being in a familiar place, she always felt a slight unease in her heart.

"Creak!"

The room door opened, and Zhao Dongchuan walked in, wiping his neck with a towel.

Upon hearing the sound, Runye's heart immediately pounded even harder, and her body tensed.

Although she and Zhao Dongchuan had been intimate these past few days, it had only been hugging... kissing was rare... most of the time he only used his hands.

Thinking of this, she blushed even more.

"Runye, what are you hiding in bed for!"

Zhao Dongchuan chuckled and gently pulled down the quilt.

Revealing Tian Runye's blushing face, swan-like neck, and alluring collarbones, two pink ribbons wrapped around her neck, making her skin appear even fairer.

"You... this..."

Zhao Dongchuan was a little surprised, not expecting Runye to be lying in bed waiting for him, wearing a pink dudou.

At this moment, the warmth in his heart was inexpressible.

He wished he could immediately mount his horse... but after much consideration, he suppressed the desire in his heart.

Zhao Dongchuan sat on the edge of the bed and said with a chuckle, "What a beautiful bride!"

Tian Runye's face flushed, and she buried her head back into the quilt... "Hahaha... shy, are we..."

...Tian Runye lay in the quilt, waiting quietly for a while, and seeing no movement, she slightly poked her head out.

"What are you doing?"

Runye looked at Zhao Dongchuan placing a bedroll by the side of the bed and asked curiously.

"I'm making the bed, I'll sleep here tonight..."

Runye was stunned for a moment, then her eyes reddened, and she asked, "You... you dislike me?"

Seeing this, Zhao Dongchuan no longer cared about tidying the bedding and quickly went forward to embrace Tian Runye.

"How could I... how could I dislike such a lovely woman as you..."

"Then you..."

Runye stopped her crying, looking at him intently.

"It's not that... I was thinking, although we had a banquet in Beijing, we haven't registered our marriage yet, and I feel that you would probably prefer to get married in Yuanxi County, with your parents as witnesses; that would be more official..."

"So..."

Runye grasped Zhao Dongchuan's hand and said affectionately, "Thank you for thinking of me so much... However, I am willing..."

As she spoke, Runye's voice gradually became softer, and her face flushed again.

She buried her head in Zhao Dongchuan's arms.

Looking at her curvaceous figure, fair skin, the fullness beneath the pink dudou, and the delicate smoothness of her back.

He couldn't help but feel a surge of heat in his heart... "Oh... what is that..."

Tian Runye suddenly felt something pressing against her lower abdomen... "Hehe..."

Zhao Dongchuan's old face reddened, and he couldn't help but chuckle.

He slowly released Tian Runye and whispered softly into Runye's ear.

"Oh..."

Runye's face instantly turned crimson... she sprang away as if she had been electrocuted!

Zhao Dongchuan just laughed heartily, without saying anything embarrassing.

Then he turned back and started making the bed again.

Just as he finished making the bed and was about to lie down to sleep, a warm body hugged him from behind... "You... are you very uncomfortable like this?"

"It's fine, I've gotten through so many years, a few more days won't make a difference! I want to give you a wedding night without regrets, witnessed by your familiar family and friends!"

"That way, many years from now, you won't blame me..."

"Then what... can I do to help you..."

Tian Runye was silent for a while, then asked softly, her face red.

Zhao Dongchuan looked at the incomparably beautiful Runye, her charming little face, her soft, pink cherry lips... his heart couldn't help but stir... Zhao Dongchuan turned around, hugged Tian Runye, and whispered a few words into her ear!

Tian Runye's face immediately turned red all the way to her earlobes upon hearing him... her eyes filled with disbelief and deep shyness!

After a long while, she nodded almost imperceptibly... Zhao Dongchuan's heart rejoiced... he hadn't expected Runye to agree.

Immediately, he quickly turned off the light... to give the "beginner" some dignity!

...The next day, Zhao Dongchuan opened his eyes, still groggy from sleep; he looked around him, but Runye was not there.

He yawned and got out of bed; last night, he was truly in pain and happy... it was hard to describe!

He got dressed and went to the living room.

His mother, Guo Ping, was already drinking porridge... "You're just getting up!"

Guo Ping said disapprovingly.

"Runye got up early, made breakfast, and is already outside washing clothes..."

"Uh, alright, why didn't she sleep in a bit more..."

"She's very diligent, unlike you, sleeping like a dead pig!"

"..."

Alright, Zhao Dongchuan shook his head speechlessly and sat down to eat.

"Dongchuan, you're up!"

Runye walked in carrying a wooden basin; seeing Zhao Dongchuan sitting and drinking porridge, her face flushed, and she chuckled softly.

"Hehe, I'm up... want some more?"

"No need... I've already eaten!"

Saying that, Tian Runye put down the wooden basin and sat beside him, asking, "Do you have any plans for today?"

"Uh, I want to go to the train station today to buy tickets, and then prepare to go back to Huangyuan... It's already the eighth day of the first lunar month..."

"Oh, are you leaving already, not staying a few more days?"

Guo Ping heard Zhao Dongchuan say he was leaving and said with reluctance.

Her good son, who had only been back for a few days, was leaving again, and they wouldn't see each other for another year... which made her quite reluctant... "Hahaha, don't be sad, maybe in a year, I'll be able to come back!"

"You can transfer your work back here?"

Guo Ping asked, a little confused.

"Uh... it's not for work reasons, it's for other reasons, you'll know when the time comes..."

Zhao Dongchuan smiled mysteriously.

This left Guo Ping puzzled, thinking he was just rambling again, so she didn't bother him anymore.

Only Tian Runye on the side was pensive... Zhao Dongchuan rode his bicycle, carrying Tian Runye, slowly cycling through the streets of Beijing.

He occasionally commented on the surrounding scenery to Tian Runye.

Time passed quickly, and they arrived at the train station, queuing to buy tickets.

It took almost an hour to buy the train tickets.

Relying on his cadre status and "writer's certificate," Zhao Dongchuan once again used his influence and bought sleeper tickets.

There was no other way; his poems, if not nationwide, were at least circulating in all the more developed cities... there was a whole box full of reader letters under his desk at the Huangyuan Cultural Center, and he had no more space to put them...
