Around 12 AM, Zhao Shixiao stumbled back to the bridal chamber, heavily intoxicated. Chen Qianyue rushed to support him, wrinkling her nose at the strong smell of alcohol on him.
She spoke with a hint of grievance, "Why did you drink so much? Tonight is our wedding night."
Zhao Shixiao cupped her face, kissed her lips, and then quickly pulled away.
"I'm sorry, Yueyue, I was just too happy today. I'm sorry, I got carried away and drank too much."
Looking at his handsome, refined face and listening to his sincere words, Chen Qianyue's unhappiness immediately vanished.
Shixiao was so drunk yet apologized to her, only kissing her briefly before pulling away, afraid of offending her with his smell. He truly considered her feelings and loved her deeply.
"Alright, then I'll be magnanimous and not hold it against some people."
"Hehe, I knew my Yueyue was the best."
As he spoke, he nuzzled his face against Chen Qianyue's neck. Chen Qianyue's heart raced, and she felt a jolt as if struck by electricity.
Zhao Shixiao crouched down and scooped her up. They gazed at each other affectionately and slowly walked towards the bed.
He gently placed Chen Qianyue on the bed, then, feigning drunkenness, collapsed onto the floor.
No matter how Chen Qianyue spoke or shook him, he wouldn't wake up. Chen Qianyue, being small, couldn't move him. All she could do was cover him with a blanket and let him sleep on the floor.
Late at night, Chen Qianyue was fast asleep. The candles in the room were extinguished, leaving it pitch black.
Someone tiptoed onto the bed and went straight for the main event.
Chen Qianyue felt a discomfort and woke up shortly after.
She shyly said, "Shixiao, don't... don't do this..."
The person ignored her and continued their actions.
Chen Qianyue shyly covered herself with her clothes, but the person dominantly held her hands, leaving her unable to move.
"Shixiao, speak to me, I'm a little scared."
In this situation, Chen Qianyue didn't notice that the hands felt different from usual. Her emotions were completely controlled by the other person, following their rhythm.
As their passion intensified, she tried to kiss them, but was avoided.
They spent the night like this, and the next day, Chen Qianyue woke up to find Zhao Shixiao beside her.
She happily wrapped her arms around his waist and rested her head on his shoulder. Zhao Shixiao instinctively pushed her head away, his eyes filled with a complex mix of emotions.
"Shixiao, what's wrong? Have you grown tired of me now that you have me? Hmph, you can't go back on your word. You swore to only love me in this life."
"Of course, I just haven't adjusted yet, I'm not used to someone sleeping beside me."
"Then you need to get used to it quickly. From today onwards, I am your wife."
"Yes, yes, my good wife."
"What time is it? As a new bride, shouldn't I get up and cook?"
"Silly Yueyue, how could I let you do such things? You had a tough night, rest a bit longer. I'll call you when it's ready, and you can tell my parents you made it, understand?"
"Understood, hurry up, I love you."
During breakfast, Chen Qianyue served everyone. Zhao's mother kept staring at her backside, making Chen Qianyue feel extremely awkward.
...
"Shixiao, your mom is acting strange today."
"Don't worry about it, she just wants to hold her grandchild."
Chen Qianyue suddenly remembered last night's events, her face flushing to her neck.
"Why are you talking about that in broad daylight?"
"Alright, alright, I won't say anything more. My treasure is shy, so cute."
"Your injuries have healed, are you going to work today?"
"What work on the second day of marriage? I've taken leave, I'll take you around our village."
"Okay."
They met people on the road and greeted them enthusiastically. Chen Qianyue echoed whatever Zhao Shixiao called out. In the morning, Chen Qianyue got to know many of Zhao's relatives.
"Hello, sister-in-law, my name is Zhao Er Zhuang. I grew up with Brother Shixiao, playing naked together. Can your little brother get a piece of candy?"
"Of course."
Chen Qianyue said this and took out two candies from her pocket, handing them to Zhao Er Zhuang and his brother.
Zhao Da Zhuang: "Shixiao, you're not being fair, not telling us you had someone special. I didn't expect you to get married before me. And your wife is so beautiful, you're quite something, kid."
"It's fate, Brother Da Zhuang, something you can't envy."
"Oh, how sickeningly sweet. Shixiao is very cheeky, Sister-in-law, you need to keep him in line."
Chen Qianyue just smiled along, leaning happily against Zhao Shixiao.
"Sister-in-law, do you have any suitable girls in your family? Introduce one to your little brother. Seeing you and my cousin as a couple, I'm truly envious."
"Me too, me too."
"Find a wife yourself, don't trouble my Yueyue."
"Hey, Zhao Shixiao, you ungrateful dog who forgets his friends when he sees a pretty face, let's see if I don't teach you a lesson today."
"Count me in, count me in."
Saying this, they went to tickle him, and the three of them started roughhousing on the ridge.
Suddenly, Zhao Da Zhuang slipped and fell to the ground with a splash. His head accidentally hit Zhao Shixiao's waist, and Zhao Shixiao lost his balance, twisting his ankle.
He fell to the side, landing directly on two nests of prickly pear cacti. Inevitably, they pricked his thighs, and Zhao Shixiao let out a scream.
He pushed himself up with his hands, trying to get up, but suddenly lost his strength. He reacted quickly, trying desperately to roll away, but his waist felt as heavy as a thousand pounds.
With a *thwack*, his backside landed on the prickly pears again. Zhao Shixiao let out a pig-like shriek, completely losing the strength to move.
Chen Qianyue and Zhao Er Zhuang, realizing what had happened, immediately rushed forward to help Zhao Shixiao.
"Cousin, are you okay?"
"Shixiao, are you alright?"
"I'm fine, don't worry."
Zhao Da Zhuang got up from the ground, scratching his head, and came over to apologize sheepishly.
"Shixiao, I'm sorry, please don't take it to heart. Brother really didn't mean it. We've played in this place hundreds of times. I don't know why I suddenly slipped, and you happened to fall onto those cacti."
"I... ah."
Zhao Shixiao felt a chill below his waist and involuntarily screamed.
