If you don't consummate the marriage for three years and then marry a successful educated youth

Jiang Lie watched Lai Zi run away, then looked down at the person in his arms and keenly sensed something was wrong. He was too hot; did he have a fever or something?

"Wen, are you alright? Is anything bothering you?"

Wen Yao was burning up, her mind was blank, and only instinct drove her to cling tightly to the coolness in front of her. The moment she was put down, she threw herself into the man's arms and rubbed against him.

"It's hot, so hot. Can you hold me?"

She reached out and grabbed the man's large hand, placing it on her face and gently rubbing it. But soon she was no longer satisfied with just that coolness and pressed her whole body against him.

Jiang Lie felt his body go limp and tense, afraid to move. He tried to break free with a little effort: "Wen Zhiqing, calm down, I'll get you some cold water."

Wen Yao wouldn't listen to what he was saying. She hugged his neck tightly and stood on tiptoe to get close to his lips. She opened her mouth and kissed him. It was soft, cool, and so comfortable.

"Hmm~~"

Under the moonlight, Jiang Lie subconsciously supported her waist, opened his mouth as if to say something, but that nimble little tongue slipped in, and his mind seemed to explode.

The stimulation sent a shiver down his spine, his hands trembled, and he instinctively pulled the person closer to his chest, his breathing becoming heavy.

He took the initiative and kissed the person until they passed out. Their red lips became slightly swollen. As their senses returned, Jiang Lie pursed his lips, not daring to look at the person in his arms.

Under the influence of the drug, Wen Yao quickly struggled again.

She reached out and tugged at her clothes: "Jiang Lie, I'm so hot, so very hot! Please help me, please~~"

Jiang Lie picked her up and carried her into the house, pulled her arms off him, and splashed cold water on her to cool her down, but only for a second before she started to retaliate.

The figure on the kang (heated brick bed) writhed, sobbing, "Ugh, it hurts so much, I'm going to die, Jiang Lie, please save me, sob sob..."

She took his large hand and pressed it against her full chest.

The string in Jiang Lie's mind snapped the moment it touched something soft. He took a deep breath and said, "I'll help you alleviate the effects of the drug. I hope you won't hate me when you wake up."

With a snap, the buttons were undone in the darkness, and the man rolled over and pressed down on her, his burning lips roaming over her body, not daring to use too much force for fear of leaving marks.

Wen Yao felt something igniting all over her body in the darkness, touching her most private parts, making her whimper like a little animal, and then she couldn't help but cling to it.

An hour later, Jiang Lie withdrew his hand, which was already soaked with sweat. The air was filled with the scent of jasmine emanating from the woman, as well as the aroma of desire.

He washed his hands to remove the stickiness and waited quietly for the woman's reaction in bed.

Wen Yao's body trembled slightly as the scenes from just now flashed through her mind. She had been so shameless in clinging to him, and he had broken down her defenses with just a finger.

She wiped away the tears that had welled up in her eyes from the intense irritation, slowly sat up, and silently put on her clothes, not daring to speak.

Jiang Lie: "Has the effects of the drug worn off a bit? You're still conscious, so why is the leper chasing you?"

"I was in the educated youth compound, waiting for them to finish washing up. I was about to wash up myself when I suddenly felt very uneasy. Then I saw Lai Zi rush in."

"He covered my mouth and nose with a handkerchief, and sprayed some kind of medicine on it. I inhaled it when I struggled, and my body became hotter and hotter. I asked other educated youths for help, but no one paid any attention to me."

As Wen Yao spoke, she choked up and said, "After I found out I had been poisoned, I ran away. I want to beg you to save me."

Jiang Lie curled his fingers slightly, his fingertips still seemingly lingering on that soft, slippery touch. He couldn't help but be a little lost in thought, his voice hoarse: "I'm sorry, you were under the influence of the drug just now."

"Let me help you relax. How are you feeling now? You... are still a virgin. I didn't actually sleep with you. Are you alright?"

Upon hearing this, both of their faces turned bright red, though it was difficult to see in the darkness.

Wen Yao trembled slightly: "Okay, I feel a little better. Thank you for helping me. Even if we didn't go all the way, we've still had physical intimacy. Would you marry me?"

"I didn't mean anything by it. After what happened tonight, that scoundrel will definitely not let me go. If I were still living in the educated youth compound, he would still keep bothering me."

Jiang Lie gave her a deep look: "If you're going to marry me just to avoid lepers, then no need. I only want to find someone who truly loves me and is willing to spend their life with me."

"I don't want to be anyone's shield. I'm sorry, Wen Zhiqing, now that the effects of the medication have subsided, I'll take you back."

"Forget about what happened tonight. I won't tell anyone. You're still a virgin. As long as you say it, you can still marry a good man when you go back to the city."

Tears streamed down Wen Yao's face as she looked at him with a sorrowful gaze. They had already gone through that, and even if they hadn't gone all the way, she would never forget tonight. How could she possibly get married now?

She didn't want to marry anyone else. Although this man looked a bit fierce, he didn't take advantage of her vulnerability. She was the one who insisted on clinging to him. Wasn't he someone she could entrust her life to?

She slowly got off the kang (a heated brick bed), enduring the slight discomfort in her private parts, and walked slowly to the man. She cupped his face in her hands and brought her closer: "That's not what I meant. I didn't want to use you as a shield."

Wen Yao bit her lip and mustered her courage to say, "When I was dazed by the Chinese medicine, all I could think about was you. I truly love you, not just use you as a tool."

"I'm telling the truth, you have to believe me. If you're willing, I'd like to marry you and settle down with you, okay?"

"Since I'm going to get married sooner or later, rather than being schemed against and taken advantage of, I'd rather choose the one I like."

Jiang Lie's pupils contracted, his face still feeling the soft touch of a woman's palm, and his Adam's apple bobbed uncontrollably: "Wen Zhiqing, are you serious? You really like me?"

Wen Yao hummed in agreement: "I'm serious. Would you like to marry me? I don't need any dowry. As long as you treat me sincerely, that's enough."

As soon as she finished speaking, her wrist tightened, and the next second the world spun around her. She was straddling the man's lap, and she could clearly feel his thigh muscles taut like branding irons.

A man's panting breath reached her ears: "Since you like me, and I like you too, how about I try to get a little something out of you first?"

Before Wen Yao could react, the man grabbed the back of her neck and held her lips in his mouth. He pried open her lips and stirred them wantonly, as if he wanted to devour her whole.

"Ugh, sob sob~~"

The room was filled with the sounds of the two of them smacking their lips together.

By the time it was over, Wen Yao's mouth was numb. The two of them pressed their foreheads together, listening to his heavy breathing, which made her ears feel tingly and numb.

Jiang Lie relaxed slightly: "It's getting late, I'll take you home, and I'll introduce you to my family tomorrow night."

"At night? You can't go during the day."

"Yes, I just got divorced. If I were to bring you home in broad daylight and someone with ulterior motives saw us, they might think I had an affair with you before the divorce, and you would be the subject of rumors."
