Their eyes began to look lost, and for a moment, only their breathing could be heard in the room.

To be honest, Shen Zhi was also very nervous, as this was his first time doing "that" with a woman.

Seeing that he was holding his wine glass without moving, Xu Qinghe asked, puzzled, "Do you want to drink more?"

Shen Zhi's Adam's apple bobbed. "Okay." He then went to pour two more glasses.

After finishing the drink in one gulp, Shen Zhi, for some reason, poured her another cup.

Xu Qinghe looked at the wine glass that Shen Zhi handed her and nervously swallowed.

Because her alcohol tolerance is only three cups; any more and she'll get drunk.

But when he thought about what he was going to do, he hesitated for a moment and then accepted it without hesitation.

She tilted her head back and drank it all in one gulp. Seeing her decisive manner, Shen Zhi also downed his drink in one go.

Just as he was about to pour another glass, a pair of slender, white hands grabbed him.

Shen Zhi subconsciously looked at Xu Qinghe, only to see her with glazed eyes and a flushed face, asking in a soft, sweet voice, "Where are you going?"

Shen Zhi looked surprised. "You're drunk?"

Xu Qinghe obediently shook her head, "No."

Shen Zhi...

That's quite a drinking capacity! Only three cups?

This is really bad! The cup is so small, it doesn't even fill a bowl.

Just as Shen Zhi was surprised by Xu Qinghe's alcohol tolerance, Xu Qinghe had already nimbly gotten out of bed.

Without hesitation, she pounced on Shen Zhi, who instinctively reached out and wrapped her arms around her waist.

Xu Qinghe had her arm around his neck, looking down at his face, and asked earnestly, "Does it hurt?"

Shen Zhi instantly understood that she was asking him if the scar on his face hurt.

With a slight upturn of her lips and a gentle tone, she said, "It doesn't hurt."

The next second, Xu Qinghe frowned, reaching out to touch the scar on his face while muttering, "Liar."

"How can such a long scar not hurt?"

Shen Zhi stood there, looking up at her, and seeing the heartache in her eyes, his heart also stirred.

Almost without hesitation, he placed his hand on her head and then pressed his lips against hers.

They kissed haphazardly. Xu Qinghe was stunned for a moment, but after realizing what was happening, she put her arm around his shoulder, closed her eyes, and began to respond to him.

Sensing the response, Shen Zhi tensed up even more, and with a swift movement, he picked up Xu Qinghe and gently placed her on the bed.

Xu Qinghe lay down on the wedding bed, the bright red sheets making her skin look snow-white and her hair as beautiful as if it had been dyed black.

Shen Zhiban leaned over Xu Qinghe, looking at her seductive eyes, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Are you scared?"

Xu Qinghe looked at him gently and said firmly, "I'm not afraid."

Upon hearing those two words, Shen Zhi could no longer control himself and lowered his head to kiss her.

The spring night was warm under the tent, and the red candles burned all night, creaking and groaning for half the night before slowly stopping.

The next day, Shen Zhi was awakened by the glaring sunlight and found that there was someone in her arms.

Turning his head, he saw Xu Qinghe nestled beside him, sleeping peacefully.

His perpetually cold face softened, and he turned slightly to face Xu Qinghe, keeping his arm still.

He reached out and poked her cheek lightly twice. Seeing that she didn't react, he chuckled and started to pull his hand back.

Carefully pulling her hand out and placing a pillow under her head, Shen Zhi then got out of bed and dressed.

As she dressed, she frowned and looked out the window, because the light from the window was already shining on Xu Qinghe on the bed.

Thinking of how Xu Qinghe had begged for mercy all night, his heart softened.

He found a rag and covered the window before going outside.

Yesterday's banquet was all on DVDs, so if we want to eat today, we'll have to cook again.

Shen Zhi is different from Xu Qinghe. He can also cook, but it's just enough to fill your stomach, which is nothing like Xu Qinghe's delicious and visually appealing dishes.

Even so, Shen Zhi did not say that he would wait for Xu Qinghe to get up before doing anything.

Instead, he quietly started to study it on his own, adding flour and water repeatedly, working busily for most of the day until he finally kneaded a huge dough.

After preparing the dough, he started rolling out the noodles. Apart from kneading the dough, which was a bit difficult for him, rolling out the noodles, cooking the noodles, and frying the eggs were all very simple tasks for him.

After finishing, Shen Zhi didn't eat first. Instead, he scooped the food out and put it in a basin before starting to work in the yard.

Feeding chickens, ducks, and dogs; sweeping the yard; weeding the vegetable garden.

It wasn't until Shen Zhi was weeding that he realized how well Xu Qinghe's vegetable garden was grown.

Not only are the varieties complete, but they also grow faster than others. In just a short time, the chives have grown to a height of over a bushel and are ready to be eaten.

The others are also growing very well, with the roots and stems of several kinds of vegetables growing to the sides.

Although Shen Zhi didn't recognize what these things were, he could tell from the leaves that many of them needed to be set up.

So he started looking for sticks to make supports, and before long he had supported all the seedlings with long stems.

Meanwhile, Shen Chengyue and Shen Chengchuan, who were staying at Aunt Shen's house, were also getting restless.

"Grandma, can't we go back yet?"

Shen Chengyue wanted to go back as soon as he woke up in the morning, but his aunt persuaded him to stay and eat first.

Then they played for a while longer, but as the sun got higher and higher, Shen Chengyue really couldn't sit still any longer.

Aunt Shen looked up at the time and saw that it was almost time. Thinking that the young couple should wake up soon, she sent the two children back.

Upon hearing this, Shen Chengyue grabbed Shen Chengchuan and rushed home.

He thought Xu Qinghe would be waiting in the courtyard, but when he opened the door, he was surprised to see Shen Zhi instead, and his disappointment was immediately apparent.

"Why is it you? Where is Aunt Qinghe?"

Shen Zhi looked speechless. "She's sleeping."

Have you two eaten?

"Have you eaten? What time is it? Why is Aunt Qinghe still sleeping?"

"I was exhausted yesterday, so I'll sleep in a bit more today."

"Why are you tired?"

"Did you bully Aunt Qinghe?" she said, and started to run into the house.

Shen Chengyue called him back without hesitation, "Come back, did you practice your boxing today?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Chengyue's face immediately turned as sour as a gourd. "No."

Shen Zhi: "Practice first."

Shen Chengyue wanted to retort, but he said, "I want to see Aunt Qinghe first." His voice trailed off as he spoke.

Because his father's gaze was so serious, he said, "Okay!" and obediently started practicing his punches.

Shen Chengchuan wanted to run away as soon as he saw Shen Chengyue practicing his boxing. When Shen Zhi saw him like this, he simply strode over and grabbed him and dragged him into the vegetable garden.

"If you don't want to practice, go catch bugs in the vegetable garden."

Shen Chengchuan immediately became interested upon hearing this, and started catching bugs with his little bottom sticking out.

The two brothers were thus forced to get busy, and just then Xu Qinghe woke up.

Looking at the pitch-black room, I didn't react for a moment.
