Chapter 1331: Wedding [11]
Qin San Lang seemed to have eyes in the back of his head. He turned around and said to her, "The Military Office and the Prefecture garrison barracks have winter training every year. We’ve gotten used to it—I don’t feel cold."
Then he gave her a smile.
Gu Jinli hadn’t expected him to turn around and speak, and after being startled, she quickly urged, "You’re such a chatterbox, hurry up and go take a bath."
Qin San Lang’s smile grew wider. He nodded and said, "Alright, I’ll go wash now. I won’t make Xiao Yu wait too long."
Gu Jinli froze, screaming in her heart: That’s not what I meant!
But Qin San Lang had already turned around and left, so she could only mutter softly, "No need to wash too quickly~"
Once he’s done, then that thing will happen. Even though she was mentally prepared, the more she thought about it, the more awkward it felt... like it was just about consummating the marriage for the sake of it.
Gu Jinli hugged a blanket, leaned against the bedpost, and pondered deeply. What should she say or do to appear natural when Brother Qin comes out?
Done with your bath? Hungry? Why not have something to eat?
Gu Jinli shook her head and hit herself twice. Silly, always talking about eating. How many times have I said that today? It won’t make sense if I say it again, will it?
Or, maybe I should ask him about the list of soldiers the Military Office is sending to the Northwest. Are there any family members to take care of? As a Company Commander’s Wife, it’s her responsibility to care for the families of the soldiers, so I need to find this out.
Hmm?
No, he’ll definitely say it’s their wedding day and not to discuss such bothersome matters now. I’d be asking for nothing.
Gu Jinli was very troubled, always thinking about what she should say when he comes out to avoid awkwardness.
...
Qin San Lang had already finished his bath and was standing at the door of the inner room, looking at her sitting on the bed, mumbling something, and occasionally hitting herself twice. He found it amusing yet felt a bit heartbroken.
Gu Jinli was still alert. Upon sensing someone looking at her, she immediately raised her head and saw Qin San Lang. Surprised, she exclaimed, "You haven’t bathed yet?"
Qin San Lang smiled and said, "I’m finished."
He had taken a solid quarter-hour to wash and stood at the doorway for a while longer. It was her daydreaming that made her lose track of time.
"That quick?" Gu Jinli was startled, a bit flustered, and hurriedly pointed to the food on the table, asking, "Hungry? Want to have something?"
Then she thought of hitting herself again for asking such a stupid question.
Qin San Lang shook his head. "No, earlier I was outside entertaining guests, and I had a bite at each table, so I’m already full."
Nanny Tao was worried he’d hurt his body from drinking too much wine and specifically made thick beef porridge for him. As soon as he returned to the room, he had a bowl of porridge before letting Nanny Tao and others leave.
So when she woke up, he was the only person she saw.
"Not eating, huh?" Gu Jinli was troubled. If he’s not eating, what should she say?
Then she noticed he was only wearing long cotton trousers, with nothing on top. Her face immediately reddened, and she quickly said, "Why aren’t you wearing clothes on such a cold day?!"
Seeing her flustered state, Qin San Lang smiled and started rummaging for something in the room.
Gu Jinli asked, "What’s wrong? What are you looking for?"
Qin San Lang answered, "A change of clothes."
Upon hearing this, Gu Jinli forgot about embarrassment and got off the bed to help him find clothes. "Weren’t your clothes in the bathhouse? Nanny Tao brought your change of clothes, and I placed them on the table in the bathhouse. Didn’t you see them?"
Qin San Lang said, "Was there any in the bathhouse? I looked, but there weren’t any."
He spoke so naturally that Gu Jinli didn’t doubt him. She just thought maybe she was too nervous today and didn’t bring his clothes to the bathhouse.
"It’s too cold, go and lie on the bed first. I’ll find them," said Gu Jinli as she started rummaging through another big chest. "Here are your clothes for going out. I’ll find you a robe to wear. Even with the silver frost charcoal, you can’t not wear anything or you’ll freeze."
Madam Guo sent them a cart of silver frost charcoal, saying such strainless charcoal doesn’t smoke much. It’s good to burn inside, so they’ll be more comfortable.
"Ah, found it." Gu Jinli pulled out a dark robe and stuffed it into his arms. "Put it on and wait on the bed while I find your nightwear..."
The word "clothes" hadn’t even come out of her mouth before his body suddenly bent, and he lifted her by the waist, heading to the bed.
Gu Jinli was startled. She had never been carried like this before, so she hastily held onto his waist, afraid she might fall. "You, what, what are you doing? I still need to find clothes for you."
Qin San Lang said, "It’s such a cold day; getting off the bed with bare feet will freeze you."
Saying this, he placed her on the bed and even held her feet in his embrace, rubbing them. "Let me warm you up. We are leaving for the Northwest in a couple of days, so we can’t have you catching a cold now."
Upon hearing this, Gu Jinli didn’t think much of it. She felt her Brother Qin was attentive and mindful of even such small matters. Kindheartedly, she draped the robe over him. "Wear it. You shouldn’t catch a cold either."
Qin San Lang smiled, released her feet, and instead wrapped his arms around her waist, looking down at her with a smile. "I’m not cold, feeling quite hot~"
By the last two words, his tone had changed in flavor. As she was stupefied, he cupped her chin and leaned down to kiss her.
He was very excited but careful to restrain himself. After a while of gentle kissing, he couldn’t resist anymore and intensified the kiss, becoming addicted to her taste.
Gu Jinli was close to suffocation, lifting her hand to push him away. However, he only held her tighter. All she could smell was his scent with his heavy breathing in her ears and his eager yet controlled murmur, "Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu..."
With every call, the kiss became deeper, as if trying to swallow her whole. He deeply kissed her and, as she was about to run out of breath, gave her a breath before releasing her lips and moving down to her neck, leaving marks red as cherries.
"Brother Qin..." Gu Jinli felt very hot and flustered, wanting to push him away yet couldn’t help but hold him closer. Her eyes were watery, looking at him helplessly.
Seeing her teary eyes and helpless demeanor, Qin San Lang’s body tensed even more. He initially intended to be gentle with her, but his actions inherently became assertive, with a tear, ripping open her obstructive red dress.
Gu Jinli was stunned, hitting him, accusing, "That’s a new dress..."
"I’ll get you another one," Qin San Lang said as he kissed her again, blocking her protests. His hands continued, and in just a few swift moves, rid her of the entangling fabric.
Gu Jinli was amazed and tried to pull the blanket to cover herself, but he held her hand and placed it on himself, looking at her with a beast-like greed yet tenderness for his beloved. In a pleading tone, he said, "Xiao Yu, trust me, I won’t hurt you."
Give it to me!
Gu Jinli paused, looking at Qin San Lang in front of her... Unnoticed, he had grown up into a man. At this moment, his face was flushed with sweat rolling off his forehead, dripping onto her. The veins on his neck were bulging, and his muscles were tensed with desire, pressed to the limit yet still suppressing himself, fearing to scare her.
Feeling a twinge of heartache, Gu Jinli raised her hand to encircle his neck.
Qin San Lang dipped his head in response, looking deeply into her eyes, waiting for her next move.
Gu Jinli slightly raised her head and kissed his Adam’s apple... Qin San Lang’s body shuddered twice; he couldn’t hold back anymore. Like a beast let out of its cage, he ravenously devoured this delicacy he’d waited years for.
