Creak—
The door was gently pushed open, and the hot summer night breeze rushed in through the crack, slightly lifting Ouyang Zixin's veil, as if it too was eager to see just how beautiful the bride was.
Sitting on the bed, Ouyang Zixin felt a wave of nervousness. She had intended to calm her mind while Yun Tianmo was outside entertaining guests, but an hour had passed, and she still couldn't settle down at all. Especially when Yun Tianmo opened the door, the faint scent of alcohol wafting in with the wind only added to her confusion.
Ah, the wedding night—this would be an unforgettable experience for a lifetime...
Yun Tianmo's footsteps were light yet steady. It was clear he dared not drink too much tonight; after all, getting drunk on such a night was not a good idea.
"Um..."
"Ah! You want to lift the veil? It's over there..."
Yun Tianmo paused at Ouyang Zixin's hurried interjection, and a doting smile appeared on his face. His Little Woman was nervous; his Little Woman was shy...
Slowly, slowly, Ouyang Zixin's vision widened, and a large red figure gradually came into view.
"So handsome!" Ouyang Zixin looked up at Yun Tianmo standing before her and exclaimed sincerely, "How can someone be this handsome?"
"Is my lady satisfied?" Yun Tianmo asked with a smile.
"Very satisfied... What did you just call me?" Ouyang Zixin nodded vigorously. With a man like him, she wouldn't mind if he had even a few flaws; just looking at his face was enough... But wait, what did he just say? Lady?
"My lady, am I still to your satisfaction?" Yun Tianmo smirked and patiently repeated himself.
Heavens, that playful smile is truly...
—Master!
Oh, I let my thoughts wander again.
"Did you just call me, my lady?" Ouyang Zixin finally snapped out of her daydream, nervously swallowing.
Yun Tianmo casually tossed the veil onto the bed and sat down next to Ouyang Zixin, saying, "Now that we have completed the wedding ceremony, aren't you my lady? Do you expect me to call someone else?"
"Tch." Ouyang Zixin rolled her eyes at him, annoyed that he was taking advantage of the situation while pretending to be innocent.
However, to be honest, when she heard him call her 'my lady,' her heart fluttered a bit. It was a feeling that was hard to describe, but it was nice.
"Now it's your turn."
"Huh? My turn? My turn for what? You don't even have a veil on."
Ouyang Zixin's voice grew quieter as she realized that playing dumb wouldn't solve anything. There were only the two of them in the room; she couldn't pretend all night. Besides, even if she tried to pretend all night, it wouldn't last a lifetime...
But those two words were so hard to say...
"What? At this point, do you still want to run away?" Yun Tianmo pulled Ouyang Zixin back as she tried to get up, almost laughing in disbelief.
Uh...
Ouyang Zixin hadn't expected that while lost in thought, her body would actually make a move to escape. She quickly turned around and chuckled awkwardly, saying, "No, I... I'm just thirsty and want some water."
"Thirsty?" Yun Tianmo teased, then pointed at the table. "Are you sure you're not eager to drink that instead?"
Following Yun Tianmo's finger, Ouyang Zixin turned her head and instantly blushed. Earlier, she had hurriedly mentioned lifting the veil to distract herself, but now she had come up with a poor excuse and was being teased.
Ouyang Zixin, why are you so hopeless! Can't you be a little more composed?
Regret is incurable, sigh...
"I-I’m just nervous, do you really have to laugh at me?" Ouyang Zixin thought to herself, giving in and acting a bit unruly as she plopped back down onto the bed, appearing indifferent to whatever Yun Tianmo might say.
"I have no intention of mocking my lady," Yun Tianmo chuckled lightly, pulling her into his embrace with one hand while gently caressing her delicate hand with the other. "I’m nervous too, after all, it’s our first time."
"Hmph, you’re lying. How could I not see that you’re nervous?" Ouyang Zixin leaned closer, honestly feeling that sitting like this was quite tiring, so she decided to treat it as a rest.
The red candle in the room flickered, and the two nestled together as Yun Tianmo gradually calmed Ouyang Zixin's emotions.
"How about it? Are you ready, my lady?"
Ouyang Zixin bit her lip and nodded.
"Then let’s begin."
Ouyang Zixin closed her eyes. "Mm."
Yun Tianmo adjusted Ouyang Zixin’s position and handed her a cup of wine. "After drinking this ceremonial wine, my lady can no longer refuse me."
Boom—
Ouyang Zixin felt her mind go blank as she dazedly accepted the cup from Yun Tianmo and, like a puppet, followed his movements to drink the wine in the cup.
"It’s late, my lady. Let’s rest," Yun Tianmo said as he placed the cup back on the table and waved his hand to draw the bed curtains, instantly shrouding their vision in a haze.
Outside, the red candle continued to sway. Inside the curtains, they sat facing each other—one shyly lowering her head while the other reached out to lift her chin.
"My lady."
"Hubby, hubby..." The words were stuck in Ouyang Zixin's throat, and she was so anxious that she broke into a sweat.
Yun Tianmo sighed helplessly, "Well, if you don't want to..."
"No, that's not it!" Ouyang Zixin leaned forward, grasping Yun Tianmo's hands in a panic. She explained, "I just... I'm not used to it. Um, let me think... Ah, right! Don't call me 'wife'... No, that's not what I mean. Just listen to me. 'Wife' can also be called 'laopo,' and I want to call you 'hubby.' How does that sound?"
Ouyang Zixin blinked her big eyes expectantly at Yun Tianmo. She wasn't doing it on purpose; she didn't know why she couldn't bring herself to say those two words. Although 'hubby' and 'wife' meant the same thing as 'husband' and 'wife,' she wondered if Yun Tianmo would accept it.
Smart as Yun Tianmo was, he had heard strange phrases from her more than once. However, since he chose her, he didn't mind her little habits. Moreover, he found it quite nice and unique.
"Wife," Yun Tianmo said readily.
"Hubby," Ouyang Zixin sweetly responded. "Thank you for accommodating me. You know what? The terms 'hubby' and 'wife' mean that we will slowly become old grandpa and grandma together, so you can't dislike me when that time comes."
Yun Tianmo embraced Ouyang Zixin and kissed her tenderly before lifting his head and saying, "I will never dislike you, and you mustn't dislike me either."
Ouyang Zixin giggled and said, "Of course not! Even when you're old, you'll still be a very handsome old man."
Within the bed curtains, warmth and harmony enveloped the two young lovers who had finally come together as a couple. That night, they talked about so many things...
Ouyang Zixin even forgot how she fell asleep...
Until—(to be continued.)
