Hearing the sound of carriages and horses, Tang Zhou turned around.
His complexion was not very good, a bit cooler than the night breeze.
"Tang Zhou, why are you here?" Shen Zhixi got off the carriage and trotted towards him, his voice showing guilt, "Guess what I brought back, there is..."
Tang Zhou interrupted her and asked coldly: "Didn't you say you would be back soon?"
"...I'm sorry. I know I was wrong, but if I didn't lie to you like this, you would definitely not agree to let me enter the city." Shen Zhixi grabbed his arm. Since they made an appointment to get married last night, the two of them The relationship between them also changed, and it was a bit sweet like a young couple flirting.
She acted coquettishly, and Tang Zhou also softened his tone.
"I'm worried about you." He said.
"I know, you are afraid that my aunt will arrest me again when I go to the city, but don't you see that I'm back well now? Moreover, I also bought wedding clothes... I know what you mean, we The current situation is not suitable for extravagance, but it is still necessary to decorate the wedding hall, worship heaven and earth, and perform ceremonies."
Tang Zhou sighed, infected by the joy in her words.
Girls always pay attention to rituals, no matter how simple it is, it is still romantic, he understands that.
"When my injury heals, I will take you back to my home, and I will provide you with a grand wedding ceremony. For now, I can only temporarily aggrieve you."
Shen Zhixi, who was originally in a good mood, was inexplicably stung by his words.
It made her heart feel sour and sting slightly.
Tang Zhou thought she didn't believe it, that he was telling her empty words to deceive her, and was eager to explain, "Believe me, I really..."
"I believe."
Shen Zhixi turned his head, took Tang Zhou's hand and walked into the courtyard.
"Tang Zhou, I don't feel aggrieved. Swearing to the breeze and the bright moon, to the gods, is more romantic than swearing to the guests and friends who don't sincerely bless you. The heaven and earth will prove that you and I are married, and we will be together in the future. Shou doesn’t need others to understand, we just need to cherish each other.”
Tang Zhou lowered his head and walked forward, moved by Shen Zhixi's words.
In fact, he was often surprised by her.
He felt that she knew a lot, was considerate, kind and tenacious. She was more sensible than many young ladies from aristocratic families, which was really rare. If the facts hadn't been right in front of him, he would have really suspected that she was not a little village girl from the mountains at all.
After entering the room, Shen Zhixi grabbed his arms and asked again.
"You still have a chance to regret it today, but tomorrow, it will be too late for you to regret it."
Tang Zhou's big palm fell on her head, caressing her softly, "You can rest assured, I will never regret it."
"Okay." Shen Zhixi ran into his arms and hugged his waist tightly.
His broad chest was really warm, so warm that people couldn't bear to let go. She pressed against his chest and said to him: "After dinner later, I will help you prepare bath water to wash away the dust of the past and welcome tomorrow's new life."
After drinking the medicine, Shen Zhixi gave Tang Zhou a jelly bean as usual.
But Tang Zhou didn't seem to like eating jelly beans. He would not eat them every time, but he would accept them with a smile every time.
Then, he went to the bathroom.
When Shen Zhixi came in with clean clothes, Tang Zhou was already sitting naked in the tub.
"Is the water temperature still suitable?"
"Okay." Tang Zhou turned his head sideways, his cheeks reddened by the steam.
Shen Zhixi put his hand into the water. The water temperature was indeed just right. He held a clean towel in his other hand and hung it by the tub. He turned around and took down a bottle of bath essential oil from the shelf. He opened the cork and found the elegant fragrance of lily of the valley. .
I poured two drops into the bathtub, and the aroma was instantly dispersed by the hot water, making it refreshing.
"I'll rub your back."
She retrieved the towel, wetted it in the water and put it on Tang Zhou's shoulders. The rough towel rubbed against his shoulders, causing an inexplicable tingling sensation that made Tang Zhou tighten his clothes involuntarily.
They will get married tomorrow, and they will be the closest people to each other from now on.
Therefore, there is nothing wrong with her scrubbing his body, and there is no need to be taboo about it.
Even Tang Zhou was still a little nervous. The water in the tub was pure water, and his naked body would definitely let her see it thoroughly, so she would inevitably not get used to it.
Shen Zhixi was magnanimous and looked at him unscrupulously from the moment he walked in.
The two stab wounds on his chest have become scarred, and they are incompatible with the skin around him, but they are still sexy in a different way, revealing some wild beauty. Needless to say, he had strong chest and abdominal muscles, and going down... Her eyelids twitched, feeling frightened, she curled her lips and looked away, walking around behind him.
"Lily of the valley."
In order to relax himself, Tang Zhou diverted his attention.
"Huh? You say."
"After all this time, have you ever thought about knowing my true identity?"
Shen Zhixi paused, and the towel on his shoulders kept dripping. The ticking sound seemed to become the voice in her heart, and she always felt uneasy, "Why do you suddenly ask like that?"
"Because I feel guilty."
Tang Zhou looked sideways slightly, his eyes covered with long eyelashes indeed showing apology.
"We are getting married tomorrow, but you know very little about me. You don't know anything except the name 'Tang Zhou'. I know you don't want to embarrass me. If I don't tell you personally, you will never Reluctantly. But, before is before, and after is after. From now on, we will be husband and wife. I don’t think I should hide it from you. "
He didn't want to hide it, but Shen Zhixi didn't want to know.
She poured some water on him, and the water flowed down and across the scarred wound on his chest.
His body suddenly tensed up and his breathing quickened a bit.
Her mind seemed to be in chaos because of her slightly provocative movement. What she was about to say was interrupted, and she suddenly forgot what she wanted to say.
Shen Zhixi's hands continued to reach down, exploring his well-defined abdominal muscles.
She probed deeper and deeper, and when she was approaching the most private part, she was stopped by Tang Zhou urgently. He grabbed her hand, which was trembling nervously. The innocent blush spread from his cheeks to his neck, almost covering his whole body.
"Now, now, it's not good."
Shen Zhixi leaned down and laughed softly in his ear, "I'm just teasing you, don't be nervous. I just suddenly remembered that when you took off my shoes and socks that night, you said that I had seen your body. I'm not at any loss." That sentence. I just saw it but I didn’t touch and pinch it like you did. I’m still at a loss.”
"you……"
Tang Zhou choked, touching and pinching something, what she said was so ambiguous.
Obviously, it was obvious that he was just massaging her sprained ankle, but she said it seemed like he touched some untouchable place on her body.
"What about me?" Shen Zhixi pressed against his ear, asking him to answer.
"…Tomorrow." He blushed, his eyelashes fluttering, "I'll wait for the ceremony to be completed tomorrow."
His expression moved Shen Zhixi's heart, and she continued to appeal to his innocence and asked: "After the ceremony is completed tomorrow, can you touch whatever you want?"
"…Are you ashamed?"
Tang Zhou turned his head and took a deep breath to suppress his discomfort.
"Let's get down to business. Actually, I want to tell you that my real identity is not Tang..."
The rest of the words could not be said.
Shen Zhixi held his face in his hands and pressed his lips against him.
