Chapter 6

06

After Lu Zhi drank, there were some things that she didn’t remember. Although she recalled pieces of it, she didn’t remember it completely. But the way her body was feeling after waking up told her that she was very comfortable and happy last night.

Ling He had gone to work. She reached for her cell phone next to her bed and forced her eyes open.

There were many unread messages. She first clicked Ling He’s message.

—There is shredded ginger and fish soup in the kitchen. It can help with the hangover.

It was so concise, and followed proper grammar.

Lu Zhi had to laugh. She didn’t know why. She didn’t want to just say thank you to Ling He, so she sent a sticker with cats shooting hearts.

Lu Zhi originally thought that they would be the kind of husband and wife who respected each other as guests. Even if they needed to perform some marital obligations, she thought that they would do it in a strict businesslike way and sleep separately after they were finished. But it didn’t seem like that last night.

Lu Zhi vaguely remembered that she and Ling He were very intimate last night. He always pestered her for a kiss, and was unwilling to let go when they did kiss. It was like they were really true newlyweds, and he held her as they fell asleep.

All of this exceeded the courteous atmosphere she had imagined at the beginning.

She began to not know how she would face Ling He. She knew very well how aggressive she was after drinking. She didn’t think she would be so reserved when she saw Ling He’s body under the alcohol’s influence last night.

Although she had been in love many times, she had never been so reserved in bed. She was always given pleasure and would come. However, the feeling Ling He gave her always felt a little special. At first, she thought he was boring. Later, she discovered that teasing him was the most amusing thing she could do—and she didn’t want to scare him away so early.

However, she was not the only one who enjoyed what had happened last night. Ling He seemed to have enjoyed it, too.

As Lu Zhi reached this thought, she was relieved and stopped thinking about it.

Lu Zhi was simple and never bothered with anything for more than ten minutes. She stayed at home and edited videos for the whole day. At five o’clock in the afternoon, she received Ling He’s message asking her to go to the hospital with him to see his father. It was then that she suddenly remembered that she still had a husband.

Ling He’s father, Ling Zhao, had been ill in the hospital. Lu Zhi learned from Ling He’s mother that Ling He used to work in the space agency. Last year, he returned to his hometown because his father suddenly became seriously ill. He even quit his job there and moved over here. Then, he started working in the planetarium.

Lu Zhi guessed that his father’s illness was probably the reason why he was in a rush to get married.

Ling He’s mother, Meng Jun, had spoken to her with regret. She always felt that they had burdened Ling He. At that time, Lu Zhi thought that it was better to not say anything, so she just squeezed her hand to console her.

Since she was married to Ling He, it was necessary to visit his father in the hospital.

She put on some light makeup that was appropriate for meeting the parents, and wore a long skirt and a wool jacket. It made her look much more mature and poise than usual.

Ling He was waiting for her in the underground garage. The moment she saw Ling He, those fragrant, but erotic memories of last night came to mind.

She saw how calm and collected Ling He appeared, so she just got into his car. Everyone was an adult now. In any case, they both got what they needed, so there’s nothing to be ashamed of.

“What does uncle like to eat? I’ll buy some flowers and fruits later,” she said as she fastened her seat belt.

Ling He pulled his sleeves a little under his elbow when he started driving. The veins on his arms were distinct, and Lu Zhi had to take a look a couple of times.

“It’s fine, I’ve bought everything.”

Lu Zhi calmed down. It’s good that he bought it. She didn’t have to worry about it any more. She silently gave Ling He another point in her heart.

Ling He’s father was lying in the hospital bed. His complexion did not seem well, but Lu Zhi could still tell from his features that he must have been handsome when he was young.

Lu Zhi had always been very popular with the elders, and she cheered on Ling Zhao with her drawn out “daaad”.

Ling Zhao held his daughter-in-law’s hand in satisfaction, and suddenly said, “Oh, Xiao Lu, please don’t dislike our Ling He. I’m the one to blame for delaying him…”

Ling He handed him the peeled tangerine and interrupted, “Dad.”

Ling Zhao took over tangerine and waved his hand. “Okay, okay, I won’t say anything.”

Lu Zhi said with a smile, “Dad, do you think Ling He would have met me if he didn’t come back?”

Ling Zhao smiled and replied, “Yes.”

When they were driving back in the evening, Lu Zhi looked at the night scenery passing through the window. The city buildings were average, and could not compare with the prosperous ones in the big cities.

She took a look at Ling He, who was driving seriously. “Uncle’s condition is stable now. Do you really not regret giving up everything over there?”

Ling He glanced at her and didn’t answer. Instead, he asked, “Why are you calling him uncle again?”

Lu Zhi’s finger traced the pattern on the bag. “I’m not used to it.”

The smile wrinkles at the corner of Ling He’s eyes showed. “Didn’t you just say it very naturally just now?”

She responded frankly, “It was to please the elders.”

Yes, Ling He found out very early on that no one could resist Lu Zhi if she seriously wanted to please someone.

Ling He smiled and answered her question, “I don’t regret it.”

Lu Zhi nodded. “People should not be too greedy. You win some and you lose some.”

After she finished, she proudly raised her eyebrow and asked, “Don’t you think I sound like an intellectual?”

Ling He resisted the urge to pinch her and smiled. “Mhm.”

They arrived at the front door. When they were about to enter, Ling He took Lu Zhi’s hand, which was trying to enter the code. Lu Zhi turned to look at him with some confusion.

“Let’s take down your fingerprints.”

He just stood behind her as if he was hugging her from behind and was working on the door lock. Lu Zhi felt that she was surrounded by his scent.

“Which finger do you want to use?”

Lu Zhi held out her thumb, and he took it. His thumb covered her thumb and he pressed it into the sensor.

Lu Zhi felt his breath on her ear, and could not hear what the instructions were saying. She just let Ling He hold her hand and input her fingerprint.

“It’s done.”

When he spoke, it felt like his lips had brushed against her ear. She shamefully felt a warmth emerge in her lower abdomen.

She turned her head, and just so happened to look into his eyes. He was still holding her hand. He pressed her thumb to the sensor, and the door opened with a “click”.

Lu Zhi took the chance to lift his chin and kissed it.

He reacted quickly. He took her by the waist and walked into the room. He turned around and pressed her against the door. Their hot breath mingled, and his lips and their tongues licked each other.

Lu Zhi’s jacket was taken off and it fell to the ground. He pulled on the zipper from the back of her dress. His hand reached her back and he stroked it. He tore off the shoulder part, which revealed her smooth shoulders, and he kissed it firmly. Her loose dress also fell to the ground.

He was already hard. Lu Zhi reached down to untie his belt with one hand and she pulled down his pants zipper. Her movements were very skilled.

Ling He paused. Naturally, he knew how much experience she had to do it so smoothly.

He wanted to ask her how many men’s belts she had untied, but he thought that how they were now was really good. She was in his home right now, in front of him, and that was already wonderful.

People couldn’t be too greedy.

He suppressed his jealousy, but the gentle kisses suddenly became much stronger, causing Lu Zhi to gasp.

Lu Zhi was wearing only a bra and underwear. He fingered her private part through her underwear, and groped her breasts that were wrapped under the black lace bra. Part of the roundness leaked out. He lowered his head and took a big suck.

Two red marks were quickly left on the white milky breasts. He reached behind to unhook her bra, but he had no experience. After trying and failing several times, he started becoming frustrated.

Lu Zhi smiled. She reached back with one hand and easily unhooked it. She joked, “How can a good student not even know this?”

He didn’t respond. He leaned over to block her lips. Then, he picked her up with one arm and took her to the sofa.
