He was exhausted.

s.h.i.+ Xiaoya stared at him quietly for a while. She wanted to kiss him but was worried that she might awaken him with the kiss.

She suppressed the thought and slowly moved away the hand that was on her waist before getting up quietly.

s.h.i.+ Xiaoya then closed the bedroom door and washed up in the bathroom outside, worrying that she might make a lot of noise and wake Han Zhuoling up.

After she had tidied herself up, she started preparing food.

She washed and cut the ingredients.

And now, she just needed to wait for Han Zhuoling to wake up.

Coincidentally, once s.h.i.+ Xiaoya had prepared everything, Han Zhuoling woke up.

He had the habit of pulling the person sleeping beside him back into his arms. This was what he would do every morning before he would even open his eyes.

After all, people normally turn when they have fallen asleep.

Han Zhuoling had barely woken up and felt terrible as there was nothing in his arms.

Normally, he would get a warm and nice hug.

However, this time, even after stretching his arms and searching everywhere on the bed with his eyes closed, he couldn’t touch Xiaoya.

Eventually, Han Zhuoling opened his eyes.

He looked and saw that the s.p.a.ce beside him was empty.

He felt cold in this hot summer.

“This girl woke up early,” Han Zhuoling said before he sat up.

He lowered his head and rubbed his face with his hands before he became fully awake.

He then washed up.

He changed out of his pajamas and into more comfortable house clothes before leaving the bedroom.

He then went downstairs.

There was no sight of s.h.i.+ Xiaoya in the living room.

He then heard a noise in the kitchen and followed the sound.

At this moment, s.h.i.+ Xiaoya had prepared the ingredients. She had washed and cut everything.

s.h.i.+ Xiaoya still had her back facing the door.

While she was not prepared, Han Zhuoling took a step forward and held her from behind.

s.h.i.+ Xiaoya’s height only reached Han Zhuoling’s chin.

Her entire body was wrapped up in his arms.

It felt good to have her completely in his arms.

She was just too skinny.

Even when he had her completely in his arms, Han Zhuoling still felt unsatisfied.

He lowered his head and buried his face into her hair, sniffing the scent of it.

Her hair smelled very good.

They used the same shampoo and conditioner. It should have the same smell as his hair.

However, the smell of her hair was just very different.

He also loved the scent of her body.

s.h.i.+ Xiaoya was startled.

However, they were the only two in the house.

Therefore, s.h.i.+ Xiaoya was startled for a second before she relaxed again.

Even when she tilted her head slightly, she barely saw half of Han Zhuoling’s face.

“Why are you awake so early?” s.h.i.+ Xiaoya asked.

Han Zhuoling didn’t wear his watch at home.

However, he had checked the time when he woke up. And so, he said, “It is already noon. It is not early anymore. The first day of our marriage was unpleasant. We must not sleep away the second day of our marriage.”

As he spoke, she could smell the minty scent of his breath. It felt good.

s.h.i.+ Xiaoya stood on her toes, but she still couldn’t reach his lips.

And so, she pouted her lips at him.

Han Zhuoling immediately understood and he lowered his head to kiss her.

The angle that s.h.i.+ Xiaoya’s head had turned made her feel slightly uncomfortable. Han Zhuoling then held her waist and rotated her.

And now, she was facing him.

Han Zhuoling held her and spun around, letting her lean on a clean bar counter before he lowered his head and went in for another kiss.

s.h.i.+ Xiaoya did not even know how she was eventually held and placed on the bar counter.

“Should we go back to the room?” Han Zhuoling said in a hoa.r.s.e voice.

s.h.i.+ Xiaoya felt her ears burning hot.

When she heard what Han Zhuoling said, her mind went blank.

It was noon and it was hot outside.

Even with the curtains drawn, it was still bright in the house.

s.h.i.+ Xiaoya felt very embarra.s.sed.

“We just woke up,” s.h.i.+ Xiaoya said in a soft and weak voice.

“What we’ll be doing in the room has nothing to do with sleep anyway.” Han Zhuoling chuckled and said, “It has to do with doing you.”

s.h.i.+ Xiaoya was speechless. “…”

Was this man saying a s.e.x joke?

s.h.i.+ Xiaoya was so fl.u.s.tered that she did not know what to do.

At this moment, someone’s stomach growled.

The two looked down. s.h.i.+ Xiaoya realized that it was her stomach that growled.

Han Zhuoling chuckled and asked, “Are you hungry?”

As of now, s.h.i.+ Xiaoya could not even bother with the embarra.s.sment caused by the punny joke. She let out a sigh of relief and answered, “I just prepared the ingredients. I was going to make lunch before you woke up.”

Han Zhuoling sighed and placed her down sadly.

“Then we can eat first…”

s.h.i.+ Xiaoya thought to herself, was this man planning to complete the wedding night that they had missed right now?

“Then, what about tonight’s…” s.h.i.+ Xiaoya said.

“Tonight’s what?” Han Zhuoling teased, asking as if he had no idea what she was going to say.

s.h.i.+ Xiaoya knew that he was teasing her. She sulked and ignored him.

“Hmph!

“I don’t care if you want it or not!

“I am not the one worrying about this anyway.”

When Han Zhuoling saw this, he immediately stopped while things were still good.
