Gu Beihuai had not expected Tang Chuxia to call him "husband," and he imdiately felt his entire body soften.
He began to feel an inexplicable restlessness stir within him.
Even the towel seed inadequate to restrain his fingers.
"Then, do I need to stop calling you ’wife’?" Gu Beihuai asked with an infinitely amorous breath.
Tang Chuxia’s gaze had already t with Gu Beihuai’s, her hair falling behind her, no longer dripping wet. Her half-dry locks casually floated over her snow-white shoulders.
Beneath her bright red pajamas, her skin was as white as snow, and in Gu Beihuai’s eyes, it was simply the most tempting sight.
His body tensed to the extre.
He wished he could eternally treasure this mont.
"Typical rugged man, do you really like to call ’wife’ that much?" Tang Chuxia’s breath was as fragrant as orchids, and as their breaths intertwined, endless affection erged, inextricably entangling all who perceived it.
The atmosphere kept rising.
Gu Beihuai felt an intense heat overtake him, and his fingers began tracing Tang Chuxia’s nape.
"If not ’wife’, what should I call you? ’Baby’?"
After uttering the words, Gu Beihuai felt he could scarcely continue—too greasy!
He didn’t think soone his age should be saying things like that.
But Tang Chuxia’s eyes crinkled with laughter as she gently kissed Gu Beihuai’s cheek.
"It’s not that it’s impossible, but I don’t want an additional ’Daddy’!"
Gu Beihuai: ...
Why did sweet nothings always lead to such mood-killing statents?
He didn’t like it.
Besides, he didn’t want to be Tang Chuxia’s ’Daddy’.
A strand of her hair fell to Gu Beihuai’s lips, which he subconsciously took between them.
Tang Chuxia, seeing Gu Beihuai not taking action, probably because she’d dampened his mood with her comnt about ’Daddy’, began to laugh.
"Do you still rember the heavy snow from the beginning of the year?"
She would have done well not to bring it up. The re ntion of it charged Gu Beihuai with gloom.
Back then, Gu Beihuai had felt nothing for Tang Chuxia, even to the point of leaving her in the snow to cool off.
"Are you listening? Do you rember or not?" Tang Chuxia’s arms clung to Gu Beihuai’s shoulders as she snuggled into his embrace.
Her entire deanor exuded a languid charm, like the noblest Persian cat—smooth and irresistible to the point of blinding.
The crucial point was, at a mont like this, Gu Beihuai’s ears were filled not with mories but with his senses of touch and sight.
The delicate and soft sensation on his shoulders inford him of how exquisite Tang Chuxia’s skin was, not to ntion her fragrance after showering.
Earlier, he hadn’t detected such a strong scent of jasmine on Tang Chuxia, but now, it was so overpowering that his senses began to whirl.
His focus started to drift.
The voice slowly faded, leaving only the instinct to touch.
"Gu Beihuai, do you know how much I wished you had been more decisive that night?"
Tang Chuxia’s voice was laden with endless reproach, as she recollected that night, it troubled her.
She had only been luxuriating in his good looks, yet this man had not only pushed her away but also left her in the cold heartlessly.
Now, only a month later, she found herself nestled again in this man’s arms, and this ti he would certainly not cast her away.
"Tell , are you even a man?"
Tang Chuxia’s accusatory tone snapped the final string in Gu Beihuai’s mind.
He enveloped her in his embrace.
"Whether I’m a man or not, isn’t that for you to verify?"
Gu Beihuai felt the mood that night was too perfect; he seed ready to transform and mature.
To beco a complete man.
Tang Chuxia, with her arms around his neck, found herself falling into the bedclothes.
"What are we waiting for?"
Gu Beihuai felt as if he were boiling over inside.
What indeed?
He did not want to wait.
The bedding was thrown back, and he slid in.
The touch of skin always made one marvel at how the most beautiful things in this world could be so addictive.
Whether it was the entwining of hair or the exchange of breath.
This night seed to carry endless depth.
Tang Chuxia felt like she was about to completely succumb to the atmosphere. Was she finally going to beco a woman?
Before a sense of triumph could take hold, just as the two of them were about to consummate their union, a piercing whistle sounded.
Both faces bore a look ready to kill.
It was the true feeling of wanting to murder soone.
Tang Chuxia wrapped her arms around Gu Beihuai, "Ignore it!"
Gu Beihuai didn’t want to care either, but the successive whistles outside were hard to ignore.
Tang Chuxia was grinding her teeth; she really disliked being interrupted at a ti like this.
She wanted to ’eat at.’
Gu Beihuai was no better off, but once the mood was broken, it was hard to revive.
Gu Beihuai had no choice but to pull back the covers, "You sleep, I’ll go see what’s going on!"
In the middle of the night, there had to be a reason; otherwise, he might kill soone.
Tang Chuxia collapsed onto the bed, quite helpless. There seed to be no better option than to just let things be.
She didn’t just lie there doing nothing; after Gu Beihuai left, she got dressed and went to the door, seeing that all her neighbors had turned on their lights and were coming out of their houses.
Tang Chuxia saw Madam Tang and Mrs. Gu from next door.
"What’s going on?"
Tang Chuxia yawned and leaned on Madam Tang’s shoulder, clearly displaying the deflation of having been interrupted, completely lacking any spirit.
Madam Tang patted her daughter’s forehead, "Why did you co out?"
Tang Chuxia pointed in the direction the whistles ca from, "Can’t sleep!"
Madam Tang responded with a hum, just as Auntie Fatty walked by, clanging a copper gong.
"Listen up, everyone, sothing has happened to Quan City’s moat, the water is backflowing. We urgently need people to repair the moat. Party mbers should actively cooperate and sign up first; anyone holding a public position should go and follow the arrangents!"
Auntie Fatty’s voice bood, continuing to shout.
To the people of Quan City, the moat was indeed a very important part of their community.
Tang Chuxia had not expected to hear such a thing; in her understanding, wasn’t the moat sothing from feudal tis, a defense needed only in tis of battle?
Why was there a backflow incident in the moat now?
Especially since there wasn’t any torrential rain!
But what Tang Chuxia didn’t know was that upstream of the moat that Quan City’s water joined, there had been a flood.
The water surged towards them.
Other rivers too were uncontrollable and backflowed into the moat.
At this point, every second was vital; there was no ti for temper tantrums.
Gu Beihuai ran back and confird this.
"I have to go to the outskirts and help repair the moat. Wait for at ho!"
Gu Beihuai pulled Tang Chuxia and rushed back to their bridal chamber, holding her close as he gave instructions.
Tang Chuxia managed an "Ah," not expecting Gu Beihuai to leave so abruptly.
"Then be careful. If it doesn’t work out, co back first!"
Repairing the moat was not a problem; the fear was being swept away by the rushing floodwaters. People could easily drown if they choked on water.
Gu Beihuai seriously asked Tang Chuxia, "If I die, will you remarry?"
