Thirteenth Lady's Comback: Her Everyday Life as a Bystander Chapter 222 - 9: Communication Is Key

When Susu woke up, her mind was still a bit fuzzy. She sleepily reached out beside her pillow, wanting to find her pocket watch to see what ti it was. But after groping around without success, she had to open her eyes, and by now, the sky was already bright.

Upon opening her eyes, Susu saw the bright red embroidered canopy with double happiness and mandarin ducks above her, scattered with pogranate blossom patterns, and she finally rembered she got married and had transford from a girl to a young woman.

As for the wedding night, Hong Sheng, that "restrained guy," really did a number on her!

Susu had already gone through the top ten tortures of the late Qing dynasty in her mind for Hong Sheng. Indeed, n aren’t necessarily honest even in bed.

Luckily, Susu’s body wasn’t as weak as it seed. It didn’t hurt too much, and she felt dry and clean. She had even changed into a new set of pajamas, and even the bed sheets underneath were new.

Susu hoped in her heart that Hong Sheng did all this himself, as she would be too embarrassed to face anyone if the maid had taken care of it.

At this mont, the sound of a door opening could be heard. Although the person entering was moving very quietly, Susu’s keen ears caught it. Listening to the footsteps, it was that rascal Hong Sheng.

Hong Sheng also knew he had gone a bit overboard last night, but you have to understand a 22-year-old virgin, especially when the little wife is so stunningly beautiful, with a body as soft as water. How could he not give it his all?

If it weren’t for the fact that Hong Sheng was accustod to getting up at a fixed ti for training in the army, today, he might really have neglected his morning responsibilities.

Hong Sheng thought back to his early morning workout and saw those drinking buddies who were drunkenly tired from yesterday, risin’ with sleepy eyes to watch and tease him with surprise.

They had originally planned to wake up late and mock Hong Sheng for being "sore and weak."

Now seeing Hong Sheng still getting up at the sa ti as when he was in the army, they all gave him weird looks, the aning obvious, "Could it be you’re not up to it?"

It made Hong Sheng so angry he nearly spat blood, exclaiming, "Friends like this are no good!"

"Co on, co on, see if I’m really not up to it!"

After once again teaching these buddies a lesson with his martial prowess, Hong Sheng turned and planned to take a cold shower. As he turned his head, his face uncontrollably reddened.

He had worked too hard yesterday, nearly embarrassing himself in front of those guys, barely managing to bluff his way through.

Leng Xiao, who was known for his careful observation, noted Hong Sheng’s slightly wobbly steps and chuckled twice, "Prideful but suffering for it!"

Nevertheless, recalling Boss Hong’s young wife, even the most indifferent among them couldn’t help but feel a twinge of envy and excitent.

Yesterday, though they drank a lot, their minds were sowhat clear, and they took the opportunity to really envy Boss Hong.

Not to ntion that little lady was loaded with dowry; even without it, anyone would be willing to marry her. So even said they wouldn’t mind becoming a "live-in son-in-law."

Although Leng Xiao also thought this way in his heart, bandying about the na of such a pure and virtuous lady among these rough n felt insulting to her.

So Leng Xiao let out a few cold laughs, "Wash up and go to sleep, dreaming with your eyes wide open!"

After Hong Sheng bathed, knowing his wife was still asleep, he felt a twinge of guilt. He had overdone it a bit yesterday. He specially went to the kitchen, asking for a pot of old hen red dates soup, and nonchalantly inquired with Lin Sheng’s wife about what Susu liked to eat. He ordered a big table full before heading back to the room with satisfaction.

As for embarrassnt, in the army, in a place where even sows were considered beauties like Diao Chan, Hong Sheng had heard countless jokes and anecdotes. His face had long been trained to an extraordinary thickness, bar feeling shy only when facing his little wife. As for others? Ha, they think too much!

Hong Sheng thought he had stealthily entered the room, secretly considering whether to pretend he hadn’t gotten up yet so he could snuggle with his wife a bit more in bed.

Who knew that as soon as he turned past the screen in front of the bed in the bedroom, he’d see his wife staring at him with bright, star-like eyes.

Reflexively, Hong Sheng was about to give a silly smile when he saw his wife glance at him, then "plop" back onto the bed, looking soft and weak. He quickly approached.

"It’s still early; you continue to lie down for a while!"

This was the pinnacle of brazenly lying with eyes wide open.

Then, Hong Sheng rubbed his hands, and Susu could see a slight flush on his face. He said, "Are you in a lot of pain? I’m sorry, I’ll be gentler next ti!"

After everything ended yesterday, he had soone wash Susu and change her clothes, stuffing the ssy sheets under the bed before letting anyone co in to tidy up.

But all this fuss and Susu hadn’t woken up; she was truly exhausted.

He also specifically checked on his little wife’s delicate area, seeing it swollen, and at that mont, he wished he could slap himself.
