Chapter 50 Wedding (Part 2)

Zhang Meng was not forced to drink by people, but was directly kicked into the bridal chamber by the constable sisters.

“Zhang Meng! Enjoy your wedding night! Leave the drinking to us!”

Zhang Meng stumbled and steadied herself against the table. Just as she turned around to speak, the door was slammed shut, and soon the sound of locking came from outside.

Zhang Meng’s face stiffened, and she rushed to the door, banging on it: “Come back! Unlock the door from outside!”

But their laughter and footsteps grew fainter, probably walking away.

Now only she and Xu Lu Cha were left in the bridal chamber. Zhang Meng felt her scalp tingling.

“Zhang Meng.” Xu Lu Cha’s gentle voice sounded.

He sat on the bed in red attire, with a red veil covering his head. His jade-like skin and delicate features could be vaguely seen.

Zhang Meng suddenly felt nervous, slowly walking towards him.

Xu Lu Cha was even more nervous. His hands resting on his knees stiffly clenched and relaxed, repeating several times, until Zhang Meng lifted the light veil in front of him, and his heart suspended in mid-air suddenly skipped a beat.

Zhang Meng saw Xu Lu Cha’s face and was slightly stunned.

His eyes were like autumn waters, with slightly upturned corners revealing a hint of allure. His cherry lips were red, and his cheeks were tinged with a faint blush.

Having been accustomed to seeing Xu Lu Cha’s pure and otherworldly appearance, Zhang Meng was surprised to see him now with flushed cheeks and alluring eyes.

If the previous Xu Lu Cha could be compared to a secluded orchid in a valley, pure and otherworldly, to be admired from afar but not to be trifled with.

The current Xu Lu Cha was like a fully bloomed rose, quietly exuding fragrance, tempting and waiting to be picked.

Zhang Meng coughed awkwardly: “Lu Cha.”

Xu Lu Cha responded with a soft “Mm.” He had specially asked Zi Yi to request the yamen people to help Zhang Meng avoid drinking, allowing her to return early.

Now Zhang Meng was right in front of him, but he was so nervous that his heart was pounding. He didn’t know where his past self found the courage to drug Zhang Meng and engage in intimacy with her.

Seeing that Xu Lu Cha dared not look up at her, Zhang Meng felt some of her nervousness dissipate.

“Lu Cha, are you hungry? Let’s eat something.”

Xu Lu Cha nodded slightly.

The table was set with pastries and tea. There was no custom of drinking from the same cup here, so no wine was prepared. Zhang Meng couldn’t even have a drink to bolster her courage.

After silently eating some snacks for a while, both of them had filled their stomachs.

Xu Lu Cha stopped eating and looked at Zhang Meng with burning eyes full of expectation. When Zhang Meng raised her head to look at him, he shyly averted his gaze.

Zhang Meng silently lowered her head. Even though her stomach was already full, she still ate the snacks to delay time.

Before the wedding, she didn’t feel any nervousness when facing Xu Lu Cha. But in the past few days, the sisters from the yamen had been constantly telling her about the details to pay attention to on the wedding night.

To take the initiative to kiss the man, to give the man gentle caresses, to guide the man appropriately in bed, otherwise she would be tired.

Zhang Meng felt both embarrassed and nervous listening to this. Now that Xu Lu Cha was by her side, if the door hadn’t been locked, she would probably have rushed out.

Xu Lu Cha poured tea for Zhang Meng and moved the cup in front of her.

Zhang Meng took the cup: “Thank you.” She took a sip of the tea. The tea was slightly hot, and the slightly bitter taste stimulated her taste buds. Zhang Meng frowned and put down the cup.

Xu Lu Cha shyly glanced at Zhang Meng and asked, “Zhang Meng, did you sleep well last night?”

He was too nervous and joyful, tossing and turning all night, unable to sleep. But even though he hadn’t slept all night, he was still very energetic when facing Zhang Meng now.

Zhang Meng looked up at him and smiled in response: “I slept very well.” After being lectured by the yamen people for almost a day about things to pay attention to during the wedding, she had fallen asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.

Xu Lu Cha’s beautiful eyes like water paused slightly, and he said softly, “That’s good.”

Although he was happy that Zhang Meng slept well, he still felt somewhat dejected inside.

Zhang Meng didn’t care about him as much as he cared about her.

Xu Lu Cha lowered his eyes, feeling a bit aggrieved: “I didn’t sleep well, I couldn’t sleep all night. I’m very tired and want to rest.”

No matter what, Zhang Meng should show some pity for him. Since they had both finished eating, he now wanted to be intimate with her, so he wanted to go to bed to rest soon. The red string tied below was making him uncomfortable, and he wanted Zhang Meng to help him untie it.

Zhang Meng’s hand holding the pastry paused. She remembered the sisters from the yamen telling her that if the groom complained of being tired, she should never pester him for intimacy. A woman should know how to cherish and pity her husband.

Feeling slightly relieved, to be honest, Zhang Meng wasn’t ready to do that with him. Avoiding it for now was for the best.

Zhang Meng smiled and said, “If Lu Cha is tired, you can go to bed and rest first.”

Xu Lu Cha’s heart skipped a beat, and his jade-like handsome face instantly turned red.

“Alright.” He responded in a voice as soft as a mosquito’s, almost eagerly standing up and quickly walking towards the bed.

But when he reached the bedside, he secretly cursed himself for not being reserved enough. He should have walked slowly to the bedside.

He slowly sat on the bed, his face flushed as he raised his hand to undo his clothes. The red garment quickly fell off, leaving him nearly naked with a sheer gauze wrapped around his body, his chest’s red points faintly visible.

The transparent gauze could hardly conceal the view between his legs.

He didn’t have much body hair, and that area was also fair and delicate.

A red string was tied in a pretty bow there, which Zhang Meng could easily untie with a gentle pull.

Just as Xu Lu Cha had removed his red garment, he suddenly realized that his wife-master should be the one to help him undress. He quickly looked up at Zhang Meng, and seeing that she wasn’t looking his way, he secretly sighed in relief and hurriedly put his wedding clothes back on.

His current appearance was truly not reserved enough, almost to the point of being licentious. Xu Lu Cha secretly berated himself.

“Zhang Meng…” He sat on the bed waiting for a while, and seeing that Zhang Meng still hadn’t come over, he called out to her softly.

“Hm?” Zhang Meng turned her head, saw that Xu Lu Cha hadn’t slept yet, and smiled gently at him: “Lu Cha, you sleep first. I’m not tired yet.”

When Xu Lu Cha heard her words, he became anxious. Was she not planning to be intimate with him?

“Zhang Meng, aren’t we going to consummate the marriage?” Xu Lu Cha almost stammered out these words.

As soon as the words left his mouth, Xu Lu Cha’s face felt as if it had been scorched by fire, burning hot.

Zhang Meng was slightly taken aback, her face also reddening a bit. She coughed dryly: “Another day, perhaps. You didn’t sleep all night, so rest well now.”

Hearing her words, Xu Lu Cha was so anxious that he wanted to dance a few fan dances in front of her, and even dance naked, to prove that he was very energetic and didn’t need rest at all. Moreover, he very much wanted her to press him down on the bed, kiss him, caress him, and…

“Zhang Meng, I’m fine…” No matter how anxious he felt inside, in front of Zhang Meng, he always had to maintain a reserved and gentle image.

Zhang Meng stood up, walked to the bedside, leaned down, and gently pressed a kiss on Xu Lu Cha’s forehead.

“Lu Cha, don’t force yourself. Go to sleep quickly.”

The gentle kiss fell on Xu Lu Cha’s forehead, and his whole body stiffened. This was the first time Zhang Meng had kissed him on her own initiative while sober. Xu Lu Cha’s heart not only melted into a puddle of water, but his body also became completely soft. He obediently lay down on the bed following Zhang Meng’s gesture and closed his eyes.

After Zhang Meng walked away, he still dazedly touched his forehead with his hand.

It wasn’t completely dark yet. Usually at this time, Zhang Meng would go out to practice martial arts, but now locked in this room with nothing to do, she was very bored.

She cleaned up the snack plates on the table and swept the red petals on the floor into a pile. After tidying up the room, she hesitated for a moment, but still took off her outer clothes and lay down beside Xu Lu Cha.

Xu Lu Cha’s breathing suddenly became heavier. He hadn’t fallen asleep, and now with Zhang Meng lying next to him, his whole body started to heat up.

“Zhang Meng, blow out the candles.” Xu Lu Cha turned his head to look at Zhang Meng, his beautiful eyes like water rippling with allure.

“Alright.” Zhang Meng got up and blew out the candles. The room suddenly darkened, almost to the point where one couldn’t see their hand in front of their face. But Zhang Meng was very familiar with her room and quickly managed to walk to the bedside and lay down.

However, as soon as she lay down, her body stiffened involuntarily. She had accidentally touched a patch of bare, warm skin.

Xu Lu Cha let out a muffled groan and said softly, “Zhang Meng, I felt very hot, so I took off my clothes.”

“…Oh.” Zhang Meng responded.

“I took off my pants too.” Xu Lu Cha paused for a moment, speaking very shyly, his voice almost inaudible.

“…”

Zhang Meng felt like she was being teased.

“Zhang Meng, my back is a bit itchy, and I can’t reach it. Can you scratch it for me?” Perhaps emboldened by the dark atmosphere, Xu Lu Cha’s courage suddenly grew.

“…Alright.” Zhang Meng hesitated for a moment but still agreed.

Zhang Meng fumbled to scratch Xu Lu Cha’s back. His skin was smooth and delicate, feeling extremely good to touch, and his muscle lines were also very beautifully flowing.

Xu Lu Cha breathed lightly, and Zhang Meng didn’t understand why he was breathing like that when she was just scratching an itch for him.

Xu Lu Cha turned to face her and said softly, “My thigh is itchy too…”

“…” Zhang Meng wanted to say that if his thigh was itchy, he could scratch it himself, but Xu Lu Cha had already grabbed her hand and placed it on the inside of his smooth thigh.

Zhang Meng’s hand stiffened, but she still gritted her teeth and scratched it for him.

Xu Lu Cha’s breathing quickened, and he said hoarsely, “A little higher, a little higher…” Zhang Meng moved her hand up a bit, but Xu Lu Cha was still not satisfied: “Not there, even higher…” Seeing that Zhang Meng didn’t move, he directly put Zhang Meng’s hand on his upper thigh.

His hot and hard thing suddenly poked Zhang Meng’s hand. Xu Lu Cha let out a muffled groan, secretly thinking that no matter what kind of woman, they are all lustful. He had already gone to such lengths, surely Zhang Meng, even if shy, would not be able to resist the temptation and would fiercely love him…

But to his surprise, Zhang Meng just scratched his upper thigh a bit and then withdrew her hand.

“Lu Cha, go to sleep quickly. I’m tired too.” After saying this, she turned over, facing away from Xu Lu Cha, and closed her eyes.

Xu Lu Cha’s blazing desire and passion seemed to have been doused by a bucket of cold water, extinguished completely.

He cried with grievance, his heart feeling as if a large stone was pressing on it, both stuffy and painful. He turned over angrily, no longer wanting to pay attention to Zhang Meng.

He untied the red string tied below and slowly put on his pants. The wedding night he had looked forward to for so long had ended like this. What was the point of his sleepless nights before the wedding, studying the affairs between men and women? Zhang Meng didn’t need his pleasing…

Zhang Meng heard his low sobbing and felt extremely conflicted. Even if she was slow, she now knew that Xu Lu Cha wanted to consummate the marriage with her. Although she knew this and didn’t dislike it herself, she just couldn’t get over her own hurdle.

She did have good feelings for Xu Lu Cha. During the ten days before the wedding, Xu Lu Cha had been completely obedient to her, using his true heart to be good to her. She might even like him a little, but far from enough to consummate the marriage with him.

Zhang Meng hesitated for a moment, but still turned around and gently wrapped her arms around his waist.

Xu Lu Cha’s body stiffened, and he didn’t speak.

Zhang Meng tightened her arms, pulling him into her embrace, and kissed his slender neck.

“Sleep now, Lu Cha. We’ll make up for the wedding night another day.” When she truly falls in love with him, she will no longer refuse his intimacy.
