In newly wed's cottage…
Jiang Yuyan and Lu Qiang had lunch and got out of the cottage to get fresh air around. As Jiang Yuyan was in bed for a long time, it bored her. Outside of the was cottage covered with a huge lawn and the ornamental plants which were blooming with the colorful flowers everywhere. The place was at a height so it was calm and the cool breeze could make one feel fresh and peaceful.
"Nice place it is." Jiang Yuyan said, looking around and walking along with Lu Qiang.
"It's a gift for both of us from Lu Feng and Jiang Yang," Lu Qiang said.
"This cottage?" Jiang Yuyan asked surprisingly.
Nodding he replied, "Yes! They sure know what you like."
"So this was the gift, brother Yang was talking about. This beautiful place," she said looking around with content expressions as the place was so beautiful.
"Were you expecting to get a gift that your brother said?" Lu Qiang asked.
The pleasant expressions on her face changed to the shy one. "No. I…" Suddenly she thought about something and asked, "Wait...how do you know what exactly brother Yang said?"
Knowing it would shock her, smiling he asked, "Did he say he will gift condoms?"
Jiang Yuyan gave out a deep sigh and said, "You and your friends are all the same."
Lu Qiang nodded slightly. "That's true. By the way, I can get it myself a year-long supply. They need not gift me."
"But we didn't use...cough...weren't you worried I might get ...pregnant…?"
"Because these are safe days for you," he said confidently.
It shocked her again. "Huh? How come you know about this?"
"I am good at remembering dates and calculating things," Lu Qiang replied and Jiang Yuyan just smiled, not knowing what to say. "In the future, I don't have to worry about these things as you are there to think about it."
"Hmm!" Seeing her still sauntering, he asked, "still can't walk?"
Nodding, she replied, "Yesterday, the whole day went as standing, greeting, dancing and all so my feet must have given up."
"Or is it because of what we did last night for the first time?" He asked, having a teasing smile on his lips.
"Cough!"
"I am worried you won't be able to walk properly from now on."
"I will get used to it."
Walking they reached the side where they could see the city ahead, brightened with sunlight and a river making its way through it. Standing there, Lu Qiang held her hand. Both were looking at it calmly. Lu Qiang looked at her brightened face that was radiating in the sunlight and wanted to touch and caress it, but he stopped and continued looking ahead.
Though Jiang Yuyan was not looking at him, she sensed it and looked at him. Turning to face him, she tiptoed and kissed him. "You don't have to stop yourself and it's my order as your wife."
"I was just worried that I might trouble you again," He said caressing her cheeks.
Smiling and looking into his eyes with her bright and cheerful ones, she said, "I would like to get troubled by you."
"Doctor asked me to let you rest for a few days," he said, and Jiang Yuyan felt bad to hear it. "I am sorry to ruin our sweet time after a wedding."
Kissing her on the forehead, he said, "You need not be sorry as we will get this sweet time for long now and you might get bored with it."
"I won't get bored."
"Then get better soon and we can continue it."
"I am already better so…"
"Don't tempt me, Mrs. Lu."
"I know my body well, Mr. Lu."
The way she was looking at him, blinking her eyes as if asking him to do it, it was hard for him to control so he averted his sight and looked in the city's direction. "Don't look at me like this."
"Why?"
"Because I might ignore what the doctor said and I really don't want to do it."
"Is kissing allowed?" she asked.
Nodding he looked at her and couldn't control himself from kissing her. Kissing for a while he parted away and said, "This much enough till you get better."
"But….."
"Shhh! If you want us to have that sweet time soon, then wait for a while."
"Okay!" Sighing she said, "We must be the first newly wedded couple, who are spending time outside instead of inside the bedroom."
"Wait for a while. Later you will ask me to let you out of the bedroom."
Both spent their time outside on the lawn, talking and discussing the things while sitting in the chairs outside. Suddenly Lu Qiang asked, "Is there anything that is bothering you?"
"Why do you ask?"
"Just. If it is, then you can tell me."
"It's nothing important and I don't want to talk about it."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes!"
"Okay! But if there is something, I will expect you to come to me first," he said and Jiang Yuyan agreed. "You and brother Yang can always see through me. I wonder how my life would have been without both of you."
"Don't wonder because we will trouble you till your hair turns grey," Lu Qiang said.
"I want both of you to keep doing it."
In the night after having dinner, Lu Qiang and Jiang Yuyan both were sitting on the sofa watching a romantic movie. A romantic scene was playing on it, where the lead actors were kissing and leading the things towards the steamy ones.
Lu Qiang was watching it, but there was no change in his expressions while Yuyan felt hot. She looked at him and asked, "Am I the only one feeling hot here?"
"Picking up the remote control of the AC, Lu Qiang lowered down the temperature and asked casually as if he didn't get what she meant. "Is it fine now?"
"Not fine at all," she replied sulking a bit. "You don't even want to understand me"
Exhaling through the mouth as if he was holding his breath to suppress his feelings, he said, "I understand you but you know….."
