Xiao Dan's Gentleness

"Alright, it's okay," Li Yang comforted her softly. Xiao Dan then boldly started to liven up again, like a bridesmaid, no longer following Li Yang, enjoying herself greatly. After finishing the procedures at home, a large group of people headed towards the hotel. Li Yang was instructed by his mother to stay behind, lock the house, and be the last one to leave. Xiao Dan had already gone to the hotel with the bride's team.

His father was also dressed very smartly today. He had slowly become a bit senile over the years, but perhaps due to his son's wedding happiness, his father was unusually normal today and quite amiable when interacting with people.

As Li Yang watched the parents of both sides drink tea on the stage, a scene of him and Yue Xiaodan on the wedding stage in the near future seemed to appear in his mind. Unconsciously, tears welled up in his eyes; he was too engrossed.

Just as he was feeling sentimental, a fragrant breeze landed on his back. The playful Yue Xiaodan, ignoring the gazes of the surrounding crowd, clung to Li Yang's back, whining that she was exhausted, her forehead covered in fine beads of sweat.

Li Yang tenderly wiped her forehead with his hand. "Rest, don't run around anymore. It's almost time for the big feast," Li Yang said, pretending to scold her, returning to his usual calm demeanor.

"Hubby, I want to get married too," Xiao Dan whispered secretly in Li Yang's ear.

"Alright then, I'll go propose to your family another day. Is a hundred yuan enough?" Li Yang teased with a smile.

"Money isn't necessary, just provide food and lodging," Xiao Dan said playfully, sticking out her tongue cutely.

After a while, the feast began. Xiao Dan sat at the same table as Li Yang, his father, and his mother, and they chatted happily from time to time.

"Xiao Dan, have Li Yang visit your home another day and meet your parents," his mother said happily to Xiao Dan.

"Okay, Auntie. We've agreed that he'll come home with me when he has time," Xiao Dan kept putting various meats on Li Yang's plate, eating very little herself, which made his mother couldn't help but nag.

"You child, you have no sense! Why don't you put some food on Xiao Dan's plate?" Li Yang said, his mouth full of oil, speaking indistinctly, "You don't know, Mom, she eats less in a whole day than I do in one meal. Even if I give it to her, she won't finish it."

Xiao Dan's face turned red, and she playfully kicked Li Yang lightly under the table with her foot. Unexpectedly, Li Yang grabbed her small foot, which had just taken off its shoe. Fortunately, the tablecloth blocked the view below, so no one noticed this amusing scene. After a while, Li Yang secretly let go. Xiao Dan, startled, quickly hooked her shoe and carefully put it back on.

Unconsciously, they finished the water feast happily. The crowd in the hotel slowly dispersed, and it suddenly became empty.

Li Yang helped see off the guests and finally returned home with his father and mother. Some relatives who lived nearby also returned home to continue the lively atmosphere. Playing cards, chatting, and drinking tea began again.

Li Yang asked Xiao Dan to take care of the guests at home, while he and his cousin, who could drive, took the sister-in-law's family back to their village in batches.

"Daughter, how long have you and Li Yang been together?" Li Yang's aunt asked leisurely, cracking melon seeds, as she watched Yue Xiaodan serving tea and water.

"Auntie, we've been together for over half a year," Xiao Dan replied with a sweet smile, then grabbed a handful of candies for her aunt and sat down beside her, smiling.

"Oh, what a sensible girl, and so beautiful too. My nephew is blessed! When you get married, Auntie will give you a big gift."

"Thank you, Auntie. Li Yang and I will try to get married sooner," Xiao Dan felt sweet inside.

"By the way, daughter, are you from Luoning?" the aunt asked curiously.

"Yes, Auntie. It's not far past Yiyang to get to my home," Xiao Dan explained seriously.

"Oh, is the bride price high there?" As an elder, the aunt was quite concerned about this aspect.

Actually, Li Yang's aunt knew very well, but she couldn't be too direct in front of Xiao Dan. She knew that the bride price in Luoning was unusually high and was worried if Li Yang could solve this problem when the time came.

"The bride price in our area is indeed a bit higher than here," Xiao Dan said truthfully. "However, Li Yang and I truly love each other, so the amount of the bride price isn't important."

The aunt listened and nodded in agreement. Just then, Li Yang returned and saw everyone chatting happily, so he joined in.

"Li Yang, you need to work harder and marry Xiao Dan home soon," the aunt said with a smile. "By the way, when do you plan to get married?"

Li Yang looked at Xiao Dan, and they exchanged a smile. "We want to wait until our jobs are more stable and we've saved enough money before getting married."

"Hmm, it's good for young people to have their own plans," the aunt said. "But marriage is a big deal and shouldn't be delayed for too long. You two need to discuss it carefully."

Li Yang and Xiao Dan both nodded. They knew that the road ahead was still long, but as long as they supported each other, they would definitely go further.

In the afternoon, Li Yang took Xiao Dan to the home of his old classmate, Wang Liang. He and Li Yang had been classmates since junior high school until they graduated from high school and entered society together. Wang Liang was a bit eccentric; few people interacted with him at school, only Li Yang was close to him, so after graduation, the two still occasionally met up.

Li Yang rode his bicycle, taking Xiao Dan to Wang Liang's house in Xin Dian Village.

"Li Yang, come in quickly," a young man with a buzz cut, very thin all over, shorter than Li Yang, about less than 1.7 meters tall.

"Why aren't you at work today?" Li Yang parked his bicycle and asked with a smile.

"Don't mention it. My cousin introduced me to a blind date. I took the afternoon off from the class monitor."

"This is?" Wang Liang asked curiously, looking at Xiao Dan while answering.

"Oh, let me introduce you. This is my girlfriend, Yue Xiaodan, a girl from Luoning," Li Yang said casually. Their relationship was good, so there was no need to be polite.

"Holy crap, I didn't expect you to get ahead of me! Don't forget to treat me to drinks when the time comes," Wang Liang couldn't help but tease.

"It's a small matter. What does your blind date do?" Li Yang sat down and asked.

Wang Liang was busy taking out beer, then rummaged through a drawer for a bag of spicy peanuts and a bag of melon seeds. The two started drinking simply.

Xiao Dan sat on the side, feeling quite constrained, not knowing what to do. Li Yang casually got up and turned on the TV, letting Xiao Dan hold the remote control and change channels for TV dramas.

"She's a salesperson selling curtains at the Shanghai Market. She looks good, but she's a bit cold. She didn't say much to me. We exchanged contact information and I came back."

Wang Liang took a sip of beer, looking disappointed. "You know, girls nowadays are quite picky, aren't they?" Wang Liang said casually.

"It depends on fate. My wife and I fell in love at first sight, right, wife?" Li Yang said, smiling at Xiao Dan.

"Get lost! You tricked me into it," Xiao Dan said coyly, blushing.

"Hahaha," Li Yang burst out laughing. "Alright, alright, say whatever you want. Anyway, I tricked you into it, and you can't run away!"

Wang Liang also said seriously, "Have your wife introduce a Luoning girl to me too. When we go visit relatives, I'll drive you." Wang Liang had just gotten his driver's license this year and couldn't help but show off.

"Okay, wife, see if you can introduce one to my buddy," Li Yang said, pulling Xiao Dan.

"Okay, we'll talk about it when there's someone suitable. There isn't anyone right now," Xiao Dan said casually, her legs crossed in her skirt, replying to Li Yang casually. Wang Liang couldn't help but glance a few times; they were indeed quite fair.

Xiao Dan watched for a while, then casually picked up Li Yang's beer bottle and took a sip, and grabbed some melon seeds to eat. The three of them sat like this until about six in the afternoon. His mother called and told Li Yang to come home for dinner, so the two said goodbye to Wang Liang and got up to leave.

"I'll come find you at the Shanghai Market another day," Wang Liang said with a smile, standing at the main entrance as Li Yang got on his bike.

"Got it, just call," Li Yang said, taking Xiao Dan home slowly.

"Husband, are you staying home tonight?" Xiao Dan asked gently, wrapping her arms around Li Yang's waist.

"Yeah, I'll stay home. It's rare to be back, and it's lively. We're drinking at home tonight too," Li Yang felt that major life events were important, especially for his own brother. It wouldn't feel right not to stay until the end.

After they returned home, they went straight to his brother's house. Just as Li Yang said, there were two or three tables set up. Two tables were for his brother's colleagues and friends, and the remaining table was for family and relatives from the same village.

Xiao Dan sensibly went to the kitchen to bring out dishes and soup, helping her mother attend to the guests' needs. Li Yang, meanwhile, started drinking with a few cousins. The house was bustling with activity, and the big red "Double Happiness" character looked very festive.

After Xiao Dan had been busy for a while, her mother told her to go eat with Li Yang. Xiao Dan then pulled Li Yang into the kitchen to have something to eat.

"You're not allowed to drink too much, got it?" Xiao Dan reminded Li Yang, pouting slightly.

"Got it, don't worry, wife. I promise you'll be satisfied," Li Yang replied with a chuckle, kissing Xiao Dan.

"You're so annoying! Who wants to be like that with you? I don't!" Xiao Dan turned her head, rolled her eyes at Li Yang, and ignored him.

"My wife's leaving, you enjoy yourself," Before leaving, Li Yang, that rascal, even playfully touched Xiao Dan's soft spot before running off.

"Li Yang, you scoundrel!" Xiao Dan giggled non-stop, feeling incredibly happy and sweet inside. Today's a lucky day, next year will bring great fortune and wealth.

Just then, Xiao Dan's phone, which was in her bag nearby, rang. She quickly put down her chopsticks, took out her phone, and saw it was the store manager calling. She answered and asked, "What is it, Zhang Jie?"

"Xiao Dan, we received a notice today that a few of us need to go to the new store in Yiyang County to help out for a few days. I want you to go and get some experience. You have a good chance of being promoted to assistant manager next year. Do you have any objections?"

Xiao Dan thought for a moment, then said with a casual smile, "It's fine, Jie. It's not far, and it's the same wherever I am. When are we going?" Xiao Dan glanced outside at Li Yang with her eyes and asked casually.

"We're going tomorrow! I'll tell you the location. Just get there before nine. Bring some toiletries. They've arranged for us to stay in a hotel at night. They didn't say exactly how many days, it depends on the situation!"

"Okay, Zhang Jie. I'll go directly tomorrow. Just send me the location later."

"Oh, and Xiao Dan, you'll be leading the team this time. I'll let you assign tasks to them. You handle it yourself. Just call me if anything comes up. I won't disturb your rest then. Get some sleep early!"

"Okay, Zhang Jie. Bye then. I'll remember. Don't worry," She then hung up the phone.

Unknowingly, the time finally came for the party to end. Li Yang was drunk and was slowly helped back home by Xiao Dan. Her mother stayed behind to clean up the mess.

After returning home, Li Yang was helped into the room by Xiao Dan and sat down.

"Wife, let's go take a bath," Li Yang said intermittently, reeking of alcohol.

"Look at you, you silly thing," Xiao Dan complained to Li Yang, dissatisfied. "Can you even manage to wash, husband?"

"Hehe, I can even make love with you, it's fine. If you don't believe me, just see if I can later," He said, forcefully pulling Xiao Dan to take a bath. Xiao Dan chuckled and went along with him.

It was Xiao Dan who carefully dried Li Yang's body. Xiao Dan also took a quick bath, and then the two of them came out and went back to the room.

Li Yang was naked. Xiao Dan took the clean underwear and Li Yang's clothes to the yard to wash them, hung them on the rope in the yard, and then returned to the room.

Li Yang was sleeping soundly with his butt sticking up. Xiao Dan couldn't help but kick him on the butt with her foot. The guy didn't react at all. She gritted her teeth and glared at him, then got into bed to sleep.

She didn't know what time it was in the middle of the night, but Xiao Dan was woken up by an incredibly strong stimulation she had never felt before. She groggily opened her eyes and saw, oh, Li Yang had woken up at some point. That guy was kissing her...

Heh, so this guy can also serve me now, Xiao Dan felt incredibly happy inside, so happy that she couldn't help but close her eyes, and her breathing slowly became rapid...

The two of them carried on like this for almost an hour, and then she hugged Li Yang tightly again, exhausted, and fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, Xiao Dan woke up first. That wonderful feeling from last night was the first time she had tasted sweetness, and her whole body felt much more relaxed. Looking at this guy again, he still loved her very much, didn't he? He was even willing to put aside his pride to do that for her?

Thinking that she wouldn't be able to sleep with Li Yang holding her for the next few nights, Xiao Dan couldn't help but start teasing Li Yang again.

Finally, she voluntarily threw herself into his arms and had another enjoyable intimate session with Li Yang. Fortunately, it was still early, and the two of them were as sweet as honey, cuddling together...

"Wife, what's up today? You're so energetic," Li Yang lay there panting, curiously asking Xiao Dan, who was lying on his chest.

"Husband, I have to go on a business trip to Yiyang County for a few days and can't stay home with you, so I wanted to have a good time with you. I'm afraid I'll miss you and won't be able to sleep at night."

Xiao Dan mumbled weakly. She was quite tired just now, while Li Yang hadn't exerted any effort at all.

"Oh, it's okay, wife. You'll be back in a few days. When you come back, we'll do it for a day and a night without sleeping, as compensation for the days we were apart."

With a chuckle, Xiao Dan couldn't help but laugh. "You're annoying, always so glib. If you had that kind of ability, would you still be human? You'd be a monster," Xiao Dan said, and then, unwillingly, she started planting strawberries on Li Yang's chest.

After a busy session, Li Yang was covered in various marks of love by Xiao Dan. From a distance, it looked like he had undergone cupping therapy. Looking at her hard work, Xiao Dan couldn't help but laugh. "How is it, husband? Do you like it?"

Li Yang smiled helplessly in his heart. This silly wife only knew this trick, as if to declare to the world that she was taken and prevent others from having ideas about him.

"Alright, wife, it's time to get up. I'll take you to the station," After saying that, the two of them got up and went to wash up together.
