First Night Sharing a Bed

Xiao E thought of a problem: if Miss didn't know anything, didn't know about Mu Zibai's efforts during this time, what would happen?

Mu Zibai fell silent. This was a very melodramatic question. Suddenly, he felt it was a bit like a melodramatic TV drama.

Mu Zibai had also considered this problem.

Of course not, I know everything. Wenren Lingmeng secretly rejoiced inwardly. Fortunately, she was conscious and not in a coma; otherwise, how would she know about Mu Zibai's meticulous care?

Fortunately, she knew everything.

Only by experiencing it firsthand could one understand the struggle in darkness, and then suddenly a beam of light shining into one's dark heart. That warmth would never be forgotten.

Xiao E felt involuntarily anxious whenever she thought that Miss might not know anything.

Mu Zibai said indifferently, "A husband and wife's bond lasts a hundred days. What I've done is merely what I should do. I have a clear conscience."

Wenren Lingmeng felt a surge of emotion inwardly. It was wonderful to have such a husband.

Xiao E smiled and said, "Don't worry. Even if Miss forgets, I won't. I'll tell Miss everything, without missing a single detail."

Mu Zibai smiled gently, as a form of acknowledgment.

After bathing, Mu Zibai went to change his clothes. Xiao E changed Wenren Lingmeng's clothes and tucked her in.

Wenren Lingmeng heard rustling sounds outside and felt very nervous. This was the first night she would sleep with Mu Zibai.

She had once imagined her husband to be a genius, skilled in both civil and martial arts.

She imagined her husband achieving great deeds, being an unparalleled national hero, sometimes having to lead troops into battle, causing them to be apart for months. Then she would write poems for him, and he would write poems for her.

Being in different places, looking at the moon at night, missing each other, and cherishing each other when they were together.

How romantic it sounded.

Alas, fate always differed greatly from reality. Although Wenren Lingmeng knew her expectations were high, where could such an extraordinary person be found? Yet, a maiden's heart was always full of imagination.

When she first learned of Mu Zibai's identity, she was very unwilling.

But under Mu Zibai's meticulous care, Wenren Lingmeng admitted she had fallen for him.

Compared to those unrealistic fantasies, who could refuse such a thoughtful husband who genuinely cared for her?

Wenren Lingmeng also understood a truth: when she was well, countless people admired her, and she received innumerable gifts every day.

Which of those young lords didn't swear eternal love to her, making earth-shattering vows that moved her?

But what was the result? It was obvious.

It was Mu Zibai who stayed by her side and took care of her after she fell into a vegetative state. Although it was for the sake of bringing good luck, Wenren Lingmeng now considered Mu Zibai her other half.

Mu Zibai was the ray of light that shone into her soul when she was lost in darkness. He was one of the few sources of warmth since Wenren Lingmeng fell unconscious, giving her hope to survive while struggling in the darkness.

Sensing a coolness beside her, the quilt was lifted. Mu Zibai got into the bed. Xiao E stood aside, turning her back.

Mu Zibai looked at the beautiful face so close to him, his heart involuntarily fluttered. He gently poked Wenren Lingmeng's nose with his finger.

Wenren Lingmeng's heart also fluttered at that moment. Feeling Mu Zibai's warm finger touch her nose, her heart skipped a beat.

Her heart pounded faster and faster, as if it would leap out of her chest. She was extremely nervous, but she could do nothing.

Many strange thoughts surfaced.

Is this what it's like to consummate the marriage with my husband?

What is my husband going to do? He's not going to...?

Will I get pregnant like this?

Wenren Lingmeng felt warmth beside her. Was it Mu Zibai's body heat? It felt so warm.

Mu Zibai put one arm around Wenren Lingmeng, pulling her into his embrace. With his other hand, he held Wenren Lingmeng's small hand.

She could hear Mu Zibai's breathing and feel his warm breath. Although shy, she did not resist; she even wanted to hug him.

Real couples must sleep holding each other, right?

Wenren Lingmeng wanted to be close to Mu Zibai, but she figured that would only happen when she woke up.

Mu Zibai looked at Wenren Lingmeng. Seeing her quiet and peaceful appearance, his own heart grew calm at that moment.

In the beginning, Mu Zibai had only seen Wenren Lingmeng as a tool to gain points. He was grateful for the opportunity. If he had known about Wenren Lingmeng's condition from the start, he might have only felt gratitude.

Now, after spending so much time together, Mu Zibai had developed a deeper, more sincere affection for the sleeping girl before him, whether out of pity for Wenren Lingmeng or simply from prolonged companionship.

Mu Zibai gently stroked Wenren Lingmeng's hair and said softly, "Don't worry, I will definitely make you better."

Wenren Lingmeng was touched inwardly. Hearing the breathing beside her grow weaker and gradually calmer, she assumed he had fallen asleep.

Gradually, her turbulent heart also quieted down, and she drifted off to sleep, falling asleep alongside Mu Zibai.

Xiao E turned around and saw that Mu Zibai was asleep. She drew the gauze curtain, put some powder into the censer, and left the room, closing the door with a yawn.

She could finally get a good night's sleep.

The next morning.

As soon as dawn broke, she heard the crisp chirping of birds outside. Mu Zibai opened his eyes, and the first thing he saw was Wenren Lingmeng's face.

He hadn't slept so soundly in a long time. He felt refreshed. Mu Zibai lifted his arm; he had held Wenren Lingmeng all night, and his arm had gone numb.

Mu Zibai didn't get up. It was still early, and he hadn't made any other moves. He just quietly watched Wenren Lingmeng.

This face, I feel like I could look at it for a lifetime.

He didn't know how long he had been watching when he suddenly heard noisy sounds from outside.

He knew immediately it was that girl Wenren Qingyi. Only she would be shouting and making a racket in the manor.

Just as Mu Zibai was about to get out of bed, Wenren Qingyi burst through the door.

"Sister, Mother says we're all going to the garden today."

Before she could finish speaking, she saw Mu Zibai climbing out of bed. Wenren Qingyi stared straight at him.

"Can you knock before coming in next time?" Mu Zibai said speechlessly.

"You-you-how are you in my sister's bed! How can you be in my sister's bed! You definitely bullied my sister, you beast!"

Wenren Qingyi's face was full of anger. Without thinking, she rushed forward.

Mu Zibai had no intention of dealing with her. He sidestepped, and Wenren Qingyi nearly fell to the ground.

Mu Zibai chuckled and said, "They say women with big chests are brainless. Why is it, third sister, that you don't follow the usual path?"

Wenren Qingyi froze for a moment, not understanding what Mu Zibai meant. She put her hands on her hips, puffed out her flat little chest, and said, "What do you mean?"

What do you mean by big-chested and brainless? How am I not following the usual path?

"Flat-chested and brainless."

She glanced down at her chest, her face instantly flushing with embarrassment and rage. She charged forward, intending to tear Mu Zibai apart.
