“Creak!”

The door was unlocked, and with a gentle push, it opened.

The room was filled with a faint fragrance.

The door automatically closed when he entered the room, which didn’t surprise him at all. He looked inside. There were two red candles in the shape of a dragon and a phoenix on the other side of the room, emitting a dim light.

Inside the bedroom, everything was red—red carpet, red curtain, as well as a wide red bed.

Zhang Ruochen suddenly had an illusion that he was at their wedding day and that what happened in the past year was just a dream. He and Huang Yanchen completed the whole wedding ceremony and were now celebrating their wedding night.

Behind the curtain was a pool about ten feet long, with white steam vapors flowing above and pink flowers on the surface of the water.

Huang Yanchen was bathing in the pool. Her lower body was completely in the water and covered by the flowers. The skin on her naked upper body was silk-white and glittering, her dripping wet blue hair was loose on her shoulder.

The candles illuminated her breathtaking curvy body. Water droplets kept rolling down her body, making it look even more beautiful.

Huang Yanchen’s thin and soft hands gently rubbed her neck and shoulders as she softly said, “I thought you wouldn’t come tonight.”

Zhang Ruochen stood on the edge of the pool, looking at this heavenly, beautiful woman with mixed feelings of admiration, guilt, and primitive human desire.

He said, ” If I hadn’t come tonight, would you hate me? ”

“Splash!”

Huang Yanchen crossed her slim and silky arms to cover her naked chest, she slightly curled herself up and said, “No, I wouldn’t.”

After thinking for a moment, she added, “Because, if you didn’t come, I would know that you never loved me. I would call off the engagement so that you would be free to seek your true love.”

Zhang Ruochen said, “But I came, so is this our first date?”

“Yes!”

A heartfelt smile appeared on her cold face. Her fingers slid in the water, and the corner of her lips curled up. “I still remember, when you first entered the Western Campus. You peeked at me while I was bathing, just like tonight.”

Zhang Ruochen coughed. “That was Senior Sister Apprentice Duanmu’s prank. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have accidentally entered the room. But tonight, I’m standing in front of you with righteousness. It can’t be regarded as peeping, right?”

Huang Yanchen bit her lips gently, apparently unconvinced. However, she managed to keep her voice as soft as possible to avoid ruining the atmosphere. She said, “I need to wear clothes, can you turn around?”

Zhang Ruochen did as she asked and closed his eyes.

He heard a series of sounds—first the water, and then the footsteps, followed by the sound of her putting on clothes.

After a while, he heard Huang Yanchen’s voice again. “You can turn around now.”

When he turned, he saw Huang Yanchen in a red gown embroidered with a mandarin duck pattern, sitting on the edge of the bed. Her skirt, which was almost 3 meters long, was spread on the ground with feathers decorating the hem.

A red bridal veil covered her face, hiding her beauty.

The flame of two red candles placed on each side of the bed kept flickering, making the scene in front of him even more spectacular.

Huang Yanchen said with a tremble in her voice, “I want to be your bride tonight. What about you?”

Faced with this, Zhang Ruochen held his breath and he felt his heart beat faster. He walked over, picked up the golden wedding steelyard on the bed and prepared to remove the red bridal veil.

However, he suddenly stopped and asked, “Have you made your decision? I can’t promise you a future, and I can’t even give you a proper wedding.”

Huang Yanchen said, “I know.”

Zhang Ruochen nodded. Without further hesitation, he removed the red bridal veil and a heavenly, delicate face appeared in front of him.

Huang Yanchen had meticulously done her makeup in advance—perfectly defined eyebrows, cherry red lips and faint flushes on her cheeks.

Zhang Ruochen sat down, held her hand and stared at her face. “You’re so beautiful tonight.”

They lay down on the bed—one slept on the right side, and the other slept on the left side. They stared idly at the ceiling.

Huang Yanchen sucked on her lips before asking, “Zhang Ruochen, is this the correct thing to do at the wedding night?”

“Sort of.” Zhang Ruochen replied.

“Oh!”

Huang Yanchen didn’t ask further, but the light in her eyes suddenly dimmed. She felt a little disappointed and sad.

Even though Huang Yanchen had never experienced a wedding night before, she knew that it was not supposed to be like this. She thought Zhang Ruochen treated her more like a sister apprentice rather than a lover.

The light of the red candle kept dancing, making everything in the room look like they were hidden in shadows.

At this moment, images of Chi Yao flashed through Zhang Ruochen’s mind. He kept thinking about her smile and her face when she killed him.

Zhang Ruochen’s facial expression kept changing, varying from happy to distressed and then to struggling.

Chi Yao, like a nightmare, was something he couldn’t get rid of.

Especially during this wedding night, his feelings about her grew stronger. The blue veins all over his body became more visible and sweat formed beads on his forehead. He gripped Huang Yanchen’s hand tighte
