T/N: As I am an amazing sloth you get an update today (not because I'm away this weekend or anything) hahaha 

_________________________________________________________

Three

years of marriage, every night guarding the bedroom by herself, she dreamed

about him finally coming back, standing brightly, gazing at her with longing.

She constantly waited, and always looked forward to their next meeting, if he

could discover her good points, she imagined him grasping her own hand, walking together to the end of time.

But every

day, every month, every year, the greater her hope, the greater her

disappointment.

She

gradually was unable to breath under the numerous pressures of her life in an

influential family, the pity and laughter in each upper-cla.s.s women’s eyes made

her feel ashamed and resentful. Right at the beginning she had responded, but gradually she became taciturn, until in the end she ignored it, it was like a blunt

knife grinding against her heart, stabbing every day, finally the wound

became bigger and bigger, when she left w.a.n.g residence, the blood on her broken

and smashed heart had long ago dried, not a single tear flowed.

No one

could have imagined, after she turned to leave, he would come back, chasing

after her for seven years, finally once again gathering her into his arms

again.

This Xia

Ling Mei distressed w.a.n.g Yun Feng, stirring up the gentleness and kindness

still left, that momentary outburst of companions.h.i.+p slowed down,

switching to softly placating.

Xia Ling

Mei found her breath, eyes lightly fluttering looking at him.

w.a.n.g Yun

Feng pecked her twice on her ear lobe, each time smoothing out the stress lines on

her forehead. From today on, she should be elated and joyful, every expression

should make people feel as if she was soaked in the spring breeze, every one of

her movements should make clear she was completely content. From today on, he will

stand behind her, serving as her support, when she faced problems, he would

stand in front of her, as the spear in her hands, knocking down every obstacle

on behalf of her.

Carrying

her behind the screen into the inner room, Xia Ling Mei laughed: “I’ve washed

already.”

w.a.n.g Yun

Feng smiling: “Husband is still unwell, wife isn’t prepared to help me a bit?”

Xia Ling

Mei was placed down on the bath tub, her b.u.t.t just on the edge, in front of her

was a man’s warm body, behind her was a steaming hot bath, his thoughts were

practically self-evident.

Xia Ling

Mei used one hand to support herself on the edge of the tub: “Since you’ve

woken up you’ve had the idea of bathing together, you’re determined not to let

me go.” Apart from the first time she planned to wipe his body, w.a.n.g Yun Feng

merely prepared two tubs of hot bath water himself, how could Xia Ling Mei not

see the the burning longing in the other person’s eyes.

“We are

husband and wife, how can I let you go. You are mine, I’m naturally yours, husband

and wife sharing the same heart and same body complies with the nature of

heaven and earth, the principle of yin and yang.”

The candle

light behind the screen flickered, reflecting like white jade and

jadeite, faintly giving Xia Ling Mei an indistinct hazy layer of multi-coloured

moonlight, as if she was a precious jade covered with a natural silk, only

waiting for the man to lift up that veil, touching her real self delicately. w.a.n.g Yun Feng’s every breath sprinkled onto her skin, it scalded even more than lava.

With such an eager

expression where was the usual calm and self-controlled imperial

censor, instead he had become a young man who had just gotten married, agitated

with a bit of unease.

Tears

formed on the corners of Xia Ling Mei’s eyes, she wanted to approach him but

again was somewhat afraid, suddenly taking in two cold breaths, she then spoke:

“Anyway I can’t beat you with words, firstly don’t move, I’ll help you bathe.”

w.a.n.g Yun

Feng lifted his head, looking at her for quite a while, colour in his cheeks

he said: “Good.”

The

irritability in his whole body was like time, it noiselessly drifted away.

The water

was very hot, w.a.n.g Yun Feng who had taken off his clothes sat in the bath tub

silently, eyes shut, letting Xia Ling Mei wash his hair.

The first

two days of May, there still wasn’t a moon, everywhere outside the window was

covered in darkness, trees were invisible, flowers and plants could not be

seen, even if there were people wondering around outside it would only be an

indistinct blob. It was almost midsummer, the curtains over these past few days

had already been changed to thin reversible cotton curtains, covering in between

the carved window, making everything look blurry.

Xia Ling Mei

used the light from the room outside, wringing the water from w.a.n.g Yun Feng’s

hair, picking out the few completely white hairs in his hair, carefully pulling

them out, again twisting it into a ring, winding it around her own wrist. w.a.n.g

Yun Feng seemed to have fallen asleep, his arm only slightly shook for a little

while in pain, stirring up rings of waves.

Xia Ling

Mei’s fingertips skimmed across his cheeks: “Are you tired?”

w.a.n.g Yun

Feng moved a little, opening his eyes he looked up at her inclined face,

smiling: “I’m not tired. I’ve slept for so long, how can I be tired.” No matter

how you interpreted these words there was still another meaning, Xia Ling Mei’s

face reddened, rebuking: “Since you’re not tired you can wash yourself.”

w.a.n.g Yun

Feng sat up: “Help me scrub my back.”

Xia Ling

Mei knew his rascal behaviour, testing the water to make sure it wasn’t cold,

she simply picked up a soap, giving it to him, she broke off a few pieces

rubbing it onto a towel, using all her strength to rub along his shoulders,

completely treating the grown man like Xia Fen, serving him with all her

effort.

w.a.n.g Yun

Feng’s brazenness had already at an earlier time become incorrigible, and could really take advantage of an opportunity for his own ideas, after

scrubbing his back she scrubbed his chest, now and then giving a suggestion, here was a bit of an itch which needed more strength, there needed to be

more gentle because there are old wounds. The fresh cold aroma of bitter tea

and bean soap evaporated from the heat of the flesh, the stomach, the waist,

there were some small wounds on his outer thigh, being soaked in hot water for

so long it was slightly red. Xia Ling Mei did not know what sort of role he

played in the imperial court as a government office, but seeing those wounds,

even though they weren’t serious injuries, but there were many bits and pieces, new and old, again thinking about when the two of them had met

again, he had been whipped nearly to death by people, only after this did Xia

Ling Mei feel heartache, her movements increasingly gentle and cautious.

w.a.n.g Yun

Feng felt her movements, he knew his own little plan had worked again, he

couldn’t help be somewhat content, after he saw her making a lot of effort to

stifle her tears, he immediately spurned his ego.

She had

suffered a lot more injuries on the battlefield than the a.s.sa.s.sination attempts

he had obtained in the imperial court, there was no need for him to scheme for

her sincerity, guess her love?

Wiping away

the tears from the corner of her eyes, he forced a smile: “If I had known

earlier how soft-hearted you are, that day I saw you I should have let you

see the scars on my body, then we wouldn’t have had to take such a rounded

route, suffering so much.” He kissed the corners of her eyes, “Sorry, I

deliberately caused you heartache.”

Xia Ling

Mei stared blankly, glaring, she suddenly she threw the towel at him: “You even

scheme against me! You’re happy seeing me make a fool out of myself.” She

rushed out from behind the screen extremely angry, burying her head on the bed,

not knowing whether she felt angry or felt more wronged.

w.a.n.g

Yun Feng hurriedly chased after, `pat, pat` as his steps left puddles, he

couldn’t help laugh seeing her both ashamed and angry face: “I care about you

so of course I would want you to pay more attention to me, that way I would

feel my own investment at long last would be paid back. Apart from the people

beside me, not involving the government, I wouldn’t even give them a glance, what

more I wouldn’t beat my brains out to lay down a trap.”

Xia Ling

Mei said angrily: “Then should I grateful to you?”

w.a.n.g Yun

Feng pulled off the damp clothes on her body, removing her hairpin, pulling the

soft quilt over the two people: “I should be the one to thank you.” He

supported himself by the top of her head, pulling apart the twisted hairs,

kissing her cheeks: “thank you for still loving me…” He had just spoken half

the sentence, his entire body suddenly dropped on her, Xia Ling Mei taken by

surprise groaned, her cheeks which were just panting with rage were already in

pain, she pounded on him: “It hurts!”    

“It’s right

to be in pain.” w.a.n.g Yun Feng said: “Wedding night, should be half painful and

half joyous. Ling Mei, forget the past, rather tonight is our first night as

husband and wife.” He kissed her lips, swallowing her grumbles.

Xia Ling

Mei persistently struggled, the first time she had s.e.x was the first time she

truly hated w.a.n.g Yun Feng. They had gotten back together with great difficulty,

she had thought since the two of them had mutual feelings, he would take into

consideration her experience, make her gradually forget that night’s struggle

in bed, who would have imagined, he was even more fierce than before, even more

resolute than before.

Seven years

ago that night he had dominated her body, this night seven years later he also

wanted to thoroughly seize her mind and body, not allowing her to resist the

slightest and shrink back.

In bed, the

man was forever dominant.

Xia Ling

Mei eyes were very red, she was unable to speak.

w.a.n.g Yun

Feng lifted his upper body, calmly a smile blossomed: “Ling Mei, you are mine.”

Xia Ling

Mei was very humiliated, she couldn’t scold him, she could cry either, she

definitely couldn’t laugh. This man, really wanted to use this night to bury

the pain from the first time seven years ago, he went all out to trap her,

embrace her, own her, the pain she had felt every time she willingly did

something thoroughly covered the shouts and struggles of that entire year.

w.a.n.g Yun

Feng strength of character had already pushed his gentleness and elegance over

the cliffs off the top of a steep mountain, he was telling her, the man who

fanned her with smiles during the spring breeze had already long ago gone. The

w.a.n.g Yun Feng right now was a sharp sword, he was a knife blade, he was already

unsheathed, a weakling was not suited to stand by his side, he needed someone

strong, what more he needed someone by his side who could see clearly his

strengths, see clearly his icy arrogance.

He was no

longer the confused young man who sought for other people to like him, a rather

overbearing man declaring you have to love me, respect me.

w.a.n.g Yun

Feng wanted Xia Ling Mei, Xia Ling Mei must only belong to w.a.n.g Yun Feng.

Gentle and

uncivilised, happiness and suffering, the amalgamation of fire and ice.

Xia Ling

Mei was an amateur in love, she had long forgotten the teachings of her mother

before she got married, the her now was like that night, bashful and nervous,

unfamiliar emotions rushed forth bewildering her, her eyes gradually glossed

over.

w.a.n.g Yun

Feng fixed his eyes on her, seeing her slowly hesitating, helplessly pounding

at him, bringing her bliss of the human world, making her heart and body his.

He knew in

her memories he was somewhat gentle and elegant. However, that was the w.a.n.g Yun

Feng from seven years ago, the him right now was senior imperial censor Lord

w.a.n.g. That bamboo like w.a.n.g Yun Feng had long ago been buried by loneliness,

the him right now was the ironwood which had broken out of the ground, with the

coldness heart, and a wide chest that can contain the person he needed to

protect.

He must let

her know, w.a.n.g Yun Feng has changed, becoming even stronger. He would love her

even more, even if they meet with more suffering they would never leave each

other.

The

`shuffling` disturbance for half the night in that wing of the room finally

quietened down.

The

sleeping Xia Ling Mei still wore an expression of grievance, w.a.n.g Yun Feng in

the dark smoothed out the wrinkle in between her eyebrows, he couldn’t help

gather her in his embrace, kissing her forehead.

Xia Ling

Mei was truly too tired, the exhaustion built up over the years were pulled out

by 

w.a.n.g Yun Feng’s forceful nature, nearly completely downing her entirely. In his

memories, this was the second time she had wept in his embrace, compared to the

tearing of the heart and splitting of lungs that night many years before,

tonight Xia Ling Mei felt wronged, spoiled like a child, a little bit timid, a

little bit satisfied.

w.a.n.g Yun

Feng pushed aside the strands of hair on her cheeks, he couldn’t help put her

hair between his neck, Xia Ling Mei moved a bit, finally settling down.

Noiselessly,

w.a.n.g Yun Feng smiling unconsciously chuckled.
