Horse, but this guy didn’t say a single word about being tired the whole time.
“Really?”
Jiang Xiao gently sat on the edge of the bed.
“Yeah!”
Song Qiuyu turned over and sat up, twisting her head to look at Jiang Xiao beside her.
But today, neither of them had drunk much. Their groomsmen and bridesmaids were especially good at blocking drinks.
So, aside from being very tired, their minds were perfectly clear.
“Really?”
Jiang Xiao raised an eyebrow and repeated the same question.
“Huh?”
Song Qiuyu was taken aback, feeling like he had something behind his words.
“Xi’er, I mean, if you’re really not tired, then we…”
Jiang Xiao leaned closer to her.
“We?”
Feeling Jiang Xiao’s approaching presence, Song Qiuyu understood in her heart but chose to play dumb.
She tilted her head, blinked at him, then reached out to unfold the folded blanket beside her.
“Looks like we should go to sleep. We’ve been busy all day, and you ran back and forth twice today. How about I massage your legs?”
Hearing this, Jiang Xiao pondered for a moment. He could see through her feigned ignorance but habitually didn’t call her out. He just smiled and nodded.
“Now that you mention it, my legs do feel a bit sore.”
“Then it’s settled. Hurry, lie down, and I’ll give you a few rubs!”
Song Qiuyu giggled, took off her shoes, obediently knelt on the bed, and patted the spot near her.
“Yeah.”
Jiang Xiao lay down without hesitation at the spot she indicated.
“Just stay like that, don’t move. I’ll take off your shoes.”
Song Qiuyu quickly moved to the edge of the bed.
Jiang Xiao lowered his eyes, watching seriously as the girl helped him take off his slippers, briefly lost in memory.
Over these three years, they often slept in the same bed. Taking off each other’s shoes was a very common thing.
But perhaps because today was a special day, this action also carried a different meaning.
Four words to describe it: very virtuous. Song Qiuyu helped Jiang Xiao take off his shoes and socks, then smiled and moved back to her original position. She breathed on her somewhat stiff palms and loosened her joints.
“Xi’er, I feel like you’re not planning to massage my legs; you’re preparing to hit me.”
Jiang Xiao deliberately frowned, pretending to be scared.
“Heh…”
Song Qiuyu was stunned for a moment, then realized she was probably being teased. She didn’t get angry at him; instead, she blinked at him twice.
“Haven’t you heard that ‘hitting is affection, scolding is love’? If I hit you, it means I’m close to you!”
Saying that, Song Qiuyu rubbed her little palms together, formed them into fists, and landed them on Jiang Xiao’s long legs, massaging him a few times.
“Is this pressure enough?”
Song Qiuyu asked tentatively.
“A bit light.”
Jiang Xiao shook his head.
“Like this?”
Song Qiuyu increased the force.
“Still light.”
Jiang Xiao shook his head again.
“Oh…”
Song Qiuyu clenched her fists. This time, instead of using her fists, she used her elbows to press against Jiang Xiao’s thighs, pounding one after another.
“Like this?”
“Hiss…”
Jiang Xiao inhaled sharply.
“This time it’s too heavy.”
Seeing this, Song Qiuyu blinked, looking at Jiang Xiao’s pained expression. Her heart softened. She withdrew her elbow and honestly continued to pound his legs with her fists.
“Light is fine. Just bear with it. I’ll massage you more times to make up for it.”
“Yeah.”
Jiang Xiao nodded.
Then he saw the girl with lowered eyes, completely focused on massaging his legs. From her, he vaguely saw a reflection of his former self, and his heartbeat quickened.
In these four years, the number of times he recalled past regrets had become fewer and fewer.
But occasionally, he still found it unbelievable that Xi’er actually liked him and chose to marry him.
After all, from the beginning, it should have been just his one-sided affection.
Luckily now, he should be worthy of such a good Xi’er.
But he would become even better!
“Xi’er, do you still remember the Five Wishes?”
“Huh?”
Song Qiuyu paused her movements.
Of course, she still remembered. Over these three years, Jiang Xiao had only stated one wish.
There were still four wishes left unsaid.
Could it be that he finally thought of the remaining four wishes?
Thinking this, her eyes sparkled with anticipation as she looked straight at Jiang Xiao. The corners of her mouth lifted.
“Have you finally decided?”
“Kind of. I thought of another one.”
Jiang Xiao’s expression was serious.
“Tell me quickly!”
Song Qiuyu eagerly perked up her ears.
As she spoke, she continued massaging his legs. After finishing his calves, she gradually moved upward to massage his thighs.
The muscles on Jiang Xiao’s thighs were very firm. She rarely touched them this way. As she massaged, a hint of slyness appeared in her eyes, and she secretly pinched him a few times.
Even though these were muscles she would never develop through training, her husband had them, and she could touch them anytime.
That’s just as good as having them herself, right?
Not bad at all.
“…”
Jiang Xiao didn’t know what Song Qiuyu was thinking. He just saw that suddenly, for no reason, her cheeks flushed crimson, and her ears and neck were even redder. He couldn’t help but swallow.
“Why aren’t you saying anything?”
Song Qiuyu urged him, continuing to massage, but accidentally hit the wrong spot.
That punch felt like hitting a stone.
“Mm…”
Jiang Xiao frowned and grunted. In a sense, it hit his “brothers,” and the pain was also on him.
“Ah.”
Song Qiuyu quickly withdrew her fist and let out an awkward laugh. After laughing, she looked at Jiang Xiao with worried eyes.
Others might not know, but how could she not know? For a guy, some places are very fragile and deadly.
“Jiang Xiao, does it hurt?”
“What do you think?”
Jiang Xiao deliberately kept a straight face.
‘Probably I didn’t use too much force.’
Song Qiuyu was shocked. ‘Damn, did I really hurt Jiang Xiao? Although I feel…’
Jiang Xiao continued to look at her with a cold face, taking in all her hesitation and worry. In his heart, he felt a secret satisfaction.
‘Honestly, it did hurt a bit.’
But thinking that it was his wife’s hand that hit him, the pain was quickly covered by another indescribable feeling. He just felt his heart burning, and some parts of his body were aching uncomfortably.
Song Qiuyu took a deep breath. She felt she should take responsibility. After all, it wasn’t just important to Jiang Xiao; it was important to her too!
Just as Jiang Xiao was about to confess, he saw the girl in front of him close her eyes, adjust her posture with guilt, and face him.
“If it really hurts, maybe… um… I can blow on it for you?”
The girl’s beautiful almond eyes were wide open, filled with determination.
“What?”
Jiang Xiao was stunned at that moment.
What kind of wild words are these? Xi’er was really something. Over these three years, she had mentioned wanting to do that for him more than once.
But that kind of thing always felt like it would make Xi’er work hard, and only he would be comfortable.
She herself should understand that.
Jiang Xiao closed his eyes, doing an internal struggle.
“Jiang Xiao?”
Song Qiuyu frowned, her face showing deeper confusion and guilt.
Her sense of responsibility exploded.
“Just let me blow on it for you. Just a few blows, and a few rubs, and it should stop hurting!”
“Uh…”
Jiang Xiao avoided her gaze. Frankly, he couldn’t say he didn’t want to, but he didn’t want to put Xi’er in a difficult position.
He racked his brain to think, almost with a flash of inspiration. His eyes lit up, and he quickly said, “Ah, right, about the five wishes. Actually, what I wanted to say is, I hope you can give me five children.”
“Um… five children?”
Song Qiuyu was dazed for a moment, then nodded blankly.
“But, really, you can’t let me blow on it?”
