Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Gong Xin quickly adopted a submissive and appeasing demeanor before slipping away, saying, “My dear parents, look at you both, so well-coordinated. Haha! I’ll go check on my brother. Don’t punish him too much; I’ll feel sorry for him. ”
In the village, at the Su family’s residence:
Gu Zi had spent nearly the entire day sleeping, and she felt somewhat better the next day. She managed to get out of bed, though it was already afternoon.
She believed her condition was due to a deficiency in her vitality. The previous day, she had asked Su Shen to prepare some snow lotus, which she now used to make a nutritious stew.
She sliced red dates and ginger, placing them into the snow lotus before setting it on a steamer. Suddenly, she remembered that her sister-in-law had given her a gift to open on her wedding night. Unfortunately, she had forgotten about it until now.
The stew needed some time to cook, and Lele was engrossed in watching television in the living room. It was a good opportunity for Gu Zi to go upstairs and retrieve the gift. It would also serve as an opportunity to express her gratitude to her sister-in-law.
When she went upstairs to retrieve the red box she intended to open, Su Shen entered the room. She glanced up, realizing her husband had returned early.
She asked, “Why are you back so early today?”
Su Shen walked over to her, enveloping her in his arms and planting a gentle kiss on her forehead. He replied, “I’m not busy today. What’s this?”
Seeing that her husband had noticed the red box in her hand, Gu Zi warmly invited him to join her, saying, “It’s a wedding night gift from my sister-in-law. I forgot about it, but now we can open it together.”
She opened the box, revealing a pair of exquisitely handcrafted sachets. At first glance, the embroidered patterns appeared incredibly intricate and lifelike, showcasing exceptional folk artistry.
However, upon closer inspection, Gu Zi was left dumbfounded. Her pupils dilated, and her cheeks grew warm. The meticulously embroidered designs depicted explicit sexual scenes. On the left sachet, two naked figures were entwined intimately, while on the right, a man was positioned behind a woman.
Gu Zi recalled reading about these sachets in “Dream of the Red Chamber” they were known as “Embroidered Spring Pouches.”
These were a form of sex education, where older female family members or mothers would use these pouches to enlighten newlyweds about sexual matters. Inside the pouches were often aphrodisiacs and various substances to enhance desire.
Gu Zi couldn’t believe her sister-in-law had gifted her something so scandalous !
This was an eye-opening experience for her; she had no idea that such customs still existed in rural areas these days.
Embarrassment washed over her as her face turned crimson, and she couldn’t bear to meet Su Shen’s scorching gaze.
He explained in a low, soothing voice, “These are beautifully made. It’s a tradition in these villages for the bride’s family to gift these. It’s a heartfelt gesture. Besides, I’m your husband. Why be shy?”
Su Shen was also feigning composure, but in reality, holding his tender wife, her fragrance and voice acting like an aphrodisiac, had caused his blood to boil.
Unexpectedly, another pair of Embroidered Spring Pouches appeared, making it difficult for him not to entertain thoughts about experimenting with the depicted positions with his own woman.
If he had slightly weaker self-control, he might have already pinned her down and initiated their exploration.
He kissed his woman’s lips, feeling as though one kiss was insufficient, so he kissed her again.
At this point, Gu Zi spoke up, “I’m surprised too. It’s the first time I’ve seen something . Let’s put it away.”
Gu Zi quickly closed the box and stashed it under her vanity table. Her movements were so swift that it seemed like she was handling something hot.
Su Shen rose alongside her. Before she could even turn around, his tall figure appeared in the mirror, enveloping her from behind. He took one of her hands and placed it on the dressing table, leaning forward.
His handsome and mature face rested on her shoulder, and the mirror reflected his deep, entrancing gaze, his high nose bridge, and the burgeoning desire that flickered across his features.
“Gu Zi, does it still hurt there?” His inquiry was quite evident as he already had her earlobe trapped in his kiss, using his wet, warm tongue to tease and tantalize.
Images of their wedding night flashed through Gu Zi’s mind: the insatiable Su Shen pinning her down, and later, his restrained desire as he allowed her to rest.
However, her legs were still weak, and she needed some more time. She said in a coquettish tone, “It doesn’t hurt anymore, but Su Shen, can we take our time before the second round?”
Her sweet tone left the man unable to resist her request. He gradually ceased his kisses, allowing her to turn around. He held her close and said, “Then let me hold you for a while..”
