Chapter 2: Wedding Night

"Sister-in-law, has something happened?"

These days,

it’s a challenge for families to even have enough to eat.

To put it bluntly, whether some families can survive until spring is a question.

Although our family’s situation is somewhat better, it’s only slightly so, not much.

After all,

This time the original host fell ill, which cost quite a bit of money.

To bring up such a matter now doesn’t feel like it’s my sister-in-law’s style, Chen Xuan thought.

"Ah!"

Su Wanqiu let out a sigh.

Then she said, "Today, Matchmaker Wang came to our house to arrange a marriage for Li Tie from the village. You know him, he’s a scoundrel and a rogue. How could I possibly hand Yun’Er over to him?

However,

in the course of the conversation,

I heard he has a brother who’s connected with the Wild Wolf Gang,

so, to avoid trouble in the future,

it would be better for you and Yun’Er to get married.

That way, we can avoid entanglement with such a scoundrel.

"

After speaking,

her gentle eyes looked calmly at him.

This idea was her own at present, but she still needed to see his attitude.

"Humph! That kind of scoundrel, does he even deserve it?"

Chen Xuan’s eyes widened immediately, anger quickly rising.

From the moment he first saw Su Yun, he already had some thoughts.

However,

considering the current situation with the natural disasters, life at home was indeed difficult.

Also, Su Yun was too young; he wanted to wait before saying anything, so he hadn’t spoken up yet.

But since sister-in-law mentioned it, coupled with this matter at hand, he couldn’t shirk his duty.

So he patted his chest and promised, "Sister-in-law, rest assured, I’ll definitely take good care of Yun’Er and you from now on."

After Chen Xuan said this,

he felt something was off.

But upon thinking it over, there was nothing wrong.

He was the only male in the family, naturally the head of the household.

In the future, Su Yun would be his wife, of course he needed to take good care of her, as for Su Wanqiu, she was the elder sister-in-law, naturally he had to look after her too.

This... was also a normal sentiment, right?

Fortunately,

Su Wanqiu didn’t notice anything amiss either.

Instead, she said seriously, "Of course, Sister-in-law trusts you. I’ve boiled some water, freshen up properly, and tonight you should go to Yun’Er’s room."

"Okay, Sister-in-law!"

Chen Xuan tried hard to suppress the corners of his mouth.

Until Su Wanqiu returned to her own room, he couldn’t hold it in anymore and grinned broadly, showing a set of big white teeth.

Three great joys in life:

Meeting a friend in a distant place, it’s unlikely to happen now.

In this world, could there really be other transmigrators?

Making a name on the imperial exam rankings, that’s even more improbable.

Only this wedding night remains.

Unexpectedly,

it’s going to happen tonight.

"Little sister, I’m on the boat, brother you walk on the shore."

Humming a fitting tune,

he excitedly went to the kitchen, washed his face and feet, and cleaned his body over and over again.

He even smelled a few times to ensure there was no odor.

Such an important moment, he had to be clean.

Before entering Su Yun’s room, he took off the thick gray coat, then tiptoed inside.

At this moment,

Su Yun was curled up entirely inside the large flower-patterned quilt, so much so her face wasn’t visible.

Chen Xuan walked to the bedside,

gently lifted the corner of the quilt, and before going in, asked softly, "Yun’Er, I’m coming in."

"Put out the light!"

Su Yun’s voice was like a mosquito’s buzz, with a slight tremble.

Chen Xuan also accurately blew out the oil lamp in one breath.

Then,

He slowly entered the quilt.

And immediately felt a different kind of warmth.

Really comfortable.

Especially when his calf touched Su Yun’s.

That smooth and delicate skin,

Chen Xuan felt truly refreshed.

"Wearing nothing?"

He subconsciously swallowed a few mouthfuls.

His adrenaline surged rapidly.

His movements quickened, quickly burrowing into the quilt completely.

At the same time, he embraced Su Yun tightly,

At that moment,

he felt her body tremble slightly.

"Brother Xuan!"

"Yun’Er!"

The atmosphere heated up rapidly.

...

How.....?

Ah!

Chen Xuan looked embarrassed.

Somewhat humiliated.

It must be because the original host was still a novice, not him!

Chen Xuan found an excuse for this rather unsatisfactory race course extraveganza.

"It’s alright, maybe too tired, I’m sleepy, Brother Xuan!"

Su Yun seemed considerate.

Like a kitten, she curled up in Chen Xuan’s embrace, closed her eyes, resting her head upon his chest.

Yet Chen Xuan was anxious now,

This won’t do.

He couldn’t accept this performance on the wedding night, even if Su Yun could understand, his manly pride wouldn’t allow.

...

In the morning, the first ray of sunlight shone through the window into the room, hitting Chen Xuan’s face.

He still didn’t open his eyes.

This lass was truly unusual.

Last night,

he wasn’t a match at all.

When Chen Xuan finally opened his eyes slowly.

A blinking message appeared in the corner of his eye.

[You and Su Yun had a decent trip, reward: 3 Skill Points!]

Then,

a slate appeared before his eyes, shining with a gentle golden hue.

[Name: Chen Xuan]

[Life Span: 18/55]

[Realm: Beginner]

[Cultivation Technique: Health Cultivation (Beginner) (0/50)]

[Skills: Basic Archery (5/10), Basic Tracking Technique (6/10)]

[Skill Points: 3]

This was his system?

Chen Xuan immediately became excited.

He knew it.

As a transmigrator, how could he have no perks?

He was not a minor character.

Calming down, he began to study this system.

Health Cultivation, a Chen Family’s legacy, supposedly granted to an ancestor who served as an archer in the military and made contributions.

He had practiced it, but felt nothing.

As for the other skills, they must have been acquired from being a hunter.

Moreover, this system.....

Increases these so-called skill points through marital life.

Well...

Chen Xuan’s expression turned peculiar.

This system was truly... remarkable.

Regarding that he wasn’t clear.

Nonetheless,

He looked down at Su Yun, who was still asleep.

Should he study it?

After all, the day still seemed early?

At this hour,

Sister-in-law Su Wanqiu should still not be awake.

Taking it easy, it should not be a big issue.

...

After the rain.

"Trying to kill me, it’s broad daylight!"

Su Yun’s genteel eyes glared, her delicate hands punching him a few times.

Chen Xuan, while panting heavily, appeased the charming person in his arms.

"Humph!"

Su Yun turned away upon seeing that, ignoring him further.

She wasn’t truly angry, or she wouldn’t have cooperated; she was just dissatisfied with his timing.

It’s already daytime.....

So embarrassing!

He buried his head in the quilt.

At this time,

Chen Xuan held her, impatiently awaiting the previously blinking message.

However,

After a long wait,

it didn’t appear at all.

"Could it be that daylight doesn’t work?"

Chen Xuan speculated internally.

Until Su Wanqiu called them to get up for breakfast, the message still didn’t appear.

Chen Xuan showed a slight smile.

It seemed true.

No wonder the ancients said that indulgence during the day is immoral.

Now it seemed,

This system wasn’t that indecent after all.
