Chapter 4: Calcium Deficient as a Child, Love Deficient as an Adult

"Sleep, it won't collapse." Suddenly, a low voice came from beside her ear. Su Zhirui awkwardly pulled back her hands and instead pressed herself desperately against the wooden wall. It seemed to have started raining. She curled into a ball, drifting into a hazy sleep. As she grew colder, Su Zhirui habitually reached out and grabbed at her surroundings. The moment she touched a heat source, she immediately clung to it, burying her head into someone's chest before finally falling asleep in contentment.

Frowning, the man felt somewhat displeased. No woman had ever clung to him like this, limbs and all, like a piece of dog-skin plaster that couldn't be shaken off. Lowering his head, he immediately kissed her small mouth, only loosening his grip slightly once the woman was dazed and disoriented by the heat. She didn't seem to have woken up; she merely murmured something in her sleep and wrapped herself around him again.

Helpless, Yi Huang kissed her again. This time, he did not stop easily. Only when Su Zhirui’s entire body became soft and burning hot did he release her fragrant frame. But the moment he let go, she recklessly burrowed back into his arms.

A faint flicker of anger flashed in his eyes. Pulling her body up, he no longer held back, swallowing her whole without a shred of restraint.

After it was over, she wrapped herself around him again, seemingly not at all as he had expected.

Yi Huang thoughtfully opened the bed canopy. As expected, bothered by mosquitoes, Su Zhirui immediately let go with her hands and wrapped herself entirely in the quilt.

If he had known it would be this easy, he wouldn't have had to exert himself so much.

At the first light of dawn, Su Zhirui suddenly bolted up from the bed. Before her brain could even process the situation, her body reacted first. Seeing the mysterious, blood-streaked wounds on the man's back, she suddenly shrieked. Had he been fighting with cats and dogs last night? There were so many scratch marks.

Wait, her innocence.

"Last night..."

"You wouldn't let go." Yi Huang sat up and quickly put on his inner garment.

"Bullshit," Su Zhirui roared in a rage. This man was clearly taking advantage of her and acting innocent.

"You were the one who wanted to marry me." Yi Huang remained unmoved, stating the facts.

"But we've only known each other for a day." Su Zhirui held up one finger, feeling a bit dizzy.

"You were the one who wouldn't let go."

"But why did you have to touch me?"

"You were the one who wouldn't let go."

"Couldn't you have just kicked me off the bed?" "Fine, I was the one who wouldn't let go." Su Zhirui took over the words herself, feeling a mix of laughter and tears. Her innocence had been lost in such an inexplicable way.

Yet, she didn't feel all that angry. Was it because she lacked calcium as a child and lacked love as an adult?

"Wipe away your drool." Seeing her staring at him as he dressed, Yi Huang reminded her indifferently.

"Don't you even ask about my background?" After a pause, she suddenly asked. It seemed she hadn't even given her name, yet this man had already married her.

"Not important." A typical, indifferent Yi Huang-style answer.

"Family status?" Su Zhirui raised an eyebrow and asked again.

"Don't care." Yi Huang replied, still focusing his energy on getting dressed.

"Character, virtue?"

This time, he looked up, glanced at her, and then lowered his head again.

"No need to know."

"Then why did you marry me?" Su Zhirui grew angry and roared.

"Because you wanted me to marry you."

"I want you to go eat shit."

"..."

Seeing Yi Huang speechless, Su Zhirui felt much more balanced in her heart, because there was finally one sentence he couldn't answer.
