The process of getting the marriage certificate wasn’t complicated. They just had to change their status to “married” on their terminals, take a wedding photo, and stamp the marriage certificate.

That was it— they were legally a married couple now.

The person in charge of processing their marriage certificate looked at them excitedly and wished, “May you grow old together!”

“Thank you, we will,” Ye Qingyun took the marriage certificate and nudged Gu Shenyuan, “Right?”

Gu Shenyuan was still staring at his marriage certificate in a daze.

Only when Ye Qingyun reminded him did he answer, “Mm.”

After both of them had received their certificates and left the registration point, Ye Qingyun nervously asked, “So what do we do now?”

The sky was still bright, so it wasn’t the right time for that kind of thing.

Were they going to show off their love in front of the media? Or start their honeymoon and travel together?

Gu Shenyuan didn’t answer, Instead he grabbed Ye Qingyun’s hand and led him to the spaceship.

The spaceship started and quickly flew toward its destination. Shortly after, Ye Qingyun saw his new home.

Why did they come back so directly? Could it be…

The spaceship stopped, and Gu Shenyuan pulled Ye Qingyun off the ship.

Ye Qingyun, trying to make conversation, said, “The sun is so nice today. Should we go out for a stroll?”

Gu Shenyuan didn’t answer.

Ye Qingyun continued, “You must have been exhausted handling so many things alone while we were apart. Want to tell me about it?”

The two of them had already reached the front door. Gu Shenyuan opened it and pulled Ye Qingyun inside.

The room had no lights on, and the curtains were all drawn. Due to the excellent light-blocking properties of the curtains, the only source of light came from the door they had opened.

“Bang!”

The door slammed shut with force, and all light was cut off. Even though it was daytime, the room was as dark as night.

The light switch, which should have been automatic, remained off, indicating someone had given instructions beforehand.

“…Gu Shenyuan? Why aren’t you turning on the lights?” Ye Qingyun fumbled around, trying to find the switch, but was suddenly pushed against the wall with force.

His back pressed against the cold wall, and hot breath followed as an aggressive kiss came at him.

Ye Qingyun struggled but couldn’t break free. Instead, he wrapped his arms around Gu Shenyuan’s neck and adjusted into a more comfortable position.

After a long while, Ye Qingyun was given a brief moment of freedom.

“Why… why are you in such a hurry?” Ye Qingyun’s voice was still a bit breathless.

“It’s still daytime. Are we… sleeping already tonight?”

“No.” Gu Shenyuan finally spoke.

Ye Qingyun gasped.

“Do you know what time it is? It’s still morning!” Ye Qingyun tried to reason with him.

“You won’t sleep tonight. We can’t go from day to night, then back to day, right?”

“Why not?” Gu Shenyuan’s forehead rested against Ye Qingyun’s.

“Ye Qingyun… I’ve waited too long for this day.”

On this day, he and Ye Qingyun became legal partners, and on this day, he was going to have all of Ye Qingyun.

“You…” Ye Qingyun seemed to have many things to say, but in the end, he only sighed.

“Anyway, let me take a shower first.”

At Ye Qingyun’s words, Gu Shenyuan loosened his grip slightly and turned on a dim wall light.

Under the yellowish light, Ye Qingyun finally saw Gu Shenyuan’s expression.

Gu Shenyuan still had that cool, indifferent face, but deep in his dark eyes, there was an uncontrollable, fiery desire burning like fire.

Ye Qingyun swallowed and managed to escape Gu Shenyuan’s hold, almost running toward the bathroom.

He tried to calm his rapidly beating heart while convincing himself not to be nervous.

It was his first time. If he said he wasn’t scared, that would be impossible.

As he thought about all the steps he had learned from “The Eighteen Steps to Make Your Husband Obey,” he tried to clean himself up even more, even though he was already quite clean.

He only knew so much. He wasn’t sure if it would be enough.

…Would Gu Shenyuan keep going from today until tomorrow?

No, it would be fine. There would be breaks in between, and it couldn’t go on forever.

What if Gu Shenyuan got tired and fell asleep during a break?

What if Gu Shenyuan’s body couldn’t handle it and couldn’t last long in the upper position?

The more Ye Qingyun thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed. He gathered his courage, put on his clothes, and opened the bathroom door.

The room had the same dim light, and Gu Shenyuan, wearing a bathrobe, was sitting by the bed, obviously just finished showering.

When he heard the sound, Gu Shenyuan turned to look at Ye Qingyun, and the warm light illuminated his face, carrying a hint of ambiguous charm.

Ye Qingyun hesitated for a moment before walking toward him.

What should he say? What should he do? Should he say something to set the mood? Should he help Gu Shenyuan undress? Should he sit or lie down?

How should he start this?

As a beginner, countless questions swirled in Ye Qingyun’s mind, making him unsure of what to do.

Ye Qingyun approached Gu Shenyuan, who pulled him to sit down.

Gu Shenyuan touched his damp hair. “Your hair is still wet.”

Ye Qingyun awkwardly said, “Oh, I’ll go blow dry it…”

But Gu Shenyuan didn’t let him leave. Instead, he dried his hair for him.

“It’s done.”

“…Mm.”

“Are you ready?”

Ye Qingyun wanted to say he wasn’t ready yet and ask for more time to mentally prepare.

But Gu Shenyuan didn’t give him time to respond. Before Ye Qingyun could even say a word, he was suddenly spun around, and after a dizzying moment, he found himself lying in the center of the bed.

Gu Shenyuan followed, and the intense pressure that came with him made Ye Qingyun stiff as a stone.

Gu Shenyuan’s hand rested on Ye Qingyun’s cheek, and sensing Ye Qingyun’s stiffness, he whispered, “It’s okay, relax.”

“I… I’m relaxed,” Ye Qingyun insisted.

Gu Shenyuan smiled, and then Ye Qingyun felt a tingling sensation on his back that made his body go limp.

It was the tattoo!

The lines of the tattoo no longer stayed in place but seemed to come alive, moving all over his back.

“This… what is this…” Ye Qingyun reached out to touch it but was stopped by Gu Shenyuan, who held his hand above his head.

“Ye Qingyun,” Gu Shenyuan kissed the corner of Ye Qingyun’s lips, his gaze filled with desire that made Ye Qingyun shiver.

“Feel me.”
