Chapter 50: The First Time—How Could She Not Be Nervous?
The night was dark and deep…
In the small courtyard, a dim yellow light glowed in the washroom, standing as the only beacon in the darkness.
The courtyard gate creaked open.
With a soft squeak, a tall and upright figure stepped inside.
Zhou Zhongshan strode forward with large steps, but when he heard the sound of running water coming from the washroom, his footsteps paused.
He turned his head toward the washroom and noticed the faint glow of warm light seeping through the gap beneath the door.
A scene suddenly flashed through his mind.
It was from several days ago—Jiang Rou, her damp hair cascading over her shoulders, her thin, soft clothing clinging to her body like a second skin, molding against the pale curve of her chest.
Damp. Translucent. Intimate.
Zhou Zhongshan’s gaze darkened.
In just that brief moment of distraction, the sound of water in the washroom ceased.
A short while later, the wooden door swung open, and the figure lingering in Zhou Zhongshan’s mind stepped into reality, walking toward him gracefully.
Jiang Rou held a dry towel in her hands, sweeping her long, dark hair to one side. Tilting her head slightly, she wrapped the towel around her hair and pressed it gently, rubbing back and forth to absorb the moisture.
She was wearing a white sleeveless blouse adorned with tiny floral patterns. As she moved, the fabric revealed the smooth curve of her slender neck, her delicate arms, and her slim waist.
Her skin, soft as fine porcelain, seemed to glow under the cool moonlight.
At this moment, she appeared even more delicate and alluring than she had during the day.
There was an indescribable blend of innocence and temptation about her.
In those days, there was no such phrase as “pure yet seductive.” but a man’s appreciation for beauty had never changed with time.
Zhou Zhongshan’s breathing deepened, his body heat rising slightly.
His Adam’s apple bobbed heavily.
It was only after stepping out of the washroom that Jiang Rou noticed Zhou Zhongshan.
Her hands stilled in the motion of drying her hair, and her delicate red lips curved into a faintly sweet smile.
“Zhongshan, you’re back. Have you eaten dinner?”
“I have. At the military unit canteen. I…”
Suppressing the warmth rising in his chest, Zhou Zhongshan spoke. His voice, thick with the night air, was deeper than usual, carrying a hint of hesitation.
He originally wanted to say: “I just came back to take a look.”
To see how Zhou Xiaochuan was recovering and to see whether Jiang Rou could adapt to life here.
As of now—
He and Jiang Rou had indeed confirmed their relationship and could be considered husband and wife.
However, deep down, Zhou Chongshan remained restrained. He had no intention of rushing into a physical relationship with Jiang Rou so soon.
Because Jiang Rou looked young and delicate.
He was afraid of scaring her.
He thought that if they deepened their feelings first, everything would fall into place naturally.
Within this rough and rugged man’s heart, there was actually a hidden, pure love.
But—
All of Zhou Chongshan’s careful considerations vanished the moment he laid eyes on Jiang Rou.
To hell with developing feelings!
To hell with things happening naturally!
Jiang Rou was his wife. Since when did a man leave his soft, fragrant wife aside and go back to the Military Camp office, lying alone on that narrow and small steel-wire bed?
Besides, news of Zhou Chongshan and Jiang Rou’s marriage had already spread throughout the Military Unit.
If Zhou Chongshan dared to return to the Military Camp tonight, he would undoubtedly become the laughingstock of everyone by tomorrow.
They might even say—
“Regiment Commander Zhou… could it be that he’s not capable?”
Otherwise, why would he spend his wedding night alone and sleepless?
Beneath Zhou Chongshan’s seemingly calm expression was a fierce and complicated internal struggle.
Jiang Rou could not hear his thoughts.
She simply spoke naturally and affectionately.
“Having a meal is good. You’ve been exhausted for a whole day and night. Hurry and take a bath, then go to bed early and rest.”
A bath…
Go to bed…
Jiang Rou’s voice was exceptionally gentle, but when it landed in Zhou Chongshan’s heart, it was as loud and explosive as gunfire.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Each shot hit the bullseye.
“Alright.”
Zhou Chongshan’s chest rose and fell as he responded heavily.
The newlywed couple exchanged a glance under the night sky before quickly looking away.
Then, one strode toward the washroom.
The other turned toward the bedroom.
On the surface, it all seemed calm and natural, but only they knew how loud the pounding of their hearts was in their chests.
—
Inside the bedroom.
Jiang Rou’s hands moved faster and more erratically as she wiped her hair.
Ahhhhhh…
She screamed internally.
This was her wedding night! Her wedding night!
Even though she had lived two lives, in her previous one, she had been a lifelong single. She had a bunch of internet husbands, but in reality, she had never even kissed a man.
And now, she had suddenly taken a great leap forward.
Not only did she have a child, but she had a husband. And now, she was about to have a sex life too!
After all, this was her first time!
How could she not panic?
The more Jiang Rou thought about it, the more flustered she became. It wasn’t just her mind that was in chaos—her body also started to feel a stifling heat.
That heat came from the countless dirty thoughts flooding her brain.
After all, in her previous life, thanks to advanced internet technology, she had watched more than her fair share of those kinds of videos.
Even if she had never eaten pork, she had definitely seen pigs run.
Not only had Jiang Rou seen plenty, but thanks to all the R-rated novels she had read, her theoretical knowledge was extremely rich.
Zhou Chongshan had sharp and rugged features, and his nose, in particular, was tall and prominent.
In novels, they said that looking at a man’s face, particularly his nose, was equivalent to assessing his wealth and potential.
As for Zhou Chongshan’s appearance…
He was definitely a man of extraordinary talent!
These were things Jiang Rou had never seen before, but there were also things she had seen.
The first time she laid eyes on Zhou Chongshan…
He was naked!
Completely bare, only wearing a pair of pants.
What chest muscles, abs, or V-line…
The way his muscles shimmered under the sun, bursting with strength, firm and toned, yet so enticing!
If a man like this wasn’t enough, then who else could be?!
The heat inside Jiang Rou’s body was running wild, crashing everywhere.
Especially on her face, her pale, delicate features had already turned a tempting peach-pink, and even her earlobes, neck, and chest were flushed a bright crimson.
In Jiang Rou’s eyes, there was a soft, shimmering light.
She was flustered, tightly clutching her small hands, pacing in circles inside the small room.
At that moment.
Jiang Rou vaguely heard the sound of a door opening from the courtyard, the door of the water room.
Zhou Chongshan was coming!
Jiang Rou’s body stiffened.
She didn’t care about anything else, immediately turned off the lights, took off her shoes, pulled back the covers, and got into bed to sleep.
It wasn’t that she wanted to pretend to be asleep.
It was simply that she didn’t know how to face Zhou Chongshan.
It was already this late!
She was the one who had brought up the marriage, she was the one who had taken the first kiss, but she couldn’t…
Was she supposed to take the initiative for this too?!
Jiang Rou hid under the covers, her white teeth biting her lower lip as she shamefully thought about it.
…
On the other side, in the water room.
Since it was late at night, the water in the bucket on the roof was already cold.
Beside it was a thermos, the leftover hot water from when Jiang Rou had showered earlier.
But Zhou Chongshan didn’t even glance at it.
He turned on the shower, and cold water poured down on his strong, muscular body.
Zhou Chongshan stood unmoving under the water, not even furrowing his brows.
Part of it was because he had spent over ten years in the Military Unit, where he had long been used to taking cold showers.
The other part was…
He needed to calm down right now…
