August 13, 1985.

The Village Beauty and the Village Tyrant, both well-known in the surrounding ten villages, had gotten married. They threw twenty banquet tables for the wedding, received a bride price of three thousand yuan, plus a watch and a whole pile of other things.

Everyone said that even though the wedding was rushed, the Village Tyrant must really care about the Village Beauty. Otherwise, how could he have made the wedding so grand? Even more luxurious than those in the city!

But little did they know, that wasn’t the case at all.

“Delicate baby, ended up in my hands, didn’t you? Weren’t you laughing at me for not being able to get a wife? Now look who I married? Just wait and see how I crush the flower with my ruthless hands!”

That night was the wedding night. Lu Zhao sat on the edge of the bed, pinching the pretty, pale chin of the bride Su Yunqi, and let out a sinister, cold laugh.

He stood 189 centimeters tall, weighed 80kg, tall and burly. As for his looks—naturally, they matched his rugged build. His tiger eyes were fierce and wide, his face sharply defined, even his eyebrows were thick and dark.

His voice was loud and booming.

He wasn’t ugly; on the contrary, he had a rugged handsomeness. Tall, strong, and muscular, with great strength—he was someone well-suited for physical work.

But unfortunately, he was the infamous Village Tyrant known across the ten villages, also called a good-for-nothing rascal. He spent his days idling, teasing animals, and bullying people. So, at twenty-three, he still hadn’t found a wife.

“You’re so annoying!”

A faint pain came from her chin. Su Yunqi opened her misty apricot eyes and muttered a soft complaint, but didn’t dare scold him any further.

Thinking of her current situation, she couldn’t help but turn her head away, pressing her red, tender lips together. Then suddenly, a tear like a little pearl slipped out—gliding down her beautiful cheek and falling onto Lu Zhao’s fingers.

She was eighteen years old this year, the Village Beauty of Datang Village. Lu Zhao was twenty-three, the Village Tyrant of the neighboring Ertang Village.

There was no school in Ertang Village, so Lu Zhao had attended elementary school in Datang Village. He started school late, and because he often skipped classes, he was held back. Su Yunqi, on the other hand, started school early. So despite the five-year age gap, they ended up being elementary school classmates!

There was only one junior high in the town, so naturally, they became junior high classmates as well.

One thought the other was too delicate, while the other thought he was too overbearing. Su Yunqi used to be quite bold and had scolded Lu Zhao to his face more than once, pointing at his nose.

Later, Lu Zhao didn’t go to high school, but Su Yunqi did. However, she didn’t get into college and had only graduated high school this year.

A high school education was already considered decent in a small town, and she could have found an easy job. But unfortunately, her beauty attracted trouble. While job hunting, she caught the attention of a little hooligan from a neighboring town.

That little hooligan came from a somewhat wealthy family. The Su family only had one daughter, no son, and was weak in power—no match for the hooligan.

Father Su was afraid his daughter would be taken advantage of and, out of desperation, decided to fight poison with poison. He married Su Yunqi off to Lu Zhao. After all, a mighty dragon could suppress a local snake. Lu Zhao already had a notorious reputation—surely even that little bully would fear him!

And so, the unlucky Su Yunqi went from engagement to receiving the betrothal gift and hosting the wedding banquet, all within just half a month—with none other than her childhood arch-enemy, Lu Zhao.

After days of anxiety, the wedding night still came.

And Lu Zhao was still so fierce.

Su Yunqi had always been delicate by nature; how could she hold back her tears?

“Wuwuwu…”

Su Yunqi bit her lip. At first, she didn’t want to cry out loud and give this jerk the satisfaction of laughing at her. But once the tears came, she couldn’t hold them back, and soft sobs escaped her throat.

She sounded just like a small animal being bullied.

Lu Zhao’s lips stiffened. She was crying already? Just like that? Had he hurt her when he pinched her?

He quickly let go of Su Yunqi’s chin and leaned down to take a look—there was a bit of redness.

This delicate baby had such soft and tender skin. Even when she used to make him furious, he had never dared to touch her, afraid she might cry.

In the end, he still couldn’t avoid this moment.

Lu Zhao coughed awkwardly and used his rough fingers to gently rub her cheek, helping her wipe away the tears.

But once Su Yunqi started crying, she couldn’t stop. The tears kept flowing, and there was no end to wiping them.

Lu Zhao looked at her teary red eyes and nose, her eyes still shimmering with moisture, and he couldn’t help but feel tempted.

Su Yunqi had an incredibly soft and beautiful appearance. She stood at 162 centimeters tall, her skin was fair and delicate, with a dainty oval-shaped face, apricot eyes, rosy cheeks, willow-leaf brows, and silky hair that looked like satin. Her slender waist could be encircled with just one hand. And when she cried—she looked heartachingly beautiful.

Even when she was angry, her features became lively and spirited—still very pretty.

No wonder someone had set their sights on her. Thankfully, Father Su had come to him first, and he had managed to snatch her away.

“Don’t cry anymore. I’m not going to hit you.”

Lu Zhao pinched Su Yunqi’s smooth, soft little cheek and spoke helplessly. He was sitting beside Su Yunqi, towering over her by a whole head! His shoulders were nearly twice as wide as hers!

He was no ordinary big guy.

“Really?”

Su Yunqi immediately stopped crying. She turned her little head back and looked at him with red, suspicious eyes.

To be honest, Su Yunqi felt quite guilty. If she had known earlier that she would end up marrying Lu Zhao, she would never have risked her life insulting him. Now that they were married, she was genuinely afraid that Lu Zhao might hit her.

She had seen Lu Zhao beat people before—it looked painful!

That was why she used to say that someone like him would never get a wife. Who would marry a violent man?!

“Wuwuwu…” she had married him!

As soon as Su Yunqi thought about it, an overwhelming sadness welled up in her heart. She pouted her lips, and icy, cool tears streamed down her face once more, falling in a swift cascade.

She cried again.

Lu Zhao helplessly wiped away her tears, but this time, for some reason, his fingers drifted to his lips, and he licked them.

Her tears were salty.

Su Yunqi saw this scene and was so shocked that her eyes went wide. She forgot to cry for a moment.

Then she opened her small mouth and instinctively shouted,

“Pervert!”

Her voice was soft and delicate, making Lu Zhao grit his teeth in irritation.

He lowered his hand, his eyes narrowed, and with a dark expression on his face, he said,

“Say that again.”

Once again, he scolded her. This time, Su Yunqi didn’t dare retort. Instead, she lowered her head, looking pitiful, her shoulders trembling.

She seemed to be on the verge of crying again.

Seeing her fear, Lu Zhao felt frustrated and wanted to hit himself. Things were different now—this delicate baby was scared of him. If he kept being harsh, he would only make her run away!

“I told you, I won’t hit you. Now, lift your head.”

“You only need to do one thing.”

Lu Zhao roughly lifted Su Yunqi’s chin. His voice was deep and commanding, but this time he used only half the strength in his hand, afraid her chin would end up with a mark.

“If you touch me first, and I won’t hit you.”

Lu Zhao placed Su Yunqi’s hand on his weathered, sun-kissed face, which was relatively rough to the touch, and said seriously.

Although he still looked fierce and his tone was harsh, Su Yunqi somehow felt that what he said was genuine.

She pursed her lips, her eyes brimming with tears, and reached out to touch him.

Her face wasn’t as smooth.

“Don’t just touch one spot.”

Lu Zhao waited for her to adjust, then coaxingly guided Su Yunqi’s hand slowly down. She brushed over his Adam’s apple, then moved onto his chest. He removed his shirt, revealing his strong, muscular upper body.

Su Yunqi, feeling a bit curious, continued to touch downward, feeling the firmness of his abdomen, though there were some uneven, bumpy areas.

Her eyes fluttered, her eyelashes still damp with tears, yet filled with curiosity.

“This is abdominal muscle. Those kept men, soft and weak, certainly don’t have this.”

Lu Zhao raised an eyebrow smugly, clearly explaining to her with pride.

Su Yunqi secretly rolled her eyes, knowing he was being narcissistic!

When Lu Zhao saw her bold expression, daring to roll her eyes at him, he didn’t get angry. Instead, he smiled.

He stood up and quickly removed his clothes, his movements sharp and smooth, so fast that Su Yunqi barely had time to react.

“You, you, you… it, it, it!”

“It’s time to sleep, my little wife.”

On their wedding night, Lu Zhao had no intention of wasting any time.
