The couple looked at each other.
There was confusion in their eyes.
What was their mother doing here?
Before Li Xiao could speak, Lin Xiaoyue had already rushed to the door and asked, “what’s wrong, mom?”
Outside the door, Liu Shi was stunned when she heard that it was her daughter who answered.
She hesitated for a moment before continuing.
“Cough, it’s getting late. Xiao’er should go back and rest.”
Sigh, she didn’t want to be the wet blanket.
However, her daughter’s body was not fully developed, so they shouldn’t consummate the marriage yet.
She was doing this for her daughter’s own good.
The two in the room instantly understood what Liu Shi meant.
Then, Lin Xiaoyue smiled.
Li Xiao was disappointed.
This amused Lin Xiaoyue.
Knowing that her mother was still waiting outside the door, Lin Xiaoyue suppressed her laughter.
“Yes, mom. We’ll talk for a while more. My husband will go back soon,” she said.
Li Xiao’s ears twitched.
His disappointment was gone, and he looked a little excited.
The word “husband” made his heart heat up.
In the past, she would always call him by his name. Although it sounded different, it was not as nice as the term “husband”.
Liu Shi stood outside the door. A hint of hesitation flashed across her face.
However, she thought it was awkward for her to stand at the door and watch her son-in-law leave the bridal chamber.
“There’s hot water on the stove,” she finally said. “Hurry up and wash up and go to sleep. I’ll go to bed now.” With that, Liu Shi left.
She knew that her daughter knew her limits. Since she said that, she definitely wouldn’t let Li Xiao stay overnight.
As for her son-in-law, he was drunk and full of energy. She did not trust him.
Li Xiao didn’t know that in his mother-in-law’s eyes, he could be a man without self-control.
When he heard his mother-in-law’s footsteps leave, Li Xiao reached out and pulled his wife into his arms again.
It was a strong embrace, as if he wanted to bury her into his chest.
Lin Xiaoyue didn’t refuse.
“Two years is too long.” Then, Lin Xiaoyue felt her ears turn hot. Li Xiao’s hot breath blew onto her ears.
“Can we wait just one year?” Before she could reply, Li Xiao continued.
The corners of Lin Xiaoyue’s mouth curled up, but she quickly suppressed it.
“No,” she replied.
She thought two years was too soon.
Li Xiao didn’t reply and hugged Lin Xiaoyue for a long time without moving.
After an unknown period of time, he finally let go of Lin Xiaoyue.
Staring at Lin Xiaoyue’s beautiful face, he said firmly, “alright, then I will wait for you for two years.”
Lin Xiaoyue’s heart skipped a beat.
Li Xiao stood up.
“Go wash up,” he said.
Lin Xiaoyue blushed and nodded.
Only then did Li Xiao leave.
Time flew by, and another eight days had pa.s.sed. In the blink of an eye, it was the day of enrolment of Qingyun Academy
On this day, Xiao Qing and Lin Xiaozhi changed into clean clothes and went to partic.i.p.ate in the entrance examination of the Qingyun Academy.
Seniors were exempted from the entrance examination. Only the new students had to take it. Not long after the examination, the results were out.
“Not bad. Xiao Qing will go to Cla.s.s 3A. If he can pa.s.s the examination in the first month, the academy will recommend him to partic.i.p.ate in the county examination in the second month..”
