After confirming that the marks on her neck were all covered up, Ba Yuejiao closed the concealer and put it away.

There was no need to cover the dense marks on her chest; they wouldn't be visible once she put on her clothes anyway.

They would fade in a few days.

Because one wall in the bathroom was entirely a mirror, when Ba Yuejiao squatted down to use the toilet.

She saw the crisscrossing handprints on her thighs, left behind by the madness of last night.

Thinking of that scene, Ba Yuejiao didn't even finish using the toilet; she jumped onto the sofa and buried her face in a throw pillow.

Her mind was filled with that lewd scene.

It was just too chaotic.

However, last night was the first time it had been like that, but it was also very comfortable.

Biting the corner of the pillow, Ba Yuejiao felt a bit of anticipation for the next time.

Similarly, Zhou Rui drove the truck out of the county seat from the Transport Team and then stopped.

"What's wrong, Brother Rui?" Li Haozi asked.

"You drive today; I'll rest for a while."

The two had always taken turns driving, and yesterday was already Li Haozi's turn.

Today should have been Zhou Rui's turn, but last night had been too crazy, and his waist was a bit sore.

Anyway, it was just a short trip, so he would just let Li Haozi drive.

"Fine."

Li Haozi got out of the car, and the two swapped seats.

"Didn't you sleep well last night, Brother Rui?"

Zhou Rui smiled with a face full of spring breeze, "I slept exceptionally well."

"Tsk tsk tsk, this look of being in heat, it's obvious you've been indulging too much," Li Haozi said with malicious intent.

Zhou Rui didn't feel embarrassed at all and nodded affirmatively.

"You, a person who sleeps alone, wouldn't understand such happiness."

"Pfft, Zining said that after the Autumn Harvest, she would take me back to meet her parents. It won't be long before I can also live a life with a wife and a warm bed."

"Then I must congratulate you. Soon, you'll be able to experience the joy of becoming a real man."

Although he was embarrassed, Li Haozi still asked, "Is it really that good?"

"I can only say it's soul-stirring; I wish I could just die in bed."

"Brother Rui, you've changed. Before, when we all went to the river to bathe, you would look down on these dirty jokes."

"That was because I hadn't met the right person."

"This can make a couple's relationship better, and everyone is happy; it's beneficial to both body and mind."

Thinking of last night's events, Zhou Rui wished today would pass by quickly.

He wanted night to fall quickly so he could go back and handle his wife.

With such a beautiful wife, not devouring her a few more times would simply be a waste of a heavenly gift.

Ba Yuejiao was right; this man was simply thinking with his lower half.

Having been told by Zhou Rui that it was so good, Li Haozi was a bit corrupted.

Originally, both he and He Zining had straightforward personalities; they said whatever was on their minds.

Although the two were dating, they hadn't crossed any lines.

Apart from holding hands that one time, they usually watched movies together during their time off.

Other than that, their interactions had always been very proper.

After hearing Zhou Rui's words, when Li Haozi came back in the evening to help He Zining carry water, he actually said he would stay to help her tend the fire and cook.

In the kitchen, Li Haozi sat on a small stool tending the fire, looking up at He Zining as she cooked diligently, and he felt that she was particularly beautiful in this moment.

Thinking that this would be their little home in the future, and that they would cook together like this, Li Haozi suddenly felt that life was truly wonderful.

He stood up unconsciously and hugged He Zining from behind.

It gave He Zining a big fright, "You, what are you doing?"

"Zining, when I have my next break, let's go meet your parents."

"Yeah, didn't we say that before?" Being held by his solid chest, the man's body heat radiated over, and He Zining blushed.

This was the first time she had been held in the arms of a man other than her family.

So this was what it felt like.

It felt very solid and secure.

"Then after we meet your parents, shall we get married?" Although the two had decided to meet the parents, they hadn't decided when to get married yet.

"So soon?"

"Is it fast? Brother Rui's child is almost a year old, and by then, there will be a second and a third?"

He Zining thought for a moment and nodded, "Then I'll write a letter to my mother in advance to let her know, so she can be mentally prepared."

"Really? You agree?" Li Haozi hadn't expected it to go so smoothly.

"My agreement isn't the smooth part; you have to win over my parents," He Zining said with a smile.

"That goes without saying; I will definitely make your parents satisfied." Li Haozi was so happy that he became bold, directly lowering his head to kiss He Zining's cheek.

"Rascal!" He Zining turned around, covered her face, and glared at Li Haozi with accusatory wide eyes.

Having known He Zining for so long, he could tell at a glance that she wasn't truly angry.

Li Haozi just laughed, "I'm only a rascal to you; who told you to be my partner."

Li Haozi, with no fear of death, grabbed He Zining's face and kissed her fiercely.

He Zining looked at Li Haozi with her flushed face, feeling that this domineering and strong Li Haozi made her heart flutter.

She just looked at him with the eyes of a little fangirl.

Li Haozi looked at this scene very happily, then stared at He Zining's lips.

Last time the two went to watch a movie together, he saw the protagonist in the movie using his tongue to kiss the heroine.

It seemed like it tasted very good.

Taking advantage of the fact that He Zining hadn't reacted yet, Li Haozi imitated the scene from the movie and kissed He Zining.

Stunned, He Zining had no idea what was happening until she felt Li Haozi's tongue inside her mouth.

She was greatly shocked; she had lost her first kiss.

This was a real kiss, not just a peck.

He Zining wanted to step back and hide.

However, Li Haozi had already tasted it; how could he let her go?

One hand wrapped around her waist, the other pressed against her head, and he kissed her more deeply.

After a while, He Zining relaxed and began to wrap her arms around Li Haozi's waist.

That night, Li Haozi was so happy in his room that he rolled around on the kang, savoring that kiss.

He Zining was the same; her mind kept flashing back over and over to that blushing, heart-pounding scene.

Covering her lips, she smiled with a heart full of yearning.

The next day, when Li Haozi went out with Zhou Rui, Li Haozi asked Zhou Rui for advice.

"Brother Rui, if I go to propose marriage, what do I need to buy, and how much should I prepare for the betrothal gift?"

"You've stumped me there; you know how I married your sister-in-law."

Li Haozi thought about it and realized it was true; they hadn't had a formal proposal or meeting of parents at the time.

"Ask your sister-in-law when we go back tonight about how much the betrothal gift usually is for marrying a wife over there, and what to bring when proposing."

"My wife is familiar with your future parents-in-law, so you can take the opportunity to find out roughly how much of a dowry they might want," Zhou Rui suggested.

In the evening, after Li Haozi finished eating at home, he actually went over; a lifelong event like this couldn't be taken lightly.

Ba Yuejiao knew his intention, so she smiled and asked Zhou Rui to go inside, cut a watermelon, and bring it out so they could talk slowly.

"Where we're from, for marrying a wife, the minimum betrothal gift is fifty yuan. If the family of the person you're marrying is better off, one hundred or two hundred is also common."
