Chapter 267: Some Little Daily Moments: Thank You, Husband
Chapter 267
About the Honeymoon Trip
For their honeymoon, Chu Yang chose a famous honeymoon destination - a romantic city on the Mediterranean. Chi Yan, of course, had no objections.
However, despite it being called a trip, Chu Yang was confined to the hotel room for two straight days without stepping outside. Yes, she was held captive in bed by Chi Yan for a full 48 hours. Even an iron-willed witch couldn't withstand such treatment. When she finally got up, her legs felt as soft as noodles.
They had arrived at the hotel around 6 PM. After nearly a day of travel, both were quite tired, so they ate a little and went to rest.
At midnight, Chu Yang woke up. The entire room was dark, as all the lights were off and the curtains were drawn tightly shut.
She opened her eyes, her mind still a bit foggy. As she moved her hand, she felt what seemed like a wall. After feeling the "wall" a couple of times, her hand was suddenly grabbed.
Chu Yang made a questioning "Hmm?" sound, and Chi Yan immediately pulled her into his embrace. "Trying to tempt me?" he asked.
Before Chu Yang could comprehend his meaning, Chi Yan's other hand slid up from her waist to her face, his fingers tracing her lips before he leaned in and pressed his lips directly against hers.
"..."
The belt of her bathrobe came undone with a single tug. Chu Yang hadn't fully awakened yet, but Chi Yan had already started his feast...
What followed was a hazy blur for Chu Yang. The curtains remained closed, occasionally fluttering open slightly when the wind blew, only to quickly close again.
Even at mealtimes, it was Chi Yan who brought food to the bedside for her to eat. When it was time to bathe, he carried her to the bathroom...
Chu Yang bit down hard on Chi Yan's shoulder, instantly leaving teeth marks. Chi Yan didn't feel any pain; instead, it seemed to excite him more. His movements were gentle, but the force Chu Yang felt was intense.
...
Two days later, Chi Yan finally opened the curtains. Sunlight streamed in, causing Chu Yang to squint and shield her eyes with her hand. The red marks on her arms appeared even more vivid in the light.
Chi Yan brought her a glass of warm water. Chu Yang took a sip and declared, "I want to go out today!" Her voice was still hoarse.
Chi Yan sat down beside her. "Can you... walk?" The question earned him a glare from Chu Yang, and he immediately surrendered. "If you can't, I can carry you on my back."
It took two hours to get ready. Standing in front of the mirror, Chu Yang wore a languid long dress. Her neck and collarbone were covered in a dense pattern of love bites. She had no choice but to use powder to lighten them a bit. Grabbing a small bag, she left the room with Chi Yan, who had been waiting for quite some time.
They first sampled some local cuisine, then began exploring the streets and alleys, taking in the local customs and culture.
Chi Yan constantly held a camera, frequently taking photos of his wife and occasionally asking passersby to help take pictures of them together.
Beautiful stone houses, flowers peeking out here and there, green patches of grass, clean streets - the air was filled with the scent of sunshine.
There weren't many people on the streets. Chi Yan and Chu Yang strolled leisurely, occasionally entering small shops to browse and buy trinkets.
As evening fell, Chi Yan took her to a high-end restaurant for dinner. The entire restaurant was very quiet, with dim, romantic lighting. It seemed that all the patrons were couples - one pair holding hands and chatting, another exchanging passionate glances.
As soon as Chi Yan and Chu Yang sat down, Chi Yan received a phone call and stepped out.
When he returned, he was holding a bouquet of vibrant roses, which he presented to Chu Yang.
Chu Yang accepted the flowers with a smile, only to discover a small box and a card hidden among the blooms. The card read: "To the one I love most."
Opening the box revealed a diamond necklace.
As Chu Yang went through these motions, Chi Yan watched her expectantly. Chu Yang closed the box, set the flowers aside, and beckoned Chi Yan with a crook of her finger. He leaned forward, and Chu Yang stood up to kiss the corner of his mouth. "Thank you, husband."
Chi Yan was stunned. "What... what did you call me?"
Chu Yang smiled, her eyes crinkling with joy. She sat back down, resting her chin on her hand as she looked at him. "I said thank you, husband."
Chi Yan gazed at her with excitement and delight, grabbing her hand. "Say it again."
"Husband~"
"Yes!" Chi Yan felt as if he had reached the pinnacle of his life at that moment!
Previously, Chu Yang had never called him "husband," usually addressing him as "Ah Yan" instead.
In bed, when Chi Yan teased her too much, Chu Yang would sometimes call him "brother," but never "husband."
As they continued their meal, the couple became increasingly affectionate. Chi Yan hand-fed Chu Yang, at one point moving to sit next to her just to feed her a cherry tomato - not in the usual way, but by holding it between his teeth and passing it to her mouth-to-mouth.
They were seated in a corner, which was fortunate, and the restaurant's atmosphere was quite intimate anyway.
If they were back in China, they might have been accused of "torturing single people" with their display of affection. But here in the restaurant, apart from the staff, no one was "single." Everyone was focused on their own beloved.
Throughout the evening, Chi Yan would occasionally say to Chu Yang, "Wife, call me that again."
"Ah Yan."
"No, no, the other one."
"Husband~"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Chi Yan was overjoyed. "Wife, baby, you're wonderful. Mwah!" He planted a firm kiss on her cheek.
They had drunk red wine with dinner, and Chu Yang was slightly tipsy. On the way back, she leaned quietly against Chi Yan, who would occasionally bend down to kiss her.
Back at the hotel, Chu Yang kicked off her shoes and flopped onto the bed. Chi Yan poured her a glass of warm water, then came over and kept caressing her face. "Shower?"
Chu Yang shook her head. "In a bit, let me rest for a while." Her face was flushed, making her look particularly adorable. Chi Yan couldn't resist kissing her again and again.
After half an hour of rest, Chi Yan asked once more, "Shower?"
Chu Yang nodded. "Carry me."
Chi Yan carried her into the bathroom.
When they came out, both were wearing bathrobes, and Chu Yang was already drowsy.
Due to the day's exertions, Chi Yan didn't initiate anything further. He turned off the lights, held her in his arms, and they went to sleep.
The next day, they woke up once again to sunlight. Chu Yang felt particularly refreshed, probably due to the good rest she had the night before.
Today's itinerary included a sea excursion...
Vibrant and beautiful coral, swaying seaweed, occasional sightings of sea turtles - everything in the ocean was so mysterious. Chu Yang and Chi Yan, dressed in diving suits, were admiring the beautiful and profound underwater world.
At one point, Chi Yan grabbed a beautiful shell and handed it to Chu Yang. When they had seen enough, the couple surfaced...
Removing their masks, Chu Yang held the shell up high. In the sunlight, the beautiful shell emitted an enchanting glow. Chu Yang carefully put the shell away and kissed Chi Yan's cheek. "Thank you, husband."
