My Arranged Marriage Partner Has Two Faces 39

Chapter 39

The nightgown’s fabric was soft and silky, looser than the online order, clinging to his body.

The width and narrowness were barely suitable, but the length was a bit “skimpy.” A normal V-neck slit, on the tall and leggy Xi Shi, became a deep V with a high slit, his waist and hip lines clearly defined, curving into an alluring arc.

The saying “a brother’s waist, a deadly knife,” was probably about this.

However, what caught Zhong Yuxiao’s attention the most wasn’t the nightgown, but Xi Shi’s legs, long and straight, clad in stockings.

Two different ones.

Over-the-knee stockings were separate for each leg, and Xi Shi was wearing a white stocking on one leg and a black stocking on the other.

“Are you seducing me?”

Forget asking questions, even if Xi Shi made some unreasonable demands, he definitely wouldn’t be able to refuse.

Zhong Yuxiao’s eyes reddened, and he wrapped his arms around Xi Shi’s waist, his palm touching the firm and warm skin. His breath hitched, his eyes flashing with disbelief and surprise.

“Xi Shi…”

Two crossed straps were loosely tied on Xi Shi’s back. The nightgown was backless.

Zhong Yuxiao’s mind exploded.

The bathroom door was violently flung open with a loud bang, as if something had fallen to the ground. Zhong Yuxiao didn’t care, all his attention was on Xi Shi, he couldn’t spare a single thought for anything else.

“Zhong Yuxiao!” Xi Shi called out urgently, grabbing his shoulders.

His body suddenly lifted off the ground, the feeling of weightlessness disappearing instantly. By the time Xi Shi reacted, he was already being carried by Zhong Yuxiao and placed on the bathroom counter, his bare back against the cold mirror. He instinctively tried to dodge, but was met with Zhong Yuxiao’s scorching kiss.

The kiss was fierce, Xi Shi’s tongue numb from being sucked.

Fuck, fuck, fuck, why were they suddenly kissing? He hadn’t even asked his question yet!

“Calm—”

“Sorry, I can’t calm down.” Zhong Yuxiao pressed closer, holding his head, swallowing all his words, the ambiguous sounds of water echoing in the bathroom, making his heart race.

The straps of the nightgown slipped down, and as Xi Shi raised his hand, it was caught and held captive.

Zhong Yuxiao was like a predator on the hunt, using all his strength and every trick to trap his prey in his arms, not allowing him the slightest chance of escape.

“Xi Shi, you brought this upon yourself.”

He had originally planned to let Xi Shi off the hook for now, until after the proposal, the wedding, when they were officially together, on their wedding night.

But Xi Shi always surprised him.

He didn’t care about anything anymore. He could propose after they had sex, he could hold the wedding after they had consummated their marriage. As for being official, he and Xi Shi had already registered their marriage, they were legally a couple. Was there any proof more official than the law?

The so-called wedding night didn’t have to be on a specific date, it could be tonight.

He calculated, tonight was perfect for a feast.

Zhong Yuxiao’s mind was filled with only one thing – eating grass. He had been hungry for too long, waited for too long, his patience had run out, and he couldn’t wait to devour his grass, to claim Xi Shi completely.

Even if God himself came tonight, he wouldn’t be able to stop him from eating his fill!

After an unknown amount of time, Zhong Yuxiao finally released Xi Shi’s lips, shifting his focus to explore more delicious parts of the grass, such as the plump leaves.

The leaves had absorbed a lot of nutrients and were growing well, on both sides of the V-shaped mountain range.

The starving little sheep’s eyes were red, shining at the sight of the delicious grass. He knew that the leaves were the most tender and juicy part of the grass, the best food, he wouldn’t be able to stop after one bite. No sheep could resist the temptation of top-quality feed.

“Wait, I have something to ask you.”

I’m not here for sex!

The prolonged kiss made his mind fuzzy, and it took him a while to remember his purpose.

Xi Shi pushed his head away. “What have you been busy with lately?”

The relaxed leaves were like freshly made rice cakes, soft yet firm, and Zhong Yuxiao’s teeth itched, he couldn’t help but take a bite.

Xi Shi instinctively dodged, and the light-colored nightgown became see-through after getting wet.

Grass was a plant easily affected by external factors, especially the leaves. Under the gardener’s careful care, red buds would grow in the center of the leaves, but unfortunately, not all buds could bloom.

Fortunately, Zhong Yuxiao wasn’t fond of nectar. A skilled and aesthetically-minded gardener like him cared more about whether his flowers were the most beautiful.

If the buds weren’t up to par, the gardener would use various methods to ripen them, patting the leaves to wake up the sleeping grass, or gently pinching the buds to help them bloom.

Zhong Yuxiao was a skilled gardener, and now, to ripen his favorite grass to a state suitable for feeding the little sheep, he used all his skills.

“Are you a dog?”

“No, I’m a grass-eating sheep.” Zhong Yuxiao looked up, staring at the saliva-stained fabric, his tone casual, but his eyes brewing a storm. “I’ve been busy figuring out how to make the grass willingly let me eat it.”

“What?”

“It’s been quite effective.”

Hadn’t Xiao Cao Xi washed himself clean and jumped into his mouth?

Zhong Yuxiao smiled brightly. “Xi Shi, use my shower gel, okay? You said it smells good before.”

Taking a shower?

It didn’t matter what shower gel he used. Xi Shi nodded blankly. “Okay.”

Zhong Yuxiao’s shower gel did smell good, the elegant sandalwood scent seemingly having a sleep-inducing effect. Sleeping while smelling it noticeably improved his sleep quality.

“Then I’ll help you.”

Before eating the grass, it had to be thoroughly cleaned. Pesticide residue was a serious problem nowadays, and although Zhong Yuxiao wasn’t worried about his grass getting sick, washing it inside and out was the greatest respect for food.

Xi Shi was dragged to the bathtub in a daze. Zhong Yuxiao didn’t fill the tub with water, but instead, picked up the showerhead.

Before Xi Shi could ask, the shower was turned on, the water flow set to the lowest setting. Zhong Yuxiao showered him thoroughly, as if watering a plant.

“You haven’t taken off your clothes yet.”

Xi Shi wiped his face. The nightgown was wet and clinging to his body, the stockings also soaked, feeling strange against his legs.

He tugged at them uncomfortably.

Zhong Yuxiao grabbed his hand and held it behind his back. “The clothes look good, don’t you think?”

He asked, but his actions were unambiguous, without any intention of seeking consent.

Xi Shi was confused. “How can I shower with my clothes on?”

Zhong Yuxiao probably wanted to take a couple’s bath with him. During the bath, they could help each other, test the results of his teaching, and exchange experiences.

Zhong Yuxiao turned off the shower and threw two bath towels on the floor. “Who said we’re taking a shower?”

They hadn’t even started yet, why shower? They could shower after they were done.

He nudged Xi Shi’s knees with his own, forcing him to kneel by the bathtub. The thick towels cushioned the floor, soft and neither hard nor cold.

Xi Shi held onto the bathtub, belatedly realizing that this position wasn’t right.

His instincts as a top screamed in alarm.

“Zhong Yuxiao, what are you doing?” He widened his eyes. “Don’t tell me you’re going to…”

“Yes, you guessed right.”

The sandalwood scent of the shower gel wafted over from behind him. Zhong Yuxiao pumped a few times, the milky white shower gel landing on Xi Shi’s back. Xi Shi shuddered, feeling the sandalwood scent enveloping him.

Plain grass was delicious, but seasoned grass was equally tempting to a sheep. Like potato chips, some preferred cucumber flavor.

He hadn’t had time to buy strawberry sauce, so today, he could only eat sandalwood grass, but Zhong Yuxiao wasn’t picky.

Xi Shi turned his head in panic, only to meet those familiar golden eyes, filled with determination. He felt like his throat was being choked, instantly understanding his dire situation.

He had unknowingly become marinated grass, about to be placed on the grill and turned into a delicious meal.

Zhong Yuxiao smiled and leaned closer, kissing his lips. “You promised to let me help you, husband.”

“…”

Calling me “husband” at a time like this is useless!

Xi Shi protested righteously, “No, absolutely not!”

He was a top, a genuine top! In the market, type 1 grass was rare, and his quality was even rarer, not meant for feeding sheep. This was simply… a waste!

“Oh.”

“Did you hear what I said?”

“I did.”

“Then why the fuck aren’t you taking your hand away?!”

“I’m not.”

“…”

Neither verbal protests nor physical resistance worked.

Zhong Yuxiao focused on washing the grass single-mindedly. Water! Shower gel! Scrub, scrub, scrub! From the outside in, from shallow to deep, he tried to connect a point to a line, then expand to a surface, finally constructing a three-dimensional spatial passage.

A qualified gardener should know how to wash grass, how to thoroughly clean it under all sorts of harsh conditions.

Washing grass was a very important skill, much more important than waiting for someone to pick up the soap. It was related to the harmony of life, the reproduction of humankind, and the development and changes of society.

“Ow—fuck you, Zhong Yuxiao, take your hand out!”

Some sensitive and irritable grasses would become sentient during the washing process, struggling to escape. The gardener had to appease the grass in time to prevent serious consequences, such as divorce.

Zhong Yuxiao kissed him soothingly, his tone apologetic. “Sorry, it’s my first time doing this for someone.”

He was usually the one being served.

The tables had turned, and now it was his turn to serve someone, but if it was Xi Shi, he was willing.

Zhong Yuxiao enthusiastically washed the grass.

The grass was being washed while cursing.

His experience was similar to Zhong Yuxiao’s, why should he be the one lying down?

“Fucking let go of my hand, my wrist is twisted, it hurts! It’s going to be dislocated!!”

Zhong Yuxiao kissed his neck. “Don’t worry, it won’t be dislocated, I know what I’m doing.”

“…”

You know my ass!

“You don’t want me to tie your hands up, do you?”

Xi Shi wanted to curse, trying to ignore the unfamiliar feeling, reminding him, “Marital rape is illegal!”

“You dressed like this and came to me, how can this be considered rape? This is just couple’s fun, husband~”

“…Stop calling me husband!”

You bastard who doesn’t follow the basic laws of sex!

Zhong Yuxiao chuckled and readily complied. “Okay, wife.”

Xi Shi: “…”

Fuck.

The diligent gardener finally finished washing the grass. He put on his sheepskin and politely greeted his dinner. “I’m going to start now.”

The dinner tried to jump off the plate. “No condom.”

Eating grass required a condom, just like eating with chopsticks. Using your hands wasn’t hygienic, even after washing them… Zhong Yuxiao frowned. Could he really give up this feast?

No, grass was like ginseng, it could run away. If he didn’t eat it now, who knew when he would get another chance?

Zhong Yuxiao thought for a moment. He had personally washed the grass, and no other sheep had touched it. What was wrong with eating with his hands?

Absolutely nothing wrong.

Hand-eaten food was even more delicious!

Zhong Yuxiao easily convinced himself and happily took a bite of the grass. “I don’t mind you.”

Xi Shi was his exception, he could compromise all his principles for Xi Shi.

Xi Shi’s vision darkened. Are you fucking starving? Haven’t you eaten in centuries? You’ve even lost your bottom line?

Zhong Er, you’ve changed!!!

He didn’t know whether to be angry or touched, almost choking, the veins on the back of his hand bulging as he gripped the bathtub, his chest heaving, unable to even curse.

The little sheep finally entered the little grass’s belly.

No, the little grass was finally eaten by the little sheep.

Things had come to this point, Xi Shi tried to comfort himself, it was no big deal, it was just… He loosened his grip, and the rampaging little sheep bumped him against the bathtub. The young master winced in pain.

Fuck!

There was no way he could be okay with this!

A tiger out of its cage was dangerous, and a little sheep out of its pen wasn’t docile either. Not only did it eat grass wildly, but it also deliberately bullied its feeder, like a mischievous child, butting him with its horns.

Antelope horns were long, usually about 15 to 20 centimeters. Xi Shi was “lucky,” the antelope horns he encountered were even longer, a full 21.3 centimeters, a rare sight even in the world. Even without force, it would still hurt when butted against someone.

Xi Shi thought: Fuck my luck!

The sky gradually darkened, the moon replacing the sun, day ending, night falling.

Xi Shi yawned sleepily, his eyes slightly teary. He stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, the stars twinkling above, the mortal world that trapped him behind him.

After an unknown amount of time, as the city gradually fell asleep, his mortal world finally let him fall.

“Thank you for the meal.”

Zhong Yuxiao leaned down and kissed his forehead.

Xi Shi mumbled something sleepily. Zhong Yuxiao carried him to the bedroom, and as soon as Xi Shi touched the bed, he closed his eyes. Half-asleep, he felt a coolness on his finger, a golden band slipped onto his ring finger.

He didn’t notice and fell into a deep sleep.

Zhong Yuxiao licked his lips contentedly. “Proposing is easy.”
