The first time in history

The sturdy and exquisite step-out bed was creaking at this time. Xiao Cui came in with a copper basin and was about to help Li Shishi wash up. When she heard this sound, her face instantly turned red. She turned around and left in a hurry.

"I came back last night," Qian Mingduo got off Li Shishi, "but the city gates were already closed, so I had to stay outside the city for one night."

Li Shishi crawled into Qian Mingduo's arms and panted, "Why did you come back in such a hurry? You must be so tired!"

"I miss you. I miss you so much that I can't sleep." Qian Mingduo hugged Li Shishi and stroked her smooth and delicate back.

Upon hearing this, Li Shishi bit Qian Mingduo's shoulder fiercely. "Your words are enough for my whole life." Her tears flowed down.

The pain in his shoulder instantly brought Qian Mingduo's thoughts back to the Wu Yue period. He thought of Xi Shi biting his shoulder. That was a bite mark of deep love, an expression of deep affection.

"How did you do in the exam?" Li Shishi raised her head. "You rushed back without waiting for the results to be announced. How hard it must have been for you!"

"You did well in the exam. I just missed you. Let's go to the capital together tomorrow. I have already bought a carriage."

Li Shishi sat up suddenly. "What did you say? Are you leaving tomorrow? Are you only going to stay at home for one night? Why?"

Qian Mingduo stared at Li Shishi's plump and fair chest, "If I'm late, I won't be able to catch up with the palace examination. If I pass the examination this time, I'm afraid it will be too late."

"You've traveled for several days just to take me to Beijing?" Li Shishi threw herself into Qian Mingduo's arms and said with a sob, "You little rascal, I don't know how to say you well. My sweetheart!"

"My dearest?" Qian Mingduo smiled. "I should be the one saying this to you. Now that you say this to me, I feel a little shy."

Li Shishi looked up at Qian Mingduo, her eyes full of tenderness and attachment. "You are my little friend, my sweetheart." She pouted her cherry lips, "Kiss me..." Qian Mingduo nodded, "I'll kiss you, from head to toe."

"Xiao Cui!" Li Shishi called out from the doorway, "Come here for a moment."

"Girl, what do you want me to do?" Xiao Cui came out from the kitchen.

Qian Mingduo put on his shoes and came to the door.

"Pack your things for the trip. We will go to the capital with the young master tomorrow morning." Li Shishi sighed softly, "I don't know what to bring with me."

"Miss, are we going to Beijing tomorrow?" Xiao Cui asked with eyes wide open, "Are we in such a hurry?"

Li Shishi nodded and said, "We have to rush to the city before the results of the imperial examination are announced, otherwise it will delay the young master's palace examination."

"If I don't pass the imperial examination, then I won't delay anything." Qian Mingduo walked into the kitchen and took a look. "What are we having for dinner today?"

Xiao Cui glanced at Li Shishi and said, "Yesterday afternoon, the young lady asked me to go to the street to buy several dishes. I felt like the young lady seemed to know that you were coming back."

Qian Mingduo looked at Li Shishi, "Do you feel that I am coming back? Ask Xiao Cui to buy so many vegetables."

Li Shishi nodded, "I dreamed about you a few days ago, and I dreamed about you again the day before yesterday..." Li Shishi looked at Xiao Cui, "I asked Xiao Cui to buy a few more vegetables. Even if you don't come back, we won't have to go out to buy vegetables for a few days."
