Countdown to Awakening

With the faint moonlight coming in from the window, Zhou Jianguo turned his head and looked at Luo Xinxin.

She blushed a little, wrapped herself tightly in the quilt, and lay on her back, looking at the ceiling, as if she didn't know what she was thinking.

"Well... you..."

Zhou Jianguo paused after saying something, but didn't say anything else. He was also a little embarrassed.

Luo Xinxin was panting, recalling the scene just now.

"I...I feel a little pain...just now..." Luo Xinxin hesitated. Zhou Jianguo turned around and gently hugged Luo Xinxin in his arms, saying softly: "I'm sorry, Xinxin, I will pay more attention next time."

This action surprised her. He actually hugged her? Luo Xinxin also huddled closer to him and whispered, "It's actually okay. It just hurts a little bit. My mom said it's the same for everyone. There will be some pain on the wedding night."

The two were still chatting, their affection barely warming to the present moment, when they heard a slight noise outside. Zhou Jianguo, alert, whispered to Luo Xinxin, "Stay here and be quiet. There might be rats outside." After turning on the light, he put on his clothes, sat up, and cautiously walked towards the door.

At this time, Luo Xinxin also quickly put on her clothes. She sat on the bed waiting for Zhou Jianguo to open the door to see what was going on.

When he opened the door, he found Zhou Changjin and Wang Xiaohong standing outside. The scene was a bit awkward, and then the old couple saw Zhou Jianguo's disheveled appearance, and their faces suddenly became a little embarrassed. It turned out that they had been listening to the noise inside... They had planned to leave soon, but they didn't expect to be discovered by the young couple.

Zhou Jianguo frowned. This was a bit awkward. Who would have been listening outside the door the entire time? But he still asked, "Mom and Dad, what are you doing here so late?" Zhou Changjin gritted his teeth. Since he'd already been discovered, he might as well just admit it. He replied, "I just wanted to see how your wedding night went."

Hearing this, Luo Xinxin also dressed and came over. After all, she was the elder, and she couldn't act arrogantly just because she had just married into the family. Seeing the expressions of the old couple and combining their previous conversation, she vaguely guessed something. But she still smiled and said to Wang Xiaohong, "Mom, it's so late, you should go to bed. It's autumn now. What if you get frozen again?"

Her face turned red. She felt so ashamed at the thought that the two of them had heard everything that had just happened that she wanted to find a hole to crawl into, which would be more decent.

Seeing that their son and daughter-in-law were in good condition, the two did not say anything else.

"Then... then let's go back to our room and rest... You should have a good rest too... It's late, and Xinxin has to get up early to cook tomorrow." Zhou Changjin said hesitantly.

After the two elders left, Luo Xinxin and Zhou Jianguo looked at each other.

After closing the door, Luo Xinxin couldn't help but say, "My mom said there's a custom of eavesdropping through cracks in the door, but you can't listen the whole time... I... oh, I'm so embarrassed."

My low moan just now must have reached the ears of the two elders. I don’t know how to face them in the future.

"Hey... they are my parents after all. They just want to know our... let's be more accommodating to them. After all, they are old and the elders. As their son and daughter-in-law, we can't blame them."

After hearing what he said, Luo Xinxin didn't know what to say.

Zhou Jianguo glanced at the white towel on the bed and couldn't take his eyes off it.
