Parents' Love: My Childhood Sweethearts with Jiang Weidong

The first rays of morning light shone into the quiet room through the gaps in the curtains.

Inside the room, from the doorway to the bedside, the two people's clothes were scattered on the floor. Following the clothes, a white arm, as white as a lotus root, hung down from the bedside.

The arm belonged to Lin Wangshu, who was fast asleep with her eyes closed, head to head with Jiang Weidong.

The sunlight outside grew stronger and stronger, slowly creeping onto Lin Wangshu's closed eyelids. She frowned, mumbled something, and finally opened her eyes.

Looking at the large, unmistakably male hand in front of her, Lin Wangshu blinked, her mind gradually clearing.

The passionate kisses, the rough hands, and the ripped shirt buttons from last night—scenes that made Lin Wangshu blush and her heart race flashed through her mind.

Lin Wangshu bit her lower lip and shifted uncomfortably, only then realizing that she was completely naked.

Feeling the warm breath on her neck, Lin Wangshu carefully removed the hand that was resting on her waist with two fingers.

Turning over, Lin Wangshu saw that Jiang Weidong still had his eyes closed and was breathing evenly. A look of doubt flashed in Lin Wangshu's eyes. When did his vigilance become so poor?

Lin Wangshu's hand, hidden under the blanket, tentatively scratched his abs. Sure enough, Jiang Weidong's eyelashes trembled violently.

That kid's faking being asleep!

Lin Wangshu was furious and pounced on him, biting his nose.

Jiang Weidong finally broke down in laughter, cupping Lin Wangshu's face in his hands and saying, "Little Moon, I was wrong, please don't bite me anymore."

Lin Wangshu finally relented, glaring at him through gritted teeth, and demanded, "Why were you pretending to be asleep?!"

Jiang Weidong hummed twice, rubbed his nose, which had been bitten by teeth, against Lin Wangshu's neck, and said aggrievedly, "I was afraid that if I woke up, it would embarrass you."

Indeed, both of their clothes were under the bed, and with their skin pressed together, Lin Wangshu was so flustered that she didn't know where to put her hands and feet.

Her eyes swept across the bed, but she couldn't find any of his clothes. Lin Wangshu grabbed his ear and said in a bluffing tone, "Where are my clothes?"

Lin Wangshu didn't hear a reply, but felt an itch on her neck. One hand slowly and tenderly moved up her back from her waist.

Jiang Weidong's palms had thick calluses from years of handling guns, and the sight of his hands gliding across her skin made Lin Wangshu tremble uncontrollably.

“Wei…Wei Dong, no…” Lin Wangshu held his head in her hands, her voice trembling, “This place…is really dirty.”

Jiang Weidong paused. Last night, because of those words, he almost bit his teeth off before he managed to hold back and sleep with the person all night.

"I know, let me hold you for a while, I need to catch my breath," Jiang Weidong said irritably to Lin Wangshu, stopping what he was doing.

Lin Wangshu felt sorry for him, so she patted his back comfortingly and said softly, "When the time comes... I'll listen to you."

Jiang Weidong didn't speak, only gave a muffled "hmm," and then hugged her even tighter.

Lin Wangshu, her face flushed, waited silently for him to calm down before taking the clothes he had picked up from the ground and struggling to put them on under the covers.

Jiang Weidong moved quickly, already dressed and ready, and was now sitting on the sofa, propping his head up and watching her with a leisurely air.

"Little Moon, I've seen it all, I've touched it all, is there any need for you to hide it from me?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Wangshu peeked out from under the covers, her face flushed from being suffocated, and said angrily, "Are you sure? I'm just worried you can't take it."

Jiang Weidong coughed awkwardly, "Never mind then, just wear it like that."

To distract himself, Jiang Weidong picked up the phone, intending to tell his family that he and Wang Shu had gotten their marriage certificate.

"Really? That's wonderful! Come back quickly, Mom will throw a big party for you at home!"

Hearing An Jie's excited voice, Jiang Weidong shook his head helplessly, "There's no need for such trouble. Neither Wang Shu nor I intended to be so ostentatious."

Anjie reacted strongly and immediately refused, "That won't do. This is a once-in-a-lifetime event, and we can't be careless."

"Besides, the uncles and aunties on the island still talk about you. They often ask your dad and me if you're married yet. Holding the wedding on the island is a way to give everyone an explanation."

Jiang Weidong found it amusing. He exchanged a glance with Lin Wangshu, who was listening next to him. Both of them felt helpless. How long had it been? Why were they still thinking about it?

Anjie was still talking on the other end of the phone when she sighed and said, "I'm doing this for your dad. Ever since he retired, he's been idle and depressed all day long."

“I thought that your wedding would make the house more lively and your dad would be happier.”

Hearing this, Jiang Weidong and Lin Wangshu were no longer opposed. "Alright, we'll do whatever you say!"

Anjie was delighted and said excitedly, "Okay, leave it to me, I'll definitely make you satisfied!"

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Weidong looked at the obedient Lin Wangshu in his arms and suddenly asked, "Wangshu, do you like wedding dresses?"

Upon hearing the word "wedding dress," Lin Wangshu frowned and shook her head. "All in white, I don't like it."

This surprised Jiang Weidong. "Really? I heard from my comrades that wedding dresses are very popular now, and their partners all ask them to wear them when they get married."

Lin Wangshu genuinely disliked it, saying, "I still think wearing a red dress is more festive for a wedding."

At this point, Lin Wangshu's eyes lit up, and she sat up straight and said to Jiang Weidong, "Didn't you give me a red dress before? I looked great in that one."

“That won’t do!” Jiang Weidong shook his head repeatedly. “That’s been so many years. I’m not going to buy you a new one. I don’t want to make you suffer.”

Lin Wangshu smiled and hugged his neck, whispering, "It's not the dress that matters, it's you. As long as it's you, I'm willing to wear anything."

Jiang Weidong felt a warmth in his heart upon hearing this, and kissed her rosy lips. "Let's buy a new one, and be my most beautiful bride."

Lin Wangshu smiled gently and nodded, saying, "I'll do whatever my husband says!"

So, the two of them went back and asked for a week's leave for their wedding. Lin Wangshu was a little embarrassed, after all, she had just reported for duty and had already asked for such a long leave.

Her supervisor didn't mind at all, readily granted her leave, and even congratulated her on her marriage with a smile.

Anjie sent out wedding invitations to all her relatives and friends at home, and spent the whole day by the phone.

Jiang Defu shook his head, saying, "Teacher An, how many people are you planning to invite? Our house can't hold them all."

Anjie, wearing glasses, was flipping through the family's phone book. "Invite as many as you can. It's Wang Shu's wedding; the more lively the better."

"Have you called Weiguo yet? His younger brother is getting married, he probably doesn't even know yet."

"Oh dear!" Anjie slapped her forehead. "How could I forget about him? Why didn't you say so earlier? I'll call him right now."

An Jie then found Jiang Weiguo's number and called him. "Weiguo, your brother and Wang Shu are getting married next week. Do you have time to come back?"

"This..." Jiang Weiguo hesitated on the other end of the phone, "Mom, I can't leave..."
