Reborn through an arranged marriage, I awakened the Shennong farming system.

Half an hour passed quickly, and Hua Gengchen immediately stood up and went upstairs. It had been a full half hour since he last saw Su Bai, and it felt like half a century had passed. He couldn't wait to see Su Bai again.

Hua Gengchen walked up to the second floor with slightly anxious steps, took a deep breath before opening the door and going in. The room was lit, but quiet, so Hua Gengchen lowered his voice and asked, "Madam, are you asleep?"

As expected, no one answered. Hua Gengchen guessed that Su Bai might have fallen asleep, so he moved even more quietly, afraid of disturbing Su Bai.

Upon entering the inner room, Hua Gengchen discovered that Su Bai hadn't slept at all. Instead, she was sitting on the edge of the bed, staring blankly at her phone, which was already off, seemingly lost in thought. Hua Gengchen tiptoed over and sat down next to Su Bai. His gaze slowly fell upon Su Bai, and he couldn't look away.

The moment Su Bai came to her senses, she met Hua Gengchen's eyes. The undisguised emotion in his deep eyes made Su Bai's heart tremble. She took a step back, widening the distance between herself and Hua Gengchen. "When did you get here?"

I didn't know that people can scare each other to death!

"Just now." Hua Gengchen would never admit that he had been staring at Su Bai for quite a while. "What were you thinking about just now?"

"I wasn't thinking anything..." Su Bai said慌乱地. How could he possibly tell Hua Gengchen his true thoughts? It would cause a huge problem if he did, and he was already overwhelmed by Hua Gengchen. "I'm going to wash up first." Before he finished speaking, Su Bai kept his distance from Hua Gengchen, went to the closet to get a change of clothes, and then went to the bathroom.

"Tsk." Hua Gengchen clicked his tongue as he looked at the closed and locked door. He needed to think of a way to stop Su Bai from avoiding him like this!

After stroking his chin and thinking for a moment, Hua Gengchen came up with a brilliant idea! That is, let Su Bai get used to his closeness, just like he gets used to him liking Su Bai and being good to Su Bai.

Having made up his mind, Hua Gengchen went to the wardrobe to get a change of clothes. He also needed to take a good shower. Besides, it was time for him to properly learn what Hua Jueming had passed on to him.

Hearing the door close, Su Bai breathed a sigh of relief. The look Hua Gengchen gave him just now almost made Su Bai fall for him, but luckily he managed to break free in the end.

September is already autumn, and the temperature in the morning and evening is starting to drop. After washing up, Su Bai looked at the quilt on the bed, thought for a moment, took out a spare quilt from the closet, and spread it on his side.

He still had to maintain his distance from Hua Gengchen, and it was obvious to anyone that Hua Gengchen wouldn't sleep in another room, so Su Bai had no choice but to use this method.

After making the bed, Su Bai lay down, covering herself completely except for her head. When Hua Gengchen returned after washing up and saw the two blankets on the bed, his eyes darkened sharply.

Su Bai originally thought that Hua Gengchen would be angry after seeing what he did, and might even tear off his blanket, but Hua Gengchen did not do anything, which made Su Bai feel uneasy.

The unease in her heart made Su Bai not dare to look Hua Gengchen in the eye. She pulled the blanket over most of her head and lay down with her back to Hua Gengchen.

Seeing this, Hua Gengchen raised an eyebrow and smiled. Did Su Bai think that this would prevent her from getting close to him? How adorable!

Walking to the other side of the bed, Hua Gengchen sat down first and placed his hand on the light switch, saying, "I'm turning off the light."

"Hmm." Su Bai hummed softly, even though he wasn't sleepy at all.

Before Su Bai could finish speaking, Hua Gengchen turned off the light, and the room suddenly went dark. Su Bai blinked to adjust to the sudden darkness.

Then, a rustling sound came from behind, probably Hua Gengchen getting ready for bed. Just as Su Bai was about to catch her breath, thinking that the day would pass peacefully, an arm suddenly draped over her waist through the quilt.

Before Su Bai could even cry out in surprise, Hua Gengchen had already slipped his other hand through his neck and placed his foot on top of Su Bai's. Then, using both hands and feet, Hua Gengchen pulled Su Bai into his arms in a daze, and he ended up nestled in Hua Gengchen's chest, breathing in all of Hua Gengchen's scent.

"Shh!" Hua Gengchen said above Su Bai's head, "Madam, don't move if you don't want me to do anything more intimate."

Why shouldn't he make any moves?

He was the one who got taken advantage of, not Hua Gengchen!

Su Bai immediately bristled; this was a threat!

Absolutely a threat!

But Su Bai is the least afraid of threats!

"Let me go before I do anything to you!" Su Bai struggled uncomfortably for a moment before realizing how wrong his decision to sleep alone under a blanket had been! Hua Gengchen was holding him and the blanket together. He could have struggled with his hands and feet, but because of the blanket, he couldn't use any strength at all. Only his head could move freely, but it was firmly pressed against Hua Gengchen's chest by his large hands.

Hua Gengchen didn't take Su Bai's harsh words seriously at all. He narrowed his eyes, lifted Su Bai's chin with his hand, lowered his head and kissed Su Bai's lips, pressing most of his body weight on her, using his actions to prove to Su Bai just how intimate he wanted to do with her.

Su Bai froze. All his feelings of being hugged and uncomfortable vanished. All that remained was the person pressing down on him and the sensation coming from his mouth.

Hua Gengchen's kiss was still as domineering and forceful as ever. Su Bai tilted her head back to receive it, and all her sobs were forced to be swallowed.

"Do you understand how I feel?" After a long kiss, Hua Gengchen breathed heavily, looking deeply at the person lying in his arms. The occasional flash of desire in his eyes made Su Bai tremble with fear.

Su Bai subconsciously began to shrink his neck, trying to bury his entire face in the blanket, not wanting to answer Hua Gengchen's question.

Hua Gengchen's eyes could see in the dark, so he could see Su Bai's every move clearly. Recalling the feeling just now, Hua Gengchen still felt it wasn't enough, and said in a hoarse voice, "Still struggling?"

Su Bai shook his head and obediently lay still in Hua Gengchen's arms. Between being held to sleep and 'being held to sleep,' Su Bai could wisely make the most shrewd choice.

"Tsk." Hua Gengchen expressed his regret. He had actually hoped that Su Bai would be more confrontational towards him at this time. He slumped back onto the bed, tightened his grip on Su Bai, found the most comfortable position, closed his eyes, and went to sleep!

Su Bai remained stiff and nervous for more than ten minutes until he heard the person above him breathing evenly, at which point he finally relaxed.

He's never gone to bed this early before, and with so many things happening today, his mind is a mess. How could he possibly fall asleep?

After waiting for another ten minutes or so, until Hua Gengchen was fast asleep, Su Bai slowly moved her body and managed to break free from his embrace. She had only moved two or three centimeters when the man, who should have been fast asleep, suddenly tightened his arms, pulling Su Bai back into his embrace, and even nuzzling her head.

Su Bai's heart jumped into his throat. He held his breath and waited for a while, but in the end, he decided to just go to sleep.

Resting her head against Hua Gengchen's chest, her face pressed against his skin, listening to the strong heartbeat so close to her, Su Bai slowly closed her eyes.

After a while, Hua Gengchen opened his eyes, looking at Su Bai with a smile on his lips. He became more and more engrossed in looking at him, and the more he looked, the more he wanted to look.

No sleep for one night.

Su Bai woke up groggily just as dawn was breaking. Although his alarm hadn't gone off yet, he had slept very well the night before and didn't feel sleepy even though he woke up early.

Su Bai rubbed his eyes, yawned with his eyes half-closed, and then stretched out a big yawn.

Straightening his leg, Su Bai touched a warm object, and suddenly realized something was wrong...

It seems he was held by Hua Gengchen while he slept last night.

Su Bai froze as he stretched. Why had he given in and fallen asleep last night? More importantly, he didn't feel like he hadn't slept well while being held by Hua Gengchen. On the contrary, he felt like he had slept very well, even more so than usual. Why was that?

Hua Gengchen saw everything Su Bai did, smiled and reached out to pinch Su Bai's cheek, greeting her in a slightly hoarse voice, "Good morning, my wife!" After saying that, he left a kiss on Su Bai's forehead.

He had never felt so satisfied watching someone sleep, but the truth was that he had indeed watched Su Bai's sleeping face all night last night, and he still felt he hadn't seen enough, wishing he could watch until the end of time.

Su Bai's eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at the other person. "You, you, how could you kiss me?"

Did he agree?

Is it permitted?

Hua Gengchen chuckled and whispered intimately in Su Bai's ear, "You are my wife, how can I not kiss you? Besides, what I want to do is more than just kiss..." As he spoke, Hua Gengchen's large hand moved downwards through the blanket.

Su Bai immediately lay flat on his back in alarm, looking at Hua Gengchen in horror. "What do you want to do?" Hua Gengchen had just confessed to him yesterday, and he hadn't even accepted him yet. Did Hua Gengchen already want to do *that*?!

Hua Gengchen didn't say anything. Wasn't his behavior obvious enough?

Thanks to the learning materials Hua Jueming had sent him before, Hua Gengchen now knows a lot more!

After realizing his feelings for Su Bai, Hua Gengchen made a point of taking the time to carefully study what Hua Jueming had sent him.

Upon meeting Hua Gengchen's deep eyes, Su Bai was instantly terrified. What was in them was truly frightening, making his heart race. He immediately stammered, "I...I need to go to the bathroom! My stomach hurts!"

Before Hua Gengchen could fully react, Su Bai flipped himself and the blanket over to the side, frantically shaking off the blanket, and then fled into the bathroom.

After locking the bathroom door from the inside, Su Bai patted his chest and gasped for breath. That was too close! He almost lost his innocence!

Hua Gengchen, once he's had his moment of enlightenment, is simply irresistible!
