As the door closed with Hua Yan’s departure, Xu Yi felt relieved that he wouldn’t be seen in such an embarrassing situation. However, as his clothes were slowly removed, he blushed and his heart raced. “Miss Jin, I… we…”
“Don’t you trust me?” Jin Yu replied, taking off his clothes and hanging them by the bed. She began removing his lower garments, “I said I won’t touch you tonight, and I won’t. We’ll be married in a few days, and then you’ll know.”
As Jin Yu removed his pants, Xu Yi’s body stiffened and trembled. “I… I understand…” he stammered, nervous about being seen.
Now in his inner garment, Xu Yi shivered from the cold. Jin Yu embraced him, helped him lie down, covered him with blankets, and then began removing her own clothes. The rustle of fabric disturbed him, and his heart raced, face heating up. He tried to distract himself, saying, “Miss Jin, I brought the wedding dress I made myself. Can I wear it when we get married? Even if it’s not as good as what the mansion makes, I put my heart into it…”
“Okay, I’m sure what you made is better,” Jin Yu replied with a smile.
Xu Yi giggled, “Yes, I also cut many ‘happiness’ characters.”
Sure, paste all the ones you cut. Our new room is big enough,” Jin Yu said, indulging him.
“But… I want to keep some to look at later,” Xu Yi said, his eyes welling with tears. “I forgot I can’t see…”
Jin Yu was stunned, realizing he was thinking about his eyes. She lifted the blanket and embraced him. “You’ll be able to see in the future.”
“No,” Xu Yi shook his head. “Let’s not see. This is good enough.” His hand trembled as it moved up Jin Yu’s clothes. “Miss Jin, can I touch your face? I want to remember you…”
Jin Yu felt warmth in her eyes and guided his hand to her face. “Yes, you can touch me every day from now on.”
Xu Yi giggled, lovingly caressing her face. “A long time ago, I never thought I’d be this close to you.”
