Since Zheng Jun's incident, I haven't had a proper rest.
I took off the groom's attire, blew out the red candle, and slipped into the quilt.
The jade snake seemed to have disappeared somewhere. In a daze, I seemed to see it lurking on the windowsill.
After who knows how long I had slept, when I was half asleep and half awake, I faintly felt a cold object lifting the covers and slipping in beside me, pressing against me.
I didn't know if I was awake or dreaming. I caught a whiff of a faint fragrance of a young girl in my nose. I turned my head and was almost scared out of my wits.
Inside my quilt lay a young girl about the same age as me.
The girl's eyes were clear. In the darkness, her eyes were as bright as pearls.
Her features were delicate, her skin fair, her black hair cascading down like a waterfall, a veritable beauty.
I sat up, clutching my chest, curled up in the corner, trembling as I asked, "Who... who are you?"
I racked my brains, searched my mind for any impression of this girl, but found none. I had lived in this village for over ten years and had never seen this girl in green clothes before. Compared to the village belle Ada in my mind, this beautiful girl in green clothes was like the moon facing the sun, dim and incomparable.
The girl propped herself up, her eyes sparkling, smiling coyly at me. "What do you think I am?"
The girl wore a red bellyband, well-developed. When she sat up, the snow-white patch on her chest almost enchanted my soul.
But at that time, I was still a child at heart, utterly ignorant of matters between men and women, with no dirty thoughts in my mind.
I shyly covered my eyes with my hands, muttering incessantly, "Men and women should not be too close! Men and women should not be too close!"
At this moment, my mind was in a mess. On the one hand, I was shocked. I didn't know where this girl had come from, let alone why she had secretly climbed

into my bed in the middle of the night. On the other hand, I was excited. Although I was a child, I was still a male creature. I was quite willing to accept
such an erotic thing.
"Hehe! You're really funny!" The girl covered her mouth and laughed, her voice as melodious as music.
I spread my fingers and discreetly sized up the girl through the gaps between them. "You haven't answered my question yet. Who are you? Why are you in my bed?"
The girl gently sniffed, smiling at me, saying something that shocked me to the core: "Who am I? I'm your wife! Hehe!"
"Wife? When did I get another wife? I..."
I was stunned, my eyes wide open, trembling with disbelief as I looked at the girl in front of me. My voice was trembling as I spoke, "You... you... you're that... snake?!"
The girl nodded. "Yes, I'm called Liu Qingqing!"
I pinched my cheek hard. It couldn't be! I must be dreaming! I must be dreaming!!
"Hey, are you thinking of backing out of the marriage?" Liu Qingqing stood with her hands on her hips, looking straight at me.
Backing out of the marriage?!
Marrying such a beautiful wife is definitely every man's dream. How could I possibly back out of the marriage?
As the saying goes, "Every cloud has a silver lining." Am I, Yang Cheng, experiencing a change of luck? The heavens have actually bestowed upon me a celestial wife. This feels like a dream, too incredible to believe!
"Are you really that snake?" I asked timidly, still somewhat incredulous.
"You're not that old, but you're as talkative as an old man!" Liu Qingqing pouted and lay back in bed.
I crept over, quietly watching Liu Qingqing's lovely face in the faint moonlight shining through the window. Beautiful! Truly beautiful!
At that time, "The Legend of the White Snake" was airing on TV, my favorite TV series. The White Snake in it was my dream lover. And Liu Qingqing's appearance was surprisingly similar to the White Snake, stunningly beautiful and with a hint of charm.
My heart was pounding, thinking to myself, "Have I watched too many TV dramas, so I've had such a dream?"
Just then, Liu Qingqing suddenly said, "Quick, lie down, she's here!"
Before I could react, Liu Qingqing pulled me into the quilt.
I pressed closely against Liu Qingqing's smooth and delicate body, feeling uncontrollably hot all over, like a brand-new iron just taken out of the furnace.
"Who... who is she?" I asked in confusion.
"Don't talk!" Liu Qingqing's voice was somewhat serious. "No matter what you see or hear later, don't move. As long as you don't make a sound, she won't find you!"
With that, Liu Qingqing suddenly stuffed something into my mouth. It felt like a fingernail shell, cold and hard.
"Hold it in your mouth, and she won't find you!" Liu Qingqing said, gently pinching my palm. I immediately closed my mouth.
All around was silent, I could only hear my own heartbeat, and Liu Qingqing beside me seemed to be asleep, not saying a word.
Suddenly, a cold wind blew outside the courtyard, the wind was so strong that it made the windows rattle.
The temperature in the bedroom seemed to drop suddenly. Even lying in the quilt, I felt a chilling coldness. My body, which had been hot as iron, suddenly cooled down, like an iron thrown into water.
I was very nervous, not knowing who the "she" Liu Qingqing mentioned was.
Gradually, a shadow appeared on the window, twisting and turning like a ghost, showing various irregular shapes.
Slowly, that shadow turned into a figure.
I stared at the figure on the window, not daring to breathe.
The figure stood outside the bedroom. Although separated by the window, my intuition told me that the person was scrutinizing me.
The more I looked, the more familiar the figure seemed, as if I had seen it somewhere.
From the curve of the figure, it was not difficult to see that this was a woman, with a graceful figure and long hair coiled on her head, giving her a very elegant feeling.
I suddenly froze. The figure on the window, wasn't it the one wearing a red cheongsam, Yin Hongyi?
At this moment, I finally understood what Liu Qingqing meant by "she's here". It turned out that Yin Hongyi had come. This damn woman had actually come knocking on my door!
I was frozen, lying stiffly on the bed, not daring to move at all.
My heart was trembling violently, fear was like a whip, desperately trying to get me out of bed.
I wanted to run, really wanted to run, but in my mind, Liu Qingqing's admonition echoed: "No matter what you see or hear later, don't move. As long as you don't make a sound, she won't find you!"
