“Baby, it’s time to get up and have breakfast!” Looking at the still-sleeping Jiang Li, Zhou Chao gently kissed her forehead.

“Mmm- I want to sleep some more!” She naturally wrapped her arms around Zhou Chao’s neck.

“Get up quickly, you lazy pig. If you don’t get up now, I’ll have to use some disciplinary measures!” Zhou Chao helplessly pulled back the covers, revealing Jiang Li’s flawless body.

“No-” He was already dressed thinly, and being embraced by Jiang Li, her softness pressed against his chest, causing Zhou Chao to have an erection.

“Now you can’t get up even if you want to!” As he spoke, Zhou Chao kissed her, and his right hand began to explore Jiang Li’s delicate body.

“Hubby, 1 just started my period!” Just as Zhou Chao was about to remove his own clothes, Jiang Li whispered in his ear.

Zhou Chao, who originally intended to “battle with his spear,” suddenly froze.

“When did it start? It didn’t come last night, right?”

“It started this morning!” Jiang Li smiled like a fox.

“Alright, you’re getting more cunning. You did it on purpose!”

Zhou Chao finally realized that it was a trap set by Jiang Li from the beginning.

“Hehe, since you’ve been tormenting me these past few days, I wanted you to experience the frustration of not being able to ‘fire’ too!” Saying this, Jiang Li got out of bed, and Zhou Chao confirmed that she was telling the truth.

“Well, it looks like I’ll have to endure it for a while!” Zhou Chao patted his “good buddy” and then looked at Jiang Li.

Feeling Zhou Chao’s passionate gaze, Jiang Li quickly covered her mouth and upper body, shaking her head repeatedly.

“Ahem, what are you thinking? Even if I wanted to, you wouldn’t want it. Forget it, I’ll take a shower!” Zhou Chao looked somewhat dejected, shook his head, and turned to walk towards the bathroom.

“Wait!” Upon hearing Jiang Li’s voice, a mischievous smile appeared at the corner of Zhou Chao’s mouth, as if he had successfully executed a plot. However, it quickly vanished.

“What’s wrong, wifey?” Zhou Chao turned around, looking at Jiang Li with a puzzled expression on his face.

How about… how about I help you with that?” Jiang Li suggested with a hand gesture.

“Let’s just forget it. Your period just started, and you’re not feeling well. I don’t want to trouble you. I’ll handle it myself!” A high-level operation is to make the other person feel guilty and reluctant. You don’t need to say it; the other person will take the initiative to speak.

“Since that’s the case, you can do it yourself!”

Just as Zhou Chao was about to enjoy the fruits of victory, Jiang Li’s words directly sent him into the abyss.

“You little rascal, I don’t know you very well, but you’re a sly one. You want to trick me, huh? Forget it, I’ll go take care of it myself!” Seeing Zhou Chao’s frustrated expression, Jiang Li burst into laughter.

Zhou Chao couldn’t stand it anymore. He directly pulled Jiang Li into his arms, captured her lips, and began to entangle with her. His hands didn’t stop either, kneading, massaging, and caressing, making Jiang Li’s face turn crimson.

“Hahaha, if it’s uncomfortable, let’s be uncomfortable together!” Seeing Jiang Li getting emotional, Zhou Chao quickly released her and ran to the bathroom.

Jiang Li sat on the bed, watching Zhou Chao running away, but her face was filled with a happy smile.

“You rascal!” After calming her emotions, Jiang Li found her clothes and put them on. As soon as she stepped out of the room, she saw the breakfast set on the table.

A bowl of hot porridge, a few small steamed buns, and a fried dough stick.

Jiang Li picked up the fried dough stick and started eating, murmuring to herself, “I’ll get you next time. I’ll make you beg and call me Jiang Li the Great!”

“What are you mumbling about?” Zhou Chao, who had already emerged from the bathroom, was wiping his head with a towel, his upper body exposed.

“N-nothing, this fried dough stick is pretty good!” Jiang Li awkwardly held up the fried dough stick in her hand.

“Well be setting off soon. Do you have anything else to do?”

“Nothing really, but, hubby, when I was in Lushan County before, 1 visited my cousin. My cousin said he might be transferred back to Jingdu!”

“Back to Jingdu? He should have gone back a long time ago. He’s been in Lushan for quite a while.”

“Yeah, that’s what I said.”

“After this trip, if there’s nothing urgent, I should go back and visit our parents.”

Jiang Li tilted her head and thought for a moment. “Sure, it won’t delay us for more than a few days.”

“I’ll pack up our luggage, you go ahead and eat!” Zhou Chao said as he walked towards the bedroom.

By the time Jiang Li finished her breakfast, Zhou Chao had already come out with a suitcase.

“Is everything packed?”

“Yeah, I checked, nothing’s left behind.”

“Then let’s go, start our first honeymoon trip!” Jiang Li waved excitedly, and Zhou Chao suddenly remembered that this was their first trip since they got married.

“Let’s go!”

Hand in hand, the two of them walked outside.

Zhou Chao went to the parking lot after leaving the room, and Jiang Li, sitting in the passenger seat, seemed particularly excited.

“Wifey, what do you think about buying a camera to document our trip?”

“Don’t we have smartphones? My phone is specifically for taking pictures!” She proudly showed off her phone to Zhou Chao.

“Alright, then Ill leave the photography to you!”

“Quick kiss! Let’s go!”

Zhou Chao smiled and started the car.

The journey from Rong City to Fenghuang was 830 kilometers in total, roughly a 9-hour drive. Having learned from their previous experience, Zhou Chao wouldn’t drive long distances at night anymore.

At first, Jiang Li was still excited, chatting non-stop with Zhou Chao and occasionally checking travel guides online. Whenever she found interesting places, she would share them with him.

During a meal break at a service area, the buffet was surprisingly good. After the meal, as they resumed their journey, not even half an hour had passed when Jiang Li fell asleep soundly in the back seat.

“All, it’s always us men who suffer!” Zhou Chao glanced at the peacefully sleeping Jiang Li through the rearview mirror and shook his head.

“Yeah.” Jiang Li stretched lazily and opened her eyes with a contented expression.

“Hubby, where are we now?” Jiang Li looked out the window and realized they were no longer on the highway. She checked the time and saw that it was already 4:30 in the afternoon.

“We’ve arrived in Fenghuang,” Zhou Chao said, looking quite tired. Jiang Li also noticed that Zhou Chao seemed a bit low on energy.

“Darling, you’ve worked hard!” Jiang Li reached out from behind and squeezed Zhou Chao’s shoulders.

“If you really think your husband has worked hard, then you should comfort me properly tonight!” Zhou Chao said with a mischievous smile.

Sure- Seeing how hard you’ve worked today, I’ll do whatever you want tonight!”

“Really?!” Zhou Chao’s face lit up with excitement as he turned to look at Jiang Li.

“Drive well for now. We’ll see how you perform tonight!”

Zhou Chao drove around Fenghuang for a while and finally found a riverside inn that had good online reviews. He booked the best room available.

Once they entered the room, Zhou Chao immediately lay down on the bed and didn’t move. Just as Jiang Li was about to say something, she realized that Zhou Chao had already fallen asleep.

So tired… I guess I’ll have to comfort him properly tonight!” Jiang Li looked at Zhou Chao, who was sleeping like a log, with a blush on her face that had appeared seemingly out of nowhere.

It wasn’t until around 7 PM that Zhou Chao woke up.

“You’re awake.” Jiang Li, who had been sitting on the sofa playing with her phone, stood up quickly.

“Yeah, I feel a bit dizzy.”

“I’ll give you a massage.” Jiang Li knelt behind Zhou Chao, allowing him to recline in her arms, with his head resting on her soft lap.

So comfortable!” He couldn’t help but sigh as he felt the softness beneath his head.

“You rascal!” Jiang Li softly scolded as she placed her hands on Zhou Chao’s temples and began to gently knead.

“How does it feel, comfortable?”

“Very comfortable. If I could have this every day in the future, that would be great!” He enjoyed the softness of his head, combined with Jiang Li’s fragrance and the massage from her delicate hands.

After about 10 minutes, Jiang Li’s hands began to feel sore, and her pressure decreased.

“Wifey, you can stop now. Let’s go out for dinner!” Zhou Chao also noticed that Jiang Li’s strength was waning. Seeing that she didn’t say anything, he sat up from her lap.

“Yeah, I’m hungry too.” Jiang Li subtly rubbed her hands, but she still wore a gentle smile on her face.

The evening in Fenghuang was exceptionally beautiful, with the ancient buildings of the town, bathed in colorful lights, captivating anyone who gazed upon them.

“This is so beautiful!” Just as they stepped out of the inn, they were enchanted by the night scene of Fenghuang Ancient Town.

Let’s find a place to eat first, and after dinner, we can explore more!”

“Sounds good!” Jiang Li was reluctant to tear her eyes away from the view.

Zhou Chao ruffled Jiang Li’s hair and held her hand as they slowly walked along the cobblestone streets.

“Miao cuisine, Brother Chao, how about we try this place?” Not far from where they started, they saw a restaurant specializing in Miao ethnic cuisine.

“Let’s go, let’s give it a try!”

As soon as they entered, a young girl in Miao ethnic clothing greeted them.

“Welcome, please follow me inside!”

The two followed the Miao girl to a table by the window, which offered a perfect view of the Tuo River and the bridge above it.

Zhou Chao handed the menu to Jiang Li, who looked through it for a while and ordered several specialty dishes.

For example, “Miao-style social rice, Miao-style sour fish, blood pudding duck, and rice wine.”

Among them, the Miao-style sour fish was recommended by the Miao girl, who claimed it to be a specialty here.

After waiting for about 20 minutes, the dishes they had ordered were all served.

“Mmm- This sour fish is really delicious. Zhou Chao, you should try it too!”

“It’s indeed good. It truly deserves to be a signature dish!” Zhou Chao picked up a piece and tasted it, confirming that it lived up to its reputation.

After a satisfying meal, both of them had consumed quite a bit of rice wine. At this point, Jiang Li’s face had a slight blush.

“Zhou Chao, maybe I shouldn’t go back. I’m feeling a bit tipsy after all this time.”

“Let’s go. We’ll return to the inn. Someone here promised me that they’d properly comfort me tonight!”

With a slightly flushed face, Jiang Li shot Zhou Chao a look that gave him a unique feeling..
