Although there was no one at home and the curtains were drawn, Vivian didn't have the courage to run to the bedroom without wearing anything. She had no choice but to drape a large outer garment over herself. Although it was thin and transparent, it was better than wearing nothing.
Opening the bathroom door, Vivian quickly walked towards the bedroom. However, just a few steps away from the bedroom, she heard a click, the sound of the door opening, and she froze in place.
How did he come back so quickly?
The person who opened the door obviously didn't expect to see such a scene upon entering, and his fingers paused on the doorknob.
Vivian couldn't help but tighten her collar, feeling grateful that she hadn't run out wearing nothing. Little did she know, with her wet long hair draped over her shoulders, the thin outer garment half-wet clinging to her body, her jade-like wrists slightly exposed, and her long legs and slender waist faintly visible, she was far more enticing than if she had worn nothing at all.
"Has the wedding dress been delivered?" Nai Shawn slowly closed the door.
"Yes, it was delivered this afternoon," Vivian replied, feeling the need to explain why she was standing there dressed like that, "I, I just took a shower and forgot to bring clothes. This garment was dirty and left in the bathroom..."
"Dirty? Where?"
"Uh, at the hem, it's already..." Vivian instinctively looked down at the hem, but before she could finish speaking, she was scooped up by the waist. He had already come to her side, carrying her towards the bedroom.
"Put it on and let me see."
"...I don't know how."
"I'll teach you."
The fingers clutching the collar were pried open, and the garment slipped off her shoulders. She sat on his lap, separated only by a thin layer of fabric. Vivian dared not look at him, turning her head to bury it in his neck.
He truly taught her, patiently and methodically helping her put on each piece of clothing, explaining the process as he went. Undergarments, top, skirt, belt, outer garment... His warm fingers occasionally brushed against her. Vivian let him guide her, obediently raising her arms, standing or sitting as needed. Finally, he lifted her onto his lap again, holding her ankle to help her put on embroidered shoes.
She was fully dressed now, sitting on him in her wedding attire, her long lashes lowered, blushing like a sunset. He looked at her, suddenly tightening his grip around her waist, lifting her and placing her on the bed.
The wedding dress was like fire, her black hair like a waterfall, her skin like jade. Vivian looked at him uneasily, his hands braced on either side of her head, pinning her hair down. His eyes were deep and still, but he made no move. Vivian couldn't bear his gaze any longer and involuntarily turned her head slightly.
The next second, he captured her lips fiercely.
He pressed down, kissing her deeply, more wildly and unrestrained than ever before, as if finally unable to hold back any longer. Vivian was kissed breathless, forced to follow his rhythm to breathe. She felt the wedding dress being pulled open, felt him biting at her neck, felt herself being kneaded until it hurt, felt his kisses moving lower...
The air grew hotter, her mind muddled, she let out a soft moan, suddenly feeling a coolness at her waist as her skirt was lifted.
He suddenly stopped.
But Vivian didn't relax because of the pause. Previously, things would stop here... or, they would find another way, but, but...
Vivian looked at him, her vision already blurred.
His shirt was in disarray, revealing a strong chest, his breath heavy and rapid, his eyes burning as they fixed on her. Then, as if in slow motion, he took her hand, guiding it to his belt.
Vivian understood from his actions, her heartbeat suddenly out of control, her body tense as if even her fingertips were trembling.
"Vivian, don't be nervous."
While forcing her hand to move, he covered her lips again, kissing her with a gentle patience, coaxing her.
The kiss gradually moved back, he took her earlobe in his mouth, whispering hoarsely in her ear, "Vivian, I can't wait any longer."
Though exhausted, Vivian still woke up on time the next day, according to her biological clock. The sky was already bright, sunlight streaming through the thick curtains.
She lay on the rumpled wedding dress, held tightly from behind, an arm draped across her waist. She moved slightly, and the person behind her immediately noticed she was awake, their breath pressing close.
"Vivian." The usually cool voice was now tinged with a husky desire. She seemed to murmur a response, gradually feeling light kisses on the back of her neck, gradually...
When she woke again, it was almost noon.
A damp sensation came from her body, Vivian opened her eyes to find him gently wiping away traces with a towel. Vivian felt a bit embarrassed, wanting to dodge, but as she moved, she realized her waist was sore, lacking the strength to even move her legs.
Nai Shawn leaned over: "Shall I carry you to the shower?"
Vivian shook her head.
"Does it hurt?"
Vivian shook her head again, looking at him, raising her arms to wrap around his neck.
Now, she just wanted to lean on him.
Vivian didn't regret the unexpected event before the wedding, but the aftermath was quite troublesome.
One of the aftereffects was the wedding dress = =
Because...
So...
In short, after that night, the wedding dress was simply... unpresentable... Not only was it wrinkled, but there were also many... marks. And the wedding dress was made of precious silk. Silk is so delicate, Vivian had no idea how to wash it, nor could she send it out for cleaning. In the end, Vivian angrily pushed the matter onto the culprit.
Thus, Nai Shawn, amidst his busy schedule, had to find time to research how to clean silk.
The second aftereffect was, well...
Vivian realized that doing that a month before the wedding was really unwise. Either do it early, so by the time of the wedding, it wouldn't be so frequent, or just save it for after the wedding.
Having to deal with someone's supposedly restrained demands during the busiest time was really a bit too much.
June was really busy.
It seemed like everything was happening at once. She had to graduate, the wedding needed planning, the latest expansion pack for Dreaming of Jianghu 2 was about to be released, and the great god's company was moving.
That evening, after Nai Shawn received a phone call, he took Vivian out.
"Where are we going?"
"You'll see when we get there."
Walking at a leisurely pace, they gradually arrived at the Ultimate Internet Cafe. Standing at the tightly closed entrance, Vivian watched as Nai Shawn took out a key, opened the side door, and went inside to turn on the lights.
The lights came on, and hundreds of computers were neatly and quietly arranged in the internet cafe.
"These computers will be moved out tomorrow."
"Oh, is your cousin not doing it anymore?"
Vivian knew this internet cafe was something Nai Shawn had set up with his cousin a long time ago. Nowadays, with computers being so common, business was no longer as good, but his cousin was sentimental and reluctant to close it. Speaking of which, the great god first saw her here.
Nai Shawn nodded: "From now on, Zhi Yi will move here. I've already bought the other half of the property."
After a moment of surprise, Vivian began to look around the internet cafe, feeling quite satisfied, "Hmm, having your own place is best."
Nai Shawn smiled, walking with her inside, discussing the layout as they went, where to make a meeting room, where the office area should be... When they reached a certain spot, he suddenly stopped, looking at a particular place, "The first time I saw you, you were sitting there."
Vivian followed his gaze. It was a seat opposite the stairs, a place she no longer remembered sitting.
"Hehe, you actually fell in love with me at first sight, didn't you?" Vivian teased him, "I've realized now, you're actually a wolf in sheep's clothing."
Nai Shawn raised an eyebrow.
"Do you have a problem with that?"
"No, but I think it's not enough," Nai Shawn said slowly, "At the very least, I'm a ravenous wolf."
Someone has indeed been quite ravenous lately...
Vivian: "...You're shameless!"
Nai Shawn said, "As a wolf with a single-minded taste, not being hungry is more shameful."
"...I'm going upstairs to take a look."
Teasing turned into being teased, a true tragedy. Unable to win, Vivian ran, darting upstairs.
Watching her figure disappear up the stairs, Nai Shawn let a faint smile play on his lips.
What was it like the first time he saw her?
Time had passed, and it was a bit blurry, but initially, even after getting married in the game, he had no intention of meeting her.
It was just because he had something to do at the internet cafe, a fleeting glimpse.
He just thought this girl's operation was dazzling, catching his eye at first glance, so he watched for a few more minutes, seeing her command a gang battle with precision, winning a perfect victory against the odds.
Initially, he only focused on the screen and her flying fingers, until the last moment, when the battle ended, he finally shifted his gaze to her face.
It was a pleasing profile, and surprisingly familiar.
Thanks to his excellent memory, he quickly retrieved her name from his mental database.
Bella Vivian.
From afar, she could stir a commotion among the boys around her, Bella Vivian.
Then, another coincidence.
He hadn't logged into Dreaming of Jianghu for a long time, and that time he went to find some information about the game, unexpectedly seeing her name frequently in the 'World' channel.
This time she was called Reed Vivian.
The name was easy to remember, he had remembered it when he saw her fighting the gang battle. A very fresh name, but the person who named it was lazy and uncreative.
She was abandoned? Planning to crash a wedding?
Rarely, Nai Shawn was interested in watching the excitement, going alone to the Vermilion Bird Bridge to see the red figure surrounded by onlookers.
Would she really crash the wedding?
Nai Shawn watched leisurely, but subconsciously felt that it seemed more fitting for her to wield a big knife and chop down the heartless man. Finally, when she sat down to sell medicine, the crowd in the game was struck dumb, and Nai Shawn outside the computer chuckled silently.
Suddenly, a protective impulse arose.
This impulse came from nowhere, certainly not in his precise brain calculations, never before for anyone, but it was surprisingly strong.
His little junior sister, how could he let others dump her, how could he let her be so downcast.
So, he proposed.
So, a grand wedding.
When he proposed, he wasn't entirely sure she would agree, but when she so readily said "yes," a hint of romance had already sprouted in his heart.
"Your office should be in this position."
Vivian spoke from upstairs, but didn't hear Nai Shawn's response for a long time, so she ran downstairs, seeing him still standing in the same spot. "What are you doing?"
"Thinking about your earlier question," Nai Shawn looked up at her.
"Hmm?" Did she ask something earlier?
Nai Shawn smiled slightly, "I was thinking, if I had known today, I would have fallen in love with you at first sight."
If I had known I would love you so much one day.
I would have fallen in love with you at first sight.
(The End)
