Qin Tian felt rather dejected.
Logically, his physical condition should have been perfect by now. In this first important battle, he shouldn't have been so quickly defeated.
He never expected that from the official start to the end, it only took five minutes.
Actually, it was a normal duration, and the quality was quite high. Xia Nuannuan’s blushing cheeks, hazy eyes, and slight panting proved this.
However, Qin Tian himself was undoubtedly dissatisfied.
He sighed inwardly, attributing it to this body being too sensitive, having not "eaten meat" before.
He lowered his head and lightly kissed the forehead of the beauty in his arms. In just a few minutes, sweat had already appeared on her forehead.
The room's air conditioning was set quite high, and they were only covered by a blanket, yet they didn't feel cold. Instead, it was somewhat warm.
"Nuannuan, shall I carry you to wash?"
Feeling Xia Nuannuan’s breathing stabilize, Qin Tian asked softly.
After Xia Nuannuan recovered her senses from that peculiar state, she immediately felt shy. Like an ostrich, she hugged him, burying her entire head in his chest.
Hearing his voice, Xia Nuannuan’s long eyelashes fluttered slightly, and she felt too embarrassed to reply.
Qin Tian patted her ample little backside with his right hand, grinning, "If you don't speak, I'll assume it's consent!"
"No, don't, you go first!"
Xia Nuannuan trembled.
"Alright, I'll go first then. I'll turn on all the bathroom lights for you, so it's warmer when you go."
"Mm, hurry."
He kissed her again before sitting up, getting out of bed naked, and heading towards the bathroom.
Xia Nuannuan slowly opened her eyes, gazing at him with shy eyes. After a soft exclamation, she raised her hands to cover her eyes, peeking through her fingers.
After Qin Tian entered the bathroom and closed the door, Xia Nuannuan quickly sat up and turned on the bedside lamp.
Perhaps because she sat up too abruptly, a hint of pain appeared on her still flushed face, but it quickly disappeared.
Even though Qin Tian had been gentle enough, it was their first time, and there was bleeding, causing some pain.
When she knew there was no escaping it today, Xia Nuannuan insisted that Qin Tian get a clean white towel to place underneath.
At this moment, looking at the vibrant red plum blossom on the towel, Xia Nuannuan was lost in thought, her pretty face burning hot, as if about to bleed.
Snapping back to reality, she shook her head vigorously. She nimbly folded the towel and put it away. After scanning the surroundings, she first hid it in the wardrobe.
She then glanced at the few wads of tissue on the floor, blushing as she picked them up and threw them into the trash can.
Having done all this, she heard the sound of the shower stop. Flustered, she climbed back into bed, turned off the bedside lamp, and pulled the quilt over her body, which could make any man's blood boil.
Soon, Qin Tian emerged from the bathroom.
Xia Nuannuan turned her body away from him, pretending to be asleep.
Through the light from the bathroom, Qin Tian saw the tissue balls on the floor had disappeared. Looking at Xia Nuannuan on the bed, a smile curved his lips.
"Nuannuan, you can go wash now."
"Mm!"
Xia Nuannuan responded softly but didn't move.
Qin Tian walked over and lay down, hugging her from behind and asking with concern, "What's wrong? Are you uncomfortable?"
"No, no."
Xia Nuannuan denied it in a somewhat flustered tone, then tremblingly pleaded, "Can you hand me my clothes?"
She had been too rushed to clean up and forgot to get her clothes.
"Why would you need clothes to take a bath? Just go directly!"
"No, I'm shy. Hurry and find them for me."
"Alright, alright. Just the thermal wear should be enough, right?"
Qin Tian asked helplessly.
Xia Nuannuan nodded and pulled the blanket over her head.
Qin Tian sat up again, scanning the surroundings. He quickly spotted the thermal wear he had taken off and carelessly tossed onto the carpet.
Without getting out of bed, he leaned over and reached out to pick them up.
"Here, the clothes are here."
Qin Tian said with a哑然失笑.
A small hand emerged from the quilt, followed by Xia Nuannuan's shy voice from beneath the covers.
"Give them to me!"
"Why are you so cute!"
Qin Tian couldn't help but chuckle and placed the clothes in her hand.
Xia Nuannuan grabbed the clothes with her small hands and quickly pulled them into the covers. After fumbling around under the blanket, she lifted it and emerged.
The thermal wear was quite form-fitting. And because she wasn't wearing a bra, this girl didn't realize that she actually possessed a charm of veiled beauty, making one unable to resist.
Without saying anything to Qin Tian, Xia Nuannuan, barefoot, scurried directly to the bathroom.
"Slow down, don't fall."
Qin Tian called out with concern.
Xia Nuannuan didn't reply. After entering the bathroom, she closed the door with a bang and locked it with a click.
"This girl!"
Qin Tian smiled wryly and leaned back against the headboard.
Reliving the ineffable wonderful feeling he had just experienced, he, who had quit smoking for a long time after his rebirth, suddenly felt like having a cigarette.
He swept his feet under the quilt but didn't touch the towel. He immediately realized that Xia Nuannuan must have put it away.
Thinking that he had possessed her completely like this, Qin Tian had no regrets, only full of tenderness and love.
After a good half hour, Xia Nuannuan finally came out of the bathroom wearing her thermal wear.
Seeing that the bathroom light was off, Qin Tian quickly reached out and turned on the bedside lamp.
The moment their eyes met, Xia Nuannuan flusteredly averted her gaze, lowered her head, and quickly walked to the other side of the bed.
After lying down again, she deftly pulled the blanket over herself. This time, she didn't hide her head, but gazed up at the ceiling, her beautiful eyes blinking.
"Are you okay? Are you uncomfortable?"
Qin Tian leaned over and asked gently.
Xia Nuannuan shook her head with a blush.
She had heard before that a woman's first time could be very painful.
But she felt it was alright just now, only a moment of pain, followed by a very strange sensation.
Thinking of her own dazed and uncontrolled state earlier, and the strange sounds she made, her face felt scorching hot.
"That's good. I'll go turn off the TV outside, and then we'll sleep."
Qin Tian kissed her forehead and said softly.
Xia Nuannuan pecked his forehead.
Qin Tian got out of bed and left the room. After turning off the TV, he was about to return to the bedroom.
"Woof!"
The little grey dog had appeared at his feet at some point, tilting its head and letting out a bark.
"What are you barking at? Your dad and mom are going to sleep, you go to sleep too!"
Qin Tian pointed at the balcony.
"Woof woof!"
The little grey dog sat down and barked at him twice more.
Qin Tian ignored it and went straight into the room.
Seeing the dog still sitting there staring at him, Qin Tian said with mock seriousness, "What are you looking at? There's nothing interesting. When you grow up, I'll find you a boyfriend. Go on, go."
Waving his hand, he closed the door.
