Chapter 7: The Newlywed (2)

In the evening, they had a special wedding dinner together. It was a hearty meal they had never eaten before, a large slice of meat with bones, natural carbohydrates, green vegetables, and soup.

Along with dinner, a bottle of drink, and two wax cylinders and a base.

"What is this?" Jasmine said, looking at the instructions.

"Probably, it's a candle. Prehistoric people used electricity for lighting before it was invented, and after it was invented, they used it to create atmosphere. Ryan said, sticking the candle into the candlestick and standing up.

"You know a lot." Jasmine laughs.

"I just happen to know." Ryan said, lit the candle with a lighter, raised his hand to turn off the light, and the flames of the two red candles jumped into the darkness. "Wow, that's good." Jasmine said.

The candlelight illuminates the food on the table, and the plates are trimmed with gold, while the faces of the two sitting opposite each other are gilded in a soft dark tone.

Ryan looked at the dancing flames, faint black smoke coming out of the tips of the flames, and he smelled a little of the burning material.

"A little bit of combustibles should be acceptable, and besides, the air purifiers in the house will filter them out very quickly." Jasmine seemed to have guessed his thoughts, and seemed to be pulling him back.

"Oh." Ryan glanced at her, and with a hint of apology in his heart, he raised his glass and said, "Happy newlywed, Jasmine." ”

"Happy newlyweds." Jasmine touched him with a cup, then drank the red liquid from the cup.

The non-alcoholic drink has a bit of sourness on the palate and a little fruity.

"Ryan."

"Hmm."

"I've seen what you've written."

"Really?" Ryan was a little surprised.

"Well, after I found out about the match result yesterday, I went to look at it, and I like what you wrote."

"Oh, thank you." Ryan smiled sheepishly.

The early ones were not ashamed, they were full of enthusiasm at that time, almost one manuscript a week, quite a weighty kind, and later, the old guy in chief began to intervene......

"However, there were very few of them later, why didn't you write later?"

"It's a long story." Ryan lowered his head, fiddling with his knife and fork.

The later ones, even if they were written, were often not signed, and those meaningless words were not signed.

"I admire people who can write articles."

"It's over, you're engaged in scientific research, and it's amazing."

"Where."

"But honestly, why would you want to be the preferred person?"

Jasmine didn't answer his question, but said, "What would you think if I said, I'm curious about who the person who is the best match for me?" She propped her head on her hands, her eyes shining, her blonde hair pulled at the back of her head, and the corners of her mouth raised slightly, as if she were unintentional chatter, as if she was expecting Ryan's answer.

Ryan lowered his eyes, "Ha, are you so curious......"

"Aren't you curious?"

"Me, of course ......"

When Ryan raised his eyes again, he saw that Jasmine was still looking at him. She said: "Actually, you and I think about it. ”

"Really?"

"Really, I actually wished he had amber eyes like yours."

Ryan didn't know what to say, so he lowered his gaze and put down his knife and fork.

"When you're done, I'll wash it." Jasmine stood up.

"No, I'd better do it." Ryan also stood up.

"No, the newlywed's guide says that after marriage, women should take the initiative to take on these things."

"No, it doesn't matter."

The two stood together by the pool. Ryan couldn't resist Jasmine, so he stood by her side.

Ryan looked at the kitchen floor and said, "Jasmine, do you remember...... Yesterday's thing? ”

"Yesterday? Matching day? ”

"Hmm."

"Well, remember part of it."

"Don't you remember the glass of water before?"

"Well, I guess, it's for the sake of the secrecy of the test."

"So why do you do it this way? They knew we were going to drink that glass of water! If you explain the reason to us, I will agree to drink it too. ”

"I guess that in addition to a small amount of memory eradication in the water, there may be some other components, such as restoring physical strength, repairing wounds, etc., and maybe everyone's situation at that time is different, and there is not necessarily a condition to explain the reason."

Ryan was secretly surprised by Jasmine's thoughtfulness.

Jasmine smiled, "I've heard that the test for men is much more difficult than for women, and the women are actually fine. ”

"Oh...... That's fine...... Do you remember what happened next? ”

"What's next?"

"That's it...... White room. ”

"The white room?" Jasmine thought for a moment and shook her head, "It should be over after the physical fitness test." I had my finger blood taken in one place and was told to go back and wait for the match. And then I ...... I saw you. ”

The lights in the room dimmed automatically, as if to remind them that bedtime was approaching, and according to the process, they should move to the bedroom at this time.

Ryan sat alone in the room, not speaking or moving. The faint sound of running water could be heard in the bathroom.

The curtains closed automatically, and the room was pitch black, popping, and a night light was on. Its brightness slowly changes and becomes softer, and the hue changes from warm yellow to pink.

Ryan glanced at the bracelet, "Hey, did you do it?" ”

A smiling face appeared on the small screen of the bracelet, followed by a line of words: Happy newlywed.

Jasmine came out of the bathroom wrapped in a bath towel, wiped her hair, and saw Ryan with a hint of shyness in her eyes. Ryan lowered his gaze and had no choice but to go in and take a shower.

"Hey, Ryan."

"What?" Ryan stood still, not looking back.

"Don't forget to change your clothes after washing." Jasmine handed him a set of clothes, which were to be worn according to the procedure.

Ryan walked out in bedtime attire, a little embarrassed. The garment was as thin as a cicada's wings, tied with a strap, and the placket was open to expose the chest.

Jasmine sat on the edge of the bed, her back to him, her hair already blow-dried and hanging down like a silky golden waterfall on her snow-white back.

She slowly stood up and turned towards him.

She was wearing a long skirt, which was also as thin as a cicada's wings, and its only function was probably to set off her looming body.

Ryan swallowed dryly.

Jasmine looked at Ryan and said, "You have a good body. ”

"Why don't you?"

"Are we like Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden?"

Ryan smiled, "Sort of. ”

Jasmine walked over to Ryan. She came from the darkness, and under the change of light, the figure under the long skirt was graceful and colorful.

Ryan slowly moved over as well.

Jasmine's palm touched Ryan's chest and lifted her neck upward, Ryan could smell the fragrance around her neck, and he gently approached her, the fragrance on her body became more pronounced.

"What is this?"

"Do you like it?"

"Hmmm......"

"That ......" Jasmine turned her head towards Ryan, the tip of her nose almost touching Ryan's chin, her gaze lingering on Ryan's face, sweeping his lips intentionally or not.

As long as he bows his head slightly, he can kiss her, which is just the right height difference.

Ryan looked at the face, still moving, and Jasmine lifted her foot and pressed her lips to his.

At the same time her hands wrapped around his neck, he felt her lips grind against his, the touch soft, the movements clumsy, he gently hugged her, felt the undulating lines of her waist, her body pressed against his, through the thin fabric, he felt her body heat.

So, he hugged her tightly.

The lights in the room fluctuated like waves, and there was some kind of lingering and melancholy music, which played softly.

β€œ Zoe 。” Ryan removed his lips from Jasmine's and turned his head to speak, his voice distinctly unhappy.

There was silence in the room, and Jasmine said, "I'm sorry, it's mine, it's my bracelet...... It has been taken into this residence. ”

"Ah, I'm sorry, I don't know," Ryan said, "it's just that I don't like the bracelet getting too involved in my life, it makes me feel like I'm being watched ...... every move."

"I'm sorry ......"

"It's fine."

"Shall we ...... Do it all over again? ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ All right. ”

"Olive," Jasmine said to the bracelet, "don't be too troublesome. ”

The two moved to the bed and got under the covers. Jasmine eased the atmosphere and said, "You are really strict with your bracelet." ”

"It's just a machine, how can it be strict or not strict."

"It's called...... Zoe ? Good chic name. ”

"Well, the language from prehistoric ancient Greece can be both male and female, and, moreover, the word means 'life.'"

"I see, I like the name......" Jasmine wrapped her hand around Ryan and kissed him again.

This time, they were a little more skilled than before.

Jasmine let out a soft grunt and slid under Ryan's body, placing Ryan on top of herself. Ryan felt Jasmine's hand move from his back to his chest, inserting it into the open placket.

The back of Ryan's head was buzzing, his tongue was sucked, and he was breathing heavily, but Jasmine seemed to still have a shred of sanity, methodically going about the following procedureβ€”perhaps, it wasn't sane at all. Jasmine untied the straps of Ryan's clothes, and her fingertips went down, stroking Ryan's abdomen, and then downward......

He suddenly grabbed her hand.

She startled the force of his hand and froze there, "...... What's wrong? ”

He grabbed her hand and said, "No, don't do that. ”

Jasmine didn't understand what was going on and said, "I'm sorry, I just wanted to confirm ......"

"Confirm, confirm!" Ryan sat up and suddenly said loudly, "You want to confirm the physical state of the male individual and determine whether it can be carried out, right?" ”

These are the original words in the guide, and Jasmine was stunned, covered her face with her hands, and began to cry.

Ryan leaned closer to Jasmine, "I'm sorry. ”

Jasmine cried, "I screwed ......"

"No, it's not."

"So, let's do it again?" Jasmine wiped away her tears and looked at Ryan.

"No, I think...... I want to be quiet. ”

"What do you mean?"

Ryan turned and sat on the edge of the bed. "Ah, I don't know ......"

After a moment of silence, Jasmine said, "Well, maybe, we can eat this." ”

She got out of bed, took a small box from her bag, opened it, and found two pink clear capsules.

"What is this?" Ryan said.

"The guide says that the wedding night, if ...... If it doesn't go well, you can take it, one capsule per person. ”

You don't have to think about it to know what this pill does. Ryan looked at the pill, "No, Jasmine. ”

"How?"

"That's not right."

Jasmine held the box and asked Ryan with a look in her eyes.

"I know, but it shouldn't be like this."

Jasmine continued to wait for Ryan to explain.

"Jasmine, why, why do we dress like this, why do we use that scent, why do we take medicine? It shouldn't be like this! ”

The room was silent, and Jasmine slowly lowered her hand.

"I'm sorry." Ryan walked out of the room.
