Chapter 271 - 272: Hubby, Hubby
Shi Lan was still not quite used to his changes, so she just gave a vague nod.
After they finished eating, someone delivered a brand-new Treatment Pod. Mu Tangfeng, with a rare display of thoughtfulness, once again carried her to the Treatment Pod to rest.
After Shi Lan finished her treatment, she hooked his finger with hers. "Do you want to get some treatment too?"
She had bitten him hard last night; the bites must have had some force behind them.
Mu Tangfeng shook his head. "No need. I’m a male; I’m tough. This is nothing."
Shi Lan subconsciously glanced at his collar. Unfortunately, now that it was daytime, he had once again become prim and shy, buttoning his clothes all the way up. She couldn’t see anything, but she guessed there were definitely several bite marks on his collarbone.
She hesitated, wanting to say more, but Mu Tangfeng was resolute. ’The marks on his body are proof of Lanlan’s love for him. He’d read online that the more marks a male has, the deeper the female’s affection.’
’Last night, Lanlan kissed him in so many places. He secretly looked in the mirror and saw that his entire upper body was covered in a dense pattern of bite marks and hickeys.’
’If he had gotten so many scars from a fight, he would only find them ugly and would hold a grudge against the other person.’
’But Lanlan was different. He was happy no matter how she bit him, which was why he had lost a bit of control over his excited strength last night.’
At this thought, a strange blush colored Mu Tangfeng’s cheeks. Afraid that Shi Lan would notice something was off, he quickly changed the subject. "Lanlan, this is our new home. We haven’t decorated much yet. See if there’s anything you like that we need to add, and I’ll gradually get everything."
"Oh, right, there’s a garden in the backyard. Right now, there are only some roses planted in it."
Hearing this, Shi Lan’s interest was indeed piqued, and she stopped staring at Mu Tangfeng. "Okay, I’ll go take a tour of our home first."
She had deliberately used the word "our." Mu Tangfeng was inwardly pleased. He didn’t let too much of a smile show on his lips, but the corners of his eyes and his brows lifted in delight.
For the next hour, Shi Lan earnestly gave a lot of suggestions, especially for the garden, mentioning many flowers she liked. She even had Mu Tangfeng section off a small patch for a vegetable garden so they could grow some vegetables in the future.
The Chinese urge to garden couldn’t be suppressed upon seeing such a large yard. Besides, in this world, planting only required a little effort at the beginning; housekeeping robots took care of it afterward, so it wasn’t tiring.
Mu Tangfeng diligently recorded everything on his chip. The more ideas Shi Lan proposed, the brighter his smile became. After all, it meant she was seriously envisioning their future home together.
After they finished their tour, Shi Lan suddenly received a message from He Hanshi. He had sent a photo of the Border Defense Star with many Xia Donghua flowers in the background. The clusters of blue blossoms looked beautiful and soft, like azure starlight blended into the mysterious cosmos.
The weather on the Border Defense Star was very cold at the moment, with snowflakes drifting from the sky, yet the Xia Donghua flowers remained splendid and upright, full of life and vitality.
Shi Lan tapped open the picture and looked at it several times. He Hanshi told her he had arrived at the Border Defense Star last night.
However, he had been worried about disturbing her and had deliberately avoided imagining what might be happening between her and Mu Tangfeng, so he chose to reply during the day.
Shi Lan replied, "Okay, as long as you arrived safely."
"Is it snowing on the Border Defense Star? It looks so beautiful!"
He Hanshi replied instantly, sending a video of the snow on the Border Defense Star. "Yeah, it’s been snowing for the last half-month, and it’ll probably continue for another two months or so. The weather is freezing. I just got back, and I’m already missing the climate on the Capital Star."
"Of course, I miss Lanlan even more."
Reading his words as she watched the video of the falling snow, a sweet smile unconsciously touched Shi Lan’s lips.
It made her want to go to the Capital Star and be a Military Doctor even more. Besides, she was married now, which met the basic requirements for a Military Doctor on the Capital Star.
’However, it isn’t just to see He Hanshi. The soldiers on the Capital Star have more contact with the Insect Clan, and that’s a more suitable place to enhance my spiritual power.’
’I need to absorb more Spiritual Poison to become stronger.’
Mu Tangfeng saw she had gone quiet and was now staring at her chip with a silly grin. He floated behind her like a ghost, lowered his head, and a sinister, jealous voice purred right next to her ear, "Heh. I miss you too."
He said it without any emotion, but Shi Lan could still smell the thick scent of jealousy. She sheepishly turned off her chip and looked up at the sky in embarrassment. "Haha, we could add two more streetlights here."
Mu Tangfeng’s eyes and brows drooped pitifully, the corners of his eyes turning a little red. ’Last night was so wonderful. Lanlan liked him so much, she bit him so many times... He had almost forgotten that she didn’t belong to him alone.’
For a moment, he felt a tightness in his chest, an unresolvable, sour stuffiness coiling around his heart.
The change in his mood was obvious. After all, just that morning, his voice had been syrupy sweet enough to drown a person, his expression animated with joy. Now, even his hair seemed to hang limply and listlessly.
Shi Lan hadn’t expected him to be this upset. She immediately hugged him and started coaxing, "I’m sorry. Please don’t be unhappy."
"I’ll be more careful next time. I won’t think about other things when I’m with you."
Mu Tangfeng turned his head away in a sulk. "Lanlan did nothing wrong. After all, we’re all your Beast Husbands. It’s all perfectly reasonable and legal."
That’s what he said, but anyone could see he didn’t mean it. His face was sour, and his crimson lips were pressed into a thin line.
Shi Lan couldn’t stand seeing him so unhappy. In her haste, she cupped his face with both hands and showered his lips with kisses, licking and nibbling.
She mumbled apologies between kisses, "Don’t be sad, husband, husband..."
Mu Tangfeng’s ears turned bright red. At first, he managed to keep his mouth primly shut, but soon he lost control and opened his mouth, taking the lead in a deep, passionate kiss.
After holding his beloved wife and kissing her intimately for a long time, his good mood returned. But his body felt pent-up, as if it were about to explode. He couldn’t help but press himself tightly against her, gazing at her with moist eyes full of longing, yet he stubbornly bit his red lip and said nothing.
Having just used the Treatment Pod, Shi Lan’s body felt perfectly fine, but she wasn’t going to give in to him so easily. ’I hope he won’t keep everything bottled up inside,’ she thought. ’I want him to learn to take the initiative and talk to me about his needs.’
She blinked, feigning ignorance. "What’s wrong? You’re holding me a little tight."
She struggled a little. Mu Tangfeng’s subconscious told him he should let go, but his body instinctively clung to her, refusing to separate.
And Shi Lan’s movements only made him more aroused, his ragged breaths interspersed with faint, sexy pants.
The corners of his eyes were flushed with a captivating, rosy hue.
Shi Lan hadn’t expected him to be so restrained; she was starting to feel bad for him. Still, she asked again, "Husband, what do you want? Tell me, can you?"
Her voice was soft. Seeing his Adam’s apple right in front of her, she couldn’t resist leaning in and giving it a little bite. Mu Tangfeng almost surrendered completely and collapsed against Shi Lan. His mouth, which had been clamped shut like a clamshell, finally opened. He said in a trembling voice, "Lan... Lan... I, I want you... like last night. C-can we...?"
A smile appeared in Shi Lan’s eyes. She wrapped her arms back around his neck and jumped right onto him. "Then what are we waiting for?"
