Butler Fu brought over two bowls of soup with glutinous rice balls, dates, and lotus hearts in it. The soup was sweet and symbolized a sweet and harmonious union. However, the newlyweds had to feed each other the first mouthful of the soup.
Of course, Gu Jinglian started by feeding Chu He.
It was his first time drinking sweet soup. Not a fan of sweet food, he fiddled and poked at the ingredients in the bowl as he asked his bride, “What do you wish to eat in here?”
“I’ll… have glutinous rice balls then!”
“Alright.”
It was rare for Gu Jinglian to be docile, being one who was usually unruly. He rarely took the initiative to feed others, much less went as far as asking what she wished to eat, showing that he was actually seeking another person’s opinion.
How rare!
Chu He was naturally happy to see this happen and indulged in the experience of being fed by him!
After feeding her two mouthfuls, the man said sullenly, “Your soup is almost finished. When are you going to feed me?”
Chu He was taken aback. Before she could swallow the glutinous rice dumpling, she mumbled with her mouth half-full, “Eh? Do I need to feed you too?”
“What do you think?”
Gu Jinglian raised his eyebrows. “Are you hoping to finish both bowls of soup by yourself?”
“…I wasn’t thinking that.”
“Aren’t you going to feed me then?”
“…”
Ah.
The domineering Gu Jinglian was back.
Amused, Chu He immediately swallowed the glutinous rice ball in her mouth. Then she scooped up a glutinous rice ball and brought it to his mouth. Gu Jinglian glanced at it, but his gaze was cold, as if he did not care.
Did he not like glutinous rice dumplinsgs?
Chu He raised her eyebrows awkwardly and scooped a Chinese date for him instead.
Gu Jinglian did not open his mouth.
Chu He lost her patience and asked, “What exactly do you want to eat?”
The man then gave an evil smirk and drawled, “I want to eat… whatever you feed me with your mouth!”
“You…”
Chu He turned a bright scarlet!
Although Gu Jinglian had deliberately lowered his voice, Butler Fu, who was next to them, heard it. He looked up and said to the onlookers in the room, “Master Gu wishes the bride to feed him using her mouth!”
“Aiya! Bride, you should satisfy the groom and feed him using your mouth then!”
“Exactly!”
The photographer started walking up to them with the camera over his shoulder, aiming the lens at them and egging them on with a smile, “Bride, don’t be too shy. Feed the groom with your mouth! Let me take a shot of it.”
Chu He pursed her lips, looking somewhat reluctant. Gu Jinglian was clearly setting her up! The latter, on the other hand, looked at her calmly without hurrying her. When she finally picked up the spoon, he said, “I want to eat a glutinous rice dumpling.”
“…”
The glutinous rice dumpling was soft and sticky. It was not easy to take a bite out of it.
This man must be doing it on purpose!
However, Chu He couldn’t possibly kick up a fuss in the presence of so many people. She had no choice but take a bite of the glutinous rice ball. Gu Jinglian’s face moved closer and his thin lips parted slightly. He bit onto the glutinous rice ball in her mouth. The soft glutinous rice ball was flattened. It was soft, sticky and covered with thick and sweet soup, with a black sesame seed paste filling.
Chu He maintained her bite on the glutinous rice ball without moving. Gu Jinglian, on the other hand, was more proactive. He bit on the glutinous rice ball and gently sucked on the soup that was almost spilling out from the corner of her lips. Her tongue gently curled and she finally bit the soft glutinous rice ball into two.
The viscous skin of the rice ball stretched out in white strands between their lips.
Chu He nervously caught it with her hands, fearing that the soup would drip. She was inevitably embarrassed.
