How could someone be unhappy living in a matriarchal society?

Chapter 98 Passing Water with Mouth

Seeing the disbelieving look on Zhao Yi's face, Chu Ci felt a little helpless. "How can you see me like that? Aren't we good friends?"

"I won't hit you."

However, Zhao Yi remained silent in the face of him.

Chu Ci had no choice but to change the subject to ease the tension, "What do you think of my horsemanship and archery skills? Are there any aspects that need improvement?"

Zhao Yi gently shook her head. Chu Ci had already mastered all the difficult riding and archery techniques, and with her abilities, there was absolutely no problem.

About half an hour later, a rich aroma of chicken soup began to waft out.

Shi An first filled a bowl of steaming soup for Chu Ci, and then served a bowl to Zhao Yi.

He also specially selected the most tender part of the chicken and put it into Chu Ci's bowl.

Zhao Yi, on the other hand, received a relatively small portion.

Well, I suppose this was his little selfish motive.

During the meal, Chu Ci and Zhao Yi discussed some of their experiences with horseback archery.

Seeing that the two were having a pleasant conversation, and unable to get a word in edgewise, Shi An continued eating by himself.

By chance, he saw the jar of wine that Chu Ci had bought, and out of curiosity, he opened the lid and took a sniff.

A sweet aroma wafted over.

Shi An couldn't resist, carefully poured out a glass, and took a small sip.

In that instant, his mouth was filled with a rich aroma and sweet taste, and he felt that it was extremely delicious.

However, he knew he couldn't overindulge in alcohol, as he still had to go to the embroidery workshop for class in the afternoon.

So he only tasted one glass before putting it down and not continuing.

After lunch, Zhao Yi picked up the wine he hadn't finished and left in a dashing manner.

After finishing his meal, Chu Ci felt a little sleepy, so he took off his outer robe and lay lazily on the bed to prepare for a nap.

Seeing this, Shi An gently poured a cup of tea and walked to the bedside to hand it to her.

"My lady, have some water."

Chu Ci shook her head; she was too lazy to get up.

Shi An lowered his eyes slightly, and after thinking for a moment, decided to feed her water himself.

He first took a sip of tea himself, then slowly leaned closer to Chu Ci, kissed her lips, and then gently poured the tea from his mouth into her mouth.

This gesture surprised Chu Ci, as she had never experienced such intimate behavior before, and her cheeks instantly turned pink.

"Shi An, you..."

Shi An was so shy that she didn't dare to look up, feeling as if her face was on fire.

Chu Ci looked at her husband's snow-white neck and narrowed her eyes. His delicate, porcelain-like skin seemed to exude a faint fragrance, making her want to do something.

She leaned in and kissed him, then pulled him onto the bed, grabbed Shi An's chin with one hand, and said in a deep, magnetic voice, "You dare to do it but not admit it, huh?"

Shi An blushed deeply under Chu Ci's intense gaze, her neck turning bright red and her eyes even becoming slightly moist.

Unable to bear it any longer, he could only close his eyes tightly, trying to escape the situation, like burying his head in the sand.

However, Chu Ci slowly leaned down and gently kissed Shi An's lips.

Her husband's lips were so soft and sweet; she could never get enough of kissing them.

Although the atmosphere between the two was becoming increasingly intense, Chu Ci had to restrain his desires, considering that Shi An had to teach at the embroidery workshop that afternoon.

Forcing himself to regain his senses, he stopped kissing her and held Shi An tightly in his arms.

Shi An keenly sensed the changes in Chu Ci's body. His heart raced, and his hand unconsciously reached out to strike, but the next second, Chu Ci grabbed it tightly, rendering him unable to move.

"What are you doing?" The woman's voice was a little hoarse.

“I…I want to help you…” Shi An stammered as she explained.

Chu Ci gently shook her head, a hint of tenderness and helplessness flashing in her eyes.

"No need, let me hold you for a while." She gently kissed Shi An's neck and slowly calmed her breathing.

Shi An gently rested her chin on Chu Ci's shoulder, then slowly closed her eyes.

He found his wife's scent very pleasant, like a clear spring flowing in the mountains, fresh and natural.

She didn't need to apply any perfume to her body, yet she was already enough to make him infatuated.

"Let's go to sleep." Chu Ci hugged Shi An and lay down on the bed together, then lovingly stroked his cheek and said softly, "You have classes to attend this afternoon."

Shi An nodded obediently, hugged Chu Ci's waist tightly, closed her eyes, and began to rest.

When Chu Ci awoke, the sun was no longer as scorching as it was at noon.

She glanced at the time, then gently woke Shi An, who was still fast asleep.

"Shi An, wake up, you can't sleep anymore."

Shi An blinked, her expression still somewhat dazed and confused.

He held Chu Ci's hand tightly, murmuring, "My wife..."

"I'm here." Chu Ci kissed Shi An's forehead with affection, then hugged him and carefully helped him put on his outer robe.

"Today I'll ride a horse to take you to the embroidery shop first. Later I'll buy a carriage so you can use it to pick you up and drop you off at school every day," Chu Ci patiently explained to Shi An.

Shi An nodded after hearing this, but still seemed a little sleepy.

Seeing this, Chu Ci led him to the washroom, picked up a damp handkerchief, and carefully wiped his cheeks to help him wake up.

"Alright, cheer up, I'll take you to the embroidery shop."

Shi An nodded obediently, indicating that he was ready.

Chu Ci skillfully mounted the horse, then gently held Shi An in her arms, letting him sit in front of her.

Then, I gently kicked the horse's belly, and the horse slowly moved forward.

The streets were crowded at this hour, and many young men felt a sense of loss when they saw Chu Ci riding out on horseback with Shi An.

They sighed inwardly, never expecting Chu Ci's husband to be so handsome; they themselves were truly no match for him.

Soon, the two arrived at the entrance of the embroidery workshop, where a large crowd of people were coming and going.

When they saw Chu Ci riding a white horse at the door, they all blushed and their hearts pounded, and they discussed it in hushed tones.

An older gentleman shook his head and sighed, "Oh my, this seems to be the new teacher at our embroidery workshop. I never expected his wife to be so beautiful, and she even personally rode her horse to bring him here. Unlike my dead husband, who is ugly as hell and has a terrible temper."

Another young embroiderer's eyes were filled with envy: "The new teacher and his wife are such a perfect match. They are both like jade. I wish I could have a wife like that..."

Yun Lang, the manager of the embroidery workshop, closed his folding fan, chuckled, and asked, "Is this how the phrase 'divine couple' is used?"

The person next to him nodded quickly and said, "That's right, that's how you use it!"
