He used to wake up earlier than her, so she had not got many chances to watch him while he was still sleeping. They were still holding hands in a tight grasp. She felt safe.
It seemed like Long Siye was probably wrong. She had been with Di Fuyi for more than a day and she had not absorbed his spiritual power at all, so her condition was probably not caused by the same catastrophe. She assumed it was because of her recent obsession with her practice. She must have acquired the ability to absorb other people’s spiritual power by accident.
She continued to watch him for a while. Assuming that he was not going to wake up anytime soon, she decided to sit up and meditate. She needed to find out which part of her nervous system in her body was causing this problem.
Just when she sat herself up, he wrapped an arm around her waist and said, “Why don’t you sleep more?”
Gu Xijiu turned around and their eyes met. His eyes were bright and clear, unlike someone who had just woken up from sleep.
“Looks like you have been awake for quite some time. Why didn’t you open your eyes?” She poked him in the ribs.
Di Fuyi grabbed her naughty hands and smiled. “You are enjoying your husband’s beauty. I shall let you enjoy the view, then. I should not interrupt your good time.”
He sat up. His inner clothes were loose and half open, revealing his chest. Other parts of his body were not quite hidden, though.
His position was very intriguing. Gu Xijiu smiled a mischievous smile and pulled his clothes open to reveal more of his body. “You should reveal more of your skin if you really want me to enjoy your beauty. It is not very satisfactory for me to see only half of your body.”
Gu Xijiu was only trying to tease him. She did not continue to pull his clothes away. At least his private part was not yet revealed. However, Di Fuyi took her words very literally. He smiled charmingly and proceeded to point at his body with a spell. Suddenly, all his clothes disappeared, revealing his entire body for her to see finally.
Gu Xijiu’s heart started to pound. Even though his body was already a familiar view, her mind still could not help but go wild at the sight of it, especially after they had been separated for a month.
Di Fuyi lied down casually and let her enjoy as much as she pleased. Gu Xijiu thought about it and felt that the revelation was more for his own benefit. She rubbed her nose and coughed lightly. “That is it? I see. Alright, I now grant you the permission to put on your clothes.”
She turned around and was ready to leave the bed, but Di Fuyi immediately halted her attempt. “Baby, it is inappropriate if you do not return the favor. You have seen mine, now it is time for me to see yours.”
Di Fuyi was swift in taking off all her clothes. Soon, Gu Xijiu was thoroughly naked too.
A wave of color flushed her cheeks. His fiery eyes fell on her body, making her even more nervous. He lied unmoving and kept looking at her fixedly.
After eight years of marriage, it was the first time for them to look at one another with their bare bodies, even though they had made love to each other countless times throughout the years.
His eyes were burning with desires, so much so that she could feel his passion. Under his intense gaze, Gu Xijiu felt like she could no longer stay still, so she wanted to turn around and sit herself up, but he held her down.
Their eyes continued to meet for a long while, but Di Fuyi still had not done anything else to her.
Gu Xijiu was nervous. The words escaped her mouth without much thoughts. “Is there any problem with your body? Is it no longer functioning well?”
Di Fuyi did not answer.
Instead, he smiled a cautious smile. He turned around and pressed his body against hers. “Baby, I will let you experience it yourself to see if it is still functioning.”
