Some actions have become instinctive and can no longer be superficial. Lu Xi'an naturally leaned in, and Yao Wei unconsciously parted her lips slightly. Everything happened so naturally, without needing anyone to forewarn every move.

This is what "water flows, a channel is formed" means.

After a short while, Yao Wei suddenly came to her senses, retracting her neck slightly and frowning.

Their lips parted, and Lu Xi'an thought his abruptness had upset the woman, intending to apologize immediately.

However, before he could speak, he heard Yao Wei smack her lips and murmur, "Why does my heartbeat feel not as fast this time, and I don't feel out of control?"

Lu Xi'an: "..."

So, was Yao Wei retreating and frowning because she was puzzled over this?

Yao Wei's body still pressed against his, allowing him to feel her warmth, warming up quickly.

Lu Xi'an thought for a moment and said, "You might be gradually getting used to it. Like at the beginning, we would barely touch and you'd get tense, but later it was fine; you need to feel that tension.

"And now, you've advanced further, slowly adapting and becoming fully immersed, without any major psychological reactions.

"Well... to put it another way, you've become desensitized, right?"

Yao Wei quickly understood, thought for a bit, and said, "Is it like Liu Hua's training for us?"

Lu Xi'an didn't expect Yao Wei to extend the analogy, and he laughed, saying, "Yes, just like that, gradually building resistance through Liu Hua's pheromone attacks."

"That's good, then."

While saying this, Yao Wei leaned in without needing Lu Xi'an to guide her further.

Lu Xi'an was slightly stunned but soon let go of himself, fully immersing himself in response.

Their breaths were like comet tails crisscrossing, gradually losing composure.

Yao Wei even became so absorbed that she forgot to put her hand up to block as she usually does and wrapped her arms around Lu Xi'an's neck.

After a long while, she came back to her senses and quickly retracted her neck, asking Lu Xi'an, "If we continue, should it be like in the manga?"

Her heart was still beating quickly, but it felt different from before—not out of control, but something seemed to be pushing her further, step by step.

She had long noticed Lu Xi'an's physical reaction and now also felt her own. Recalling the content of the manga Lu Xi'an had read, she gradually felt some unease.

But fortunately, this unease seemed controllable, so she didn't rush to withdraw.

Lu Xi'an stroked Yao Wei's slightly tangled hair and said gently, "It can be like that, or it doesn't have to be."

At this moment, there was an increased charm in Yao Wei's face, but the firm and heroic aura between her eyebrows remained, blending harmoniously with the softness, making her exceptionally captivating.

The air rushed in, and Lu Xi'an felt his lips cool, wanting to fill the gap again. But as Yao Wei already backed away, he respected her and didn't advance further.

Unexpectedly, Yao Wei then gazed straight into his eyes and asked, "If not like that, then how?"

How indeed...

Lu Xi'an understood.

Yao Wei no longer resisted; some things are defined only by the first time and countless subsequent times.

"Do it like this."

He told Yao Wei, pressing closer once more, seeking her lips, the bridge of her nose, chin, earlobe, neck...

Until he moved further down, only to be held back by Yao Wei.

"No more."

Yao Wei said, "That's enough, or I will feel out of control again."

Lu Xi'an had to pause and said, "So, shall we hug for a while?"

Yao Wei hesitated slightly, but seemed somewhat unwilling to leave Lu Xi'an's embrace, torn with indecision.

Lu Xi'an suggested, "Then turn around, and I will hug you from behind."

"Okay."

Yao Wei nodded finally, turned around, letting Lu Xi'an's arms gently wrap around her stomach.

"Are you warm?"

Yao Wei asked.

"Yes, I am warm."

Lu Xi'an replied, adding, "Thank you."

Yao Wei said nothing, quietly lying with Lu Xi'an. She felt some discomfort from behind, reached down to adjust, blocking a bit.

"..."

Lu Xi'an could only smell Yao Wei's hair scent, giving a soft kiss without saying anything.

After a long while, they got up from the bed and started preparing dinner.

Lu Xi'an naturally prepared the meal, stating he was going to make steamed eggs for Yao Wei.

Yao Wei asked Lu Xi'an to take off his pajama pants and change into another pair, proceeding to wash for him.

—She had seen and touched earlier that Lu Xi'an's pants were slightly damp.

Previously when Lu Xi'an made pajamas, he made two sets: one short and one long. The short one needed washing now, so he switched to the long one.

Yao Wei made Lu Xi'an a bit embarrassed, but seeing Yao Wei's natural and normal demeanor, he had to force himself to be calm and changed his pants as instructed.

"Actually, I can wash them myself..."

Lu Xi'an said to Yao Wei once he had changed.

But Yao Wei swiftly grabbed the pants away: "You cook, I'll wash them."

Lu Xi'an: "..."

He had no choice but to take two eggs, crack them into Yao Wei's bowl, and while stirring with chopsticks, he explained to Yao Wei: "Steamed eggs have another name, water-steamed eggs. If done well, the surface will be smooth and tender, and when topped with sauce, they'll be soft and bouncy, with a taste and texture that's quite distinct.

"But we don't have the conditions right now, and my skills aren't enough, so I probably can't make them that smooth. The surface will definitely have many small air holes, but it's okay, and the sauce lacks variety too. But it's okay, I think they'll still be delicious."

"Okay."

Yao Wei responded while scrubbing the pants made from bed sheets.

Lu Xi'an: "..."

He quietly continued to stir the eggs, added water, set up the pot, and placed Yao Wei's bowl into the water-filled pot.

With limited resources, he could only do it this way. If they could find a steamer in the future, it would be much better.

After putting the water-steamed eggs to "steam," Yao Wei had already washed the sheet-made shorts as well and hung them on the makeshift clothes rack in the RV to dry.

She then changed into another pair of pants herself, washed them, and hung them too.

Lu Xi'an watched, momentarily unsure of what to say, thinking it seemed that he wasn't the only one affected just now.

This made him feel slightly less embarrassed, but about this topic, it was still difficult to bring up.

However, after drying her own pajama pants, Yao Wei said to Lu Xi'an, "We can't do this again, it's too troublesome and wastes water."

What could Lu Xi'an say? He could only reply, "Yeah, you're right, I'll listen to you."

After a while, the water-steamed egg was finished. Lu Xi'an lifted the lid and looked; hot steam rose skyward, white mist dispersed, and the liquid that was originally half a bowl had transformed into more than half a bowl of solid.

Because he hadn't used a spoon to skim off the foam beforehand, a layer of air holes floated on the pale yellow steamed egg surface, dotting the top layer of the bowl, but it didn't actually affect its appearance.

For Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei, this bowl of water-steamed egg still made them feel appetized.

Lu Xi'an waited a while before taking the slightly cooled bowl out. With no other seasoning, he just added soy sauce, tried a small mouthful himself, and felt it was pretty good. Although the taste differed from his previous life, it was enough to evoke nostalgia and lingering savor.

"Come, try it."

He generously scooped a spoonful, held it to Yao Wei's mouth, waited for her to open her mouth, then stuffed it in, and only pulled out the spoon after she closed her mouth.

That spoonful of water-steamed egg stayed in Yao Wei's mouth.

"How is it?"

Lu Xi'an asked.

"Good."

Yao Wei nodded and said, "Delicious."

So the two of them took turns with the spoon, sharing the bowl of water-steamed egg, and after finishing it, they were still full of lingering taste.

Lu Xi'an asked, "Are you still hungry? Should I make some more?"

Yao Wei shook her head, saying, "Enough, let's just leave it at this for tonight. We'll talk about it tomorrow."

Lu Xi'an then tidied up the pot, bowl, and spoon.

Once he was done, he noticed Yao Wei had somehow pulled out a book to read.

He suddenly widened his eyes in amazement, exclaiming, "Why are you reading that book?!"

The book in Yao Wei's hand was, surprisingly, the comic Luo Ping had given during their time in the wild in Fengcheng County.

Back at Tan Village shelter, Yao Wei had glanced at this comic once and then immediately tossed it aside. Later, when they left Tan Village by car, Lu Xi'an brought this comic along, and Yao Wei questioned why he took it, but unexpectedly, she found and started reading it now.

"Why are you seriously reading this book?"

Lu Xi'an asked, "Didn't you say before that this book was useless?"

But this time, Yao Wei answered seriously, "It's useful. I want to carefully see how to prepare for having a baby, step by step, to feel confident about it."

Lu Xi'an: "..."

Goodness, this woman was seriously using a comic for learning!

"So, you're not watching a movie tonight?"

Lu Xi'an asked.

Yao Wei replied, "Not watching."

Thus, Lu Xi'an also didn't watch a movie, picking up a martial arts novel brought from Luo Ping to read.

But the martial arts novels in this world were somewhat dull, too formulaic, not interesting. As he read, the book landed on his face — he had fallen asleep.

When he woke up the next day, he found Yao Wei had changed into the short pajama pants she had washed the previous day. As for the long ones, they had been washed and hung up by Yao Wei at some point.

As he sat up, Yao Wei glanced at him then quickly looked away, saying, "From now on, we should stick to what we did before. We'll talk about the rest when it's time to have a baby."

"..."

Lu Xi'an was silent for a while and could only agree, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
