Chapter 731: Chapter 730 Kiss, Hug and Lift High

"Don’t worry about running out of money,"

"if you do, just send Brother Song a dream, and we’ll burn more offerings for you! As much as you need! Your son and your daughter-in-law can both make money. We’ll absolutely make sure that you can live in luxury down there. We’ve already burned a big mansion for you, and several child servants to wait on you! Just enjoy your blessings!"

"And if you feel like moving on, if you find a suitable ghost uncle down there who catches your eye and treats you well, you don’t need to worry about Brother Song, that faithless dad. Just live a good life! As long as you’re happy, that’s all that matters! Don’t stifle yourself!"

"Brother Song has me! Don’t worry! I will definitely treat him right!"

Wang Yongzhu didn’t know how others would speak to the dead, but she just said whatever came to mind.

Song Chongjin, standing by her side, had a look of helplessness and tender indulgence in his eyes. Listening to Wang Yongzhu’s incessant nagging for his mother to arrange a ghostly marriage underground, he could only shake his head and smile.

In the cemetery, in front of his mother’s grave, Song Chongjin felt not a trace of sorrow; instead, he felt an unusual peace and comfort.

Perhaps there really was a spirit below. After Wang Yongzhu finished speaking, the green smoke that had been scattered by the wind slowly gathered into a column, rising straight up, circling a few times around the head of the grave before dissipating.

Wang Yongzhu patted Song Chongjin: "Brother Song, look, Granny must have heard what I said, she agrees!"

Song Chongjin indulgently agreed, his eyes dark and bright, as if he wanted to engulf Wang Yongzhu entirely.

After conversing with Granny underground, Wang Yongzhu, following the steps she had learned from Old Granny Zhang the previous night, arranged the fruits and pastries, and then respectfully poured out three cups of wine in front of the grave.

Only then did the two of them kneel down properly, performed three kowtows, and stood up.

They borrowed a shovel and hoe from the Monk at the back garden entrance and did some maintenance on the grave, piling up the soil.

Finally, they picked a few fresh branches and inserted them into the head of the grave, marking the completion of the tomb sweeping.

Song Chongjin glanced at the grave and then at Yongzhu standing beside him, feeling an inner calm, and silently said in his heart, "Mother, if you can see, I’m doing very well! I have Yongzhu by my side, so you can be at ease! Yongzhu is a good girl. What she said is what your son also wants to say to you!"

"If there’s a spirit below, live your own life and don’t worry about me! I’ll come to see you again, and I’ll continue to lead a good life!"

After saying these words in his heart, Song Chongjin looked at Wang Yongzhu with tender eyes, "Let’s go! It’s still early. I’ll go enjoy the spring with you! Today, we can not only enjoy the spring but also fly kites and admire the flowers. We seldom get a chance to go out, and I haven’t been accompanying you properly these days. Today, I’ll take you around. Whatever you want today, as long as I can do it, I won’t say no!"

Wang Yongzhu’s heart warmed. Ever since they got together, there had been a continuous stream of events. Although their feelings and status had been affirmed, opportunities like this, to be together without worries or thoughts, simply wandering around, were indeed rare.

She nodded in response, noticing that there were also many young couples around; taking advantage of the Qingming festival, some came to temples to pray for children or to relax.

They walked closely together, whispering in each other’s ears and then looking at each other with eyes brimming with sugar.

Wang Yongzhu was about to jest about how these people were showing off their love to single people, then remembered that she was no longer part of the single crowd.

She was now a married woman in the full light of day!

Suddenly a mischievous smile flashed at Song Chongjin, "Then I want you to kiss me, hug me, lift me up high today. What do we do about that?"

Song Chongjin’s eyes darkened, his breathing grew rapid, and with a husky voice, he asked, "Are you serious?"

Those lustrous eyes locked Wang Yongzhu in place, the depths swirling with a maelstrom, as if he wanted to devour her in one bite.

His intense, unabashed gaze sent a tingling sensation down Wang Yongzhu’s spine, causing a blush to fly onto her cheeks.

She couldn’t help but scream inwardly, her own man was simply too handsome at this moment! If this were in bygone eras, she would have already pounced on him, given her man a tree hug, and kissed him after pinning him down.

But now, with a sigh, Wang Yongzhu calmed down and looked around. Those young couples were, at most, holding hands under their wide sleeves, which was already quite scandalous.

If she really dared to press Song Chongjin against a tree and kiss him, she might be beaten to death for behaving like a shameless rogue.

When in Rome, do as the Romans do! At most, when they were alone in the room, she might give Song Chongjin a wall hug or a kang hug!

After comforting herself, Wang Yongzhu, like those young couples, reached out and grabbed Song Chongjin’s hand. She pinched and touched it under the cover of their sleeves until she was completely satisfied and held it tight.

Song Chongjin...

Sharing a bed every day with the person he loved most, yet only being able to look and not touch, was torture in itself.

But if he had to give up sleeping with Yongzhu and keep to an empty bed, he would rather endure this sweet torture, at least sneaking a kiss occasionally.

In the middle of the night, he could hold a soft, warm jade in his arms!

A young man, with youthful vigor, experiencing this every day. It was a wonder he still only ate vegetarian meals—had he consumed any nourishing food, he might not have been able to restrain himself.

Yet Wang Yongzhu was teasing him at this very moment, and he almost lost his composure on the spot.

If it weren’t for the remnants of his rationality, he would have loved nothing more than to embrace Yongzhu tightly and shower her with affection.

But it was not just words that were said—she actually touched him, that soft, smooth hand pinching and stroking his, successfully stirring up the yearning at the bottom of Song Chongjin’s heart.

Struggling mightily to suppress his desires, Song Chongjin’s eyes carried a hint of red, exuding an indescribable charm.

Song Chongjin, caught in the struggle between reason and emotion, just as his feelings overwhelmed his rationality and he was about to reach out and pull Yongzhu into his arms, he found that his hand was firmly held by hers.

He tried to pull away, but couldn’t.

Again! Still no movement!

Did Wang Yongzhu realize that Song Chongjin wanted to pull his hand away? Outrageous, was he getting too bold?

She glared at Song Chongjin and said in a low voice, "Mine, don’t move!"

She increased her grip just enough to control it so that Song Chongjin couldn’t move but not enough to hurt him.

Song Chongjin struggled for a while to no avail, so he simply gave up and let Wang Yongzhu hold onto his hand.

Just like the other young couples around them, they thought they were being discreet, but everyone knew what was going on, even if no one pointed it out. They held hands and slowly walked through the peach orchard outside the temple.

Song Chongjin’s heart gradually calmed as well, and the yearning was pressed back to the bottom of his heart. At the moment, what filled him was a sense of sweetness and satisfaction.

It seemed that just by holding hands with Yongzhu and walking slowly, he was already experiencing the happiest and most content moments of his life.
