After Transmigrating, I Gained a Wife - Chapter 5

After all the dishes had been brought to the table and everyone had sat down, Father Luo began asking Luo Yan, “That money really was earned from painting?”

Luo Yan said, “Yes.” They were in the middle of eating when Father suddenly brought it up.

Seeing how certain Yan’er’s answer was, Father Luo wondered, had she learned it by herself in ordinary times?

Luo Yan said, “Father, let’s talk after we finish eating.”

After hearing that, Father Luo did not say anything more.

Luo Yan watched her wife eat seriously, her chopsticks never stopping. It seemed she liked the food very much. Mother and Father were the same. Looking at Father, he seemed to like the cold radish dish quite a lot.

Father Luo said, “You went to the market and still remembered to buy me wine. I didn’t dote on you for nothing.” His daughter was good and filial too. Father Luo felt very pleased in his heart.

Mother Luo said, “Our child is very filial!” She had even remembered to buy something for her to eat.

Luo Yan suddenly remembered the hairpin she had bought for Mother and hurriedly searched herself. In the end, she took it out from her left sleeve. “Mother, this is the hairpin I bought for you. When I saw it, I thought it suited Mother very well.”

Mother Luo put down her chopsticks and accepted it, both surprised and delighted. After opening it, she saw that it was made of sandalwood. The hairpin was beautiful, and she liked it at first sight.

Luo Yan said, “When I earn money in the future, I’ll buy even better ones for Mother and Hanxue.”

The person who said it did not think much of it, but the people beside her took it to heart.

Father Luo said, “Take earning money slowly. Don’t rush. Life will only get better and better.”

Luo Yan said, “Father is right.”

After the meal, Luo Yan had her wife return to the room to rest. After clearing away the bowls and chopsticks, Luo Yan went to talk with her father.

Father Luo said, “Yan’er, the food you made today was really good. When did you secretly practice?”

Luo Yan said, “When I went out to work, I learned a little from the cook in that household.”

“Mm. Yan’er, when did you learn how to paint?”

Being asked that made Luo Yan panic terribly inside. “Usually, I never drew on paper. When I wanted to draw, I would use a wooden stick to draw on the ground. I didn’t expect that what I drew would actually be pretty good.”

“That’s quite good then.” His daughter had suffered. He needed to find time to talk to her about it…

Father Luo said, “I saw that you bought brushes, ink, paper, and an inkstone. Practice more in ordinary times. I usually let you read and study, and you can’t stop doing that either!” Sooner or later, there would come a day when it would be useful. You could hide for a while, but you could not hide forever!

Luo Yan said, “I know, Father. There’s also something I would like to ask Father about.” Her days with Hanxue would still be long, so everything needed to be planned in advance.

“What is it?”

Luo Yan said, “When I got sick this time, Xiao Xue only then found out that I was female. Last night, she cried bitterly.”

“Xiao Xue only found out then?” He had thought that girl had found out on the wedding night. He had not expected she only discovered it because his daughter fell ill.

Luo Yan said, “Yes, Father. These past two days, I heard someone say that women and women can also do things between husband and wife. Yesterday, Hanxue cried too sadly, so I said a lot to Hanxue. Today, I feel like Hanxue seems to have taken what I said to heart! But I don’t know how to do it. So I came to ask Father.”

…

After hearing this, Father Luo felt it was absurd to the extreme! …But his daughter had already married Hanxue into the family. In the end, it was all his fault.

Father Luo said, “Daughter, do you like that girl Hanxue?”

“I like her! Hanxue is very good. Even after finding out I’m female, she didn’t cry and make a fuss about going back to her maiden home. Even when she feels wronged, she still behaves properly in front of Father and Mother. I heard that women and women can also do it. Your daughter wants to treat Hanxue well, and I like her in my heart too!”

Father Luo said, “You’ve already made up your mind. In the future, you must treat her properly. As for matters between husband and wife, I have no way to explain them to you. Tomorrow, go to the market again and buy an illustrated booklet. Read it yourself!”

Luo Yan said, “I understand!” Hahaha, things like this really could not be explained. She had only wanted to lay the matter out clearly and let Father understand what she meant.

Father Luo thought about it and continued saying to Luo Yan, “In the future, conduct yourself more like a man. Have a greater sense of responsibility!”

“I understand, Father!”

Father Luo said, “As long as you know. Let’s leave it at that for now. Go back early and rest.”

Luo Yan said, “All right, Father. You should rest early too. I’ll go back to my room.”

When Luo Yan went back, she opened the door gently, thinking that if her wife had already fallen asleep, she should not disturb her.

Luo Yan said, “You’re not asleep yet?” Her silly wife was sitting on the bed, holding the hairpin Luo Yan had bought for her and staring off into space.

“Mm. I’m not sleepy yet.”

Luo Yan said, “Wait for me for a moment. I’ll wash up.”

“Mm.”

In the afternoon, Luo Yan had looked at her fingers. While chatting with Mother, she had trimmed her nails…

Luo Yan washed up very quickly, then went straight to bed, as if someone were chasing after her from behind.

Luo Yan asked, “You like the hairpin that much?”

“Mm. I like this hairpin very much.” It was the first thing Luo Yan had bought for her, so she was happy inside. Now, she felt very nervous with Luo Yan beside her. At night, this person had been like that… It really was…

Luo Yan said, “Should I go blow out the lamp?”

“Can we leave one lamp lit?” If it was too dark, she felt very uneasy. These past few days, she had not dared to say it out loud.

Luo Yan said, “Of course. Wife, you don’t need to be so cautious in front of me. You have to know that you and I are always equal.” Her wife’s voice was soft and light, not daring to be loud.

“Equal?” Hanxue was confused in her heart. It had always been that a wife obeyed her husband in everything, earning his favor…

Luo Yan said, “Yes, Wife. Husband and wife are equal to each other. In the future, if I do something wrong, just say it directly. If anything makes you uncomfortable, tell me. My family is poor right now. Even if you don’t say it, I know it in my heart.”

“Mm. At first, I couldn’t accept it in my heart. But we’re already married, so we can only… be like this.” Hanxue did not dare continue speaking, afraid Luo Yan would get angry.

Hearing her wife’s voice grow lower and lower, Luo Yan also felt uncomfortable inside. But she was not the original owner. She would definitely let Hanxue, Father, and Mother live better lives. On this point, Luo Yan would not compromise!

Luo Yan asked, “Do you hate me?” She had kissed this person at night. Although her wife had also been moved, Luo Yan still wanted to confirm it.

“No, I don’t hate you. It’s just, it’s just…”

Luo Yan asked, “Just?” The way this person spoke made Luo Yan’s heart rise and fall uneasily.

“It feels a little awkward.” She did not know how to get along with Luo Yan. The two of them were both girls, and Hanxue had thought about it until her head was dizzy.

Hahaha, her wife was too cute! Really, too cute! If it were someone else, they probably would have already run back to their maiden home in anger to complain, and it might even be possible for them to go to the authorities!

Luo Yan was terribly happy and pulled her wife into her arms. “As long as you don’t hate me, that’s good. I was quite afraid you would hate me.”

“I don’t hate you.” On the contrary, Luo Yan made her feel at ease.

Luo Yan said, “What I said about women and women also being able to do things between husband and wife, you don’t hate that either?” She spoke softly to her wife. She also had not expected her wife’s ability to accept things to be this strong!

“Didn’t you say women and women can also do it? It’s just that, just that they can’t have children? Were you lying to me?” She kept feeling that Luo Yan was lying to her. No matter how she thought about it, she could not understand how women and women could…

Hahaha, good heavens. Her wife still had not figured out the relationship between all this. “Wife, I didn’t lie to you. Haven’t you heard that relationships between women and women aren’t looked upon favorably by the world?”

“Mm, I’ve heard of that before. If people find out, they’ll be cursed and scorned by the world.”

Luo Yan asked, “Then are you still willing?”

“Luo Yan, we’re already married, and I… I don’t hate you either.”

Luo Yan said, “I know.”

“I want us to live properly together in the future. I know your family lied to me and married me over. Mother told me that she was sick, and Father had no choice but to agree to marry me in.”

“Mother told you?” That surprised Luo Yan a little. If her wife had not said it, she really would not have known.

“Mm, Mother told me. After you fell ill, I found out that you were female. I… What I’m thinking now is still that I want us to live properly together.” This was also what she had thought after Luo Yan said those things to her. If Luo Yan were a man, in truth, it would not be any different. Even if they did not have children of their own, that was all right too.

Luo Yan said, “Thank you, Hanxue.” After saying that, Luo Yan kissed Hanxue’s forehead.

Li Hanxue felt embarrassed and directly burrowed into Luo Yan’s arms. Luo Yan tightened her embrace around the person in her arms. “Hanxue.” Luo Yan called this person’s name.

Hearing her, Li Hanxue lifted her head to look at the other person and blinked.

Her wife was truly wonderful! “Hanxue, I will love you properly, cherish you, and not let you suffer grievances.”

Li Hanxue said, “Mm.” Hanxue was happy in her heart. Luo Yan had never treated her badly. Every day, this person got up very early and went out to work for money. Watching it, in truth, made her feel very distressed.

Luo Yan’s heart was beating quickly. Hearing her wife speak, she suddenly could not control herself. She directly leaned closer and kissed her wife’s mouth.

Li Hanxue was a little startled and wanted to hide backward, but she did not succeed. Luo Yan’s hand had already encircled her. Li Hanxue could not move and could only be forced to endure Luo Yan’s kiss.

Luo Yan was not very intense. Her kiss was gentle. It was precisely because of this that Li Hanxue felt even more lightheaded and dazed, her hands gripping Luo Yan’s clothes tightly.

Luo Yan reached out and held the other person’s hand, slowly interlacing her fingers with her wife’s. Against her mouth, she said, “Relax a little.”

Li Hanxue blushed and did not answer. But that was all right. This person had already begun kissing her again…

After an unknown amount of time, Li Hanxue was already wandering beyond the heavens in a daze. Luo Yan was being restless and had begun undoing Li Hanxue’s clothes without her noticing. Only when Li Hanxue’s slender waist felt a hand did she react. “You… What are you doing?”

Her wife’s voice was very, very soft. When Luo Yan looked over, she only felt that her wife was extremely lovely like this! She leaned closer to her beloved wife and said a line. Her wife became so embarrassed that she buried her head into Luo Yan’s arms. “Luo Yan~”

“Mm, I’m here.”

Li Hanxue said, “I’m not ready yet~ I’m a little scared.” She had heard from the girls that the first time between husband and wife hurt a lot, and she was very afraid of pain.

“Don’t be scared. Hurry and sleep.” Thinking about it, Luo Yan realized it had been a little sudden and had probably frightened Hanxue. For today, she would just let her wife have a good sleep first.

“I’m just a little scared. It’s not that I don’t…” Before Li Hanxue could finish speaking, Luo Yan continued, “I know. I’m not angry either. Rest properly.”
