The Village Leader, who had been sighing all the way, sent Li Mo and Jing Ni back before leaving. The wedding was just a formality; Li Mo had no relatives here, and Jing Ni was even less likely to have any relatives or friends. So after registering with the Village Leader, the two were considered married.
Li Mo's residence nestled at the village's rear. Upon pushing the courtyard gate, Jing Ni beheld a modest dwelling, diverging from her expectations. A well, a tree, a bamboo table, and an oddly contoured chair adorned the space. Upon entry, a separate kitchen greeted her on the left, while the hall and bedroom stood apart. Despite its size, it housed all necessities. The furniture and tables were arranged neatly, the house was not messy, and the floor and tables were clean and tidy. This greatly exceeded Jing Ni's expectations.
She turned her head and looked at Li Mo leaning his bamboo pole against the door. Is this person really blind? There is a famous swordsman in the Network who is also blind, but he is able to see with his ears due to his profound skills. However, Jing Ni did not sense any internal energy fluctuations from Li Mo. She could be certain that he was an ordinary person. But how could an ordinary blind person live so elegantly? There was even a teapot that had cooled down on the table.
"Um… the house is quite simple, please don't mind. See if there's anything else you need, I can go to the market to buy it if necessary." Li Mo's lips curled into a smile, swallowing the word "honey" that was about to come out. Jing Ni shook her head lightly. A dumb person who couldn't talk asking questions, and a blind person nodding or shaking his head at the unseen. The Village Leader was right, these two really match. Jing Ni put down the burden on her back and carefully examined her surroundings.
From now on, this would be her home. The person beside her would be her husband. From the moment she stepped into this courtyard, the top assassin of the Network, Tianzi, died. One cannot see, the other cannot speak good or bad. Li Mo also didn't know how to communicate with his new wife. He could only touch his nose and say, "The cupboard is over there, you can put your clothes in there. I'll go cook first, you can rest for a while."
With that, he walked skillfully into the kitchen. Jing Ni watched curiously as he busied himself in the kitchen. Her husband seemed different from other blind people. Regardless, blind or mute, since the choice has been made, this would be her life from now on. Soon, the aroma of food wafted over. In the kitchen, Li Mo also worried about how the two of them could communicate, especially at night. Should they enter the bridal chamber? Even if he asked, she wouldn't answer. Should he just undress directly?
Holding a plate of food in his hands while contemplating, Li Mo couldn't figure it out. After dinner, Jing Ni cleaned up the dishes in the kitchen, while he brought a basin of hot water to the bedside. Just as he was about to take off his shoes to soak his feet, five slender and powerful fingers grabbed his ankle.
"Let me help you, you're not convenient." Immediately, a soft voice suddenly sounded. Li Mo was startled by this sudden voice.
"Who?"
"There are only two of us at home, who else could it be?"
Jing Ni had already taken off her mask, revealing a stunningly beautiful face that mesmerized the bright moon outside. Squatting by the basin, her full and perky buttocks stretched the fabric like a smooth mirror. Sadly, such a breathtaking scene went unappreciated. After all, her husband was blind! Li Mo was completely at a loss, sitting there with a complex expression.
Surprised, he asked, "You can talk now? Why didn't you say a word when you were at the Pavilion Office? Even your name was made up by me!"
Jing Ni gently nodded and took off his shoes. Her expression as calm as water, determined to do what needed to be done without any hesitation. Even if it meant washing the feet of the man who had just become her husband today. She didn't know how to be an ordinary person, how to be a wife. She could only learn from those she had seen or heard before, taking care of each other in that way. Li Mo was somewhat moved and also somewhat surprised in his heart. Not to mention anything else, his wife's voice is indeed pleasant to hear. Although her tone was plain, her voice was gentle, and one could tell she was a gentle and thoughtful girl at first listen. Since he couldn't see her appearance anyway, with such a pleasant voice, he could just imagine her as beautiful. Moreover, was his wife too considerate and thoughtful?
Just as he was thinking this way, Jing Ni had already helped him take off his shoes and socks, and pressed his feet into the basin. "How is it? Is it too hot?"
"Just right, want me to wash together with you?"
Li Mo shook his feet in the water, indicating that the basin was big enough. What's the big deal about washing feet together? The two of them are husband and wife, and in the future, they might even bathe together. The room suddenly quieted down, Jing Ni didn't answer, and an awkward atmosphere filled the air. Li Mo scratched his forehead. He had forgotten the importance of feet to women in this era. These were no less important than the most intimate places, places that not even their own husband could see.
"Okay." Just as he was about to make up for it, Jing Ni's calm voice sounded again. And then, Li Mo felt someone beside him. A faint fragrance of a woman floated into his nose. After a whirring sound, a pair of luscious jade-like feet appeared in the water basin. As their feet touched, Li Mo felt the delicateness akin to sheep fat. Unconsciously, he wondered if his wife's skin was this tender. Jing Ni, who sat upright on the bed, glanced with a hint of surprise in her eyes. It was her first time being so close to a man, the first time their flesh touched. Please ignore when she snapped someone's neck!
The two sat quietly, soaking their feet without speaking. A pair of newly bought red candles on the table emitted a soft light. The room was quiet, with only the sound of Li Mo occasionally splashing water with his feet against the snowy white jade foot of Jing Ni. The cozy atmosphere made Jing Ni momentarily lose herself in an unprecedented trance.
"Can I see your eyes?" Suddenly, Jing Ni looked at the cloth strip over Li Mo's eyes, breaking the tranquility. She was somewhat curious about how Li Mo managed to live so orderly by himself before. Li Mo was taken aback, smiling, "If you want to see, of course you can." She was his wife, was there anything she couldn't see? Even if she said she wanted to see his … uh, he would immediately stand up and drop his pants. Li Mo reached behind his head and untied the cloth strip. After trembling a few times, his tightly closed eyelids slowly opened. Jing Ni stared at his eyes without saying a word.
"Have I startled you?" Seeing Jing Ni remain silent for a while, Li Mo smiled wryly and asked. "No, they're very beautiful." Just as he was about to tie the cloth strip back on, Jing Ni's voice finally sounded. What kind of eyes were these! In the eye sockets, two eyeballs like polished white jade globes were embedded inside. No pupils, no irises. But exquisite and incomparable like pure white gemstones! Li Mo paused for a moment, unable to see his own eyes, he just took it as Jing Ni comforting him.
After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Can I touch your face? I can't see, but I can feel." For some reason, after hearing this, Jing Ni suddenly felt a heavy stone blocking her heart. Her gaze slowly lowered, gently holding Li Mo's hand to her face. Li Mo carefully caressed this palm-sized small face, feeling the delicate features bit by bit. Beautifully arched small nose, a standard melon-seed face, long dense eyelashes, cherry-like small mouth with soft lips. The more he touched, the more Li Mo became uncertain. How could his wife's face be so perfectly proportioned? Could it really be a beauty? Did he hit the jackpot?
Suddenly, Li Mo froze! A clear image of a face appeared in his mind. Exquisite and perfect features, undoubtedly a stunning beauty! And not just a face. Including Jing Ni's entire figure, the wall behind her, the yard beyond the wall. As well as the bedside behind him and the furnishings in the house, all presented without any blind spots, 360 degrees in front of his eyes! As if covered by consciousness, all scenes and objects in this space were completely exposed! More complete and clear than seeing with his own eyes!
