When the two of them were almost at the door, Attendant Sam understood the situation and didn't follow. Maxim pushed open the door and saw the person he had been missing so much, calmly sipping tea at the table.
Yaelle heard the door open. She looked up and saw Maxim, then happily waved him over to sit. Maxim happily walked over and hugged Yaelle.
He said, "Yaelle, why did you come to the academy? You didn't even tell me." "I missed you, so I came to see you. I wanted to surprise you, and also sneak a peek to see if you've been studying properly."
Yaelle joked. "I've been studying hard this whole time." Maxim pulled Yaelle down to sit and poured her another cup of tea himself. Yaelle took the teacup, sipped a little, and smiled.
"Seeing you work this hard, I feel relieved. But is it tiring to study here?" "Not at all. Gaining knowledge makes me feel fulfilled."
"And thinking of you waiting for me at home motivates me even more." Maxim held Yaelle's hand and looked at her gently. That was pretty cheesy. "Eat something first, you must be hungry after studying all day."
That handsome guy from ancient times sure had a way with sweet talk. Yaelle felt a little embarrassed being looked at like that and changed the subject. "Okay, Yaelle."
Maxim quickly scooped her a bowl of rice from the big pot and gave her a few of her favorite dishes. Yaelle took them and said, "You sit down and eat with me too. It's boring eating alone."
She knew she couldn't change the rules here overnight, so she had to go about it in a roundabout way. She also didn't like eating alone, especially with someone watching. "Alright!"
Maxim happily agreed. Then he got up to serve himself some food and sat back down to eat quickly. His movements still weren't very elegant.
While eating, he kept taking food for Yaelle too. Since she had napped all afternoon, Yaelle didn't have much appetite. She only ate a small bowl and put down her utensils.
Maxim tried to persuade her to eat more, but she didn't listen. With no other choice, he gave up trying. After she stopped eating, Maxim started indulging his own appetite.
Though he didn't wolf it down like a starving animal, his eating speed clearly increased. In no time, the food on the table was all gone. Yaelle looked at his stomach and was amazed.
From the outside, Maxim looked thin, but she hadn't expected him to eat so much. And after all that, his belly didn't even bulge. It made her wonder where all the food had gone.
"Yaelle" Maxim saw her staring at his stomach and thought she disliked how much he ate. He was worried she'd think a little belly wouldn't look good. "Huh, what is it?"
Hearing him call out, Yaelle snapped out of her thoughts and looked away. "We played polo this afternoon!" Maxim explained. "Oh, that's good. It's healthy to exercise."
Yaelle was a bit confused by his sudden comment. "We exercised a lot today, so I ate a bit more. Normally, I don't eat this much."
Maxim explained in a soft voice, afraid she might get upset. "Huh?" Yaelle didn't react at first. After thinking over what he said, she suddenly understood and smiled.
"It's fine. What's wrong with having a good appetite? Being able to eat is a blessing." "The more you eat, the better your body will grow."
"You're still too skinny. You should eat more. Too skinny feels like touching bones, and I don't like that."
Maxim finally felt relieved and quietly resolved to train even harder. Since Yaelle liked his abs, he had to keep them in shape and try to make them even more defined.
"Dear Yaelle, I'll go take a shower first." Then he called Xiao Lan to bring in hot water. Although he had rinsed off briefly and changed clothes after playing ball at the academy, he needed to be clean and fresh when with his wife.
If she disliked how he smelled, it would be troublesome. Since Yaelle had already washed up and napped in the afternoon without going out, seeing how particular Maxim was, she also went into the space to tidy herself up again. When Maxim came out again, he looked visibly excited, grinning from ear to ear.
He turned over and got into bed, hugging Yaelle. They hadn't seen each other for several days, so it felt like a fresh honeymoon. Besides, their marriage was still quite new.
Maxim eagerly kissed her lips. As their lips touched, he couldn't help but let out a sigh. They had missed each other deeply.
When things grew more intense, Yaelle tried hard to restrain herself. She reached under the pillow and pulled out a small kid's fart bag. Taking a deep breath, she calmly said, "Wait a moment, put this on first."
Maxim took the little fart bag and turned it over several times, still unable to figure out what it was. He asked in confusion, "Yaelle, what is this? How do I wear it?"
Seeing how clueless Maxim looked, Yaelle felt regretful. Oh no, now what should I do, this was too rushed. She scratched her head awkwardly, not knowing how to explain.
"This way." Left with no choice, Yaelle tore open the packaging and handed it to Maxim. He stared at the kid's fart bag in his hand with doubt, still unsure about its purpose. But after trying it on, he felt uncomfortable.
He frowned and looked at Yaelle pitifully, asking, "Yaelle, this feels really weird. Why do we have to use it?" Facing his question, Yaelle didn't know what to say.
She couldn't just tell him it was for birth control, so she pretended to stay calm and replied, "Just wear it, no arguing." She didn't know how else to explain either.
Hearing how firm she was, Maxim stopped questioning. He knew now wasn't the time to get stuck on such things, so he followed Yaelle's instructions. After all, the mood was already intense.
They were fully immersed in each other's passion. They once again sank into desire, like dry wood meeting flames, burning fiercely. The night was still long.
Afterward, Maxim cleaned up the battlefield and washed both of them. Then he held Yaelle and asked, "Yaelle, what was that just now?" Lately he had sensed she was hiding something, but didn't know how to ask.
"Not telling you. But from now on, use it every time. If you don't, don't touch me." Yaelle was half asleep and didn't even open her eyes as she spoke.
"Oh, alright." Maxim felt even more wronged, but there was nothing he could do. She was in charge at home, and he could only follow her lead.
