"It is I who am the husband, seeing that I took my brother's place at the wedding."
"Well, let us not argue, but rather act as if we were husband and wife."
Thus both of them spoke words of meaning. They grew more and more passionate.
"Since we are husband and wife," he said impatiently, "why do we not sleep under the same blanket?"
As he spoke, he pushed back the thick quilt, and began to observe the garment on the so sweet and smooth, so soft and graceful body. She had kept on an under garment, but her heart was filled with Springtime thoughts, and she offered no resistance to his eye.
Then, trembling with desire, he came to her breasts that had so lately dawned, and were so firm. Their tender points were red as a cock's crest, and in all things lovable.
Delighted with this game, Prudence put out her hands to return his caresses, and also found his breasts. But there was nothing but quite a little button. She was astonished, and said to herself:
"She is as tall as I am. How comes it that she is not further developed?"
But by this time Yu-lang was holding her right in his arms, and had his lips glued to her, wantonly thrusting out his tongue. She continued the game by giving it a little nibble, and then thrust out her own tongue. This he so tenderly caressed with his that the girl's body seemed all at once to melt, and she said languorously:
"This is no longer a game. We are truly husband and wife!"
