“Mmm~”
Jiang Ning woke up with a start to find the room dim. A faint, cold moonlight spilled in through the dilapidated window, allowing her to barely make out her surroundings: an old-fashioned canopy bed with yellowed, patched mosquito netting, a paint-peeled table by the bedside, a packed-dirt floor, and mottled mud walls.
Oh my god! Isn’t this the house I lived in with Lin Chen back then?
“Ningning, did you have a nightmare?”
Lin Chen, who had been lying on a bamboo mat on the floor, heard the movement and hurriedly got up to walk to the bedside and lift the mosquito netting.
Jiang Ning felt a tall, sturdy shadow loom over her. He had handsome, upright features, long and deep-set eyes, and a gaze shimmering with concern. His skin was slightly tanned, and his brow still held a trace of youthful innocence; he was clearly his younger self.
She had truly been reborn! She had returned to their wedding night in 1976. They were only married because she had fallen into the water, he had saved her, and her private areas had been exposedâforced by public pressure, they had reluctantly come together. At that time, she had been full of disgust and rejection toward him, so they hadn’t shared a bed on their wedding night or for a long time afterward.
After decades of living together in mutual support until he stopped breathing, she finally realized that her love for him had already seeped into her very bones. Thinking of the cold shoulder she had given him, a bitterness rose in Jiang Ningâs heart, and her eyes welled up with tears.
Lin Chen looked at her weeping, pitiful appearance, and his heart ached. What a wonderful girl she is, he thought. Her skin is white as jade, without a trace of impurity; her features are delicate and exquisite, like a fairy in a painting. She is truly extraordinaryâit is indeed a grievance for her to be paired with a rough guy like me.
Out of a manâs instinct, he pulled her into his arms and coaxed her softly: “Donât be afraid, Iâm here!”
Jiang Ningâs tears gushed out. In her previous life, she had been an innocent and cheerful girl. Every time she lost a child or a loved one, it felt like a rib was being pulled from her body, and it was he who would hold her, comforting her over and over again. Before her rebirth, she had burned the people who harmed them to death. This time, it was her turn to protect them and make sure the suffering they endured was paid back tenfold.
Lin Chen thought she had truly had a terrible nightmare; his heart ached so much he could barely breathe, and he scrambled to help her wipe away her tears. His rough fingers grazed her delicate skin, and her body shuddered as if struck by electricity. Jiang Ning felt his breathing become heavy, and his scorching breath washed over her.
Taking a gamble, she wrapped her soft arms around his neck, her entire body hanging off him as if she had no bones.
“Ningning, you…” He looked at her in astonishment, steadying her slender waist and attempting to push her away. She hated him, didn’t she? He couldn’t take advantage of her situation; he couldn’t have her when she was unwilling.
The next second, however, his thin lips were blocked by her soft, yielding mouth.
Fireworks exploded in his mind, and his heart ignited like a wildfire. The sweet taste on the tip of his tongue left him frozen.
“Take me!” she whispered through the gap in her lips, her actions deepening the kiss.
She is truly willing! We are a legal married coupleâwhat kind of man would he be to neglect his wife on their wedding night? Lin Chen felt his body burning beyond measure and kissed her back. His kiss was domineering and deep, melting Jiang Ning into a puddle of mud.
An hour later, Lin Chen held Jiang Ning from behind, watching her behave as obediently as a kitten. He couldn’t help but bite her earlobe again. “You stay lying down; I’ll fetch some water to wipe you off.”
“Mmhmm.” Jiang Ning murmured in response, her dark, seaweed-like hair spread out as she sat up slightly. “I also want a glass of water.”
Lin Chen rose happily to find his shorts. Jiang Ning saw his tight, even skin, his broad, lean shoulders, and his narrow waist, causing her to blush. Just moments ago, he had displayed astonishing waist strength.
Lin Chen first handed her an enamel mug of water to drink, then fetched a basin of hot water to wipe her down carefully. Despite having been so intimate moments ago, both of them blushed; he kept his hands under the covers to complete the task. Once finished, Jiang Ning pushed the enamel mug, now filled with spiritual spring water, toward him and pouted playfully: “I can’t finish it, you drink it.”
Lin Chen took the mug, catching the lingering fragrance of her breath on his nose, and gulped it down in one go. So sweet! Did todayâs water have honey in it? It was exceptionally sweet! And not only was it sweet, but after drinking it, he felt his whole body brimming with strength.
He lay back down on the bed, his thick arm threading through her hair to serve as a pillow for her neck. Jiang Ning turned to face him, her eyes gradually growing hazy. His Adamâs apple bobbed, his body throbbed with desire, and he pulled her into his embrace once more…
The next day, Lin Chen was woken by the clanging sounds outside. He looked at her delicate body curled up, back to him, and couldn’t help but smile. He glanced at the window; the sky was just barely graying, likely around five o’clock. What is Grandma doing? She usually wakes up at sevenâwhy is she up so early today?
He gently withdrew his arm from under her neck, preparing to get dressed. Looking at her smooth, beautiful face, he remembered last nightâs frenzy, his ears heating up and his heart softening. She is my wife now, my precious treasure. He wanted nothing more than to keep holding her and sleep until the end of time.
As he got out of bed, he couldn’t help but lean in and kiss the corner of her lips. To his surprise, she suddenly opened her eyes, her lazy, watery gaze looking at him with a smile.
Oh no, caught red-handed. Lin Chen bit his lip and grinned foolishly. “You go back to sleep; I’ll go tell Grandma not to make so much noise.”
But his undershirt was hooked by her finger: “Mmm, just lie down and sleep a little longer!”
Her voice was soft and sweet, scratching at his heart like a catâs pawâitching and tingling. He couldn’t help but pinch her chin and kiss her cherry lips. She seized the opportunity to wrap her lotus-root-like arms around his chest. It had to be said, even through his clothes, she could feel the firm muscle lines of his body, and when his straight, muscular legs tangled with hers, they were just as powerful.
“What time is it! Why aren’t you up yet?” Grandmaâs scolding voice came from the main room.
The two separated with difficulty, their eyes lingering on each other with reluctance. Lin Chen told her to rest well and went to face his grandmother alone.
Jiang Ning pulled the quilt tight to cover her face, which was flushed red enough to bleed; she felt playful and lovely. Her body felt like it had been run over by a carriage, yet the moment she touched his skin, she melted into waterâshe really wanted to be “bullied” by him again.
In her previous life, their marriage had felt more like just “getting by,” without ever experiencing the bliss of true intimacy. Because their children had passed away one after another, they had both been too exhausted. In this life, everything could start anew, and she was determined to experience true happiness.
Just as she lay there lazily fantasizing about the future, the door was kicked open. Before Lin Chen could block the way, a silver-haired old woman rushed to the bedside and began to curse at her…
