“Zhao Da Wu…”
Qin Si pondered for a moment before deciding to tell the truth:
“Zhao Da Wu won’t live much longer. When I fought him, I deliberately targeted a few acupoints. He’ll die of internal organ failure in seven days at most.”
“Ah?”
Chen Yue Lian quickly looked up, anxiously asking:
“Will he blame you?”
“No, I was measured. The flesh wounds aren’t fatal. No one except me will know the real cause of death.”
“That’s good.”
“Don’t you think I’m cruel?”
Chen Yue Lian shook her head:
“If Zhao Da Wu kept harassing us, it would be either him or us who died. Let him die. He wasn’t a good person anyway.”
The incident was over, no need to dwell on it anymore.
“I saw you got hit a few times. Are you injured?”
Chen Yue Lian asked with concern.
“No.”
“Take off your shirt and let me see.”
Qin Si obediently took off his shirt, revealing his perfect physique.
Chen Yue Lian swallowed, touching his pectoral muscles, then his abs, her eyes almost glued to him.
It was a little cold.
Qin Si didn’t rush to put his clothes back on, letting her have her fill.
After a while, confirming that Qin Si was uninjured, Chen Yue Lian handed him his shirt.
“Satisfied?”
“Hehe, satisfied. It’s handsome.”
Chen Yue Lian didn’t feel embarrassed, holding Qin Si’s waist and giggling.
Suddenly, she asked out of the blue:
“Buried?”
“Yeah, by the wild dog hole. The scenery is nice. Should be a good feng shui spot.”
When Qin Si went up the mountain, he found a suitable place and buried ‘Qin Si.’
He considered this a proper closure.
“What did you draw on the table?”
“Draw?”
Qin Si looked at the words he’d left that morning, asking:
“You can’t read?”
“Oh, those are words? I’ve never been to school, of course I can’t read.”
Chen Yue Lian touched Qin Si’s face, liking it more and more:
“You went to school?”
“I did. I started with the Nine-Year Compulsory Education…”
“Nine what education?”
“It’s nine years of elementary and junior high school combined. No tuition fees.”
“That’s great.”
Chen Yue Lian sighed, with a hint of envy and longing in her eyes.
Seeing her like that, Qin Si had an idea.
“How about I teach you to read?”
“Really?”
Chen Yue Lian’s eyes lit up, staring intently at Qin Si.
Qin Si rubbed her nose, took a piece of charcoal from the kitchen, and wrote ‘Chen Yue Lian’ on the table.
“This is your name. Come, I’ll teach you.”
“Okay, okay.”
Qin Si held Chen Yue Lian’s hand, teaching her how to write.
Chen Yue Lian carefully wrote stroke by stroke, her expression serious.
As they wrote, Qin Si asked:
“Do you know a girl in the village named Qin Jing Ru?”
“I do. The person who spoke up for me today was her dad, Qin Liang. There are four people in her family: her parents, her, and her brother Qin Huai Sheng. What about it?”
“No sister?”
“No biological sister, but they have a cousin, Qin Huai Ru.”
Sure enough.
Qin Si always thought he had traveled to the year 1949 in his own world, but now it seems…
This world might not be his world.
But it doesn’t matter, he can’t go back anyway.
Whatever.
“Do you like her?”
Chen Yue Lian asked.
“Who?”
“Qin Huai Ru.”
“No.”
“Then do you like Jing Ru? She’s only eleven. You…”
Chen Yue Lian looked Qin Si up and down, like she was looking at a beast.
Qin Si tapped her forehead.
“Stop thinking nonsense. She just looks familiar.”
“Like Bai Lu, the big star?”
“Yes.”
“What’s her name?”
“Hao Lei.”
…
“What are you thinking about?”
“I’m thinking… could this be a dream?”
Seeing him lost in thought, Chen Yue Lian pulled his hand, sliding it into his down jacket.
“Soft?”
“Soft.”
“Like it? Still a dream?”
Chen Yue Lian winked playfully.
“Haha.”
Qin Si was amused. He didn’t expect her to comfort him.
It’s true, why think so much?
Even if it’s a dream, at least for now, it’s a beautiful dream.
Chen Yue Lian was mesmerized, he looked so good when he smiled. She couldn’t take her eyes off him.
“Qin Si, you’re so handsome.”
“Thank you.”
“You’re welcome, hehe.”
“Qin Si.”
“Hmm?”
“Kiss me.”
“Okay.”
The deep kiss lasted a long time, not out of desire, but pure affection.
She was exhausted last night. Although she didn’t hurt anymore, her bones were still weak, almost disintegrating.
Qin Si knew she was tired, so he was gentle and didn’t ask for more.
When they finally gasped for air, Chen Yue Lian reluctantly pulled away.
Qin Si took out a beauty pill from his spatial storage and gave it to Chen Yue Lian.
“Eat it. It’ll make you beautiful.”
Chen Yue Lian didn’t hesitate, swallowing it whole.
Soon, Chen Yue Lian felt her body heat up, and toxins and waste were eliminated.
Dark sticky liquid appeared on her body and face.
“Yuck, it’s so smelly.”
She quickly boiled some water, using three buckets of hot water before she felt clean.
Her whole body felt comfortable.
She changed into new clothes and went out to take a look.
Her skin was fair and rosy, where was her previous wheat complexion?
She looked like a goddess who had just stepped out of the bath!
“How do I look?”
There was no mirror, so Chen Yue Lian could only ask Qin Si.
“Beautiful.”
Qin Si sincerely praised her.
“Hehe.”
Chen Yue Lian happily looked at her hands.
They used to be full of calluses, with dark skin. Now they were delicate like white jade, smooth as silk.
Using Qin Si’s eyes as a mirror, she saw her fair face, and saw the love in Qin Si’s eyes.
She was satisfied.
The insecurity she felt around Qin Si due to her appearance was slowly dissipating.
Evening.
Qin Si cooked dinner, Chen Yue Lian learned by watching.
“How come you cook so well?”
“Hobby. Self-taught.”
Radish and pork stew, a potful of it, the aroma wafting far away.
Chen Yue Lian wrapped her arms around Qin Si’s waist, acting cute:
“You’re only allowed to cook this one more time. I’ll do it from now on. You’re the man, you can’t go into the kitchen anymore.”
“Is there such a rule?”
“Yes. If the villagers find out, they’ll gossip.”
“Don’t care about them. I enjoy it.”
“Hehe, you’re so nice.”
Chen Yue Lian was so happy she swayed. Qin Si was helpless, he could only put one arm around her, holding the spatula in the other hand.
They had enough to eat, and there was meat.
They weren’t starving or freezing.
And they had a husband who doted on her.
It was already a very happy life.
Chen Yue Lian didn’t dare to ask for more.
As they were getting cozy, they heard noises from outside.
Two little heads appeared at the kitchen door, then retreated…
