Chapter 16

“Wife, I just want to hear your voice.” Zhou Yi pulled Song Xi’s small hand over and kissed the back of her hand. It was fragrant and soft, mesmerizing him.

“Boring.” Song Xi hurriedly retracted her hand, as if he was a ferocious beast.

How could Zhou Yi sleep when their relationship was warming up? He wanted to keep looking at his wife like this. “Wife, you’ve really broadened my horizons today, do you know? I’ve never seen so many good things. How did you do it?”

“Maybe it’s because I’m more beautiful that my luck is better!” Song Xi held her chin with both hands and made a flower shape. She was extremely smug. She would not reveal the secret of her big treasure vault!

However, Song Xi’s lips curled up into a faint smile. She was indeed prettier than flowers.

“Wife, you’re not allowed to use honey traps outside in the future. If you want to use them, you can only use them in front of me.” Zhou Yi could not withstand such a beautiful face. He impulsively leaned over, grabbed Song Xi’s chin, and lowered his head to kiss her lips.

Because he had fed her medicine and water previously, Zhou Yi had developed the habit of brushing his teeth three times a day. Even after eating, he would rinse his mouth, so Song Xi did not smell anything strange.

She was just a little stunned by the sudden kiss. When she reacted, she was a little embarrassed.

Song Xi awkwardly struggled to free her hands from Zhou Yi’s grip on the pillow. Her body was still in the recovery stage and she did not need much strength. Such a struggle was simply coquettish to Zhou Yi. It was simply an invitation.

However, he knew Song Xi’s physical condition very well. He did not dare to do anything to her, nor would he do anything to her. After all, they were going to spend the rest of their lives together. He did not want to anger his little wife at this time.

Song Xi closed her eyes, her eyelashes trembling. At this moment, she had mixed feelings and was a little flustered. In the modern world, she had never been in a relationship officially.

When she was in her third year of university, she went to the art building with her roommate to practice martial arts. At the art building, she met Wang Mingge, who had a company there.

Wang Mingge was indeed very good-looking, handsome, and had a lot of muscles. Song Xi was indeed a little smug when she was pursued by such an outstanding man.

However, before she could devote herself to love, she realized that this Wang Mingge was not only a playboy, but also a domestic abuser.

Of course, Song Xi wasn’t close to him yet, so it wasn’t Song Xi who was abused, but Wang Mingge’s two ex-girlfriends. They had both broken up after being abused by Wang Mingge.

Wang Mingge was also a master of time management. He dated different girls at different times and even dated Song Xi’s roommate who practiced martial arts with her. Although at that time, everyone’s attitude towards relationships was relatively open and casual, Song Xi still couldn’t accept it, so she blocked Wang Mingge. But in the era of big data, no one had privacy, so it was useless to block him. Wang Mingge always had a way to contact her.

The reason why Wang Mingge pestered her was probably because she was beautiful and he felt indignant that he didn’t succeed. After all, he had never failed, except with her.

In short, Song Xi just ignored him. As time passed, Wang Mingge gave up. Besides, Wang Mingge was a playboy and didn’t lack women around him. He knew that he couldn’t get her, so he didn’t want to waste time or money.

Ever since then, Song Xi had no intention of dating. However, she did not expect that she would be upset by Zhou Yi when she came to this parallel universe.

Just as Song Xi was about to suffocate, Zhou Yi let go of her in advance. He pressed his forehead against hers. In the silent house, their breathing was a little heavy under the dim light.

“Wife, when we go back tomorrow, I plan to send Dad a piece of cured meat and a cured duck.” It was his business to be filial to his elders, but now he had to be filial with what his wife had bought, so he had to respect his wife’s opinion. He was not the kind of person who thought that men were definitely better than women and that women had to obey men.

He would not force his thoughts on his wife.

“It’s fine as long as you decide,” Song Xi replied softly. She was a little tired and her eyelids were starting to droop.

“Wife, you painstakingly brought these things back, so it’s better to get your approval…” Before Zhou Yi could finish speaking, he saw Song Xi completely close her eyes. He looked at her sideways. After a while, he pulled the cord and turned off the lights in the room.

Life in this city was really good. It could be so bright at night. He did not know when they would be able to live such a life in the mountains. He had to work hard and let his little wife live such a life as soon as possible.

The next morning, Song Xi opened her eyes in a daze. Through the gap in the curtains, she saw the glaring sunlight outside. She was so shocked that she instantly sat up. Seeing that Zhou Yi was not in the room, she secretly took out her watch and looked at the time. It was actually past nine.

After washing up, she saw Zhou Yi return. Song Xi had a bitter expression. “Brother Yi, why didn’t you call me? It’s already past nine. How are we going back?”

“The ox cart sets off from the village to the commune in the morning. At four in the afternoon, it sets off at the commune back to the village. This way, we will be avoiding the noon and afternoon sun.” Ping’an Village was really too far from the commune. It was not easy for them to come here. It took six to seven hours to go back and forth. If the villagers driving the ox cart sent everyone to the commune before returning, it would be too tiring. Therefore, he set off early in the morning and returned in the afternoon.

In the meantime, he would find a cool place to rest. Of course, only when it was the slack season for farming would everyone have an ox cart to sit on. At other times, they would have to walk by themselves or apply to the village to use the ox cart if they had something urgent to deal with.

Zhou Yi woke up early in the morning. Seeing that Song Xi was sleeping soundly, he did not wake her up. She was not in good health, and sufficient sleep could speed up the recovery of her body, so he went to the state-owned restaurant alone and packed egg noodles back. As soon as Zhou Yi opened the lid of the aluminum lunch box, a faint smell of oil rushed into her nose. Song Xi could not help but swallow her saliva.

Zhou Yi handed the chopsticks to Song Xi. “Are you hungry? Come and eat the noodles quickly. Let’s see how good the chefs at the state-owned restaurant are. Don’t we have five catties of flour? I’ll make you noodles to eat when we get back.”

“Brother Yi knows how to make noodles?” When Song Xi heard this, she raised her eyebrows in surprise and her eyes lit up. She did not expect him to know how to make noodles!

“Yes. Not only does your husband know how to make noodles, but he also knows many other things. I’ll slowly show them to you in the future.” Zhou Yi reached out and stroked Song Xi’s hair that was hanging in front of her chest. As there was a wound on the back of her head, she could not wash or comb her hair, so her long hair exploded on her head like weeds, making her look like a little lion.
