Zhao Huanhuan never imagined what it would be like to experience all sorts of complex emotions at the same time.

That night, she experienced it.

The little expectations and imaginings in Lin Yuan's heart before she turned off the lights vanished into thin air the moment he pressed against her, the moment he hugged her tightly with trembling hands.

All she could feel next was his hot breath, his rapid kisses, and his deep, whispered calls of her name.

Pain and pleasure, anticipation and trepidation—every moment, as he led her to the pinnacle of life, a life-or-death experience, became Zhao Huanhuan's first new experience in both her past lives that night.

When the passion subsided, Zhao Huanhuan was completely exhausted. She leaned weakly against him, letting him help her clean up, giving her one deep kiss after another, and whispering words of concern asking if she was still in pain or tired.

Zhao Huanhuan only managed to say in a low, hoarse voice, "My throat hurts!"

Although he swallowed all her sweet cries, her throat was truly hoarse from shouting.

Zhao Huanhuan never knew she was such a delicate person. She wanted to shout when she was in pain, she wanted to shout when she was happy, and she wanted to shout even when he held her in his strong arms.

Before going to sleep, Zhao Huanhuan had only one thought in her mind: when Lin Yuan came back to live with her in the future, she wanted to live in a separate room from Lin's parents. Otherwise, she was afraid that if she couldn't help but shout out loud, her parents would hear her, and she would be too embarrassed to face them the next day.

When Lin Yuan heard her say in a coquettish voice that her throat hurt, she felt a little sorry and gently stroked her throat with her fingers, whispering "I'm sorry".

When his fingers touched her, Zhao Huanhuan's body trembled slightly, and she wanted to shrink back!

Lin Yuan quickly withdrew her hand, said sorry again, and whispered, "You lie down first, I'll go get you some hot water, drinking some water will make your throat feel better."

When Lin Yuan returned after putting warm water in Zhao Huanhuan's cup, Zhao Huanhuan was already fast asleep.

She was so tired!

Zhao Huanhuan didn't expect that even though she didn't have to exert much effort, she would still feel as tired as if she had been carrying bricks all day.

In a daze, Lin Yuan helped her up, she drank half a glass of water, and then lay back down to continue sleeping.

Lin Yuan finished the rest of his drink, put down the water glass, settled her in, put the teacup back, turned off the light, and went to bed with his wife in his arms.

However, he couldn't fall asleep for a while, so he just kept his head down and silently looked at his wife in his arms in the darkness.

On the day he returned home from the army, he never imagined that he would meet the love of his life on this trip back.

Sometimes, fate is just that wonderful; it can arrive very quickly.

Although their relationship didn't start with a normal blind date or dating, it was all about marriage from the beginning, and now they've started to attract and like each other.

He could also sense that his wife had developed feelings for him and had become dependent on him.

He was overjoyed. Tonight was their wedding night, and he couldn't control himself. He just wanted to give her all the happiness he could.

He also had his own selfish motives; he wanted his wife to think of him during the days he was away from home.

He longed for their next reunion, hoping that separation would make their marriage even better.

The next day, as soon as Zhao Huanhuan opened her eyes, she felt the brightness in the room; it was daylight.

She lay there in a daze for a while before slowly coming to her senses. She remembered that she got married yesterday, and today seemed to be the day she was supposed to go back to her mother's house.

She quickly got up, the thin blanket slipped off her body, and when she looked down and saw that she wasn't wearing pajamas, she realized that Lin Yuan hadn't left last night and had come back to consummate their marriage.

The pillow next to him had a dent, indicating that he had stayed with him all night, but now there was no one else in the room!

Has he already left?

That doesn't make sense either. His bus back to the military base was supposed to be at 10:00, but his bus back to Yuancheng was at 8:30.

Oh no, what time is it?

Amidst the chaos, Zhao Huanhuan dressed, folded her bedding, and got off the kang (heated brick bed).

Seeing their shoes placed side by side by the door, but Lin Yuan's slippers were not inside, Zhao Huanhuan belatedly realized that he must not have left.

Just then, the door opened, and Lin Yuan pushed it open and came in.

"Get up, Huanhuan, come eat. It's 6:30 now. We need to hurry to Shanglin after we eat, or we'll miss our train." Lin Yuan had already washed up and dressed. In her hand, she was carrying a wooden tray with two bowls of steaming porridge, a few eggs, two steamed buns, and a dish of cold bean sprouts.

"Did Mom get up so early to cook?" Zhao Huanhuan asked in surprise.

"Yes, Mom got up at five o'clock," Lin Yuan said softly.

Hearing his mother get up, he quickly got out of bed, moved around in the yard for a while, chatted with his parents for a bit, and then went back inside to wash up and get dressed.

Zhao Huanhuan responded and went to wash her face and brush her teeth.

Lin Yuan set out breakfast, placed the plates aside, and leaned closer to Huanhuan, asking in a low voice, "Huanhuan, are you still feeling unwell? Does your throat still hurt?"

"Cough, much better. I think I drank some water last night while I was half asleep. Thank you!" Zhao Huanhuan said to him shyly.

"It's okay, no need to thank me!" Lin Yuan smiled and gently pulled her hair back to prevent it from falling into the washbasin while she washed her face, replying softly to his words.

"Then don't say sorry to me next time. We are husband and wife, we share honor and disgrace, we share happiness and hardship, and neither of us owes the other anything!" Zhao Huanhuan said softly.

"Okay!" Lin Yuan grinned and replied.

Zhao Huanhuan quickly finished washing up, and the two of them hurriedly ate.

After Lin Yuan finished eating, he went to deliver the bowls and chopsticks. Zhao Huanhuan packed a few clothes into her schoolbag, put her wallet in it, and then went to apply oil to her face.

When Lin Yuan returned, she was already ready to go out.

The two went to say goodbye to their parents, and it was almost seven o'clock when they left.

Lin Yuan didn't bring much this time, just a few changes of clothes, a few books, and his schoolbag, all stuffed into a large tote bag, which he carried away in one go.

The two rode a bicycle together. Zhao Huanhuan sat on the back seat carrying the bag, while Lin Yuan rode with Zhao Huanhuan on the back.

To ensure Zhao Huanhuan's safety when she returned, the two of them rode Zhao Huanhuan's new bicycle.

When they arrived at the station, they paid to store their bikes for a week. The staff at the bike storage area took them to the very back and even covered them with a tattered burlap sack. After locking their bikes, they thanked the staff and hurried to the waiting room.

When they arrived, the ticket check was almost over, and the two of them managed to catch the end of the line.

After getting on the bus, the two of them sat down and breathed heavily, finally making it; they had almost missed their stop.

They exchanged a glance and both laughed helplessly.

Lin Yuan held Zhao Huanhuan's hand tightly, which was resting on the seat, and didn't let go.

They only had these three hours together this year, and once they arrived in Yuancheng, they would have to say goodbye for now.
