"Hiss—" Shen Qiqi gasped, her whole body aching as if she had been run over by a truck.
She opened her eyes suddenly, and the charming images lingering in her mind made her sober instantly - No way, she didn't really wear it, did she?
!
A familiar scream came from outside, mixed with unbelievable complaints: "What a hell of a place! Where's my Simmons mattress! Where's my air conditioner and WiFi!" This devilish sound was piercing her ears. Who else could it be but her eccentric best friend Xu Jing?
Shen Qiqi shuddered, not caring about the pain in her body, she grabbed a piece of clothing and rushed out.
This damn familiar feeling made her feel extremely uneasy. If she really had transmigrated into a book, then wouldn't she...
She stumbled out of the door and saw Xu Jing, who was also in disheveled clothes. Their eyes met, and in an instant, all their confusion, shock, and disbelief turned into the same sentence: "You are dressed too?!" The next second, they threw themselves at each other desperately and hugged each other tightly.
In the yard, several women in coarse clothes stopped what they were doing and looked at them curiously.
A woman with long braids covered her mouth with her hand and laughed, "Look at the third and fourth daughters-in-law, they have such a good relationship." Another older woman shook her head and sighed, "It's already this late, and you still have the mind to make a fuss."
Shen Qiqi and Xu Jing didn't hear their discussion at all.
At this moment, the two were immersed in the excitement of reunion, as if they had grabbed a life-saving straw.
"Jingjing, I'm scared..." Shen Qiqi's voice trembled slightly.
Xu Jing patted her on the back and said calmly, "Don't be afraid, Qiqi. We've been through a lot!"
At this moment, an old and majestic voice came from behind: "What are you all standing there for! Hurry up and cook! The whole family is waiting to eat!" Shen Qiqi and Xu Jing froze at the same time and slowly turned their heads, only to see an old lady with gray hair and a cane staring at them with a fierce look.
“Grandma…” Shen Qiqi just started to speak when she was interrupted by the old lady.
"Why call her grandma? You should call her mom! The third and fourth sons, what are you all standing there for? The sun is shining on your butts!"
The old lady's urging brought Shen Qiqi and Xu Jing back to their senses.
The two looked at each other and saw helplessness and bitter smiles in each other's eyes.
"Okay, let's fill our stomachs first." Xu Jing pulled Shen Qiqi to the kitchen and said in a low voice, "I seemed to hear someone calling me the fourth son's wife just now..." Shen Qiqi swallowed her saliva, "I seem... to be the third son's wife..." After the two hugged each other, Xu Jing pretended to be relaxed and teased, "Qiqi, I didn't expect that we could meet again in this way. It's really 'fate brings people together no matter how far apart'!" Shen Qiqi smiled bitterly, "That's right, this fate, you can't avoid it." Suddenly, Xu Jing's face changed, grabbed Shen Qiqi's hand, and asked nervously, "Qiqi, do you feel... that we really have traveled through a book?" Shen Qiqi's heart skipped a beat, thinking of the old lady's words just now, and the aches in her body, a chill ran from the soles of her feet to the top of her head.
Before she could answer, the old lady's scolding voice came again: "What are you dawdling about! Go and cook!" The two did not dare to delay any longer and had to walk towards the kitchen obediently.
Entering the kitchen, Xu Jing immediately got furious: "What the hell! I'm an independent woman in the 21st century, and I have to cook here! And using such an old-fashioned stove!" Shen Qiqi looked out the window vigilantly and whispered, "Be quiet, don't let the old lady hear us. We are living under someone else's roof now, so we have to be humble." "But... which book are we in? What is the plot? Who is the male protagonist?" Xu Jing asked a series of questions, which made Shen Qiqi feel overwhelmed.
"I don't know either," Shen Qiqi sighed helplessly, "I only remember the period novel we complained about. The male protagonist seemed to be a soldier, and the female protagonist was... a village girl?"
Just then, a man's voice was heard outside.
"You're back! You must be tired!" The old lady's voice was full of concern.
Shen Qiqi's heart skipped a beat. Could it be...
Is it her "husband" who has returned?
She stood on tiptoe nervously and looked out through the small window.
Two tall men walked in, wearing the same army green uniforms, their backs were almost identical...
"Which one... is mine?" Shen Qiqi muttered to herself.
