"Okay, then get me a set, otherwise I'm not used to it."
Gu Shaoxuan put on his clothes and went out the door, while Xia Enruo sat on the edge of the bed.
I drank quite a bit today; although I wasn't completely drunk, I was still a little tipsy.
Ge Qiuqin was so drunk that she had to be helped into the car by the military wives.
Zhang Xin simply didn't go back with her; he felt disgusted when he saw Ge Qiuqin's wretched state.
This old woman not only embarrasses herself everywhere, but her alcohol tolerance is also incredibly low.
Look at Chief of Staff Gu's wife, her singing voice is like a nightingale's, much better than those in the cultural troupe, and she even toasted a large glass of wine on stage.
The key thing is that nothing happened. Tonight, the two of them are the ones who get to show off in front of the leaders.
Chen Yan was right after all. In this life, only she could help him. Ge Qiuqin and those four kids would only hold him back.
Zhang Zhicheng led his younger siblings to sit in the back seat, while he held his mother's head and let her lie on his lap.
Ge Qiuqin was so dazed that she couldn't even stand up. Her mind was spinning the whole way home, and it was Tian Xiuli and the others who helped her get back to the compound.
Zhang Zhicheng poured water and got a towel to wipe Ge Qiuqin's face, keeping him very busy.
He finally fell asleep beside his mother, without even having time to take off his clothes.
Gu Shaoxuan walked in carrying a set of military green pure cotton underwear.
A short-sleeved shirt and a pair of shorts.
"Honey, put these on, they're all clean."
When the receptionist saw that it was the clothes the chief of staff had requested for his sister-in-law, she didn't dare to be negligent and naturally had to bring out the best items.
The two turned off the lights and lay on the bed. The room was so quiet that they could hear each other breathing.
"Enruo, I can't sleep, it's so hot!"
"Indeed, I didn't expect the heating in the military region's guesthouse to be so good; it's making me a little irritable."
"Maybe I should go downstairs and open the window; it'll be cooler that way."
"No, what if you have a stroke!"
Xia Enruo didn't want to suffer a stroke and have a crooked mouth and eyes.
"Honey, I want to ask you something."
Gu Shaoxuan finally mustered up the courage to speak in the dark.
"What is it? Tell me!"
Xia Enruo was also too hot to sleep, so she decided to listen to what Gu Shaoxuan wanted to ask. He had never asked her any questions in a particularly formal way before.
When can we become a real couple?
Xia Enruo understood Gu Shaoxuan's words without saying a word.
She knew what he meant. The original owner of this body had been married to him for two years, and she herself had been in this world for more than half a year.
Although the two lived under the same roof, they only shared one room.
He's a man full of vigor; it would be abnormal if he didn't think about that kind of thing.
I used to feel unprepared to accept my husband who suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and things didn't start well; we even came to the brink of divorce.
Gradually, I found myself accepting him, accepting the fact that I was married, and accepting his presence by my side.
A few days ago, when my mother-in-law came to visit, he suddenly went back to his unit and didn't come home to stay. For the first time, I felt a sense of emptiness in my heart.
He didn't know when, but his initial discomfort with each touch gradually turned into a habit.
Thinking about this, Xia Enruo really wanted to let go of her last defenses and the knot in her heart, and accept everything about the 1980s!
However, the identity of her transmigrated self remains an insurmountable barrier in her heart. What if Gu Shaoxuan finds out and finds it hard to accept?
Or should we sound them out first?
She thought quietly for a long time, unsure of how to begin.
Seeing that she didn't respond, Gu Shaoxuan continued.
"Enruo, I can wait! I can wait until you completely accept me, even if it takes a lifetime!"
"Shaoxuan, I want to tell you something!"
"One thing?"
Gu Shaoxuan turned to look at her.
"Yes, it's something, something that seems like a huge deal to me! I'm afraid, afraid you can't accept it!"
Xia Enruo said.
"Honey, I told you, I'll hold the sky up even if it falls. You don't need to be afraid of anything. I'll always be by your side!"
"Alright, I'll tell you, don't be afraid! I'm not actually human!"
"Not human?"
Gu Shaoxuan stared at her and repeated.
"Yes, I am a little white snake who has cultivated for 1,800 years."
Xia Enruo felt like she was about to burst out laughing. If Gu Shaoxuan could accept the story of the White Snake, then wouldn't the fact that she was a time traveler be even more acceptable?
"Little white snake!"
Gu Shaoxuan frowned and repeated the sentence.
"Yes, after 1,800 years of cultivation, I shed my snake form and transformed into human form. Originally, I was wholeheartedly devoted to the Dao and prepared to fly to Yaochi to cultivate."
However, I was fortunate enough to receive guidance from Guanyin Bodhisattva, who said that there was still a debt of gratitude I had not yet repaid in the human world, and that I should repay that debt in the human world.
Then it dawned on me that 1,800 years ago I was almost caught by a snake catcher, but luckily I was saved by a shepherd boy…”
His name is Xu Xian.
Gu Shaoxuan smiled.
"Ah, you know!"
Xia Enruo turned her head and glanced at him.
"Wife, isn't this the Legend of the White Snake? I've read it in comic books."
Gu Shaoxuan replied with a smile.
"This is so boring!"
Xia Enruo was somewhat disappointed. She had intended to test him with this story, but she hadn't expected to be exposed.
"It's alright, honey. Just pretend I don't know. Please continue."
Gu Shaoxuan simply propped his head up with his arm, ready to listen attentively.
"Shao Xuan, have you ever heard of reincarnation?"
Gu Shaoxuan nodded.
"It was mentioned in Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio. I loved reading these comic books when I was a child."
"Actually, I am not your wife Xia Enruo. Your original wife Xia Enruo is dead. I am someone else, a person who traveled from the 21st century!"
Gu Shaoxuan thought Xia Enruo was making up stories for him again, so he smiled and nodded at her.
"I'm telling the truth, aren't you scared?"
"Wife, please continue. I'm not afraid."
When Xia Enruo saw Gu Shaoxuan, she thought she was making up a story again. His expression clearly said, "Keep making things up, I'll play along."
Then let's just say it out loud.
"Your former wife was pushed into the river and drowned by Qiao Huizhen. I don't know what happened, but when I opened my eyes, I became her."
I clearly remember that I went on vacation to Hainan Island to dive and see the underwater starry sky. Somehow, my diving suit was suddenly torn by something, and the oxygen escaped instantly.
I felt like a deflated balloon, struggling to swim towards the surface, but the water was too deep.
Before I was even halfway through, I choked on some water, and everything went black. When I opened my eyes again, I found myself in this era.
Gu Shaoxuan chuckled upon hearing this.
I never expected that my wife could not only sing so well, but also tell stories so realistically.
"Enruo, so you mean you traveled directly from Hainan Island to the river in Yongning?"
"yes!"
Xia Enru nodded.
