"No!" Li Xin shook his head firmly.
She thought that it was time for her to clarify the misunderstanding on the wedding day with He Beichen.
If He Beichen always has this knot in his heart, it will be very unfriendly to their future married life.
"It's not that I didn't want to marry you before. I knew my uncle just wanted to collect your betrothal money, so he forced me to get married. I just didn't want to be sold like a commodity by them, so I wanted to resist in... that way." Li Xin explained.
"But I didn't mean to target you. I thought that way, the Li family would compromise. At that time, whether it was you or anyone else, I would have done the same thing."
After saying that, Li Xin sighed almost inaudibly.
In fact, the reason why the original owner wanted to hang herself was not just because of this, but also because she liked Xu Jincai, and because Li Xueping had told the original owner that soldiers would beat people.
Only the original owner who felt there was no hope for the future would choose to end his life in that way.
However, Li Xin did not think that the way to resist had to be at the cost of suicide. It was just that the original owner's vision made her unable to think of a better way. Moreover, long-term exploitation had cultivated the original owner's cowardly character, and she did not dare to resist the Li family, which is why she became like this.
"What about you now? Did you join me in the army because you were rebelling against that family?" He Beichen asked back.
He was very smart. From what he had just seen and Li Xin's explanation, he quickly understood the key and analyzed Li Xin's thoughts.
"..." Li Xin was stunned for a moment. At the beginning, she did think so, to get rid of the troubles of that family by going to the army with He Beichen.
Then when this short-lived husband is gone, she can spend as much time as she wants. After all, she still has space and skills, so she will definitely not starve.
"Originally. But in the future, I also want to live a good life with you." After a short silence, Li Xin looked up at He Beichen beside him and spoke with a smile.
Her eyes were bright and sincere, and she did not hide her initial thoughts from He Beichen.
He Beichen couldn't help but tighten his grip on her hand.
When Li Xin suddenly mentioned these things just now, he was even mentally prepared that Li Xin would file for divorce with him, but fortunately the result was not bad.
"He Beichen, please lead me to a new life." Li Xin felt his hand being held tightly, and spoke to He Beichen solemnly.
"Okay." He Beichen agreed very solemnly, but his ears turned red.
Li Xin turned his head and looked forward, but he couldn't suppress the corners of his lips. In this remote mountain village, the surrounding scenery seemed to have become much better.
…
The two of them arrived in town. It was almost noon when He Beichen came to find her. It was already past lunch time when they arrived in town, and they hadn't even had lunch.
Sanmao is cooking in Li Xin’s space, but you can’t bring He Beichen into the space to eat, right?
You will be mistaken for a monster and shot to death!
She found a state-owned restaurant and walked in with He Beichen. Nowadays, there are almost no people running their own businesses, and many restaurants belong to the state and collectives.
The two had a sumptuous late lunch, then found a guesthouse and booked a room.
In the afternoon, Li Xin took He Beichen to the town to buy some things, preparing to take them on the train tomorrow.
The guesthouses of this era were rather simple, and unlike the large-scale hotels of later generations, the facilities were not complete. However, compared with her small room in the Li family, it was already considered very good.
"I'm done washing." Li Xin didn't bring any clothes, so he just washed up simply.
She looked at the bed in the room, and her face turned a little red when she thought about sleeping with He Beichen in the future.
But I was still a little excited inside.
?(? ???ω??? ?)?
They only slept together on their wedding night, after which He Beichen slept on the floor for the rest of the night before leaving to pay his respects to his parents.
"Well, you go to sleep first." He Beichen got some hot water and went to the bathroom.
Li Xin thought about it, climbed onto the bed first, and waited for He Beichen to come out of the shower.
He Beichen always takes a quick shower and came out in a short while. Hearing the sound, Li Xin, who was waiting for someone, hesitated for a moment and got under the quilt.
"..." As soon as He Beichen came out, he saw Li Xin hiding and stood there in silence for a moment.
He looked at the ball wrapped up on the bed, turned around and searched the room for an extra quilt, ready to make a bed on the floor.
Li Xin covered herself with the quilt, waiting for He Beichen to pull open the quilt and lie down beside her. However, after waiting for a long time, she felt that her breathing began to become a little difficult, but why was He Beichen still not moving?
And when she pricked up her ears, she heard He Beichen seemed to be walking around in the room, and she didn't know what he was doing.
Why doesn’t he come up to sleep yet?
She is all ready!
"What are you doing..." Li Xin muttered to himself, pulled away the quilt covering his head, and stuck his head out to see what He Beichen was doing at the moment.
He Beichen walked around the room and opened the two large cabinets, as if he wanted to take out the quilt inside.
This... the weather isn't particularly cold, so there shouldn't be a need for two beds, right?
Does He Beichen want to share a quilt with her?
"What are you doing?" Li Xin was confused, but finally couldn't help but asked curiously.
"Sleep on the floor." He Beichen turned around and saw her messy little head popping out from under the quilt.
He didn't look away immediately, but couldn't help but look at Li Xin's face twice more. Because of confusion, she tilted her head slightly, and her expression looked very puzzled.
"Sleeping on the floor? The bed is so big, you don't have to sleep on the floor, right?" Li Xin was shocked. He left his beautiful wife behind and went to sleep on the floor?
Is there anything wrong?
She wondered if He Beichen was bothered by what he said during the day, so he was intentionally distancing himself from her.
Li Xin opened his mouth, wanting to say something.
"You had a fever that day...you are not feeling well, and you have to catch a train early tomorrow morning, so it's best not to sleep in the same bed for now." Before Li Xin could say anything, He Beichen spoke first and told her the reason why he wanted to sleep on the floor.
Because after the wedding night, Li Xin was sick and stayed in bed for a whole day. He Beichen already thought that she was very weak. In addition, when they left Guangyuan Village today, Li Xin looked like she was dying after just running two more steps. He Beichen felt that she would definitely not be able to bear it.
"..." Li Xin fell silent after listening to this. His face, which had been a little hot, turned cold - he was angry!
Her body is not actually that weak, it's just that He Beichen is too strong!
Li Xin turned over angrily and silently covered his face with the quilt he had just pulled open.
He Beichen took out a quilt from the cabinet and spread it on the floor.
The room in the guesthouse was very small. After putting a big bed in it, the table and cabinet took up a lot of space, and there was not enough space left for another bed.
He Beichen was tall and strong, and that little space was only enough for him to curl up and sleep.
With long arms and legs, he felt suffocated just by looking at them, and he couldn't sleep at all.
