【It's okay, I can be reborn into a successful animal person and then raise you, isn't that touching? Don't love me, there's no future for us ( ̄^ ̄)】
[No result is needed, because I don't love you, and you don't deserve it (middle finger here).]
【Hmph ╯^╰ You'll beg me to love you!】
Wake up, you're probably living in a dream.
Qiao Zhen found that she had nothing to do, because after Pan Zhao saw the clean house, he diligently repaired the dilapidated house again. Although it was a bit troublesome for him to do the repairs by himself, he still restricted Qiao Zhen from doing these dirty and tiring jobs.
In the evening, after Pan Zhao finished bathing in the river, he returned home to find that Qiao Zhen had cooked the leftover rice from lunch into porridge. She also made a dish of cucumber salad with some vinegar in it.
He scratched his head. "Ah Zhen, are you getting impatient? Call me if you want to eat, and I'll cook for you."
Qiao Zhen declined, "No need, you're already very busy. I only started cooking porridge because I saw you taking a shower. It'll be just in time for dinner when you get back."
Pan Zhao nodded blankly, then sipped his porridge slowly. He always felt a deep sense of inferiority in front of Qiao Zhen. She was the daughter of a wealthy family in town, while he? He was an orphan with no parents, used to a rough life.
Qiao Zhen felt a pang of sadness as she watched his restrained movements. What were his feelings when he was listening to Wu Zhen's sharp and sarcastic remarks as his life was ending?
How heartbroken he must have been when he closed his eyes in his previous life? He had given his all, only to be met with utter ingratitude.
Qiao Zhen stopped what she was doing and looked at Pan Zhao. "Are you not feeling well? You didn't eat as happily as usual today."
Pan Zhao said softly, "No... I'm not feeling unwell. I'm just afraid... afraid you'll dislike me."
The burly, rough-looking man, who looked to be about 1.9 meters tall, seemed like a timid young wife, and for some reason, I felt he was somewhat wronged.
Qiao Zhen couldn't help but smile. "I'll follow you wherever you go, no matter how hard I try. You know, every time you eat so happily, it makes me want to eat too. Didn't you notice that I ate less at lunch today than I have the past few days?"
"Really?" Pan Zhao looked at Qiao Zhen expectantly, his eyes shining.
Qiao Zhen nodded, "Of course it's true." She picked up a piece of braised pork and put it into Pan Zhao's bowl.
How hypocritical!
Qiao Zhen's hand trembled, her eyelids twitched, and she accidentally poked the braised pork off the ground with her chopsticks. "Haha, my hand just slipped."
She looked like she was deliberately trying to embarrass Pan Zhao, but heaven and earth can bear witness that she really did tremble because of the voice in her head.
Qiao Zhen completely shut down the mental channel. Looking at Pan Zhao's instantly downcast eyes, she couldn't help but feel a little guilty. "Cough, I really did accidentally let my hand shake a little."
She placed another piece of braised pork in Pan Zhao's bowl, saying, "Eat up."
Pan Zhao's low spirits instantly lifted. He happily munched on the meat Qiao Zhen handed him, then slurped down his porridge. After finishing, he let out a satisfied burp, lowered his head shyly, and smiled awkwardly.
Qiao Zhen couldn't help but smile, her eyes crinkling with delight as she looked at Pan Zhao's satisfied expression.
After finishing his meal, Pan Zhao prepared bath water for Qiao Zhen.
Qiao Zhen was happy to enjoy this human service. She quickly finished her shower and came out. She looked at the only kang (a heated brick bed) in the room and silently processed the news that she would be sleeping with Pan Zhao.
But everyone is an adult, and some physiological reactions are unavoidable. For example, Pan Zhao's erection was pressing against Qiao Zhen's leg.
Although Qiao Zhen was also somewhat aroused, she could only silently recite "form is emptiness, emptiness is form." She didn't yet have the capacity to accept this, after all, the physical bodies of the mission targets had all changed.
However, Pan Zhao did not sleep well at night. He was breathing heavily and tossing and turning.
Qiao Zhen wasn't a deep sleeper, after all, there was a different person next to her. Not long after, she was woken up by Pan Zhao. She opened her eyes and sat up, "What's wrong with you?"
Pan Zhao's body stiffened in the darkness, and he hesitated to make a sound.
Qiao Zhen reached out and touched Pan Zhao's stomach with her soft little hand. Tsk, there were several muscles there. She couldn't help but linger her hand and touched it several times before she stopped.
Qiao Zhen heard Pan Zhao sniffing and realized that things seemed serious. So she got out of bed in the dark and lit a candle. She saw Pan Zhao burying his face in the pillow and his shoulders twitching.
Qiao Zhen quickly asked, "What's wrong?"
Pan Zhao did not answer, but cried even more fiercely.
How long until I'm reborn?
[Rebirth Countdown: Less than two days and seven hours.]
This left Qiao Zhen completely baffled. If he hadn't been reborn and hadn't remembered his past memories, why was he crying so miserably?
"Are you feeling unwell?" Qiao Zhen touched Pan Zhao's forehead, which was slightly hot. "Do you have a fever?"
Pan Zhao remained silent.
Qiao Zhen started to get anxious. Why was he acting like a sulking, spoiled child? "What's wrong with you? Can't you stop making me worry?"
Pan Zhao said in a voice as soft as a whisper, "I...#&%..."
"What?" Qiao Zhen put her ear close to Pan Zhao's face.
Pan Zhao curled up into a ball like a frightened bird. Although his skin was bronze, it was slightly red, giving him a flushed appearance, making him look more like a large red shrimp. "I wet the bed!"
"..."
Based on Pan Zhao's appearance and background, Qiao Zhen concluded that his refusal to touch the original owner, Wu Zhen, was probably because he didn't understand her, and therefore had nothing to do with the respect she had guessed.
