Ning Yuan was probably still half asleep, or perhaps she was just stunned by the fright.
As she inhaled the rich minty scent swirling around her nose, she suddenly, almost as if possessed, stuck out her little tongue and licked the thin lips pressed against her own.
"It's so cool, where did this mint come from..."
Ning Yuan murmured something.
Rong Zhaonan froze for a long time, then suddenly leaned back and stared at Ning Yuan with a strange expression for a long time.
Then he turned around and disappeared quickly.
He turned around so fast that the cold wind he brought out hit Ning Yuan's face.
Ning Yuan jolted awake, completely snapping back to reality: "..."
She stood there stunned for a moment before realizing what she had just done in her daze—
Ahhhhhh—she actually kissed Boss Rong on the lips!
Hmm, she even licked...licked someone's lips, was that indecent?!
What's wrong with her?! What kind of psychopath is she? Why is she having this brain fart, thinking about food the moment she opens her mouth?!
Ning Yuan covered her face, instantly collapsed onto the bed, and burrowed back under the covers, feeling a strange sense that she had defiled something that didn't belong to her!
She was completely devastated, wishing she could turn into dust and be blown away by the wind, disappearing into the wind.
But why is my heart beating so fast?
She's a middle-aged woman in her fifties who was reborn, so how did she end up back in her twenties? It's like...
I'm getting worse as I get older!
...
Rong Zhaonan, who rushed out the door in a hurry, also looked unwell, and his breathing became rapid.
He could almost hear the surging blood and his heartbeat in his veins.
Her fair face alternated between pale and red.
"Damn it!" He instinctively raised his hand and pressed the back of his hand hard and fiercely against his mouth.
It was as if this could block the lingering taste of the girl's soft lips on my lips.
The taste and sensation seemed to invade every inch of his senses; it was an experience he had never had before.
Only his heart was still pounding wildly, just like when he first went on a mission and first shot through the enemy's brain.
It was hard to describe the feeling—dizziness, or perhaps a strange excitement.
Rong Zhaonan's fair and handsome face flushed with an embarrassment he himself was unaware of—
Damn it! Damn long-haired rabbit, is it pretending to be weak to take advantage of others?!
As a staunch believer in Marxism, how can I be easily attacked by sugar-coated bullets of unknown origin!
Rong Zhaonan adjusted the large black-rimmed glasses on his nose, picked up a big brush, and strode into the cowshed to begin—brushing the cows!
As Ning Yuan carried her hoe out, she could still hear the cows in the cowshed mooing loudly as they were being brushed!
Feeling guilty, she bowed low, shrank her head, and quickly ran away.
She was listless all day.
Even when she passed through the educated youth settlement, she encountered Tang Zhenzhen, Huang Xuehong, and a few others who mocked and ridiculed her.
They boasted that they had obtained their quotas and were about to return to the city, while Ning Yuan was only fit to be a village woman in the countryside for the rest of her life.
Ning Yuan ignored them all.
Not to mention that everything has been reformed and opened up, soon all the educated youth will be able to return to the city. Decades later, in many places, rural household registration will be more valuable than urban household registration.
All day long, she only focused on her studies when she was in class with Professor Tang, frantically writing test papers and even begging Professor Tang to give her extra questions.
This left Grandpa Tang and Grandma Xia completely baffled. What was wrong with this girl? Normally, she would frown if she had to do an extra set of test papers.
It was already ten o'clock when Grandma Xia kicked her out the door and told her to hurry back to the cowshed.
Ning Yuan reluctantly left the courtyard, secretly hoping that when she returned, Boss Rong would already be asleep.
Otherwise, she wouldn't know how to face him...
"Why are you only coming out at this hour?" A clear, cold, and husky voice suddenly rang out.
Ning Yuan was startled and looked up at a tall shadow under a tree outside the house. Rong Zhaonan only came out when he saw her.
Seeing this, she became so nervous that she almost slurred, "I...I...I did a little too much on my test today."
She's getting sillier and sillier; she's forgotten that Rong Zhaonan usually picks her up from get out of class after nine o'clock, so she never goes to bed early.
Rong Zhaonan pushed up his black-rimmed glasses: "Okay, let's go."
Seeing Ning Yuan's frightened appearance, Rong Zhaonan's mood, which had been bothering him all day, inexplicably eased a little.
It turns out he wasn't the only one tossing and turning at night, feeling gloomy.
The two walked side by side on the path.
One long shadow and one short shadow walked together on the ground under the moonlight, and occasionally their shadows would overlap.
What usually seems like an ordinary scene now looks like a pair.
Rong Zhaonan glanced at her and cleared his throat: "About this morning..."
"I won't take it to heart. It was just an accident. Comrade Rong Zhaonan, you don't need to worry about it either," Ning Yuan immediately raised her hand and said.
She knew she had made a mistake; after all, Boss Rong was going to have a proper wife in the future.
Rong Zhaonan: "..."
What does it mean that this woman acts like she knows the answer and tries to answer it first?
She looked like she was afraid he might have some thoughts about her.
“Heh…” Rong Zhaonan gave a cold smirk.
He stopped in his tracks, his gaze darkening: "You're quite open-minded, aren't you? You've picked up a lot of the frivolous ways of the Western bourgeoisie."
Ning Yuan stiffened involuntarily under his cold, almost hostile gaze: "I just..."
But what was it? For a moment, she opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything.
What was she going to say? That she knew he and she were worlds apart, and that he would have a wonderful marriage and a bright future?
Seeing her helpless expression, Rong Zhaonan noticed the panic in her beautiful eyes.
He suddenly turned around, his back to her, and said sarcastically, "Alright, that's what I wanted to say too. Since you can let it go, then it doesn't matter."
At that moment, he thought that perhaps Ning Yuan really wasn't a spy or an enemy sent to get close to him.
Otherwise, she could have taken the opportunity to get closer to him and obtain even more.
If she has no problems and is just an ordinary person, then he can only guess, like Old Tang, that she might have someone else in her heart.
Therefore, in an era where divorce damages a woman's reputation, she was unwilling to have anything to do with him.
Rong Zhaonan excelled in everything from a young age and was an extremely arrogant prodigy. In recent years, however, he has been trampled on and driven into the mud, which has shattered his arrogance and taught him to hide it.
But deep down he was still proud. If she could be indifferent, then he, a grown man, had no need to whine and be unable to let go.
Just consider it as being bitten by a dog that acted like a hooligan!
Rong Zhaonan strode forward expressionlessly.
The scoundrel dog (Ning Yuan): "..."
Ning Yuan looked at Rong Zhaonan's back with some helplessness. She wasn't really oblivious; of course, she could tell that Rong Zhaonan was unhappy.
She was reborn into this world only to change her own destiny, and never thought of stealing other people's marriage and glory.
Therefore, she could only endure Rong Zhaonan's sarcasm about her being frivolous.
Ning Yuan felt inexplicably suffocated. She didn't know, and dared not know, what he was thinking.
He was someone she could never reach.
In her past life, she was timid and weak, and owed him an eye. In this life, she only wants to see him fly high, unharmed.
He was like a gyrfalcon soaring through the sky, while she was just an ordinary little fish in the river...
They will soon be people from two different worlds...
She lowered her long eyelashes, and her soft sigh faded into the wilderness with the night wind.
