Chapter 107 No Divorce, Let's Date
Jiang Wan and Zhou Chong exchanged a deep look, their hearts pounding.
Everything around her was telling her one fact.
She's back.
So, according to the original plan, she and Zhou Chong were supposed to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a divorce today after they got up.
But how could she bear to get a divorce now?
She hadn't gone to university with Zhou Chong, who was eighteen years old, yet, hadn't confessed her feelings to him, and hadn't started dating him.
There are still so many things left undone; their brand new future has only just begun.
Why do we have to face the hurdle of divorce again?
Jiang Wan bit her lip, her emotions a jumble of thoughts. Before she could speak, she unconsciously swallowed, "Um, could we...?"
She took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and finally said, "Can we... not get a divorce?"
After he finished speaking, the room was silent for a moment.
It was so quiet that you could almost hear your own breathing.
Jiang Wan closed her eyes, not daring to look at Zhou Chong's reaction, and also afraid of hearing an answer she didn't want to hear.
My heart sank lower and lower with each second of waiting.
Just as I was about to fall to the bottom of the valley, I faintly heard a breathing sound that didn't belong to me. It was steady and light, accompanied by a soft laugh.
The familiar scent of wormwood enveloped her.
Jiang Wan was stunned for a moment, then slowly opened her eyes and looked at the man who had pulled her into his arms.
Those deep, dark eyes stared at him, twinkling like stars in the darkness, overflowing with an obvious smile.
At that moment, Jiang Wan felt a strange sense of familiarity.
Zhou Chong put one arm around her, raised the other hand, smiled and ruffled her hair, "Of course we won't get a divorce, we'll start dating again."
"...Love?" Jiang Wan repeated blankly.
"Hmm." Zhou Chong lowered his hands, tightened his arms, and held her firmly in his embrace. He rested his chin on Jiang Wan's neck and whispered in her ear, "We both got into Tsinghua University. Don't you want to date me?"
Jiang Wan was stunned.
National Tsing Hua University……
This was a promise between her and Zhou Chong, who was eighteen years old.
How could this be...?
“But I want to.” Zhou Chong turned his face and gently kissed the necklace around her neck. “Wanwan, I like you, I like you a lot, I like you a lot.”
Jiang Wan's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
That clear, deep voice, which she had previously found indifferent, was now repeating his love for her in a familiar tone.
The thought in Jiang Wan's mind grew stronger.
Could it be that Zhou Chong and she went back to the past together, and now they've come back together?
The light kiss was like a feather brushing against her neck, and the cool touch sent a shiver through Jiang Wan's mind. Something suddenly flashed through her mind.
She lowered her head, revealing a thin platinum necklace draped over her collarbone, the pendant tucked into the collar of her pajamas.
Jiang Wan took out the pendant and held it in her palm.
A small moon studded with diamonds.
The moon necklace was the one Zhou Chong personally put on her in the corridor outside the KTV room the night before she returned.
She clutched the necklace, looked up, and met Zhou Chong's smiling eyes. A sudden lump formed in her throat. "Zhou Chong, we..."
The sound stopped there, and Jiang Wan choked up, unable to speak.
Recalling everything that happened after she traveled back in time, all of which she experienced with Zhou Chong when he was twenty-eight, Jiang Wan didn't know how to describe her complicated feelings.
"Yes, us." Zhou Chong hugged her tightly, lowered his head, and gently kissed away the moisture from the corner of her eyes. Then, he slowly moved down and pressed his lips to her trembling lips.
The temperature on her lips gradually rose, and Jiang Wan was enveloped by the warm and moist sensation. She couldn't help but raise her arms and hug Zhou Chong's neck.
He tilted his head back, responded, and gave her a deep kiss.
A kiss sealed the seal.
There's no need to ask or say anything more; the time we spent together is the best answer.
I love you, from the past to the future.
-
A long-awaited kiss is unforgettable.
The two were reluctant to part.
Jiang Wan was immersed in this particularly long and tender moment, and softly fell into Zhou Chong's arms. Her back was supported by Zhou Chong's large hands, and she slowly lay down along the headboard.
Her legs were hooked and laid flat, and the passionate kisses never stopped.
Having not been intimate for a long time, Jiang Wan's body was particularly sensitive. Just this one lingering kiss made her head spin, as if she were lacking oxygen.
In the hazy distance, a cell phone suddenly rang.
Jiang Wan was suddenly pulled back to her senses, remembering that she had sat up to get her phone.
Before he could even glance at his phone, he lay down again.
The phone kept ringing. Jiang Wan nudged Zhou Chong's shoulder, brushed against his lips, and mumbled, "The phone...it's mine..."
Zhou Chong frowned slightly, reluctantly kissed her lips, then straightened up and took her phone from the bedside table.
Jiang Wan took the phone and saw that it was a landline number with the contact name "Home".
It's the landline number for Yujing No. 1 Villa. At this time, it must be her mother calling.
However, why didn't Ms. Shan Tong call her using her mobile phone?
The thought of doubt flashed through her mind for only a moment before Jiang Wan answered the phone.
Perhaps it was because I didn't have my phone with me, and it was more convenient to use the landline while sitting in the living room.
"Hello, Mom?"
A kind laugh came from the other end of the phone, "Wanwan, this is Grandma."
Grandma?!
Jiang Wan's pupils suddenly contracted.
Grandma passed away six months ago, didn't she?
How could I possibly call her now?
Was she hallucinating?
But the voice on the other end of the phone really sounded like Grandma's...
Seeing her dazed expression, Zhou Chong gently grasped her shoulders and rubbed her face. "What's wrong?"
Jiang Wan snapped out of her daze, blinked in disbelief, looked up at Zhou Chong, and pointed to the phone beside her ear, "It's Grandma..."
Zhou Chong's face also showed obvious astonishment.
Upon hearing Jiang Wan speak, the voice on the other end of the phone rang out again, "Yes, it's Grandma."
Jiang Wan was now certain she wasn't hallucinating. She managed to calm herself and softly called out into the phone, "Grandma?"
"Yes," Grandma Jiang responded, then said, "Grandma called to ask what time you and Xiao Zhou will be back today?"
Jiang Wan was stunned, completely bewildered, "...Come back?"
"Isn't today your wedding anniversary with Xiao Zhou? You two agreed yesterday to come home for lunch together," Grandma Jiang urged. "Aunt Qiao has prepared a table full of delicious food, just waiting for you."
Jiang Wan replied blankly, "Okay, we...we'll be back soon."
"Okay, then I'll have Aunt Qiao prepare all the dishes." Grandma Jiang said happily and hung up the phone.
Jiang Wan slowly lowered her hand, looking at the black screen of her phone, still somewhat incredulous.
Grandma is still alive, and she sounds very energetic.
Could it be that some things happened after she and Zhou Chong traveled back in time, causing the changes that followed?
But how exactly did this happen?
After all, birth, aging, illness, and death follow their own natural laws, which cannot be artificially intervened in. She didn't do anything particularly special, except…
Jiang Wan paused, as if she had realized something.
On her second eighteenth birthday, she made several wishes, one of which was to pray that her grandmother would be healthy and live a long life.
Because this is something that even if she went back in time, she couldn't change through her efforts.
Therefore, she entrusted her hopes to a vague wish.
Unexpectedly, it actually came true.
Jiang Wan was so excited she almost cried.
“Zhou Chong, my wish has come true!” Jiang Wan turned around and grabbed Zhou Chong’s hand, her eyes filled with tears. “Grandma, Grandma is still alive. She told us to come home for lunch to celebrate our wedding anniversary.”
Zhou Chong had just heard the gist of it. After his initial shock, through Jiang Wan's repeated conversations, he had come to believe the truth of the matter.
He smiled and gently wiped away the tears from Jiang Wan's eyes. "Then let's hurry up and go back to see Grandma."
"Okay." Jiang Wan nodded hurriedly and jumped out of bed. "I'll go wash up first, you go change your clothes."
Zhou Chong turned and got out of bed, helped Jiang Wan by the waist, and sat her down on the edge of the bed. Then he bent down to pick up the slippers on the carpet. "Don't rush."
Jiang Wan sat on the edge of the bed, watching Zhou Chong squat down, help her put on slippers, and then hold her ankles to put her feet firmly on the ground.
My heart is filled with tenderness.
very nice.
