Chapter 16: Traveling through a book VS rebirth?

Wen Ci watched the bathroom door open. There were countless scars on the man's waist and back, even though Wen Ci had experienced the battlefield of the end of the world.

I also find these wounds shocking.

She couldn't help but feel heartbroken. What on earth had Huo Jingyuan been through over the years?

The temperature in the room was higher than that in the bathroom. When Huo Jingyuan felt a little warmth, he thought the water heater had warmed up again. He turned around and met Wen Ci's eyes.

Wen Ci's gaze couldn't help but move downwards, a smile in his eyes.

Huo Jingyuan quickly reached out to close the door. He was in such a hurry when he came in that he forgot to check whether the door was closed properly, causing this mistake.

After taking a shower, he put on a white T-shirt. The water drops at the ends of the man's hair slowly slid down his Adam's apple, and Wen Ci immediately looked down.

The outline of his abdominal muscles can be vaguely seen around his waist.

"Are you going to the mall?" Huo Jingyuan asked.

Wen Ci glanced at the clock in the room. It was almost 7:30. There wasn't much nightlife in the 1980s. "Is there a shopping mall open this late?"

"The Hai City closes at nine in the evening."

Haishi is a provincial capital. Ever since the country encouraged the street stall economy, nightlife has gradually begun to rise, and this point is when it gets busy.

"What are we going to buy at the mall?" Wen Ci asked.

Huo Jingyuan nodded: "My comrades asked me to buy some things to take back."

Soldiers in the Northwest Military Region had few holidays except annual leave and wedding leave. After learning that Huo Jingyuan was going to take wedding leave, many people asked him to bring back some things.

"I want to go shopping, too."

Wen Ci's hair was not completely dry yet. It was extremely difficult to buy a hair dryer in that era, so women could only wipe their hair with a towel after washing it.

Drying hair is a very difficult task and is usually done by blow drying it naturally.

Walking out of the guesthouse, Wen Ci saw many small vendors selling things on the street, including some selling sweet potatoes, and the atmosphere was full of the atmosphere of life.

Unfortunately, the store that Huo Jingyuan's comrades asked him to buy something for was closed early. He frowned and said, "It seems I can't buy it for them."

"Of course you can." Wen Ci blinked. "You can catch the first bus back to the compound tomorrow morning. I'll help them buy things when the store opens."

"No." Huo Jingyuan rejected the proposal.

Wen Ci is new here and doesn't know anyone in the place, so how can he ask her to help buy things?

"But didn't you promise to do the shopping for them?"

"They can understand if there is an emergency."

On the other side, Jiang Ye, who was lying on the sofa in the Beijing compound, suddenly woke up. She looked at the environment around the living room with her eyes wide open. Then she burst into tears.

She was reborn?

In her previous life, she had a boyfriend in high school who was a student at Peking University or Tsinghua University. She heard that her parents wanted to marry her to a man who lived far away in the northwest and whom she had never met before.

She resolutely refused and even revealed her life story without making a sound.

Let the Jiang family’s biological daughter marry a man from the northwest.

But……

Decades later, Jiang Ye suffered a lot of grievances. Her boyfriend always had a white moonlight in his heart, and she had no children due to health reasons.

She was extremely despised by her husband and ended up in a miserable state.

On the other hand, although Wen Ci, who was married in place of the other woman, had no feelings for each other, Wen Ci was still the wife of the chief minister in public.

Jiang Ye narrowed her eyes and lived a new life.

She must change her fate, but she doesn't know what time it is. The door opened at home, and Jiang Ye saw that it was her brother supporting her drunk father.

"Brother, Dad, I want to marry Huo Jingyuan."
