Chapter 50 Chapter 50 and Lovers
After a long, lingering shower, Liu Mianmian found Shen Weizhou was not in the room. She breathed a sigh of relief. The lights in the room were too bright, making her feel invisible. She turned on the desk lamp and turned off the fluorescent lights.
The dim light filled the whole room with an ambiguous atmosphere. Liu Mianmian thought about it and turned on the fluorescent light again.
She climbed onto the bed and covered herself tightly with a thin blanket. After a few seconds, she pulled the blanket away again. Wow, it was too hot.
Staring at the ceiling, Liu Mianmian had to admit that she was a little nervous.
Talking sweet words is one thing, but taking real action is another. Besides, she was a single mother in her previous life and has no experience in this area.
Being without parents but wealthy, it was very risky for her to establish a close relationship. Of course, it was also because she was lazy and didn't expand her social circle, so she hadn't met anyone she truly connected with.
Is Shen Weizhuo the kind of person who can catch her eye?
I guess so.
After all, if the objective conditions in the countryside had not allowed it, they might have already... She didn't hate Shen Weizhuo's touch, on the contrary, she quite liked it.
The door creaked open, and Shen Weizhou, still dripping with sweat, walked into the room. He turned around and closed the door, then paused before the desk. With a click, he turned on the desk lamp. The next moment, the fluorescent light was turned off, and the room returned to dim light.
Liu Mianmian subconsciously closed her eyes, but her hearing became even sharper. She heard footsteps approaching, the rustling of clothes rubbing against each other, and then a warm breath approached. A low, faint laugh sounded in her ear: "Why are you closing your eyes?"
Liu Mianmian opened her eyes and saw the man's beautiful facial features close to her.
In fact, when she saw him for the first time on the wedding night, she thought he was handsome, the kind of handsome that she had seen in the short videos of handsome guys like Shashasha in her previous life. His eyebrows, eyes, and facial features were just what she liked best, the kind of handsome that would make her heart beat faster at the first sight of him.
Even though he was a little fierce at that time, she still thought his cold look was handsome.
Of course, she looks better now with a gentle smile.
Shen Weizhou leaned over and placed a kiss on her lips, then asked, "What are you thinking about?"
What are you thinking about?
Think about it, when life is good, you should enjoy it to the fullest.
Shen Weizhou stood up slightly, and Liu Mianmian couldn't help but raise her hand to pull him. A dark fire suddenly ignited in the man's clear eyes. He stared at her with his dark eyes and said softly, "Hmm?"
Liu Mianmian thought to herself that she liked the voice too.
She raised her head slightly and kissed his chin. He paused slightly, the smile on his lips disappeared, and before she retreated, he lowered his head and kissed her.
A very deep kiss.
Just like the nights in the countryside, every time at this time, he seemed to peel off his gentle disguise, and his actions were domineering and strong, but at that time he would always control himself at the right time, but tonight he obviously didn't have that intention.
Even in this season, his fingertips were still slightly cold, but Liu Mianmian felt that wherever his slightly cold fingers touched, balls of fire appeared. She was roasted by the fire, and then softened like water in his arms.
She couldn't bear it any longer. She pushed him away softly with her palm, but he grabbed her wrist. His sweat dripped onto her face. She looked at him dazedly and unconsciously called out softly, "Shen Weizhou——"
The man paused for a moment, then grabbed her slender waist, which could be held in one hand, and became even more vicious.
As the night deepens, the cicadas' chirping seems very loud, yet very quiet.
Nestled in the man's arms, Liu Mianmian seemed half asleep and asked drowsily, "Shen Weizhou, are you Shen Weizhou?"
Shen Weizhuo lowered his eyes to look at the woman who was curled up in his arms like a kitten. She had a bright and beautiful appearance to begin with, and now her eyebrows and eyes were dyed bright red, like a spring peach after the rain, adding a breathtaking beauty.
He lowered his head and kissed the corner of her eye, his thin lips lingering on that piece of skin for a long time, before he softly hummed: "I am, I always have been."
Liu Mianmian felt that she had not slept so deeply in a long time, like the day after the college entrance examination, when she lay down and slept for the whole day. When she opened her eyes again, it was already the next night.
This time it wasn't that exaggerated. When I opened my eyes again, the sunlight had already poured into the room. Judging from the angle and area of the sunlight, it should have been only an hour or two later than usual.
Anyway, she sleeps in every day, so it's normal for her to sleep a little late one day.
Just as she was thinking about it, Liu Mianmian felt something was wrong. She felt hot on her side and there was a hand across her waist. She turned her head and did not see the familiar neatly folded "tofu blocks", but saw Shen Weizhuo's face.
Shen Weizhuo, who always gets up early every day no matter what time he goes to bed, did not get up today.
It was the first time that Liu Mianmian saw Shen Weizhuo sleeping.
She has very fair skin, a high nose bridge, surprisingly long eyelashes, and thin lips. When she purses her lips, she looks very cold, but very sexy.
"Does it look good?" Shen Weizhuo spoke with his eyes closed, his voice a little hoarse.
Liu Mianmian smiled silently and said deliberately, "It's just okay."
Shen Weizhou opened his eyes, looked at her and smiled: "What should we do?"
Liu Mianmian sighed: "What else can I do? I'm already married, so I'll just make do with it."
Shen Weizhou easily pulled the person in front of him and said in a deep voice, "Just making do?"
Before she could say anything, he rolled over and covered her. Liu Mianmian quickly begged for mercy: "It looks good, especially good-looking. It's not okay, it's not okay at all... Uh-huh, get up, it's already noon."
After a while of arguing, by the time the two finally got up, it was almost lunchtime.
As Liu Mianmian washed up, she murmured in surprise, "Don't you always get up on time? Why are you so late today?" Could you be tired last night? After all, her physical condition was weak, so it seemed she had to continue taking the Chinese medicine.
Shen Weizhou had no idea that he had only slept a little longer. Liu Mianmian had already arranged the Chinese medicine for the next month. He tidied the bedding neatly and replied casually, "It's okay anyway. I'll sleep with you for a while."
In fact, after he fell asleep last night, he had a very long dream, dreaming about what happened after his death in his previous life.
In the dream, my mother was lying in the hospital. Weiyun jumped from the roof of the school building on the eve of the college entrance examination. A series of misfortunes turned my father's hair white overnight. Later, my father simply moved to the research institute and lived in the dormitory. Aunt Liu and her family also moved out. Later, my mother's health deteriorated and she passed away. My father then applied for a transfer to the northwest.
A few years later, Shen Weihong and Jiang Yingxue moved into No. 9 Qiuzhi Lane and raised their children in this yard.
He even saw Liu Mianmian, who was just like the one he remembered from his previous life: mean, selfish, and unruly. She took the money she had looted from his home and went south with Zhu Yongqi. They tried to imitate other people in business, but they lost everything they did, and eventually lost all their money.
One night, after Liu Mianmian fell asleep, Zhu Yongqi drugged her and sold her to a human trafficker he had known for a long time.
Liu Mianmian died in that remote mountain village.
It was clearly a bizarre and illogical dream, but it felt as real as if it had just happened.
After waking up, Shen Weizhuo couldn't fall asleep again for a long time.
He stared at Liu Mianmian who was sleeping soundly in the night, and felt an unspeakable fear in his heart. He knew that she was not that Liu Mianmian, but whenever he thought that she almost went to the south with Zhu Yongqi and almost died in that remote mountain village, he felt cold all over.
Everything in the dream was what actually happened after his death in his previous life.
Although there was no basis for this, Shen Weizhuo vaguely felt that this was the case.
But it was hard to believe. How could someone like Shen Weiyun jump off a building? How could his father move out of the ancestral home left by his grandmother? How could Aunt Liu and her family choose to move out when things were so difficult at home? Even if his father had gone to the northwest, how could he have left the Xu family house for Shen Weihong to live in?
Everything seems to be true and reasonable, but in fact it is full of loopholes.
But it seems that there are some signs.
Before he died in his previous life, he noticed something was wrong, but later everyone died and went to another world, so there was no way to verify what was wrong.
Many things in this life are different from those in the previous life, so naturally it is impossible to verify the doubts from the previous life.
Shen Weizhou made the bed and went to the bathroom to wash up. Liu Mianmian stood in front of the dressing mirror, adjusting her clothes while saying, "Since you don't have anything to do today, why don't you go see Doctor Bai?"
After washing up, Shen Weizhou came out and said, "Didn't we say we were going to the movies today? Let's go next time."
Liu Mianmian glanced at him, hinting: "You, well, you slept for so long, why don't you continue to drink the Chinese medicine?"
Shen Weizhou didn't understand what she meant at first. After thinking about it for a while, he almost laughed out loud at her: "Do you think I need to take Chinese medicine?"
Liu Mianmian thought that men generally don't want to face up to their shortcomings in this area, so she decided to be more tactful: "It's not what I think, it's what the doctor thinks. We have to listen to the doctor."
“…”
Shen Weizhuo looked at her deeply, said nothing, turned around and walked out.
Even though he didn't say anything, Liu Mianmian inexplicably felt that his last look was very dangerous.
As expected, Aunt Liu was surprised that Shen Weizhuo got up so late. She kept asking him if he was feeling unwell and whether he wanted to go to the hospital to get some medicine. Liu Mianmian was very happy and thought to herself that it's not just the doctor who thinks you need to take medicine. Look, Aunt Liu also thinks you need to take medicine.
Shen Weizhou glanced at her helplessly and changed the subject, saying, "Mianmian and I are going to the movies tonight and won't be home for dinner."
Aunt Liu's attention was diverted. "There are a lot of restaurants opening outside. I heard there's one next to the cinema that has beautiful decor and delicious food. You can try it later."
After a long chat, he told Liu Mianmian, "Your Uncle Wang and I packed up the radish strips this morning. Wow, as soon as I told the neighbors, we sold six cans right away. As for Sister Liu, I'll send some to her tomorrow morning. She's quite straightforward, so I'm sure she'll agree."
Liu Mianmian smiled and said, "Then I'll give you ten cents for every can you sell."
Aunt Liu quickly shook her head: "No, no, I just talk and run errands, oh my, where can I get paid?"
Liu Mianmian: "You said it yourself, you spoke and ran around, and put in the work, shouldn't you deserve this money? Besides, it's not much, only ten cents, I hope you don't mind it being too little."
Aunt Liu knew Liu Mianmian's temper, so she didn't refuse. "One cent is not a small amount. I didn't put in much effort, but I earned sixty cents. It's much more than what they make by pasting matchboxes."
A ceramic jar of radish strips can hold seventy or eighty cans. If she sells them all, she can get seven or eight dollars.
Aunt Liu suddenly became full of energy. She reminded Shen Weizhuo again, asking him to make time to go to the hospital in the next two days, and then she left in a hurry.
She had to go back to her neighbors to sell her products.
Having eaten late and skipping lunch, Liu Mianmian took a nap in the afternoon. She half-awake and heard thunder rumbling outside. When she woke up, she saw the ground in the yard was wet. The rain had stopped, and the air felt clean and refreshing, as if it had been washed clean.
Shen Weizhou came out of the study and asked her, "Going out early?"
If the weather was hot, I would go out later, but it just rained today and the wind brought a rare coolness, so it’s not bad to go out earlier.
Shen Weizhou pushed a 28-inch bicycle from the corner. Liu Mianmian was stunned for a moment and asked, "Shall we ride our bicycles over there?"
"The bus smells terrible in the summer. It's not sunny, so it won't be hot to ride there by bike." Shen Weizhou pushed his bike to the gate and turned to look at Liu Mianmian. "What are you standing there for? Let's go."
Liu Mianmian hesitated for a moment, then asked with a stiff upper lip: "Can you ride a bike?"
Everyone knows that you shouldn't ask a man if he's capable, especially if he's clearly avoiding medical treatment and even reluctant to take Chinese medicine. But Liu Mianmian was indeed worried about whether he could ride a bike in his current state. And not just by himself, he also had to take her with him.
Liu Mianmian wanted to say that she would ride her bike to take him with her, but she thought that it was impossible. He looked thin, but he was tall, at least 130 feet tall, and she couldn't ride him.
Shen Weizhou laughed out of anger and asked, "Is it my performance last night that made you think I'm not strong enough?"
Recalling last night, Liu Mianmian's cheeks flushed slightly and she said, "That's not the case." Anyway, when she was exhausted, he still looked like that.
Shen Weizhou carried the car out of the courtyard and said, "Let's go."
He supported himself with his feet on the ground, waited until she was firmly seated, then gently pushed off with his foot. The car moved very steadily and quickly through the alley.
He rode a bicycle at lightning speed.
When they met a neighbor in the alley, Liu Mianmian heard him say, "Oh, why is Weizhou riding a bike today?", but she couldn't hear anything else after that.
In order to avoid being thrown out of the car, Liu Mianmian had to grab Shen Weizhuo's shirt tightly, wrinkling it, and then she simply hugged his waist out of guilt.
Shen Weizhou paused for a moment, then cleared his throat and said, "It's not safe up ahead. Please sit still."
Liu Mianmian simply put her head on his back: "Yeah."
This feeling was very new to her, traveling far away in a time and space she had never expected, with a person she had never expected.
Everything around, the clear sky after the rain, the wet streets, the houses on both sides of the road that are much lower than the future, and the people hurrying on the road, all look so lovely.
She suddenly remembered the question she had asked in her confusion last night. She had forgotten it originally, but now she remembered it clearly. Shen Weizhou answered in her ear: "I am, I have always been."
Liu Mianmian didn't know why she asked this question at that time, but at this moment, she felt that none of this mattered anymore.
Do happy things with your lover, especially since this era is so lovely.
