Chapter 01 Chapter 1
...
Jia Yourui woke up from her daze, and the scene in front of her made her confused.
Where is this?
What an old-fashioned house.
She opened her confused eyes, with a confused red halo at the corners of her eyes.
She thought, why does it feel a little familiar?
Jia Yourui lowered her head and saw a bright red cotton quilt, rustic big red flowers and big green leaves... The vague memories overlapped, and she widened her eyes in disbelief.
Looking up, Jia Yourui saw a large black wooden cabinet with a half-length mirror embedded on the right door. It was a mud house with newspapers covering the walls. A desk was placed next to the wardrobe as a simple dressing table with a mirror, rouge and vanishing cream on it... These things, which were very vague in her memory, now appeared clearly in front of her.
She loved beauty since she was a child. There were two mirrors of different sizes in one room.
Isn't this the room she lived in with Jia Guoye when she was young?
This thought shocked Jia Yourui and her heartbeat accelerated. She pinched herself hard!
Hiss, it really hurts.
...
When Jia Guoye entered the room, he saw this scene:
Jia Yourui was wearing a short-sleeved loose dress, half sitting up on the bed with her thin white arms, her long black hair draped to her waist, she was looking ahead, her lips slightly parted, her eyes confused, as if she was in trouble.
He asked, "Do you want to eat?"
Jia Yourui came back to her senses when she heard the voice, and looked over. The person standing by the door was actually Jia Guoye?
...
Seeing her staring at him without saying a word, Jia Guoye thought he was blinding her, so he left silently as usual.
As soon as he took a step back, Jia Yourui's eyes turned red.
She couldn't believe it: "Jia Guoye?" Her voice trembled slightly.
Jia Guoye froze.
"Guoye..."
Her voice was low, with a trailing tone, pitiful.
......
Jia Guoye stood there like a wooden man, his mind was blank, he turned around to look at her.
"What's wrong?" he asked in a low voice.
Jia Yourui stepped on the ground barefoot, like a little madman with disheveled hair, and rushed to him in a hurry.
He took two steps forward and let Jia Yourui fall into his arms.
Jia Yourui rested her chin on his shoulder, her soft face pressed against his skin, occasionally rubbing gently.
Jia Yourui burst into tears.
Jia Guoye hugged her, full of fragrance and softness.
...
He didn't know why the little girl was so abnormal today. The proud little fox who used to disdain to even look at him, now actually depends on him wholeheartedly.
Although the weather was not cold, he was still worried that she would catch a cold if she walked barefoot on the ground. After a little hesitation, he boldly picked up the crying girl. She
was a small ball, and she felt very soft in his arms.
Jia Yourui did not resist at all, and was as obedient as a little beast, allowing him to hold her and sit on the bed.
A dark thought arose in Jia Guo's mind, could this moment last a little longer? The
cold Jia Yourui, the Jia Yourui who smiled at others and ignored him, was gone. There was only the Jia Yourui who was crying in his arms, clutching his collar.
...
After crying bitterly, Jia Yourui's mood finally stabilized a little.
She raised her head, holding back tears, and explained pitifully with sobs: "I just had a nightmare."
After that, Jia Yourui immediately lowered her head.
Looking down at her from his line of sight, his heart was warmed, and he felt that she was obedient, pitiful, and lovable.
She had no intention of leaving, so how could Jia Guoye bear to let her go?
"Yeah." He said softly, "Dreams are always the opposite, don't be afraid."
Jia Guoye wanted to pat her back and soothe her emotions.
But his hand hesitated in the air for a moment, and still let it go.
He knew she didn't like him touching her.
"Yeah, it's all fake."
Jia Yourui said with a twitch.
She curled up in Jia Guoye's arms, her emotions were too complicated, and she didn't know what to say. Jia Guoye didn't say anything, just held her like this.
Now being able to hold her was a scene that could only appear in dreams. Jia Guoye's heart was beating fast, but his face did not show the surging emotions.
The two of them stayed together quietly like this.
...
Finally, Jia Yourui whispered, "Put me down."
Jia Guoye was reluctant, but he still carefully put her down and sat her on the bed.
He said, "I'll get you a basin of water to wash your feet." Then he turned and went out.
...
Jia Guoye put a wooden basin filled with half a basin of warm water next to the bed.
Jia Yourui's face was still covered with crystal clear tears, which set off her little pink face, making her look extremely delicate and beautiful, pitiful and lovable.
She would use her big eyes filled with tears to watch you coming and going. Her two little feet were covered with a little dust, which was more conspicuous against the pink and white color.
Jia Guoye did not stop. He walked out of the room quickly, his heart beating violently.
...
Jia Guoye scooped a bucket of cold water, held the water in both hands and splashed it heavily on his face. The water drops slid across his high brow bone, straight nose, and fell along the ugly large uneven red scar on his face.
He stood quietly, calmed down for a while, and finally calmed down, and walked into the kitchen with the bucket.
First light the fire, then cut the potatoes.
Jia Guoye was absent-minded, and his hands moved completely naturally.
She hasn't answered whether she wants to have lunch yet, should I ask again?
I want to see her again.
Just as Jia Guoye was about to put down the knife, a voice in his heart rang out: Stop it, don't you know what you are planning?
...
When he was fifteen, his face was destroyed and his feet were injured in a fire.
The injuries on his feet were minor and could be covered up by slightly changing his shoes; but the ugly scars on his face could not be covered up.
And his young wife was known to everyone in the area for her beauty.
Jia Yourui has been a beauty since she was a child, with a good appearance that no one has ever seen before. She
has red lips and a pink face, big and bright eyes, delicate eyebrows, a small and delicate nose, and pink and flawless cheeks.
Some people were looking forward to it, wondering how beautiful this girl would be when she grew up; others looked at her coldly, thinking that the girl was pretty when she was young, but she would change when she grew up. How could flowers grow in saline soil?
...
But almost no one thought that Jia Yourui, who had been praised for her beauty since she was a
child, would grow more and more beautiful despite people's expectations or cold looks. When she grew up, her complexion was so fresh and refined that it would make people's hearts flutter at a glance.
Jia Yourui's appearance was so outstanding that she would stand out wherever she went. Her parents were only slightly more decent than ordinary people, and her brothers and sisters looked very much like them.
Only she looked very different from the rest of the family.
In the past, some people spread rumors that this girl looked like a demon, and that she was either not the biological daughter of Jia Kaiqian and Lin Fei, or that she was a demon who was reincarnated to stir up trouble in the human world.
Some people said this to Jia Yourui in person with ill intentions. She listened blankly and went back to cry secretly.
At night, Lin Fei found that her lively and well-behaved youngest daughter buried her head in the quilt and sobbed softly. She was shocked and quickly took her in her arms and coaxed her softly...
When she asked the reason, Lin Fei was so angry that her nose was about to smoke. Someone actually made up such a story about her daughter.
Jia Kaiqian, with his violent temper, how could he tolerate his most beloved youngest daughter being talked about like this? Without saying a word, he found the person who spread the rumor, and beat him with a stick, without caring about the friendship they once had with the same village.
With such a tough attitude, naturally no one dared to gossip anymore.
Later, the rumor that she was a reincarnated fairy was broken.
Jia Yourui grew up under the attention of the villagers, and her character is obvious to everyone.
This delicate and beautiful girl has been spoiled since she was a child, and has never suffered any hardship. She has a very pure personality. She blushes when she is teased, and calls people "brother, sister, uncle, aunt, and aunt" with a sweet voice. She doesn't get angry even if you joke with her.
How can this be a fairy? She is clearly a fairy.
Jia Yourui's reputation spread far and wide, and everyone couldn't help but think about how lively it would be when she chose a husband.
...
Who would have thought that an accident happened, and this darling girl, who was the center of attention, fell into the hands of a "poor, lame, and ugly" man who was driven out of the house by his father and brother.
It was really a cause for sighing, and people in and outside the village kept talking about
it. How did people outside mock him?
"A stupid man gets a good wife, and a pretty wife accompanies a stupid husband."
...(A little bit of the past life)
Jia Yourui is not young anymore, and she got divorced in the past two years.
Her husband, Chen Bingwen, is the vice president of a key university. He is knowledgeable and well-mannered. Many people don't understand why he brought a wife back after going to the countryside.
The breathtaking beauty of her youth no longer had the fatal attraction, and she was not gentle and considerate, and spoke very little. No matter who saw it, she and Chen Bingwen would have a miserable life after the divorce.
Everyone agreed that there was no one else in the world as good as Professor Chen, regardless of her eccentric personality and rural origin.
In the luxurious five-star hotel in this city, several ladies sat in the cafe, sipping the mellow liquid ground from high-end coffee beans elegantly, and excitedly discussing the funny things that happened in the circle recently:
"Mrs. Chen really makes people feel a little sympathetic. She will probably have to go back to her hometown in a few days."
"Yeah, if she had lived in the countryside all her life, it would be fine. But she chose to come to a big city like ours to see the world, and then go back in disgrace. The psychological gap would be killing her..."
"After getting off the train, how does she go back? Without a car, she can only take a tricycle?"
"Hahahahahaha."
......
All the harsh taunts about her were heard clearly by Jia Yourui who was standing behind the curtain, but she didn't care about others at this moment. She was nestled in Jia Guoye's arms. In the narrow and dark environment, the tall man's presence was too strong.
The two of them were originally arguing here. To be specific, she was losing her temper, holding her hands, and ignoring people with a cold face.
She thought that her request to go out was not allowed by Jia Guoye, and he always asked someone to follow her.
Jia Guoye always accommodated her, coaxing her in a soft voice, and "by the way" put his hand on her shoulder and rubbed her shoulder gently.
Suddenly someone came over, and Jia Yourui's first reaction was to take Jia Guoye to hide.
It was really inexplicable. She didn't want others to see her sitting with the owner of the hotel. It was as if no one knew that
many years ago, she had abandoned Jia Guoye and grabbed Chen Bingwen's hand as he led her out of the village.
