"Today is a warning to you, and also a reminder not to do immoral things in the name of love and destroy other people's families. It is not something to be proud of."
Xia Lan glanced coldly at Luo Tianming, then took Qin Yu's hand and prepared to leave.
Suddenly, the onlookers erupted in thunderous applause.
"This woman's words are absolutely right!!!"
"That's great! You've said exactly what I've been thinking!"
"People nowadays always talk about freedom in love, but they have no idea what responsibility is. This woman's summary is spot on!"
"Marriage is a responsibility. What kind of love justifies abandoning your wife to be with another woman? That's destroying someone else's family! Well said! Let those who claim love is the ultimate sovereign listen to this!"
Many people clapped enthusiastically.
As Xia Lan listened to their words, their reactions became even more intense, as if they deeply empathized with her, especially when the topic of freedom in love came up.
It seems that most of them have encountered something like this before.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be such a strong resentment.
Xia Lan nodded to everyone with Qin Yu, and then left amidst applause.
"I want to kiss you." Qin Yu led Xia Lan home, his calm face uttering words that made people blush.
Xia Lan glanced at Qin Yu.
"You promised you wouldn't touch me for a week."
"..."
A hint of annoyance flashed in Qin Yu's eyes.
Back home, Qin Yu went to the kitchen to cook for Xia Lan, while Xia Lan lay on the bed, too tired to move after raising her arms for so long.
As soon as Qin Yu finished cooking and entered the room, he saw Xia Lan asleep on the bed.
"Wife, Lanlan, get up. Eat your breakfast before you go back to sleep." Qin Yu said, feeling exhausted as he looked at Xia Lan.
“…Hmm.” Xia Lan rubbed her eyes and sat up, yawning blankly.
Qin Yu looked at her still bewildered and dazed face; that blank and dazed look was incredibly cute.
I want to kiss you.
Unfortunately, my wife won't give it to me.
Why.
Qin Yu carried Xia Lan to the bathroom, and Xia Lan instantly perked up after being stimulated by the cold water.
"Awake? If you're awake, let's eat! It won't taste good if it gets cold!" Qin Yu said with a smile, taking Xia Lan's hand and leading her to the courtyard to eat.
Xia Lan ate the vegetables with relish. Although they were just ordinary vegetables, Xia Lan always felt that they tasted like delicacies.
He looked very happy.
Qin Yu watched Xia Lan finish eating before finishing his own meal.
After dinner, Qin Yu cleaned up the dishes and sat with Xia Lan in the courtyard watching the sunset.
"Lanlan," Qin Yu called out.
"What's wrong, Brother Yu?" Xia Lan sat in Qin Yu's lap, watching the sunset with him. The time was beautiful, and she felt especially happy.
"Meng Jianguo... he arranged a job for me in the transportation team," Qin Yu said slowly. "Do you think I should accept it?"
"Working in the transport team? Wouldn't that be a huge boost for you?" Xia Lan asked Qin Yu with a smile.
Qin Yu nodded. It would indeed be of great help to him, but he had refused the job because he didn't want to leave Xia Lan.
"Are you worried about me?" Seeing Qin Yu's indifferent reaction, Xia Lan had a sudden inspiration and sat up.
"..." Qin Yu remained silent, afraid that Xia Lan would be angry.
But his silence was the most obvious answer.
“If I wasn’t by your side, I wouldn’t know what happened to you, like last time.” Qin Yu nodded, admitting that Xia Lan was indeed his concern.
Xia Lan also felt that she had really gotten lucky last time, but she really didn't want Qin Yu to lose such a good job because of her.
In those days, being a transport crew was a very respectable job.
“I think you should accept this job! It’s a good thing for you,” Xia Lan said earnestly.
"We're not in the village now, so I don't think we'll be in any danger! I've been through this before, God won't be so cruel to me!"
Qin Yu looked at Xia Lan silently, unconvinced by her reasoning.
“Brother Yu…” Xia Lan looked at Qin Yu. It would be a lie to say she wasn’t afraid, and she couldn’t guarantee that she wouldn’t encounter danger in the future.
But there's really no way to guarantee this kind of thing, is there?
"Xia Lan, you are the one I value most. Other things are just icing on the cake if they exist, and they won't stop me if they don't!" Qin Yu gently hugged Xia Lan, resting his chin on her shoulder.
"The reason I didn't want the transport team job was because I didn't want to leave you."
"I didn't want to before, and I don't want to now."
Xia Lan leaned against Qin Yu's chest, feeling his heartbeat, the vibrations of his chest, and... his love.
I can't express how I feel right now—moved, happy, joyful...
"Am I worthy of you doing this for me?" It was actually his kindness to her that made her doubt herself.
Did she deserve this treatment? He did it all for her...
"You deserve it." Qin Yu kissed Xia Lan's cheek.
"I've lived for twenty years, and for the first ten or so, I've been working hard for others. I've never worked hard for myself. It wasn't until you appeared in my life that I felt a spark of impulse, a impulse for myself." Qin Yu watched the sunset sink below the horizon and the stars gradually begin to twinkle in the night sky.
Xia Lan's appearance was like a star appearing in his darkness.
From simply appearing to spreading throughout the entire starry sky.
Qin Yu couldn't articulate any romantic phrases, but he knew that Xia Lan was the only thing he possessed, the only thing that truly belonged to him.
She is his.
"Don't underestimate yourself. You are more important to me than you can imagine." Qin Yu's words brought tears to Xia Lan's eyes.
Having lived two lives, this was the first time a man had told her so bluntly that she was important.
“You are also very important to me…” Xia Lan turned around and hugged Qin Yu, choking back tears.
“But I still hope you go to the transport team,” Xia Lan said firmly, leaning on Qin Yu’s shoulder.
"Why?" Qin Yu didn't understand.
Why do we still want him to go to the transport team?
“Because you deserve this job, and I want to see you shine,” Xia Lan said earnestly. “Working in a movie theater, in my opinion, is like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.”
"You're wasting your talents. This job is nice and easy, but it's not good enough for you."
"How come I didn't know you were so capable in your eyes?" Qin Yu curled his lips. No man dislikes hearing such words, especially when they come from the mouth of the woman he loves.
This made it even harder for Qin Yu to refuse.
"In my heart, you are the best man! The most responsible man! The bravest man! And my most tender lover!"
The corners of his mouth, which he had pressed down, couldn't help but turn up in a smile.
What man could resist the sweet words of a woman he loves saying she adores him?
"How can you talk so much with that little mouth of yours! It's like it's been mixed with honey."
Qin Yu grabbed Xia Lan's chin.
He couldn't help but kiss her.
