Hearing Lu Chuan say that, Xu Han thought for a moment and then hesitated before asking, "What if I said I wasn't the Xu Han I knew before?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Chuan paused for a moment, then said, "I don't know what Xu Han was like before. I only know that the Xu Han I know has always been like this! No matter what happened between you, I only recognize you! My current wife."
Seeing that Xu Han remained silent, he said softly, "From the moment I brought you back until now, you have always been the one I've been with. So it doesn't matter whether you are the original Xu Han or not. I only recognize the person you are now. This is the person I want to protect and accompany."
Hearing Lu Chuan say that, Xu Han's heart skipped a beat. What did Lu Chuan mean? Was he confessing his feelings to me? Did he like me too?
So he asked, "Do you really like me? Or is it just because I'm a wife you bought?"
"Yes, I like you! When I first saw you, beaten to the point of near death, and looked at me, I felt a pang of heartache. At that time, I only thought about helping you escape your suffering. But as we spent more time together, I discovered that you are very different from other girls. You are stubborn and unwilling to admit defeat, thoughtful and considerate. Sometimes you are very cute, and sometimes you are very gentle! You always attract my attention! Gradually, I fell in love with you!"
"And what about you? Do you like me?" Lu Chuan asked in return.
"I'm a little tempted! After all, you're very good to me! You're very attentive, you pay attention to everything I say, and you always respond to things I say!"
Seeing Xu Han's shy expression, Lu Chuan couldn't help but tease her, "Are you really only a little bit tempted? It seems I still need to work harder!"
Xu Han blushed instantly! Waaah... This is so embarrassing!
Seeing Xu Han blush, Lu Chuan stopped teasing her and said, "If this is what's making you anxious, there's no need for that!" He then got up to clear the dishes.
Xu Han quickly stopped him, saying, "There's one more important thing I haven't told you!" Lu Chuan saw Xu Han's serious expression and sat down again.
"What I'm about to say concerns whether we can safely weather this natural disaster, so be prepared!"
Seeing Lu Chuan nod, Xu Han continued, "Actually, I'm from the 21st century, and my name is Xu Han. One night, while I was sleeping, I inexplicably transmigrated here. When I first transmigrated, I was being beaten by the original owner's grandmother. As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw you, and then you brought me back!"
After Xu Han finished speaking, she looked at Lu Chuan and saw that Lu Chuan only seemed a little confused and did not have any other expression. So she continued, "With me came the house I lived in in my previous life. I can enter the house and take things out of the house! But I saw an envelope in the house that did not belong to me!"
"Upon opening it, I saw it said that there would be three years of drought, one year of snowstorm and flood, followed by three years of war. In other words, for the next seven years, natural disasters and man-made calamities would be constant, and it would be very difficult for us to survive!"
After speaking, she cautiously looked at Lu Chuan, only to see his brows furrowed and his face gloomy. Xu Han was taken aback. Had Lu Chuan been frightened by her and was about to go back on his word, thinking she was a menace and wanting to burn her alive?
Should I run now? If I don't run, I'll surely die! If I run, there might be a sliver of hope for survival! After all, it's better to live a miserable life than to die!
Just as she was about to get up and run away, Lu Chuan noticed her movement and quickly grabbed her arm. Xu Han looked terrified!
Seeing Xu Han's expression, Lu Chuan knew she had misunderstood again, and quickly said, "It's not what you think, please sit down! I was just thinking about how we can get through this famine! Time is running out, we need to start preparing!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Han quickly sat up straight and asked, "You believe me! Aren't you afraid I'm lying to you?"
"Believe me! Why wouldn't I believe you! Didn't you say that if we don't prepare properly, it will be very difficult for us to survive?" He emphasized the word "we" when he said this...
"You said 'us'! Not me, not you, which proves you'll be with me through the famine. You consider me family, so you wouldn't lie to me. Besides, you have no reason to lie to me!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Han was startled and thought, "This man is quite intelligent; he has a strong sense of logic!"
So he spoke again, "Actually, I don't know if this is true or not. After all, nothing has happened. But I feel like this is a hint from the space that gave me after I inexplicably transmigrated here!"
Lu Chuan continued, "Heaven has eyes and couldn't bear to let me not survive in this year of disaster, so it specially sent you to help me! Having you is my blessing."
"Don't worry too much, I've got everything covered! Spring is here, it's the breeding season for animals, so it's not a good time for hunting. Tomorrow I'll go and cover the traps first, and then we'll prepare the things we'll need for the rest of the year together!"
"You can share your plans with us, and we can discuss them together," Lu Chuan said.
“I plan to plant vegetables all over the yard. Once they’re ripe, I can put them in my space. Time is frozen in my space, so they won’t spoil,” Xu Han replied.
Lu Chuan thought the space must be the house that came with him from the previous life.
Then he continued, "Then we'll clear out the wasteland in front of the gate and plant some sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn, beans, and the like. As for planting rice and wheat, that might not be feasible. It's too late to plant wheat, and without manure, rice definitely won't grow well."
"Let's plant more things that are easy to grow! We'll dig up lots of wild vegetables and pick up mushrooms later! We'll bring back anything edible!"
Hearing this, Lu Chuan nodded. "I'll listen to you, we'll do these things together!" He then went to wash the dishes.
With someone sharing these burdens with her, Xu Han's pressure instantly lessened considerably.
Now that we've been honest, there's no need to hide anything anymore. Our quality of life should improve.
Xu Han took out a lot of things from her spatial storage, including the big cotton quilt she used to cover herself with! It was a brand new quilt that her mother had made for her, and she hadn't used it for very long.
Then I took out tissues and strawberries from my storage space. The tissues weren't in their original packaging, so I could keep refreshing. I'll make a cardboard box another day; that would be much easier.
The strawberries were also removed after the strawberry emperor was picked.
After washing the dishes, Lu Chuan noticed some things on the table that evening and couldn't help but feel curious.
Seeing Lu Chuan's appearance, Xu Han quickly explained to him, "This white one is called a napkin. You can use it to wipe your mouth and nose, just like a handkerchief. This is toilet paper. You can use it to wipe your bottom when you go to the toilet. This is your toothbrush for brushing your teeth."
Then she took out toothpaste from her spatial storage and said, "You can brush your teeth with toothpaste. I'll show you how after we finish eating the strawberries."
She took out some strawberries for Lu Chuan to eat, saying, "Try them, they're delicious."
Lu Chuan picked one up and tasted it. Mmm, it was sweet, the kind of thing girls like to eat. He ate one and then stopped.
Seeing that Lu Chuan only ate one and then stopped, Xu Han asked, "What's wrong? Don't you like it? There are others you can try?"
"I don't like these fruits. Just taste them; save them for yourself later! Otherwise, they'll be gone," Lu Chuan said.
