Time Travel: My Comfortable Life After Going to the Countryside

When Liu Xiangyang turned into the alley on his bicycle, the sun was still hanging in the west, and there was still a while before sunset.

The gate to Chen Jie's house was ajar. He pushed it open and went in, just in time to see Chen Jie collecting clothes in the yard.

She heard a noise, turned around, saw him, and froze for a moment.

"Towards the sun?"

Liu Xiangyang parked the car and walked over.

Chen Jie was still clutching a shirt she had just received, her eyes wide with disbelief: "Isn't today Friday? Why are you...?"

"I missed you. Can't I come back earlier?"

Chen Jie rolled her eyes at him, but the corners of her mouth were already turned up.

"Glib-tongued."

She put the shirt in the basket, leaned closer, and looked him up and down.

"No, something's definitely wrong."

Liu Xiangyang smiled.

"What could be wrong?"

Chen Jie stared at him for two seconds, then suddenly lowered her voice:

"Did you get into trouble?"

Liu Xiangyang was amused by her.

"no."

"Then why did you come back today?"

Liu Xiangyang thought for a moment, then pulled her into the house.

"Let's go inside and talk."

The room was dimly lit. Chen Jie put down the clothes she had taken down and turned to look at him.

Liu Xiangyang leaned against the table and gave a brief account of what had happened in the past two days.

"There was a teacher in the training course, surnamed Zhou, who threatened a female student with a spot in the hospital."

Chen Jie frowned.

"Threat? What do you mean?"

"Sleep with him, and he'll help her stay in the hospital."

Chen Jie was stunned for a moment, then her expression changed.

"brute."

Liu Xiangyang nodded.

"When the girl refused, he picked a fight with her in class, embarrassing her in front of the whole class."

Chen Jie looked at him, and her expression slowly changed.

"So you came back?"

Liu Xiangyang shook his head.

"I didn't come back. I have other things to take care of."

Chen Jie stared at him for several seconds.

Then she suddenly laughed, but the laugh was different from the one before.

"Towards the sun."

"Um?"

"What's that female student's name?"

Liu Xiangyang paused for a moment.

"Zhao Xiaoman".

Chen Jie nodded, walked up to him, and looked up at him.

"What's your relationship with her?"

Liu Xiangyang looked at her.

Chen Jie looked at him too, her eyes bright, with an expression that seemed to see through everything.

"Don't tell me it's nothing." She reached out and tapped his chest. "Don't I know who you, Liu Xiangyang, are? Why are you so concerned about nothing?"

Liu Xiangyang was silent for two seconds.

"She likes me."

Chen Jie was stunned for a moment.

Liu Xiangyang looked at her.

"But I don't have anything to do with her. I just couldn't stand by and watch, so I helped her out."

Chen Jie stared at him for several seconds.

The room was very quiet; you could hear the rustling of leaves in the wind outside the window.

Then Chen Jie smiled.

That smile was different from before; it was softer and a little sour.

"Liu Xiangyang, you're something else, trying to fool your godmother like that."

Chen Jie reached out and pinched his cheek: "Isn't that girl pretty?"

Liu Xiangyang looked at her blankly, wondering what she meant by asking that question.

Chen Jie rolled her eyes at him: "Stop pretending, I'm asking you a question."

Liu Xiangyang thought for a moment.

"good."

Chen Jie smiled, but her smile was tinged with helplessness.

"Liu Xiangyang, I really... can't do anything with you."

She turned around, walked to the table, and poured herself a glass of water.

She took a sip and then looked back at him.

"So what are you planning to do about this?"

Liu Xiangyang looked at her.

"Don't worry about it, I know what I'm doing."

Chen Jie stared at him for two seconds and nodded.

"Okay, I won't ask."

She put down the cup and walked up to him.

"But I'm telling you, Liu Xiangyang."

She reached out, grabbed his collar, and pulled him down a bit.

"No matter how many you have outside, you have to save me a spot here."

Liu Xiangyang looked at her.

Chen Jie's eyes were bright, with a smile, but also something else.

He reached out and pulled her into his arms.

"rest assured."

Chen Jie buried her face in his chest and mumbled an "Mmm".

After a while, she suddenly asked, "Isn't Zhao Xiaoman prettier than me?"

Liu Xiangyang tightened his embrace around the beautiful woman: "My dear godmother, Xiaoman is just a young girl, what does she have to compare with you?"

Chen Jie rolled her eyes at him and pinched his waist: "You said it was nothing, but you even called him Xiaoman. Humph, all men are the same."

"I will definitely tell her these words someday."

"Yes, I'll definitely say it. You're my first wife, Liu Xiangyang's first wife. What's wrong with saying a few words to her?" Liu Xiangyang looked at her with a fawning expression.

"You're smart to know your place." Chen Jie poked his forehead with a finger. "So, according to you, I'm older than your Xue Bingbing?"

"Definitely." Liu Xiangyang whispered in her ear, "When I'm with you in the future, let her watch."

"Hmph, you're smart to know what's good for you."

"But I wouldn't dare let your first wife push me. Whether I can enter your Liu family depends on her approval."

"She wouldn't dare. No matter what, you're still mine. If she dares to not let you in, I'll... I'll mess with her."

"Screw you, you've shown your true colors now. You want to kill her? You might as well kill me instead."

Liu Xiangyang seized the opportunity, picked her up, and said, "Then I'll do whatever you say. I'll kill you right now." After saying that, he carried her into the bedroom and slammed the door shut.

A series of crackling sounds came from the bedroom, mixed with cries for help and panting.

An hour later, the bedroom finally quieted down: "Oh dear, Liu Xiangyang, you've led me astray. I was asking about Zhao Xiaoman, how did you manage to drag me and Bingbing into this?"

"Confess honestly..."

"Hmph"

"Liu Xiangyang, you're a beast."

"Any more questions?" Liu Xiangyang asked, looking at her.

"I won't ask anymore, I won't ask anymore."

"Ouch, why are you biting me? Are you a dog?"

"I'll bite you, so what if I'm a dog?"

"Then you are my XMG!"

Chen Jie screamed and fainted, startling Liu Xiangyang. He touched her carotid artery with two fingers, but thankfully, she had only fainted from excitement.

Liu Xiangyang comforted her for a while before she came to her senses: "Xiangyang, I just died, it felt like I was floating on clouds."

"What? You're flying through the air, but I'm still being carried." He said, then looked ahead.

"Let me rest for a while."

Looking at Chen Jie's pale face, Liu Xiangyang knew she had reached her limit.

"I'll let you off this time, but let's see if you're still so arrogant next time. If you are, I'll get you."

"You lie down for a bit, I'm going next door to develop some photos," Liu Xiangyang said as he picked up his clothes from the floor and put them on.

Looking back, I saw that she was exhausted and had fallen into a deep sleep, leaning against the side. Her long eyelashes covered her eyes, her cheeks were flushed, her breathing gradually slowed down, and a few very soft snores escaped from her nose, adding a touch of languid charm that was hard to ignore.

Liu Xiangyang shook his head, helped her tuck the car away, and walked out of the bedroom into the small room he had modified.

He drew all the curtains, took out a camera from his storage space, prepared the medicine, took out the film, and began developing the photos of Zhou Zhiming and Tang Xiaohong.

While he was busy, he heard the sound of cooking coming from the kitchen. He picked up a developed photograph, looked at it, clipped it to the drying line, and laughed.

"Knock knock, Xiangyang, eat your meal before you get busy."

"They're here."
