Time Travel: My Comfortable Life After Going to the Countryside

The next morning, sunlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains and fell on the bed.

Chen Jie suddenly opened her eyes, glanced out the window, then at the alarm clock on the table, and jumped up.

"Oh dear! It's so late!"

She sat up abruptly, the blanket slipping off her body to reveal her smooth shoulders and the two firm, soft mounds of flesh on her chest. The morning light shone on them, dazzlingly white.

She turned her head and saw that Liu Xiangyang still had his eyes closed, so she reached out and patted him on the shoulder: "It's all your fault!"

When Liu Xiangyang opened his eyes, he saw Chen Jie sitting there, the blanket had slipped down to her waist, and her upper body was completely exposed. The morning light shone on her, and her pert breasts trembled gently with her breath.

"Who made me do this again and again last night? I was afraid you would get hurt and wanted you to rest for a while, but you wouldn't let me."

Chen Jie blushed and slapped his hand away. "I don't care, you're the one who made me late."

She was about to get out of bed when she suddenly remembered something. She looked at the floor beside the bed, but it was empty. She looked around again, but still nothing. "Xiangyang, where are my underwear?"

Liu Xiangyang leaned against the headboard and said slowly, "Didn't we throw them all in the outer room last night?"

Chen Jie was stunned for a moment, then her face turned even redder as she remembered the clothes she had lost all the way from the kitchen to the bedroom last night.

She glared at him, stood up naked, and the morning light illuminated her entire body clearly—her slender waist, round hips, long legs, and those two full mounds that swayed with her movements.

She walked to the wardrobe, opened the door, and took out new underwear and a bellyband.

Then she turned to look at him, pursed her lips, bent down, put her feet in, and slowly pulled them up. As she bent down, her breasts drooped down, dazzling in the morning light. She straightened up, hooked her fingers on the edge of her underwear, and slowly pulled it up to her waist, deliberately making the movement very slow.

After putting on her underwear, she unfolded the red fabric, put it around her neck, and tied the straps behind her back. As she tied the straps, her chest thrust forward, and the two mounds of flesh were mostly covered by the bodice, but the edges were faintly visible. She tied the straps, turned around to let him see, then turned back and smiled at him.

Liu Xiangyang's eyes widened in surprise. He threw off the covers and sat up abruptly.

Chen Jie was startled and took a step back: "W-what are you doing? I'm going to be late!"

Liu Xiangyang looked at her with fire in his eyes. Chen Jie quickly grabbed a piece of clothing, put it on, and put on her pants. She ran out while buttoning them up.

She ran to the bedroom door, glanced back at him, her face flushed, and a smirk playing on her lips: "You'll have to figure out breakfast yourself, I'm not making it for you."

She paused, then added, "But remember to eat breakfast before you go back to the village, don't go hungry." With that, she laughed and ran out.

Liu Xiangyang leaned against the headboard and stayed in bed for a while longer after Chen Jie left.

The blanket still held her warmth, and the pillow still smelled of her hair. He lay there with his eyes closed for a few minutes before slowly sitting up.

After washing up, he pushed his bike out of the alley. The breakfast stall at the street corner was still open, so he bought two steamed buns and a bowl of soy milk and ate them while riding.

He rode his bicycle out of town, turned into a grove of trees, looked around to make sure no one was there, and then, with a thought, his motorcycle appeared out of his spatial storage, landing steadily on the ground. He put his bicycle back in, got on the motorcycle, and started it.

With a roar, the motorcycle sped off.

At noon, when the sun was blazing, Liu Xiangyang rode his motorcycle to the outskirts of Dongsheng Village. He put the motorcycle away, took out his bicycle, and rode into the village.

He met several commune members on their way home from work, who greeted him:

"Inspector Liu is back?"

"Inspector Liu, how's the situation in the city?"

Liu Xiangyang responded to each one with a smile on his face.

As he turned down the alleyway leading to his house, he could hear voices coming from the courtyard. He parked his car at the gate, pushed the door open, and went inside. Clothes were hanging out to dry in the yard, and the aroma of food wafted from the kitchen.

The courtyard was quiet, save for the aroma of food wafting from the kitchen and the soft murmur of women talking.

Liu Xiangyang pushed open the courtyard gate and went inside. The door to the house was ajar. Liu Xiangyang gently pushed it open and found a group of people sitting around a table eating.

Xue Bingbing was sitting directly opposite the door. The first person she saw him paused, her chopsticks stopped, and she seemed frozen in place, staring straight at him without blinking.

Le Yao, with her back to the door and still chewing her food, mumbled, "Sister Bingbing, why aren't you eating? Is the food not to your liking?"

Le Qi sat next to Le Yao and glanced back, following Xue Bingbing's gaze.

The moment she saw Liu Xiangyang, her chopsticks fell to the table with a "clatter," and she jumped up abruptly. She didn't even bother to catch her chair as it tilted backward. She rushed over in three steps and bumped headfirst into Liu Xiangyang's arms.

She didn't say anything, but just hugged him tightly, buried her face in his chest, and her shoulders trembled violently.

Le Yao was startled by Le Qi's actions. She turned around, froze, and then screamed "Ah!" before dropping her chopsticks and rushing over.

Zuo Qingqing, Jiang Xiaowen, He Xiaoqin, and Luo Lan all looked in that direction, and the entire hall instantly erupted in chaos.

Zuo Qingqing sprang up from the stool, the cushion flying off her, and rushed over in a few steps, grabbing Liu Xiangyang's arm from the side and burying her head against his shoulder.

Jiang Xiaowen shouted in a loud voice, "Brother Xiangyang!" She stood up and ran over, but when she got there, she didn't know where to squeeze in, and she stamped her feet in frustration.

He Xiaoqin, who is usually the most shy, was faster than anyone else this time. She put down her chopsticks and ran over, squeezed next to Liu Xiangyang, grabbed his collar, looked up at him, her eyes were red, her lips trembled and she couldn't speak, and tears streamed down her face.

Roland slowly put down his chopsticks, stood up, crossed his arms and leaned against the table, the corners of his mouth turned up, but his eyes were bright and full of smiles.

"Oh, Inspector Liu, you actually know to come back? We thought you were having too much fun in Ice City to remember home." That's what she said, but the way she looked at him was so clingy it could stretch into silk.

Leqi was still clinging to him, her face buried in his chest, refusing to lift up. Liu Xiangyang cupped her face and kissed her on the lips.

"Qiqi, did you miss me?"

Leqi nestled in his arms, her voice a mix of crying and laughing: "I...I think about you every day...I have so much to say to you..."

Liu Xiangyang smiled and hugged her even tighter.

Le Yao jumped up and down anxiously beside him, crying, "Brother! What about me? What about me? I want a hug too!"

Liu Xiangyang freed one hand to pull her over and kissed her on the cheek.

"You'll get your share."

He Xiaoqin was still clutching his clothes, tears streaming down her face. Liu Xiangyang reached out and wiped her face.

"Why are you crying? I'm back now."

He Xiaoqin nodded, then shook her head. "Brother, I'm just happy." She then gripped his collar even tighter.

Zuo Qingqing squeezed to the side, looked up, and asked, "Brother, how many days are you staying this time?"

Liu Xiangyang looked down at her.

"Two days."

Zuo Qingqing pouted, and her eyes reddened: "It's only been two days? I thought you were done with your training."

Liu quickly pinched her cheek: "I'll come back to see you whenever I have time."

Zuo Qingqing then managed to hold back her tears.

Jiang Xiaowen finally squeezed in a little: "Brother Xiangyang, did you miss us while you were in Harbin?"

Liu Xiangyang laughed: "I miss you, I miss you every day, I miss your long legs the most."

Jiang Xiaowen was satisfied, grinning from ear to ear, though her eyes were still red.

Xue Bingbing didn't move from beginning to end. She just sat there, watching the room full of people making a ruckus, watching them rush over, and watching Liu Xiangyang hug them one by one.

Liu Xiangyang raised his head, his gaze passing over the crowd and landing on her. Xue Bingbing met his gaze, and the corners of her mouth slowly turned up.

She stood up, walked over, and stood in front of him, while the others automatically made way for her.

Xue Bingbing looked at him with bright eyes, and she reached out to gently brush off a speck of dust from his collar.

Have you eaten?

Liu Xiangyang looked at her and smiled.

"No, I rode all the way."

Xue Bingbing nodded: "Stop holding him. Some of you should fetch water, some of you should serve rice. Hurry up and let Xiangyang eat. Don't let him go hungry, or he won't be able to exert any strength tonight."
