Five years after my wife's death, she came back!

Shi Ying tried hard to recall her ring, but something seemed to be blocking her, and she could only remember a vague outline.

She examined Shang Chenyan's ring closely under the light. The pink diamond shone with a soft luster, clear and bright. Even someone like her, who knew nothing about diamonds, felt that it must be very valuable.

Shi Ying sat on the bed and brought up the game panel.

Customer Service 888: [Hello player, it's my pleasure to assist you.]

Shi Ying: [Xiao Ba, could you check if I have any game history before? Or if I've ever been to this instance?]

888: [Okay.]

888: [You haven't been to this instance before. The log shows this is your first time participating in the game.]

Shi Ying fell silent.

But she always felt that Shang Chenyan gave her a sense of déjà vu.

In those recurring dreams that haunted her, the protagonist was none other than Shang Chenyan. Surely she wouldn't have dreams like that for no reason...

Having received no answer from customer service and unable to figure it out herself, Shi Ying decided to go to headquarters to inquire after leaving the game.

When Shang Chenyan came out, he saw the girl sitting on the bed in a daze, still holding his ring in her hand.

He stopped, feeling a little uneasy.

The ring did not fall out by accident.

Since Shi Ying left five years ago, he had been wearing this ring. However, he was in a minor car accident one day, and the ring was accidentally bumped. Although there was no visible damage, Shang Chenyan always felt that he had not protected their wedding ring well.

After that, he had the ring made into a pendant and put it in a safe.

Last night, he tried to talk to Shi Ying about the past, but something seemed to be preventing her from hearing it. Shang Chenyan guessed that he couldn't explain it directly and that Shi Ying needed to remember it herself.

Although Shi Ying didn't remember him, her body was familiar with him. He asked Ji Huanzhou, a psychologist, who told him that this was Shi Ying's subconscious love for him. He suggested using things that were once unique to the two of them to awaken her subconscious.

However, it should be done gradually, without stimulating her, lest it backfire.

Shi Ying sat there blankly for a while, until she realized that the sound of water in the bathroom had stopped for a long time, before she turned around.

Upon meeting her gaze, Shang Chenyan regained his usual expression and walked over with a smile: "What are you doing sitting here?"

He wasn't wearing a shirt, only a bath towel wrapped around his lower body. Drips of water, still wet, slid down his well-defined muscles and disappeared at the edge of the towel.

Shi Ying couldn't help but glance at it a few more times, then turned her head away and awkwardly tossed the ring to him: "Your things fell out."

He brought his ex-wife's things with him when he went out with her; what a scoundrel!

Shi Ying felt she should be angry. She didn't think she was a generous person in relationships, but for some reason, she seemed frighteningly magnanimous towards Shang Chenyan.

Shi Ying suddenly felt a little terrified. Oh my god, could she still be a hopeless romantic?

Shang Chenyan took the ring in his hand and asked, "What do you think of this ring?"

Shi Ying was furious and grabbed a pillow, hitting him with it: "You dare ask again? You bastard!"

After being hit a few times and venting her anger, Shang Chenyan grabbed her arm, but before he could speak, Shi Ying slapped his head: "Shut up, I don't want to hear you talk now."

She stood up angrily, and Shang Chenyan quickly asked, "Where are you going?"

"Let's go for a soak in the hot springs," Shi Ying rolled her eyes at him, "so I don't get so angry with you."

Shang Chenyan chuckled and walked over, gently pulling her into his arms: "It's my fault. I'll go with you to soak in the water. Let's change our clothes first."

Upon hearing this, Shi Ying realized with annoyance, "I didn't bring my swimsuit."

"I brought it for you." He flicked her nose with his finger. "You don't need to worry about it. Everything is ready for you. It's in the bathroom."

Shi Ying snorted and ran into the bathroom.

There was a small bag on the washstand. When she opened it, she found a light blue swimsuit inside.

......

Shang Chenyan waited for almost twenty minutes before Shi Ying slowly emerged from inside. She was wearing a bathrobe, her face was slightly flushed, and her gaze wandered without even looking at him.

The bathrobe only covered the area above the knees, revealing a section of straight calves, and the blue veins on the fair insteps were visible.

"alright?"

Shi Ying felt a little awkward and asked in a soft voice, "Why did you prepare a swimsuit like this?"

"What's wrong?" Shang Chenyan walked over and took her hand, which was tightly gripping her bathrobe, in his own. "Don't you like it?"

"You like it, don't you?" With so little fabric, it was like a bikini; she had never worn this style before.

Shang Chenyan chuckled softly, "Of course I like it, I like it even more when you wear it."

Shi Ying blushed even more.

"Would you like to soak outside or inside?" The room is large, and there are two small indoor hot springs at the back.

Shi Ying pointed outside: "What's the difference between soaking indoors and soaking in a bathtub? I want to go to the open air."

"it is good."

In the afternoon, the dark clouds dispersed, and a sliver of sunlight appeared in the sky.

Wisps of white steam rose from the hot spring pool in the courtyard. The pool walls were made of dark blue bricks and stones, and a few flower petals floated on the surface of the water.

Shi Ying sat on the edge, touched the water with her hand first, and then slowly put her calves in. The water was above her ankles and a little hot, but she soon felt very comfortable.

Shang Chenyan knelt behind her, his hand caressing her chin, and turned his head to kiss her.

Shi Ying braced herself against the uneven edge of the pool with both hands behind her, leaning slightly against him, and soon found herself unable to breathe.

She could clearly sense that his kisses this time were different from before. Before, he would always tease her on purpose, kissing her for a while and then stopping to kiss her earlobe and neck, and he would also deliberately say some dirty things and make some seductive sounds.

But now, Shi Yingzhen felt as if he was about to devour her whole, both anxious and fierce.

The water rippled gently as Shang Chenyan carried her into the hot spring, where the warm water instantly enveloped them.

Whether it was the intense heat of the hot spring or the recklessness of the person in front of her, Shi Ying simply couldn't take it anymore.

She bit him, then turned her head away, panting and begging for mercy as he paused.

"Stop bullying me..."

The man chuckled softly, "Is this what you call bullying you?"

Shi Ying's eyes were wet, and she glared at him with little intimidation.

She stepped back, submerged herself in the water, then turned around, placed her hands on the pool wall, and buried her face in it.

This hot spring resort is very quiet. You can't hear the noise of people and cars. Only the occasional birdsong can be heard from the branches of the trees overhead.

Shi Ying closed her eyes contentedly, but after more than ten minutes she felt a little dizzy.

"Shang Chenyan..."

"What's wrong?"

Shi Ying turned around and leaned on his shoulder: "I'm a little dizzy from soaking for so long."

"Shall we go back and rest for a while?"

Shi Ying shook her head: "It's too cold outside, I want to soak a little longer."

Shang Chenyan simply grabbed her waist, picked her up and placed her on the edge of the pool. Afraid that she would get cold, he draped a bathrobe over her.

Shi Ying then felt that her breathing was easier.

The bathrobe clung tightly to his body, with a small section rolled up around his abdomen. Shang Chenyan stared at that spot, his eyes gradually darkening.

He straightened up slightly and kissed her flat stomach.

"Um..."

Shi Ying tilted her head back, her neck appearing even longer, as water droplets mixed with sweat dripped slowly down her collarbone.

The girl's fair fingers slipped through the man's black hair, trembling slightly as she tried to grab his head.

......

When Shiying came out of the hot spring, she could barely stand.

"Put your shoes on, or you'll catch a cold."

Shang Chenyan took the shoes, knelt down in front of her, and helped her put them on.

His hand encircled the girl's slender ankle, his slightly rough fingertips gently caressing it, the temperature of his palm as hot as the water in the hot spring pool just now.

"Stop it, it tickles." Shi Ying gently kicked him.

With a smile on his lips, Shang Chenyan kissed her slightly reddened knee.
