Oh no! His rural wife is sweeter than a peach!

Thump thump thump—

Lu Luozhi felt her heart pounding harder and harder each time.

It was so intense it almost burst out of his chest.

When the last layer of the canvas of the past is lifted, those long-forgotten, dusty memories rush in instantly.

Like a surging tide, it relentlessly swept over her body and mind.

She was so shocked that she lost her voice for a moment.

No way?

Could it be that dramatic?

"Knock knock—"

A knock on the door pulled her from her reverie.

She took a deep breath and calmed herself down a bit. "Someone's knocking. I'll go open the door."

She walked over slowly and opened the door naturally.

She thought he was the landlord.

When she arrived in the morning, she found that the kitchen faucet was leaking, so she called the landlord to come and fix it.

The landlord was at work at the time and said he would be free in the evening.

She really did think he was the landlord.

"Landlord, you've finally arrived..."

Before she could finish speaking, her eyes fell upon the tall yet slightly weak, pale-faced, muscular figure of the man standing before her, and she froze in disbelief.

His eyes were wide open, filled with disbelief and disbelief.

It was as if he were some kind of alien being.

He held his phone in his hand, his dark eyes fixed on her with unwavering greed.

I was afraid she would disappear again in the next second.

If a single glance could capture an eternity, then this is it.

He longed to see her so much.

At the same time, I miss her so much.

He smiled slightly at her, and said in a soft, affectionate voice to her on the phone, "We meet again."

"You, how did you get here?"

After regaining her senses, Lu Luozhi almost screamed.

She had never revealed the existence of this bungalow to Ying Yuchuan since she rented it.

Why did he suddenly come to our door?

Could it have been the blond-haired guy who told him?

Impossible, he wouldn't betray his older sister.

Otherwise, she would beat him into a pulp.

If it wasn't him, then how did Ying Yuchuan know where she was staying?

Ying Yuchuan did not answer her question, but stared straight at her and continued to say what he had not yet finished.

"The day after I made the call, my parents and grandparents came to the village. At that time, I was eating roasted sweet potatoes with that little girl with a sweet smile. Her face was all dirty. She didn't want me to leave and clung to me for a long time, calling out, 'Big brother, don't go.'"

"My heart almost melted when I heard that. Later, I took off the jade bracelet that my grandmother was wearing on her wrist, and to repay her grandparents for saving my life, I took the initiative to propose the marriage."

"At that time, her grandparents could have accepted the marriage and the huge sum of money, but they didn't. They only wanted the marriage contract, saying that they, as rural people, were not greedy for money."

"When I was leaving, the little girl's grandmother held her hand and saw us off at the gate of the yard. As I got into the car, the little girl, who had been led away from her home, suddenly turned around and called out to me. She waved her little hand and said to me with a smile, 'Big brother, come and play again sometime!'"

"I still remember that humiliation. For the past few years, I've been wondering why that girl hasn't come looking for me yet. Has she forgotten about the engagement?"

He gave a slight, wry smile.

"It seems she really doesn't remember me, or even who I am."

"Oh, right, I haven't told you the little girl's name yet. Her name is Lu Luozhi."

When her name came out of his mouth, Lu Luozhi was startled.

She stared blankly at him, who was smiling back at her, his eyes filled with her reflection.

As he recounted his story, the forgotten memories in his mind were pieced together.

She remembered.

I remember everything.

This handsome face overlaps with his younger self.

Like two rivers that flow separately but eventually converge at a certain time on a certain day.

The sickly older brother who lay in bed in her dream is now standing in front of her, in the form of an adult.

This happened when she was three years old.

Because of her young age and the many things that have happened in the past twenty years, she has almost completely forgotten this "big brother," the boy who was born into her life.

Her grandmother never reminded her.

So that's how this marriage came about.

He was rescued by his grandfather on his way back to the village. He was lying on the country road covered in injuries. His grandfather was kind and couldn't bear to leave such a child lying there unattended. What if he was accidentally bitten to death by wild dogs nearby?

So he immediately carried him on his back and slowly walked back to home, about five kilometers away.

At that time, the two elderly people made a living by farming. Her parents, who were still alive, were working in other places. The old lady did not dare to trouble her son and daughter-in-law, so she paid for medicine herself and tried her best to cure him.

Fortunately, he survived. After lying in bed for almost a week, he showed some improvement, and his grandparents thought he was about to die.

Back when Luming hadn't yet appeared, she would go to him when she was bored and ask him to play with her.

"You said Li Wan knew me before you, but we had already met in some corner you don't remember."

Ying Yuchuan's long, clean right hand gently cupped her cheek, his thumb lightly caressing her soft skin.

Gently.

Wherever he touched, a wave of heat arose.

Even his tone of voice was less serious and much gentler.

"For the past few years, I've been wondering if you don't need this marriage anymore. Actually, I was planning to visit you this summer. If you don't need it anymore, I can give you some more money so you can live a better life. I didn't expect you to come looking for me first."

He should have gone a few years ago.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be living such a hard life.

"The night I first met you, you were picking cherries with Huang Maozi. At that time, I was wondering who this girl was. It wasn't until the next day that I found out that you were the wife I had been betrothed to long ago."

He smiled happily and whispered, "Lu Luozhi, I don't regret getting our marriage certificate or marrying you."

Yes, although I might be a bit old-fashioned and serious, and sometimes I might not understand the delicate feelings of you women, I can learn and I can change. So, please stop talking about divorce, okay?

What you said makes me very sad and upset.

At this moment, he had no intention of hiding his emotions from her.

"I'm so sad that my heart is aching. I was lying in the hospital bed just now, thinking about everything between us. You rushed to see me twice, only to be disappointed twice in a row."

"So this time, I'll come to find you..."

Suddenly, he pulled her abruptly, drawing her into his warm embrace.

He held her tightly, as if she were his beloved treasure.

The man's voice whispered softly in her ear:

"Lu Luozhi, I've come to find you. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."
