Time Travel: My Comfortable Life After Going to the Countryside

"I have a condition. If you agree, I'll agree to it," he said with a wicked smile.

Seeing the mischievous smile on his lips, Chen Jie pinched his chest. "What kind of crazy idea have you come up with to torment me now?"

Liu Xiangyang whispered something in Chen Jie's ear, and she blushed completely. Her expression was particularly interesting, showing anger, hesitation, anticipation, and excitement.

"My request isn't unreasonable, is it? It's only a few hours a day." He was tempting her like the serpent that tempted Eve.

"What kind of nonsense is this? I'm not listening to your rubbish. I'm going to cook." Chen Jie rolled her eyes at him, changed her clothes, and went to cook.

Four or five days passed in this process.

That afternoon, Liu Xiangyang rode his brand-new bicycle to the vicinity of the train station and saw Chen Jie running towards him.

"Xiangyang, that woman surnamed Qian was arrested this afternoon. I heard they found about ten thousand yuan in cash in her house, which filled a sack."

Chen Jie, panting heavily, held onto the bicycle and took several breaths to catch her breath before sitting on the back of the bicycle. She put her hands in her coat pockets and pressed her whole body against his back as she spoke.

"I feel like your thing has gotten bigger. I'll have to get it checked out when we get home," Liu Xiangyang whispered to her as he turned around.

"Don't you have any sense of propriety? You're out here all day." Chen Jie shifted her body. "But I also feel like it might have gotten a little bigger."

"What are you doing? Don't move around, or you'll fall off the bus," Liu Xiangyang quickly stopped him.

"Ugh, you're so annoying. You've led me astray again. I'm telling you something serious. My colleague's husband is in the Revolutionary Committee, and that woman surnamed Qian got arrested."

"Of course! He sent up so much material, and I found out he was having affairs. There's no way he can escape it."

When Chen Jie heard the words "incestuous relationships," her heart stopped for a moment, and she fell silent.

I've been having an affair with Xiangyang too, haven't I? I'm eleven years older than Xiangyang. What if someone finds out? It would ruin Xiangyang's life. What should I do?

Chen Jie's mood plummeted. She thought that if their relationship were discovered, both of them would be ruined.

She suddenly remembered being called a jinx when she argued with others as a child. She had killed her own mother not long after she was born, and her husband was arrested and died in jail the same day she got her marriage certificate and held her wedding banquet. He, on the other hand, had only been with her for a few days when he was involved in this matter with the surname Qian, which was not far from the time of the incident.

Chen Jie became increasingly sad as she thought about everything that had happened since they met, the happiness he had brought her, and how he had resolutely protected her when faced with threats from so many people surnamed Qian. Looking at Liu Xiangyang parking his car, Chen Jie couldn't help but cry.

When Liu Xiangyang saw Chen Jie crying, he quickly went over and pulled her into his arms, asking, "What's wrong? Why are you crying?"

Chen Jie buried her face in his chest, choking back sobs, her voice broken and intermittent: "Xiangyang, isn't what we're doing considered having an illicit relationship? I'm so much older than you, if people find out, you... you'll be completely ruined. It's my fault."

The more she spoke, the more desperate she became, and her deep-seated inferiority and fear burst forth: "I've been cursed since I was a child for being a jinx, for killing my own mother and my husband. Now, isn't it your turn? Nothing good ever comes from being associated with me."

He looked at Chen Jie, who seemed to be in tears, and didn't say anything to stop her from overthinking.

He tightened his grip, almost half-carrying, half-lifting Chen Jie, who was trembling with sobs, from beside the bicycle. He rushed into the bedroom in a few steps, drew the curtains, and the room dimmed, leaving only her suppressed sobs and his heavy breathing.

"Look at me." Liu Xiangyang pinched her chin, forcing her to lift her face, her tear tracks glistening in the dim light.

His eyes were sharp, offering no comfort, only a burning fire and an undeniable authority. "I'll get rid of all your nonsense thoughts right now."

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly lowered his head and kissed her, not to comfort her, but to completely possess and bite her, silencing all her unspoken sobs of fear.

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"

The sound of the thin rope securing the buckle snapping rang out one after another.

His hand gripped her waist like an iron hoop, pressing her tightly against him, leaving no gap between them.

Liu Xiangyang used all his strength, without a trace of gentleness, like a never-ending engine.

Chen Jie was stunned by his sudden intensity. She instinctively pushed against his chest, but couldn't budge him at all. Instead, he kissed her even deeper, taking away her breath and seemingly taking away her ability to think.

Only when she was almost out of breath and felt like she was melting did Liu Xiangyang slightly loosen her lips, nose to nose, his hot breath blowing on her face.

"Still thinking nonsense?" His voice was low and hoarse, carrying a lingering ruthlessness.

Chen Jie's eyes were unfocused, her nostrils flared violently, and she couldn't speak, only shaking her head, her hair plastered to her face with sweat.

"Listen carefully," he said, staring into her eyes, "First of all, you're not a jinx. You're my woman, Liu Xiangyang's woman. If I think you're good, then you're the best."

"Secondly, our relationship is known only to heaven, earth, you, and me. As long as I don't want it to be discovered, no one can find out. And even if they do, I can protect you."

His palms, burning hot, rubbed her back hard, the force so strong it made her tremble in pain. It wasn't a caress; it was as if he wanted to press her into his body. "You're mine, inside and out. You'll never escape me in this lifetime, understand?"

Under his absolute control and intense aura, Chen Jie's fear and pessimistic thoughts about losing Liu Xiangyang were truly melted away by this tyrannical flame, leaving only instinctive dependence and dizziness. She nodded tremblingly, her fingers unconsciously gripping the clothes at his waist.

Liu Xiangyang's expression softened somewhat, but his grip remained tight. "As for the future, wait for me for two years. I'll give you an explanation in two years."

The bedroom fell silent, broken only by their heavy breathing. After a long while, she murmured in his arms, "Then, then two years from now, you...you can't complain that I'm old."

Liu Xiangyang laughed. "Aren't you silly? I love you so much, how could I possibly dislike you?"

"I'm telling the truth. I know those twin sisters are your women too, but I don't care. I just want to be your woman and have lots and lots of children for you."

He lowered his head, kissed her damp forehead, brushed her sweat-soaked hair to one side, and stared into her eyes: "What? I won't let you down."

"Xiangyang, even if you don't want me in the future, I will still cling to you for the rest of my life."
