Reborn at 80: From Village Scoundrel to Billionaire

"Brother Ha'er, are you...are you sure nothing's wrong?"

Hearing this, Zhao Chunyan became even more worried and asked another question as a deliberate attempt to probe the situation.

"Sister Chunyan, I'm strong enough to eat three cows, I'm really fine!"

As he spoke, Fan Ha'er opened his mouth wide, making a gesture as if he could eat a cow.

Zhao Chunyan: "..."

Startled, she couldn't help but glance at Liu Bei.

"Let's go back to the village!"

Liu Bei frowned as he made a decision.

Upon hearing this, Fan Ha'er immediately ran towards the pedicab, and in the blink of an eye, he plopped down on it. "Brother Bei, you take your wife, I'm going home first!"

"Wait, I haven't given you your money yet!" Liu Bei immediately stopped him, handing over half the money to Fan Ha'er. "Ride carefully on the road, don't fall!"

"Got it! Brother Bei, slow down your car too, don't go too fast."

Liu Bei: "..."

"Sister-in-law, please tell Brother Bei to ride slower. If he goes too fast, the road is winding and not easy to ride, and you'll be jolted and feel very uncomfortable."

After saying that, Fan Ha'er left quickly.

Zhao Chunyan: "..."

Half of her face flushed red.

Is this guy really stupid, or is he just pretending?

Is it appropriate to say such things in public?

"Cough cough~"

The four police officers were extremely embarrassed upon hearing this, and immediately coughed a few times before hurriedly leaving.

Chen Shunzi immediately turned his head away, pretending he hadn't heard anything.

Liu Bei: "..."

He paused, then looked quite helpless.

He walked to the bicycle, sat down, and rode up to Zhao Chunyan. "Chunyan, get on!"

"Okay!" Zhao Chunyan nodded and plopped down in the back, her right arm around Liu Bei's waist. "Ha'er told you to slow down and not drive too fast!"

"I remember! I won't go fast, I'll ride slowly!"

"That's good!"

"Hold on tight, we're about to set off!"

"Um!"

"Time to go home!"

As soon as Liu Bei finished speaking, he pedaled his bicycle and sped off.

Watching the two figures disappear into the distance, Chen Shun sighed, "What a perfect match! A handsome man and a beautiful woman! It's just a pity—"

He paused, then glanced sideways at the young woman's shop. "It's just a pity Yingzi was so foolish. Wasn't life good enough? Why did she have to take her own life? From tomorrow onwards, her shop will be closed. What a pity, sigh..."

……

along the way.

Liu Bei really did ride very, very slowly.

So slow that you can't even see Fan Ha'er's shadow.

"Liu Bei, isn't this a bit too slow?"

"Didn't you say you wanted it to be slow?"

"But...but you can't be this slow! We can't even see Ha'er anymore, aren't you worried about him?"

"Okay. I'll speed things up!"

"Hmm. Not only do I need to be faster, but I also need to put in some effort to catch up with Ha'er. My heart is pounding the whole time; I have a feeling something bad is going to happen!"

"Okay!" Upon hearing this, Liu Bei dared not slow down any longer. He stomped his foot hard, and the bicycle shot off, speeding a great distance away.

Zhao Chunyan was not prepared and fell backward.

"Hey~ Why are you doing this so fast? Are you trying to kill me?"

Seeing that she was about to fall off the bus, Zhao Chunyan got angry.

"Click~"

At the critical moment, Liu Bei suddenly grabbed Zhao Chunyan's arm from behind and pulled her back forcefully.

"Bang!"

Instantly, Zhao Chunyan's entire body bumped into Liu Bei's back.

A soft touch came from behind.

Liu Bei recalled the last time he gave Lin Wanqiu a ride.

It was the same bicycle back then.

It's that same feeling of comfort.

The only difference is that the female owner has changed.

"Are you alright?" Liu Bei asked with concern.

"Hmph! I think you're doing this on purpose, aren't you?"

Zhao Chunyan immediately moved a little further away and pinched Liu Bei's waist hard with one hand.

"It hurts. Why are you pinching me?" Liu Bei asked, enduring the pain.

"Tell me honestly, when you gave Wanqiu a ride last time, didn't you take advantage of her in the same way?"

Liu Bei: "..."

If you don't say anything, I'll assume you are.

Liu Bei: "..."

Did they guess that correctly?

A woman's intuition is so accurate!

"You pervert! You really are shameless! Shameless! Just wait and see how I deal with you—"

Before you could even say "you," the bicycle suddenly slid down the slope at high speed.

"Ah~"

They were moving very fast, and the road was uneven, which frightened Zhao Chunyan so much that she immediately screamed and hugged Liu Bei tightly with both arms.

Feeling the softness from behind once again, Liu Bei smiled to himself.

You think you can mess with me?

Let's see how I handle you!

"Spring Swallow, the downhill slope is a bit long, don't let go! Otherwise you'll fall. Hold on tighter!"

"Oh, okay...okay!" Sure enough, upon hearing this, Zhao Chunyan hugged her even tighter.

Not only her chest, but her entire face was pressed tightly against Liu Bei's back, as if she wanted to stick to Liu Bei and never be separated from him for the rest of her life.

quickly,

The bicycle slid to the bottom of the slope and then started going uphill.

"We're starting uphill, you can't let go!"

"Yes! I won't!" Zhao Chunyan nodded.

At this moment,

She suddenly really liked the feeling of holding Liu Bei.

She hugged his waist, pressed herself against his back, smelled his masculine scent, and touched his firm muscles.

Zhao Chunyan felt that there was no greater happiness than this.

I wish this beautiful moment could last forever.

Zhao Chunyan smiled.

This time, she laughed very, very happily.

quickly,

The bicycle came up.

But Fan Ha'er was still nowhere to be seen.

"Liu Bei, we still haven't seen Ha'er. Could he have taken a different route?" Zhao Chunyan frowned, looking worried.

"This is the only main road back to the village. If he doesn't take this, what other way can he take?"

"Where is he? I haven't seen a trace of him." Zhao Chunyan was very puzzled.

"He was riding alone, and I was giving you a ride. He wasn't carrying anything on his bike, but I was. It's normal for him to ride fast. Don't make wild guesses."

"Oh, is that so...?"

Zhao Chunyan fell into deep thought.

Liu Bei then hummed a little tune:

You ask me how deep my love for you is, and how much I love you.

My feelings are true, my love is true, my feelings are unwavering, my love is eternal, the moon represents my heart...

"Um?"

As she listened, Zhao Chunyan's eyes suddenly lit up.

She never expected that Liu Bei could sing.

Not only does he sing well,

The song's content is also very poetic and picturesque, full of deep emotion.

Especially my love remains unchanged, the moon represents my heart.

Could it be—

Was Liu Bei using his singing to tell me that his love for me is as eternal and unchanging as the moon in the sky?

Does the moon represent my heart?

Zhao Chunyan slowly raised her head and looked up at the vast starry sky.

The moon is not full tonight.

But it resembles a curved hook.

Hanging high above the starry sky,

It is both bright and curved, and looks just like a swing.

It would be so much fun and so wonderful to sit on it and swing around!

I never expected that Liu Bei, who hasn't read many books, could sing such an emotional song.

Does he have the talent of an artist?

……

at the same time,

A human-powered tricycle was parked in the tall grass somewhere along the road.

There was one person sitting in the car.

It was Fan Ha'er.

He is crying right now.

She cried very softly.

But two lines of clear tears kept her cheeks wet.

He dared not cry out loud.

It was because she was afraid that Liu Bei would catch up and hear her.

As I cried, I looked up at the starry night sky, where countless stars twinkled.

"Young lady, have you turned into a star?"

"Which one did you transform into?"

"Oh, I know. It's that... that most beautiful star, it's you, young lady, transformed, isn't it?"

"Young lady, do you appear every night?"

"Young lady, do you want to talk to me?"

"Young lady, what are you saying? I didn't hear you. Speak slowly, let me stand up and get closer to you before we talk!"

"Young lady, I've stood up. Please continue. I'm listening. I..."

"Bang!"

Fan Ha'er lost his footing and fell off the rickshaw.

"Young lady, you...you're so fair-skinned, so soft..."

With a smile, Fan Ha'er drooled and then fainted...
