Reborn at 80: From Village Scoundrel to Billionaire

Liu Bei stood outside Zhao Chunyan's door, staring at the crack in the door for two seconds.

This woman usually sleeps with the door nailed shut, and even with the latch in place, she has to prop it up with a stool.

Today, things are better; a crack has been left.

Then I remembered that she had been peeping at me from the bathroom door that evening, drooling all over her chin, yet she still stubbornly insisted she was just passing by.

His mouth is as sharp as a knife, but at night, his body is more obedient than anyone else's.

He didn't go to the outhouse.

With a gentle push, the door opened silently.

Liu Bei turned around, bolted the door, took off his cloth shoes, and walked to the bedside in three steps.

On the bed, Zhao Chunyan immediately closed her eyes tightly.

I tried to slow my breathing, but the rhythm of my chest rising and falling was much faster than when I was sleeping normally.

Watching this scene,

Liu Bei smiled.

Pack!

Just keep pretending with me!

Just then, a ray of moonlight shone through the small window and fell on Zhao Chunyan.

She was only wearing a red bellyband, her fair shoulders and collarbones were completely exposed.

Especially that pair of baby cafeterias, they're amazing.

He couldn't take his eyes off it, not wanting to look away for even a second.

"Gurgle~"

Liu Bei's Adam's apple bobbed.

Without hesitation, he threw back the corner of the blanket and crawled inside, wrapping one arm around her waist from behind.

Zhao Chunyan's body stiffened instantly.

The next second—

"Who?"

Zhao Chunyan pretended to wake up suddenly, and after slowly opening her eyes and seeing that it was Liu Bei, her face fell, and she raised her leg to kick him in the stomach.

Liu Bei immediately pressed down on her leg with one hand and covered her mouth with the other.

"Shh!!! What are you yelling about? Lin Wanqiu next door has ears as sharp as a rabbit's; she'll wake up if you make a sound. How are you going to explain that to her then?"

"you--"

Zhao Chunyan stared at him, her eyes almost popping out of their sockets.

"At a time like this, you're still pretending with me, huh?" Liu Bei removed his hand from his mouth, smiled, and asked, "Who left the door crack open?"

"snort!"

Zhao Chunyan's face flushed red.

She opened her mouth to curse, but swallowed the words back.

Because Lin Wanqiu does indeed live next door.

If Lin Wanqiu were to hear the commotion, she really wouldn't be able to explain it.

She had already lost face in front of Lin Wanqiu once during the day; she couldn't afford to lose face again.

But we can't let that bastard Liu Bei get away with it!

"Click~"

Zhao Chunyan opened her mouth and bit Liu Bei's left arm.

"Ah—are you crazy? Why are you biting me? You're a zodiac animal—"

Liu Bei's face contorted in pain.

He had just opened his mouth and hadn't finished speaking when Zhao Chunyan covered his mouth.

Zhao Chunyan imitated him, pointing towards the next room.

The meaning is clear: Go ahead and yell. Try yelling once. If you wake up the neighbors, how are you going to explain that to them?

Liu Bei: "..."

Liu Bei swallowed the rest of his words, along with the pain, abruptly.

"Fine, you win!"

"What are you still standing there for? Don't you know what you're supposed to be doing?" Zhao Chunyan was displeased when she saw that Liu Bei hadn't made any move.

"You weren't talking about the neighbors next door..."

Liu Bei pointed to the room next door and explained.

"Are you made of wood? I only said the neighbors next door, I didn't say you can't do anything else! You're really not going to do anything? Hurry up, or I'll bite you again!"

Liu Bei: "..."

This woman's mouth is really hard to deal with.

You were the one who said no, and you were also the one who said yes.

All you're good at is talking.

You're really something.

If it were any other woman, I'd slap her across the face.

Humph! !! !!

"Alright, alright, whatever you say. So, Comrade Zhao Chunyan, are you ready?"

"Comrade Liu Bei, what do you say?" Zhao Chunyan glared at Liu Bei, wishing she could just devour him whole.

"Okay, I understand. Please tell Zhao Chunyan to be kind to me later!"

Zhao Chunyan: "..."

That sounds really strange.

But for a moment, she couldn't remember what was wrong, so she had to give up.

"Alright, hurry up! If we wait any longer, it'll be dawn!"

"Yes, Comrade Zhao Chunyan!"

"You always dawdle when I ask you to do something. Are you even a man? Honestly!"

Zhao Chunyan was very dissatisfied.

Liu Bei: "..."

I've fallen into a den of wolves!

Uh, no, that's not right.

It should be called a tiger's den.

It seems like they're paying off a huge debt from a past life.

Hard times are coming.

well! ! !

……

"Knock knock knock".

"Is someone knocking on the door?"

"Ignore it!" Liu Bei said.

"Um!"

"Knock knock knock knock!"

But the knocking outside grew louder.

"Why don't you go out and take a look?"

"I'm not going."

"If Lin Wanqiu gets up and finds you in my room—"

"..."

Helpless, Liu Bei had no choice but to get off the bed, put on his cloth shoes, and gently loosen the door latch.

For safety's sake, he first peeked around and, finding no one outside, he dared to crouch down and slip out of Zhao Chunyan's room, quickly heading towards the courtyard gate.

"Squeak!"

Liu Bei opened the door. "Who is it?"

Looking outside, he saw that the person standing there was none other than his best friend, Fan Ha'er.

"Hehe, Brother Bei! Good evening!" Fan Ha'er greeted Liu Bei with a smile.

Liu Bei raised an eyebrow. "Hey, what are you doing here in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?"

"Of course it's important!" Fan Ha'er held up one finger. "First, Uncle Tan and Li Dazhuang came to my house tonight. They both want to go up the mountain with you next time."

"Okay, I'll bring them next time."

"When will the next time be?"

"Let's talk about it when it's light. Is there anything else?"

"Yes! Of course!"

Fan Ha'er craned his neck and glanced around the yard, then leaned close to Liu Bei's ear and whispered,

"Brother Bei, are you sharing a room with your wife tonight?"

Liu Bei's eye twitched.

Why are you asking this?

"I'm here to learn from you!" Fan Ha'er said sincerely. "I'll have to get married someday, won't I? I can't be clueless then. The teachers at school all say that one should be eager to learn and ask questions when you don't understand. Brother Bei, you have a lot of practical experience and you can handle all three of your wives. It's not too much to ask me to learn from you, is it?"

Liu Bei: "..."

Hey!

I was just about to go up Tiger Mountain again when you interrupted me. You want to learn from me?

What a load of nonsense!

"roll!!!"

Liu Bei kicked Fan Ha'er in the butt, sending him flying quite a distance.

"boom--"

The door closed.

Fan Ha'er looked at the closed door with a wronged expression, scratched the back of his head, and looked completely puzzled.

"Where did I say something wrong?"

"Didn't the teacher at school say, 'To know what you know, and to know what you don't know, is true knowledge'? I came to ask because I didn't know, so why did I get kicked?"

"Forget it, if Brother Bei won't teach me, I'll go check out other places. Anyway, every household puts on the same show every night. Learning from one place is the same as learning from ten!"

After saying that, he turned and ran into the depths of the village.

In the courtyard, Liu Bei stood behind the door, a surge of anger rising in his chest.

He glanced back in the direction of Zhao Chunyan's room.

The door was bolted from the inside.

They didn't leave him even the slightest opening.

"Damn it! That kid Ha'er ruined our trip to Tiger Mountain again! I wanted to try six more times! Sigh!!!"

Just as Liu Bei was shaking his head and sighing, he caught a glimpse of Lin Wanqiu opening the door, peeking out, looking at him, beckoning, and whispering...

"Come to my room for a moment!"
