1979: My fiancée is a goddess

"Wow..."

The clear river water churned and splashed against the edge of the small wooden boat, breaking into countless sparkling droplets that splashed onto Cheng Kaiyan's face, which was burning hot from the sun.

"Ugh, it's so hot..."

The bone-chilling water flowed down, soaking into my clothes and wetting them.

The sudden coolness made Cheng Kaiyan breathe a satisfied sigh of relief.

My eyes were suddenly filled with water and I couldn't open them.

At this moment, he was holding oars in both hands, rowing rapidly in the river, taking the small boat towards the island in the middle of the river.

I was just about to put it down to wipe my face and take a break.

At this moment, the ship began to rock gently, followed by a somewhat complex fragrance.

With her eyes closed, Cheng Kaiyan's sense of smell became even more acute. It was probably a combination of a delicate and elegant gardenia scent and a cool and rich honey fragrance.

It was Xiaoli and her aunt.

"It's so hot, Kaiyan, what's wrong?"

Liu Xiaoli stepped forward first and wiped Cheng Kaiyan's face. Her delicate fingers touched the burning heat on his face through the thin handkerchief. She was both surprised and a little heartbroken.

"How could it not be hot? The three of you are comfortable inside, while I've been rowing under this blazing sun for almost half an hour!"

Cheng Kaiyan opened her eyes, glared at the girl in front of her with a single ponytail and watery eyes, and said in an annoyed tone.

"Oh, then you should go and rest for a bit, have some water, and eat something."

Liu Xiaoli gently comforted her, reaching out to take the oar from Cheng Kaiyan's hand, and said eagerly, "I'm not afraid of the sun, I'm not afraid of being tired, I'll help you row."

"Uh……"

For a moment, Cheng Kaiyan couldn't tell whether Xiaoli was speaking sincerely or just being tactful. She smiled awkwardly and waved her hand to decline, saying, "Never mind, I'll do it. Otherwise, my Xiaoli will get a tan."

"Uh-huh."

Comrade Xiaoli nodded obediently, a sweet and charming smile on her pretty face. She waved her hand with satisfaction and said, "Come in and rest for a while. We're not in a hurry to go to the island. It'll be quite interesting to just float on the river for a bit."

This time, they rented a fairly large boat on the shore, about four or five meters long and two or three meters wide.

There is a cabin in the middle of the boat that looks like a small house, which can seat four or five people.

Even if four people squeeze in, they can still sleep.

"Ah."

Cheng Kaiyan threw down the oar, rubbing her already sore arms, and followed Liu Xiaoli into the house.

The light suddenly turned cool, and a river breeze rushed in from outside, making everyone feel much cooler.

"Soda."

The beautiful woman sitting opposite me handed me a bottle of soda, speaking sparingly.

"Thank you, Auntie... Haha, I'm exhausted!"

Cheng Kaiyan bit open the bottle cap, tilted her head back, and gulped down a mouthful of water.

Then he took a long breath, leaned back on the floor covered with a blue and white checkered cloth, and his body gradually relaxed.

"Brother-in-law, are you sure you can handle this? We've been sitting here for almost half an hour, why aren't we here yet?"

Liu Xiaoling, a little girl who was perched on the cabin window, looking out at the scenery with her little bottom sticking out, muttered to herself without turning her head.

"Cough cough..."

Cheng Kaiyan almost choked on her soda. What is that brat saying?!

"Almost there, almost there. I just checked, there's still a little distance left."

Liu Xiaoli glanced out the window and said with a smile in her almond-shaped eyes.

Rowing is actually a skill; physical strength is secondary.

This was the first time she had ever seen her seemingly omnipotent Xiao Cheng get into trouble.

No wonder he was so angry when I went to see him earlier!
But now was the perfect time to comfort him. Liu Xiaoli looked at her fiancé with a praising gaze, clapping her hands with a smile.
"However, the wind was quite strong today, the boat was also large, and there were four people on board. It's amazing that Kaiyan was able to row this far in half an hour. You must have had a tough day."

"Ah."

My aunt nodded and clapped in agreement.

"Brother-in-law is the best!"

The little girl was clever, and her sweet words returned. She picked up a piece of jerky and eagerly fed it to Cheng Kaiyan, saying, "Here, brother-in-law, have a piece of jerky to nourish your body!"

"Go! Go! Go!"

Cheng Kaiyan turned his head away in disgust. In the past few days, he had figured out his sister-in-law's personality. She was a woman who could lie to anyone and was very quirky.

Compared to her, Zhan Xinyu is incredibly well-behaved.

"What... I just said one thing, why won't you eat my jerky? You're even more stingy than my aunt!"

Liu Xiaoling pouted and muttered something, then reluctantly took the food back and ate it herself.

The beautiful woman sitting to the side was also caught in the crossfire and gave him a cold glance.

The little girl shrank back in fright, quickly and obediently covering her mouth with one hand and waving the other, her eyes conveying a pleading, "I won't do it again, I won't do it again."

"hehe."

Liu Xiaoli found it amusing, and seeing the three of them bickering and joking around made her feel quite content.

Opportunities for a family to travel together like this are rare.

Everyone in front of her is an important person in her life. Even though she only sees them a few times a year, she still hopes that they can get along well.

Laughter and playfulness are the best ways to bring people closer together.

I sat in the cabin for a while, not sure if the wind direction had changed or what.

The boat jolted as if it had hit something underwater, causing the entire vessel to rock violently and the people on board to sway and stagger.

Dizzy, everyone propped themselves up on their arms and looked out the window.

I noticed the outline of a small island clearly visible outside the window, and flocks of birds fluttering their wings as they flew through the lush green forest.

They actually sat there for a while and ended up on the shore of the island.

"We're here! We've finally arrived. Did the wind bring us here?"

Liu Xiaoling ran out happily, shouting as she went.

"Be careful, don't fall, the water outside isn't shallow!"

Liu Xiaoli quickly called out to her younger sister.

The boat stopped at the shore, but there was still more than ten meters of water between it and the actual land. However, the water was shallow, about half a calf deep.

"Let's get off the boat, Kaiyan. Stop the boat properly so it doesn't get blown away. Let's take our things down first."

Liu Xiaoli and her aunt packed up their things on the boat, carrying two bundles, and went up to the deck.

Cheng Kaiyan followed behind, carrying the anchor.

At this moment, Liu Xiaoling was already standing in the water, happily kicking the water with her white little feet, having a great time.

Liu Xiaoli rolled up her skirt, revealing her fair, slender thighs. She gathered the skirt in her hands, extended her delicate feet clad in strappy sandals, and jumped into the water.

With a "splash," water splashed out.

Having practiced dance since childhood, Xiaoli, with her exceptional body control and balance, stood steadily in the water.

She even tiptoed, stepping on a small, smooth pebble, and gracefully twirled around in the water.

My aunt seemed much more reserved, bending over to tuck her trouser legs up, revealing her calves that gleamed with a cool, jade-like sheen in the sunlight.

Then, tentatively, one foot slowly peeked out into the water, its slender toes, like tender lotus roots, gently touching the surface.

The water was icy cold, and the ripples were gentle.

The moment the foot touched the woman's soft, delicate skin, her body tensed up instinctively.

With a whoosh, water droplets fell from her toes, and the beautiful woman pulled her foot back.

"Come down, Auntie, the water is shallow."

Liu Xiaoli stood in the water and waved encouragingly.

"You go first, I'll wait for Xiaoyan."

The beautiful woman reached out to steady herself on the cabin floor, speaking calmly and casually as she gently shook the water off Leng Bailian's feet.

"Alright then, you can have Kaiyan support you for a bit later."

Liu Xiaoli hugged the package in her arms tightly and stared at her aunt strangely for a while.

Is my aunt scared?
The thought flashed through her mind for a moment, and she quickly put it out of her mind.

How could that be? Who is my aunt?

How could I be afraid?
However, did my aunt go into the water when we were playing in the pond behind our old home in Fangshan last summer?
Liu Xiaoli turned and walked towards the shore, reminiscing about the beautiful memories of the past.

"It seems not."

Cheng Kaiyan remembers clearly that he, his mother, and his aunt did not go into the water.

and so……

My aunt is a little afraid of water?

What a contrast, Auntie!
Cheng Kaiyan was amazed when she came to this conclusion.

He turned and smiled as he looked at the beautiful woman who seemed to be waiting for him, carefully observing her expression.

Hmm, he does look like he's just putting on a show of calm!
"Ok?"

Cheng Kaiyan's gaze made Jiang Ting's expression somewhat unnatural, and she frowned and urged him on.

"OK OK."

Cheng Kaiyan threw the anchor into the water, where it got stuck on a large rock. After a couple of tugs, it was firmly secured.

Then he walked up to the beautiful woman, picked up the bundle at her feet, jumped off the boat first, and then reached out his hand: "Come down, I'll help you."

"..."

The beautiful woman raised her hand in mid-air, then lowered it back down.

She lowered her eyes and gazed at the man standing in the water, pursing her lips, hesitant to speak.

"What's wrong, Auntie? Come down here quickly!" Cheng Kaiyan saw it clearly and asked loudly on purpose.

"Xiao Yan...you..."

The beautiful woman clutched the hem of her clothes and called out Cheng Kaiyan's name. On her usually cold and dignified, exquisitely beautiful oval face, a rare hint of shyness and embarrassment appeared.

She gently bit her lip with her pearly white teeth, unsure of what to say.

"What's wrong with me? Hurry up and get down, stop dawdling!"

A surge of revenge welled up in Cheng Kaiyan's heart, and she urged him on.

Hear this.

The beautiful woman subconsciously raised her wet, delicate foot and stomped it, her eyes flashing with intense shame and indignation, causing her full, plump breasts to rise and fall.

She gritted her teeth and commanded in a cold voice, "Cheng Kaiyan! You, you come and carry me!"

"Carry you on my back? That's not a good idea."

Cheng Kaiyan scratched her face, which was itchy from the sun, and said somewhat awkwardly.

"A teacher for a day is a mother for life. It's nothing for you to carry me, your teacher, on your back once."

Jiang Ting suppressed the pounding emotions and shame in her heart, and maintained a calm demeanor as she spoke.

However, the delicate skin beneath the shirt and black trousers was already flushed red with embarrassment, especially the jade-like ears hidden by the dark hair, which were already dripping with blood.

I just don't know what caused the reaction.

"Okay, okay, Professor Jiang Ting."

Cheng Kaiyan walked over with her head down and eyes downcast, then turned around, bent over, assumed a horse stance, and pretended to carry someone on her back.

The beautiful woman behind him breathed a sigh of relief and walked to Cheng Kaiyan's side with satisfaction.

She took several deep breaths, patted her soft heart with her slender, pale hands to calm herself down, and then reached out a pair of snow-white arms to wrap around Cheng Kaiyan's neck.

The cool skin touched Cheng Kaiyan's neck, and the burning heat made the beautiful woman's heart tremble.

The beautiful woman gritted her teeth and quickened her movements, rising on her wet toes, her voluptuous and proud upper body pressing against Cheng Kaiyan's firm back without any obstruction.

Although the weight made the beautiful woman feel a little breathless, the sense of security and happiness from being carried so steadily and firmly on her back was an unparalleled enjoyment.

In an instant, she felt as if she had returned to that cold, rainy night last year, that terrifying night in the dark, deep mountains and forests.

Jiang Ting was in a daze.

Unaware for a moment, Cheng Kaiyan lifted the beautiful woman's round buttocks with his large hand.

The sudden movement and loss of weight caused the dazed woman's arms, which were wrapped around her neck, to loosen, and her proud upper body suddenly leaned back, about to fall into the water.

"Ah! Xiao Yan, save me!"

The beautiful woman immediately cried out in surprise, her voice unusually panicked.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Kaiyan quickly reacted and used one hand to block the beautiful woman's leaning back.

They narrowly averted the terrifying prospect of the beautiful woman falling into the water and getting soaked.

At this moment, Jiang Ting hurriedly hugged Cheng Kaiyan's neck tightly, and her two plump and slender legs, like two white jade snakes, wrapped around his waist in a flash.

"Whoosh..."

The beautiful woman, still in shock, gasped for breath, her full heart pressing against Cheng Kaiyan's back with each breath.

After she came to her senses, Jiang Ting realized just how embarrassing her behavior had been!
A nameless rage surged within him, his dark phoenix eyes filled with utter shame and indignation. He raised his hand and pinched Cheng Kaiyan's arm hard, his voice as cold as ice as he rebuked her:

"Cheng Kaiyan! Do you want to get your hands slapped again?!"

"My God! I really didn't mean it, this is such an unexpected disaster!"

Cheng Kaiyan gasped, feeling utterly devastated.

Hear this.

For some reason, the beautiful woman let out another trembling moan.

The muscles of the delicate body pressed against Cheng Kaiyan's back were tense, and the thighs and arms wrapped around her waist and neck tightened even more, almost choking Cheng Kaiyan to the point of passing out!
……

ten o'clock.

They had already found a grassy area on the shore, shaded by trees and with a cool climate.

My aunt and Xiaoli are setting up camp, building a fire, and preparing to cook.

Cheng Kaiyan sat by the river, wearing a sun hat and fishing with a rod.

Hoping to catch a big fish soon so I can please my aunt.

However, perhaps because the little girl next to me was too noisy, the float didn't move at all after sitting for more than ten minutes.

His sister-in-law was sitting next to him on a small stool, watching him fish.

They look cute and adorable, but beneath the water's surface, two small, white, round feet are kicking and thrashing about on the pebbles in the river, not at all still!
That's probably why I haven't caught a single fish yet.

Cheng Kaiyan kept cursing in her heart.

"Brother-in-law, why is Auntie ignoring you again?"

"What did you do to offend her this time? Let me tell you, don't let your aunt's cold, dignified, elegant, intellectual, poised, beautiful, and generous appearance fool you..."

The sister-in-law, looking utterly bored, rested her chin on her hand and muttered some nice things about her aunt.

"But what?"

Cheng Kaiyan pressed for an answer.

"But she's really stingy...right, brother-in-law!"

Liu Xiaoling glanced back guiltily, trying to win over Cheng Kaiyan.

"No...you don't understand. To other people, being stingy is a flaw, but to my aunt, it's an adorable trait."

Cheng Kaiyan shook her head firmly and explained earnestly.

"Cute points?"

Liu Xiaoling tilted her head, not quite understanding.

"That's what's so adorable about her. Don't you find it cute that the usually cold, dignified, meticulous, and stunningly beautiful ice queen professor is actually quite stingy and a little afraid of water behind the scenes?!"

Cheng Kaiyan patiently taught her sister-in-law obscure facts that didn't belong to this era.

"Afraid of water?! You're saying your aunt is afraid of water!"

The sister-in-law's eyes lit up, as if she had thought of a good idea, and a look of eagerness appeared on her face.

I advise you to calm down!

Cheng Kaiyan clicked her tongue and quickly pulled back her sister-in-law, who was about to do something reckless.

But they couldn't stop her; the girl, like a runaway horse, galloped off.

Five minutes later, she returned with red palms and tears streaming down her face.

"Hahaha! Serves you right!"

Cheng Kaiyan laughed uncontrollably, mocking him mercilessly.

"Waaah... I said my brother-in-law told me."

The little girl covered her eyes and mumbled softly through her fingers.

"you you you!"

……

have lunch.

Cheng Kaiyan, who didn't catch a single fish, and Liu Xiaoling, who got half her clothes wet while playing in the water, were mistreated.

When the food was being served, the two looked at the cornbread and pickled vegetables in their bowls and felt like crying.

It was Comrade Xiaoli who pleaded with them on their behalf.

The icy beauty with a cold face finally took pity on them and reluctantly gave them both a Harbin red sausage to eat.

They were the two of them who cleaned up after the meal.

After lunch, everyone went back to the boat and huddled together to lie down for a while.

They chatted and laughed, joking and laughing, and it was quite lighthearted and happy.

In the afternoon, Liu Xiaoli led everyone on a tour of the island. This island is actually called Sun Island. It is very large and was developed by the Russians a long time ago.

Russian-style cadre sanatorium, educated youth restaurant, workers' club, hydrological observation station, Baiye Church, Soviet-built underground war fortress...

These buildings offer beautiful views, but many of them will be damaged and disappear in the future.

Everyone took photos and checked in to commemorate the occasion.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, we took advantage of the favorable wind and rowed back.

This time it was much faster; we reached the other side in just over ten minutes.

"Xiao Yan".

On the shore, Jiang Ting called out to Cheng Kaiyan.

"what happened again?"

Cheng Kaiyan scratched her head, wondering if she was about to hit someone.
"Come out with me the day after tomorrow?"

Jiang Ting's eyes were not cold; on the contrary, they were very gentle and peaceful.

"I'll go with you, but where are you planning to go?"

Cheng Kaiyan nodded and asked.

"go home."

The beautiful woman gave a brief reply.

After saying that, without waiting for Cheng Kaiyan's reaction, she twisted her slender waist, turned around cleanly and neatly, and left to face the crimson sunset and the clouds.

Her loose trousers fluttered in the wind, and her dark hair, which had somehow come undone, flew wildly in the river breeze.

"Is she going home? Where is her home?"

Cheng Kaiyan gazed at her back, which possessed an indescribable air of elegance and freedom, her mind racing with thoughts as she murmured softly. (End of Chapter)
