Time Travel: Conditional Wealth

The air is filled with moist air and the sound of gurgling water.

After Lu Jinan asked He Xi to put on a bathrobe and take a hot spring bath, he moved to a position away from her. He Xi couldn't help laughing when she saw his distant look.

Lu Jinan's muffled voice came: "He Xi, you don't need to laugh, you will suffer in the future."

He Xi continued to laugh and prepared to run away: "It depends on the situation. Who knows, maybe I won't like you in the future."

"What did you say?" Lu Jinan stood up from the hot spring, raised his voice, and quickened his pace towards He Xi's location. If he was any slower, the little girl would run away.

His movements were getting faster and faster, and water kept splashing around He Xi. She knew he was getting closer and closer, but what could she do? She couldn't run fast. He Xi almost used her hands and feet in the hope of getting out of the water quickly.

Just when He Xi successfully got ashore, Lu Jinan grabbed her bathrobe and successfully brought her back to the hot spring. He Xi fell into his arms uncontrollably.

The aunts, grandmas and young wives in the hot spring on the other side listened attentively to the sounds here, and smiled at each other at the same time after hearing the sound of water splashing just now. Young people are reckless, and they are afraid that others will not know their enthusiasm even though they are making such a big noise outside.

"Let's go. We'll stay here and take a bath often. Let's give up our seats temporarily today." The older lady stood up and said.

The thin-skinned young wife blushed and nodded in agreement. What about the reserve of the times? Getting pregnant before marriage is a serious crime. Should she be reminded that her life would be over if she was taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives?

The aunt saw that her daughter-in-law was kind-hearted, so she helped her once, and said in a voice that was not loud enough for them to hear: "Pay attention, there are people here."

The young wife looked at her old mother-in-law with gratitude.

The old woman looked at her daughter-in-law's blushing face and said that she was useless, saying it was not something she had not experienced before.

Lu Jinan put his hand on He Xi's waist, then tightened it, imprisoning her in a punishing manner, with an ambiguous tone: "If you don't marry me, who else do you want to marry? Tell me and see if I know you, so I can compare my own shortcomings."

"Hmm?" He Xi didn't dare to imagine where she was sitting. She could feel that Lu Jinan did it on purpose. He hugged her from behind and kissed her fair neck gently, and his warm breath fell on her earlobe.

He Xi's body was too soft, and Lu Jinan was caught up in it without realizing it. The body's reaction is always faster than the brain. In addition, He Xi did not reject him like she did last time, so he became bolder.

He Xi screamed twice unconsciously without feeling anything before. Lu Jinan's eyes darkened, his thin lips moved away, his forehead rested on He Xi's shoulder, and he said in a hoarse voice: "I'm sorry, I... I couldn't control myself for a moment."

He Xi's mind was blank. She just felt at ease when she thought it was Lu Jinan, even though her heart was beating nervously "bang... bang... bang..." He didn't have to do anything, He Xi would have scared herself to death.

He Xi said with a disordered breath: "I'm hungry, let's go eat."

Lu Jinan raised his head, his shocked pupils showing his disbelief that such depressing words came from the mouth of someone who was just infatuated.

Is there anything wrong with that? Since he doesn't choose to continue, what else can he do if he's hungry but not eat?

He Xi is a simple, straightforward person who is also overly calm.

The villagers prepared for He Xi the famous dish "Big Harvest" in Mohe City, which can contain any kind of vegetable, including a Northeastern big pot, a chicken pot, and a fish pot.

Lu Jinan was not in a good mood during the meal and looked listless. The lady of the host family instantly understood something. The girl wanted too much and the boy could not give her so much. It was also because young people nowadays were too timid. Thinking back to his uncle in the past... forget it, those were all things of the past.

The old lady looked as if she was thinking about Lu Jinan: "You two can stay at my house tonight and leave tomorrow. You must be tired today." Her hesitant look confused He Xi.

The old man was still hesitating about his wife's decision, how could they sleep in the same room before getting married. The old woman defended them, saying that they were already an engaged couple, and besides, didn't they just meet the elders before? There was no banquet or marriage certificate. The rich ones gave out candies, and the poor ones just covered themselves with a quilt and went to sleep.

The old man nodded and said yes.

After dinner, Lu Jinan lay down on the kang and ignored He Xi, exuding an aura of rejection that said, "Don't bother with me."

He Xi talked to him many times but he didn't respond, and he didn't even bother to look at her. She didn't understand what went wrong? She didn't refuse, and even enjoyed it, but he still acted.

He Xi pulled his hand that was placed on his side and coaxed him in a gentle voice: "What's wrong with you? Is the food not to your liking or something? You didn't seem to be in a good mood when eating."

"Really? Did you notice?" Lu Jinan's voice was muffled in the pillow. "What should I do if my fiancée is so cold?"

"Me?" He Xi began to recall everything that had happened between them from the time they went out today to the time they had dinner, and she didn't find anything that showed her cold attitude.

Lu Jinan raised his upper body and turned to look at He Xi beside him. Seeing her trying hard to recall, he knew that she still hadn't figured it out, so he lay back angrily and buried his face in the pillow again.

Seeing that even if he only turned half of his face, it was enough to confuse girls, He Xi patted his lower back and said, "That's enough. Just say it if you have something to say."

Hearing the sound, Lu Jinan jumped up and looked at He Xi face to face, asking her, "What do you mean you're going to eat?"

After hearing this, He Xi finally understood what Lu Jinan was angry about. How to put it, she was just that kind of person, someone who was not good at expressing her emotions and sometimes too calm.

Lu Jinan's tense jawline revealed his heartache. He reached out and touched He Xi's face. Her original single-parent family had hurt her after all, forcing her to always appear strong to others, unable to express emotions, and even not knowing how to love herself or others.

He was also childish. He clearly knew her story but still insisted on arguing with such a silly girl. She had clearly accepted him in the hot spring, so why was there any reason for him to question or get angry?

Lu Jinan comforted He Xi in turn, his attitude was serious and formal: "It's my fault. From now on, my good brother will teach you how to love someone."

Lu Jinan leaned close to He Xi and kissed her fair cheek, then her lips, then her neck, and then he braked.

The gentle movements turned into a wronged "big wolf dog", with eyes full of deep affection: "Please try to reject me in the future. We are not married yet. I don't want you to be hurt, even by other people's eyes, but I can't control myself."

"Let love take its course."

He Xi slowly lay down and patted the place beside him. Lu Jinan understood and lay down, keeping what he thought was a safe distance, trying his best to restrain the urge to hug her and fall asleep.

He Xi laughed at his restraint: "Okay, since you want to keep your distance, then sleep farther away."

Lu Jinan: "I don't, this distance is just right, why do you care about me."

He Xi: "Okay, never mind you, let's go to sleep."

She really fell asleep, leaving Lu Jinan alone sighing silently. What should he do if his fiancée is too "cold-blooded"?

The only thing to blame is that soaking in the hot springs promoted blood circulation, relieved fatigue, and then made me sleepy.
