Time Travel: Conditional Wealth

hot?

It was like being trapped in the Flaming Mountain and there was no way to escape. Every inch she moved the Flaming Mountain followed her.

The feeling of being scorched by the Flaming Mountain really burned He Xi's skin. She even felt that every pore was losing water and the water in her blood was almost evaporated. Her whole body was resisting the approach of the Flaming Mountain.

He Xi had another nightmare. She dreamed that the Flaming Mountain opened its huge mouth like magma and rushed towards her, muttering: "He Xi, you thief, do you think you can rest easy with your stolen life? You are dreaming, I will keep watching you."

"Who? Who are you? I haven't stolen anyone's life, so don't even think about hurting me." He Xi was wearing a suspender nightgown, barefoot, with all her exposed skin scratched. She was running desperately in front, chasing after the flames relentlessly.

"Go away, get out of here. I didn't steal anyone's life. I am also a victim. Get out of here." He Xi stumbled to avoid the swallowing mouth of the Flaming Mountain, but in front of the behemoth, He Xi's long legs turned into short legs. How could he escape from its big mouth? He Xi shouted when he was about to be swallowed by it.

"Ah..." She broke free from Lu Jinan's arms, sat up in panic, and took deep breaths, trying to get rid of the fear. She was in a state of panic.

"Click." Lu Jinan turned on the warm yellow light on the bedside. The light instantly illuminated the surrounding vision. He Xi instinctively used its light to explore all the visible places in the room.

Lu Jinan's big hand silently touched He Xi's back, startling her and making her scream again: "Ah..."

Her face was filled with fear and anger. She glared at him and said, "It's not like I didn't prepare a room for you. Why do you have to sleep together in the hot summer? Are you trying to scare me to death?"

Lu Jin settled down and looked at her. The two of them stared at each other for a few seconds. He said in a soft tone, "I'm sorry, I... scared you."

He Xi's voice was obviously much weaker: "I... there has always been a flaming mountain chasing me. It wants to devour me, and I can't escape it. It turns out to be you."

Lu Jinan opened his mouth: "My fault."

He Xi became even angrier. He was clearly not at fault, so why was he always the one to apologize? He Xi turned around and knelt on the bed, raised her hand and touched Lu Jinan's face. He took the opportunity to touch her palm and said, "You are not wrong. You don't need to apologize. It's my fault for not being able to control my emotions."

Lu Jinan raised his hand and pinched He Xi's cheek: "Well, so you have to remember to compensate me. Your cold attitude just now scared me, and the look in your eyes is scary."

He Xi's expression was a little awkward: "It's because your Flaming Mountain is going to swallow me up."

Lu Jinan curled his lips and said, "Yes, I want to tear you apart and eat you."

He Xi crawled away from him: "You, you, you."

"You must be hungry. I'll go heat up some food." Lu Jinan looked a little depressed.

"Okay, thank you, husband."

Lu Jinan paused as he got out of bed and chuckled helplessly: "You are the typical one who gives a sweet date after a slap in the face. Okay, wait."

The food was ready and just needed to be heated up. We asked them to prepare the food so that we could have a sumptuous meal in the middle of the night.

He Xi tidied things up briefly and went downstairs, where she started to work at the refrigerator, buying whatever was good and whatever was expensive, trying to make up for the regrets of her previous life in this one.

Kung Pao Chicken, Stir-fried Pork with Green Peppers, Scrambled Eggs with Tomatoes, Dipped Pickles, and Old Hen Soup, all looked delicious. He Xi had actually been hungry for a long time, otherwise the Flaming Mountain in her dream would not have caught up with her so quickly. Hunger was part of the reason.

"Hubby, how come you are so great? You can cook delicious dishes and even make soup. I am so lucky to have you." He Xi's voice was sweet and pleasant, but she used a tone that she was not good at to act coquettishly. Lu Jinan enjoyed it very much, but he still had to keep up appearances.

Lu Jinan laughed briefly. It was not the time for her to be mean to herself. She still had the temper of a child. Sometimes she looked like a cat, sometimes like a dog, and all her worries were written on her face.

In his previous life, he thought that all the compliments to him were just Tao Xing pretending to achieve her own goals. She did so and always pretended to be very good in front of their parents until her brother had serious financial problems and everything changed.

Save? How to save a bottomless pit?

In the end, he was saved.

Under the warm yellow light, Lu Jinan smiled happily.

The next morning, the phone in the living room rang. When He Xi was given a phone by the system sign-in, she was so angry that she wanted to smash it. Who was she to have the right to install a phone?

What's the use of installing it? Can it still make calls and receive calls like the phone at the post office in their town?

The phone is ringing? He Xi was extremely shocked when he heard the phone ringing. It rang, who called? He reached out to touch the place behind him, but it was empty. He must have gotten up. After all, his exercise was much more regular than He Xi's.

Just as I walked down the stairs, I saw Lu Jinan leaning on the sofa, crossing his legs and answering the phone. One hand was resting on the armrest of the sofa to answer the phone, and the other hand was holding a coffee cup. I couldn't see his expression, but he said in a low voice: "Well, I'll go back as soon as possible."

Go back? Go back to Beijing?

The other party was obviously still talking. He suddenly frowned and said in a cold and distant tone: "I said not to implicate them. Have you forgotten what I said?"

Both parties were silent for a long time, and then Lu Jinan said the last sentence and hung up the phone: "Okay, I got it."

Back to Beijing, but his attitude was too cold and distant, without a trace of smile. Was it a call from Beijing? Who could make him look so dull so early in the morning?

He Xi slowly went downstairs, put her arms around Lu Jinan's neck from behind through the back of the sofa, and said in an intimate tone: "Does the phone really work?"

Lu Jinan put on a warm expression: "Shouldn't you ask me which wild woman I talked to on the phone so early in the morning?"

"Nonsense, you're not that kind of person."

He told He Xi that there was a problem with the black market business in Beijing. Jin San was arrested for speculation, and the people in the black market wanted my family to come forward to protect Jin San. He disagreed. There had been no official rectification of the chaos yet, and he could not bear the responsibility if his family was implicated.

So he needs to go back to Beijing soon and hopes He Xi will go with him.

Hearing this, He Xi began to worry: "I'm afraid it won't work. My sister promised my dad that she would go back during the holidays. She will leave in the next two or three days."

Lu Jinan said sullenly: "Okay, I'll go back by myself, and you just wait for Tao Xing to harass me."

He gradually regained his stern profile. After a while, He Xi sighed softly, "It really can't be done. My grandfather is making trouble again. My dad can't handle it alone, and He Fei can't handle it either. Also, there are some problems with the fruit trees that were transplanted last year. I..."

Lu Jinan stood up and stared at her, his eyes darkening. He felt there was no hope. He seemed to be comforting He Xi or even more so himself: "Separation is for a better reunion."

The distance between them was shortened, their foreheads touching, and he stroked the back of He Xi's neck: "How about you let me eat before you leave?"

He Xi: "Not so good?"

Lu Jinan: "Hmm? Do you have any objection?"

He Xi: "That's a big opinion."

"invalid objection."

"Oh, I don't."

"It's no use being a spoiled brat, but...stay in bed and coax me."
