Time Travel: Conditional Wealth

The struggle for survival finally came to the third day.

The midsummer sun was strong. The four female comrades were sandwiched in the middle and moved forward. He Xi and Qiao Yue said something from time to time. Song Qin looked like she was worried about something, but the other female comrade was fine.

He Xi, who is smart and considerate, naturally noticed that something was wrong with Song Qin early on, but she just ignored her. She is considerate but not a talker, and it is not good for her to chase others and ask them about their secrets.

Let's wait a little longer. He Xi doesn't believe she can still hide.

"Ah..." A sharp sound came from beside He Xi, and people in front and behind quickly surrounded him.

Lu Jinan was most worried about He Xi. He quickly came to He Xi's side from his position behind the mat. He held He Xi's forearm with both hands and asked, "What's wrong? Are you injured?"

He scanned He Xi with his eyes from front to back, and was relieved to make sure she was not injured. He Xi also held Lu Jinan's arm and said, "I'm fine. It's not me, it's her."

Lu Jinan reluctantly shifted his gaze to the ground, to the female comrade who was sitting on the ground, and at the same time looked at Tang Yan, his eyes telling him: Who do you plan to let help your partner up, or carry her on their back?

No one in the team is stupid. Everyone can see that Tang Yan really likes Song Qin. Their eyes also fall on Tang Yan, but only he knows that Song Qin doesn't like him that much, even though they are in a relationship.

Song Qin didn't look at Tang Yan, but turned to look at Lu Jinan, pretending that she was fine, as if to comfort everyone: "I'm fine, it's just that the road is too slippery."

As she was about to stand up, He Xi looked at Lu Jinan and said sourly, "Why is she looking at you when she talks? You two have such a good relationship, but she has a partner."

Suddenly, the big hand holding He Xi's arm tightened. Lu Jinan looked at He Xi, his narrow eyes revealing true feelings: "Wife, I swear to God, I really have never paid attention to any lesbians except you."

Why did so many people suddenly say this? It made her look jealous. He Xi glared at him and gently pushed him away: "I was just talking. Who asked you to confess?"

Lu Jinan shook his head pitifully: "I must answer every question my wife asks. I must not let my wife get angry, let alone stay angry overnight."

Everyone was stunned when listening to him speak. Mr. Lu, a young and talented man, is actually "henpecked" at such a young age. It seems that the boss's wife will have the final say in the future.

Several people started to make a noise in twos and threes: "Boss Lu is controlled by his wife?" "So when we encounter problems in the future, should we ask you or the boss's wife?" "Does the boss's wife come to work every day?"

The development of the situation was getting more and more away from Song Qin. She withdrew her gaze awkwardly. Tang Yan naturally noticed that she was paying too much attention to Lu Jinan, but he didn't have more evidence. Maybe... maybe he was overthinking it. Who doesn't admire rich people?

Lu Jinan took He Xi's hand and said, "Let's go back. Comrade Song Qin must have sprained her foot. It is definitely not appropriate to go forward. We can't treat them if we stop. The best way now is to go back."

In fact, no one was satisfied, and the journey had just begun. He Xi, who looked the most fragile, was actually the most tenacious and the most prepared. Whether it was the raincoat and medicine on the rainy night or the decisiveness when saving people, they all overturned their understanding of He Xi.

It turns out that they are not relying on each other, but a strong alliance.

Going down the mountain was faster than going up. We reached the foot of the mountain in half a day. At this time, no one had a bike, so all the bikes were stored at the village office. When we went to pick up the bikes, the village chief asked curiously, "You're back so soon. Did you see the places I mentioned?"

He Xi shook his head embarrassedly, failing the kindness of the village chief: "No, some members were injured. One was bitten by a snake, and the other sprained his foot. We have to return."

"What?" The village chief looked at them in panic, "I'll ask the barefoot doctor in the village to pick some herbs for you."

Lu Jinan stopped the village chief and thanked him for his behavior: "No need, we brought snake venom serum and have already given an injection. As for the sprain, you can just go back and take care of it. Thank you for your concern."

"Oh. I see. I'm glad you're alright."

When He Xi and Lu Jinan returned home, it was already late, so they took a shower and went to bed.

No matter how many things she brought up the mountain, they were not as comfortable as the big bed at home. He Xi slept soundly in Lu Jinan's arms.

The next day, life went on as usual.

In the past few years of living with He Xi, Lu Jinan had already consciously cultivated the good qualities of a family "househusband". He opened his eyes, looked at the alarm clock on the bedside, and got up and went into the kitchen.

During working hours, no matter how much He Xi didn't want to get up, she would open her eyes with the alarm clock on the bedside. Lu Jinan got up, but next to her was a red and silver "fur scarf". It was furry and very well-behaved, and felt great to touch. Lu Jinan sometimes also liked to pet the cat.

The dog downstairs, Mianbao, is helping Lu Jinan cook. With him around, Mianbao is always full.

After breakfast, the two of them went to work separately. As family members are alike, they chose to walk to work in order to keep their nice clothes from getting wrinkled, leaving their bicycles at home.

With a guilty conscience, He Xi came to work at the garment factory early. He Fei came to the office just as she arrived. She raised her hand and said to He Xi, "Would you like to eat?"

He Xi had gone to a team building before, leaving all the work to He Fei. Today, she came here specifically to improve her favorability: "I've eaten."

Okay, He Fei nodded. Since both of them were at work, he still had time to get up early and make breakfast for He Xi. He would send her off in the morning, pick her up in the evening, and go home to make dinner.

He Fei once again felt how much Lu Jinan doted on his wife. It was hard enough to get up early for work, but she was also forced to "eat dog food" early in the morning. It was boring, really boring.

The garment factory's business has always been good. As the market continues to expand, their scope of involvement has become wider and wider. On the contrary, Lu Jinan's company is struggling.

Lu Jinan sat on a chair in the conference room, rubbed his brows, and said calmly: "So, you mean that half of the camping lights we brought out were soaked in water?"

The people below hummed in a muffled voice.

After the meeting, Lu Jinan locked himself in the office and did not come out again. Everyone else had already left work, except Lu Jinan and Song Qin.

Song Qin was holding a cup of coffee in her hand. She didn't know why Lu Jinan liked to drink this bitter thing.

She stood at the door and saw Lu Jinan through the office glass. He was wearing a white shirt, his eyes were lowered, his profile was angular, his temperament was cold and noble, and even his hands that were flipping through the papers were bony and handsome.

"Knock knock."

"Please come in."

Song Qin came in with coffee: "Mr. Lu, it's time to get off work."

Lu Jinan looked at the sky outside the window, then at the clock on his desk. It was already so late, so if dinner was not possible, he could ask his wife to order takeout.

"Okay." Lu Jinan responded, picked up the coffee and took a sip, "You should get off work too."

Song Qin pretended to nod and leave, but in fact she was counting the time for the drug to take effect.

As the coffee in the cup became less and less, Lu Jinan felt his consciousness becoming more and more dizzy, and then he fell on the table and lost consciousness.
