Quick Transmigration: My System is a Big Liar

The Lei family's house was probably rebuilt after the fire; it only had three main rooms and a kitchen.

The room was very clean, and the blankets were neatly made, probably because Lei Yucheng had cleaned it yesterday.

Jiang Lan put down her bag and prepared to go to the kitchen to make something to eat. She had barely eaten anything yesterday and was so hungry that she felt like her stomach was sticking to her back. Snacks couldn't fill her stomach at all; they would only make her hungrier.

Lei Yucheng was rolling out noodles in the kitchen when he heard footsteps. He knew who it was and said without turning his head, "Are you hungry? I made noodles, they'll be ready soon."

"Okay, I'll help start the fire."

“Okay.” Lei Yucheng did not refuse.

Jiang Lan sat on a small stool, adding firewood to the stove while openly watching Lei Yucheng roll out noodles.

The sleeves were rolled up high, revealing strong, powerful arms. As the rolling pin was pushed forward, the veins on the arms became particularly prominent.

Further up, you can almost see those strong biceps.

The military green shirt tucked into the military pants outlined a perfect figure, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist. She guessed that there were at least eight-pack abs under the shirt.

I once read a saying that men who do housework diligently are the most handsome, and it's certainly true.

Lei Yucheng felt his face burning under that intense gaze, and he became somewhat awkward.

He noticed that at first, the gaze was just appraising and admiring, but later it became increasingly intense, as if it wanted to tear off his clothes, which frightened him so much that he even held his breath.

"Host, quickly wipe your drool, you're scaring people," Ping An couldn't help but remind him.

Jiang Lan, finding Ping An a nuisance, locked it in a small dark room and continued to admire its beauty.

Lei Yucheng quickly rolled out the noodles and cut them into strips. "Pot, is the pot boiling?"

"Oh! It's open, you can cook the noodles now." Jiang Lan finally realized what was happening, glanced at the steaming pot lid, and nodded repeatedly.

After dinner, Jiang Lan insisted on washing the dishes, but someone beat her to it.

Fine!

It's not that she doesn't want to wash, it's that they won't let her.

Coincidentally, she dislikes washing dishes at all.

Lei Yucheng finished washing the dishes and went out, saying he was going to find someone to discuss repairing the grave.

Jiang Lan was a little full, so instead of going back to her room immediately, she strolled around in the courtyard.

The woman entered the courtyard carrying a basket and greeted Jiang Lan warmly, "Yucheng's wife, you're here!"

Yucheng's wife?

Jiang Lan knew she had misunderstood; "I'm not" his wife yet.

Aunt Lei put the vegetables in the kitchen without a second thought. "I'm Yucheng's second aunt. These are vegetables grown on our own land. I brought some for you. If you finish them, you can pick some yourself. Yucheng knows where to go."

"Oh! Okay." Jiang Lan nodded mechanically.

She wanted to explain, but Aunt Lei left in a hurry, not giving her a chance to explain at all.

Before leaving, Aunt Lei gave you a lot of instructions, "How many days will you stay this time? There are still some pickled vegetables at home, I'll bring you some more later. You rest, let Yucheng do whatever you need to, don't overwork yourself, okay?"

Something about what I'm saying sounds off; it's a bit strange.

Jiang Lan soon found out why.

One after another, aunties and older women came to visit, staring curiously at her belly and constantly asking if she was experiencing severe morning sickness, couldn't eat, how many months pregnant she was, when she got married, and so on.

Jiang Lan then realized that they had misunderstood her, not only her relationship with Lei Yucheng, but also that she was pregnant.

Jiang Lan wondered if she should explain, since they were currently only in a protector-protector relationship.

At this moment, Lei Yucheng returned.

The two locked eyes, and Jiang Lan caught the embarrassment that flashed in his eyes, realizing that this person must have encountered the same problem.

Got it!

She didn't need to explain.

"You're back. I'm a little tired, so I'll go rest for a while. You take care of everyone." After saying that, Jiang Lan left the scene before anyone could react, leaving a group of aunties and grandmas behind with Lei Yucheng.

"Yucheng, you need to talk to your wife. She's pregnant now, so she can't run so fast anymore. The baby is still small, and he can't take this kind of exertion."

"Your parents would be very happy if they could see this day."

"You've finally gotten your happy ending, kid. You'd better treat your wife better from now on."

"Yucheng, your wife has such a sweet voice, you're so lucky."

"..."

Lei Yucheng smiled throughout the entire process, and it was half an hour later that he saw off the enthusiastic aunties and grandmas.

It's not that he doesn't want to explain, it's that he simply can't explain.

Telling the truth would definitely scare the villagers, and in severe cases, it could create unnecessary panic.

If you don't tell the truth, what else can you say?

A man and a woman alone in a room, who would believe they have no relationship?

This is all his fault for not thinking things through and ruining Comrade Jiang's reputation.

After much deliberation, Lei Yucheng decided to talk to Comrade Jiang. If Comrade Jiang was willing, he would take responsibility.

Jiang Lan didn't take the matter to heart, because she would marry Lei Yucheng sooner or later, so she didn't think it was a big deal.

So when Lei Yucheng came in and said he had to take responsibility for ruining her reputation, she was still a little confused.

Are you getting married so soon?

She hasn't done anything yet.

Jiang Lan finally remembered Ping An in the small dark room. [Ping An, what is Lei Yucheng's current affection level towards me?]

[Host, Lei Yucheng's favorability towards you is 55.]

[Okay, you can go back now!]

After getting the answer, Jiang Lan casually locked Ping An in the small dark room, not giving it a chance to speak again.

Hey!

With a favorability rating of 55, that's not low at all.

No wonder Lei Yucheng kept saying he would take responsibility.

Seeing Jiang Lan in a daze, Lei Yucheng assumed she was startled by his sudden words. Considering they hadn't known each other long and didn't know each other well, he introduced himself.

"Lei Yucheng, 30 years old, currently serves as the regimental commander, with a monthly salary of 148 yuan, and currently has no bad habits."

“I got married through a matchmaker, but three years ago my house caught fire and my family perished in the flames. Now I am the only one left in my family.”

At this point, Lei Yucheng's voice choked with emotion.

Jiang Lan wanted to comfort him, but didn't know how. She rolled her eyes and said playfully, "Should I give a self-introduction like you?"

Before Lei Yucheng could answer, she continued,

"Jiang Lan, 24 years old, a rural woman. When she was a child, her hometown suffered a famine. The village chief led the whole village to flee. I got lost on the way and was sold to the Zhang family by human traffickers to be a child bride. At the age of 16, she and Zhang Jianmin held a banquet in the village. Later, the army came to the village to recruit soldiers, and he joined the army."
