Shao Wanwan smiled when she heard these sincere yet slightly teasing words.

Speaking of maturity, Jiang Zheyuan looked at himself in the mirror with a guilty conscience.

Indeed, I am young. If I looked at myself at the age I was on the day I died, I would be considered an immature child.

On the day of his rebirth, he was excited because, in his old age, although he possessed wealth and status, his joints began to ache, his eyesight began to decline, and some parts of his body had long since become unusable.

No matter how much you exercise, you can only slow down the aging process, not prevent it from happening.

No one can truly go back to being in their early twenties.

Now he's back, back to the prime of his life, but inside he's a prematurely aged version of himself.

He was actually a little worried about whether he could satisfy Shao Wanwan on their wedding night.

Jiang Zheyuan rubbed his face again, realizing he had gotten a little off track.

After Shao Wanwan and Jiang Zheyuan finished getting ready, the customer service representative noticed that they had come down side by side and reminded them, "Sir, Madam, if you bring your marriage certificate in the future, we can arrange a room for you. This is the order from above, not something we're doing to make things difficult for you."

The receptionist seems to be afraid of receiving complaints. Seeing them like this, I'm worried they'll get even angrier when they get home and end up complaining again.

That cautious tone made Jiang Zheyuan and Shao Wanwan feel like they had done something wrong.

Although Jiang Zheyuan did book two rooms, one of them was indeed vacant. However, they didn't do anything. Shao Wanwan drank a few more glasses of fruit wine, and unexpectedly, it had a strong aftereffect. Jiang Zheyuan must have been taking care of her the whole time.

The two of them left the hotel with extremely unnatural steps. After getting into Jiang Zheyuan's car, Shao Wanwan couldn't help but burst into laughter.

The receptionist's expression was a mix of grievance and gossip.

"I bet as soon as we leave, they'll assume we're students, or maybe we're up to no good," Shao Wanwan said as she tore open a packet of dried figs and ate some.

"You didn't see how embarrassed I was yesterday when I said I wanted to book a hotel room but couldn't produce my marriage certificate. I felt like I was about to do something really bad. But their sense of responsibility did remind us that we should hurry up and get our marriage certificate."

Shao Wanwan nodded.

"A good KTV is really good. The fruit wine I drank last night was so delicious, especially the lychee flavor. It wasn't too sweet, but it had the fragrance of lychee. The alcohol taste was also very light. I didn't feel anything when I drank it. After a few glasses, I was a little dizzy." Shao Wanwan smacked her lips with reminiscence.

"You didn't just drink a few glasses yesterday, you drank twelve! Six glasses of lychee wine, two glasses of orange wine, and four glasses of plum wine. We couldn't stop you," Jiang Zheyuan joked with a smile.

Shao Wanwan pouted, "Try it sometime when you're not driving. I guarantee you'll love it, maybe even more than me!"

A little while later, she saw her drunken face in the vanity mirror in the passenger seat.

Not only are her dark circles very noticeable, but her usually plump lips also look a bit grayish.

"When Grandma sees this later, she'll definitely ask me if I'm not feeling well. My face looks utterly miserable." After saying that, Shao Wanwan took out a lipstick, quickly applied it, pursed her lips, and asked Jiang Zheyuan if her lip color looked better while waiting for the traffic light.

Jiang Zheyuan suddenly froze, then leaned over and kissed him.

"I didn't ask you to kiss me, I'm asking if my lip color looks better?" Shao Wanwan was speechless.

"Really? That's what you mean! Then I misheard you, I thought you told me to kiss you." Jiang Zheyuan smiled slightly, and Shao Wanwan was about to hit him when Jiang Zheyuan shrugged, "The light's green, I'm going to drive."

The two were arguing back and forth when Tiger called. Jiang Zheyuan, who was driving, put the call on speakerphone.

Tiger said, sounding aggrieved, "Lu Qin slept with me and then denied it. Dude, what should I do? You know I like Lu Qin, right? I've liked her since I was little. But she doesn't like me, she likes you. I know I can't compare to you, so I didn't dare to say anything. Now you have a sister-in-law, and things have finally turned around. I thought I had a chance, but we parted ways at the hotel. I hailed a taxi for her, and just as I was about to get to the passenger seat, she told the driver to drive off, leaving me alone at the hotel entrance."

Then she stopped contacting me. She wouldn't answer my calls, and she would avoid me when I went to see her.

I'm really scared, buddy. I'll pay you back, but tell me what to do! I've met your girlfriend, and she seems pretty smart and hard to win over. What method did you use? Can you tell me?

Tiger poured out his heart, ignoring Jiang Zheyuan's coughs and interruptions.

The world only quieted down when Jiang Zheyuan couldn't listen anymore and hung up the phone.

"Why did you hang up on Hu Zi?" Shao Wanwan was surprised; Jiang Zheyuan didn't seem like such an impatient person.

“If I don’t hang up, he can talk for another two hours. He’s been like this since he was a child. He just wants to say whatever he wants and doesn’t care whether others are listening or not. If you hang up, he’ll call back a while later. Just ignore him.” Jiang Zheyuan was also exhausted by this.

Shao Wanwan suppressed a laugh and said seriously, "That's because he trusts you. From childhood to adulthood, only when he talks to you on the phone does he know that you won't laugh at him and will solve his problems. He probably didn't expect that I would overhear such an embarrassing phone call. I'll extort a meal from him sometime."

Jiang Zheyuan never expected that Hu Zi and Lu Qin would develop to this point in this life.

A person who has lived a full life knows the fate of everyone around them like the back of their hand. It is precisely because of this knowledge that they feel an invisible responsibility.

Tiger's unrequited love in his previous life wasn't as extreme as Lu Qin's.

But in her previous life, Lu Qin was truly alone until the end, always saying she was waiting for someone when asked.

Who are they waiting for? The answer is self-evident.

Everyone in her circle of acquaintances jokingly calls Lu Qin a lovesick fool.

He has always regretted not rejecting her sooner, not making things clear to her sooner.

So this time he seized the opportunity and refused directly.

Unexpectedly, this triggered a chain reaction.

He didn't know if Lu Qin and Hu Zi would be any different from their previous life, or if their story would develop differently, but he was still gratified that at least Lu Qin had a new story.

She won't just waste her time on someone who doesn't love her.

"Are you worried about Lu Qin? What if she does something rash?" Shao Wanwan asked with some concern.

Lu Qin is actually a very poignant character. Those who have actually read the whole book don't know whether to criticize her for not understanding what it means to be a married man, or to say that her devotion is rare and admirable.
