Rebirth of Bloody Romance

During the school's final exams, Professor Yue, knowing how hard Zhong Yuemin had worked during this period, specially exempted him from the tasks of invigilation and marking papers.

As a result, Zhong Yuemin was able to immerse himself in the relaxed atmosphere of the holiday in advance. The long-lost leisure in his heart was like the warm sunshine in spring, slowly filling his heart.

Zhong Yuemin stood in the slightly empty office, looking out the window at the gradually quiet campus, with a faint smile on his lips.

Then, Zhong Yuemin began to pack his things. Each item carried the memory of this period, whether happy or sad.

Now, they will be temporarily sealed with the coming of the holiday. Zhong Yuemin plans to take these things home, so that they will not be forgotten in the corner and tainted with the musty smell of time during the long summer vacation.

Xie Min said sourly: "Xiao Zhong, Professor Yue is so nice to you! You don't have to supervise the exam, and you don't have to mark the papers."

There was a hint of jealousy and dissatisfaction in Xie Min's tone, as if she felt that her work arrangement was unfair.

Zhong Yuemin smiled and responded, "Big sister! You can't just see the thief eating meat and not see the thief being beaten! Some time ago, I was exhausted all day long, only because I am in good health, otherwise I would have collapsed from exhaustion."

Zhong Yuemin tried to explain his previous efforts and hoped that Xie Min could understand that his current ease was not accidental.

Xie Min disagreed and continued, "Xiao Zhong, you are taking advantage of me. We all know that Professor Yue values ​​you, but there is no need to show off like this."

Zhong Yuemin shook his head helplessly, thinking that these people were really hard to please. He had originally just wanted to respond to Xie Min's jealousy in a humorous way, but he didn't expect it to cause more misunderstandings. It seems that it is not easy to keep a low profile in this complex network of interpersonal relationships.

Despite this, Zhong Yuemin decided not to argue with Xie Min any further.

After all, everyone has different views and attitudes towards work. He believes that as long as he continues to work hard and proves his value with practical actions, he will eventually be recognized by everyone.

So, Zhong Yuemin smiled and changed the subject and started discussing other things.

The afterglow of the setting sun cast its light on the way home. Zhong Yuemin, carrying his heavy luggage, set out on his journey home.

The outline of the courtyard gradually became clear in the sunset, and a warm feeling of home came over him. The moment he opened the door, he was stunned - his wife Zhou Xiaobai had returned early and was busy in the kitchen with his mother-in-law Chen Yijun, and the sound of pots and pans colliding intertwined into a cheerful symphony.

The old man Zhong Shanyue and Zhou Zhennan were sitting in the living room, sipping tea and chatting. The occasional laughter filled the whole yard with warmth.

"Dad!" A small figure suddenly appeared in front of Zhong Yuemin. It was Xiao Shihua. She stared at the bags in her father's hand with her big eyes curiously. "Why did you bring back so many things?"

Zhong Yuemin squatted down, gently touched his daughter's head, and said with a smile: "Because Daddy is on vacation! Starting tomorrow, I can accompany you and your brother. Are you happy?"

Xiao Shihua's eyes lit up, and she came over to help Zhong Yuemin get his things. "Then Dad, can we go play together when we have a holiday?"

Xiao Haichen asked anxiously, "Are we going to the river to catch small fish?"

Zhong Yuemin smiled and rubbed Xiao Shihua's soft head, his eyes full of doting.

Xiao Shihua immediately became like a happy little bird, chattering around Zhong Yuemin non-stop, sharing interesting things in school. And Xiao Haichen began to talk about the new knowledge he had learned in kindergarten.

Zhong Yuemin smiled and answered gently, "Of course, whatever you two want to do, Dad will accompany you."

In the kitchen, Zhou Xiaobai heard the conversation between the father and daughter, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously, and the spatula in his hand also increased the rhythm of stir-frying. Chen Yijun helped to cut vegetables, occasionally looking up at the living room, his eyes full of satisfaction for this harmonious family.

At this time, Zhou Xiaobai poked his head out of the kitchen, looked at the father and daughter with a smile, and said jokingly, "Oh, our busy man finally has time to spend time with the children. It's really rare!"

Zhong Yuemin heard this and pretended to be wronged: "Wife, you are wronging me. I came back as soon as the get out of class was over. From now on, I will accompany you and the children every day, okay?"

Zhou Xiaobai chuckled, his eyes full of tenderness. "Okay, keep your word. Make us a delicious meal tonight to celebrate your holiday!"

Zhong Yuemin agreed readily. "No problem, look at my specialty!" As he said that, he rolled up his sleeves and prepared to go into the kitchen to help.

In the living room, Zhong Shanyue and Zhou Zhennan listened to the laughter in the kitchen and smiled at each other. Zhong Shanyue took a sip of tea and said leisurely, "Yuemin is finally a little less worrying for me."

Zhou Zhennan smiled. "Old Zhong, I think Yuemin is pretty good! Are you asking too much of him?"

Xiao Shihua pulled her brother Xiao Haichen to join the conversation and announced excitedly, "Grandpa, grandpa, dad said he would take us to many places to play!"

The two old men laughed even more happily. Zhong Shanyue looked at his grandchildren lovingly. "Then you better be obedient."

Little Haichen blinked his big eyes and nodded seriously. "We will, Grandpa! I will also help grandma with the housework."

"Really? Xiao Haichen is really amazing."

For a moment, the courtyard was filled with warmth and joy, as if even the air had become sweet.

At the dinner table, Zhong Yuemin's words suddenly broke the original warm atmosphere. He asked Zhong Shanyue and Zhou Zhennan curiously and with a little confusion, "Dad, why did you two old people come back so early today? And Xiaobai, you came back early today too?"

As soon as the words fell, the whole table seemed to be paused, and even the air froze a little. Xiao Shihua and Xiao Haichen also felt the change in the atmosphere. They stopped playing and sat there obediently, with doubts flashing in their big eyes.

Zhou Xiaobai lowered her head, her long hair covering half of her face, making it impossible to see her expression. One could only see her slender fingers tightly twisted together, as if she was thinking about something unspeakable.

When Zhong Yuemin saw this, his heart skipped a beat. He realized that something must have happened that he didn't know about.

Zhong Yuemin put down his chopsticks and asked in a gentler tone, "Dad, Xiaobai, what happened? Don't hide it from me. We are a family and we will face any difficulties together."

After Zhong Shanyue and Zhou Zhennan looked at each other, Zhong Shanyue said, "Yuemin, we have discussed it. For Xiaobai's future, we plan to transfer Xiaobai out."

"What the hell?" Zhong Yuemin jumped up from his chair when he heard this. The so-called external transfer means transferring officials from the capital to serve in local areas.

Seeing this, Zhong Shanyue glared at him in dissatisfaction. "Why are you so excited?"

"Dad, Xiaobai has only been working for a few years? And the child is still so young!" Zhong Yuemin said with a look of confusion.

Zhong Shanyue said earnestly, "Yuemin, if Xiaobai wants to go further, this step must be taken, and the sooner the better. As for the child, don't we still have you?"

Well, once Zhong Shanyue said this, his reason was really strong.

So, Zhong Yuemin turned to Zhou Xiaobai and asked, "Wife, what do you think?"

Zhou Xiaobai hesitated for a moment, and finally said softly, "I...I'll listen to you."

When Zhong Shanyue heard Zhou Xiaobai's slightly hesitant answer, he felt a little anxious, fearing that Zhong Yuemin might do something bad.

Then he turned to Zhong Yuemin and said in a stronger tone, "Zhong Yuemin, I'm telling you, you can't become a stumbling block on Xiaobai's path forward. She has the ability and the opportunity. If you dare to stop her from making progress, I will never forgive you!"

Zhou Zhennan was thinking about whether he could keep his youngest daughter by his side. But after taking the medicine given by Zhong Yuemin, he and his wife Chen Yijun have been in great health, as if they were 20 years younger.

Moreover, as a young person, Xiaobai would benefit greatly from a few years of experience outside. Therefore, Zhou Zhennan also spoke up to support her. "Yuemin, don't worry! Your mother is here with the children. Your mother will take good care of Shihua and Haichen."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yijun quickly agreed, "Yuemin, you and Xiaobai can just focus on your work. Leave Shihua and Haichen to me. I promise to raise them to be plump and healthy. You can rest assured."

Zhong Yuemin heard that his family supported Xiaobai so much, although he still felt a little reluctant, he gradually felt relieved. He smiled helplessly and asked, "Can Xiaobai be the mayor?"

Zhong Shanyue glanced at him, with a smug smile on his face. "There is an unwritten rule that officials from Beijing are transferred to higher positions. There is a problem with the county magistrate of a county in Henan, and there has been no suitable candidate. This opportunity is rare, and Xiaobai happens to be the county magistrate."

"County magistrate?" Zhong Yuemin's eyes widened. He didn't expect that Xiaobai could become the county magistrate directly after this visit. This made him both surprised and proud. Zhong Yuemin knew that Zhou Xiaobai had this ability, but he didn't expect the opportunity to come so soon.

At night, the bedroom was filled with a warm and private atmosphere. Zhong Yuemin took out a box of beautifully packaged golden tea. The box glowed lightly under the light, making it look particularly precious. He turned to look at Zhou Xiaobai, his eyes flashing with mystery and expectation.

"Wife, I'll let you try this today." Zhong Yuemin gently opened the box, and inside lay a few pieces of golden and elegant tea leaves.

Zhou Xiaobai moved closer curiously and sniffed. A light and elegant aroma filled her nose, which made her wrinkle her nose involuntarily, with a hint of surprise in her eyes. "Yuemin, what kind of tea is this? It looks so special."

Zhong Yuemin smiled and explained, "I got this golden tea by chance. At first, I didn't know what effect it had, so I didn't dare to let others drink it easily. But in the past two months, after trying it myself, I found that it can make people experience the deepest beauty in their hearts. That feeling is like... well, how should I put it, it's unprecedented happiness anyway."

Zhou Xiaobai was fascinated by what he said, with curiosity and yearning flashing in her eyes. She took the teacup from Zhong Yuemin, her hands trembling slightly, and carefully brought the cup to her lips, taking a sip.

Instantly, a warm and wonderful feeling spread from the tip of her tongue to her whole body, as if a warm current was flowing slowly through her heart. The heat quickly spread to her limbs and bones, making her body soft and limp, as if she had lost her strength.

Zhou Xiaobai closed her eyes and immersed herself in this wonderful feeling. Colorful pictures emerged in her mind, as if she was in a dreamlike world. She saw beautiful flowers, flying butterflies and bright sunshine, and felt the vitality and vigor of nature.

At this moment, an inexplicable impulse surged in her heart, causing her to open her eyes involuntarily. She found that her face had turned red and her heartbeat had accelerated.

Zhou Xiaobai shyly glanced at Zhong Yuemin, only to see him smiling at her, his eyes full of tenderness and love. She felt flustered and didn't know what to do.

Suddenly, Zhou Xiaobai, as if she had made up her mind, sat on Zhong Yuemin's lap, hugged his neck tightly, and gave him a sweet kiss.

Zhong Yuemin was stunned for a moment, but soon reacted and responded to her kiss passionately. Their lips pressed tightly together, their breaths intertwined, and their passion was overflowing.

As the kiss deepened, their bodies gradually moved closer, their body temperatures blending with each other. The room was filled with an ambiguous atmosphere, as if the whole world was left with only the two of them.

At this moment, time seemed to stop flowing, everything became so beautiful and peaceful. They enjoyed each other's hugs and kisses, forgetting all the troubles in the outside world.

Gradually, their hands began to become restless, caressing each other's bodies...

After a long time, Zhou Xiaobai slowly opened her eyes, and her consciousness gradually returned to reality from that wonderful world. She found herself lying on Zhong Yuemin, her cheeks slightly red, with a bit of confusion and shyness in her eyes.

"You bold and unruly citizen, what kind of tea are you giving this county?" Zhou Xiaobai said in a pretended angry tone, trying to hide his inner panic.

Zhong Yuemin laughed, with a cunning light flashing in his eyes. "County Magistrate Zhou, how do you feel? Is this an experience you have never had before?" He deliberately emphasized the three words "County Magistrate Zhou", as if reminding Zhou Xiaobai of his upcoming new identity.

Zhou Xiaobai's cheeks turned even redder when she heard this. She spat and said coquettishly, "Bah! You are a rascal, you only know how to play these tricks. But... this tea is really magical, it makes people feel relaxed and happy, as if they are in another world."

Zhong Yuemin adjusted to a more comfortable position, hugged Zhou Xiaobai tightly, and asked softly, "Wife, when are you going to be transferred?"

Zhou Xiaobai snuggled up to his chest, feeling his warmth and peace of mind. "It should be in the next few days. I have almost finished handing over my work here."

"Ah? Are you in such a hurry?" Zhong Yuemin was a little surprised. He didn't expect Zhou Xiaobai's transfer would come so soon.

Zhou Xiaobai smiled and looked up at Zhong Yuemin, with a cunning light in his eyes. "Yuemin, are you reluctant to leave me? How about I not go?"

Zhong Yuemin snorted and pretended to be angry. "Wife, you have become a bad person now. You can even lie to me, right? I don't believe that you just found out about this and told me now. Tell me, how are you going to compensate me?"

Seeing this, Zhou Xiaobai immediately started to act like a spoiled child, her voice soft and sticky. "Then how do you want me to compensate you? Otherwise... I will accompany you to drink golden tea again tonight, how about that?"

Zhong Yuemin was overjoyed when he heard this. He gently scratched Zhou Xiaobai's nose. "One is not enough?"

"Is it not enough that everyone listens to you?"

"That's more like it, but seriously, my wife, when you leave, my children and I will miss you very much. You must take good care of yourself, understand?"

Zhou Xiaobai nodded, with a hint of reluctance in his eyes. "I understand, Yuemin. I will miss you too. However, this transfer is a great opportunity for me and I can't miss it. I will work hard and try to come back and reunite with you as soon as possible."
