The Fat Wife of the 1980s Awakens

After dinner, the loudspeaker broadcast started on time. Today's broadcast was the finale of "Journey to the West". Wangcai was very interested in this story. Sanbao and several other children took the radio and ran excitedly to their neighbor Fang Kai's house to share the fun together.

Only Xie Yi, Xu Xiufang and the sleeping Xiaoyun were left at home.

Xu Xiufang fetched hot water and washed herself carefully, while Xie Yi stayed in the room, accompanying Xiaoyun and enjoying this rare parent-child time.

When Xu Xiufang finished tidying up, Xiaoyun had already fallen into a sweet dream on the small bed. Xie Yi was sitting beside the bed, holding a book that she had placed on the bedside, reading quietly.

Feeling his wife's return, Xie Yi turned his gaze to her gently. He saw Xu Xiufang calmly take out a bottle of exquisite brand-name essence from the space ring, sat at the table, and began to apply it carefully on her skin. Every movement revealed her care and cherishment for herself.

After applying it, she took the bottle of essence and walked to the kang, gently took the book from Xie Yi's hand, sat on his lap, and carefully applied the essence on his face. "I've always wanted you to try this. Your handsome face can't be easily eroded by time. Otherwise, ten years later, I will still look like I'm in my twenties, but you will be full of wrinkles. When you go out, people will laugh at you for being an old cow eating young grass."

Xie Yi hugged her waist tightly. He was not very interested in these skin care products, and believed that a real man did not need these external decorations.

However, after hearing his wife's words, his resistance gradually dissipated. He frowned and asked seriously, "If I really get old and have wrinkles, will you dislike me anymore?"

"How can it be."

Xu Xiufang raised her head, her eyes full of affection. Suddenly, she said something that made Xie Yi confused, "I came back in this life all for you!"

Xie Yi's eyes were full of confusion and inquiry, and he stared at his wife's face, waiting for her explanation.

"You said, is it possible for a book to become a portal connecting two worlds?"

As Xu Xiufang spoke, she pointed at the book that Xie Yi had just put down. Her fingers nimbly moved in the air as she continued to apply skin care products to him. When she was done, she put the small bottle into the drawer, took out the lotion, and carefully applied it on his face. Every step seemed so natural and full of love.

Xie Yi did not dwell too much on these complicated maintenance steps. He keenly perceived that his wife seemed to be about to reveal a major "secret" to him.

So he shook his head slightly, indicating that he did not believe that books could be a channel between the worlds.

“But it does.”

Xu Xiufang spoke slowly, and she began to tell an incredible story - the world they lived in was originally just a fragment of a novel; and she, who was originally a "traveler" who shuttled between different stories and performed various tasks, unexpectedly became a vicious female supporting role here, and he was the big villain in that story, and Zhou Qifeng and Jiang Wanrou were the scheduled protagonists... When she completed the task and was about to leave, because she couldn't bear to see Sanbao suffer because of her, and even more unwilling to see him sacrifice for her, she made a deal with the so-called "system", and resolutely returned here with a space full of wealth, just to protect this hard-earned happiness and peace... A series of information poured out of Xu Xiufang's mouth without reservation, as fierce and dense as a summer rainstorm. Her eyes flashed with determination, and she didn't seem to care whether this torrent would catch Xie Yi off guard, or whether he could fully accept this complex and heavy truth.

When the words ended, the brief silence in the room was interrupted by the soft prompt sound of the nursing robot, announcing the successful completion of the daily care procedure, and seemed to put an end to this storm in the heart.

A mixture of emotions suddenly surged in Xie Yi's heart, shock, confusion, heartache and a hint of disbelief intertwined together.

If someone else had told him such a bizarre experience, he might have doubted the other person's mental state, but the person standing in front of him was his wife, the one he was willing to trust and protect with his life.

This special emotional bond made it impossible for him to simply attribute all this to fantasy or confusion.

After Xu Xiufang finished speaking, her eyes were fixed on Xie Yi's face, and the anxiety in her heart was like fallen leaves blown up and down by the autumn wind.

She didn't know whether Xie Yi's deep love for her would be shaken or whether a trace of regret would creep into his heart after he learned about the unspeakable suffering she and Sanbao had endured because of her choice.

"In other words," Xie Yi frowned, his voice mixed with complex emotions, and slowly spoke under Xu Xiufang's expectant yet slightly uneasy gaze, "You made the decision to return entirely because of me and Sanbao?"

His voice was low, and every word was like a heavy hammer hitting Xu Xiufang's heart.

"……Yes."

Although Xu Xiufang's answer was brief, it was full of the weight of determination and sacrifice.

"So you never had any feelings towards Zhou Qifeng from the beginning to the end?"

Xie Yi's question went straight to the point, with a barely perceptible hint of nervousness in his tone.

"……No!"

Xu Xiufang's answer was decisive and without any hesitation.

Hearing these words, Xie Yi's face suddenly broke into a smile as warm as the spring sun. He suddenly pulled Xu Xiufang into his arms with such force that it seemed as if he wanted to merge her into his bones and blood.

"Thank you, wife!"

These three words contain so much emotion and gratitude that is difficult to express in words.

His joy was beyond words, and he hugged her tightly, as if to drive away all his uneasiness and doubts.

Then he carefully placed her on the bed and gave her a deep and gentle kiss that was a promise, an eternal vow.

Xu Xiufang was almost at a loss under the sudden impact of this intense emotion. Her cheeks turned red and her heart was beating like a drum.

Just when she still had a trace of doubt and uneasiness in her heart——

"Wait," Xu Xiufang put her arms around Xie Yi's neck, uncertainty flashing in her eyes, "Is that it? You have no other ideas, no complaints, no..."

"What else?"

Xie Yi asked back, his tone was firm and unquestionable, "Whatever the reason for your previous choice, it is in the past. You and I both know that it was not your original intention. I, and Sanbao, we have never really blamed you. Because we know that your heart is always with us."

Even when she was carrying out the cold mission, her heart had never really left. She saw all the pain and struggle, and it hurt her heart...

"Let me put it this way," Xie Yi's eyes were like the brightest stars in the night sky, blazing and sincere, "In my previous life, I was like gambling everything in the casino of life, using my life as a bet, betting that you would come back to me. And you came back, giving up everything that the world dreams of, proving that I didn't lose, I didn't lose that gamble about love!"

Xu Xiufang bit her lower lip, tears welling up in her eyes. She felt touched and relieved.
