Chapter 26: Lightning

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

That night, just as Song Xi fell asleep, she heard a loud rumbling sound in the pitch-black night. She jolted awake and looked at the lightning that illuminated the entire world outside the window. Song Xi was very flustered.

She was a guest from outer space. Would her soul be destroyed by the lightning?

“Scared?” Amidst the lightning and thunder, Zhou Yi’s low and sexy voice suddenly sounded.

Lightning flashed outside the window, and Zhou Yi’s face flickered in front of her. Song Xi said uselessly, “A little.” She didn’t know if it was her that was afraid or Little ‘Song Xi’ that was afraid. It had to be known that in the modern world, she had encountered lightning and thunder that were even more terrifying than this. At that time, she had never been so afraid.

Zhou Yi reached out and pulled Song Xi into his arms. He kissed her forehead and said dotingly, “Don’t be afraid. Hubby is here!”

Song Xi pressed her ear against his chest and could clearly hear his strong heartbeat. For some reason, she felt at ease and did not refute what he said. He was right. He was indeed her husband.

When she was unconscious, they had secretly gotten a marriage certificate.

As soon as Zhou Yi finished speaking, before Song Xi could properly experience this intimate moment, the heavy rain outside poured down, hitting the roof and the ground with a loud sound.

Song Xi, who had just calmed down, panicked again. “Brother Yi, can our roof hold up?”

“I don’t know about others, but our home can definitely hold up. When the matchmaker looked for me and said that she had a girl who could marry me, I renovated the roof, so you don’t have to worry.” Zhou Yi hugged Song Xi, feeling as if he was hugging his entire world. His heart was really filled all the time.

“Matchmaker? Can you tell me in detail?” The Song family had sold Little ‘Song Xi’s’ spot in high school behind her back. Little ‘Song Xi’ did not know about this at first.

Little ‘Song Xi had no idea that they had helped her find a partner behind her back.

“One day, a matchmaker came to our village and said that she had a girl of the right age to marry. It was just that the betrothal gift was a little high and she asked me if I wanted it. However, I didn’t expect that they would send you over without any notice. I wasn’t prepared at all. Otherwise, our family wouldn’t be so shabby.” Zhou Yi was extremely glad. Fortunately, he didn’t reject her like Zhou Yun that day. Otherwise, he wouldn’t even have had the chance to know Song Xi in his life.

“Ah? Marriage is so casual?” Song Xi exclaimed in surprise, but then she understood. Since ancient times, women’s marriages were arranged by their parents. She had no right to make decisions. Many couples met for the first time after getting married.

Although the marriage law clearly emphasized the freedom of marriage in the early 1950s and no one had the right to arrange for marriages, there was no true freedom of love and marriage.

Even in the modern era, there were also parents who did not allow their children to fall in love freely. Even if they found a girlfriend, their parents did not permit them to marry her. They had to marry someone they had long liked or a marriage of equal social status.

In short, where was true freedom in this world?

Looking at Song Xi’s stunned expression, Zhou Yi did not say what was on the tip of his tongue. Actually, he was quite grateful for this casual marriage. Otherwise, she would have been sent to someone else’s house by the Song family.

“Hualala, Hualala…”

Outside, the heavy rain continued to pour from the ink-black sky onto the ground. Amidst the lightning and thunder, Song Xi’s eyelids closed heavily. Feeling that the person in her arms had completely relaxed, Zhou Yi opened his eyes. Under the light of the lightning, he kissed her forehead and closed his eyes in satisfaction.

The morning sun shone through the clouds. The rays of light were like golden lines, spectacular and beautiful. There was a faint fog on the mountaintop, like a paradise on earth.

Song Xi woke up from Zhou Yi’s arms and opened her eyes in a daze. She met Zhou Yi’s deep and dark eyes and immediately swallowed awkwardly. Did she seem to be infatuated with Zhou Yi just now?

“Wife, you’re awake? Do you want to get up for breakfast?” Seeing Song Xi dodge, Zhou Yi was in an especially good mood, like the sunlight outside the window.

“Brother Yi has already made breakfast?” Song Xi was a little surprised. She mainly felt that he was working too hard. He had to take care of her, wash clothes, cook, and do housework. He was simply an all-rounded husband.

“Yes, it’s done. You can eat it when you get up.” Zhou Yi took the opportunity to kiss Song Xi’s face before quickly getting off the bed. The main reason was that he was afraid that his wife would explode if he took too much advantage of her.

Perhaps it was because of the heavy rain last night, the morning air was especially fresh. It felt especially comfortable to breathe it in. Song Xi stood by the door and raised her head and closed her eyes. She quietly enjoyed the fresh air for a while before going to wash up and eat breakfast.

After breakfast, Zhou Yi untied the gauze wrapped around Song Xi’s head and applied medicine to the wound on the back of her head. “The wound has already scabbed over. There’s no need to wrap the gauze around it anymore. Wife, we won’t wrap it anymore!”

“Okay.” Song Xi nodded and reached out to touch the wound on the back of her head. After hesitating for a moment, she retracted her hand. “Brother Yi, is the wound big? Am I bald?”

“It’s not big. It’s just the size of a coin. Don’t worry, your hair will grow out in the future.” Zhou Yi picked up the goat horn comb and gently combed Song Xi’s weed-like hair.

Song Xi did not believe Zhou Yi’s words. If the wound was really the size of a coin, then little ‘Song Xi’ would not have died. Therefore, the wound was at least the size of two coins. However, the wound was at the back of her head and could be covered with hair. It would not affect her appearance.

Besides, she was not bad-looking either. Previously, in the supermarket, she looked in the mirror and looked exactly the same as when she was 17 years old in the modern world. However, she was too thin in this time and space, so she did not look as beautiful as in the modern world. As long as she recuperated and recovered, her looks would naturally return.

Zhou Yi was especially careful and gentle when he combed her hair. Song Xi did not feel her scalp being tugged at the entire time. It seemed like Zhou Yi was really a very patient person.

Song Xi pulled her hair in front of her and pulled it straight to measure its length. The end of her hair actually reached below her navel. Oh my god, this hair was too long! It was just that this hair was thin, yellow, and frizzy. You could tell someone was malnourished by looking at it.

Of course, in this era, most girls were malnourished like this. There were even many boys in the countryside who were malnourished. Everyone did not even have food, so how could there be nutrition?

“Wife, it rained heavily last night. There should be a lot of mushrooms on the mountain. I’ll go pick some mushrooms later. Let’s eat mushroom soup.”
