Reborn Spicy Little Wife

Chapter 16 Holding Back? Luo Ning

"Luo Ning, walk behind!" Xie Chang'an was anxious. The snowflakes stung his face. He was a man and it didn't bother him, but Luo Ning, with her delicate skin, must be uncomfortable. Besides, walking behind would allow her to follow his footprints without getting her shoes wet.

"No need, this is fine!" Luo Ning insisted. There was no train to the town yet, so Xie Chang'an had to go to the city to catch a train. She subconsciously quickened her pace.

Xie Chang'an, I don't want to hide under your wings and be well protected by you.

I want to stand by your side, to share the storms of life with you, and to walk hand in hand through life.

Why is this woman so stubborn! Xie Chang'an was a bit exasperated and quickened his pace to catch up with her, trying to persuade Luo Ning.

"Don't take my sister's words to heart, she's just a child!" Luo Ning changed the subject, not wanting to dwell on the matter any longer. Xie Chang'an was such a capable person, he must know everything. Sigh!

"I know!" Xie Chang'an felt a pang of guilt. "Don't take my mom's words to heart! If she asks you to do something in the future, don't do it if you don't want to."

"I'm relieved to hear you say that!" Luo Ning's eyes crinkled into a smile, her heart filled with sweetness.

Xie Chang'an was momentarily stunned by Luo Ning's smile, and his ears turned slightly red.

"You must remember what I'm telling you. You absolutely cannot make any mistakes in your lifestyle!" Luo Ning urged anxiously, like a broken record.

She was worried that Xie Chang'an and his white moonlight might cause some trouble. Given the grim situation this year, not only might he lose his military uniform, but he might even lose his life.

Xie Chang'an turned to look at Luo Ning. Why did he dislike listening to her talk so much?

Luo Ning knew he was annoying, so he didn't linger.

The wind was strong and the snow was heavy, making the roads difficult to travel. Just walking had already exhausted all her strength.

Before long, she was panting heavily, disgusted with her own body.

Xie Chang'an didn't even lose his breathing, Luo Ning thought with great resentment. It's true that you have to compare people.

Luo Ning slowed down, and Xie Chang'an also subconsciously slowed down as well.

Luo Ning secretly felt that she wasn't there to see them off, but to drag them down, and to make them break.

But Luo Ning couldn't bear to give up like this, as it would be a burden, and besides, she had nowhere to go in this freezing weather.

"Beep—" A police car drove up from behind and stopped next to Xie Chang'an. Liu Chunsheng poked his head out of the car and said, "Hey, you two are really fast!"

"Big Cousin, what's up?" Luo Ning asked curiously, his gaze sweeping over Xie Chang'an and Liu Chunsheng's faces, inexplicably feeling a strong sense of homoerotic tension between them.

"I need to go to the city on business, and I'll drop Chang'an off at the train station while I'm at it!" Liu Chunsheng waved to the two men. "Hurry up, both of you, get on!"

"Oh my god, big cousin, I love you so much!" Luo Ning happily climbed onto the car and breathed on his hands to warm them.

Xie Chang'an's face darkened instantly. He glared at Liu Chunsheng before getting into the car.

Liu Chunsheng touched his nose, thinking that his older cousin's excessive enthusiasm was a problem...

He closed the car door, started the engine, and drove off into the snowstorm.

Xie Chang'an exuded a chilling aura, making the atmosphere in the car extremely tense.

Luo Ning woke up too early today and was feeling a little sleepy. She closed her eyes, leaned back in her chair, and quickly fell asleep.

Despite the chilling barrage of arrows coming from behind, Liu Chunsheng's hands trembled slightly as he drove.

My dear cousin, you're sleeping soundly. Your man has already killed your older cousin with his eyes countless times.

My older cousin is dead.

With half an hour left before boarding, Liu Chunsheng, his forehead covered in cold sweat, escorted Xie Chang'an, that great god, to the train station.

Luo Ning seemed to sense something and woke up when Xie Chang'an got out of the car. She followed him out of the car with a bewildered look on her face.

Liu Chunsheng was full of resentment. "That heartless little brat, she's forgotten her brother now that she has a man!"

He's such a troublemaker, always asking for trouble!

Luo Ning escorted Xie Chang'an to the platform. With parting imminent, her eyes welled up with tears.

Xie Chang'an pursed his lips. "Luo Ning, I'm leaving. Write to me if you need anything!"

"Okay, call home when you get there!" Luo Ning blinked, trying to shake off the bittersweet feeling.

Xie Chang'an nodded, slung his backpack over his shoulder, and got into the car without looking back.

When Xie Chang'an found his seat and settled in, the train started moving. He looked out the window.

On the platform, a burly figure in red waved at him, saying something loudly...

Through the car window, the wind was too strong and the voices inside were noisy. Although Xie Chang'an couldn't hear Luo Ning's words, he understood her lip movements: Xie Chang'an, take care!

Xie Chang'an's cold and hard features suddenly softened a bit.

Over the years, he has come and gone, always alone.

Today, Luo Ning came to see him off; he was no longer alone.

Luo Ning reluctantly turned away only after the train had disappeared from sight.

She stared blankly at the bustling crowd, completely bewildered.

This was her first time in the city, and she had no idea where anything was.

She didn't even have a destination, and she didn't even know where to ask for directions, but that didn't stump her. She chose a path and kept walking forward.

It was only the third day of the Lunar New Year, and there were hardly any shops open on the street. She walked a long way before she found a small shop selling sorghum liquor.

Then two more, then three more...

The people here love to drink, Luo Ning concluded, and continued walking. He bought a map at a small shop and just stepped out.

"Bang!" A girl darted out from the side and bumped right into her.

Luo Ning was fine, after all, there was a large body there to keep him in check, but the girl was knocked over and fell to the ground.

"Are you alright?" Luo Ning rushed over and tried to help her up.

The girl touched her head and looked around anxiously, "My hair accessory, where did my hair accessory go?"

"What the heck? Shouldn't she be responsible for taking her to the hospital?" Luo Ning paused for a moment, then started searching as well.

A bright red corner in the distance caught her eye. She walked over and saw a piece of red cloth that had been stepped on and was completely mangled...

Luo Ning's lips twitched. He squatted down, picked it up, and presented it to the girl. "Is this it?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" The girl nodded quickly, but after seeing the hair accessory clearly, she burst into tears, "Which heartless person stepped on my hair accessory and ruined it!"

Seeing her sitting in the snow crying so miserably, Luo Ning felt a little sorry for her. "Don't cry, maybe I can help you fix it!"

"Really?" The girl immediately stopped crying, got up, and carefully handed the hair accessory to Luo Ning. "Comrade, you have to help me. I saved up for months to buy this hair accessory! This is only the first day I've worn it..."

The term "comrade," which carries a historical connotation, suddenly brought her into the present era.

Since her rebirth, she has had a feeling of unreality.

She knows when she arrived, but she doesn't know when she died. Will she inexplicably return to decades later?

Faced with the girl's expectant gaze, she shook her head and regained her composure.

Luo Ning thought to herself, "Saving up for months to buy such a piece of junk? I can't agree with this girl's taste."

She picked up the red cloth and began to examine it, her thoughts racing like a wild donkey...
