Chapter 35 "Ecstatic"
Feiyun County Government Backyard
In the early morning, Shen Minghui frowned in his sleep. He was worried about the shortage of food and financial difficulties recently, and he didn't sleep well. However, at this moment, he was suddenly awakened by a strange movement.
He opened his eyes and the room was dark. However, a strange feeling told him that something had changed.
He fumbled to sit up, his heartbeat quickened, his palms slightly sweaty. Suddenly, his foot kicked something hard, making a dull sound.
He bent down, reached out and found a pile of things. He quickly lit the candlestick, and the weak light illuminated the whole room.
A pile of objects he had never seen before appeared in front of him: thick letters, long scrolls, neatly folded clothes, and various other items. The most eye-catching among them were the piles of rice and flour and the boxes of opened, glittering silver.
Shen Minghui looked at all this in doubt, as if he was dreaming. His heart was pounding and his mind was in a mess. These supplies were undoubtedly a timely help to him, solving his urgent needs. However, how did these things appear in his room?
Suddenly, he thought of a possible person - his wife Lin Yuxi. Although the two met rather abruptly in their previous life, they later got along with each other and faced their hearts frankly, and lived a life of mutual support.
The person he was most worried about after his previous life died was his wife, Lin Yuxi. He never expected that when he opened his eyes again, he would arrive in a new world.
Speaking of which, the original body, Shen Minghui, was a great talent in Yunshen Academy, and he even won the second-class Jinshi in this year's examination. It turned out that ten years of hard study finally paid off. The original body should have been very proud of himself, but unfortunately, the original body was too famous in Yunshen Academy, and he surpassed a group of second-generation officials, but in the end he was still envied.
This time, the newly-appointed Jinshi was assigned an official position, and he was directly assigned to this desolate small county on the border.
I don’t know if it was because he was depressed or because he couldn’t adapt to the local climate, but his original body died on the way here, and then he, Shen Minghui, took over.
It’s not like he hadn’t thought about the possibility that Lin Yuxi was also in this world, but every time this extremely low probability popped up, he would deny it himself!
During the day, I can numb myself with busy work, but... when it's late at night and I'm alone, the vast loneliness that spreads from the bottom of my heart will come over me from time to time. I look around... but I can no longer find that familiar figure!
At this moment, Shen Minghui's face no longer had the dignity and coldness he had during the day. He couldn't wait to pick up a letter. The familiar peony flower mark and the elegant fragrance on the envelope almost made Shen Minghui cry.
It took me a long time to calm down and read the letter. I saw the following words clearly written on the letter paper:
[From my husband Minghui:
Since we parted, I have been missing you so much that I have become ill. I wonder where you are and whether you are doing well.
Although I am in a foreign place, my heart is with you.
Recalling the past, I spent wonderful times with you. Now we are separated from each other in the world, and I can't help but burst into tears.
I still remember the first time I met you. The moonlight was like water, and you were wearing a green shirt, gentle and elegant, which made people admire you. Since then, Yuxi's heart has been tied to you.
You and I have been connected since ancient times, and it is God's will that we meet again in this life.
Although I don't know what your current status is, I firmly believe that you must be a hero. I hope you will not forget your original intention, stick to morality, and wait for the day when we meet again to express our feelings of separation.
I hope you take care of yourself and treat yourself well. If we can meet again in the future, we will hold hands and look into each other's eyes without telling each other about the separation.
Wife Lin Yuxi weeps in a letter]
Shen Minghui was very confused after reading it. This... is not Yuxi's style at all? Could it be that after taking a life-or-death move, he has become so... literary?
Little did anyone know how many brain cells Lin Yuxi had consumed in order to write such a "love letter" that met the system's requirements!
After Shen Minghui finished reading the letter, he looked at other things. When he unfolded the scroll and saw the scene of himself dancing with a sword in front of the waterfall, he couldn't help but smile.
That was the tenth year after he and Lin Yuxi met. It was a shot of him taking Lin Yuxi to live in their world of two. Looking back now, it seems like just yesterday.
He stroked the portrait, and a warm current surged in his heart. In this strange world, he was so lucky to have a wife who loved him so deeply by his side!
That is...did the lady forget to tell him where she is?
How to contact?
--split line--
Lin Yuxi watched the letters, paintings, purses, clothes, etc. that she had written disappear before her eyes, and the joy in her heart continued to spread.
[Xiaowang, has it been delivered? Did Minghui receive it? What's his expression? Did he say when he would come to see me?]
The Lucky Husband System blinked its electronic eyes, used its limited memory, and forcefully analyzed the meaning of the host's words. Finally, it swallowed its nonexistent saliva and whispered,
[Host, I am a lucky husband system! ] There is no online dating function!
Hmmmm, and then what?
Lin Yuxi nodded in confusion, and as she watched the system retreat and stop talking after saying this, she had an ominous premonition in her heart. However, the strong emotions in her heart still made her force herself to sleep and wait for Shen Minghui's feedback.
——I am the dividing line of the second day——
The first ray of sunlight in the morning shines through the exquisite window lattices and falls on the antique wooden bed.
Lin Yuxi slowly opened her eyes. Her pupils were clear and bright, like dewdrops in the morning light, flashing with anticipation and anxiety.
She jumped up from the bed lightly, wearing a silk nightgown embroidered with fine patterns, and walked barefoot in the room anxiously looking for something. Her movements were agile and quick, and she obviously had a clear goal. She looked around, not sparing any corner, but she returned disappointed every time.
She stopped by the bed, her brows furrowed, her eyes revealing deep disappointment. Her hands unconsciously stroked the empty headboard, sliding across the smooth fabric, as if she could touch the warmth of expectation.
However, in reality, only the cool sheets responded to her touch. Her heart was like the surface of a lake attacked by the cold wind, with waves rising and falling, and ripples appearing.
【Xiaowang?】
[Host, are you okay? ]
The Lucky Husband System was confused by the host's series of actions. When it heard the question with an obviously wrong tone, it couldn't help but speak in a low voice.
World consciousness, help me! The host asked me and I was panicking. What should I do? Although... although I don’t know why I’m panicking? But I’m so panicked, what should I do?
【Where is my letter? 】
【What...what letter! 】
[My husband Shen Minghui's reply to me, you bastard, where did you put my letter? Give it back to me quickly!]
(Thank you for your continued support and understanding! I am so happy every time I see your urging and comments. I love you all)
