Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space-Chapter 629 - 507: Silly Big Sister

Zhang Guoqing glanced at his friend thoughtfully. He didn’t intend to interrupt, but he was musing that these two made a great match. Ever since they got into college, not only were they at the same school, they were also in the same class. Both he and Zhou Jiao felt that this pair, equal in status and compatible in temperament, would be perfect if they got married.

Unexpectedly, they truly had the fate of a couple.

"That day, we didn’t dare to go to Daqing Mountain, so we went to the mountain with a reservoir instead. It was right during the summer drought, even the mountain was unbearably hot.

At that time, we walked for a full three hours and only found a shady little valley by midday. There was a small village at the foot of the mountain nearby, so we planned to play on the mountain until before dark and then find accommodation in the village..."

Yeah, right~

Walking for a full three hours, why didn’t you drop dead from exhaustion?

Zhang Guoqing and Li Qinglin exchanged glances, both realizing that their buddy had long fallen into the trap of love unknowingly. If it were any other girl, he wouldn’t even dream of taking her up the mountain, let alone get scared away.

At dawn, they set off, walked for more than three hours, stopping and resting while chatting and laughing, but it was truly tiring, and it was tough to finally reach the place.

Zhao Yuanyuan, covered in sweat, touched her damp short hair, staring intently at Zhang Yuntao.

Still expecting him to carry her? Zhang Yuntao lamented his unlucky fate, thinking how a moment of softness got him on board this pirate ship. "How about I take you to find some water to wipe off the sweat first?"

Zhao Yuanyuan grinned, "Okay, let’s go. Actually, I can manage on my own, but I’m scared there are snakes around, and I’m not sure if the snake repellent sachet Jiao Jiao gave me will be effective."

"Afraid of snakes, yet you climb the mountain?" Zhang Yuntao rolled his eyes at her in disdain, "You’re such a silly girl."

"You’re the silly one~" Zhao Yuanyuan shook her fist at him, "Do you want me to really hit you?"

"You? Not to underestimate you, but I can handle you with one hand."

The two young people bantered as they finally found a ditch. They filled a pot with clean water for the picnic, and both happily jumped into the ditch with a tacit understanding.

Soaked in the cool stream water, Zhao Yuanyuan was too busy to quarrel with Zhang Yuntao now. She lay in the ditch, squinting at the sky and the passing clouds, with the cool breeze blowing away the heat.

The more Zhao Yuanyuan thought, the more wrong it felt. Spitting out the water, she shouted upstream to Zhang Yuntao, "Come down, let’s switch places, I refuse to drink your foot water."

Foot water?

Zhang Yuntao, raised in a well-off family, was strong and tall, over six feet, and an athlete who had won several awards for his alma mater.

Tall as he was, lying down made the water shallower, switching places would only mean less soaking for him. On hearing her, he firmly shook his head, "No way, what if you can’t hold it in and pee, I’ll be worse off."

This guy can’t help but court disaster!

At these words, Zhao Yuanyuan, who had no intention of getting up, immediately stood up and stormed at him angrily.

Zhang Yuntao initially didn’t notice the difference between men and women, but now, looking at Zhao Yuanyuan coming towards him wet and dripping, he suddenly realized. After all, this friend was different from him, a man.

"Don’t come over!"

"You, ... " Zhao Yuanyuan got even angrier! How dare he not move? Let’s see how she would handle him. Heaven has a path yet you refuse to walk it, Hell has no door and yet you insist on entering?

You’re done for!

The thoughtless girl took Zhang Yuntao as her often-played-with older brothers, which only fueled her anger more, and Zhao Yuanyuan waded faster towards him through the water.

In her haste, she ignored the fact that Zhang Yuntao’s state fronting him was like being struck by thunder, his mind blank, and his face bewildered.

In an instant, Zhao Yuanyuan rushed up and grabbed his arm forcefully, "Come out!"

Zhang Yuntao foolishly looked at Zhao Yuanyuan, every time her arm touched him, it sent shivers down his spine, so he tightly closed his eyes, desperately wanting to cover his strange reaction.

No, she’s my sister, Taozi, you’re a man, don’t make a mistake...

Seeing him still keeping his eyes shut, stalling with his height, refusing to budge, Zhao Yuanyuan got truly angry: You little rascal! If I can’t pull you up, do you dare to push me away, you’re dead.

In a fit of anger, Zhao Yuanyuan lunged herself at him, grabbing Zhang Yuntao’s face hard and pulling fiercely, "You miser, let you stay put without moving, now I see you play tricks..."

Zhang Yuntao’s face, red with embarrassment, was in agony, feeling helpless. Sometimes, being dense is not scary, what’s scary is realizing too late. Girl, I’m a man.

Finally, with a face twisted by pinching and pulling, he barely managed to utter a muffled line, "Zhao Yuanyuan... I’m a man, you’ll regret it..."

"Oh, you’re threatening me? You’re something! See if I don’t pinch you to death... You’ve got a lot of guts, daring to threaten your sister... you little brat, watch how I deal with you?!"

Zhao Yuanyuan cursed with her mouth while her hands kept moving, lifting herself up to free a hand to pinch his waist.

Zhang Yuntao looked at Zhao Yuanyuan shaking below his eyelids, struggling internally. His reason told him to stop, or it would truly get out of hand. But, where the hell had he a younger sister!

Zhang Yuntao tightly held her with one hand, feeling his heart beat with excitement. He realized he was truly dumb; this woman had almost been taken away. What nonsense "sister," she was Zhang Yuntao’s woman.

...

Zhang Yuntao hugged her, carefully observing her face. The more he looked, the more uncertain he felt; she didn’t speak, nor did she hit him, what did it mean?

"Yuanyuan, I’ll have my parents propose marriage to your family as soon as I return. You can decide when we get married. From now on, I’ll listen to you."

"..."

"Yuanyuan, are you worried about getting pregnant? I’ve read the books, I deliberately avoided it just now, there shouldn’t be a problem. Even if there is, we won’t be afraid. Don’t you like Ping’an? We’ll have one too."

"..."

"Yuanyuan, I didn’t mean to get serious this time. You’re too beautiful, I lost control for a moment. Would you like to hit me a few times? Don’t you just love hitting me, hit hard, I won’t fight back."

"..."

"Yuanyuan, please believe me one more time. If I ever promise you something and don’t deliver, you can punish me however you want."

"..."

On the mountain, Zhang Yuntao held her all night, talking until his mouth went dry, yet she didn’t utter a word, making him worry she’d think things the wrong way and something might happen.

The next day, Zhao Yuanyuan went down the mountain with him, but then disappeared. He stayed in the county all summer, dying to see her, but never did.

Finally, when school started, Zhang Yuntao stayed by her side every day. In front of others, Zhao Yuanyuan was as usual, but when alone with him, she was silent once again.

Zhang Yuntao couldn’t fathom what was going on in this girl’s mind. Yes, he had let her down that day, but she didn’t refuse him in the process either.

He could see that Zhao Yuanyuan cared for him, and he quite liked her too. Since that day, he just couldn’t forget Zhao Yuanyuan. If he could think of a way, he’d never want to be away from her for a moment.
