Chapter 34

“You’re the only one I like,” Wei Luan said as his face turned red. He did not dare to look at Lin Yi.

Lin Yi was stunned. When she realized what was going on, her face turned red.

Wei Luan had just mentioned that he liked her. It seemed unfathomable! They had only known each other for a short time. Moreover, in the book, Wei Luan had always had a crush on Lan Hui.

Lin Yi suddenly realized the prerequisite of Wei Luan’s words. It was marriage!

In other words, no matter who he married, he would like this person.

In this era, marriage is far more important than decades later.

Even if Wei Luan did not like her, he would still be loyal to his wife out of morality and social norms.

At the thought of this, the excitement and nervousness in Lin Yi’s heart disappeared.

That’s right, why would Wei Luan suddenly like her?

Did he know her well? Did he have an emotional foundation with her? Was he aware of her shortcomings and bad temper?

What he meant by liking her was just a husband’s loyalty and love for his wife. This was not what she wanted!

Lin Yi was deep in thought. She did not raise her head to look at Wei Luan, so she did not see the passion and affection in his eyes.

“Alright, I understand,” Lin Yi said calmly.

Lin Yi’s reaction made the light in Wei Luan’s eyes disappear.

It was as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head.

Wei Luan suddenly felt that his expectations were ridiculous.

What was there to look forward to? Did he expect Lin Yi to say that she liked him too?

She was a dignified female educated youth from the city. There was no reason for her to like an impoverished man like him.

Moreover, he should have known that she had never forgotten that man. She had once jumped into the river for him. It was impossible for her love to suddenly disappear.

They finished their meal in silence.

At the dining table, Liuliu also felt that something was wrong. He turned her small head to the left to look at Wei Luan, and then to the right to look at Lin Yi. His big eyes were filled with confusion.

At night, the villagers did not have much leisure and entertainment. At this time, electricity was still inaccessible, so people went to bed after dinner.

The atmosphere between Lin Yi and Wei Luan was a little strange, but the two of them had to sleep on the same bed. After all, Wei Luan’s family was poor and only had one bed.

Lin Yi closed her eyes and fell asleep. Suddenly, she felt a little unwell.

In the book, Lin Yi was a pampered young lady from the city. Her body had always been weak, so it was normal for her to get sick from time to time.

Lin Yi guessed that the temperature had dropped too much in the past few days, which made her feel unwell.

Wei Luan heard that Lin Yi had not fallen asleep, and her breathing was not even. Her body was trembling slightly, so he was a little worried.

He turned around and asked, “What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”

Lin Yi buried her head in the blanket. “No, I’m fine. Go to sleep.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Yi felt a warm hand on her forehead before touching her hand.

“What are you doing?” Lin Yi tried to pull her hand back.

“Why is your body so cold?” Wei Luan’s tone was very worried and nervous. “Do you have any other problems?”

“No, it’s just that my stomach feels a little bad, and I’m a little cold.” Lin Yi felt warm from the man’s concern, and she did not resist anymore. “But it’s alright, I’ll be fine after sleeping.”

“I’ll get a thick new blanket another day. This blanket is old and it’s not very warm.” Wei Luan blamed himself. After thinking for a while, he mustered his courage and said, “If you’re cold, come closer to me. I’m warmer.”

Lin Yi was stunned. She wanted to refuse, but her body was cold. Wei Luan, who was young and strong, was lying next to her like a burning stove. Lin Yi could feel that his side was much warmer than hers.

Lin Yi thought to herself. After all, the two of them had already had sex the night she first arrived, so it shouldn’t be a big deal for her to use him to warm up.

After hesitating for a while, Lin Yi slowly approached Wei Luan. However, she was shy and did not want to face Wei Luan directly, so she said, “Turn around.”

Wei Luan obediently turned around. Lin Yi placed her arm around Wei Luan’s waist and leaned against his back. Soon, she felt her body warming up.
