"Awake?" A cool and clear voice sounded in her ears, as crisp as the mountain spring amidst a serene brook.
Xu Xi struggled to open her eyes. Something hard was pressing against her, causing discomfort and making it hard for her to catch her breath.
She felt a dull throbbing in her head, but her consciousness was clear.
Looking around, she was not able to find anyone.
"Below you," the man's voice seemed somewhat disgruntled.
Xu Xi was startled, and as she lowered her gaze, a pair of indifferent, aloof eyes were staring coldly at her.
The man was characterized by his delicate features, sharp eyebrows, a well-defined jawline, and piercing eyes full of intimidating power. Xu Xi, who appreciated handsome men, was utterly mesmerized by the man before her!
Who was he? And why was she here?
Furthermore, was this man made of steel? Why was his body so hard and uncomfortable?
"Get up," Jiang Zhen-Ting's voice was devoid of warmth. He regretted his decision to wait for her to wake up and leave on her own accord, as her weight on him made it hard to breathe.
With a grimace, Xu Xi looked at him with sparkling eyes, which seemed to flicker like pool water, causing unease. Her voice was somewhat hoarse, "I...I can't get up."
Hearing this voice, Xu Xi was taken aback. Such a chubby body, why would it produce such a soft and cute girlish voice? The contrast was too stark!
Jiang Zhen-Ting narrowed his eyes, grasped Xu Xi's waist, and with a quick roll, he had her under him.
Just then, the door made a banging noise as someone kicked it open from the outside!
Lu Mei-Xiang immediately sat on the floor and began to wail, "Oh god, this is a disaster! What bad luck!"
All the neighbors were called out by her, and Lu Mei Xiang was the first to berate: "How could you, Xu Xi! You claimed you would marry my son, but you jumped into Er Gouzi's bed. How could you be so shameless?"
"Why would you mingle with a rogue like Er Gouzi? Are you so desperate for a man?"
"Why didn't they just strip naked and tangle up?" Lu Mei Xiang regretted inwardly, she arrived too early.
Xu Xi and Jiang Zhen Ting stood up, sighing inwardly.
Hmm, such a handsome man is named Er Gouzi?
I showed a moment of soft-heartedness, and now I am being treated as his lover.
Xu Xi suddenly found her vision blurring, a coat was thrown over her shoulders, Jiang Zhen Ting's cold yet pleasant voice rang in her ears: "Put it on."
In the struggle, her clothes had become somewhat exposed, it was really indecent, she quickly put on the coat.
Upon seeing Lu Mei Xiang, Xu Xi's body involuntarily shuddered, her mind filled with foreign memories.
She had crossed over. The owner of this body was also named Xu Xi, seemingly cultured in name but her manners were more akin to a shrew. Dark-skinned, chubby, and ugly but fond of eating and lazing, she was quite famous among the shrewd women.
Insistent on luxury despite being penniless, sold everything in the house, when she ran out of food, she frequently accosted her fiance Wang Shi Cheng, hoping to marry soon and live comfortably.
However, Wang Shi Cheng despised the original Xu Xi and wished to marry a wealthier girl. Desiring to divorce but not wanting to be blamed, he and his mother tricked the original Xu Xi into eating a foul drug, claiming that Wang Shi Cheng was waiting for her in the empty dormitory. Overexcited, she died upon entering, and Xu Xi came to cross over to this world.
Jiang Zhen Ting turned to face Lu Mei Xiang with a gaze fierce enough to kill.
Lu Mei Xiang was shocked at Jiang Zhen Ting's expression, hadn't the person she sent to report about Er Gouzi said he was a pot-bellied, bald, warty face? How could he be so handsome? This was nothing like Er Gouzi, he's more like Erlang Shen!
She didn't dare meet Jiang Zhen Ting's harsh gaze, swallowing hard before pointing at Xu Xi: "You've wronged my son, our family wants to dissolve the betrothal!"
Xu Xi had retrieved the memories of the original owner; the original Xu Xi may have been odd but didn't deserve to die, now that she had crossed over, she wouldn't be bullied readily.
Lu Mei Xiang, this ant dared to frame her?!
"I will let the entire Xiu Shan County know that you're the one who did wrong by my son, you--." Mid-sentence, Lu Mei Xiang suddenly stumbled, her face paling. How did this fat woman get so close to her?
"What...what do you want?" Lu Mei Xiang was stunned by the chilling air and imposing aura coming from Xu Xi. This fat woman somehow reminded her of a terrifying ghost that suddenly popped up, which sent chills down her spine!
