"Open up! You damn whore, open the door!"
The abrupt knocking and cursing awoke Jingwei from her deep slumber.
She rolled over irritably and forced her eyes open.
But she wished she had kept them shut as she found herself in bed with a stark-naked man!
And this man was now glaring at her furiously!
Jingwei, frightened out of her wits, exclaimed, "Ah! Who...who are you? Why are...are you in my bed?"
It was summertime, an old, buzzing fan was blowing directly at the bed.
The man eyed her with a look of disdain: "I will take responsibility for you. But there can never be any emotions between us!"
Responsibility?
Staring blankly at the man's grim face, Jingwei's fragmented memories suddenly replayed before her eyes like a movie.
She began to slowly digest the mass of information.
So, had she... been reborn?! She had returned to the 80s!
The original owner of the body was called Ye Ying, despite the name, she was a terrible singer, a dark-skinned, rustic, and chubby country girl. She was not only lazy but also dishonest, attempting to seduce any man she encountered.
Ye Ying's older brother, Ye Ning, was a soldier, and he had been injured while on a mission few days prior.
She had naturally moved into the compound to take care of her older brother!
The man lying beside her at the moment is Ji Lianqi, Ye Ning's comrade. With his striking eyebrows and bright eyes, he often visited to inquire about Ye Ning's injury condition. Over time, he had caught the fancy of Ye Ying!
Later, she heard that Ji Lianqi's comrade Lin Jie introduced his sister to him, hoping to arrange a marriage alliance for them.
Finding about this, the self-centered Ye Ying was both envious and jealous, with mischief promptly cooking up in her mind.
In order to win over Ji Lianqi, she daringly used a certain drug, attempting to seize him by force, unexpectedly, her scheme worked.
However, upon acquiring her dream man, excessive excitement and emotional arousal caused the already hypertensive Ye Ying to suddenly have a heart failure. She died on the spot which led her coveted man being grief-stricken and wish to die.
Hence, this explains the present scene.
The soreness attacking from between her legs was an exact reminder of what had happened previously.
The knocking and cursing from outside the door had not ceased.
A shrill female voice continuously spitting vile words, "Ye Ying, you're such a shameless woman. Open the damn door, I will expose your shameless deeds in front of everyone in the yard!"
The next was an angry male voice, "Ye Ying, you've greatly disappointed me. Despite me treating you so well, you went behind my back to seduce someone else!"
"Open the door!"
"Whoever is inside, open the door, or I will kick it down!"
So, the people outside were here to catch her red-handed!
She could distinctly hear a man and a woman's voice.
The voice of the woman outside belonged to Lin Rang, who was ardently suggested as a match for Ji Lianqi by Lin Jie - his comrade!
The male voice came from Li Ergou, a villager.
Li Ergou was a simple and innocent villager whom Ye Ying had whimsically befriended to alleviate her loneliness. He was sincere and somewhat goofy.
But how did Ergou find his way here?
The original host, this inconsiderate woman, had no bounds and had taken advantage of a man who was infatuated with her?
And that too when she was already in a relationship!
This absolutely shattered Jing Wei's beliefs!
"What should I do?" Jing Wei swallowed, looking at Ji Lianqi for help.
"You finally know fear!" Ji Lianqi taunted coldly.
"I... " Jing Wei wanted to explain, but she didn't have the confidence to do so.
How could she possibly explain her current predicament, being trapped in the body of Ye Ying who weighed at least 200 pounds?
Right now, she was Ye Ying, Ye Ying was her.
And she had to deal with everything that came her way.
Ye Ying wanted to get out of bed and get dressed, but she accidentally touched a card-like object.
She took a quick glance and saw the words "Luck Card" written on the card, subtly shimmering with a faint light.
Her current predicament didn't allow her the time to investigate it further. She casually stuffed the card under the pillow and thought of getting out of bed to get her clothes.
Just as she was stretching one leg under the bed, the door was abruptly kicked open.
"Ah!!" Ye Ying let out a scream, hastily pulling the quilt over her body and looking fearfully at the ferocious crowd outside.
Lin Ranran stormed to the side of the bed, her eyes red and glaring at the two people on the bed, quivering with anger.
Ye Ying was panic-stricken. What should she do? It seemed that this woman would tear her apart at any second!
At the same time, a blurry male voice echoed in her mind.
"It's over."
Isn't that the voice of the man next to her?
He clearly didn't just say something with his mouth open!
Could it be his inner voice? Did she have the ability to read minds?
Before she had time to delve into it, a sharp female voice rang out again, "You shameless slut! You... sob... you've defiled my Lian Qi brother!"
Lin Ranran grew angrier as she thought about it; she reached to pull away the quilt covering Ye Ying, intending to expose her in public.
Ji Lianqi, who had been "defiled" by Ying, turned around and swiftly intercepted Lin Ranran's action.
The quilt slipped from his chest, revealing solid muscles and causing a gasp of surprise from the crowd at the window.
Ji Lianqi ignored the gasp, frowned and said, "Ranran, you can't, there are still so many people watching outside."
Ye Ying immediately covered her chubby face and wrapped the quilt even tighter around her.
She gazed at the teeming crowd outside the window, a wave of shame welling up within her.
"Dear heavens...why is the start of my rebirth so embarrassing?"
When others were reborn or traveled through time, they possessed advantageous golden fingers that allowed them to cheat in various ways!
As for her, all she received was a koi luck card whose efficacy was dubious at best, and perhaps something that could be construed as mind-reading.
Worst of all, she was caught committing adultery right from the get-go!
At this moment, Li Ergou also rushed in, a look of heartbroken distress on his honest and simple face.
"Ye Ying, you've gone too far. I never thought the village rumors were true, that you would actually do something so shameless! I am going straight to the village headman, straight to tell your parents!”
After saying this, Li Ergou wiped the tears from his face without giving anyone else a chance to speak, then turned around and ran out like a wounded wife.
Lin Ranran stamped her feet in frustration and unsatisfied anger, aiming a slap at Ye Ying's chubby face; but once again, it was blocked by Ji Lianqi's big hand.
Repeatedly hindered by Ji Lianqi, Lin Ranran felt extremely wronged.
She cried out in complaint, "Brother Lianqi! Why are you stopping me? Let me beat this shameless fat goose to death! This woman, as fat as a pig, lies beside you. Don’t you feel disgusted?”
Ye Ying thought back to her first reaction upon seeing this obese body. Not to mention Ji Lianqi, she herself found it quite an eyesore.
...
Later on, things escalated and even attracted the attention of the captain.
Captain Hao Yonggang, upon seeing this scene and understanding the cause and effect, could only sigh. After he used substantial effort to disperse the onlookers, he gave Ye Ying a stern criticism and education.
Then, he let Ji Lianqi and Ye Ying go, telling them obediently to wait at home.
The next day at noon, brand new marriage certificates were delivered to both of them.
