Chapter 1

After living in a daze for 38 years, Xia Ying died in an old house in the countryside without money to treat her illness. At the last moment of her life, she closed her eyes and seemed to see herself when she was young. One wrong step, one wrong step. It was because she took the wrong path when she was young that no one cared about her death now, and no one might even know about it.

If I could start over...

If I could start over, she would definitely say no bravely!

…

Xia Ying subconsciously wanted to rub her temples because of a severe headache, but she couldnt raise her hands after several attempts.

Weird, what happened?

Her eyelids were so heavy that she bit her lower lip hard and struggled to open her eyes. The dim light was accompanied by a red gauze curtain above her head. The workmanship was very rough, and even in the countryside, she hadnt seen that kind of gauze curtain for many years.

She felt like she didnt know where she was for a moment, until - until she heard a slightly heavy breathing sound beside her.

Xia Ying was startled.

Is she dead? Going to the underworld, and the ghosts around her?

No, its not. How could the underworld have such a rough red gauze curtain and familiar wooden beams? Then where is this? A strange sense of familiarity emerged in her mind. She turned her head with all her strength. The first thing she saw was not the man beside her, but the furnishings in the house that startled her.

The furnishings in the house that she was very familiar with.

She married Zhou Yiming at the age of 18, but she did not enter Zhou Yimings room. Instead, someone put something in her wine and sent her to the room of Zhou Qingbai, Zhou Yimings half-brother. She slept in this room all night in a daze, and then... many things happened later, and finally she spent her short life in this room until she died.

From the age of 18 to 38, she lived here alone for 20 years. At first, Zhou Yiming was occasionally forced to come by her mother-in-law Xiang Meilan, but she was sure and certain that the man beside her was not Zhou Yiming.

Zhou Yiming was a scholar. Although he was tall, he was born weak.

But it wasnt him, so who was the person beside him?

Zhou Qingbai!

When this name jumped into Xia Yings mind, she seemed to be suddenly injected with a strong force, making her half sit up suddenly, and threw herself on the man beside her, and saw the mans face clearly. The man was tall and strong, with a sharp and tough face. Even though he was sleeping at this moment, his tightly furrowed eyebrows showed that he and Zhou Yiming were two completely different people.

Zhou Qingbai, Xia Ying didnt know him, but at this moment, it was like grabbing a life-saving straw.

She had only been close to a man other than Zhou Yiming once in her life, which made Zhou Yiming feel uncomfortable for many years. Although she and Zhou Qingbai had something in their wine during this time, even though they lay in the same bed all night, they were innocent. But in her previous life, she felt extremely guilty about Zhou Yimings attitude, but she forgot that when she and Zhou Qingbai were lying together innocently, Zhou Yiming and Jiao Qinqin, who was supposed to marry Zhou Qingbai, had already cooked rice. Whats even more outrageous is that when Zhou Yiming was assigned a job after graduating from university and took Jiao Qinqin and their children away, she learned the secret.

The secret is that the stuff in her and Zhou Qingbais wine was put in by Zhou Yiming!

Xia Ying lay on Zhou Qingbais hot chest, but her teeth chattered with cold when she thought of this incident.

She really got a chance to start over. Although she didnt get to start over earlier, so that she would rather die than marry into the Zhou family, it doesnt seem too late now. At this moment, she and Zhou Qingbai were lying together. In the east room separated by the living room, Zhou Yiming and Jiao Qinqin should have rolled together, right?

This time, she would not believe Zhou Yimings lies again.

This time, she would not be fooled by Xiang Meilans sweet words again.

This time, she... She would never listen to them again even if she was cut off by her parents!

Yes, my younger brother was born weak, and the Xia family only had them, but she could take care of him without relying on men. In her previous life, she was confused and wasted her life alone in this old house in the countryside. If she could grit her teeth and walk out early, as long as she was diligent, she could always earn a bowl of rice to eat. My younger brother treated her so well, at worst she wouldnt eat, Ill give it all to me.

Yes, Zhou Yiming will be a big hit in the future as his name implies, but what if he gets into college and gets a good job? He doesnt like her, and he doesnt like my younger brother either. His parents wanted to find a potential son-in-law to take care of him, but in the end, it was all in vain.

Xia Ying slowly raised her head, looked at Zhou Qingbai quietly for a moment, then reached out and covered his forehead.

Her hands were cold, Zhou Qingbai, who was sleeping in a daze and feeling extremely uncomfortable, suddenly felt like a spring breeze was blowing into his heart, and it was like a gurgling stream in the mountain stream flowing through his heart, making him breathe a sigh of relief and feel comfortable all over.

His tightly furrowed eyebrows slowly relaxed, and he even rubbed Xia Yings hand unconsciously according to his instinct.

Xia Yings eyes were dim, and she also breathed a sigh of relief.

After the incident of entering the wrong bridal chamber in her previous life, Zhou Yiming, Xiang Meilan and even her parents came to persuade her, and she finally followed Zhou Yiming. As for Jiao Qinqin, she had been unclear with Zhou Yiming, and now it was a done deal. How could she be willing to leave Zhou Yiming and be with Zhou Qingbai? Of course, Zhou Qingbai didnt seem to be happy either. He left after a big fight with his father-in-law Zhou Zheng, and he never came back until she died.

Where did he go?

Is he living well alone?

Xia Ying didnt know, and now that everything has started, its even more impossible to know.

He is her lifeline now, but she may not be his. They must have a good talk. But before talking... she needs his help! Biting her lips tightly, Xia Ying forced herself to take off her clothes. After resting for half an hour, she selfishly took off Zhou Qingbais clothes expressionlessly.

…

The west side of the Zhou familys old house was completely quiet, and the east side also quieted down after a duet of men and women.

Zhou Yiming and Jiao Qinqin have liked each other since they first fell in love, but Jiao Qinqin has always been smart, so it was not until this moment that Zhou Yiming finally got her body.

"Qinqin, its late, lets go to bed."

Jiao Qinqin rubbed him unwillingly and said, "Brother Yiming, what do you think the two in the west room are doing now?"

She and Zhou Yiming are in love with each other. Zhou Yiming put something in the wine today, but her cooperation was indispensable. And this idea was also discussed by her and Zhou Yiming. Thinking about what they just did, Jiao Qinqins tone was more or less a bit different.

Zhou Yimings face froze in the darkness: "I dont know."

Jiao Qinqins attitude became more obvious, and she even took on a bit of gloating: "Do you think they will be the same as us?"

Taking advantage of the darkness, Zhou Yimings face darkened with relief.

He liked Jiao Qinqin, but he didnt hate Xia Ying, not to mention that Xia Ying had a generous dowry. If Xia Ying became Zhou Qingbais, wouldnt the dowry also become Zhou Qingbais? He would never allow such a thing to happen. Xia Ying was married to him in a formal way, and he had to take the college entrance examination, go to college, and even find connections for work in the future. All these expenses had to be paid by Xia Ying.

But he was not worried. He toasted Zhou Qingbai many glasses of wine tonight, and each glass was spiked. Not only would Zhou Qingbai sleep soundly all night, but even if he woke up tomorrow morning and knew the truth, he would be weak and have no strength to do anything to Xia Ying.

He was relieved and replied perfunctorily: "Maybe."

Jiao Qinqin didnt know what he meant. She hugged his waist tightly and put her face on his chest affectionately: "I really hope they are like us. Even if mom finds out tomorrow morning, both sides have already done it. Even if mom is angry and unwilling, there is nothing she can do."

Zhou Yiming heard the worry in her tone and was reluctant to let her go. He comforted her: "Dont worry, Im here."

Jiao Qinqin smiled sweetly: "Well, Brother Yiming, I believe you."

...

That night, Xia Ying only slept for two or three hours. She woke up before dawn the next day. She didnt scream like in her previous life because she woke up early and found that the person sleeping next to her was not right. After she woke up, she lay quietly, counting the time with her eyes open, guessing whether Zhou Yiming came first or Xiang Meilan came first.

After hearing Jiao Qinqins scream, she guessed it.

Sure enough, the next moment, the frail old lady Xiang Meilan punched and kicked, making the door of the west room bang.

"Open the door! Zhou Qingbai! You beast, you conscienceless thing, open the door for me!" She slapped and shouted.

With such a loud noise, Zhou Qingbai rubbed his temple and slowly opened his eyes. After a moment of stunned, he heard Xiang Meilans words clearly. Beast? Conscienceless thing? What did he do? How did he become a beast and a conscienceless thing?

Since he turned ten, Xiang Meilan, his stepmother, didnt have the courage to scold him like this. What kind of crazy is she today? !

Although he had a headache, he still supported the bed with one hand and tried to get up.

His hand was soft and slippery. Before he could react, he heard a female voice crying out in pain: "Ah, it hurts, big brother, you pressed me!"

Big brother!

On the wedding night, the person he married should never call him big brother!

He still held Xia Yings hand tightly, and turned his head to look over. When he saw Xia Ying, who was only wearing a small vest, with her smooth shoulders and face looking up at him, he was completely stunned.

"Xia... Xia Ying?"

Xia Ying blinked, and her eyes turned red: "... my hand hurts."

"Ah? Oh, oh!" Zhou Qingbai let go of his hand as if he was burned by fire, and then looked at Xia Ying, who was now disheveled with her hair loose and only wearing a small vest, and looked away and moved back suddenly, and then fell heavily to the ground without paying attention.
