Time flew by like an arrow, and in the blink of an eye, it was the Spring Festival of 1967.
Liu Haizhong, who was at the height of his power, became the deputy director of the factory office, truly a position second to none.
The two boys of the Liu Family also enjoyed immense prestige; after all, they had a good father.
After marriage, Yu Haitang became even more proactive.
Outside, heavy snow fell, but inside Liu Haizhong's home, it was warm and lively.
The Liu Haizhong family was gathered around the table, eating mutton hotpot.
"Dad, what exactly is the situation with Xu Damao and He Yushui's family?" Yu Haitang asked while eating.
Hearing this, Liu Haizhong already understood Yu Haitang's intentions, and he was a bit displeased in his heart, as this was not his idea, but his daughter-in-law's own decision.
He raised his wine glass, took a sip, and said, "Their matters cannot be explained in a few words, but remember this: you can mess with anyone, but never mess with them!"
Upon hearing Liu Haizhong's words, Yu Haitang did not press further but instead asked Liu Guangtian that night.
Liu Guangtian, however, told her all the important details, and only then did Yu Haitang realize how difficult her old colleague was to provoke!
Understanding the whole story also made Yu Haitang abandon her original idea!
Xu Damao saw the Liu Family's good sense. For the past six months, Xu Damao had been paying close attention to the Liu Family. If the Liu Family posed any threat, he would nip it in the bud immediately.
He Yushui shared the same thoughts as Xu Damao. Coming from the apocalypse, she had long regarded others' lives as mere trifles!
"Is your brother still not coming back?" Xu Damao put down his wine glass and looked at He Yushui, asking.
For some reason, He Yushui's cooking skills were excellent. Ever since He Yushui displayed her cooking prowess, the two began sharing meals. Initially, He Yushui would still cook, but as time went on, to avoid attracting attention, He Yushui simply revealed her spatial ability generously, directly taking out ready-made meals. This frankness alone significantly lowered Xu Damao's guard against her. Naturally, their relationship also grew better and better, as everyone wanted a free cook.
In this cold winter, eating delicious food and having a few drinks, life couldn't be more pleasant.
"It's so chaotic outside now, and Sha Zhu is such an oblivious person. Why would I let him come back?" He Yushui said without even thinking.
"You're right. If Sha Zhu came back, who knows what trouble he would cause. With the sky high and the emperor far away, Bao City is quite a good place!" Xu Damao agreed.
He Yushui smiled and said, "Let him come back when things stabilize in a few years!"
He Yushui paused, glanced at Xu Damao, and continued, "My brother found a wife, and now his wife is pregnant!"
"Oh!" Xu Damao responded softly, continuing to eat his food and drink his wine.
Seeing Xu Damao's calm expression, He Yushui, on the contrary, became a little uneasy. She looked deeply at Xu Damao and asked, "Don't you have any thoughts?"
Xu Damao smiled and said, "Sha Zhu getting married and having a child, what thoughts could I have? He hasn't provoked me now. It's not like I'm going to run to Bao City to find trouble with him, is it? Moreover, your sister-in-law is innocent, and the child is innocent!"
Hearing this, He Yushui knew that Xu Damao had misunderstood her meaning.
After a moment of silence, He Yushui said, "I come from the apocalypse!"
Xu Damao was startled, put down his chopsticks, leaned back in his chair, and quietly watched He Yushui.
"That World was full of terrifying mutated beasts. I originally thought that after eliminating all the mutated beasts, a new and peaceful World would arrive, but I discovered a larger conspiracy waiting for humanity. It was a conspiracy from outer space. Although I possessed powerful strength at the time, in front of them, I was still so insignificant. In desperation, I could only hide in my spatial ability. I hid for decades, and when I left my spatial ability, the original World had become a completely strange World, a World belonging to aliens!"
He Yushui paused, looked intently at Xu Damao, and continued, "After I came to this World, I originally thought I would never trust anyone again and would live out this life peacefully by myself. As we interacted more and more, my thoughts changed. In this life, I don't want to walk alone anymore!"
Upon hearing He Yushui's words, Xu Damao trembled. Both of them had their secrets. Today, He Yushui was being open and honest about her secret. How could he not understand He Yushui's meaning!
It had been a year since he came to this plane, and Xu Damao was also thinking about his future. Even if he were to lie flat, he would still need to get married and have children, and he would need to find someone to warm his bed.
Wasn't He Yushui, who had confessed everything, also Xu Damao's best choice?
"I want to lie flat!" After a moment of silence, Xu Damao said.
"Pfft!" Hearing Xu Damao's words, He Yushui laughed in exasperation. Such a heartfelt confession from her was met with such a response.
He Yushui, her smile gone, glared at Xu Damao resentfully and said, "Then I'll be responsible for earning money!"
Xu Damao smiled slightly and said, "Then I'll leave my hundred-plus pounds to you!"
...
Night fell, and the bright moonlight sprinkled over the land, as if adorning this beautiful land with a layer of silver gauze, extraordinarily enchanting.
Inside Xu Damao's room, He Yushui held a white towel, wiping her wet hair. Under the light, her fair skin glowed, and her icy, jade-like, well-proportioned figure made Xu Damao, who was beside her, swallow hard.
The room was very quiet, making the atmosphere particularly ambiguous. In this dim room, the two could even clearly hear each other's breathing.
Sensing Xu Damao's accelerated breathing, He Yushui's lips curved slightly, revealing a triumphant smile.
Wearing a bathrobe, she slowly stood up, put down the towel in her hand, turned her head, and glanced at Xu Damao.
Unbeknownst to him, a faint blush had appeared on He Yushui's fair face, looking so alluring.
Gradually, the two came together.
