I’ll Scratch Your Back Tomorrow
Upon seeing Lin Chuan smile while lowering his head, Su Su couldn’t help but be curious and asked, “What are you laughing at? Are you happy that I’m angry?”
“No, I just think you’re not fierce at all.”
“I can be very fierce!”
Su Su playfully pretended to be fierce and even struck a strongman pose to emphasize how fierce she could be.
However, Lin Chuan had already turned away.
“Don’t laugh, or I’ll show you how fierce I can be.” She ran over to see Lin Chuan’s smile, but he restrained her.
The height difference made it impossible for her to reach Lin Chuan, no matter how much she stretched her hand.
Frustrated, she felt like scratching him.
So, her hand turned into claws, but she still couldn’t reach him.
Suddenly, she heard a slightly teasing yet muffled voice, “I’ll let you scratch tomorrow.”
Su Su was completely stunned. Tomorrow was the day of their wedding, so what he meant was…
Oh my goodness, she didn’t expect the male lead to be so bold. He actually, he actually offered to let her scratch him.
When is the right time for a woman to scratch someone on her wedding day?
Su Su felt like she was about to explode on the spot.
She watched as Lin Chuan queued up at the supply and marketing cooperative to buy other things. She had a strong urge to scratch him.
Little did she know that Lin Chuan didn’t think much of it. His intention was that after tomorrow, they would be a married couple, and at that time, she could scratch him as much as she wanted, openly and honestly.
Unfortunately, having read numerous romance novels with spicy scenes, Comrade Su Su’s mind went in a different direction.
And she was filled with anticipation.
After all, her college classmates had already started exploring romance during their university days, but she remained single even after graduating and completing her postgraduate studies. She claimed she didn’t want it, but in reality, she just hadn’t met the right person. Now that she had, what was there to hesitate about? Let’s get on with it.
Thinking about it this way, she realised she needed to take this marriage seriously. First and foremost, she needed to make herself look prettier. Fortunately, she had brought makeup with her, and she also had new underwear. However, she couldn’t wear anything too advanced, as she was afraid the male lead would question her.
Her mind was in a mess, and before long, the male lead returned. He placed items on the cart one by one, all of which would be used for cooking tomorrow. After everything was placed, he suddenly took something out and handed it to Su Su before unhitching the donkey and getting on the cart.
What was it, something soft?
She was startled and took it out to look. It was a bag of ginseng snowflake paste that looked quite old-fashioned.
The seemingly tough and straightforward Lin Chuan had actually bought this for her, which was truly unexpected.
In the novel, it was said that after he married the female lead, they spent two days together but it wasn’t sweet at all. According to the female lead, he only did chores and smoked without any interest in life.
Wasn’t giving snowflake paste a romantic gesture?
However, she couldn’t get too excited yet; maybe he was told to buy it by his mother. So, on the cart, she poked Lin Chuan’s back and asked, “Did your mother ask you to buy this for me?”
“No, the wind is strong, don’t expose your face.”
“Oh, do you like me looking pretty?”
Lin Chuan didn’t say anything, but he pulled her behind him. His tough and thick-skinned body was not afraid of the cold wind, but he didn’t want the wind to harm the tender face of his future wife, which might make her less tender in the future. He had to take care of her and ensure she didn’t suffer.
He’s reserved, not saying anything.
However, he was quite attentive. She put the snowflake paste in her pocket to keep it from freezing. Although she didn’t need it right now, she might rely on these things for skincare in the future.
Speaking of which, since she arrived here, she noticed that she looked the same as before but had clearly become younger. She felt like she had returned to her teenage years. Her facial skin was in excellent condition, even without applying anything, it didn’t feel dry at all.
Getting a few years younger all of a sudden was indeed a pleasant surprise. This could be considered a perk, right?
He really lucked out, getting such a young and beautiful wife. Pinching her own face, she suddenly smiled.
“Why are you laughing?”
“I’m laughing because when you were chasing after educated youth Qin, you weren’t so proactive.”
He remained silent and whipped the donkey.
Su Su was jolted on the cart and grabbed onto his clothes in fear, but she continued, “Why don’t you tell me? Why?”
Pressured by her, Lin Chuan had no choice but to say, “I… I knew she didn’t want to marry me.”
“I’m not asking her; I’m asking you. Do you like her? If you like her, I’ll give way to her. After all, we’re not married yet.” This was an honest statement. While Su Su wanted a stable place to live, she also had some affection for the male lead. But if he liked someone else, she wouldn’t interfere.
“What are you talking about? I only have a sense of responsibility towards her.”
Lin Chuan spoke honestly. Despite his lack of romantic history, he was quite shrewd. He knew that if he wavered at this moment or said something inappropriate, he might lose his fiancée. Su Su was no ordinary village girl. She had attended college and was quite sharp. Despite her seemingly gentle demeanour, she was not naive. Knowing that she had recorded their conversation, Lin Chuan needed to be careful and win her trust.
It had to be said that everyone was blind to the fact that Lin Chuan, who appeared honest on the surface, was actually the most shrewd among them.
Su Su didn’t realise this and was overjoyed when she heard his response. She asked, “What about your thoughts on me?”
Lin Chuan was in a bit of a bind now. Despite his shrewdness, he wasn’t good with romantic words. Besides, in this era, people didn’t express their love and emotions as openly.
“Why aren’t you saying anything? Is it also out of a sense of responsibility because that day we slept on the same bed, so you feel responsible for me?” Su Su felt a bit embarrassed as she thought about it, but then she realised that there was no other way. Their acquaintance had been quite short, but she figured that she could take her time and make him fall for her.
“If it really doesn’t work out, you can just divorce.”
Well, for a modern person, divorce is quite common, but in this era, it’s not the same.
So, Lin Chuan considered it seriously and said, “I do have a responsibility towards you.”
“Oh,” Su Su sounded a bit disappointed, as responsibility was different from love.
Hearing her disappointment, Lin Chuan subconsciously tensed up and stuttered, “Since I’ve promised to marry you, it’s… it’s my lifelong responsibility.”
It sounded quite touching, but Su Su suddenly fell silent. Lin Chuan scratched his head, unsure of what he had said to offend his future bride.
