Chapter 24: Don’t Escape Me

Transported to 1976?

Tang Siqi’s eyes widened in disbelief.

She simply didn’t believe Chu Ning’s words, and retorted sharply, “Little Lemon, you never watch time-travel dramas or read time-travel novels. You think I’ll believe this?”

Chu Ning chuckled, “I knew no one would believe me.”

“Of course I wouldn’t believe you.”

Tang Siqi cupped Chu Ning’s delicate face, pinching it hard several times. “Zhou Chenhao hurt your heart, how come your brain is damaged, and your nerves are wrong?”

Soon, Tang Siqi remembered Chu Ning’s previous mention of a medical checkup, and asked, “When you had your checkup last time, wasn’t it because your nerves were really problematic?”

After her first return from time travel, Chu Ning felt something was wrong with her. Now, more than ever, she was certain that place truly existed.

She glared at Tang Siqi, “I’m not crazy, believe it or not.”

Chu Ning collapsed onto the bed, her mind filled with the vivid faces of the people she had encountered in the past.

Seeing this, Tang Siqi’s nerves tightened. She sat beside Chu Ning and tentatively asked, “That night you were drunk, the soldier you kept calling, wasn’t it the one you met in the past?”

Hearing this, Chu Ning was stunned, “That night I was drunk, I called Fu Yuzhou’s name?”

Tang Siqi paused, nodding and honestly saying, “You also said he was responsible, that he kissed you, took advantage of you. Chu Ning, you guys didn’t actually sleep… uh.”

Chu Ning suddenly covered Tang Siqi’s mouth, “Keep your voice down, don’t let my mom hear.”

Chu Ning was also a little panicked, not wanting to scare her mother with these unbelievable things.

Tang Siqi closed her mouth, but her mind was in chaos.

Looking at Chu Ning, she felt lost, her voice lowered.

“So, did you guys really sleep together?”

“No.”

Chu Ning’s voice was flat. Although she shamelessly flirted with Fu Yuzhou, it didn’t mean she had no bottom line.

However, even so, Tang Siqi still couldn’t accept Chu Ning’s time travel deep down.

She said to Chu Ning, “What should we do? Ningning, think carefully, did you fantasize another world with a knight to save you because you were hurt by Zhou Chenhao and subconsciously wanted to escape this world?”

After all, this kind of plot often appears on TV.

In real life, suffering from harm, humiliation, and oppression, one would subconsciously want to rebel, fantasizing about a savior in a new world to rescue them.

“After saying so much, you’re still suspicious. Tang Siqi, if you don’t believe me, just shut up.”

Chu Ning was getting impatient. Wasting so much breath on one issue, and Tang Siqi still thought she was sick.

Chu Ning really didn’t want to say another word.

Hearing this, Tang Siqi said, “I believe you, but you at least have to tell me how you came back and whether you want to go back to that era?”

Seeing Tang Siqi’s curiosity, Chu Ning told her everything about her time travel and what happened with Fu Yuzhou in the past.

After listening, Tang Siqi let out a goose-like laugh, “Haha, Little Lemon, you’ve had quite the adventure. I think this Fu Yuzhou is a repressed man.

He must have been smitten by you, which is why he got angry and yelled at you when you tried to match him with that Chu Zhiqing.

People in the old days were very conservative. You should just go find Fu Yuzhou, don’t come back. Anyway, Zhou Chenhao is a jerk, you might as well fly away with that eight-pack abs, rough-and-tumble battalion commander whose body you’ve seen and touched!”

The gloating words made Chu Ning’s scalp tingle.

She shook her head and said, “No, I don’t want to go back. He is a bastard who doesn’t know how to appreciate a good person. I won’t live with him forever.”

Tang Siqi knew Chu Ning best, knowing that she would only get angry if she cared about someone.

She stared intently at Chu Ning’s face, “Chu Ning, you’re done for, you’ve fallen for Fu Yuzhou. I guarantee you’ll fall in love with him, you’ll definitely go find him.”

Chu Ning immediately denied, “Impossible.”

“We’ll see.”

Tang Siqi saw on Chu Ning’s reluctant face the resentful look she had when she was rejected by Zhou Chenhao after her first pursuit.

Chu Ning swore, “Let’s see.”

After speaking, Chu Ning took her pajamas and went to the bathroom to shower. She hadn’t slept well in Fu Yuzhou’s dormitory.

Now she just wanted a good night’s sleep.

Tang Siqi stared blankly at Chu Ning’s disappearing back in the bathroom, hesitating whether to tell Chu Ning’s parents about this.

•  

Militia Camp.

Fu Yuzhou gave his bed to Chu Ning. He slept on the floor all night, causing him to lose sleep. At that time, he thought Chu Ning was a troublemaker.

He swore he would only sleep on the floor for one night, and he would definitely get his bed back and make Chu Ning sleep on the floor.

Now that Chu Ning had gone back and was sleeping on the bed, he should be happy.

However, he unexpectedly wasn’t happy.

He would always think of Chu Ning, whether it was her sharp tongue, her aggressive behavior, or her teasing and cleverness, it always touched his heart.

He was really curious how that woman suddenly appeared in his dormitory?

Why did she disappear inexplicably?

Would she suddenly come back?

The more Fu Yuzhou thought about it, the more confused his mind became, and the more chaotic his heart became!

His eyes uncontrollably looked towards the place where Chu Ning had appeared last time, as if waiting for her to return.

However, it was empty, there was no one there.

Just like his empty heart, as if something needed to be filled.

This night, Fu Yuzhou tossed and turned, losing sleep again because of Chu Ning.

He felt like he was going crazy. It was just a woman who unexpectedly appeared in his life, coming and going in a hurry, not belonging to this world. How could he be so unsettled by her?

And still thinking about her?

“You’re a troublemaker, Chu Ning. You provoked me, messed up my heart, and then ran away? You better not come back, otherwise, I…”

In the end, Fu Yuzhou couldn’t say a word.

Because he knew very well that his heart was expecting Chu Ning to come back again.

•  

Midnight.

Chu Ning was awakened by a dream.

“Fu Yuzhou.”

She sat up calling Fu Yuzhou’s name, her smooth forehead covered in cold sweat, breathing heavily, her terrified look heartbreaking.

Tang Siqi, who was sleeping next to her, was also awakened. Seeing Chu Ning’s terrified look, she asked, “Lemon, did you have a nightmare?”

Chu Ning looked at Tang Siqi in shock, saying softly, “Yeah, it was like a nightmare. I dreamt that Fu Yuzhou came to our world, waiting for me in my rented house.”

Chu Ning clearly remembered that in the dream, Fu Yuzhou kept calling her name.

She tried to escape that old era, refusing to answer Fu Yuzhou, but Fu Yuzhou suddenly appeared in her house.

Standing in front of her, he confidently told her, “Chu Ning, you provoked me, so without my permission, you’re not allowed to escape me.”
