Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Chapter 1702: Chapter 1696 Silver Wolf

“This time you won’t make any sudden moves again, will you?” Even Silver Wolf sounded uncertain.

“I won’t, now let me go.” Qing Zhu wasn’t stupid. The first mishap could be chalked up to an accident, a mistake, but what about the second time? Could that still be considered an accident?

Since she couldn’t match his skills, why waste more effort? She was starving, exhausted, and out of strength. Whatever he wanted to do, she couldn’t fight him off. She might as well concede defeat now.

“Promise me you mean it.” Silver Wolf slowly loosened his grip on her.

In the darkness, Qing Zhu couldn’t see the face of the man behind her, but his voice and build told her that it was a man.

“I mean it. Why did you stop me earlier? I was going to look for that child.” Qing Zhu tried to stand, but her legs had cramped from squatting too long. As soon as she half-stood, she teetered and fell straight forward.

Silver Wolf watched her collapsing toward him. He wanted to dodge, but if he evaded, the woman would crash hard onto the ground, which would be painful and loud. They’d be discovered immediately.

But if he didn’t move, she’d fall directly onto him, which could also attract attention. At least she wouldn’t get hurt, though.

After weighing his options, Silver Wolf chose not to move, letting her fall right onto him. What he never expected was that as this accident occurred, something even more surprising would follow. His lips—what was going on with his lips?

Silver Wolf’s eyes widened as he stared at Qing Zhu, whose eyes were also wide in shock. Neither of them had anticipated this kind of accident, leaving them frozen in place. They just stared at each other, big eyes locking onto wide eyes, neither making a move. It wasn’t until a loud shout broke the silence that they snapped back to reality.

“Who’s there?” Da Tou’s voice rang out first, yelling in alarm.

“Da Tou, what’s wrong?” Gao Ge, also startled awake by Da Tou’s shouting, asked groggily.

“I heard some movement over there.” Da Tou pointed toward where Qing Zhu and Silver Wolf were hidden.

“Who’d be out here in the middle of the night? Could it be Silver Wolf? Everyone, stay alert,” Gao Ge instructed after hearing Da Tou. He then roused the others. Just as they prepared to investigate—

“Meow, meow.” A few cat sounds came from the bushes.

“I thought it might be Silver Wolf. Turns out it’s just a cat. False alarm, everyone get back to resting. Whoever’s on watch duty, take over.” Gao Ge relaxed immediately upon hearing the cat sounds. As long as it wasn’t Silver Wolf, there was nothing to worry about.

But Yu Ze had also heard the sounds. However, what he picked up on wasn’t a cat’s meows, but the sounds of human breathing.

Could it be that Silver Wolf they’d been talking about? If it really was, this Silver Wolf was rather capable. Yu Ze was curious to see who this Silver Wolf actually was. But now wasn’t the time for him to act. He decided to let the others handle it first and observe.

With this thought, Yu Ze closed his eyes again and continued pretending to sleep. After all, he was just a child. Children needed plenty of rest; otherwise, lack of sleep would affect his growth and development.

Qing Zhu scrambled to her feet in a panic, doing her best to put some distance between herself and the man. She had just kissed someone—an actual kiss! Her long-preserved first kiss was gone, just like that.

Wait, no, her first kiss was already taken before, by that man she rescued. And now it had happened again. How could she be so unlucky, always ending up in these ridiculous situations?

Meanwhile, when Silver Wolf felt the woman’s lips press against his, a strange sense of familiarity swept over him. At that moment, he realized who she was. He didn’t expect to see her here of all places.

It wasn’t that Silver Wolf deliberately thought about Qing Zhu, but those buried memories from long ago naturally resurfaced in his mind under certain conditions. And that’s how he remembered this woman. Every time they met, something unexpected seemed to happen. He couldn’t tell if it was a blessing or a curse.

But what was she doing here? Did she know that child? That boy was Chu Molin’s son. Then again, it made sense. She’d been living in the village for so long—it was normal for her to know Yu Ze.
