(Yihua) Rettet seine Frau auf der ganzen Welt [Schnelle Wiedergeburt]

Kapitel 1

1. Chapter 1

At ten o'clock in the morning, Chu Yi woke up in bed. Qiao Anchen had already gone to work. He always moved very quietly and would not disturb her at all.

She took two slices of toast from the refrigerator, heated them up, fried an egg, added ham, and poured herself a glass of milk. It was almost 10:30 when she started eating breakfast.

Chu Yi is a cartoonist whose works are serialized on a website, updated weekly, and whose working hours are flexible.

She started learning to draw from elementary school, studying sketching, watercolor, oil painting, and a little bit of everything.

After being introduced to comics in junior high school, she became completely obsessed. She not only loved reading them but also loved drawing them. While others filled the blank spaces in their textbooks with notes, she filled them with little drawings.

Through the art exam in high school, he barely made it into one of the top universities in Lancheng. Naturally, he applied for the art major because the university environment and free time were much freer than high school, giving him more time to do what he liked.

During my sophomore year, a comic I casually serialized online caught the eye of an editor, and not only was it successfully signed for publication, but it also garnered a considerable following.

Chu Yi is now a big name with hundreds of thousands of followers on Weibo, and the website where he serializes his comics is still the same one, only he has gone from being an unknown to a top-tier author on the site.

The income is also quite considerable. Right after graduating from university, I bought my own house and moved out of my family home. Since then, I have been a full-time homemaker and have never gone out to work.

She is 26 years old this year. She married Qiao Anchen through a blind date arranged by her family. They are now a month into their marriage.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Chu Yi finished tidying up and started working. She had a separate study room, which Qiao Anchen specially prepared when she moved in.

Time flies when you're engrossed in painting. The sky outside the window gradually darkens, and the room becomes dim. She puts down her brush and picks up her phone from the table beside her.

There is a new message above.

Qiao Anchen: [Working overtime tonight, won't be home for dinner.] Chu Yi was used to it, her eyes lowered, her fingers typing quickly on the keyboard.

【OK.】

Scrolling up the chat history, the conversations between the two were mostly about trivial topics, with Qiao Anchen explaining his schedule to Chu Yi and Chu Yi giving polite replies.

After sending the message, Chu Yi stretched. Qiao Anchen ate almost all three meals at the procuratorate's canteen on weekdays. She leaned back in her chair, idly scrolling through the food delivery page on her phone.

After dinner, I worked for a while longer. The clock on the wall pointed to eight o'clock. Chu Yi finally got up, found his pajamas, and went to the bathroom to wash up.

Nighttime is her leisure time. Chu Yi likes to surf the Internet, watch silly videos, follow social hot topics, and update her watchlist, comics, and TV series. Her nightlife is fulfilling and enjoyable.

When Qiao Anchen pushed open the door and came in, Chu Yi was sitting on the sofa, staring intently at the TV screen. There was a plate of sliced apples in front of her, and she picked up a piece and put it in her mouth.

"Huh? You're back." Hearing the noise, she finally looked away from the big screen and landed on him, her eyes shining brightly under the lights.

Qiao Anchen hummed in agreement, then bent down to change his shoes while loosening his tie. He then took off his suit jacket and casually hung it on the coat rack.

He went to the kitchen, poured himself a glass of water, pressed his fair knuckles against the glass, tilted his head back and took two sips. His Adam's apple bobbed on his long neck, and his collarbones were faintly visible between the collars of his white shirt.

Chu Yi turned to look at him, tilted her head slightly, and asked, "How was work today?"

"Same as usual." Qiao Anchen looked a little tired, answered softly, and walked into the bedroom.

Soon, the sound of running water came from the bathroom. Qiao Anchen usually takes a shower as soon as he gets back, which seems to be a way for him to relieve his fatigue.

Chu Yi sat back down and continued watching TV.

Qiao Anchen has very few entertainment activities and is not very interested in electronic products such as mobile phones and televisions. He spends most of his day working, and at home he usually reads and rests.

He rarely touches his phone before bed, reads a few pages of a book and then goes to sleep. His self-discipline is frightening, which makes Chu Yi admire him greatly.

When the two slept in the same bed for the first time, Chu Yi was indeed surprised. In this day and age, there are still people who can fall asleep without playing on their phones. Compared to her habit of staying up late, it was simply a miracle.

But she later discovered that Qiao Anchen didn't actually use his phone much during the day; his dependence on electronic products was mostly manifested in his Kindle.

Qiao Anchen reads several books every month, including professional law books and some miscellaneous books, many of which he has never even heard of.

She often felt like an illiterate person who had studied for more than ten years.

After watching today's program update, it was already 10 p.m. Chu Yi yawned, turned off the TV, and prepared to go back to her room to rest.

The room was lit by a warm yellow light. Qiao Anchen, wearing a dark blue checkered pajama, leaned against the headboard, reading a book in his hand.

He wore frameless glasses, which softened his daytime calm and solemn demeanor, making him appear much gentler.

When Chu Yi saw the cover, it was a pure black background with an all-English title, and she didn't seem to recognize a single word.

It seems like I wasted my time taking the CET-6 (College English Test Band 6) in college.

"What book are you reading?" Chu Yi moved closer, climbed onto the bed, lifted the covers and snuggled next to him, blinking as she asked.

“A law-related book from abroad.” Qiao Anchen pushed up his glasses, his gaze never leaving the book.

Chu Yi said "oh" and turned around, then took out his phone to start surfing the internet for the new day.

Time passed slowly, and even time seemed to become still in the quiet night. Occasionally, the rustling sound of papers being turned could be heard in the air. The two were doing their own things and did not speak.

This is basically their daily life after marriage: peaceful, natural, and respectful to each other.

As the night deepened, Qiao Anchen asked her a question and then turned off the bedside lamp, plunging the room into darkness. The blankets beside him rustled softly as he prepared to sleep.

Chu Yi glanced at the time in the upper right corner; it was 11:30.

It was a little earlier than usual, probably because I was quite tired from work.

The phone's glow was very faint, so Chu Yi deliberately dimmed the brightness. Her gaze was momentarily unfocused as she looked at the screen, but it quickly returned to normal.

That's probably what marriage is like; it's not about being inseparable and affectionate every day.

Chu Yi stayed up very late that day, and by the time she finally put her phone on the bedside table at 2 a.m., her eyes were a little sore and tired, but her mind was exceptionally clear.

She moved slightly, turned her head to look at the person next to her. In the darkness, only a faint outline could be seen, and her breathing was steady.

Chu Yi moved a little closer to him, stopped just before touching Qiao Anchen's shoulder, closed her eyes, and forced herself to fall asleep.

When Chu Yi woke up the next day, it was already bright daylight. She squinted and reached for her phone, grabbed it randomly and pressed a button. Sure enough, it showed 10:30. She turned it off and buried herself back into her pillow.

After a few seconds, Chu Yi reached out and touched the blanket. Sure enough, it was ice-cold. Qiao Anchen had been at work for quite some time.

Qiao Anchen returned home late that night as usual. Chu Yi wanted to chat with him a little longer, so she specially washed a plate of fruit, which consisted of plump, juicy, and sweet grapes.

Qiao Anchen glanced at them, picked two from the plate, put them in his mouth, and nodded in approval.

"It tastes good."

"I bought it specially today." Chu Yi smiled at him, and Qiao Anchen's expression softened as well. He nodded, then walked past her into the bedroom.

Chu Yi watched his retreating figure, opened her lips, and finally let out a barely perceptible sigh, gripping the fruit plate tightly in her hand.

Chu Yi waited until Qiao Anchen finished showering and came out. She turned on the projector at home and asked him if he wanted to watch a movie together. Qiao Anchen frowned and refused without thinking.

"I want to read a book for a while."

“Okay…” Chu Yi lowered his head and turned off the device.

"Aren't you going to watch it?" Qiao Anchen paused in his action of lifting the blanket, turned to look at her in confusion and asked. Chu Yi was silent for a moment.

"I don't want to watch it alone."

She subtly emphasized that Qiao Anchen responded with an "oh," nodded, picked up the book he had read the night before from the bedside table, opened it, and continued reading with focused and serious expression, wearing his glasses.

Chuyi: "..."

She usually wouldn't disturb Qiao Anchen when he was reading, and Chu Yi would quietly scroll through her phone, barely even turning over in bed.

The two lay together without exchanging a word. She felt as if she were with a roommate, enjoying each other's company in solitude.

After reading for a while, I turned off the light. Qiao Anchen got off work a little earlier today than yesterday; it was just past eleven o'clock.

"Aren't you going to sleep yet?" he muttered softly with his eyes closed.

"I'm not that early."

"Don't stay up late every day." Qiao Anchen said this as often as he used to, but Chu Yi just listened and didn't take it to heart at all.

This is something that would be said to almost every young person.

Don't stay up late.

But the nights they were supposed to stay up all night still happened, and no one could change that habit.

The phone light was dim, but it dispelled much of the darkness in the room. There was a faint fragrance in the air, a mixture of shampoo, shower gel, and other scents.

It has a faint, pleasant smell.

Qiao Anchen closed his eyes, and the image of Chu Yi standing in front of him suddenly appeared in his mind.

It's been raining a lot lately, and her pajamas haven't dried yet, so she's wearing a large t-shirt that barely covers her thighs, revealing her fair skin.

He swallowed hard, reached out, and pulled the person next to him into his arms.

Somewhat suddenly, Chu Yi paused for a moment, then turned off her phone and looked at him.

"do what?"

The room was completely dark, the light and shadows were dim, and they could vaguely see each other's faces through the hazy light filtering through the balcony curtains. Qiao Anchen's face pressed down, and their moist lips met.

"It's still early."

He kissed her while mumbling something, his hand reaching up from under her clothes. Chu Yi understood, her wrist went limp, the phone slipped from her palm, and she involuntarily clung to his shoulder.

"Oh," she mumbled in response, letting him do as he pleased.

Soon, the room was filled with panting and the lines under the covers rose and fell. When the noise finally stopped, there was a long silence before the bedside lamp was turned on with a 'snap'.

Both of them were sweating a little, but they were still pressed together. Chu Yi was held in his arms, thinking that he was still a little different from his roommate. No roommate would do these things.

2. Chapter 2

The first time Chu Yi met Qiao Anchen was at a coffee shop near her home.

She was woken up from her sleep by her mother, and then she got up to go on a blind date.

...

"My dear, this one is really good today. Mom would never lie to you. Your second aunt's friend's husband's distant nephew works at the procuratorate. I heard he's the most handsome guy in the procuratorate!"

Finally, the exhilarating mention of the "campus heartthrob" made the still-sleepy Chu Yi barely open one eye. She drowsily fluttered her eyelashes, stretched a hand out from under the covers to hold her phone, and rested her face on the pillow, recalling the past.

"Mom...you described the last bald uncle to me like that too...what was his name again...? Oh, the Chinese Academy of Sciences' most handsome guy, he was also the most handsome guy in the academy."

"Oh! That was a mistake! Who knew your aunt would be so unreliable!" Ms. Wenfang on the other end seemed to slap her thigh in anger, and then continued to worry about her important blind date.

"Hey kid, I've already made an appointment for you at the coffee shop in front of your apartment complex. It's at 10:30 in the morning. If we get along well, we can grab lunch together. If not, you can always go home and take a nap. What do you think?"
