Lying in bed, Su Ranshan was somewhat dazed, unable to snap out of it for a long time.

What is happening? Wasn't she dead?

Just a moment ago, she was in the ward, writhing in pain, confused, only to wake-up and find everything changed.

Looking at the familiar yet strange house before her eyes, Su Ranshan's heart was thumping wildly.

No other reason, but because this was the very room she had before her divorce with him.

Unlike the other thatched huts in the team, the roof of the room was tiled with rows of neat tiles.

There was a window on each side of the door.

Unlike the huge windows in modern times that take up half a wall, the windows back in those days were pitifuly small.

Dim light filtered in through the window, barely illuminating the table and long bench placed by the wall.

At the foot of the bed, there was a simple cabinet.

The furniture was fairly new, not having been used much and looking quite fresh.

Unlike other houses, that used hardened dirt, this room's floor was tiled too.

The walls were built with bricks and cement.

Such a brick-tiled house already stood out in the team.

Because many people use bamboo woven and mud-daubed walls in their houses in the team.

It is easy to imagine how poor the Water Bridge squad has become.

Not knowing how much time has passed, Su Ranan moved her hand slightly, intending to crawl out of bed.

But after a struggle, she found herself without any strength; her stomach was completely hollow.

With great difficulty, she got down from the bed and as soon as she stood firmly, she couldn't help swaying.

After the dizziness passed, Su Ranan began rummaging around the room.

The more she observed, the more astonished she became.

The rough mat and pillow made of vine grass, the lumpy floor, the realistic touch made her a bit at a loss.

Suddenly, as if realising something, she staggered to the table.

She picked up an old-fashioned mirror from the table.

After a pause, she took a deep breath before tremblingly lifting up the mirror in her hand.

In the mirror, there was a pale and thin face.

The pair of willow leaf-shaped eyebrows were like distant mountains, a pair of apricot eyes were as clear as water, her straight nose, and originally bright lips now lacked blood colour.

Nevertheless, despite her sallow complexion, Su Ranan recognized it as her own face when she was twenty.

Realizing this, her heartbeat paused for a moment.

The hand holding the mirror, was trembling more severely!

A sudden sense of surprise left her head spinning for a moment.

Had she returned to 1975?

To confirm her thoughts, Su Ranshan pinched herself fiercely.

When the burning pain reached from her thigh, she couldn't help but tear up!

It's true!

She really returned to the past!

But the thought of that man caused Su Ranshan's heart to pause.

In the last life, right after she was sent to work in the countryside, she was targeted by a no-good person from the team.

Having been warned by other female intellectuals, Su Ranshan knew better, and never moved alone.

But no matter how careful, there are times when one becomes neglectful.

That day, Su Ranshan and two female intellectuals agreed to go pick up firewood together.

Initially, the three of them knew to stick together and not to separate, but later on, there were too many mushrooms on the mountain. Without knowing how, they all went their separate ways.

When she came to her senses, Su Ranshan saw a malicious smile!

Recognizing the person to be the no-good from the team, her heart sank in despair.

Just when Su Ranshan thought she was going to be violated, Shen He appeared.

He indeed proved himself a military man, strong bodied, powerful, and extremely strong.

That low-life she could not resist was like a puny chicken in his hands, knocked down with one punch!

Su Ranshan was saved, unscathed!

However, rumors about her started to circulate in the team, claiming that she had been violated by the low-life!

Even worse, those people talked as if they had witnessed it themselves.

Hearing all these unbearable words, Su Ranshan felt both angry and afraid, but she had no way to defend herself.

Who would believe her under such circumstances?

Just when more and more people were giving her strange looks, Shen He sent a matchmaker to propose marriage.

At that moment, Su Ranshan didn't know what to feel.

In such a rural place, when a woman loses her reputation, it's like losing her livelihood.

Others’ sheer disdain could potentially drown you!

Su Ranshan had no choice but to marry this man she barely knew!

A quiet and slightly stern military man.

And her impression of him still remained on the evaluation of the aunty's in the team.

He was powerful, reticent, and could kill a wild boar all by himself!

Yet, such a man participated in activities unfitting to his status on the wedding night, similar to those of a hooligan.

Suzanne felt terrified!

At a young age of seventeen or eighteen, when she was sent to the countryside, no one had ever taught her how to handle her wedding night.

In these conservative times, only debauchees engaged in such activities.

The man was also inexperienced, they were not a match and despite the few times, Suzanne was so agonized.

Her fear made her overlook his care for her. If she could, she would rather avoid him at all costs.

Half a month after marrying Shen Hé, Suzanne had become almost skeletal.

People in the team were starting to gossip, suggesting that she must have been defiled by a scoundrel, concluding that Shen Hé had grown to detest her.

At that moment, Shen Hé received an urgent military summons to return to his unit.

Before he left, Shen Hé did ask Suzanne if she wanted to accompany him to the barracks. But she was so fearful of him that she didn't want to.

And so, the newly-weds, who had just known each other for a month, bid each other a hasty farewell.

Suzanne was relieved when he left for the barracks.

However, the team's gossip only increased in his absence.

Without Shen Hé around for protection, the Shen family members started casting strange glances at her.

After enduring a suffocating year like this, she received a letter from her mother, telling her she had returned to the city, and urged her to rush home as well.

At that time, Shen He just happened to be on a break.

After another mismatched and painful night, Su Ranshan could no longer bear it and proposed to go back to the city!

Perhaps, she would never forget the expression on Shen He's face when he found out she wanted to return to the city.

That fierce gaze, as if he intended to devour her!

Su Ranshan was even more frightened!

She was so frightened that she couldn't eat for several days! Until he reluctantly agreed to divorce her and let her go back to the city.

However, with his consent, there was a hint of confusion in Su Ranshan’s heart.

She vaguely realized that she might have made a mistake.

But fear prevailed, and she still decided to leave!

Yet, it seemed like fate wouldn’t let her go. After all the paperwork was completed, there suddenly came a heavy rainstorm in the squadron!

The heavy rain lasted a whole week.

Then came the flash floods and mudslides!

In the chaos, in order to save her, that man was swept away by the flood right before her eyes!

At that moment, Su Ranshan hadn't realized what she lost. But deep in her heart, it felt like a piece was missing.

It wasn't until a midnight flashback, the man's hot gaze lingering in her mind, that Su Ranshan felt a heart-wrenching pain!

When she finally understood those intimate moments that had been too awkward for her to bring up, realizing that it was nothing more than a husband's affectionate love for his wife, Su Ranshan nearly went mad.

She finally comprehended how she had lost a man who had placed her at the pinnacle of his heart, a man she loved in return.

At this thought, Su Ranshan could no longer stand in place. With a stumble and a stagger, she recklessly rushed towards the entrance.

However, she neglected to remember how frail her body was. Just as she barely reached the entrance, her legs that were straining to hold her up faltered!

As Su Ranshan panicked, she made an unsightly tumble forward.

Just as she was about to hit the doorstep…

In the next moment, her arm was firmly gripped by a burning hot hand!

The moment she realized whose hand it was, Su Ranshan's heart gave a terrible jolt!

Before she had time to look up, she heard a deep voice atop her head, a weary voice of a man.

"Where are you going?"
