Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 1018

Chapter 1018: Chapter 891: Junkyard?

The couple continued talking as Zhang Guoqing turned off the main light, switched on the small bedside lamp, propped up the pillows, leaned against the headboard, and gently hugged his wife, patting her softly.

Zhou Jiao gave him a sidelong glance in mild annoyance. She wasn’t a child!

"Hahaha..." Zhang Guoqing chuckled heartily, feeling that his little wife often made him feel like he was raising a daughter. Not that there was any real objection!

Zhou Jiao smacked his firm chest speechlessly, then looked at his fair skin under the lamp, giggling at the thought. Imagining his pale complexion among the rough and dark soldiers in the bathhouse was such an incongruous picture.

No wonder this guy didn’t like going to the bathhouse!

She wondered how he managed during military training at the academy with that awkward scene? Was his drive to win awards partly due to this?

Yes, she should find a chance to ask Yi Jiefang.

"Mmm, you like your man a lot?" Zhang Guoqing boasted, flexing his arm, "Look at your man, not even Mr. Universe can compare."

"If your man weren’t always so low-key, I would’ve been on the cover of last year’s military magazine. No one embodies the tough guy image better than me..."

Zhou Jiao grinned mischievously, pinching his cheeks and squeezing hard, "Low-key? Face, where’s your face? Want to pose with some wild woman?"

"Mo... I love you..."

His mumbled "I love you the most" delighted Zhou Jiao, making her smile brightly as she gently caressed his face, tracing his features.

"Wife, darling, beneath the heavens, everything is dust, and only you are the pearl of my heart. Infiltrating my bones, mingling with my blood, never to be relinquished!"

"Hahaha..." As soon as Zhang Guoqing finished speaking, Zhou Jiao burst into laughter, collapsing weakly into his arms.

"Isn’t it odd? Shouldn’t you respond passionately, begging to have little monkeys with me? I took ages to remember this line, it was all the rage online back in the day."

Hearing this, Zhou Jiao looked up at his pretend grievance and laughed even harder, "Oh, my stomach, my intestines, it hurts."

Zhang Guoqing shook his head with a smile, gently rubbing her belly. At least his efforts paid off, and his wife should wear a bright smile every day.

As he rubbed, the atmosphere between the couple grew intimate. Zhou Jiao’s face turned red with shyness, casting him a coquettish eye-roll, shifting slightly in his embrace.

The old hand wanted to drive again!

"Bro, I passed by the west city junkyard today. Oh no, it should be called the recycling station. The yard outside was piled high with stuff, and they were bringing even more in by the truckload."

Zhang Guoqing gave her a mysterious smile, not minding that his wife was playing little tricks on him.

Hehe... Trying to distract himself?

The night was still young.

—No internet or endless social obligations. Rising at dawn, resting at sunset, life felt truly fulfilling.

But thinking about hitting the recycling station so soon? Look at that thought process, truly unwise... Yet, why did he like his wife even more?

"I was thinking of taking a peek inside, but there were too many people around. By the time they left, I was in a rush to get back. Are you interested in treasure hunting?"

Zhang Guoqing scratched his nose, unsure how to respond. If he was too dismissive, they’d waste energy wandering aimlessly and tire his wife out; too encouraging, she might be greatly disappointed.

Actually, actually... not just the west city recycling station, he’d visited those in the suburbs too. No one knew these places better than him!

Rare books and manuscripts, celebrity calligraphy and paintings reduced to pulp at a paper factory; precious woods like huanghuali and zitan along with furniture used as fuel because of their high oil content and burn resistance.

These rumors were false!
