Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

"I'm narcissistic, and I also adore you," Meng Xinian said.

Chiang Xiao blinked her eyes, her heart racing, "W-when did you learn to say such sweet words?"

Was he trying to overwhelm her with sweetness all at once?

Meng Xinian let out a light laugh, then lowered his head and pressed a kiss on her lips. "I was especially afraid you'd get hurt just now."

So, he used to feel that actions were more important than words, and some words were too cheesy to say out loud. But now he felt he should express himself more, say more, let her know how deep his feelings for her were. In the future, if she encounters any danger, she might think more of him.

Thinking about how he would be sad and suffering, for his sake, she would take better care of herself.

Chiang Xiao's heart softened.

This man...

Meng Xinian kissed her once more and said, "I'll go up to pick herbs. Wait for me here, don't wander off."

He just wanted to keep her within his sight.

"Okay, I won't go."

Chiang Xiao indeed stood at the bottom of the rocky slope and watched him.

Meng Xinian climbed up with bare hands, without using any tools.

His movements were agile and smooth, looking as though it was effortless.

As long as there was a protrusion or a gap, he could utilize it, climbing quickly in no time.

"Brother Xinian, be careful, don't rush your hand, check for any insects or snakes first."

Chiang Xiao shouted from below.

Meng Xinian was about to reply when the sunlight shone directly down, glaringly bright. Suddenly, a scene flashed in his mind.

A woman was falling down from the cliff.

A loud crash.

Meng Xinian's heart tightened abruptly, like it had been pinched.

In that moment of distraction, he felt an illusion as if he were standing somewhere else.

Just as he tried to see clearly, something crumbled under his feet.

"Brother Xinian!"

Chiang Xiao saw the slight gap Meng Xinian was standing on suddenly give way, and his foot slipped, his body plunging downward.

Her face turned pale, and her voice trembled.

Fortunately, Meng Xinian snapped back to reality in an instant. Luckily, his legs were long and arms strong enough, he immediately found footing at another spot, his fingers gripping tightly onto another gap. Though he slipped a bit, he managed to stabilize himself.

Chiang Xiao felt like her heart was about to leap out.

He had already climbed to the top; falling over five meters with bushes, rocks, and hard soil below was no joke.

Given his skills and reflexes, an accident like this shouldn't occur.

If there was any slight movement beneath his feet, he should detect it quickly and adjust accordingly.

What happened?

Moreover, Chiang Xiao also noticed he was stationary for a brief moment earlier.

"Little, don't be afraid, I'm okay."

Meng Xinian had heard the tremble in Chiang Xiao's voice earlier, knowing she must be terrified. So the first thing he did upon returning to his senses was to reassure her.

"Be careful,"

Chiang Xiao also tried to calm herself down.

Then she quickly ran over, standing right below the slope.

Earlier, she was about two meters away.

But after the shock just now, Chiang Xiao suddenly thought of a safety method.

She stood directly beneath him.

If any real accident happened and he fell, she could immediately use space to catch him.

In the instant he entered space, she controlled it, and could instantly slow his fall.

So now, she stood directly beneath him, not moving.

Meng Xinian exhaled a sigh of relief. He couldn't understand why he had that illusion earlier.
