In an old house with three entrances and three exits, Su Bin was assisting Qin Zhenzhen as she enjoyed a swing.
As the swing soared to great heights, the sounds of Qin Zhenzhenâs delighted laughter filled the air.
âHahaha, this is so satisfying!â
The days of feigning pregnancy had truly wearied her. Enduring the constant pretense of fragility, using white powder to create a pale complexion, and occasionally feigning bouts of sickness had become tiresome.
Even during travel, she dared not display too much liveliness and confined herself to the carriage.
However, in the secluded Upper Forest, there was little to fear. As the saying went, the emperor was far away.
By chance, Su Bin had purchased a house with a robust swing in the backyard. Qin Zhenzhen, feeling playful after suppressing the urge for two days, had decided today was the day to indulge.
Assured that everyone in the house was trustworthy, she knew her secret pastime wouldnât be revealed.
Su Bin, far from discouraging her, aided in propelling the swing to greater heights.
Observing her with curiosity, he remarked, âIt seems like youâre no stranger to swinging?â
In their village, he had never encountered a swing capable of such heights. Moreover, rural folk, burdened by the struggle for daily sustenance, seldom had the luxury of crafting such elaborate playthings.
Having visited Qin Zhenzhenâs home before, he knew there was no such swing in the vicinity.
Upon entering Su Binâs house, Qin Zhenzhen hadnât noticed any signs of a swing in the backyard.
Yet, she seemed to be intimately familiar with it.
Casually, Qin Zhenzhen admitted, âThatâs right! I used to love swinging the most! It was one of the few things you could enjoy without spending money.â
As the words slipped out, she realized she had revealed a part of her past. Nevertheless, she didnât mind. Now that she was truly a wife to Su Bin, she intended to share her secrets gradually.
There were no secrets between husband and wife.
Su Bin, intrigued, inquired further, âWhen was this? Did you enjoy it before or after marrying me? Were you still a child when you started?â
Qin Zhenzhen chuckled, âWould you believe me if I said Iâve swung countless times in my dreams?â
âIn dreams, you donât have to worry about spending money on anything, right?â
Naturally skeptical, Su Bin didnât press the issue. Instead, he focused on pushing the swing with more enthusiasm.
After a while, Su Bin brought the swing to a stop.
The excitement had flushed Qin Zhenzhenâs pretty face.
Su Bin, moved by the moment, couldnât resist hugging her and lowering his head for a kiss.
Qin Zhenzhen reciprocated but gently pushed him away.
âHusband, why donât you give it a try as well?â
Having had her turn, Qin Zhenzhen pulled Su Bin over and had him take a seat. She planned for him to get accustomed to it before they both sat on it together.
Su Bin agreed, saying, âAlright!â
Their perspectives on the matter, however, were quite different.
He wanted to experience the excitement for himself, wondering how she could not be afraid of such a thrilling activity.
Even if she claimed to have experienced it in a dream, it was still just a dream. Doing it so naturally from the start without personal experience seemed implausible, right?
Su Bin settled onto the swing, gripping the thick ropes on both sides.
âWife, donât swing it too high at the beginning. I wouldnât make for a complete husband if I fell from the sky.â
Qin Zhenzhen couldnât help but laugh at Su Binâs nervousness.
âDonât worry, I wonât send you sky-high right away. Iâll take it step by step!â
Silently in his heart, Su Bin mused, âYou understand the concept of taking it step by step? Then why did you let me push it higher and higher from the start until I couldnât go any higher?â
