Switched Marriage The Coddled Little Wife novel Chapter 697

Chapter 697: Chapter 697: Something Fishy

The summer sunlight was burning hot, and Lin Chuxia hid under the dense shade of the trees, watching the comings and goings on the street.

From afar came the jingle of a bicycle bell, which finally stopped with a creak beside Lin Chuxia.

The man wore deep blue jeans and a flamboyant shirt, giving off a rogue aura, but his face bore a clean smile.

"Lin Chuxia, what are you doing here? Looking like a bullied little wife, did that Li guy bully you again, or was it that old lady? I always said your temperament is no good, like dough, isn’t it embarrassing?"

Lin Chuxia slightly raised her head. The sunlight was glaringly bright, she wanted to see the man’s face clearly, but the intense light was unavoidable, so she could only see a vague face in the halo.

"Gu Peng?"

She tried to speak.

The man grabbed her hand and pulled her up, "Why are you calling me? Here, take this. Next time something happens, call me. Don’t hide away to sulk alone, at worst just fight back, I’ll help you."

Lin Chuxia’s gaze fell on the pager in her hand, and she chuckled softly, "Help me with what? How many times have I told you, don’t always think about fighting, haven’t you had enough of the suffering in the Northwest?"

Gu Peng fiddled with the pager in his hand, without even lifting his head, "What’s that bit of hardship? It’s not like I haven’t experienced it, if not for sticking with you, the tough days would be longer. Let’s just say I’ve lived the good life enough for these few years, now reminiscing about the past hardships."

"Nonsense," Lin Chuxia glared at him, but his interruption indeed brightened her mood a bit.

Fumbling with the pager in her hand, "Is it new?"

"Yeah, just bought it. One for you, one for me, I’ll give you the number later, but just so you know, I bought these for work, so you’ll have to reimburse me later."

Lin Chuxia couldn’t help but roll her eyes again.

Suddenly her vision blurred, where was the shaded path? Lin Chuxia stood on a bustling street with high rises, surrounded by traffic.

She surveyed her surroundings quickly and locked onto a person.

It was Gu Peng.

He was walking forward while glancing at his smartphone, as if something awaited him ahead.

As he crossed the traffic lights, a piercing horn sounded, and a speeding truck was heading straight towards him.

Gu Peng turned and ran, yet the truck seemed to have eyes, veering in an arc to run him down.

Gu Peng was hit, flung into the air, and then brutally slammed down.

It all happened in an instant, Lin Chuxia stared wide-eyed.

Everything felt so familiar, yet the protagonist in the scene was another person.

Lin Chuxia just felt as if a giant hand was tightly gripping her chest, making it hard to breathe...

"Xiaxia, Xiaxia..."

A hurried yet gentle low call sounded by her ear, and Lin Chuxia suddenly opened her eyes.

Dim, gentle lamp light filled the familiar room, and upon looking up, she met Qin Yang’s worried eyes.

"Xiaxia, had a nightmare?"

As he turned the lamp brighter, he wrapped her in his arms.

Lin Chuxia was still panting heavily, looked at the man, paused, and finally nodded.

The dream from earlier lingered in her mind.

It wasn’t a nightmare, but something that had really happened in her past life.

It’s just that the protagonist wasn’t Gu Peng, it was herself.

It was an afternoon, on her way to work, the vehicle broke down midway, but since the company was not far away, she decided to walk there.

Unexpectedly, as she crossed the traffic light, a runaway truck crashed into her.

The scenes in the dream were exactly the same as what happened that day, only in the dream, the protagonist became Gu Peng.

She, she hadn’t dreamed about her past life in a long time.

Even that person, she hadn’t thought about for a long time.
