In her previous life, Qian Jin watched helplessly as the boy next door and her childhood friend fell out and became enemies. Even her senior sister rushed into marriage and gave up her research. Before Qian Jin could figure out what was going on, an explosion sent her back to the moment when the classified research project had just ended.
At this point, the Ying family had only been sent down to the countryside three months earlier, and they were all still safe and sound.
She hurried to the countryside, but the Ying family didn’t want to drag her into their troubles and urged her to leave.
Qian Jin said, “Before I came, I submitted a marriage application. It’s with Ying Suyan.”
Using her status as a nationally important researcher, she forced her way into the situation. With Xu Xingjian’s help, it took only a few days for the Ying family to be cleared of all charges and return to the capital.
After they married, Qian Jin worked hard to adjust to their relationship changing from friends to husband and wife.
Meanwhile, Ying Suyan kept pushing his luck day by day, going from keeping a clear distance while they lay in bed to holding hands, embracing, kissing, and then...
Thanks to Qian Jin’s intervention ahead of time, Xu Xingjian and Ying Suyan managed to stay out of each other’s way, and the Ying family had no intention of seeking revenge.
Even her senior sister refused to give in to an arranged marriage, marry an officer, serve her in-laws, and abandon her research.
Then, one day, Xu Xingjian was badly injured and admitted to the hospital.
Qian Jin nearly cried herself blind as she made him chicken soup and brought it over, just as she always did.
Xu Xingjian said, “The soup is so rich and delicious.”
Qian Jin froze. “...How does it compare to before?”
Xu Xingjian said, “It tastes just as good.”
With tears in her eyes, Qian Jin took a sip. It tasted normal.
But the chicken soup she made had always been sweet. This wasn’t her cooking, so how could it taste the same?
