Chapter 507: Swinging
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
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 Zhenzhen’s delighted laughter filled the air.
“Hahaha, this is so satisfying!”
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 wouldn’t be revealed.
Su Bin, far from discouraging her, aided in propelling the swing to greater heights.
Observing her with curiosity, he remarked, “It seems like you’re no stranger to swinging?”
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 Zhenzhen’s home before, he knew there was no such swing in the vicinity.
Upon entering Su Bin’s house, Qin Zhenzhen hadn’t noticed any signs of a swing in the backyard.
Yet, she seemed to be intimately familiar with it.
Casually, Qin Zhenzhen admitted, “That’s right! I used to love swinging the most! It was one of the few things you could enjoy without spending money.”
As the words slipped out, she realized she had revealed a part of her past. Nevertheless, she didn’t 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, “When was this? Did you enjoy it before or after marrying me? Were you still a child when you started?”
Qin Zhenzhen chuckled, “Would you believe me if I said I’ve swung countless times in my dreams?”
“In dreams, you don’t have to worry about spending money on anything, right?”
Naturally skeptical, Su Bin didn’t 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 Zhenzhen’s pretty face.
Su Bin, moved by the moment, couldn’t resist hugging her and lowering his head for a kiss.
Qin Zhenzhen reciprocated but gently pushed him away.
“Husband, why don’t you give it a try as well?”
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, “Alright!”
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.
“Wife, don’t swing it too high at the beginning. I wouldn’t make for a complete husband if I fell from the sky.”
Qin Zhenzhen couldn’t help but laugh at Su Bin’s nervousness.
“Don’t worry, I won’t send you sky-high right away. I’ll take it step by step!”
Silently in his heart, Su Bin mused, “You 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 couldn’t go any higher?”
