Rebirth in the 80s: The Scholar Wife is Cute

This was Ruan Feng’s first time coming back after the divorce. To tell the truth, Ruan Lingyu was a bit happy inside, but she put on a very unwelcoming face.

"I came back to see how you were doing," Ruan Feng explained casually, and then asked, "Do you have a fever?"

While he spoke, he had already walked up to Ruan Lingyu and touched her forehead, which indeed felt hot. "There’s fever-reducing medicine downstairs, I’ll go get it."

He went downstairs, and Ruan Lingyu followed suit, saying, "We’re already divorced, you can talk without touching and grabbing."

Ruan Feng: "..."

He found it a bit amusing. They had been married for so many years, both now over fifty, and he was merely checking to see if Ruan Lingyu had a fever. How did this turn into inappropriate touching?

"Even though we’re divorced, we were married for decades. If you’re sick, can’t I even touch your forehead? You’re still so stubborn."

Hearing Ruan Feng’s helpless yet concerned words, Ruan Lingyu retorted stubbornly, "Once divorced, we should act like it. Otherwise, what’s the point of divorcing?"

"Fine, you’re always right, I won’t argue with you." Ruan Feng went back to the room to get the fever-reducing medicine for Ruan Lingyu, and instructed, "Take the medicine and get some sleep, sweating it out will help."

Perhaps the mentality of a sick person becomes fragile, Ruan Lingyu was hoping for company right then, but she was reluctant to admit it, instead asking, "It’s so late, are you going back afterwards?"

Ruan Feng deliberately said, "We’re divorced now, it wouldn’t be appropriate for me to stay over."
