Ji Pianran was lying in Gu Chen's arms, and the tears that had just stopped flowed out again.
It turned out that he understood his own suffering.
He could sympathise with how difficult it was for him.
He said that there was still a long way to go, and that they would take it slowly together!
He said that he wanted to give this family hope!
She had waited so long for these words, so long that she no longer knew what she was waiting for.
But just now, Gu Chen had spoken every word with all his heart.
She suddenly realised that the flame in her heart was still burning.
The tears in her eyes were like a dam that had broken, rushing forward with great momentum.
It was as if they wanted to take away the grievances and dissatisfaction of the past few years.
Gu Chen let her cry.
He knew that she had been holding it in for too long.
Crying out might make her feel better.
He just patted Ji Bianran's back gently, as if comforting a lost child.
After a while, her crying gradually subsided and her mood calmed down.
She had made up her mind!
Just as Gu Chen had said, give them hope!
Give this family hope!
She tilted her head up, her beautiful almond-shaped eyes still with moisture, moist and wet.
She looked at Gu Chen seriously and said, 'The future is long, and we can take our time to walk the road ahead.'
Her voice was thick with a nasal twang from crying.
Gu Chen's pupils trembled.
Ji Pianran, did she just agree to marry him?
If she said that, does it mean she won't leave?
He remembered the despair of looking for her in the previous life.
It felt like a huge stone had fallen from his heart.
He was so excited.
Even her calm, deep eyes could not help but sparkle slightly at the moment.
Gu Chen could not help but hold Ji Pianran tightly in his arms, as if he wanted to rub her into his bones and blood.
'Thank you, thank you, thank you,'
his voice trembled, and he even sounded a little incoherent.
Ji Pianran was about to say something, but the next second she was stunned by Gu Chen's actions.
He reached out and pressed her head into his arms.
Their skin came into contact.
Their hearts beat in unison.
For a moment, both of them were lost in their own thoughts.
Ji Pianran was small and weak, with a faint, ethereal fragrance.
It was like the smell of jasmine, so pleasant.
Following the curve of her neck, her hair flowed upwards, filling Gu Chen's nostrils.
Holding her in his arms, he breathed in the unique fragrance of her body.
It was as if, in an instant, a part of his heart was filled.
That feeling of fullness was really amazing.
It made Gu Chen, who had lived two lives, momentarily lost in thought.
Gu Chen's embrace was warm and passionate.
Ji Pianran was suddenly overwhelmed by his embrace.
Her mind went blank.
Her heart stopped for a moment, and then the next second it started pumping again with fresh blood.
That pounding was almost unbearable.
She realised a serious problem.
Did she just seem to have been in Gu Chen's arms just now?
Why?
She had just lost control of her emotions and had no recollection of being in Gu Chen's arms the whole time.
And now, she couldn't even think of it.
Did she really move her hands first?
Ji Pianran tilted her head slightly, and from this angle, she could only see his smooth jawline and slightly raised Adam's apple.
She just stared at the man in a daze.
If she remembered correctly, this was the first time he had held her like this.
He...does like me, right?
Tang Tang had just eaten two dumplings and had been playing by herself for a long time, and now her little tummy was growling.
She put down the little wooden man in her hands and was going to ask her mother when dinner was ready.
But when she looked up, she discovered a shocking secret!
Her parents were actually hugging each other!
But they weren't hugging her!
The little girl tilted her head, her two little cheeks puffed up, and she said in a baby voice towards the two of them, 'Tantan also wants a hug!'
Hearing her daughter's voice, Ji Bianran flushed red.
It's over!!!
Her daughter saw!!!
Gu Chen coughed twice lightly to hide her inner panic, hurriedly crouched down, and reached out to hug Tantan.
The little girl shook her head.
'No, Tangtang wants both mommy and daddy to hug her!'
She likes both her father and mother.
She wants both of them to hug her together.
Ji Pianran's pupils dilated.
Damn, I can't hug her anymore!!!
She swallowed, picked up the dumplings in a flustered manner, and her voice still carried a hint of nervousness.
'Tangtang, be a good girl, the dumplings are ready to eat, if you don't eat them, they'll get cold.'
Hearing the words 'dumplings', the little girl instantly became well-behaved.
She had completely forgotten about being hugged.
After all, her parents had never hugged her together, so she didn't know what it felt like.
But she had just eaten the dumplings, and they were really delicious!
She wanted to eat more!
"Eat dumplings, Tangtang likes to eat dumplings!'
The little girl said, while looking at the bowl in Ji Pianran's hands.
Oh, she wanted to eat!
Ji Pianran secretly let out a sigh of relief as she watched her daughter turn into a foodie in the blink of an eye.
At last, she didn't have to hold her daughter again.
Otherwise, it would have been really embarrassing.
After eating the dumplings, Gu Chen washed the dishes as usual, while Ji Bianran boiled a large pot of hot water to give Tang Tang a bath.
The day after tomorrow was the Chinese New Year, and she not only had to bathe Tang Tang, but also herself.
Children are happy to see water and play without thinking.
Ji Bianran, on the other hand, sat on a small wooden stool and stared blankly.
It's almost New Year's Eve, and as the old saying goes, you must wash yourself clean during the New Year to get rid of the bad luck from the past year.
She's washed herself and Tangtang, but what about Gu Chen?
Should she remind him?
But how should she put it?
'Gu Chen, do you want to take a bath?'
No, no, that sounds way too intimate!
Ji Pianran rested her chin in her hands, her delicate little face looking a little embarrassed.
Gu Chen, on the other hand, was unusually free. He had gone to bed early, and needless to say, the new bedding was really thick and comfortable.
It was very different from the old dry bed.
It was so soft.
He had just rolled over comfortably when he heard a mechanical voice.
'Congratulations, host, you have successfully saved your family. Reward: one pack of seeds.'
Gu Chen; '?????'
There's something wrong with this system!
It's been how many days now, and I thought it was broken, but suddenly it's back.
If only it was back. Everyone else gets rewards like luxury cars, villas, yachts, or at the very least, a million in cash!
And what does it give me? A packet of seeds!
Seeds!!!
Is it trying to get me addicted to selling vegetables?
"System, don't go too far, and don't bully a newbie!'
You're a newbie yourself, but you're not a newbie to being bullied. You can't just push a newbie around.
So now the system has two faces?
What about the next dish?
System: '...'
'The scientific name for this seed is Cordyceps sinensis. It can be planted directly outside the space and will grow at the same rate as inside the space. If the host doesn't like it, then this reward can be voided.'
The system's emotionless voice comes to mind.
