Chapter 64 Let’s make a pinky promise that we will never leave each other again in this life…

After playing tricks, Jiang Ziyou ran away.

As she was singing, a pile of strawberry cream snow suddenly appeared in front of her.

"We left in a hurry this morning, so you should eat something to fill your stomach first." Gu Zhi held up the crepes that had just come out of the pan considerately.

"You make me look like a bad guy." Jiang Ziyi touched his nose embarrassedly.

"What's wrong with that?" Gu Zhi blinked in confusion. "I can get a couple of kisses just by making an extra pancake. It's a good deal."

"Will there be such activities in the future?" he asked quite positively.

"......How much money did you earn in total?" Jiang Ziyi sat down and scooped the ice cream with a small spoon.

"Including the cost of renting a car and purchasing raw materials, I owe about four hundred." Gu Zhi sat beside her with his legs bent.

"You're even worse off than me!" Jiang Ziyi's cat eyes widened. "I shouldn't have caused you any more trouble."

"It doesn't matter," Gu Zhi looked up at the sky in a good mood, "It's not bad to lose to you anyway."

"I'm quite curious about what you will do to me." He raised the corners of his mouth in pleasure.

Jiang Ziyi was so focused on winning that he didn't really consider how to use those function cards.

Her face began to feel hot belatedly.

[Gu Zhi’s desire to win is zero because he cannot team up with his wife]

[The ultimate passive is also active]

[What on earth is Ziyi baby thinking about that makes him so embarrassed! ]

[After winning, how to order Gu Zhi so that he won’t be too happy (answer)]

[That’s difficult]

[Director Yu next door hired a passerby with a very loud voice to whine in front of Du Xiaofang's juice stand that he had diarrhea after drinking...]

[When Mantingfang was still engaged in a naive business war, a certain fox had already mastered the true gameplay of this game]

The pink sunset covered the sky, and the six guests returned to the gathering place to settle the matter.

Luo Pan topped the wealth list with a net profit of 1,436.5 yuan. She opened a handcraft workshop using twist sticks, wool, beads and other parts, and taught couples on the beach how to DIY some simple accessories, which are low-cost and popular.

Next came Yu Huating, who roamed around various scenic spots and provided high-quality photography services.

Du Xiaofang should have been ranked third, but she hired a van of people to wait for her husband's camera, and the extra expenses were too high, so she was ranked second from the bottom.

The last one is Wang Zihe, who uses the "Book of Answers" to tell people's fortunes, but his fortunes are not accurate even if they are about death.

Couples in other groups are competing to make money, and are even willing to resort to despicable means such as fabricating food safety issues and plundering production tools... Only couples in Holding Hands are giving each other money.

When Gu Zhi went to Jiang Ziyi to request songs, she treated the audience to crepes.

Winning without doing anything is too boring, and Jiang Ziyi still hasn't figured out what to do with him.

Even without using a commanding tone, Gu Zhi would listen to her; Gu Zhi would never force her to do anything she didn't want to do.

While Jiang Ziyi was distracted, Luo Pan was the first to pick up the "command card". Yu Huating showed off the "veto card" in front of the camera for a long time, and the host directly handed the remaining "regret card" to her.

"I didn't expect you to be good at making money." Wang Zihe said sarcastically.

Luo Pan slammed the cards on the table and said, "Don't talk to me from now on."

She looked like she had been meaning to do this for a long time.

After fierce internal competition, the total amount of funds raised by the guests was astonishingly high, and "rich travel" was not a problem.

"How about having seafood tonight?" Du Xiaofang knew a good restaurant.

"I object!" Yu Huating used the "veto card".

"......Then what do you plan to eat?" Du Xiaofang asked while biting her back teeth.

"How about seafood?" Yu Huating said rudely, "I just want to reject your suggestion."

Jiang Ziyi put the card into his pocket and followed the crowd quietly.

Gu Zhi kept pace with her.

"I don't think I have anything to regret." Jiang Ziyi looked confused.

Usually, this statement can be understood as a compliment to your partner.

But Gu Zhi frowned, because if it was anything else, Jiang Ziyi would still give the same answer.

No regrets means no expectations.

"Then let's find out your regret first." Gu Zhi brushed away the loose hair in front of her forehead.

The string of lights on the pier gradually lit up, and a brilliant galaxy was reflected in his eyes.

Jiang Ziyi immersed himself in it and nodded vigorously.

Halfway through dinner, Xu Yanhui appeared again.

"It's time to fill out the divorce intention questionnaire again." She handed out papers and pens clockwise.

"After recording this episode, everyone has made a clear decision," Xu Yanhui looked around at everyone, "Our next task is to complete this journey of the last option without any regrets."

"Please exchange your results and then go for a walk on the beach together."

Gu Zhi held his breath and slowly moved his fingers away:

Jiang Ziyi ticked the option of "no divorce".

The corners of his mouth turned up even more sharply than that.

[Ah ... ]

[We ran in both directions, and I cried to death]

[Finally waited until this day]

[It’s worth holding your hand! ]

[End of the Spread (?)]

[After that, it was just a pure show of affection!] ]

[Look how happy Gu Zhi is, he almost tripped over his legs while walking]

[Why are you running hand in hand? You little lovers...]

[Fast forward to a grand wedding]

[Can I be invited? ]

[Add me, I’ll just sit at the kids’ table! ]

[I sit at Robert's table]

[We must not separate again this time, woooooooooo]

The evening breeze blew up Gu Zhi's white shirt, and his shadow looked like it had grown a pair of wings.

Jiang Ziyi's heart beat faster and faster, almost jumping out of his throat.

Gu Zhi stopped panting and hugged Jiang Ziyi tightly, as she almost fell into his arms due to inertia.

"Don't you already know that I would choose this?" Jiang Ziyi rubbed his neck.

"But there's no time to celebrate." Gu Zhi said in a muffled voice.

This was not a celebratory reaction at all, but Jiang Ziyi did not expose it.

Gu Zhi has always been very clear that in this relationship, he needs Jiang Ziyi much more than she needs him.

For the past three months, he pretended to be calm, used both soft and hard tactics, and even deceived himself... because he could not live in a world without Jiang Ziyi.

"This is a live broadcast, you can't go back on your word." Gu Zhi threatened in a cowardly manner.

He needed her to personally check the box "No divorce", he needed the witness of the whole world, and all kinds of useful or useless evidence.

Isn't this... too disturbing?

Jiang Ziyi pushed Gu Zhi's shoulders away a little. He secretly curled his palms and resisted the urge to hug him again.

Waves rolled toward them, flooding the fine-sand shallows.

The first firework bloomed in the dark night sky, illuminating Jiang Ziyi's raised little finger.

"Let's make a pinky promise." She said eagerly in the gap between the sound of the tide and the explosion.

Fireworks with brilliant tails of light streaked across the sky, like an inverted meteor shower.

The swearing with a hooked finger was childish and serious, and it hit Gu Zhi's heart.

————————————————————

The first season of "Neighbors" ends with a happy dumpling-making scene.

Jiang Ziyi's hair was decorated with snow-white pompoms and her little face was rosy, making her look like an exquisite New Year picture doll.

The temperature in the studio was very low, and Gu Zhi took the opportunity to put her cold hands into his pockets. The director filmed this scene and found it quite interesting.

It's like a naughty sister trying to snatch her brother's New Year's money.

The actors were gathering together to divide the wrap cake. Jiang Ziyi watched from afar. The last bit of toffee melted on her tongue, and her stomach felt even emptier.

Gu Zhi opened the door of the lounge a crack and waved to Jiang Ziyi mysteriously.

He actually grabbed the corner of the cake with the most fruits. The ingredients were so solid that even the edge of the paper plate was bent down.

"Try it quickly." Gu Zhi's eyes were brighter than birthday candles.

It seemed as if all her wishes would come true as long as she looked him in the eye.

Jiang licked the butter off his fork with relish and breathed a sigh of satisfaction.

"Please eat a few more bites. I helped the cake delivery aunt push the cart all the way before she agreed to give me the biggest piece." Gu Zhi stared at her without blinking.

"You'll get fat if you eat too much." Xiao Jiang said seriously.

"Oh my God, you're so thin that you could be blown away by the wind!" Gu Zhi couldn't help but raise his voice.

Jiang Ziyi subconsciously looked towards the door.

"Your mother is chatting with her agent, she won't find out." Gu Zhi guessed her concerns.

Jiang Ziyi hesitated and picked up the fork again.

"I heard from the director uncle that if the ratings are high, there will be a second season of this drama." Gu Zhi scraped the cream off the tip of her nose.

"Yeah." Jiang Ziyi responded vaguely.

"There will definitely be a second season," Gu Zhi said confidently, "You have such great acting skills and you are such a cute person, it would be a shame if it doesn't become popular."

He assumed that Jiang Ziyi was the leading female character in this ensemble drama. She had corrected him many times, but to no avail.

"Even if there's no second season," Gu Zhi clutched the corner of his clothes nervously, "we will meet again, right?"

"It should be possible." Although the possibility was very small, Jiang Ziyi did not deny it.

"Then before we meet next time, can you please not forget me?" Gu Zhi asked cautiously.

He had a nightmare a few days ago. Jiang Ziyi hugged someone else's arm and called him brother. Gu Zhi chased her all the way and finally caught her hand.

Jiang Ziyi bit the lollipop into pieces with a "crunch" sound, turned around and asked, "Who are you?"

…

"Okay, I'll try my best to remember you." Jiang Ziyi in real life agreed readily.

"Let's make a pinky promise." Gu Zhi raised the little finger of his right hand.

"What are you pulling?" Jiang Ziyi looked puzzled.

"Just hook your little fingers together and make a promise." Gu Zhi explained.

"Anyone who breaks his promise must swallow... a needle." He wanted to emphasize the consequences, but did not dare to set the punishment too severe.

If Jiang Ziyi's memory is really not good enough, then, even if we take a step back, doesn't Gu Zhi have any responsibility for not leaving a deep impression on her?

Even a needle hurts. Jiang Ziyi touched his not-so-flat stomach and thought seriously for a while.

"Pink pinky promise." Due to nervousness, her little finger was stretched straight and was completely circled by Gu Zhi.

"Hook."

————————————————————

Zhang Jiale was going to another province to study at university. Zhang Jiayou stopped him at the door of his room and didn't let him pack his luggage in advance.

"Are you in such a hurry to leave?" She raised her chin stubbornly, trying not to let the tears roll down her eyes.

Gu Zhi was slow to respond to the lines.

Jiang Ziyi’s crying scenes have always been very steady, but her sadness today was more realistic than ever.

It seemed like I was really so sad about his leaving.

The director called for a pause helplessly: "Gu Zhi, what's wrong with you today? This is your last scene, try to find your form again!"

It was almost noon when the shooting finally ended.

"Congratulations on finishing the film." Jiang Ziyi wiped away the tears on her face, and her nose was still a little red.

After turning off her emotional switch, she quickly returned to normal.

Gu Zhi dropped his wrist in disappointment, and the tissue in his palm was crumpled into a ball.

"I'll come to the set to see you more often," he promised.

"Aren't you busy preparing for the exam?" Jiang Ziyi unscrewed the bottle cap. She felt that all the water in her body was almost gone due to crying.

"Then I'll try for it." Gu Zhi changed his words, at least once a week.

"Pin it down." He took the initiative to swear to her.

"Are you childish?" Jiang Ziyi bent Gu Zhi's little finger back, and he resisted her force as if to compete with her.

Jiang Ziyi had no choice but to pat his shoulder and said, "No matter how long it takes until we meet again, I will never forget you."

"Pin promise." Gu Zhi was much greedier than when he was fourteen.

"Anyone who breaks his promise will have to swallow a thousand needles," he said to himself firmly.

"That's too painful," Jiang Ziyi's eyes flickered, "...People who break their promises are annoying."

————————————————————

Gu Zhi stared straight at the wedding ring on Jiang Ziyi's ring finger.

"Are you sure?" he asked dreamily.

"I'm sure." Jiang Ziyi waved his hand in front of him.

A silver halo flashed by, and Gu Zhi felt even more dizzy.

"Will you marry me?"

"Um."

"Can we get married now?"

"yes."

"I will be the happiest man in the world?"

"........ whatever you think is right."

"Will we walk together in the future?"

"If you don't divorce me."

"I'm lucky enough to spend the rest of my life with you?"

"How many times are you going to ask me this over and over again?" Jiang Ziyi threw the ring box into his arms.

"Are you sure?" Gu Zhi returned to the first question.

"Let's go to the Civil Affairs Bureau now without further ado." He took out his car keys after getting an answer that was both affirmative and impatient.

"It's so late at night, please be awake!" Jiang Ziyi pointed at the clock whose hour hand had already passed the number 11.

Gu Zhi's fingertips gently brushed across her face, as if to confirm whether this was an illusion.

"I didn't expect it to go so smoothly," he muttered.

Every time their relationship progresses, they have to go through a lot of hardships.

Normally, Jiang Ziyi would scare himself and then run away, and it would take Gu Zhiguang about two weeks to catch him.

He didn't propose yet because he was afraid that as soon as he knelt on one knee and looked up, the person would be gone.

Gu Zhi took out the rings from this year and last year. If he put on three rings in a row, it wouldn't be so easy to take them off, right?

The look on his face, fearing that she would go back on her word, made Jiang Ziyi both amused and soft-hearted.

"Come on, make a pinky promise." For Gu Zhi, this small ceremony is more effective than the Civil Affairs Bureau.

The two people's little fingers were clasped together tightly, like an unbreakable chain.

————————————————————

The fireworks in the sky are still blooming, and tiny particles of light are leaping into the sea.

"You swear that you will never leave me again in this life." Gu Zhi quickly wrapped his fingers around hers.

"Leaving in the physical sense, or..." Jiang Ziyi pondered this extraordinary oath.

"I will never leave you again in my life." She shook their fingers.

The last bunch of fireworks dissipated in the dark night sky, and Gu Zhi's kiss was pious and passionate.

There was a momentary glow of starlight on Jiang Ziyi's retina. She tightened her arms slightly, as if to comfort or encourage.

Gu Zhi obviously understood the second meaning, and Jiang Ziyi's tongue tip became numb from being sucked.

"@#%&*!" she tried to make a sound.

Translated it means "that's enough".

Gu Zhi licked the corner of his mouth with an unsatisfied look.

[Sweet and dizzy]

[Unconscious]

[A nice fireworks display, full of fatalism]

[It beats all idol dramas...]

[Gu Zhi, you are so good at kissing, tsk tsk]

[Too shy to raise my head]

[My aunt's smile is reflected on the screen]

Jiang Ziyi and Gu Zhi walked side by side, their little fingers still hooked together, even more intimate than if they were holding hands.
