Lin Yuan was sitting on a small stool in the yard. When she saw the two of them come out, she stood up.

Wen Yan waved her hand shyly at Zhao Huanhuan, "You talk to Brother Lin Yuan, I'll go cook with Aunt Chu."

Zhao Huanhuan gave a soft "hmm" and walked towards Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan led her into his house, and Zhao Huanhuan looked at him with a puzzled expression before following.

After entering, Lin Yuan closed the door behind her, but didn't turn on the light. She then hugged Zhao Huanhuan in her arms.

"I'm sorry, I failed to protect you!" Lin Yuan said with heartache.

Hearing the self-reproach in his voice, Zhao Huanhuan smiled helplessly, hugged his waist back, and gently comforted him, "I'm fine now. I didn't suffer any loss. If anyone offends me, I will fight back. I won't just obediently wait for them to beat me up. Do I look like someone who would suffer a loss?"

Lin Yuan listened to her words and smiled helplessly. He let go of her. He was still at home, and he couldn't even imagine what she would have to go through if he weren't there.

"Alright, it's really nothing. You all apologize to me, and I have to comfort you instead, right? I just calmed Yan Yan down, and now you're here again!" Zhao Huanhuan said helplessly.

"I don't need you to coax me. I just want you to be happy and not feel wronged." Lin Yuan raised her hand and touched the top of her head, looking at her with gentle eyes.

It was sunset, and the room was dark inside, with the lights off. When the two people looked at each other, they seemed to see each other clearly, yet they also seemed to see everything.

The key point is that they both saw that bright little glimmer in each other's eyes.

Lin Yuan slowly lowered his head, gently kissed her lips, and whispered, "We'll be getting married in nine days."
