"So what exactly happened in the grove that day?" Xiao Feiran asked while doing a plank.
Why is she still so conflicted after all these years? Cheng Zhi cleared her throat. "You really want to know? Then I'll mercifully tell you."
After the house was built, the young women prepared to move in.
Everyone knew each other so well that Cheng Zhi knew what Xiao Feiran was up to the moment she ran away; her intentions were crystal clear.
Cheng Zhi wasn't angry about this, especially when she met Qi Yanche's gaze. Suddenly, she felt a surge of impulse and thought it best to take the opportunity to lay things out on the table.
She has a quick temper; one second she was thinking this, and the next second the words came out of her mouth: "I'm a straightforward person and I don't like beating around the bush. If I've offended you in any way, you can just say so. This kind of evasive behavior bothers me."
To be honest, she wasn't sure if she could just say something like that. What if Qi Yanche really disliked her? Wouldn't that make things awkward for everyone?
But words spoken are like water spilled; they cannot be taken back. Cheng Zhi looked at the person opposite her who was avoiding her gaze, and her heart sank.
After a long silence from the person on the other end, Cheng Zhi felt utterly disheartened. She sighed and said, "Fine, I understand."
Just as Cheng Zhi turned to leave, Qi Yanche suddenly grabbed her arm, and the next second his face was pressed against hers. The distance was so close that she could even see the fine hairs on Qi Yanche's face.
The whole process was very fast. Qi Yanche had already retreated before Cheng Zhi reacted. She covered her forehead, completely dumbfounded.
Did Qi Yanche just kiss my forehead?!
Qi Yanche's face was as red as his bold behavior just now. "I...I like you. I know it's not appropriate to say this in this situation, but who knows what tomorrow will bring? I want to express my love to you at least once!"
Seeing Qi Yanche like this, Cheng Zhi laughed and breathed a sigh of relief. So he didn't dislike her after all.
Qi Yanche was unaware of Cheng Zhi's inner thoughts and thought she was mocking him. His eyes immediately lost their light. "Are you laughing at me...?"
Just like a puppy's tail drooping, Cheng Zhi immediately caught Qi Yanche's emotions.
They couldn't keep misunderstanding each other like this. Cheng Zhi stepped forward, cupped Qi Yanche's face in her hands, and kissed his lips.
After the kiss, Cheng Zhi smiled and said, "Shouldn't love be expressed like this?"
This really burned out Qi Yanche's CPU.
"I...you...this..."
The child was so frightened that he couldn't speak.
For some reason, Cheng Zhi liked his stunned expression, but it couldn't stay like this forever. She touched Qi Yanche's cheek and said, "Snap out of it. They're still waiting for us up ahead."
After saying that, she turned to leave, but Qi Yanche quickly called out to Cheng Zhi, "Isn't this the end?"
Cheng Zhi stopped again, looking at Qi Yanche with some confusion, "Otherwise, what else can I do?"
Her eyes darted around, as if she suddenly understood, and she frowned, saying, "Even though we've set foot on foreign soil, we can't be this open-minded, can we?"
Qi Yanche: "..."
What are you thinking?!
He shook his head frantically, "What are you thinking!"
Qi Yanche rubbed his face. "I just confessed to you, and we were just... right? Is that all? Shouldn't there be a follow-up?"
"Doesn't our relationship need to be redefined?" Qi Yanche asked in a softer voice.
So that's what it is. Cheng Zhi stood there, realizing she had indeed acted rashly. After a moment's thought, she said, "Qi Yanche, do you really think now is the right time?"
Having died once, Cheng Zhi felt that everything else was trivial except for life and death. However, she hadn't completely abandoned everything else. Looking into Qi Yanche's eyes, she said, "I'm not trying to reject you. You might not believe it, but I truly cherish your feelings for me, so I want to put them into the right moment. I..."
As Cheng Zhi spoke, her eyes revealed more and more emotions, which Qi Yanche couldn't understand but felt heartbroken for.
This sounds exactly like something a scumbag would say in a movie, but Qi Yanche completely believed Cheng Zhi and interrupted her directly, "I can wait!"
He walked up and gently hugged Cheng Zhi. "The world will return to normal, and family and friends will reunite. I can wait until then and let the world bless us."
Hearing Qi Yanche say this, Cheng Zhi finally felt relieved and nodded, "Yes, that day will come."
"You're a real dog!"
After so many years, Xiao Feiran finally heard about what happened back then, and he was about to explode. He straddled Cheng Zhi and cursed, "You could keep quiet about something like this for so many years? Are you a reincarnated ninja?!"
The two started fighting, and no one paid any attention except for Xiao Shanzhu. The poor little one was jumping around, but since both of them were her godmothers, she didn't know who to help.
Little Shanzhu ran up to Qi Yanche, "Godfather, Godfather, save Godmother!"
Qi Yanche, who was being stared at with death stares by his brothers: "..."
I can barely take care of my own child!
Chen Yiyi placed one hand on Qi Yanche's shoulder and patted the child's head with the other. "Child, go find your grandma and grandpa. Your godfather has his own troubles... no, his own problems to solve."
Xiao Shanzhu didn't understand, but he was obedient. He walked back obediently, and halfway there he ran into the kitchen to ask Cheng Ye for help, "Please save Xiao Xiao and Godmother Zhi Zhi!"
Cheng Ye had already heard the commotion from the two of them fighting.
He wiped his hands, gave up, picked up Xiaoshanzhu and went upstairs. "One is my wife, the other is my sister, I'm having a hard time too."
As he spoke, he glanced back at the two people running around the yard, with Xiao Shanzhu following along. But he quickly looked away and instead began to look at Cheng Ye seriously.
Too young to understand the smile on Cheng Ye's face, he asked, "Godfather, why are you so happy?"
Cheng Ye gently pinched Xiao Shanzhu's nose. "You'll understand when you grow up."
As they continued walking uphill, Xiao Shanzhu kept asking, "Are you sure you don't need any help?"
"Don't worry, they'll be fine." Cheng Ye said, but then suddenly remembered the memory of being caught in the middle as a human shield and getting hurt by mistake. She clutched her chest and said, "If I go to help, I might be the one who gets hurt."
Little Bamboo was even more confused, "Why?"
"These are all blood and tears," Cheng Ye said, his face full of vicissitudes. "You'll understand when you grow up. But it's good that you don't have a sister, so you probably won't have such a painful experience."
