Xiao Changhen took a deep breath and calmed himself down. Before he could say anything, Jia Mianmian's soft voice came again.
"Husband."
His heartbeat was no longer irregular, but it was much faster and noisier. Xiao Changhen frowned, thinking that he might be sick. After leaving the Jia Mansion, he would go see a doctor.
"I...we haven't..." gotten married yet, so you can't call me husband yet.
Seeing Jia Mianmian's puzzled look, Xiao Changhen finally gave up preaching. He reached out and took out the sycamore flower that had just fallen on Jia Mianmian's head, and nodded at her: "Yes."
His future wife is a little fool, so he should be more tolerant.
Xiao Changhen looked at Jia Mianmian and couldn't utter the word "wife". Fortunately, Yan Baibai spoke again.
"You can call me Mianmian from now on. I only allow my mother to call me that. Now you can call me that too."
"Okay...Mianmian."
"Well, husband, what's the matter?" Jia Mianmian's smile was still bright.
Xiao Changhen looked at Jia Mianmian, whose eyes suddenly brightened unexpectedly, and inexplicably felt uncomfortable. This kind of emotion had not appeared in his heart for a long time. In his memory, this was ten years ago.
That winter, just as he was about to starve to death in a dark alley, a stray dog appeared in his sight, a roasted chicken in its mouth... At that moment, he didn't know how he had managed to unleash such immense strength. He smashed the stray dog to death with an icy stone. As he finished eating the roasted chicken and was about to leave, he saw a litter of crying puppies in the weeds in the alley...
Now when he thinks back on this incident, he feels no emotion. But every winter, whenever he sees stray dogs looking for food, he throws some food to them.
He knew very well that those stray dogs were not the same ones as before, and he was not the same person as before.
He didn't like this feeling, and he tried his best to avoid having this feeling in his heart.
"Mianmian likes it here?" Xiao Changhen wanted to divert his attention.
"I don't like this place. I only like this sycamore tree here." Jia Mianmian turned back to look at the sycamore tree and asked, "After I marry you, can you move it for me?"
"If you move it, it might die." Xiao Changhen didn't realize that he didn't refuse or agree directly, but began to think about the problem from Jia Mianmian's perspective.
"Although I feel sorry, I still let it continue to live here." Jia Mianmian sighed.
"Mianmian, do you... mind leaving here?"
Xiao Changhen asked, but he didn't know for a moment whether he was asking Yan Baibai to leave this yard or leave this land. It was clearly in his original plan that he didn't want to take Jia Mianmian with him.
"Well, if my husband wants me to leave." Jia Mianmian answered without thinking.
"Wow, host, you are awesome, I love you so much!" From the time the two met until now, the system watched the progress bar slowly rising, and the depression of the past few days was swept away.
As we all know, changing the map is a common technique for advancing the story. When the host personally agreed to leave, the progress bar increased significantly, and the system couldn't help but shout out.
Even though the system quickly realized its own recklessness and quickly shut its mouth, it was obvious that the host had heard its voice.
"Mianmian, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing Jia Mianmian's face suddenly turn pale, and she squatted down with her hands covering her ears, her body tense, as if she had encountered something terrible, Xiao Changhen's brows began to frown tightly.
"Mianmian, what are you afraid of?"
Xiao Changhen's voice softened, as if he was worried that his voice would scare Jia Mianmian. He still remembered that after waking up Jia Mianmian, she was frightened and cried because his eyes were a little fierce.
"Husband, can you exorcise ghosts?" Jia Mianmian looked up, tears in her eyes and looked at Xiao Changhen with anticipation.
"Of course, as long as I cast a spell for you, no ghost will dare to approach you anymore." Xiao Changhen said, taking out the necklace that he had always worn since childhood.
It wasn't really a necklace, just a thumb-sized white stone tied with a thin black string. That was why the necklace had grown up with him. And now, he was going to give it to Jia Mianmian. After all, it was his.
"What is this?" Jia Mianmian asked in confusion, holding the white stone in both hands.
"This is a fairy stone that fell from the sky. With this, no demons or monsters will dare to approach you." Xiao Changhen lied calmly.
Listening to Xiao Changhen's words, Jia Mianmian listened quietly for a while. As expected, she didn't hear any sound. A smile gradually appeared on her face, and then she suddenly threw herself into Xiao Changhen's arms.
Jia Mianmian's movements were fast and fierce, and Xiao Changhen was caught off guard and knocked to the ground, crushing the fallen white.
Or was it Mr. Jia who came back because he was worried about his daughter being with a strange man?
His worries seemed a bit unnecessary.
