"It really can't be removed."
She looked at Gu Minhang in great surprise: "You knew all along?"
Gu Minhang nodded and reached out to ruffle her hair: "My grandfather told me this when I was old enough to understand."
"Then put it on me! It's very valuable..."
Gu Minhang reached out and pressed his hand to her lips, the upward curve of his mouth clearly no longer showing any smile.
“Niannian, you will be my husband in the future. The Gu family bracelet is passed down to daughters, not sons. You may not know about my family situation, but I lost both my parents when I was young and I don’t have a younger sister. If you don’t accept this, my grandfather would never pass the bracelet to me!”
Liu Nian: "...I'm sorry, I accept it. You...don't be sad."
The smile that had disappeared from Gu Minhang's lips immediately returned. He hugged Liu Nian and said, "Niannian, besides my grandfather, you're the only one I have by my side. You can't leave me, you know?" Otherwise, he would go crazy.
"I won't leave," came Liu Nian's muffled voice.
She felt a pang of sadness. Her life was fading away, and any promises she made now could only be used to appease him. Call her selfish if you will, but no matter what, she wouldn't live here for long and wouldn't be able to stay with him for much longer.
Gu Minhang, I hope you will forgive me then.
"Cough cough!"
Suddenly, a cough came from behind them. Liu Nian immediately stepped back and glanced behind him.
"Father, sister, are you leaving too?"
Liu Yansheng nodded: "Yes, it's getting late. You two should go back too! Don't linger outside for too long."
"knew."
Their car arrived. Liu Yansheng got in first, and Liu Xing glanced at them before getting in as well. The car then drove away from the restaurant.
Liu Nian looked at Gu Minhang and asked, "Gu Minhang, when is your birthday? You're not younger than me, are you?"
Gu Minhang: "..."
Seeing that he didn't speak, Liu Nian became happy: "Haha, I didn't expect that I'm older than you? You've never called me 'sister' before. Call me 'sister' and let me hear it!"
Gu Minhang turned his head to look at the distance, a trace of sadness creeping into his eyes.
Because of his height, Liu Nian didn't notice that something was wrong with his expression, assuming that he didn't want to call out, and didn't make things difficult for him.
"Alright, if you're not going to call, then don't. Let's take a taxi back. Standing here isn't going to help."
Gu Minhang turned his head and looked down at her delicate face, wanting to say something, but in the end he just sighed softly.
"It's not far from home. Shall I carry you back? I've never carried you before, want to try?"
Liu Nian looked up, her eyes gleaming with undisguised excitement: "Great!"
Then Gu Minhang carried her on his back, walking slowly along the way.
"Year after year, I really want to just keep carrying you like this, and walk together all the way."
Liu Nian leaned on his shoulder, and she could tell that he seemed to be in a bad mood.
"Am I heavy or not!"
"Heavy."
Liu Nian playfully patted his shoulder: "Put me down, I can walk by myself."
"I won't let go."
"Didn't you complain that I was too heavy?"
"Because I'm carrying my whole world on my back!" How could his whole world not be heavy?
Liu Nian fell silent instantly, quietly resting her head on his shoulder, feeling the sense of security emanating from him.
"So I'm this heavy," she murmured to herself.
