Chapter 139 You are the sunshine that warms me
Shang Ruoting looked at her and said sincerely, "Thank you."
Tan Chen laughed and reached out to touch her head: "What are you talking about? We are husband and wife, why do we need to say thank you?"
This was not the first time that Shang Ruoting had been touched on the head by Tan Chen. She used to feel nothing, but she didn't know if it was because she had read that part in the original novel, but she suddenly felt a sense of familiarity.
But she couldn't remember when this familiar feeling happened last time.
In order to confirm whether part of the content in the book actually happened, Shang Ruoting asked directly.
"Tan Chen, did we have any contact before you joined the army?"
When Tan Chen was asked this, he was stunned for a moment: "What did you remember?"
Shang Ruoting guessed something from Tan Chen's rhetorical question. The story in the original book about them eating pancakes together when they were young was real.
"I had a dream last night. It seemed like when I was a child, my aunt didn't give me food to eat. I took the pancakes that my grandma secretly gave me and went under a big tree, and then I met a little brother..."
Having said that, Tan Chen put down the cart and excitedly took her hand: "Ruoting, do you remember?"
"You were only ten years old at that time..." The part spoken by Tan Chen himself was exactly the same as the content of the original book.
Now that the authenticity of the story had been confirmed, Shang Ruoting decided to get to the bottom of it.
"Did you agree to marry me because of that childhood experience?"
Tan Chen smiled: "No."
Shang Ruoting was even more confused. "Given your personality, you wouldn't just agree to your mother's request. No...it's Comrade Zou Meihua's request. You're just blindly marrying me like that."
Seeing that Shang Ruoting was very interested in this matter, Tan Chen did not intend to hide it.
"When she asked me to get married, I knew their intention was just to get rid of a useless person like me who couldn't earn work points."
"Besides, I didn't hold out much hope for my eyesight to recover at that time. I just wanted to fulfill her wish and move on from this family sooner rather than later. As for the wife she found for me, whether she was round or flat, I didn't care. I couldn't see anyway."
Shang Ruoting could tell that when Zou Meihua asked him to get married, he had already given up all hope in life.
"Haven't you ever thought about this? If your eyes can't recover, you'll become a burden to your future wife?"
After hearing this, Tan Chen was obviously a little ashamed. "At that time, I just wanted to separate from that family as soon as possible. As for the person I married, if she doesn't want to, I can divorce her after the separation and give her some compensation."
Shang Ruoting rolled her eyes at him fiercely: "You think that's a beautiful thing. Even if they are divorced, they are still remarried. You are really selfish to do this."
In fact, Tan Chen felt very regretful and self-blamed about this. At that time, due to Zou Meihua's coercion and because he was immersed in the pain of blindness all day long, he did not consider it so comprehensively.
Fortunately, his eyesight is healed now, otherwise, he would have harmed the woman he never wanted to hurt in his life.
"It was indeed my fault. I was not thoughtful enough at the time due to some personal reasons."
Shang Ruoting asked these questions not to condemn his behavior, but mainly to understand his inner thoughts.
"Since you don't even know my name, how do you know that the little girl who shared the cake with you is me?"
Tan Chen looked at her with burning eyes: "When I saw you for the first time after my eyesight recovered, I was sure that you were that little girl. Your eyes are very special, always watery, and this kind of spirit is not possessed by others."
"Also, after seeing the red mole on your ear, I am even more certain of this."
Shang Ruoting looked at his serious expression and laughed unintentionally, jokingly saying, "You didn't fall in love with me at that time, did you?"
Tan Chen patted her head lovingly again: "Haha... I can't say I like you, but I've always been grateful to you. It's you who taught me to have the right attitude towards things. Don't indulge in negative emotions too much. The world is so big, there is always a ray of sunshine to warm you."
"Ruoting, you are the ray of sunshine that warms me, no matter in the past, present or future..."
Shang Ruoting was somewhat moved by what he said. Yes... life is never smooth sailing. No matter what happens, as long as there is a ray of sunshine in your heart, you will eventually get out of the haze.
She took the initiative to hold Tan Chen's arm and said, "Our future will definitely be full of sunshine."
Tan Chen looked at Shang Ruoting's confident expression about the future, bent down and kissed her little face which had a little baby fat.
"Ruoting, you have already entered my heart."
Shang Ruoting was caught off guard by being kissed by Tan Chen, and then she heard his sentimental words, and her whole face turned red.
However, this time she didn't show any dissatisfaction. After all, she had already made up her mind to have a good love affair with the man in front of her in this different time and space. Even if the final outcome was not perfect, it would be worth it for her...
