Meng Fuyan was surprised, never expecting Gu Tingzhi to say such a thing; she had never thought of it before.
She looked up at Gu Tingzhi.
Gu Tingzhi looked down at her and smiled, "What's wrong? Don't you believe me?"
Meng Fuyan pursed her lips and remained silent.
Gu Tingzhi smiled and stroked her long hair. "I know your experiences and the education you received from childhood. I don't think there's anything wrong with your thoughts. If I were you, I might think the same way."
"But I will also teach you another way, which is that since things are beyond repair, you have to accept it. Since it is a good thing, it will attract covetousness. The people who don't want you to lose it the most are the beneficiaries. Your family members are all beneficiaries, so why would they hurt you?"
"You saved my life this time, and you will protect my child in the future. I know how capable you are, and I will do everything in my power to protect you, understand?"
Meng Fuyan understood what he meant; what he said made a lot of sense, and she hadn't thought of it that way before.
Leaning back on his shoulder, Meng Fuyan muttered, "You guessed it all?"
Gu Tingzhi laughed, "I have one too, how could I not guess?"
Meng Fuyan was stunned and looked up at him again.
Gu Tingzhi blinked. "What's wrong? Didn't you already guess that?"
Meng Fuyan: "..."
Sure enough, they were all smart people; the moment they slipped up, they were all exposed.
Meng Fuyan rolled her eyes gracefully, leaned on his shoulder, and stopped looking at him. "I knew you were too smart. I couldn't stay in front of you for too long, or I would be exposed sooner or later. Beauty really is a trap. I should have broken up with you and run away a long time ago."
Gu Tingzhi immediately smiled, touched her hair, took a strand and smelled it. He felt that her hair smelled nice, and her whole body smelled nice.
The girl nurtured by this spiritual spring water is indeed extraordinary; he is truly blessed!
"You've raised me all my life... I'm healthy in body and mind, how could I bear to break up with you? No matter what you do, I will never agree to break up. Even if you run away, I will do everything I can to coax you back, marry you, protect you, take care of you, and hold you every night to sleep."
Meng Fuyan said, "Isn't the last sentence the real purpose?"
Gu Tingzhi laughed heartily, "No, not at all, every single word is true."
Gu Tingzhi asked her, "Is it the space inside that bracelet? In my past life, I heard that recording. My space was huge, and it was almost collapsing. But when I got your Hetian jade bracelet in this life, the space stabilized."
“I brought back everything I had in my past life. There were some things Wu Siyu had packed in there. What about yours?”
Meng Fuyan closed her eyes and resigned herself to her fate.
She even figured out his rebirth. Smart people are terrifying. She knew it! A big reason she was able to guess his past was because she had "experience." Now, he, who also has experience, has guessed hers too.
“My space isn’t big, and I only have a little bit of living supplies. But there’s a small place where I can grow things, just a small plot, but that’s enough. At least it can hide people. There’s also a magical spring that I drink from often, and you drink from often too.”
Gu Tingzhi laughed and said, "Then... give me some more to drink, so I can get better sooner and won't have to suffer like this lying here!"
Meng Fuyan stood up, took a cup, and filled it to the brim for him. "Here, undiluted, pure."
Gu Tingzhi smelled it; it had no smell, just like ordinary water, practically colorless and odorless.
I took a sip and immediately felt a difference.
It was much sweeter than any water he had ever drunk. The moment it entered his body, he felt a cool sensation spread throughout his limbs and bones, as if his energy had been fully replenished. His fatigue and weakness were greatly reduced, and his wounds seemed to become active and heal quickly.
"That's amazing?"
Meng Fuyan nodded, "Yes! It's that amazing."
Gu Tingzhi finished the drink in one gulp, put the cup aside, and with renewed strength, he sat up, leaning against the headboard, looking at her with a smile in his eyes.
Why are you looking at me like that?
Gu Tingzhi smiled, "I just feel so lucky. Yanyan, you're so good to me, healing my injuries. I'll definitely make it up to you in the future!"
Meng Fuyan was taken aback. Something about what she was saying seemed off.
"Compensate me?"
Gu Tingzhi nodded seriously, moved closer to her, and said ambiguously, "Well, no one else could heal my injury, but you did. Of course, I have to make it up to you. I will definitely work harder in the future."
Meng Fuyan's face turned slightly red. She gritted her teeth and glared at him. If it weren't for his injury, she would have liked to punch him twice.
"You still have the mind to joke at a time like this? Looks like you're not hurt enough!"
Meng Fuyan gently pushed him away, and Gu Tingzhi took her hand, pulled her close, and held her against the headboard.
"From now on, don't worry or be afraid. I will protect you and take care of the aftermath. Also, you don't need to worry about not being able to protect yourself because you have no power or influence. In the future, if I do something, I will take you with me so that you will share in the credit. In the future, your status will not be lower than mine. So, are you no longer afraid?"
Meng Fuyan raised an eyebrow. "Really? I can too?"
Gu Tingzhi laughed and said, "Of course you can. With a treasure like you, as long as you operate it well, you can get any credit you want. It's just that you haven't done this kind of work before, so you don't quite know how to operate it. I'll teach you later."
"Our country is so big that it's unlikely to be a one-man show. So, in the future, we'll definitely be among the people with the most influence, okay?"
