He said that when they walked together, Lu You couldn't hold back anymore.
She bypassed Lian Zhan, walked directly to Si Jin's side, took his hand, and stepped outside.
He walked very, very slowly, staring intently at the ground. After a long while, he finally released Si Jin's hand, slowly raised his hand, and tugged at Nie Linyuan's sleeve: "Brother, can I hug you..."
Nie Linyuan opened his arms, listening to him continue, "Your husband?"
"..."
"Don't worry, brother, I... I didn't mean anything else, I just... I just..." As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes, and she turned and threw herself into Si Jin's arms.
He just wanted to find a place to cry for a while, to find someone like a parent to hold him and let him cry for a bit.
Tears soaked through Si Jin's white shirt. A breeze blew by, lifting Lu You's soft, short hair. When he looked up again, the boy was much better.
He heard Si Jin ask, "Why did you look for me instead of your brother?"
Lu You sniffed: "I always felt that you were more capable, gentler, and more reliable than him, more like the matriarch. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have called you sister-in-law the first time we met. I think you're more like his husband."
"Brother Jin, can I... call you brother too?"
"Yes, and besides, haven't you noticed that you're speaking haltingly?"
Si Jin's reminder made Lu You realize what she meant, and he continued, "That was a gift your father left for you before he passed away."
Then, the child heard this and wanted to cry again.
Before the tears could fall, Nie Linyuan quickly pulled the person to his side, somewhat displeased: "Don't cling to your brother-in-law. I'm very gentle too."
Lu You smiled and wiped away his tears: "Brother... is jealous."
The bright sun shone directly on the boy's smiling face, which was streaked with tears.
It felt like he had two older brothers around, and he felt like he was back home.
… …
When I got home, Lian Zhan was gone.
Lu You stood in the living room for a moment, then retreated to his small room. Apart from cooking for his brother and brother-in-law, he basically never went out.
Moreover, Jinjin inexplicably "got angry" and said, "I've had a crush on you for so many years, and if you don't show your love with some kind of dramatic gesture, I'm not talking to you anymore."
Then, because Lu You sided with his brother-in-law, Nie Linyuan couldn't even go home QAQ
The man found a job outside and was surprisingly determined not to go home. Three or four days later, he even sent Si Jin a message: "I'm going on a business trip. See you in a month."
[Sigh.] Xiao Yao couldn't help but sigh and rub her forehead as she was about to return to the System Bureau: [In this world, is Little Heavenly Lord addicted to crematoriums?]
[It's hopeless, hopeless, Amen.]
Si Jin's expression changed. He used his divine power to cancel the business trip, forcing the man to stay in the city and not allow him to go home for a month.
But for a whole month, Nie Linyuan was not seen in the city.
Is he really on a business trip?
Could it be... that his divine power has failed?
Si Jin couldn't quite understand it, so she simply deleted Nie Linyuan. But this guy still persisted in using verification messages to share his daily life with her, just like usual.
A month later, another message appeared on the phone: "Excuse me, I found this phone. Are you the owner's husband? Please acknowledge me so I can return it to you."
Lost your phone?
Si Jin clicked "agree" and chatted with the other end: "Yes, please send it over."
The other end quickly replied: "Then come and get it. I'll wait downstairs."
Downstairs...?
Si Jin became puzzled again. He lived in a detached villa, and he was on the second floor. Moreover, he hadn't been told where the address was.
How did this person, who just found the phone, know so much hidden information?
I decided to turn around and look out the window.
Just then, Nie Linyuan stood in the courtyard, wearing a black trench coat and waving at him. As he did so, clusters of fireworks exploded in the air, illuminating the entire night sky.
The world was bathed in vibrant colors, and amidst the boundless splendor, Nie Linyuan knelt on one knee and presented an exquisite wedding ring.
She called out to him from afar, "Baby, come down quickly. I've been personally overseeing the making of your wedding ring for a month. Since the regulations aren't too strict right now, I can even get you some fireworks."
Are you satisfied with this crematorium? Shall we get married?
Si Jin's lips unconsciously curved into a smile—
He said his divine power couldn't possibly fail; it turns out this guy hadn't even gone on a business trip.
He put on his coat and went downstairs, deliberately making things difficult: "Is this all there is to it? What if I don't agree?"
“My darling, it’s okay.” Nie Linyuan grabbed his hand, put the ring on his finger without saying a word, and pulled him into his arms: “I’m willing to make a new ring every month and propose in a different way every month.”
"Forever and ever, until you agree."
