Ye Jin took the initiative to throw herself into Gu Yan's arms and burst into tears.
It is sad, regretful, and fortunate.
The two missed each other in their previous life, but met early in this life. It was said that they had no fate, but their fate had already been predestined.
"Don't be sad. You were sick when you were a child, so it's okay that you don't remember me. I don't blame you. No matter what happened in the past, it's great that we can meet now."
Gu Yan held her in his arms with one hand and gently patted her back with the other.
His voice was very soft and gentle, and his movements were even more gentle, as if he was holding a priceless treasure.
Being cared for so gently by him, Ye Jin cried even more sadly.
If they had met earlier in their previous life, could her fate have been changed? Would she have avoided experiencing all that pain?
Only she knows how painful it is for someone who has died once.
Although the torture and inhuman treatment she endured were all in the past, he would always break into her dreams at night to scare her and torture her.
No matter how hard she tries to forget, those darkest experiences in her life will always follow her like a shadow.
"Be good, don't cry, I'm here!"
Gu Yan patiently comforted her. Ye Jin was tired of crying and her crying finally subsided.
Gu Yan helped her back to the village. Ye Jin's eyes were red and swollen. She didn't dare to look up, for fear that her grandmother would see her and ask questions.
"Gu Yan, thank you so much for today. I'm so useless that I even soaked your clothes with my tears."
"Everyone has sad days. In front of me, you can cry if you want to, laugh if you want to, without any worries."
When they entered the house, grandma had already prepared a table of food waiting for them.
"Grandma, how come you cook so many delicious dishes?"
Ye Jin quietly wiped away her tears, raised her smile and asked in a relaxed tone.
"Silly girl, today is your birthday, didn't you forget?"
"My birthday?"
Ye Jin hasn't celebrated her birthday for several years, and she had no concept of birthdays in her previous life.
She counted the days carefully and found that today was indeed her birthday.
"Grandma, it turns out today is really my birthday, but no one remembers it except you."
Ye Jin hugged her grandmother with a touched look on her face, and Ye Wei also gave her a bouquet of wild flowers.
"Happy birthday, sister. I don't have much money, so I can only pick a bouquet of flowers for you."
Ye Wei felt a little ashamed. She was already in her teens and still couldn't make much money. She felt so useless.
"Actually, I also prepared a birthday present for you."
Gu Yan took out a large red velvet box from his pocket, opened the box, and knelt on one knee on the ground.
"Ye Jin, I like you and want to marry you. On this beautiful day of your birthday, I hope you can agree to marry me."
Ye Jin covered her mouth in surprise. She didn't expect Gu Yan to suddenly propose to her in front of her grandmother.
If it weren't for the confession on the way, she might have felt it was too impatient and didn't dare to agree, but the two of them were already in love and had expressed their feelings to each other, so refusing now would seem hypocritical.
When Ye Jin turned around, she saw her grandmother and sister looking at her expectantly. Everyone wanted her to agree quickly, but they also wanted her to follow her own heart, so no one urged her.
"I do."
Ye Jin stretched out her right hand, and Gu Yan happily put the ring on her ring finger.
He bent down and kissed her fingers, calling her name passionately.
"Ye Jin, Jin Jin, you finally agreed to marry me. I'm so happy. I've been looking for you and waiting for you for so long. I was so desperate that I almost gave up."
Gu Yan stood up and looked into her eyes lovingly.
Ye Jin looked at him shyly, and the atmosphere between them was ambiguous and tense.
At this moment, Xiaohuo ran out of the room chirping. Although it had gained intelligence, it did not understand human love. It just climbed onto its owner's shoulder excitedly and sat down when it saw her happy.
Gu Yan had originally approached Ye Jin, intending to get close to her, but he was interrupted by this unromantic little squirrel.
With such a big light bulb sitting in front of him, Gu Yan tried several times but failed to bring his mouth to the food. Instead, Ye Jin was amused by him and started giggling.
"Okay, okay, come and eat. The food will get cold soon."
Grandma asked everyone to sit down. After dinner, Ye Wei brought out a small cake from the room.
"Sister, I bought you this little cake with the money I earned from working. I don't have much money, so I can only buy you such a small cake, but it's a token of my love."
"Are you saying that my salary is too low?"
Ye Jin rubbed his sister's head. There were too many happy things today, which washed away her unhappiness. Ye Jin has been smiling since he came back.
"No, no, I work a short time, and I'm not very active. I'm very happy to have saved this much money."
Ye Wei quickly waved her hands. Who else would want her to have such a good job with free food, accommodation and pocket money except her own sister? Although she was young, she still had some self-awareness.
Gu Yan lit the candles, grandma turned off the lights, everyone sang the birthday song, and Ye Jin closed her eyes and happily made a wish.
She has a small heart, but is also a little greedy. She hopes that her grandmother can live to be 98 years old, her sister Ye Wei can be admitted to her ideal university, and Gu Yan can love her forever like he does now.
Ye Jin blew out the candles, and everyone shared the cake. The laughter and joy could be heard from far away.
At night, everyone tidied up and slept soundly.
The next morning, Ye Jin got up early to make breakfast, and Gu Yan squatted beside her to help light the fire.
The two of them prepared breakfast and Ye Wei had already washed up, but her grandmother still didn't get up.
"Why isn't grandma up yet? She usually gets up around five or six."
Ye Jin frowned, looking worried. Gu Yan pinched her palm and told her not to worry.
"Maybe because she stayed up too late last night, grandma is a little tired, so she wants to stay in bed for a while today."
"I hope so."
Ye Jin was worried. She wanted to go to her grandmother's room to check, but was afraid of disturbing her grandmother's rest. Finally, she had to settle for the second best and went around to the window outside and stood on tiptoe to look inside.
Grandma's bed was empty, but there were faint sounds coming from the room.
"grandmother!"
The sharp-eyed Ye Jin saw her grandmother fall under the bed. Her eyes were closed and her old face was wrinkled, looking like she was in great pain.
Gu Yan heard the noise and rushed into his grandmother's room first. He quickly carried his grandmother to the bed and covered her with a quilt.
Ye Jin ran in quickly from outside. There was only one clinic in the village, and there was only one barefoot doctor in the clinic, Dr. Liu. Now Dr. Liu was arrested and locked up in the public security bureau for organ trafficking.
Grandma's condition requires emergency treatment, but the medical conditions in the village are not enough.
Ye Jin pushed a cart and padded it with a thick quilt. Gu Yan carried his grandmother onto the cart, put a pillow behind her head, and carefully covered her with the quilt. They didn't even have time to eat breakfast and hurried out.
