Chen Sisi suspected that she was exhausted, otherwise why would her chest hurt for no reason?
"Mom, don't worry. I've been doing my job properly. Let people say what they want. It won't hurt me."
"It's our life to live, and it has nothing to do with others. As long as you don't care, gossip can't hurt you."
Chen Sisi's mindset is quite good; otherwise, what else could she do?
She couldn't silence people either.
Xu Hongying glanced at her. This young girl was quite old, but she spoke with great eloquence.
Gu Chengfeng was silent for a moment, as if he had made a decision, his eyes showing sincerity: "Mom, I know you mean well, but if Sisi likes it, then we will support her."
After saying that, he gazed intently at Chen Sisi with his deep eyes: "With me, you can do whatever you want, and I will support you unconditionally."
A strange warmth welled up in Shen Sisi's heart, like a gentle spring rain that swept away all her worries.
"Thank you..." She smiled brightly, revealing two shallow dimples on her cheeks.
After finishing his meal, Gu Chengfeng turned on his flashlight and continued making the trolley.
Xu Hongying went to the kitchen to wash the dishes, and asked Chen Sisi to keep Niu Niu company while she read a book. She would make malted milk powder for the little one later.
Chen Sisi then noticed that there were two cans of malted milk powder, a set of storybooks, a drawing notebook, and a set of colored crayons in the cabinet at home.
"Mom, did you buy this?" Chen Sisi asked.
Xu Hongying laughed and said, "How could I buy these things? Chengfeng prepared them all."
"Despite his tall and burly appearance, he's usually quiet and reserved, but he's very meticulous..."
Chen Sisi nodded in agreement; it was indeed quite meticulous.
She took out crayons, intending to teach Niu Niu to draw some small animals, only to find that Niu Niu had already started drawing, following the cover of the storybook to draw small hills, rivers, and a very big house.
"What are you drawing?" Shen Sisi asked curiously as she leaned closer, but accidentally startled the little guy.
She panicked, covered her sketchbook with both hands, and threw herself onto the table: "Mom, don't look! I haven't finished drawing yet. I'll show you when I'm done."
Chen Sisi gently rubbed Niu Niu's head, annoyed. The child was young, but already had her own ideas, and she was being all mysterious.
"Okay, then you keep drawing, I'll go help in the backyard."
Chen Sisi picked up Gu Chengfeng's enamel mug, poured in a cup of warm water, and carefully carried it to the backyard.
"Gu Chengfeng, take a rest and have some water..."
The car is already taking shape; it just needs a few minor adjustments.
Gu Chengfeng casually wiped away his sweat, took the enamel cup, and lightly touched it with his fingers. Both of them flinched in surprise, as if they had been electrocuted, their fingertips tingling.
"Um, I'll go check the car..." Chen Sisi let go of his hand and walked awkwardly toward the car.
One glance was enough to elicit a gasp of amazement.
"Gu Chengfeng, you're amazing! This car is exactly the same as the one in my blueprints..."
Gu Chengfeng drank plain water, but it tasted like it had sugar in it, making it sweet.
Is that impressive?
He has even more impressive abilities that Sisi hasn't seen yet...
Chen Sisi, like a curious child, squatted by the car, looking left and right, touching it in amazement.
It's no exaggeration to say that Gu Chengfeng's skills are no worse than those of the hired carpenter.
"Gu Chengfeng, when did you learn carpentry?" Chen Sisi asked.
Gu Chengfeng sat down to rest for a while, his gaze becoming distant.
“I learned it from my master when I was in the army.”
His master was a carpenter before he joined the army, and his skills were first-rate. It's just a pity... he's no longer here.
Shen Sisi felt that she had found a treasure by marrying Gu Chengfeng.
"As the saying goes, the master leads you through the door, but the cultivation depends on yourself. You are very capable and have great potential..." Shen Sisi did not hold back her praise, making Gu Chengfeng's ears turn red again.
“My master said that if I don’t become an officer, I will have to retire and leave the military when I reach the appropriate age. Since I call him my master, he will teach me a skill so that I won’t starve to death when I go out into the world.”
"What a great master, you're very lucky..."
“Yes…” Gu Chengfeng sighed, recalling some past events. Then, he put down his cup, returned to the car, and picked up the sandpaper used for polishing from the ground.
"Don't touch it, this wood hasn't been polished yet, be careful not to prick yourself..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Sisi hissed and his face contorted in pain.
Her hand touched a splinter!
It hurts so much...
She covered her right index finger, making a painful gesture.
"Don't move!" Gu Chengfeng grabbed her finger and put it in the flashlight beam, but found that the thorn was too small to be removed by hand.
Seeing that Chen Sisi was sweating profusely from the pain, he opened his mouth without thinking and took her finger into his mouth.
"It hurts..." Chen Sisi whimpered, her cry making Gu Chengfeng's bones go weak.
"Don't move, it'll be over soon..." He tried to control his breathing, but still couldn't help but stammer a few times.
A few seconds later, Chen Sisi felt the stinging pain in her fingertips disappear, and felt a sense of relief as if a foreign object had been pulled out.
With the pain relieved, a flood of sensations, previously ignored by her, surged forth.
Gu Chengfeng's lips are so soft, and his tongue is so soft too...
A warm tongue gently pressed against her fingertips, moving as nimbly as a little snake...
Whether it was her imagination or Gu Chengfeng's deliberate act, she felt as if the tongue was teasing her.
She was so startled that she withdrew her hand, her fingers glistening with moisture.
"I'm fine now."
Her face flushed bright red, the color spreading from her cheeks to her neck, making her almond-shaped eyes and peach-like cheeks stand out, causing Gu Chengfeng's heart to flutter.
She's alright, but he's in trouble...
"Go wash up quickly and apply some medicine."
"good……"
Chen Sisi fled in panic, forgetting even to take her enamel mug with her.
Once that figure had completely disappeared around the corner, Gu Chengfeng stood up stiffly, his frantic heartbeat echoing throughout the courtyard.
They worked until midnight before the little car was finally finished.
Gu Chengfeng tried lifting the firewood, which weighed about 100 jin (50 catties), and had no problem at all.
He parked the car under the eaves of the house in the backyard and swept up the wood chips scattered on the ground, intending to use them as fuel for a fire the next day.
After finishing all this, he shook off the sawdust from his clothes and was about to grab a change of clothes when he saw Chen Sisi asleep on the sofa armrest.
Even when they're tired, they don't know to go to bed.
Gu Chengfeng bent down, supporting her slender back with one hand and wrapping his other arm around her legs, effortlessly lifting her into the air.
Exhausted from deep thought, she let him pick her up at will, mumbled a couple of times, and then snuggled into his arms like a kitten.
Gu Chengfeng's already hot body was almost burning up.
"Don't move, stay still..."
