96. Good luck leads to a healthy pregnancy.
The subsequent book signing events in M City will be held almost daily.
And a single event can be completed in about half a day.
Considering that Gu Zhao had only two days of vacation left, Ke Qi would take the opportunity to stroll around M City with him for the remaining half day after the book signing event.
Then, as he wandered around, he ended up in the small village where he had been abducted and sold into slavery.
Zhoukou Bay is located in M City, below Yunshui Town.
Time has passed, and the once isolated village has now been developed into a tourist attraction after being featured in a TV series.
Ke Qi looked at the clean country road in front of her and turned to look at Gu Zhao.
"This place has been developed like this, Gu Zhao, do you still remember the place where you were imprisoned back then?"
Of course, asking this question was absolutely not meant to reopen old wounds.
After all, it was he who said he would bring her to see it.
"Well~" Gu Zhao looked at the drastically changed environment in front of him, "I still have some impression of it, we can go and look for it."
After saying that, he took her hand and walked forward. A moment later, they saw that there were more tourists around, and a ticket booth appeared in front of them.
At the ticket office, there was a sign that was blatantly displayed:
Visit the "Marriage Tree" at Hongxianling (entrance fee 20 RMB per person!).
Seeing this, Ke Qi raised an eyebrow: "Your impression of me is that I brought you here to pray for a good marriage?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Zhao replied confidently, "If I remember correctly, the environment has simply changed."
After saying that, he smiled and led her to the ticket booth: "Since we're already here, let's go and check it out."
Ke Qi was both amused and exasperated.
It's true what they say, "Since we're already here..."
I initially thought he might be unhappy about revisiting the place and being reminded of his childhood trauma.
Unexpectedly, the result was completely the opposite.
Ke Qi couldn't help but say, "Gu Zhao, you have such a good attitude! Aren't you sad at all?"
If she had experienced such a calamity in her childhood, she would be terrified of this place and would want to stay far away from it.
Looking at the smile on his face, she asked suspiciously, "You're not just pretending to be happy for me, are you?"
After all, he's always been able to remain calm even when a knife is in his body; his insistence on getting close to her despite the excruciating pain is a prime example.
"sad?"
Gu Zhao chuckled and shook her head: "How could that be?"
He turned to look at her and tightened his grip on her hand: "If it weren't for this experience, I wouldn't have met you."
If he hadn't met her, he might never have fallen in love or gotten married in his entire life.
After all, that would be a constraint on his free life.
But it's different if the object is her.
That will not be a constraint, but a wonderful family bliss.
"Ke Qiqi".
He lowered his head and placed an affectionate kiss on her cheek: "You are the darling of God."
"Let's visit the place where our destiny began; perhaps we'll find some surprises?"
Surprised?
Ke Qi originally didn't believe in this kind of superstitious marriage-related check-in, but now he couldn't help but look forward to it a bit after hearing what he said.
Okay~
During their conversation, the two tacitly went to the ticket office and bought two tickets. They also spent an extra two hundred dollars to each buy two love ropes and two blessing plaques.
"What a rip-off!"
Ke Qi looked at the love rope and blessing plaque in her hand in shock: "It's just a cultural and creative product from a tourist attraction, it hasn't even been blessed by a temple or Taoist temple, how dare they sell it for such a high price?"
"Yeah, it was a total rip-off, I won't come here again."
While indignantly agreeing with her, Gu Zhao went to the payment area and readily paid for the love rope and blessing plaque with a smile.
"Let's go, baby!"
He led her enthusiastically toward the steps leading up the mountain: "Whether it's consecrated or not doesn't matter, sincerity is what matters."
Sincerity is the best policy; being a sucker is more likely.
Ke Qi silently grumbled to herself, but didn't spoil the fun, and obediently followed him to start climbing the mountain.
Unfortunately, she's a pushover, lacking the swagger of an S-class succubus.
She had only climbed less than a third of the way when she started to pant.
"I can't go on anymore, I can't climb anymore, sob."
She was so exhausted she almost popped out of her shell, and didn't want to suffer any more, so she simply opened her arms and whine to him, "Carry me on your back~"
Hongxianling is not low in altitude, and she had to carry him after climbing only a third of the way. If it were an ordinary boy, even if he wanted to save face, he would hesitate for a moment.
But Gu Zhao did not hesitate at all and agreed: "Okay."
As he spoke, he walked down the steps below her and squatted down.
Ke Qi smiled with satisfaction and was about to lean on his back when, unexpectedly...
"ah!"
A scream suddenly rang out, startling Ke Qi, who instinctively turned around to look.
Then……
"Bang!"
A dull thud rang out, and Ke Qi stumbled as the woman suddenly bumped into her.
She instinctively grabbed the railing next to her.
But women weren't so lucky; they were about to continue falling.
Ke Qi's eyes widened, and without thinking, in a flash, he reached out and grabbed the woman's arm.
Fortunately, this instinctive rescue gave the woman some breathing room, allowing her to grab onto the railing and regain her balance.
"Phew~"
Seeing this, Ke Qi breathed a sigh of relief and was about to ask the woman if she was alright when a hurried hug enveloped her.
"Are you alright, baby?" Gu Zhao's voice rang out, still shaken.
He only turned around for a few seconds, and that's when this happened.
He looked down at her, his dark eyebrows furrowed tightly: "Are you hurt anywhere?"
Ke Qi shook her head, "I didn't..."
She was trying to reassure him that everything was alright.
But then...
"Thank you for helping me earlier, miss," the woman who had just been pulled over suddenly said.
The woman's expression still held gratitude for surviving the ordeal: "If it weren't for you, I would have been finished."
Seeing this, Ke Qi quickly shook her head: "Ah, it's nothing, it's nothing..."
After exchanging words of gratitude and politeness, the woman didn't dare to climb any further and went straight down the mountain.
Seeing her clutching her stomach as she descended the mountain, Ke Qi asked worriedly, "Gu Zhao, do you think she's feeling unwell? Should we go check on her again?"
"Need not."
Gu Zhao rubbed her head and said firmly, "She and the baby in his belly are both fine."
Upon hearing this, Ke Qi was shocked.
"Oh, she... she's pregnant?"
"Um."
Ke Qi recalled the woman's relatively flat stomach from earlier and asked in confusion, "How did you know?"
"Her hormones smell different."
At this point, he gently stroked the tip of her delicate nose: "Thanks to our little bodhisattva, two lives were saved."
"Oh, what a coincidence!" Ke Qi was also confused.
"And can you really tell if someone is pregnant just by smelling the hormones in their skin?"
So the unusual smell she noticed on the woman was because the woman was pregnant?
She thought it was because she had sprayed some strange perfume on her.
"certainly."
Gu Zhao lowered his eyes, moved his large hand down, and covered her lower abdomen: "If the baby is pregnant at that time, he will still be able to smell it very clearly."
"I?"
Ke Qi was both amused and exasperated. "I'm not that fast yet."
After all, they haven't even had their first heat yet.
"What if?"
Gu Zhao looked at her intently with his dark eyes, "Do good deeds and accumulate good fortune."
"The pregnant woman bumped right into you, and you caught her."
"So it's about welcoming good luck~" he said, raising the corners of his eyes, "Why can't it be welcoming a pregnancy?"
Ke Qi blinked.
Hey, that makes a strange sense, doesn't it?
