Chen Shuning cried for a while before her emotions gradually calmed down. She nestled in He Chaoyang's arms, looking at the undisguised worry and heartache in the man's eyes.
Drinking the warm water poured by her younger brother, and feeling his deep care, Chen Shuning gradually realized that this might be the regret her grandmother had mentioned.
Her life is incomplete; she has never been married, has never had children of her own, and the family and love she longed for in her past life are right before her eyes.
If she were to leave like this, even if she were to reunite with her grandparents and parents, she would still have regrets.
Although Chen Shuning was still upset after figuring things out, she stopped worrying and just hoped that her grandparents and parents would really be as her grandmother had said.
We'll wait for her there, until she passes away peacefully without regrets, and then we'll reunite with her.
Sniffing, Chen Shuning asked in a hoarse voice, "What time is it now?"
Seeing that the little girl had finally stopped crying, He Chaoyang, who had been on edge the whole time, breathed a sigh of relief. He glanced at his watch and said, "It's ten o'clock. Do you want to sleep a little longer?"
After finishing the warm water in the cup in one gulp, Chen Shuning shook his head and said, "I'm not going to sleep anymore. It's time to make dumplings. I'll sleep after I finish eating the dumplings."
After saying that, Chen Shuning got up and washed his face, and then the three of them started to get busy.
He Chaoyang chopped the meat filling, Chen Shuning kneaded the dough, and Chen Jiandang was in charge of tending the fire. He would also be responsible for wrapping the dumplings later. They planned to make cabbage and pork dumplings for dinner.
After a flurry of activity, the dumplings were ready just in time for midnight.
The three of them ate a simple bite, took a stroll in the yard to digest their food, and then went back to sleep.
Because of the crying he had just given Chen Shuning, He Chaoyang was worried about her sleeping alone, so he asked Chen Jiandang to stay with her while he returned to his temporary rented room.
In fact, He Chaoyang would rather stay and keep the little girl company. Although he could guarantee that he was a gentleman and only wanted to keep the little girl company, he had to consider Chen Shuning's reputation.
Now he can only hope that the little girl grows up quickly so that he can marry her soon.
