Era: After foreseeing the future, I changed my fate using spatial abilities.

Chapter 195 Object
My heart was pounding like a deer, almost leaping out of my throat.

Breathing rapidly and with a flushed face, Su Ning, unable to bear it any longer, was the first to look away. Unconsciously, her clenched fists were covered in sticky sweat.

"Suning".

"What, what's wrong?"

She glared at him. If you have something to say, just say it. Why are you staring at me like that? You called my name but there was no follow-up.

This made her inexplicably nervous. As if to cover up her nervousness, Su Ning turned to the side, picked up the teacup on the table, and took a big gulp without caring whether it was still too hot for her mouth.

"You are the rhyme in my poem, the blank space in my painting, and an indispensable part of my life..."

"Pfft~"

He spat out the tea he hadn't had time to swallow, scattering a long trail of water droplets on the ground.

"Cough cough cough~"

Then came her earth-shattering cough.

I don't know how much courage it took for me to start replicating Fu Jiaming's successful confession experience, just as he had suggested.

She hadn't even finished expressing her feelings when she reacted so excitedly, leaving even the self-proclaimed clever Yan Bei completely bewildered.

This…

Should we finish what we've said in one go, or wait until she's calmed down?
"Ningning, are you alright?"

After thinking it over and over, Yan Bei's hands moved faster than his brain. He gently patted the back of her hand, and seeing that she was choking and tears were streaming down her face, he couldn't care less about continuing.

"No, cough cough, it's nothing."

Having finally managed to stop the itching in her throat and stop coughing, Su Ning blinked away the water vapor in front of her eyes.

At that moment, his words slowly and automatically replayed in her mind, "Yan Bei, what did you just say?"

As she spoke, the fingertips that were patting her back abruptly withdrew, as if burned by the heat emanating from her back.

The burning sensation quickly rose from my fingertips to my ears, and my neck turned bright red.

My mind was buzzing, and I couldn't recall any of my prepared confessions. All I could say was the simplest and most direct words.

"Ningning, I like you."

"Life is short, without you, what joy is there."

"Ningning, with the goal of spending the rest of our lives together through all the romantic little things, will you be my boyfriend?"

Boom~
Her mind was completely reeling from the shock, and a blush instantly spread across her fair face.

She bit her lip, her bright red lips resembling peach blossoms blooming in March, delicate and alluring.

When he didn't receive her reply for a long time, Yan Bei went from nervous to anxious to panicked. The few minutes felt like an eternity.

His deep eyes gradually regained their coldness: Indeed, I was still too hasty.

"Ningning, I..."

"Yanbei, I..."

Yan Bei pursed his thin lips and looked directly at her. "You go first."

Nodding slightly, Su Ning took another sip of water to suppress the inexplicable thirst in her mouth, and carefully chose her words before continuing, "If it's as you say, I might be a little timid."

"Ok?"

What do you mean?
I thought I would be rejected, but instead I received this cryptic response.

"What I mean is, is it okay to just date without the intention of getting married?"

I only date, not get married.

Or are we just dating and not sure if we'll get married?

These utterly offensive words not only stunned Yan Bei, but also made Su Ning lower his voice a few octaves in embarrassment.

"I... I don't know if I have the confidence to manage a marriage well. If you mind, then..."

"it is good!"

"what?"

"I said okay."

A huge surprise enveloped Yan Bei. All he knew was that Ningning had agreed to date him, and he would be a complete fool if he didn't agree immediately or hesitate for even a second longer.

As for dating without the intention of marriage, is that all immoral?
Ah, money can't buy his willingness!
Others might want to be taken advantage of, but do they even have the chance?

Yan Bei reached out his slightly trembling hand and slowly grasped hers.

The two clasped hands, one large and one small, were both long and slender with distinct knuckles, fitting together perfectly.

"It has been manually stamped and cannot be taken back."

"it is good."

Upon seeing Yan Bei speak such childish words for the first time, Su Ning's dimples became even more pronounced, and she responded by tightly gripping that large hand.

A sweet feeling welled up in my heart: she actually has a boyfriend? The two of them looked at each other, grinning foolishly, so happy that it made me dizzy from lack of oxygen.

After a long while, Su Ning regained her senses, a hint of shyness in her eyes, but she still let him hold her hand without pulling away.

"Now that we're dating, Yanbei, our relationship is different, so there are some things I need to tell you in advance."

"Okay, go ahead and I'm listening."

He sat down right next to her, and Yan Bei transformed into an even more clingy puppy than Xiao Yuanquan, his eyes filled with such deep affection that they were almost dripping with tears.

"Ugh, could you... could you tone it down a bit?"

If your partner gets angry and refuses to hold your hand, he'll be the one who suffers!
In a second, Yan Bei straightened his back and looked up to ask, "Is this alright now?"

It seems like all men in relationships have become somewhat immature. Fu Jiaming is one example, and now even Yan Bei, who is usually aloof, is.

With a wry smile, Su Ning shook her head, gathering her jumbled thoughts, and began to tell him about her family in Beijing.

“My maternal grandparents and my mother have all passed away. I took my mother’s surname, Su.”

As she narrated, any lingering thoughts gradually disappeared, and Yan Bei subconsciously tightened his grip on her hand, unconsciously emanating a strong chill from his body.

I also understand why she said she lacked confidence in managing her marriage, and why she was resistant and even timid.

It's all because of her 'good father'.

After more than twenty years of meticulous disguise and deliberate planning, his mother-in-law only discovered on her deathbed that her lover was a werewolf.

Not only did she lose her own life, but she also nearly killed her two children.

If there really are ghosts and gods, he would rather his mother-in-law do something drastic. For someone like Xu Zixin, it would be better to spend the rest of his life struggling in a deep abyss of fear than to simply take his life.

"Ningning, when you go back to Beijing next time, let me go with you, otherwise I won't feel at ease."

"Ah."

Although she was on guard and always brought Zhang Ze along, Yan Bei still couldn't feel at ease.

"Don't look at me like that."

It's all about feeling incredibly heartbroken.

Her face, which had finally calmed down, showed signs of fever again. Su Ning slightly turned her gaze away. "I have Grandpa Fu and the others, my godfather and godmother, Xiyou Jiaming, and now I have my little brother and you..."

So what if I don't have a father?
All the pain and suffering vanished with the revelation of the truth behind my mother's death; only hatred remained.

"Ning Ning."

A thousand words were condensed into a low murmur, and Yan Bei secretly vowed: to love what she loves and to worry about what she worries about.

He will prove with his actions and the rest of his life that he is definitely not the second Xu Zixin.

……

Having already returned the firewood, Fu Jiaming lingered outside the gate for a long time instead of going in.

He didn't stop squatting until his legs were numb. Then he scratched his head and muttered to himself, "It's been so long, I should have had enough time to be alone, right?"

Limping and enduring the tingling and numb sensation, Fu Jiaming pushed open the gate and walked into the front yard.

After searching around, they found two people sitting silently side by side in the main room.

I was speechless with my brother: what a waste that he fed mosquitoes for almost half an hour!
It seems we still have to rely on him, otherwise, with Yan Qi's personality that even ghosts would find trouble, when will he ever win the heart of his beauty?!

"Hahaha, I'm back! What are you two doing...? I'm going to knock!"

I rubbed my eyes hard, but I still didn't see wrong. My hands were clasped together!
Fu Jiaming stared in disbelief, pointing at the two of them in shock, "What's going on with you two? You're dating?"

What did he miss?
Why was he so foolish as to wait foolishly at the gate?

If he had come in earlier and eavesdropped through the window, wouldn't he have witnessed the whole thing?

Fu Jiaming pounded his chest in anguish, wishing he could go back half an hour and give himself a good beating.

If we miss this golden opportunity to get this kid under our control, there will be very few more chances like it!
"No, I don't agree!"

"Ok?"

What is it that you disagree with?

Yan Bei coldly glanced at him: Say it again.

"How can it count without my witness? No, start over, Yan Qi... Are you serious? I'll fight you to the death!"

Silently lowering her hand that was about to stop the two, Su Ning looked at Fu Jiaming, who was still being unilaterally ravaged as usual, and rubbed her forehead in exasperation: So, there is only one man like this who would offer himself to cheer up his brother!

"Pfft~"

Grapefruit really struck gold.

"I'll go cook. You two remember to call everyone when you're done. Invite Grandpa Yan, Grandma Yan, Uncle Fu, and Aunt Ma to come over for dinner."

"Su Ning, don't leave yet! Aren't you going to take care of your husband?!"

Hearing him say "your home," Su Ning's smile deepened, and she waved her hand behind her back at him, "For Xiyou's sake, Yan Bei, don't slap me in the face."
