Lifting her head from Feng Tingyun's embrace and meeting his deep, earnest eyes, Meng Zhixue suddenly felt a mix of emotions.

Feng Tingyun's expression was very serious, not like he was joking or acting on impulse.

His brow was slightly furrowed, and his jaw was clenched, as if he had rehearsed the words in his mind many times before finally saying them.

If it were their first life, he probably wouldn't have dared to ask her so directly.

At that time, she was terrified of him. If he suddenly proposed, she would most likely not be happy, but rather be so frightened that she would be at a loss for what to do.

But it's different now.

Because she is different now, he has also become different from his first life...

She was just curious: did he also want to be with her for the rest of his life at this moment?

His feelings for her were deeper than she had imagined.

So for her in her first life...

In fact, she had already received a great deal of love.

However, due to a narrow perspective, unforeseen circumstances, and choices made in a state of insecurity at the time, several relationships ultimately ended in separation.

Too……

Relationships involve two people, so of course both of them need to work together to manage and maintain them.

Neither can be missing.

Meng Zhixue smiled sweetly, her eyes crinkling, and tilted her head up to kiss Commander Feng on the cheek, readily agreeing, "Okay!"

This answer also surprised Feng Tingyun.

He really hoped she would agree.

But she actually agreed, and he felt like he was dreaming.

He tightened his arms around Meng Zhixue's waist and kissed her hard on the lips, as if he wanted to meld her into his bones.

He gazed intently at her, his eyes brimming with uncontrollable laughter, and asked in a slightly hoarse voice, "Shall we get our marriage certificate tomorrow?"

"So fast?" Meng Zhixue asked in surprise.

"Hmm," Feng Tingyun looked up at her, his dark eyes reflecting the warm yellow light of the bedside lamp, "I don't want to wait anymore."

If the Civil Affairs Bureau weren't closed at night, he wouldn't want to stay overnight.

What if she only had a passing fancy and changed her mind tomorrow?

Logically speaking, you should trust your loved one.

But he was genuinely a bit anxious and insecure.

Looking at him, Meng Zhixue noticed that he was usually calm and serious, someone who wouldn't flinch even if Mount Tai collapsed before him, but now he seemed a little nervous.

He looked at her nervously, as if afraid of being rejected. His tiger-like act of pretending to be a cat made her want to laugh.

"Okay, relax," she said earnestly. "Tomorrow is fine, I won't stand you up. After we get our marriage certificate, you can take pictures and post them on WeChat Moments together."

Feng Tingyun nodded: "Okay."

Meng Zhixue thought for a moment and said, "We should also buy a cake to celebrate."

"it is good."

"If you have time, how about we have a destination wedding?"

"it is good."

"Shouldn't you treat your family and friends to a meal?"

"it is good."

"..."

Meng Zhixue teased, "Feng Tingyun, is 'okay' all you can say today? Can't you say anything else? You won't just say 'okay' no matter what request I make of you, will you?"

"Hmm..." she said, feigning fierceness, "Then I'll sell you, you'll run back, I'll sell you again, and we'll keep doing this to make money, okay?"

Feng Tingyun smiled, lowered his head and kissed her lips, saying with utmost affection, "Okay."

How could it not be good?

This is all wonderful.

Meng Zhixue was amused by him, laughing so hard her shoulders were shaking, and she buried her whole body in his arms.

Listening to the steady, powerful heartbeat in his chest, she suddenly felt that this life was good, and it really would be good.

Everything is just right.

……

Evenings in the military compound offer a different kind of tranquility.

Because the courtyard house needed to be renovated, Meng Zhixue and Feng Tingyun temporarily moved back to the military compound for a few months.

It was dusk.

The tall trees along the road cast deep shadows in the twilight, the streetlights were not yet on, and the last trace of orange-red sunset glow remained on the horizon.

Meng Zhixue took Feng Tingyun's arm and strolled around the neighborhood to digest their food, walking at a leisurely pace.

She was wearing a loose-fitting dark green cotton-linen dress and a pair of gray soft-soled slippers.

Feng Tingyun changed into a dark gray short-sleeved shirt, but still wore the same military green casual pants, which looked somewhat like a couple's outfit.

The two chatted casually as they walked.

Meng Zhixue said she tried making braised pork ribs in the kitchen today, but she added too much soy sauce and it was a bit too salty.

Feng Tingyun said he would be away for a few days next week due to an exercise, but would try to come back by the weekend.

The setting sun cast long shadows of the two people, which overlapped, creating a sweet and romantic scene.

As the two walked to the small square in the center of the community, Meng Zhixue suddenly heard a clear, childlike laugh.

She looked up and immediately spotted three familiar faces…

Jiang Wenhao was squatting on the ground tying his daughter's shoelaces, while Tian Jingyi stood beside him, smiling as she watched, holding a bottle of bubble solution and occasionally blowing a string of sparkling bubbles into the air.

The little girl looked to be three or four years old. She had two pigtails, wore a floral dress, and chased after the bubbles. Her short legs moved incredibly fast as she giggled non-stop.

Meng Zhixue paused for a moment.

Is that little girl Jiang Tiantian?

No, it's impossible.

In her second life, she happened to pass by the river and saw Jiang Tiantian fall into the water. Without saying a word, she jumped in and rescued her.

It was during that time that she and Feng Tingyun "reunited".

Later, she founded a children's sensory integration training studio, and Jiang Tiantian was her student, having enrolled in classes there for a long time.

She practically watched Jiang Tiantian grow up.

However, the ages don't match.

In her second life, she met Jiang Tiantian "several years ago," when Jiang Tiantian was already seven or eight years old. Now she could only be older.

This little girl...

As she was pondering, Tian Jingyi looked over and waved, "Commander Feng!"

He then greeted Meng Zhixue with a smile: "You must be Zhixue, right? I saw you once at your wedding banquet when you married Feng Tingyun, but there were probably too many people around, so you probably don't remember us."

Meng Zhixue felt somewhat embarrassed.

She didn't have many relatives or friends, but Feng Tingyun had quite a few guests attending the wedding.

With so many procedures on her wedding day, the bride felt overwhelmed and didn't see Tian Jingyi and her family.

However, it's not too late to get to know now.

She smiled, pursed her lips, and waved: "Hello."

Several people stood together chatting.

Meng Zhixue asked proactively, "Is your child three or four years old?"

Tian Jingyi smiled: "Where? This is my second child. The first one is already in elementary school."

Meng Zhixue blinked.

correct.

That makes sense.

She said that if you calculate Jiang Tiantian's age, she should be fourteen or fifteen years old now.

The little girl in front of me is named Jiang Lele. She is also a soft and cute little girl who looks a lot like her older sister.
