"Don't tell me you don't know. Your eyes have already told me the answer. There's no need to cover for him. He has wronged your family. You don't need to be so nice to him."
No, no, no, Auntie, you've got it wrong. I wasn't thinking about him at all.
I've beaten them all up, and I've beaten them up three times.
I'm worried that you'll get too emotional after you learn the information!
"Mom, forget it."
Seemingly sensing Cecilia's intentions, Kiana suddenly pressed down on Cecilia's clenched fists with both palms.
"There's no need to get angry about these things. I've gotten used to it over the years, and everyone in both families has been very good to me."
"Now that you're back to life, I'm so happy to see you again."
"Oh, you child."
Cecilia gently stroked her daughter's hair and sighed helplessly.
"Mom hasn't fulfilled her responsibilities either; Mom is sorry."
Seeing the two of them almost hugging and crying again, Gu Yu silently picked up the white porridge that Kiana had cooked for him earlier.
For now, he should say nothing and just enjoy his porridge.
I feel like I haven't eaten in ages; my stomach is completely empty.
It feels like it's been more than ten days since I last ate.
"But thankfully, you have Xiaoyu with you."
what?
After recalling the battle in the forest, Cecilia said with great relief.
"I really didn't expect that Mr. Gu's child, who was a civil servant, would turn into a militant."
"He's a big brother from the forest, and he's really handsome."
Hearing the mother and daughter suddenly shift their conversation to her, Gu Yu pretended to be indifferent and continued to slurp her porridge.
I have a feeling that the topic we're about to discuss is going to turn sour.
Didn't I escape from St. Freya Academy just to take a vacation?!
Why did it turn out like this?!
"Seeing how close you two are makes me feel at ease. Kiana, Xiaoyu, you two still remember things from when you were little, right?"
Seeing her daughter finally smile in her arms, Cecilia suddenly said.
“I once made a marriage agreement between you two with your parents. Now that I see you two like this, I feel at ease.”
"Xiaoyu, you're not a child anymore. Now, let me just say what I have to say..."
Why did the topic suddenly shift to this Chinese New Year theme?
"—When are you and Kiana finally getting married?"
"puff!!!!"
Upon hearing Cecilia's blunt remark, Gu Yu immediately spat out the bowl of congee he had just put into his mouth onto the nearby ground.
"Wait, why did the topic turn out like this?!"
Seeing the strange expressions on their faces, Gu Yu felt like she had a bad feeling stuck in her throat.
"What, you don't want to?"
Cecilia was slightly taken aback by Gu Yu's expression.
"That's not what I meant... Oh, right! Auntie, I'm from China! People in China can only get married at 22! I just turned nineteen two months ago!"
"So, you personally don't object?"
After hearing Gu Yu's explanation, Kiana suddenly moved slightly closer to Gu Yu.
"Big brother, titles and certificates don't matter."
"If you're willing..."
Oh my god, how did things turn out like this?!
When it comes to the idea of getting close to a pretty girl, Gu Yu feels that it would be pretentious for her to object.
Who knows, the people reading outside are probably starting to call him impotent now.
The problem is, his body simply can't withstand any more strain.
At this moment, all he wanted was to focus on recovering from his injuries; he didn't want to think about anything else!
Is it really that hard to slack off?
I'm so cold and shivering! Can this world ever get any better?!
"Alright, Kiana, don't be like that. Girls should be more reserved. Look how scared you've made Xiaoyu."
Seemingly sensing Gu Yu's inner resistance, Cecilia pulled Kiana back.
Then, she looked at Gu Yu with utmost gentleness.
"Auntie knows that I can't stay in this state for long. So you two still need to rely on and support each other in the meantime."
"If you really don't dislike Kiana, I think this engagement shouldn't do you any harm, right?"
"However, in any case, Auntie hopes that you can take good care of this child in the days to come."
"This is also Auntie's request—Auntie, can I ask you for help with this?"

The Hunting Journey Begins in Arknights
The fake hunter, with his delicate cane and weak pistol, could only move cautiously and stealthily when facing large beasts.
A true hunter wields an explosive hammer that smashes skulls, a chainsaw that crushes flesh and bone, a cannon that blasts through everything, and a Gatling gun that has evolved with the times. His firepower is unmatched, crushing everything in his path.
Hunter, who transmigrates to Bloodborne and becomes a member of the Powder Keg Gang, is told that to resolve the Night of the Hunt and return home, he must first go to other worlds to break the blockade of Yharnam.
"Damn it, let's go! Men should do men..."
Grab a Gatling gun and a blasting hammer, and light a cigar.
"...The things that need to be done!"

Chapter 244. The Midnight Bell
Faced with Cecilia's almost pleading words, what could Gu Yu say?
This Valkyrie was raised as a weapon from birth.
He finally found true love, but after only a few years of good times, he was forced back to the most dangerous battlefield.
After finally defeating the enemy, he lost his life trying to clean up his boss's mess.
Then her eldest brother persecuted her family, and her husband failed to fulfill his responsibilities as a father at a crucial moment.
This woman's life, from birth to death, was filled with tragedy. Faced with such a tragic hero, Gu Yu could not think of any reason to refuse her.
"No problem, leave it to me!"
"but!"
Seeing the glint in Kiana's eyes, Gu Yu added a sentence.
"I really have amnesia, so can I start building feelings from scratch?"
"Let's really put this engagement on hold—Kiana, don't immediately look like you've been dumped by a jerk!"
Looking at the expression on her daughter's face, Cecilia sighed softly.
In her view, Siegfried's actions after her death already amounted to a debt he owed to the boy.
However, now, after that incident, the other party not only didn't care about such things, but also helped the mother and daughter so much in the days that followed.
After feeling a sharp pain in her head, Cecilia forced a smile and said to Kiana.
"Kiana, don't make things difficult for Xiaoyu."
“He has already helped our family enough. Our family owes them far too much. So, don’t force him, understand?”
"Okay, I understand."
Kiana, having dropped her expression, looked longingly at her mother.
Cecilia may think she's disguised herself well, but Kiana is no longer the two-year-old girl she once was.
Judging from the slight wavering in Cecilia's expression and the slight trembling in her body, Kiana knew very well that her mother had not yet completely returned to life.
"Alright, Auntie. Your body hasn't fully recovered yet, go back and rest first."
Seeing the faint light emanating from Cecilia, Gu Yu immediately drew out the Control Card and returned Cecilia to the Stigmata Space.
Although the demonic serpent possesses the ability to travel between the realms of Yin and Yang and to revive the dead, this resurrection is not complete.
Cecilia is currently in the same condition as the Cangxuan and Danzhu sisters, and is unable to move around on the outside for extended periods of time.
