Dan Yaoning was pleasantly surprised. She quickly got up from the small stool, ran to her brother, and said, "Really!"

"Well, after all, I did take action, right?" Guangchang Chen pretended to be confident.

"I knew it, my brother would be alright." Shan Yaoning's eyes lit up, then she turned to look towards her sister's room. "Can I go check on him now...?"

"You two sisters really think too much. Not to mention now, even from the beginning, you could have gone in without any problem. Shan Yimo is not the kind of person who would blame others for something like this, especially not someone as lively as you." Guangchang Chen laughed. Even someone as naturally inclined as Shan Yimo would become preoccupied when the topic turned to family. This can hardly be considered out of character.

"Brother~" Shan Yaoning murmured sweetly.

“Your sister should be down in a little while, but the situation is not resolved. Well, I should say the situation is not resolved at all. Remembering is not necessarily a bad thing, and forgetting is not necessarily a relief. Yao Ning, your sister’s future is not in the hands of others, but more in the hands of you who live with her. With your innocent and lively personality, I believe that you can gradually influence your sister, and your sister will definitely be able to unload this psychological burden.”

I unconsciously started spouting platitudes again...

However, Shan Yaoning seemed to be quite receptive to this, clenching her fist and nodding firmly.

"Hmm, where's Nuanxin? Where did she go?" Guangchang asked at this moment.

"There." Shan Yaoning turned around and pointed. Following the direction of her finger, Guangchang Chen saw Chen Nuanxin, who was very inconspicuous, lying flat on the sofa with a blanket covering her whole body.

So heartwarming!!!

……

The song "The Flame of Youth" played twice and "Lightning Sprint" once, warming my heart, until that line:

"The gates of victory await my opening!"

Chen Nuanxin sat up abruptly, fully recharged.

He coughed lightly. "Hmph, looks like it's just a half-health resurrection."

With this good news, the atmosphere among the three improved significantly. After waiting for another ten minutes or so, Shan Yimo finally appeared in the living room carrying the white cat. What followed was the classic exchange of apologies and concern between the sisters, which sounded cheesy. Guangchang Chen and Chen Nuanxin simply sat on the sofa, closing their eyes to rest.

"Come on, take Bai Ying back."

When Guangchang opened his eyes, Shan Yimo was already in front of him and handed him the white cat.

"But... I've already told the landlord that it shouldn't be a problem even if I stay here, right?"

"No, rules are rules," Shan Yimo said calmly.

They remain steadfast rule-abiding police officers.

Guang Guangchen didn't say much more. He took Bai Ying and decided not to stay for dinner. Mission accomplished! Guang Guangchen and Chen Nuanxin were also leaving first. Shan Yimo and Shan Yaoning changed their shoes and escorted them to the street outside the apartment. There were many cars in this area, and those who didn't want to pay parking fees inside the apartment were illegally parked on the main road, which greatly obstructed their view.

"Then we'll go."

"See you at school next week~" Chen Nuanxin grinned and waved.

Guang Guangchen had already hailed a taxi, but his left-side view was completely blocked by a large vehicle, so he had no choice but to walk further to check the situation. Just then, he heard a horn and a Dayun truck sped toward Guang Guangchen!

Eh?

Not only Guang Chen, but Shan Yimo also looked up abruptly upon hearing the car horn, her eyes trembling violently.

154. The crucial answer!

With a sudden, violent stop, the Dayun car came to a halt less than 30 centimeters in front of Guang Guangchen. Guang Guangchen was completely frozen in place, as if he had been immobilized, watching the red car bounce around in front of him, terrified out of his wits.

Time seemed to stand still. Guangchang Chen hadn't recovered yet, his ears were ringing badly. Even though he had already experienced death once, now facing death again, he only felt cold sweat running down his back and his hair standing on end. Perhaps the driver leaned out of the car and said something, or perhaps he didn't. In any case, the car in front of him began to reverse, then bypassed the terrified Guangchang Chen and drove away once again.

Guangchang slowly turned his head to the left. There were three girls with blank expressions, especially... Shan Yimo. Why was she covering her mouth tightly with her hand? She looked like she was in a very bad state.

Guangchang struggled to move, and with the quick, heartwarming support of those who followed, he returned. After his right hand touched a station sign, a sense of peace slowly seeped into his veins like a small stream, reaching his heart.

That's great... Thank goodness the other driver braked in time, otherwise I would have died again, right? It would be such a waste to say goodbye to a friendship that we'd worked so hard to build. Besides, since the world's will granted me this cheat ability, it can't just send me away for no reason, can it? Wait, if this is a world where love-struck people are everywhere, why did you suddenly send a car to run me over?!

Damn it!

He cursed inwardly, and just then, Guangchang Chen caught a glimpse of Shan Yimo walking slowly towards him. Yes, he had just noticed her. Shan Yimo looked the most exaggerated of the three of them. Even now, she hadn't yet come to terms with the shock of surviving the ordeal. Her eyes were still wide open with tension as she approached step by step.

Chen Nuanxin also temporarily stopped her incessant questioning and looked at Shan Yimo as well.

She thought he would ask some caring words similar to Nuanxin, but the next second, Shan Yimo, who came in front of Guang Guangchen, raised her left hand and grabbed Guang Guangchen's right wrist. The tension she felt was quickly transmitted to Guang Guangchen, and the intensity of it was unimaginable.

Guangchang's brain worked at lightning speed, and he naturally came up with his own answer. After all, Shan Yimo's parents' death was a sudden accident, so Shan Yimo's ability to cope with such things was quite weak, no matter who the other party was.

"It's alright, I'm tough." Guangchang forced a smile, though a chill still ran down his spine. It was all thanks to his cheat system that he felt confident enough to start a second life. He couldn't just let himself be sent to his death with one blow, could he? If you want to talk about tragedy, just look at my robot girlfriend. The whole world was hit by a massive earthquake, and she sacrificed her life to save someone important. At least then, on her deathbed, she could say she had no regrets. Guangchang was actually reluctant to believe that he would be sent to his death so hastily.

"..." Shan Yimo still didn't answer, but her worry was mixed with a complex emotion, causing her gaze to move back and forth across his face. The atmosphere was becoming less like the concern between friends and more like that of a couple in love, where the joy of surviving a disaster often comes very slowly.

I hope I won't get beaten up again.

Guangchang recalled the despair of a father watching his four- or five-year-old child narrowly escape a car, and then he drew his Seven Wolves sword.

He lived, but then died.

Guangchang's mind was still reeling, and his thoughts were a bit confused. He could only feel Shan Yimo gripping his arm tightly with all her might.

Guang Guangchen considers himself a mirror. Whether someone treats him well or badly, he will give them the same feedback, regardless of rights or anything else. Just like when Jiang Xintong treated him and Nuanxin with a bad temper, the two of them once discussed whether to be honest with Jiang Xintong. If the relationship between the two of them was not good, then no matter how much money was offered, Guang Guangchen would leave resolutely.

Now, through the trembling in his arm, Guangchang quickly sensed Shan Yimo's emotions. She was even more frightened than he was. She was someone whose appearance didn't reveal her true feelings, but who was extremely soft-hearted.

Guangchang felt a warmth in his heart, which quickly spread to his limbs, and his intelligence gradually took over.

If he were to let this go so hastily, Guangchang Chen was absolutely certain that Shan Yimo would have nightmares tonight! All the purposes he had set out for today would be for naught! What he had just experienced might even cause Shan Yimo more severe psychological trauma. If you don't believe me, the next sentence is very important. He had already missed the first sentence, so what follows is crucial.

Guangchang's brain was now spinning at a peak speed, no less intense than when Wolf Brother blurted out "wheat" after his brain was working at high speed in front of the Ant King.

Think about it, think about it.

I definitely didn't come here to leave Shan Yimo with a deeper psychological shadow!

While there's still time...

Guangchang Chen then lowered his body, put on a smile, and turned to Shan Yimo, saying, "Want to give me a couple of punches?"

Huh? What am I saying?!

Shan Yimo doesn't seem to be the type to vent her anger.

Think about it again, and you'll find a sentence that is valuable enough to her.

At this crucial moment, a sentence surfaced from the deepest part of his memory. It was a drama he had watched on a friend's cloud drive years ago. The same train, the same sudden stop, and back then, the male lead said something like...

"I will not die..." Guangchang moved his lips and murmured these words.

Upon hearing this, Shan Yimo trembled violently. She looked up at Guang Chen with even greater shock in her eyes, and the glint of fear in her eyes was now tinged with tears.

Seemingly having an effect, Guangchang Chen's tone became even more resolute as he said in a deep voice, "I will not die, I promise."

The scene seemed to freeze for a very long time.

……

"What's that? A code?" Chen Nuanxin, carrying a bag of snacks she had just bought from the convenience store, took out a bottle of hot milk and handed it to her boss.

Guangchang felt much more comfortable as he held the warm milk in his hands, which made his icy limbs feel much warmer. A look of contentment appeared on his face. He took a taxi from Shan Yimo's house and the two of them had arranged to have some barbecue first. They were walking towards the subway station.

"No, it's just a line from a TV series, nothing special."

Anyway, Shan Yimo's overall condition improved considerably after hearing Guangchang's words. As for whether there would be any further problems, she would have to contact Yao Ning via WeChat to inquire.

The ending was handled terribly... Could this be considered a complete failure?

Guangchang Chen sighed. If it were set up according to the world of love-obsessed people, he would have rushed to the main road and stopped another car. That would have been very convincing to Shan Yimo. Well, it would have been the kind of story that's straight out of a romance novel. But the two of them weren't lovers. Guangchang Chen probably would never understand this kind of spirit of love being above all else.

However, he was quite confident in deducing from his own superpower that he would not die hastily, so when he said that he would not die, his tone was quite firm.

I wonder what Shan Yimo will think next, and also the intensely attentive look in her eyes when she looked at me...

Guangchang tilted his head back slightly, his thoughts drifting away, and his cheeks felt slightly warm again.

She's such a wonderful girl...

……

On the second day of the New Year, Guangchang Chen had been listening to firecrackers for two nights in a row, which made him a little neurasthenic. He couldn't even catch up on sleep during the day because his father had told him the night before that he had to go back to his rural hometown today.

Even though we moved to the city, we still have to go back for the New Year. My grandmother, who lives in the countryside, absolutely refuses to move here. She still prefers to live in her small house. Maybe that's what people call a sense of belonging or a sense of security.

For a moment, Guang Chen thought of the last time he saw Han Junche, and what Han Junche said after his hysterical outburst, that if he really took Yan Xingmeng to the countryside, the other party would despise him. Obviously, Han Junche had experienced something quite bad, and such things were also quite boring, so he did not tell Yan Xingmeng or Jiang Xintong about it. He only mentioned it briefly when Warm Heart asked him about it.

Old Sun will be returning to school in two days, and I'll have to go apologize to him then. He deserves the punishment, but Guangchang Chen still feels quite embarrassed.

Early in the morning, Guang Guangchen drove with his father to their rural hometown. Sitting in the passenger seat, Guang Guangchen yawned and chatted with different people. Yan Xingmeng had messaged him early in the morning, wanting to meet up with him again. Guang Guangchen didn't reply to Yan Xingmeng first, but instead asked about Yao Ning's situation. He learned that Shan Yimo was doing well and had even gotten up early to make breakfast. This finally put Guang Guangchen's mind at ease.

When it came time to reply to Yan Xingmeng, Guangchang Chen showed no intention of lying and simply told her that he had gone back to his rural hometown.

To Guangchang's surprise, Yan Xingmeng's next reply was...

Send me your location.

Guangchang was taken aback: "What are you going to do?"

“Of course I’m coming to find you~” Yan Xingmeng added an emoji after her reply.

She really wants to come?

Han Junche's words resurfaced: "Hmph, that's interesting."

After spending a lot of time with Yan Xingmeng, Guangchang also came to a conclusion: you have to use extraordinary methods to deal with extraordinary people. If you keep making excuses, lying, and refusing, the other party will only continue to use this matter as a handle to control you. You might as well just agree and let her experience it for herself. Maybe then she will lose interest.

"Come if you want," Guangchang finally replied, then sent his location to Yan Xingmeng.

Now that the city is well-developed, with the elevated highway, it only takes a little over an hour to reach Guangchang's rural hometown.

155. Holding my hand

There are differences between rural areas, and this place is obviously more remote. At least from the east and west turns of the road into the village, you can hardly see a single person along the way. There are old houses and a lifeless little river. When Guangchang got off the car, he felt that the world was quiet.

"Come on, get your things from the trunk, let's go see your grandma." Guang's father turned off the car and directed Guang Guangchen to get started.

The father and son quickly got out of the car and went to the trunk to load up bags of health supplements.

To enter Grandma's house, you have to climb a long staircase. The door is on the second floor. The staircase is old and worn, with moss growing on the handrail. There is an old-fashioned water pump on one side. To make it easier to draw water, an extended plastic tube is attached to the handle and secured with wire. That's physics.

Upon reaching the second floor, Guang Chen saw that the large platform extending outwards was densely packed with potted plants, and all of them were planted with... grass?

Guangchang Chen, perhaps lacking in education, asked his father, "What kind of grass are these?"

“It’s just ordinary grass by the roadside,” Guang’s father answered succinctly. He then pointed to some taller vegetation nearby and said, “And these too, whatever grows on the lawn downstairs, your grandma just plants it for fun.”

"Okay." Guangchang nodded and followed his father into the house. In the living room, he saw several even larger potted plants. Hmm... I mean, are these plants more valuable than this potted plant...?

Guang Guangchen looked around. The old-fashioned white walls, the square table filled with all sorts of things, even covered in dust, the rattan chairs, the wooden sofa, the familiar smell emanating from the kitchen, the classic speckled marble floor, until an elderly woman, less than 1.5 meters tall, with silver hair and a thin figure, walked from the bottom of the stairs, and at that moment Guang Guangchen's eyes were completely on her.

Guang's father pushed him from behind, and Guang Guangchen finally moved. He then put down what he was doing, went to his grandmother, bent down, and let her mumble some words while she kept rubbing Guang Guangchen's face with her hands, taking a good look at her grandson.

This is a special kind of care that only the older generation can offer...

……

Only two hours had passed since Yan Xingmeng arrived. It could be said that they set off shortly afterward, with Guangchang Chen going directly to the village entrance to meet her.

It was really far. He walked along the village path to the village entrance, and at the main road intersection, he saw Yan Xingmeng in the distance, wearing a white puffer jacket, gloves, and a scarf. When she saw Guangchang, she immediately smiled and waved to him.

Guang Guangchen stood still, thinking that since she had seen him, Yan Xingmeng would at least come over, saving him the trouble of walking. But to his surprise, she remained motionless. Guang Guangchen cast a questioning look at her. Well, she was too far away... his eyes couldn't reach her at all.

Never mind, I'll just take a few steps.

Guangchang Chen took another step, walked the last seventy or eighty meters, stood in front of Yan Xingmeng, glanced at her, and said, "If you see me, why don't you just walk over here?"

"That's different. How can that be considered you picking me up?" Yan Xingmeng smoothed her wind-blown hair, tucked it behind her shoulder, puffed out her cheeks, and spoke with a slightly dissatisfied tone, as if Guang Chen had made a mistake.

Yan Xingmeng had clearly dressed up. She wore light makeup, and her years of dancing and body management made her look very thin and tall even in thick puffer jackets. She was the kind of person who would make people stop and turn their heads to pay attention just by passing by, without even needing to see her face clearly.

"So, have you received it now?"

Yan Xingmeng shook her head again.

"That's not all?" Guangchang asked, puzzled.

Yan Xingmeng then raised her right hand and extended it towards Guang Yuchen: "Now you can say it's connected, hmm?"

Yan Xingmeng shook her raised right hand, and seeing that Guangchang Chen did not react immediately, she made a sound again and continued to shake it.

You really know how to do that.

"Starting like this right from the start? People will misunderstand if they see it."

"Then let it be a misunderstanding, hmm~" Yan Xingmeng repeated that voice in that coquettish tone.
