Quick Wear: After Saving the Cannon Fodder, I Became a God

No, screw him! I must confess my feelings to Gu Qian!

What the hell was I thinking before...

It would have been better if you confessed earlier, instead of making things so troublesome now.

Jian Zhiyi cursed himself inwardly, then took a deep breath and calmed himself down.

He looked at his cousin, smiled gently, and said, "Uncle, my family also started from scratch and lived a hard life."

"Besides, my family also knows Qianqian. My parents always praise Qianqian for being very capable and smart, and often ask me to bring Qianqian home to play."

"It's just that I'm busy with work and Qianqian's schoolwork is very heavy, so there has never been a chance."

After hearing what Jian Zhiyi said, the uncle felt a little relieved. He nodded and said, "That's good, that's good. Zhiyi, you are a good child."

"Qianqian had a hard time before, but now she is fine and has passed the exam."

"The future is bright! Right, Zhiyi."

Jian Zhiyi smiled and replied, "Yes, uncle. Qianqian will be better in the future."

After saying that, he looked at Gu Qian again, with a hint of imperceptible tenderness in his eyes.

At this time, Gu Qian was lowering his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

"By the way, Zhiyi, why don't you live at your cousin's house so you don't have to run back and forth all the time."

"The countryside is beautiful, and the air is good."

"This..." After hearing this, Jian Zhiyi looked at Gu Qian hesitantly, feeling a little conflicted.

On the one hand, he was worried that going to his cousin's house would cause trouble for his cousin.

More importantly, if he went to live with his cousin, the relationship between them might cause discussion among other villagers.

He himself didn't care about these, but he was worried that it would have a negative impact on Gu Qian. After all, she was the one who lived there for a long time.

"Uncle, I'd better live in the county town. I'm afraid it will affect Qianqian."

As soon as he finished speaking, his uncle and Gu Qian immediately understood his concerns.

The uncle thought that what Jian Zhiyi said did make sense, and he had considered it very carefully.

Although it would not affect Qianqian's reputation, it was not good to have people asking about it all the time, so she stopped persuading her.

Gu Qian, on the other hand, acted very calmly and didn't care what others thought.

Besides, they are just friends, and I am not staying at her house, but at my cousin's house, so I am not overstepping the boundaries.

"Qianqian, take Zhiyi out for a walk. I'll go buy some things so I won't be a third wheel for you guys."

My uncle said this jokingly, then turned and walked away.

"Okay, call me when you're going back." Gu Qian felt a little embarrassed after being teased by his cousin.

The two watched their uncle leave, and then Gu Qian took Jian Zhiyi and walked in another direction.

When the two of them walked some distance away, Jian Zhiyi could no longer suppress his inner impulse and grabbed Gu Qian.

His eyes were filled with regret and self-blame, "Qianqian, I just realized how stupid and self-righteous my previous actions were."

Gu Qian was confused by the sudden action and looked at Jian Zhiyi in confusion.

Jian Zhiyi took a deep breath and continued, "Qianqian, I really regret it. I shouldn't have said such stupid things to you like 'It's not the right time, take your time.'"

As he spoke, he gently patted his head, as if this could alleviate some of the regret.

"I find that everything I do is not legitimate. I can't openly let everyone know that I am your boyfriend."

"I don't have a legitimate reason to tell my uncle that I will treat you well, and tell him that my family will also love you."

There was a hint of bitterness in his voice: "Not to mention doing things that only your boyfriend can do for you..."

"Qianqian, I regret it."

"Qianqian, I like you. From the moment I met you, you have occupied a special place in my heart."

"Now that this position is getting bigger and bigger, I long to be by your side, to protect you and take care of you."

"Qianqian, are you willing to be my girlfriend?"

His eyes were sincere and warm, as if burning with a flame, looking forward to Gu Qian's response.

Gu Qian listened to Jian Zhiyi's confession, feeling shocked, touched and confused.

She never expected that just spending a short time with her cousin could stimulate him so strongly that he would choose to confess his love without hesitation.

Originally, she thought she would have to wait longer.

However, looking back on the past, Jian Zhiyi was very caring towards her. Except for not being overly intimate, his care for her was almost comparable to that of a boyfriend for his girlfriend.

She even felt that Jian Zhiyi's care for her went beyond the level between many couples.

She never thought that Jian Zhiyi had such deep emotions and so many delicate thoughts hidden in his heart.

Jian Zhiyi stared at Gu Qian, only to see her keeping her head down and remaining silent. He couldn't help but feel more and more uneasy.

However, although she was a little dissatisfied with Jian Zhiyi's previous somewhat slow behavior, Gu Qian really liked him very much deep in her heart.

"Jian Zhiyi, in my heart, I thought we had always been tacitly connected."

Gu Qian raised her head slightly, stared at Jian Zhiyi firmly, and said slowly: "Last time, I thought you were going to confess your love, and I was ready to agree."

"But you told me to 'take it slow'. If I hadn't truly felt your love for me, I would have thought you were playing with my feelings."

Speaking of this, Gu Qian couldn't help but smile.

"So, Jian Zhiyi, I am willing to promise you..."

When Jian Zhiyi heard this, his eyes lit up. He took a step forward and held Gu Qian's hand tightly.

"Really? Qianqian, I'm so happy!"

Gu Qian raised her head, looked into Jian Zhiyi's eyes, smiled and nodded.

“I have been waiting for this day for a long time.”

Jian Zhiyi excitedly hugged Gu Qian in his arms, and Gu Qian gently hugged him back.

After they separated they held hands and wandered around, enjoying each other's company and warmth.

It was not until the cousin called and told Gu Qian that it was time to go back that the two reluctantly let go of each other's hands and prepared to part.

"So, do you want to live in your cousin's house now?" Gu Qian said jokingly.

Jian Zhiyi suddenly realized this problem.

It would indeed be much more convenient to live at my cousin's house. Otherwise, Gu Qian would have to take a nearly one-hour drive to the city every day.

He hesitated for a moment, then said very embarrassedly: "Qianqian, can you please ask my cousin if he is still willing to take me in?"

After hearing this, Gu Qian's mouth corners slightly raised and a smile flashed in his eyes.

She sensed his embarrassment and awkwardness, so she held back her laughter and replied, "Of course, I believe my cousin is willing to do that, too."

After they separated, Gu Qian immediately found her uncle and told him about Jian Zhiyi's request.
