Sir Song, do you want to pledge yourself to me?

Ji Nuan's thoughts suddenly drifted back to the beginning of the apocalypse. Back then, she hadn't yet awakened her powers and was just an ordinary doctor. When zombies broke into her clinic, she panicked like everyone else.

When there was no escape, it was Ji Ting who stood in front of her, struggling to hold the zombie back while yelling at her, "Go! Find a place to hide!"

She was able to travel here two years after the apocalypse, and she didn't know if her cousin had also arrived here before her and was living somewhere she didn't know.

She exhaled slowly and said softly, "Third brother, you are so good to me!"

Ji Chuan chuckled softly and said, "When you were little, I was the one who took you out to play and study. I raised you, so of course I treated you well."

The curtains swayed with the carriage, and the street lights occasionally shone in, reflecting on Ji Chuan's face, softening his facial features.

Ji Nuan looked up, "Thank you, Third Brother!"

Ji Chuan patted Ji Nuan's shoulder and said, "You are my sister. If I don't treat you well, who else can I treat well?"

In the flickering light, he saw the white jade hairpin on Ji Nuan's head, raised his hand and took it off, and looked at it carefully in the light coming in from the street.

Ji Chuan became suspicious and deliberately used a derogatory tone to ask, "Where did you buy this ugly thing? Why are you wearing it on your head?"

Song Jinbai: Thank you so much!

Ji Nuan didn't expect Ji Chuan to notice this hairpin, but it was better to make things clear.

She directly admitted: "Song Jinbai carved it."

In the darkness, Ji Nuan couldn't see his expression, but from his slightly unstable breathing, she guessed that his face was not looking very good.

Ji Nuan decided to continue expressing her thoughts: "Third brother, how many women in the world can be as lucky as my eldest and second sisters-in-law, marrying the right man and having parents-in-law as good as my parents?"

"Third brother, I don't want to marry blindly and pin my future on someone I don't know at all. It's also a gamble on an uncertain future. I want to choose someone who suits my heart."

At this point, Ji Nuan paused and coaxed softly, "Third brother, I only agreed to give Song Jinbai a try. If he doesn't do well in any way, I won't want him. Can you help me test him together?"

Ji Chuan was already shaken by what she said.

According to the rules of this world, a woman's marriage is decided by her parents and matchmakers, and she often has no say in her future life.

Even those women who were doted on by their families could only secretly take a peek at their future husbands when their parents were seeing them. Most women did not see their husbands for the first time until their wedding night.

If you can understand the other person's character in advance, you can make the right choice early.

"You're the only one who's so bold as to go against the grain!" Ji Chuan said, "Then I'll have to observe him carefully. If he's not someone you can trust your life to, don't be stubborn and get caught up in his ways."

"Third brother, don't worry." The original body was able to give up decisively when she realized that Meng Ran was not a good match. She believed that she also had this decisiveness.

Ji Chuan recalled the scene that happened on the top floor of Tianshangxian and reminded him worriedly, "You have to promise me to keep a proper distance from Song Jinbai and never let anyone take advantage of you. There will never be any more intimate actions like today."

"Okay." Ji Nuan agreed readily. As for whether he could do it, that depended on the specific situation.

The carriage had already stopped. Ji Chuan looked at Ji Nuan, still feeling uneasy: "If you were bullied..."

"Third brother, don't worry about it. I won't be bullied!" They were already at the doorstep, and Ji Nuan really didn't want to listen to Ji Chuan continue to agonize. "Song Jinbai is no match for me. If he dares to bully me, I will beat him to a pulp and make him unable to even get up!"

"Hahaha, good!" Ji Chuan finally felt more at ease after hearing this. As long as his younger sister wasn't bewitched by Song Jinbai, she would definitely not let him suffer any loss with her cleverness and wit.

After getting off the carriage, Ji Nuan told Ji Chuan to finish talking to her parents and then go to bed early. After all, they had been on the road all day, so it would be better to wait until tomorrow to discuss other matters.

After Ji Nuan returned to her room, she went straight to the bathroom in the space. There was no air conditioning here, and she was sticky after a day of work. She needed to take a quick shower and cool down in the space.

When Song Jinbai returned home, he was still upset and unable to calm down to handle his official business.

His third uncle was simply a stumbling block on his road to marriage. He didn't want his return to ruin all the achievements he had made through hard work for so long.

He casually pulled out a stick figure from a book. It was a sketch Ji Nuan had left behind. He was short and stocky, with a chubby face, not particularly aesthetically pleasing, but a gentleness unconsciously emanated from his features.

He hadn't had time to accept the gift Ji Nuan gave him, and he hadn't given away the gift his mother prepared for Ji Nuan either.

By the way, there are so many things left to do, and he still has to go out and find Ji Nuan.

Do it when you think of it.

Song Jinbai tidied his clothes and went out again.
