A delicate and gentle educated youth came to the village, and the aloof and cold soldier king droppe

It was already late at night.

The weather was lovely, with a bright moon and few stars.

Su Niannian was led by the hand by Gu Nan, and they slowly walked down the mountain.

At that moment, Su Niannian felt like the happiest person in the world.

A cool, refreshing breeze was blowing, and my hand was enveloped by a large hand.

The touch of fingertips is connected to the beating of the heart.

It felt very, very comfortable.

It wasn't until Gu Nan called her that she saw a hesitant look on his face.

She thought to herself, "Is this jerk going to waver again?"

Probably not. I've already hugged and kissed him, so he definitely won't have any more thoughts about keeping his distance from me.

"What's wrong?" Su Niannian asked Gu Nan, who was walking beside her, tilting her head.

"You know my family situation. My family has a bad political background, my mother..."

“I know what you’re thinking. I can cure your aunt’s illness.”

This wasn't the first time Gu Nan had heard Su Niannian say that.

“Last time we went to the city hospital, we had a check-up, and they said it was lung cancer, in the middle to late stages.” Gu Nan said this not because he didn’t believe Su Niannian, but because he wanted to tell Su Niannian the truth about his mother’s condition.

"Traditional Chinese medicine is profound and extensive. Don't worry, I have confidence." Su Niannian patted Gu Nan's shoulder with a serious expression.

It's cute when they act like little adults.

"Yes, I believe you." Gu Nan believed everything the girl in front of him said from the bottom of his heart.

To allay Gu Nan's concerns, Su Niannian took the initiative to tell him about her family situation.

"When I was six years old, my mother was more than seven months pregnant and went to the river to wash clothes while heavily pregnant..."

It was late autumn then, and the river water was icy cold.

When evening came and her mother still hadn't returned, her father came home from get off work and, seeing that her mother wasn't home, decided to leave Su Niannian at home while he went out to look for her.

But before he could even step out the door, someone rushed to his doorstep.

When the father learned that his mother had fallen into the river and died, he collapsed to the ground, completely exhausted.

Su Niannian remembered that her father had tears in his eyes at that time, and he was in a very bad state, which did not seem to be faking it.

When Su Niannian and her father arrived at the riverbank, her mother's body had already been recovered.

His lips were pale, his whole body was stiff, and he had no warmth at all.

As Su Niannian spoke, her eyes reddened and tears slowly streamed down her face.

Gu Nan wiped away Su Niannian's tears with his hands, pulled her into his arms, and stroked her back to comfort her.

"But I can't understand why my father, who seemed to love my mother, married Tao Chunhua less than two months after her death."

Su Niannian continued speaking, her voice choked with emotion.

It turns out that after the little girl's stepmother entered the family, she pretended to be a good person in public, but at home she would beat and scold the little girl at any time.

Her father was inactive and didn't care how she was doing.

It wasn't until her stepmother gave birth to two more children that this time, the little girl was sent to the countryside in place of her brother who was not related to her by blood.

Gu Nan felt a pang of heartache upon hearing this. How much suffering and hardship had his little girl endured at home?

No wonder she didn't care about her family situation, no wonder she had that expression when she heard that she wanted to keep their relationship a secret for the time being.

He knew just how insecure his little girl was.

But he himself, because of his family background, still wanted to be with her secretly.

"We're not hiding it from anyone anymore. You can tell others anytime you want."

Gu Nan affectionately stroked Su Niannian's head; he really wasn't a suitable partner.

His little girl is so good, yet she has to go through so many bad things.

From now on, he will grant her any wish she desires.

He wants to become a better person and be her strongest support.

With this thought in mind, Gu Nan hugged Su Niannian tightly.

Su Niannian smiled contentedly as she nestled in Gu Nan's embrace.

Today's game was a real confession session; the two people, their hearts, have taken a step closer.

Afterwards, Gu Nan explained his situation to Su Niannian in detail.

"So, Ningning has been in poor health since childhood, and this can actually be improved."

"It's your older brother's leg. It's been injured for over a year. I need to assess the situation to determine if it can be treated."

"However, I hope to talk to your older brother about this after your aunt is feeling better."

“Your older brother has become somewhat withdrawn. If we don’t let him see hope, he probably won’t want to cheer up.” Su Niannian carefully explained her thoughts to Gu Nan.

Gu Nan thought it made a lot of sense, so he nodded and said, "I'll do whatever you say."

The two of them couldn't linger on the mountain any longer, mainly because it was already very late at night.

If they keep dawdling like this, it might be dawn by the time Su Niannian gets back to the educated youth settlement.

Gu Nan reluctantly escorted Su Niannian back to the educated youth settlement.

When they were almost at the educated youth settlement, Su Niannian took a water bottle out of her small cloth bag and handed it to Gu Nan.

"Drink some water and go home to sleep."

Gu Nan instinctively wanted to refuse, but looking at the young girl in front of her, she still took the water with a faint smile and drank a sip.

The sweet water felt soothing as it slid down Gu Nan's throat.

Immediately afterwards, I felt a wave of comfort wash over me, as if I were filled with energy.

"This water tastes so sweet." Gu Nan put the lid back on the kettle and handed it back to Su Niannian.

"Of course, I added sugar!" Su Niannian said with a smile, took the kettle, waved to Gu Nan, and entered the courtyard of the educated youth settlement.

When Su Niannian returned to the kang (a heated brick bed) in her room, Huang Yingying suddenly opened her eyes.

She genuinely didn't know when Su Niannian left the educated youth settlement.

However, she was certain that Su Niannian had been gone for at least three or four hours.

Huang Yingying did not fall asleep during this time.

"What a troublesome slut, but that's fine too. The more despicable you are, the less likely you are to win Gu Nan's heart," Huang Yingying thought to herself. With her back to Su Niannian, a smile played on her lips.

After Su Niannian returned to the kang (a heated brick bed), she hugged the quilt, her cheeks still slightly flushed.

He touched his lips with his index finger, where Gu Nan's warmth still seemed to linger.

She recalled Gu Nan's intense embrace and the rain of kisses that had just fallen upon her.

Su Niannian felt an unprecedented happiness.

That's it, that's what she wanted.

Soon, Su Niannian's breathing became steady.

Although she slept for a short time that night, Su Niannian felt she slept very soundly.

Gu Nan on the other side was in a similar situation. Although he only caught one rabbit that night, he found her.

That exceptionally beautiful little girl.

"Damn it! I forgot to ask who Song Zhiqing was." Gu Nan, who had just woken up, suddenly remembered.
