Saving the male protagonist in the dungeon only resulted in him becoming cannon fodder.

At this moment, Lu Ze was suddenly called upon. He casually walked over to get some water, replying nonchalantly, "Yes, Ji Feng is right." Then he turned and left, as if everything was perfectly natural. However, Bai Mengmeng noticed his effortless actions and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Do you do this often?"

Lu Ze smiled awkwardly and explained, "At such a crucial moment, someone always needs to smooth things over so we can quickly move past this sensitive topic. Besides, given Liu Lin's personality, she won't question me about it afterward. Rather than waiting for things to escalate beyond control, it's better to resolve this problem now."

After listening, Bai Mengmeng felt that what he said made sense, so she stopped asking questions.

Ji Feng looked at Liu Lin earnestly, his eyes filled with determination: "I will take responsibility for you, without a doubt. At the same time, I will handle my own affairs well and won't let them affect our relationship. So, please trust me."

Liu Lin nodded slightly, indicating her understanding and trust. She knew Ji Feng was a responsible person, and since he had made a promise, he would do his best to fulfill it. At this moment, Ji Feng also secretly resolved to resolve his problems as soon as possible and give Liu Lin an explanation.

Seeing the two reconcile, Bai Mengmeng and Lu Ze breathed a sigh of relief. They walked over, and Bai Mengmeng smiled at Liu Lin, saying, "Don't hide it from us next time! If you have any difficulties, let's work together to find a solution!"

Liu Lin looked at them gratefully, her heart filled with emotion. For so long, she had been bearing the pressure alone, and now she had finally found someone to lean on. She nodded and replied, "Thank you, I won't do it again."

At this moment, Liu Lin felt exceptionally relaxed. She had been suffering from insomnia due to worry and anxiety, but now she could finally sleep peacefully. She believed that as long as they supported each other, they would be able to overcome all difficulties.

Ji Feng held Liu Lin's hand tightly, his eyes shining with tenderness. He whispered, "Don't worry, everything will be alright." In this warm moment, their hearts drew closer, as if they could feel each other's heartbeats. The road ahead might still have its ups and downs, but they firmly believed that as long as they walked hand in hand, they could create their own happiness.

The misunderstanding was finally cleared up. Ji Feng took Liu Lin home and then rushed back to Bai Mengmeng's home.

As soon as he entered, Lu Ze couldn't help but complain, "What are you doing here in the middle of the night?" Ji Feng rubbed his hands sheepishly and explained, "I was worried that Liu Lin's father wouldn't agree!"

Bai Mengmeng pouted and said, "You should worry about your own family first! Liu Lin's father isn't an unreasonable person." Ji Feng nodded repeatedly in agreement, but he was still somewhat uneasy. He knew his mother's temper well; if he couldn't get her approval and support, this matter probably wouldn't be resolved so easily.

Seeing Ji Feng's absent-minded appearance, Bai Mengmeng felt even more dissatisfied and couldn't help but complain again: "Look at you, you have no sincerity at all, and you still expect them to marry their daughter to you? If your mother comes to the door to cause trouble every few days, the Liu family isn't unable to support a grandson!"

Lu Ze noticed that Bai Mengmeng was a little overwhelmed with emotion, and quickly advised, "Mengmeng, don't be anxious, let Ji Feng explain slowly." Ji Feng lowered his head in shame and said softly, "It is true that I hadn't done enough to persuade my mother before I rashly made some promises to Liu Lin."

Lu Ze sighed and shook his head helplessly, "His mother has such a temper, she explodes at the slightest provocation, what are we going to do?" Ji Feng suddenly remembered the news he had seen today and asked, "By the way, what did Uncle Bai say?" Lu Ze scratched his head and replied, "He just asked when we're getting married, and about having children..." Hearing this, Ji Feng couldn't help but feel envious. He wished he could receive the same blessings and support from his family as Lu Ze.

Ji Feng returned home heavy-hearted, pondering how to handle the current situation. If he gave in to his mother, Liu Lin's future would become extremely difficult, and Liu Lin was sensitive and easily disturbed by any careless words. Especially considering that Liu Lin was now pregnant, Ji Feng was even more determined not to let anything go wrong. Therefore, he decided to contact his mother and ask her for a meeting place.

When Ji's mother saw her son standing in front of her, she was overjoyed. She had been looking forward to seeing her son, but Ji Feng did not respond to his mother's enthusiasm. He went straight into the room and calmly asked, "Why did you go to see Liu Lin?" Ji's mother thought that her son had come to settle scores with her, so she explained, "I didn't say anything too offensive. I just told her that she should have better opportunities, so I wanted to take you away from here."

However, Ji Feng told his mother that Liu Lin was pregnant. Upon hearing this news, Ji's mother turned deathly pale. Her lips trembled as she said incredulously, "What did you say? Liu Lin is pregnant? How can this be…"

Seeing his mother's shocked expression, Ji Feng felt a hint of helplessness in his eyes. He took a deep breath and slowly said, "Yes, Mom, Liu Lin is pregnant, and the child is mine."

Mrs. Ji swayed, nearly falling to the ground. Her eyes widened, tears welling up, her voice trembling with sobs: "She's pregnant! Look what you've done!" She pointed at Ji Feng, trembling with rage.

Ji Feng silently endured his mother's scolding and beatings, knowing it was all his fault. He straightened up and said firmly, "Mom, I will take responsibility for Liu Lin. I will marry her. Please don't bother her anymore, and don't disturb her life."

After saying this, Ji Feng turned to leave the room. He stopped at the door, glanced back at his mother whose face was streaked with tears, and then, with a heavy slam of the door, the room fell into a deathly silence. Ji's mother sat blankly on the edge of the bed, tears streaming down her face; she couldn't accept this reality. Ji Feng, meanwhile, walked out of the house alone, his heart filled with conflict and pain.

Ji Feng stood quietly by the lake, a gentle breeze caressing his face, but his gaze never left the distant horizon. His eyes seemed to hold countless questions and confusions, plunging him into deep thought.

He couldn't help but recall those scenes that had once filled him with envy—other people's families always seemed to live in harmony, with no apparent conflicts or arguments between them. Whenever he saw such scenes, Ji Feng would silently ask himself, "Why can't I be like them?"
