Gu Chen was afraid of squishing Ji Pianran, so he kept his body sideways.
Ji Pianran was also extremely nervous. After all these years, they had always slept in separate beds.
Now they were suddenly sleeping together, so it would be false to say that she wasn't nervous.
She was shy and nervous, and didn't even have the courage to look at Gu Chen for even a second.
Her head was always facing Tiantian.
She was trying to relieve the embarrassment in her heart in this way.
To be honest, Gu Chen was a little embarrassed, just like her.
After all, this was the first time in so long that he had shared a bed with his daughter-in-law!
An hour passed, and neither of them moved.
Gu Chen's shoulders were a little sore.
He thought that Ji Pianran had fallen asleep, and couldn't help but gently roll over.
This turn of the body brought his gaze right onto Ji Pianran's back.
There was no denying that even her back was so beautiful.
Her black hair was scattered like ink jade.
The slender lines of her back were extremely graceful, and just looking at them made one feel a strong desire to protect her.
Her arms were completely exposed in the air.
Her skin was white and tender.
Gu Chen couldn't help but swallow.
Looking at her slender and beautiful back, he couldn't help but feel a mixture of emotions.
Memories from his previous life kept coming back.
In the beginning, she married him when he had nothing.
She just liked him and wanted to spend her life with him.
Later, my mother bought a house for them.
They had a simple wedding, which was really just a casual meal with two tables of people.
Because the family was really poor, Ji Pianran didn't even have a wedding dress.
She just resolutely married herself in a big red dress.
After marriage, she gave birth to and raised children on her own.
No matter how hard life was, she never complained.
When she was pregnant, she still went to the fields every day before dawn with a hoe.
She hoped to earn more money to help with the household expenses.
But at that time, I really was ignorant.
I actually felt deep down that she was doing it for her own sake, and it was a disguised way of criticizing me for being unpromising.
Forcing a woman to work to support the family.
So, he never treated her nicely.
His heart ached.
All he could think of was how good Ji Pianran had been.
Gu Chen couldn't understand why he hadn't treasured her properly in the first place.
Why had he forced a tragic end to their marriage?
In fact, it wasn't easy for the person who had wronged the other either.
Every time he felt guilty, it was like a stone weighing on his chest.
The more she did well, the more uncomfortable he felt.
Gu Chen took a deep breath, and it felt like someone had filled his chest with lead, making it hard to breathe.
Ji Pianran had also been unable to sleep, and heard Gu Chen sigh.
She couldn't help but ask softly:
'What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?'
Ji Pianran's voice was very soft, for fear of waking up Tang Tang. If you didn't listen carefully, you almost wouldn't hear it.
But Gu Chen heard it clearly.
It felt as if her heart had been squeezed gently.
Her eyes suddenly felt a little bit watery.
She was still concerned about her.
She had treated her so badly.
But this woman had not complained once.
She had always silently confronted the world with her silence and the tenderness she kept hidden deep inside.
He reached out and embraced Ji Pianran from behind.
He really owed her so much.
She had suffered so much over the years.
Feeling the warmth of Gu Chen's arms, Ji Pianran's heart instantly rose to her throat.
Her nervous voice trembled.
'Why are you...'
Before she could finish her sentence, she heard Gu Chen's voice, which was a little hoarse from fatigue.
'Pianran, I'm sorry.'
Gu Chen's tone of voice carried a hint of desolation, which was markedly different from the smiling Gu Chen of the past.
He... must be very sad.
At that moment, Ji Pianran's heart suddenly ached.
It wasn't her heart that ached, but Gu Chen's.
She swallowed, and for some reason, she didn't move.
'What's there to be sorry about? There's still a long life ahead of us, let's just take it slowly.'
Her voice seemed to carry some mysterious power, and Gu Chen's chaotic heart instantly quieted down.
Yes!
There was still a long life ahead of them, and he would take her with him, and they would walk forward together!
He would give her a grand wedding!
The two of them just held each other like this, and they don't know when they fell asleep.
It was said to be a night, but it was only a few hours.
Gu Chen was awakened by a tingling sensation. When he opened his eyes, he saw Ji Bianran's face on his arm.
The morning sun shone on her delicate, fair face.
Ji Bianran was sound asleep at the moment, her beautiful almond-shaped eyes closed, her long eyelashes like two fluttering butterflies.
Her nose was small and cute, and her mouth rosy.
Just looking at her made him want to take a bite.
But Gu Chen didn't have any urges!
Because his arm was really about to break!!!
Other people's rebirth systems give you everything from immunity to poisons to great health and elixirs.
His own system was stingy.
So far, he had only been given a plot of land, a spring, a bag of seeds, and the skill of intermediate calligraphy.
It wasn't friendly at all.
Gu Chen was afraid of waking Ji Pianran, so he moved slightly.
trying to pull his arm out.
Who knew that when he moved, Ji Pianran's long eyelashes twitched, and the next second, his eyes opened.
Looking at Gu Chen's somewhat painful expression, Ji Pianran blinked and instantly came to her senses.
Following that, she nervously asked, 'What's wrong?'
Did she catch a cold?
Or did she get a cramp?
Why is it so painful?
Do we need to go to the hospital?
She was really worried.
Gu Chen gave a wry smile and twitched his arm slightly.
'Daughter-in-law, it's numb.'
!!!
Ji Pianran's eyelids twitched, and she subconsciously lifted her head to look at Gu Chen's arm. When she realised that Gu Chen's arm was actually under her head,
her temples suddenly started throbbing, and her entire body turned red like a boiled shrimp.
Damn it!
How could she have slept with Gu Chen's arm under her head all night?
When did she put her arm there?
I didn't feel a thing!
Gu Chen pulled his arm out and shook it a few times, and the numbness gradually subsided, and he gradually regained a little bit of his senses.
He raised his arm and looked at Ji Bianran with a wicked smile, 'Want to sleep some more?'
Sorry, he's fine now!
He can continue to sleep with his arm around her!
He can sleep for three days and nights!
Ji Pianran didn't expect this person to have such a thick skin.
She was immediately made to blush by Gu Chen's teasing.
How come she didn't realise that Gu Chen was also such a smooth talker?
How many faces does this person have?
She pursed her lips, desperately suppressing the nervousness in her heart.
Then, in a pique, she said anxiously, 'You sleep on your own.'
After she said that, she wanted to get up, but she was only wearing one of Gu Chen's half-sleeves.
It was a bit inconvenient.
She didn't know what to do.
Then she heard the sweet, childish voice of her daughter.
'Daddy, Tangtang wants a good morning kiss~'
Tangtang had also fallen asleep by now. She was lying on the bed, half asleep, when she heard the two of them talking and slowly opened her eyes.
She saw that both Gu Chen and Ji Pianran were there.
She immediately revealed a sweet, innocent smile as she opened her mouth wide.
The next second, he sat up, opened his little arms and asked for a hug from his father.
What a cute and adorable little boy!
