Wu Pengpeng was caught off guard when she heard He Qianshan's words. She thought she was having an auditory hallucination.
Was he proposing to her?
Seeing that Wu Pengpeng didn't respond, He Qianshan thought she thought he was joking. He composed his expression and his tone became even more serious.
"Before I met you, I never thought about spending my life with anyone. After I met you, I never thought about spending my life with anyone else."
He wanted to be with her forever. He wanted the first person he saw when he opened his eyes every morning to be her, and the last person he saw before falling asleep every night to be her.
He wanted to accompany her to watch the floating clouds and neon lights, the setting sun and morning dew, and all the things in the world, ever - evolving.
"Miss Wu," He Qianshan looked into her eyes. His eyes were extremely cautious because of his anticipation. "Let's get married!"
Wu Pengpeng saw the magnified anticipation and uneasiness in his eyes. Her heart suddenly tightened.
She knew how much He Qianshan loved her. Even across time and space, and through two lifetimes, she had always been his only choice.
How fortunate she was to be loved so deeply by him.
She tried hard to suppress the soreness in her heart and smiled as she stretched out her left hand. "I'd like to..."
The last word was interrupted by a heart - wrenching pain. The suffocating pain she had felt in the abandoned building that day came again.
Wu Pengpeng let out a scream in pain and rolled on the hospital bed.
He Qianshan was startled. He hugged Wu Pengpeng to prevent her from accidentally hurting herself while reaching for the nurse call button behind him.
Just as his hand was about to touch the button, Wu Pengpeng in his arms suddenly calmed down.
He quickly withdrew his hand to check on her. He saw that Wu Pengpeng was staring blankly at a point in the void, lost in thought. She didn't even respond when he called her twice.
Wu Pengpeng didn't expect that just by agreeing to her beloved's proposal, she almost got sent away by the Heavenly Dao.
But this time it should just be a minor warning. The pain only lasted for a few dozen seconds.
Although it was not a long time, it almost took Wu Pengpeng's life.
Wu Pengpeng angrily went into her spiritual consciousness to question the Heavenly Dao. "What are you doing again?"
The Heavenly Dao didn't even bother to show itself. Only a cold voice came. "Stopping you from being self - destructive."
Wu Pengpeng felt that she was being targeted. She retorted indignantly. "I haven't let him discover my secret, and I haven't violated the trading rules. How am I being self - destructive?"
The Heavenly Dao was probably irritated by her. It flashed in front of her with a "whoosh" and floated in mid - air, glaring at her. "Did you grow that brain just for fun?"
Before Wu Pengpeng, who was humiliated by a little kid, could retort, she heard the Heavenly Dao say in frustration. "If you agree to his proposal, it means you've established a contractual relationship by default. All his property will be included in your mission of squandering money."
This was something Wu Pengpeng hadn't expected. After thinking about it carefully, she felt something was wrong.
"What you said doesn't make sense. Since it's the joint property of husband and wife, can't I share half of my money with him?"
In this way, her mission of squandering money should be even easier.
The Heavenly Dao said impatiently. "No!"
"Why?" Did it mean that just because he was the Heavenly Dao, he could ignore the principle of fairness and equality in contract - making?
The Heavenly Dao snorted. "When you have as much power as me, then you can judge my principles of doing things!"
Wu Pengpeng obediently shut up. She almost forgot that he could read minds.
After they were silent for a while, the Heavenly Dao seemed to have calmed down. His tone softened a lot. "Stinky woman, can you stop causing trouble and just complete the task properly?"
"But I really want to marry him!" Being able to marry her beloved was her ultimate dream. She was not willing to miss this opportunity.
The Heavenly Dao exploded like a lit dynamite barrel. "Then go ahead and get married. Get married today and die tomorrow!"
Seeing that he was really angry, Wu Pengpeng quickly coaxed him. "Okay, okay. I won't get married."
Anyway, the mission would be over in a little over a year. She could get married then.
Thinking like this, she happily flashed out of the spiritual consciousness to find He Qianshan.
The Heavenly Dao looked at her carefree smile. A worried look appeared on his childish face.
According to the trading rules, he was not allowed to interfere in her mission of squandering money.
This time he had broken the rule again to remind her. I'm afraid their situation would be even more difficult by then.
Wu Pengpeng had no idea that she had just taken a wild ride on the edge of the underworld. She was completely immersed in the joy of He Qianshan's proposal.
He Qianshan carefully observed her face. Seeing that her pale face was gradually getting better and her mood seemed to be good.
But he was still a little worried. "Are you really okay?"
Wu Pengpeng stared at him in infatuation and waved her hand indifferently. "I'm fine. I'm just a little tired."
He Qianshan knew that she had been very hard - working recently. He felt a little heart - ache. He laid her on the hospital bed and covered her with the quilt. "If you're tired, just take a rest for a while."
Wu Pengpeng obediently nodded and stared at him without blinking.
Such a good - looking person would become her husband in a year. Such good luck had actually fallen on her.
Just thinking about their married life made Wu Pengpeng very happy. But then she felt a little sorry for He Qianshan.
His first proposal in his life had ended without a result.
"Sorry, I can't accept your proposal for now." She couldn't tell him the truth, so she just made up an excuse casually. "I currently want to focus on my career."
This excuse was really bad. Even she didn't really believe it when she said it.
But He Qianshan believed it. "It's okay. I'll wait for you."
Actually, He Qianshan didn't really believe her lousy excuse. He probably guessed that the proposal must have violated the trading rules between her and the god, so she had been punished just now.
Although he wanted to marry her home earlier, he wanted her to live a safe and smooth life even more.
He stroked Wu Pengpeng's head and said in a tone of coaxing a child. "Go to sleep!"
Wu Pengpeng blinked under the quilt. "I'm not sleepy."
She had taken a nap in the afternoon, so she had no sleepiness at all. She just wanted to feast her eyes on He Qianshan's handsome face.
He Qianshan proposed excitedly. "Then let's go home!"
Wu Pengpeng was a little hesitant. He had been in a coma for so long and had just woken up in the afternoon. It would be better to stay in the hospital for a few days for observation.
He Qianshan saw her worry. He smiled to comfort her. "Don't worry. I just had a full - body check. I'm okay."
Wu Pengpeng gave him a strange look. "The results haven't come out yet!"
Caught in his little trick, He Qianshan had to use his trump card. He tilted his head and pretended to be pitiful. "But I want to go home. I haven't been home for a long time. I want to eat the dishes cooked by Aunt Tang."
Wu Pengpeng couldn't resist his coquetry at all. She quickly surrendered. "Then I'll go and ask Dean Chen first. If he says it's okay, we'll be discharged from the hospital. Okay?"
He Qianshan obediently nodded. Anyway, he had already talked to Dean Chen and was sure that he could go home.
"Wait here for a while." Wu Pengpeng got up from the hospital bed. As she walked towards Dean Chen's office, she took out her phone and sent a message to Aunt Tang, asking her to cook a few more dishes for dinner.
He Qianshan finally got to go home as he wished. Dean Chen had told them that as long as he didn't overwork himself and had regular rest, there should be no big problem.
To celebrate his recovery and discharge from the hospital, Aunt Tang cooked a big table full of dishes.
After dinner, they wanted to help clean up the dishes, but Aunt Tang thought they were in the way and chased them upstairs.
Since He Qianshan had the accident, Wu Pengpeng had almost been living in the hospital. She would come back every two days to clean his room so that he could move in directly when he woke up.
"I've cleaned the room, but I'm not very good at housework. You'll have to make do with it."
He Qianshan had a slight case of mysophobia and was not used to others entering his room. He always did the cleaning himself.
Wu Pengpeng hated doing housework. She had never even cleaned her own room, but she was willing to take the trouble to clean his room.
He Qianshan felt a warmth in his heart. He casually glanced around. All the furnishings in the room remained the same as before. The floor was clean and there was no dust on the furniture. There was also a bottle of fresh flowers on the table.
She had been waiting for him to come back.
He Qianshan turned his head and saw Wu Pengpeng standing beside him, looking up at him.
Such a straightforward and passionate look made He Qianshan's heart tremble slightly. All the words that welled up in his mouth finally turned into a gentle "Thank you."
Thank you for not giving up on me. Thank you for loving me as much as I love you. Thank you for letting me meet you.
The affection in his eyes was infinitely magnified by the warm yellow light and fell into Wu Pengpeng's eyes without reservation.
They stared at each other silently for a moment. Neither of them knew who took the initiative first. Anyway, when Wu Pengpeng came to her senses, they had already kissed from the door to the bed.
Her body sank into the soft mattress. Her breathing was completely controlled by He Qianshan, and she let him take what he wanted.
It was a kiss full of lust and possessiveness, as if trying to make up for the sixty - one days they had been apart through this deep kiss.
Wu Pengpeng's brain was a little oxygen - deprived. She vaguely felt a strong big hand stroking her waist. Even through a layer of clothes, she couldn't help but shiver. Her eyelashes fluttered slightly.
He Qianshan keenly noticed her reaction and stopped his movements.
But Wu Pengpeng suddenly reached out and pressed his hand that was about to withdraw, deepening the kiss.
