Chapter 109

109 I discovered a secret

Gu jinghang lit up a small handful of dry gra.s.s, then placed a few pieces of firewood on top of it and pushed them into the chamber of the fire. The smell of smoke wafted through the air. He coughed lightly and waved his hand. Xiao ran, dont come behind the stove. Its a big cigarette, youre choking.

Thick smoke suddenly rose from the small stove. Song ran retreated to the side of the stove in a panic.

After a while, Gu jinghang emerged from the thick smoke. He coughed and said, Its like this when it comes to village fires.

Song ran nodded. I know. Aunt Wu has also built a small stove in the yard. She said that the rice would be more fragrant that way.

Gu Jingxing walked to the side, picked up two green vegetables, and scooped a ladle of water into the basin. He washed them and rinsed them.

Song ran followed him closely. While he was was.h.i.+ng the vegetables, she squatted by the side. Jing Xing, let me do it. This looks simple but I should do it myself and have enough food and clothing.

Gu jinghang chuckled. there are only two pots at home. If you break them, youll have to spend money to buy them.

Song ran snorted. you dont trust me at all. Hmph!

The water in the big pot was already boiling. The smell of smoke from the firewood had just disappeared, but the steam from the boiling water continued to rise.

Gu jinghang quickly took a bowl of noodles and opened the wooden pot lid. He then busied himself around the stove.

The door between the stoves was not closed. The early autumn rain blew in with a cool breeze. The light of the kerosene lamp flickered. Song ran stood by the side and looked at the man who woke up in the middle of the night to cook noodles for her. She was touched.

She walked behind him and said softly,Jing Xing, can I, ran ran, hug your waist?

Gu jinghangs hand paused and his throat tightened. Its best if you dont want to.

A mans waist should not be touched.

The girl, however, did not care about him. She wrapped her arms around his waist from behind, her chin barely touching his shoulder. Her hand went under his armpit and caressed his chest. Her voice was soft and seemed to be mixed with water vapor.Jing Xing, Oh Jing Xing, I really want to know, at that time, how did you live and how did you live in suffering.

Gu jinghang was confused and did not know what she was talking about.

Xiao ran, when did you want to know? Ill just tell you?

Song rans eyes welled up with tears. She shook her head. its nothing, Qianqian. Im just saying.

What she wanted to know was how Gu jinghang lived in her past life after she ruthlessly rejected him and forced him to marry Wen Huihui.

He loved her so much, but he had no choice but to marry Wen Huihui because of a child. How pitiful would he be?

It was said that he was diagnosed with cancer at the age of 40, and that chemotherapy and radiotherapy took up most of his life.

He saved his life for more than ten years. He was in his early fifties, but he still pa.s.sed away.

40 years old was the prime of her life. She must have been depressed in her heart, so such a healthy person would have such a serious illness.

She lovingly pressed her face against his back, gently rubbing and feeling it.

Gu jinghang put the noodles into the pot, dripped two drops of oil, and added a little salt. He turned around and looked at her carefully under the dim light.Whats wrong, Xiao ran? Is it because of the autumn rain?

Song ran seemed to have made up her mind. jinghang, in the future, after we get married, I will strive to be a good wife. I will definitely take good care of you. I will cook for you and wash your clothes for you. I will make sure that you are healthy.
