Ruan Qiuping also wanted to push Yu Huan away halfway.

But Yu Huanzhen was on his shoulder, gently fiddling with his fingers, with a hint of resentment in her tone: "Ruan Ruan, I thought we were in love with each other, but it turns out I was just being too sentimental."

As soon as Yu Huan said this, Ruan Qiuping felt that the defense tower was destroyed in an instant. He completely gave up resistance, closed his eyes, and let Yu Huan toss him around.

Yu Huan lightly touched Ruan Qiuping's forehead.

Ruan Qiuping opened his eyes reluctantly: "What's wrong?"

"Nothing." Yu Huan's eyes were full of stars. "It's just that I suddenly felt that this scene seemed familiar. It seems that Ruan Ruan has always tolerated me like this before."

"… Just knowing is good…"

Yu Huan closed his eyes and kissed her softly.

… Ruan Ruan really loves him.

The spirit of gods is much more vigorous than that of mortals.

Apart from the vague experience in the mortal world, this could be considered the first time that Lord Jishen, who had been innocent for more than two hundred years, had done something so impure.

And the target is Ruan Qiuping.

‌The auspicious god couldn't help but feel a little excited.

So Ruan Qiuping asked for leave the next day.

And I didn't get home until noon.

After Ruan Qiuping returned home, Ruan Shengfeng was transplanting orange trees in the vegetable garden in front of the yard. Seeing Ruan Qiuping coming back, Ruan Shengfeng shouted, "Son, where have you been? You haven't been home for a whole day! By the way, Yu Huan came to see you last night. He was covered in snow and looked very anxious. Did you see him?"

Ruan Qiuping went to help him support the orange saplings: "... I saw him. I'll wait for him in his cave. We'll meet him after he comes back."

It turned out that when he was waiting for Yu Huan in the cave, Yu Huan came running to find him as soon as he came down from the snowy mountain.

Ruan Shengfeng looked up at Ruan Qiuping, but his eyes fell on the fence behind him.

There were a lot of wild vines growing on the fence of their house, and the leaves had been drooping with yellow color for many years. But at this moment, the branches and leaves had turned a little green, and even some light yellow flowers appeared, which were small and dotted among them like stars.

Ruan Shengfeng took another look and found that even the orange sapling in Ruan Qiuping's hand looked much more energetic.

Ruan Shengfeng paused while planting the tree, looking a little strange: "Qiuping, have you been with Jishen from last night until just now?"

Ruan Qiuping: "How do you know?"

Ruan Shengfeng: "... I have a lot of blessings on me."

Ruan Qiuping blinked blankly: "It's impossible, his luck is sealed..."

Ruan Qiuping's voice stopped abruptly.

Yu Huan had just been deified, and it was not impossible that he might leak some of his blessings when he lost control.

… What’s more, he was still out of control.

Ruan Qiuping touched his nose and said, "... I have indeed been with him all the time."

Ruan Shengfeng looked thoughtful.

Originally, Nguyen Thuy Phong not only had a rich family background, but was also a general under the God of Grain. However, ever since Nguyen Thu Binh left the country, the farmland under Nguyen Thuy Phong's charge had been hit by constant natural disasters, ranging from locusts to hail and unexpected disasters.

After a while, he was fired.

Now he and Xia Fushui are both lazy gods without fixed jobs. Most of the vegetables they eat on weekdays are grown by themselves, and most of the meat they eat is hunted by themselves. They only occasionally go to the mountains to pick some spiritual stones and fruits, or go to the water to find some rare treasures and spiritual beads, and take them to the trading forest to trade and sell them, barely supplementing the family income.

Xia Fushui picked a lot of spiritual pearls in the river today, so there were a lot of new and exotic dishes on their dinner table tonight.

Everyone was eating seriously and no one was talking.

Ruan Qiuping lowered his head and ate for a while, his eyes fell on the ring finger of his left hand.

The wedding ring had been taken off, and Yu Huan said that he would put it on again at the wedding.

Ruan Qiuping recalled that Yu Huan once told him that Xia Fushui had cast a layer of deception on his ring.

Yu Huan mentioned the matter of the Lotus Pill to him this morning, saying that Xia Fushui had secretly covered for him, saying that he himself had not received the Lotus Pill, but had lied for Ruan Qiuping.

Ruan Qiuping lowered his head and poked the rice in the bowl, saying, "Mom...thank you."

Xia Fushui frowned: "Thank me for what?"

Ruan Qiuping: "It's just... the ring and the matter of the lotus pill. Thank you."

"He is my son." Xia Fushui glanced at Ruan Qiuping and said lightly, "It is only natural for me to do this."

"What kind of ring, what kind of pill?" Ruan Shengfeng looked curious.

"That ring and the Lotus Pill." Xia Fushui paused and continued, "They are both related to that mortal, the one who was said to have used the aging technique in order to grow old with him."

Ruan Qiuping nodded.

Xia Fushui glanced at his hand and said, "I heard from my father that you get along well, and I saw that you have taken off your ring."

Ruan Qiuping wanted to tell Xia Fushui directly that the "friend" in the mortal world was Ji Shen himself, so that Xia Fushui would not worry about him anymore. But now Yu Huan has not recovered his memory, if he speaks nonsense, he will be struck by lightning soon.

Ruan Qiuping hesitated for a moment and said in a more tactful way: "For the owner of the ring, it would be better to wear the ring at the wedding in heaven."

Xia Fushui was stunned for a moment.

There was a loud thunder in the sky, but it did not strike Ruan Qiuping.

Ruan Qiuping breathed a sigh of relief.

Xia Fushui then vaguely understood what Ruan Qiuping meant: "... Great, it turned out to be like this... I was originally worried that I would end up like that mortal..."

"What are you talking about?" Ruan Shengfeng and Ruan Dongdong in his arms showed the same confused expression, "Why don't I understand?"

Xia Fushui added a piece of meat to Ruan Shengfeng's bowl and said to Ruan Qiuping, "It seems that you and Jishen can get along well."

Ruan Qiuping looked up at Xia Fushui and said seriously, "Yu Huan and I are in love with each other. I like him and he likes me too. We will get along well."

Just as Ruan Shengfeng was shocked by his son's sudden confession, he suddenly saw a person standing outside the fence not far away.

The man looked at his son's back quietly, his eyes filled with strong and passionate affection.

Ruan Shengfeng's face turned red at the sight of this pair of sweethearts. He took the chopsticks from Ruan Qiuping and whispered, "Son, that person is here."

Ruan Qiuping turned around after hearing this.

The moment he saw Yu Huan, he was stunned for a moment, and shyly dodged his eyes, then said, "... Dad, Mom, I have to go out for a while."

As soon as Ruan Qiuping left, Ruan Shengfeng pulled Xia Fushui over and asked, "What's going on? What's going on? What were you talking about just now?"

Ruan Qiuping walked up to Yu Huan, took his hand and walked behind a big tree, blocking the view of Ruan Shengfeng and Xia Fushui.

Ruan Qiuping squeezed his cold hands, then brushed the snow off his shoulders and asked, "Did you go to Mangyi Snow Mountain?"

Yu Huan nodded.

"But you came back very quickly this time. Did you pick the thousand-year-old lotus?"

Yu Huan lowered his eyelids and shook his head gently: "There is bad news."

"What bad news?"

"Today, when I went to Mangyi Snow Mountain to pick thousand-year-old lotus, I met a man who caught snow foxes. He told me that two days ago, a medicine dealer accidentally got a spirit beast that was very sensitive to the smell of lotus. He took the spirit beast to pick the ripe thousand-year-old lotus in the entire snow mountain, and then boiled it into lotus pills and sold them at a low price. Because he offered a low price, many gods and immortals were greedy for the bargain and bought several pills to eat. Now the medicine fairy clinic is full of patients with bone-chilling cold and difficulty sleeping... Come to think of it, I saw another one when I bought medicine for him yesterday."

Ruan Qiuping: "What should I do? The growth cycle of the Millennium Lotus is long. I don't know how long it will take for the next batch of mature Millennium Lotus to grow... How can I recover my memory then?"

"But there is good news," said Yu Huan.

Ruan Qiuping: "What good news?"

"I went to ask Taishang Laojun, and he told me that the Lotus Pill is made by refining thousand-year-old lotus and fallen flower leaves together. Fallen flower leaves and agarwood repel each other. As long as the Lotus Pill is boiled with agarwood shavings for seven days and seven nights, the fallen flower component can be removed and the effect of the thousand-year-old lotus can be restored."

Ruan Qiuping's eyes lit up: "It just so happens that I have a useless Lotus Pill here. Just wait here for a while, I'll get it for you."

Yu Huan nodded: "Okay."

Ruan Qiuping just turned around and prepared to leave, but Yu Huan grabbed her wrist.

When Yu Huan first touched his palm, it was a little cold, but when he held it on his wrist, it quickly warmed up.

Ruan Qiuping turned to look at him: "What's wrong?"

Yu Huan looked into Ruan Qiuping's eyes, his gaze was deep, and his voice was a little hoarse: "... Ruan Ruan, I just heard someone talking."

Ruan Qiuping was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized something.

He lowered his head and lightly kicked the fallen leaves on the ground with his toes: "... I just heard something."

“… I heard Ruan Ruan say that she liked me.”

Ruan Qiuping lowered his head even lower.

"Ruan Ruan." Yu Huan pulled Ruan Qiuping into his arms with a slightly hoarse voice, "Actually, after you left, I was sitting alone in the cave, and suddenly I felt a little worried. I felt that everything was so unreal, as if it was a dream, because I had never imagined that... Ruan Ruan actually liked me."

Yu Huan buried his head in Ruan Qiuping's neck and continued, "... But I just overheard Ruan Ruan's words, and I felt that I was no longer frivolous, my feet touched the ground, and my heart was at peace."

Ruan Qiuping also reached out to hug Yu Huan and whispered, "If I knew you were listening there, I wouldn't have said that."

Yu Huan asked, "Does Ruan Ruan feel embarrassed?"

Ruan Qiuping nodded slightly: "... a little bit."

Yu Huan hugged Ruan Qiuping tighter, his voice full of hidden affection: "Fortunately, I came to see Ruan Ruan today. If I hadn't come today, I'm afraid I would never have the chance to hear Ruan Ruan say that she likes me."

"How come there is no chance?"

Ruan Qiuping pushed Yu Huan away and looked into his eyes with a firm and serious look: "We will be together for a long time."

The sun sank quietly.

The warm light and shadow sprinkled on people's faces, casting a layer of red light on their faces, as if their faces were quietly turning red.

Ruan Qiuping had a face that was glowing red in the sunset, his eyes sparkling with light, and he said, "... Yu Huan, I will like you more and more every day... Really."

After saying that, he closed his eyes, hooked his arms around Yu Huan's neck, and kissed her devoutly.

It's like giving away everything I have.
