Chapter 1200: From Now On, I Will Protect You

Gu Jin doesn’t know what world this is, nor does she know if any of this really exists.

However, upon truly hearing that An Mingji has no memory of her, her heart is still very sad.

Unwilling to let go, Gu Jin asks again: "Do you recognize a girl named Gu Jin?"

An Mingji again shakes his head; in all his memories, there isn’t anyone named Gu Jin.

Gu Jin holds a faint, bitter smile at the corner of her mouth, her voice gentle: "It’s okay, just remember now, my name is Gu Jin. I will protect you from now on, and not let anyone bully you again."

An Mingji’s pitch-black eyes stare unwaveringly at her, his gaze calm and indifferent.

Who knows what he’s really thinking in his heart.

Gu Jin stands up and pats his head: "I’ll be back, if you’re tired, you can sleep first."

She doesn’t leave right away, instead heading to the bathroom, taking out a plastic bucket, placing it on the floor by the bed.

"If you want convenience, you can use this."

An Mingji nods lightly, without a trace of embarrassment on his face.

These past few years of hardship have long made him forget what shame is.

No matter how unbearable, no matter how disgraceful, no matter how much humiliation, he’s been through it.

For the sake of not being embarrassed, a plastic bucket is nothing to him.

Yet Gu Jin’s face changes.

The An Mingji she encountered after reincarnation had his own pride; he would never let her do such things.

If she dared to do it, that brat would definitely stir up trouble with her.

Not the kind of cold quarrel, but any means to make her embarrassed once.

But the current An Mingji, though thin and weak, seems to have built a fortress around himself.

It seems like nothing can move him; his heart is as solid as steel.

Staring at An Mingji on the bed with eyes slowly closing, Gu Jin sighs gently and leaves the room.

Outside the room, in the living room.

Qiu Qianghai is bending over with an old man, staring at the ginseng on the coffee table.

Old Chen, holding a magnifying glass, exclaims: "Goodness! Look at the roots of this ginseng, it’s absolutely the largest I’ve ever seen!"

As he speaks, he wiggles his hips and looks from another angle.

"The branches are so dense, it’s so much like a person’s head, hands, feet, limbs, it’s practically a ginseng doll!"

Qiu Qianghai is getting anxious: "Old Chen, just tell me, is it real or not!"

He’s only partly informed about ginseng and can’t be sure if the thousand-year-old ginseng in front of him is truly a treasure.

If it is, he’ll spare no expense to buy it.

If not, thinking of the beauty’s face, he finds it hard to act. He needs to think carefully about how to deal with the person deceiving him.

Old Chen stands straight, suddenly pounding Qiu Qianghai with his hand.

"I’ve said so much, and nothing’s stuck in your head?!"

"I’m listening, aren’t I!"

Qiu Qianghai complains, retreats two steps, and touches his back: "Your hand is way too strong, my back must be red!"

Old Chen chuckles: "You’re just begging for it. Encountering such a fine thing, yet you, a total greenhorn, stumble upon it, isn’t it infuriating?"

With this said, Qiu Qianghai’s eyes immediately light up.

"Is it for real?!"

"Nonsense!"

Old Chen rolls his eyes at him, bends again to continue studying the rare and precious ginseng with a magnifying glass.

As Qiu Qianghai foolishly grins, he sees Gu Jin coming out of the room and his face changes involuntarily.
