Chapter 1954: Let's Make Things Right

Lu Zhenzhen choked, “I realized it was you after eating the candies you peeled for me. I hugged you and called you Brother Ah Zhe many times. You borrowed a family, carried me to take a bath, and I asked you to buy me lots of little dresses and candies. I also asked you never to leave me again because I don’t want to eat the hard bread from the orphanage anymore…”

Gao Zhe’s heart hurt, painfully.

His eyes reddened.

Actually, after he found her, she rushed over to hug him, and without thinking, Gao Zhe held her tightly. It wasn’t just the candies and little dresses he remembered; she told him about two other girls and begged him to save them.

He took Chu Yao and Nan Jiaojiao away together.

But after bathing at the farmhouse, Chu Yao asked Gao Zhe to find an adult to send her back so she could confront those bad kids. At the time, he was only focused on Lu Zhenzhen, had no mind for others, never thinking that after that day, Chu Yao would never return. In order to make Lu Zhenzhen happy, he proposed to take Chu Yao away, but she refused. Not long after, she was adopted by the Mo Family.

As for Nan Jiaojiao, she came with them, but got lost on the way, and no matter how hard he searched, he couldn’t find her.

He always felt guilty about this, thinking he failed to protect Lu Zhenzhen’s friends, so when he met Nan Jiaojiao years later, he always treated her like a sister.

“I think I’m very spoiled. Maybe no one will ever spoil me like that again…”

Lu Zhenzhen lowered her head slowly, asking seriously, “Gao Zhe, will you cheat in the future?”

He couldn’t help but laugh-cry, “I’ve never cheated.”

“Will you still spoil me?”

“When did I ever stop spoiling you?”

Lu Zhenzhen paddled the water, her feet emerging beneath, “Come sit over here.”

Gao Zhe felt surprisingly honored, and quickly sat next to her. His shirt soaked, he worried it would wet her, so he simply took off his shirt.

She chuckled, “I haven’t even done anything, and you’re already taking it off?”

“Whether I take it off early or late, it’s the same,” Gao Zhe lifted one of her legs, wrapping it with his shirt, meticulously wiping every water droplet clean, “But now, I’m properly taking it off.”

Lu Zhenzhen stifled a laugh, she pulled Gao Zhe’s hand over, his palm had slight calluses, fingertips wrinkled from being submerged too long.

She traced the lines on his fingers slowly.

“Let’s reconcile.”

Without warning, Gao Zhe blurted before she spoke.

Lu Zhenzhen looked up, stared at him unwaveringly.

“I didn’t dare to say it before, afraid you’d hit me, now I’m scared if I say it too late, you’ll beat me.”

Lu Zhenzhen’s expression dropped immediately.

She was trying to play romantic, yet he talked reality, how come her temperament seemed all bad when it’s from his mouth!

“Hmph!”

Lu Zhenzhen stopped playing with his hand, pushed him away, he clung back, overstepping to embrace her, “Baby, reconciliation is a man’s duty to propose. I raised you spoiled, I know everything you want to say, but I won’t give you the chance. I’ve lost you once, I’ll never lose you again. Spoiling you all these years, you’re more important than my life, I can’t stand days without you. Let’s reconcile, let’s live well together, okay?”

Lu Zhenzhen turned her head aside, sniffled, unable to hold back tears, two of the most dramatic ones fell.

Gao Zhe cupped her face back, only for her to realize he had secretly closed the distance to be so near, so close that as their eyelashes fluttered they could tangle, noses touching, he raised her face slightly more, butterfly-light contact on her lips.
