There were no more words, and no one could stop this moment. Qin Zhi Han pulled Su Ruolan into his embrace and kissed her passionately.
In a daze, Su Ruolan felt as if her soul was being scorched by him. This was truly a special kiss, igniting the hidden passion within her. He was undoubtedly a man of contradictions—appearing gentle and refined on the surface, yet inherently domineering and strong-willed. The youthful energy he exuded, combined with the maturity of a man not yet in his middle age, radiated through his firm muscles and vibrant vitality, reaching into her soul with that kiss. At that moment, she suddenly felt like crying. It was then that she understood love. Love comes in many forms: the affection born from admiration, the bond shared between kindred spirits, and the love that arises from care and compassion. In this world, some choose to be a dodder flower, some choose to be a kapok tree, while others choose to be the proud red plum that defies frost and snow. Although one's own personality is important, the choice of partner significantly determines the direction of one's life.
Life is never a journey one can complete alone; the people encountered and experiences lived will inevitably serve as guiding markers along the way. But regardless of hardships faced, at least there is you by my side—not to replace me but to give me enough strength to walk my own path, to act as a green island shielding me from danger, and to be a bright light illuminating my way.
Qin Zhi Han sensed Su Ruolan's emotional investment and felt exhilarated; he believed she had truly accepted him completely. Yet he knew he had to exercise restraint. Suddenly stopping under such circumstances would be painful, but as a man, he had to do it. He held Su Ruolan tightly in his arms, breathing heavily.
Su Ruolan opened her eyes in a daze and looked at Qin Zhi Han's helpless expression. Feeling something beneath her, she instinctively froze in place, her face flushing a charming pink.
"Ruo Lan, you deserve the best. I want to marry you and give you the perfect wedding night," Qin Zhi Han said calmly.
"What? Are you proposing?" Su Ruolan snapped back to reality, stunned by this major revelation.
"Of course! Any relationship that doesn't aim for marriage is just playing around. I want our feelings to be completed in front of our family and friends. Do you have family?" Qin Zhi Han asked eagerly. "No matter if this world becomes worse or better, I want to spend my life with you—experiencing hardships together, gazing at the stars together, hand in hand raising a bunch of little ones."
"My family sacrificed themselves during the great purge. But this body still has an older brother named Shu Ruo Lan. I must find him. And there's someone else I need to find too," Su Ruolan said as she looked at Qin Zhi Han. "But I can't be sure about that person right now; he is someone who has done me a favor."
"Alright, I'll help you with these things," Qin Zhi Han said as he intertwined his fingers with Su Ruolan's, leaning against each other. At that moment, the beautiful scene was truly moving.
Where could Shu Ruo Lan be? Could you be the person I'm looking for? Su Ruolan thought quietly. I'm sorry; whether you are or not, I can no longer repay your deep affection—I have someone I care for now. Although you did so much for me in my past life, I will find another way to make it up to you. In this lifetime, I absolutely will not use my feelings as bargaining chips.
I need to hurry back and find Uncle; I should say more good things in front of him so that I'll have help in the future.
