The girl, filled with curiosity, asked with sparkling eyes, burning with the flames of gossip.
"And what about you, Donglin Brother? Isn't your wife with you?"
Chu Donglin shook his head and said, "Xing'er has something to attend to and isn't by my side for now. I came back to Wangcheng mainly to see my parents."
He then looked at the girl in front of him. "Have your parents left the base? Where did they go? Are they safe?"
"Of course they're safe! They went with the military... If they weren't safe, then there wouldn't be a safe place in this world."
The girl said cheerfully, "Donglin Brother, you didn't expect this, did you? Although Uncle isn't a superpower user, he managed to secure a civilian position in the military. So when the troops were deployed, he took Auntie along to Jiang Hai."
"Jiang Hai?"
The mention of this place made Chu Donglin pause for a moment, feeling somewhat confused. "What are they going to Jiang Hai for?"
"Donglin Brother, didn't you hear when you came to the base? The military over at Jiang Hai issued a call-up order, mobilizing all troops nationwide for support. I heard there's some super terrifying monster that’s hard to deal with and they need everyone to work together..."
Hearing her response, Chu Donglin let out a sigh of disappointment. "If I had known earlier, I would have gone straight to Jiang Hai to wait for them."
"Hehe... It’s not a waste for you to come to Qianzhou; at least you met me!"
The girl said with a grin, "Don't underestimate me; I'm quite popular here in Qianzhou. Just by meeting me, Donglin Brother, you've already hit the jackpot. You won't find any girls as cute as me waiting for you in Jiang Hai."
Chu Donglin couldn't help but laugh.
"You’re still the same as before—always boasting about yourself."
"What do you mean boasting? I'm just stating a fact! In Qianzhou, I really am quite popular. If you don’t believe me, I can take you out right now to ask around and see who doesn’t know me."
Pouting her cheeks, she added, "Donglin Brother, if you doubt it, I’ll take you out to ask."
"Hehe... No need for that; I've already heard your name in the base. But at that time, I didn’t connect you with that revered superstar Yumo Sha; I just thought it was a coincidence that someone shared your name."
Chu Donglin smiled and said, "But don't you have a performance tonight? Why are you here now?"
The girl shrugged and replied, "Well, I can't be performing all the time. My performance ended half an hour ago. Since there was nothing to do backstage, I informed the manager and came home to rest."
Chu Donglin looked at her with a smile and said, "This is my home, isn't it? How did it become yours?"
"Hmph! Donglin Brother, you really don't know what's good for you. A super invincible beauty like me staying at your place should make you grateful beyond words."
The girl huffed, her eyes twinkling as she suddenly burst into laughter. "And this place is indeed my home in a way... so it's not nonsense."
She giggled as she stood up, walking in front of Chu Donglin with her hands behind her back.
Looking down at Chu Donglin, who was sitting in the chair, the girl cheerfully raised her left hand in front of him as if showcasing something she was proud of, her expression full of delight.
"This bracelet was given to me by your mother... You should understand what that means, right, Donglin Brother?"
Chu Donglin was taken aback, staring at the familiar bracelet on her wrist in shock. "This... has my mom already given this to you?"
Seeing his astonished expression, the girl proudly hummed and directly sat on his lap, wrapping her arms around his neck and happily humming.
"I am officially recognized by your mother as the daughter-in-law of the Chu Family, your fiancée. What do you think about that, Donglin Brother?"
Chu Donglin looked at the girl before him and the familiar bracelet on her wrist, unable to suppress a sigh.
"What my mom did... sigh... I already have a girlfriend in Wocheng. Why is she meddling like this?"
As he thought this, Chu Donglin instinctively reached out to move the girl sitting on his lap aside. However, just as he did so, she suddenly pushed her chest forward, causing his hand to land directly on her firm and bouncy chest.
Although the girl was dressed warmly for winter, that intoxicating sensation still came through.
Chu Donglin instinctively withdrew his hand only to see the girl blushing and covering her chest as if she hadn't been the one to push it forward.
"Donglin Brother, you're so bad... touching my chest as soon as we meet. Are you that eager?"
Chu Donglin sighed and raised his hands to indicate his innocence. "Sasha, can we stop playing around? We're adults now, not kids anymore. We can't play these kinds of games."
The girl glared at Chu Donglin, clearly displeased.
"Then what about the time you kissed me? That was my first kiss!"
"Wasn't that you who lunged at me first?"
"Nonsense! You were the one who initiated it. I remember it clearly; don't try to weasel out of this."
The girl continued to press him, "And even if I was the one who initiated the first kiss, what about the second and third times? Donglin Brother, are you just going to act like it never happened after taking everything from me?"
Chu Donglin looked helpless. "I'm sorry..."
"Do you think saying sorry will solve this?"
"But..."
"No buts!"
The girl stared intensely at Chu Donglin, their foreheads nearly touching, their eyes locked, breaths mingling in close proximity. "No matter what, Donglin Brother, you have to take responsibility! You must take responsibility! Otherwise, I won't be able to get married. You have to be responsible."
"But I really can't..."
"There is no 'can't'! You definitely can!"
She fixed her gaze on Chu Donglin and said, "As long as you want to, Donglin Brother, you can make it happen."
"But I already have a wife."
"Nonsense! If you were truly so filial, your parents would know if you had a wife. That woman isn't your wife; she's just your girlfriend, right? And you've only known her for a few months. Before that, you were single, weren't you? Because you never told your parents about having a girlfriend!"
The girl's relentless pursuit left Chu Donglin feeling somewhat helpless.
"Sasha, can you come down for a moment? Just come down so we can clear things up. What kind of situation is this?"
"Hmph... I don't believe you. I know that if I come down, Brother Donglin, you'll definitely run away. You must have awakened some incredible superpower to cross thousands of miles from Wocheng back to Wangcheng. If I don't hold onto you tightly, you'll just disappear in an instant."
"I swear, I promise, I absolutely won't run away. Can you just come down? This hugging and holding isn't appropriate."
Chu Donglin looked at the girl who was clinging tightly to his neck, burying her head in his chest like an ostrich, feeling somewhat helpless. "If others see us, it would be quite inappropriate."
"What’s inappropriate about it? I'm the daughter-in-law chosen by Auntie for the Chu Family. Isn't it normal to hug your husband at home? Who would dare to have an opinion? Who could have an opinion?"
"Sasha, please stop messing around. This game really isn't meaningful at all. I'll talk to my mother about the bracelet issue; just pretend this never happened... Can we do that? We can still be good friends."
"So, no matter what, Brother Donglin, you refuse to accept me?"
The girl suddenly lifted her head and asked seriously, "You need to think this through; this is your last chance... If you refuse, I can't predict what will happen next."
Chu Donglin forced a smile and raised his hands in surrender.
"As for the bracelet issue, I don't know what my mother is thinking. But I believe she means no harm; Sasha, please don't blame her... Of course, it's not your fault either; it's mine. It's not that you're not good enough; in fact, if I could marry a girl like you, it would be the greatest honor of my life."
"But there has to be a sequence of events in this world, right? I already have Xing'er; it's impossible for me to look for another girl. I believe you wouldn't want me to become a fickle man either, would you?"
The girl sniffled and said, "I don't mind."
She closed her eyes and leaned closer. "As long as you accept me, I don't mind how many women you have."
Chu Donglin fell silent.
"Why put yourself through this..."
He turned his head away to avoid her kiss. "In this world, no one is indispensable to anyone else; you don't need to put yourself in such a difficult position."
Unable to kiss him, the girl tightened her embrace and buried her head in his shoulder, remaining silent for a long time.
The girl's body trembled lightly, and Chu Donglin felt his shoulder dampen.
"I just need one night..."
She tightened her grip, holding onto Chu Donglin as if embracing the last warmth.
"I want you to be my companion for one night, to play with me, to stroll through the streets, to do everything a couple should do. Then I will leave and never come back to disturb you again."
She held him tightly, whispering softly, "You can't refuse."
Chu Donglin silently gazed out at the falling snow, sighed, "I am not refusing."
His hand lifted.
In the dim light of the room, a thin line of crimson could be seen traveling from his wrist along the vein toward his palm, finally disappearing at the tip of his middle finger.
Only he understood the meaning of this bloodline's appearance.
"But you must promise me not to leave my sight... Tonight, this place is not safe." (To be continued...)
