Chapter 1058 - 1054: Learning the Truth (Part 3)
"I’m just... a little scared.""Don’t be afraid." Chi Cheng’s voice was as gentle as a breeze, "It will get better, trust me."
An Ran held Chi Cheng’s hand more tightly, words of gratitude almost slipping out.
"You want to thank me again, don’t you?" Chi Cheng looked down at the girl in his arms, "I’ve told you, don’t say thank you, I prefer you to say——"
Chi Cheng paused his voice.
His thin lips pressed against her ear, "I love you."
It was unclear if he did it intentionally or unintentionally.
Clearly a single sentence, yet he divided it like this.
An Ran looked at him in amazement, her heart pounding.
Chi Cheng: "Try saying it once."
"I..." An Ran lowered her head, "I love, love..."
She still couldn’t say it.
Too embarrassed to say it out loud.
Like you, and I love you.
Both are three words, but the weight is completely different...
"You little fool." Chi Cheng rubbed her little head again, "You can slowly get used to these three words."
Sooner or later, you will have the courage to say it.
He has the patience to wait.
This meal, with a table full of dishes, ended with An Ran tasting a bite of each dish.
An Ran turned her head to look at that table of dishes, worried, "Isn’t it a bit wasteful..."
"As long as you like it, even just a bite is worth it."
An Ran softly said, "Next time, let’s order a little less."
Chi Cheng held her hand, "Okay.
Everything, I’ll listen to Ranran."
In the following days, with her brother’s companionship, and comfort from Xiyan and Ruge.
An Ran gradually eased out of her low mood.
After finishing her tutoring class and visiting her mother, it was almost evening when An Ran finally left the hospital.
"Brother, do you believe in gods in this world?"
Chi Cheng understood An Ran so well.
She only said this one sentence, yet Chi Cheng had already guessed the girl’s thoughts.
He glanced sideways at An Ran, then withdrew his gaze and steadily controlled the steering wheel, "I do believe."
An Ran’s eyes immediately gathered some light, "Really?"
"Yes."
Great, her brother believes too.
Then she must sincerely pray, hoping that all the gods can bless her mother to recover soon.
The car drove forward along the highway.
An Ran realized the route was wrong, turned her head to look at Chi Cheng, "Where are we going?"
"To the place you want to go to the most right now."
Uh...?
The place she wants to go to the most?
An hour later, Chi Cheng stopped the car, "We’re here."
He opened the car door and got out, the sunset casting long shadows of people.
Not far away, there was a temple.
Step by step, walking up the steps, occasionally stopping to look into the distance, she noticed a familiar, big camphor tree.
Her gaze continued to extend, and there was the sea.
This is... the seaside town her brother brought her to before.
"Brother, why did you bring me here?"
"To pray for blessings."
"Pray for blessings...?"
"This temple is very effective." Chi Cheng’s handsome eyes looked ahead, the breeze blowing the strands of hair on his forehead.
An Ran also looked at the sign and read it out loud, "Jing’an Temple."
As they walked into the temple, the first thing they saw was a very large tree.
Hanging from it were many red strings and bamboo sticks.
Chi Cheng stood there with his hands in his pockets, "Write your wish down, hang it on this sacred tree, and the higher it’s hung, the more likely it is to come true."
