Chapter 606: Growing Old Together Slowly Is Also Happiness

Rejected 99 Times, the Aloof Campus Belle Comes On Strong at Me, Jiang Muye

Boss Cutie

Leng Ruoli immediately stuck her foot out.

When Jiang Muye looked, it really was true—Leng Ruoli's little foot had been scalded pink and tender.

He clearly hadn't put that much hot water in, but he never imagined she'd still find it too hot.

"Sorry, sorry, I didn't do it on purpose. I'll add some cold water for you." Jiang Muye immediately added cold water.

Seeing him blame himself and rub her foot to comfort her, Leng Ruoli gently stroked Jiang Muye's head, her tenderness like water. "It's fine, why are you apologizing? This kind of thing is unavoidable. Maybe my tolerance for heat just isn't very good."

With Leng Ruoli's soothing, Jiang Muye's mood brightened. "Darling, you're the best."

"That's because you're good to me too." Leng Ruoli looked at Jiang Muye tenderly as he tested the water temperature with his hand, and once he confirmed it wasn't hot anymore, let her put her foot in.

He was still very attentive, taking care of every little thing.

Being attentive to a person's every need—that was what it meant to really like someone.

"What kind of man would I be if I treated my own darling badly?" Jiang Muye said casually, then asked, "Still hot?"

"Much better, it doesn't feel hot at all now." Leng Ruoli gave Jiang Muye a gentle smile. "You wash too."

"Okay." Jiang Muye simply put his feet into the hot water as well.

Soaking his feet in the hot water gave Jiang Muye a sense of comfort.

"So comfortable."

"Isn't it too hot? I see your feet have gone red." Leng Ruoli was still a little worried.

Jiang Muye instinctively smiled and shook his head at Leng Ruoli. "Not hot at all, this temperature is just right for me."

"Okay, when we're done soaking in a bit, let's tell each other and dry each other's feet, okay?" Leng Ruoli said to Jiang Muye with a smile.

Jiang Muye nodded. "Okay."

Leng Ruoli's little face was covered in a happy smile.

Her eyes held a shallow tenderness. "The child isn't born yet, and we rarely get such peaceful days. Once the child is born, we'll be washing the child's feet."

"Hahahaha, is that what you think about? I'm already thinking about the child washing my feet."

Hearing Jiang Muye's hearty laughter, Leng Ruoli glared at him. "Is that how a father acts?"

"There is, aren't you seeing it right now? Teaching them from a young age to respect the old and cherish the young is actually pretty good."

"Are we old?" Leng Ruoli asked with a smile.

"Darling, that's a death-trap question!" Jiang Muye reached out and flicked Leng Ruoli's dainty nose tip. "We'll all grow old, but I think even when you're old, you'll still be beautiful in my eyes."

Jiang Muye pictured what the future would look like, his eyes full of longing. "Heh, how many people get to grow old together? Just growing old like this is pretty good. Who can hold onto youth forever? If you can't hold onto it, then go out and make some noise."

"By then you'll be an old man, and I'll be an old lady, and we'll take the bus together and swipe our senior cards." Hearing Jiang Muye's words, Leng Ruoli also began to let her imagination wander.

Jiang Muye continued thinking. "Right, I like fishing, you love planting flowers, and then we'll have a house full of children and grandchildren, watching the children grow up, then watching the grandchildren slowly start their own families, and then we'll go together…"

Would he still have the System then?

He didn't know.

But as long as Leng Ruoli was still there, he would be happy.

Just as Jiang Muye's eyes were full of hope and light, he discovered that Leng Ruoli's eyes had gone red.

"Why are you crying all of a sudden?" Jiang Muye grew anxious, reaching out to gently wipe the tears from the corners of Leng Ruoli's eyes.

Leng Ruoli's nose was red, and she spoke to Jiang Muye with some reluctance to part. "I suddenly don't want to grow old anymore."

"What's wrong, want to stay young forever?" Jiang Muye actually wanted to ask the System whether there was an immortality pill.

After all, compared to men, girls' obsession with beauty and youth was far, far greater than men's.

After all, Leng Ruoli was truly beautiful, so she didn't want to grow old?

As Jiang Muye coaxed Leng Ruoli, Leng Ruoli shook her head vigorously. "You're right, who can stay young forever? I don't care about growing old at all, but I'm afraid that someone will leave first."

That question suddenly choked Jiang Muye's heart.

Indeed, this was something no normal person wanted to face, yet had to face.

Everyone's life has birth, aging, sickness, and death.

Leng Ruoli's eyes were full of tears as she said to Jiang Muye, "I don't want to leave you, and I don't want you to leave me. Whether it's you sending me off or me sending you off, it's a tragedy."

Even if they could grow old happily, who wanted to part?

Especially once you've tasted the feeling of happiness, you no longer want to lose it.

Jiang Muye's mood also grew a little bleak.

It wasn't until he heard Leng Ruoli's next words that he trembled.

"If I really had to choose one of us to go first, I'd want it to be you."

Leng Ruoli, eyes red, smiled at Jiang Muye.

Hearing this, Jiang Muye asked, "What's wrong, I'm going to live to a hundred, or are you saying you want to remarry?"

"Marry who? Who could be better than you? I just don't want you to experience the feeling of loss. After we reach a hundred, you have to go first." Leng Ruoli looked at Jiang Muye sincerely.

She truly loved Jiang Muye.

Girls' endurance was stronger than boys'.

The taste of enduring pain was definitely deeper than for boys too.

So she didn't want to leave Jiang Muye all alone in this world, and even more, she didn't want Jiang Muye to keep thinking about her.

That would be too cruel. If she truly had to go through such pain once, then Leng Ruoli hoped she would be the one to bear it all, not Jiang Muye.

Jiang Muye burst into tears on the spot.

"What are you saying? We haven't even had our child yet, we're not even married, and you're already thinking about life and death partings? That's far off, don't even think about it! If anyone goes first, you go first—I'm destined to be the one who worries my whole life!"

Jiang Muye squeezed out a smile, wiping the tears from the corners of Leng Ruoli's eyes. "I definitely have to arrange things properly for the future generations before I go, haha, look at you crying, like a little calico cat."

"You're one to talk, you're the same as me." Leng Ruoli also helped Jiang Muye wipe his tears.

"The two of us must be sick in the head, we're about to get engaged, why are we getting all sentimental? There's not a single thing wrong!" Jiang Muye laughed out loud.

But Leng Ruoli threw herself into Jiang Muye's arms. "I love you."

"Me too." Jiang Muye kissed Leng Ruoli's temple and said, "Ever since Little White Dove and Sheng Xinyi broke up, I've understood that the two of us are actually pretty happy. A lot of people get lost along the way, but we're still moving forward."

Leng Ruoli smiled through her tears and nodded. "That's right, we really are lucky."

Jiang Muye reached out and pinched Leng Ruoli's round, pretty little face. "Alright, no more crying, and you can't let your thoughts run wild. So it's true that after getting pregnant, your hormone levels get all out of whack. You can't keep going on like this."
