After the passionate lovemaking, Gu Jinlan fell asleep in Shi Ye's arms.

But Shi Ye did not sleep all night.

His body felt a primitive satisfaction, but when he looked at the scars on Gu Jinlan's body, he felt empty in his heart.

He could feel that Gu Jinlan had completely accepted her from the bottom of her heart, and loved and trusted him more than before.

This is what he has been looking forward to.

But when he saw the scars on her body tonight and thought of the severe injuries Yan Yi had inflicted on her, he began to get scared.

He was afraid that one day Gu Jinlan would know about Yan Yi’s existence, and everything they had built with great difficulty would collapse.

It felt like countless ants were gnawing at his heart, making it impossible for him to sleep peacefully.

I always feel that holding her in my arms and sleeping in the same bed with her at this moment would be a dream and disappear in the blink of an eye.

So he especially cherished the beauty of this moment, staring at Gu Jinlan's sleeping face without blinking.

Finally, daybreak came.

Seeing a ray of orange-red sunlight seeping in from the window, Shi Ye's heart finally settled down a little.

It shows that everything is not a dream.

She was truly in his arms.

At this moment he finally regained a bit of courage and believed that he could protect their little home and would not be affected by the existence of Yan Yi and Shi Mufan.

Although he had not slept all night, Shi Ye was now full of confidence and fighting spirit, so he had no desire to sleep at all.

He got up quietly, picked up a cigarette and went outside.

The sky was still a little dark and not yet bright, but it was sunrise time and the farm looked very peaceful and beautiful under the sunrise.

Suddenly, he heard the sound of a wheelchair sliding on the wooden floor behind him. Shi Ye turned around and saw Si Mo sliding out of the house in a wheelchair.

He greeted politely, "Are you up so early?"

"Not asleep yet." Si Mo came to Shi Ye's side, "How about you? Did you also not sleep all night, or are you awake?"

"Didn't sleep."

"That's quite a coincidence."

Shi Ye laughed, took out a cigarette from the box, put it in his mouth and bit it, then handed the box to Si Mo.

Si Mo shook his head. "I finally managed to detoxify my body. I want to live longer."

His physical condition has always been poor, and he had many problems before the neurotoxins were implanted into his body.

It is not easy to be alive today.

Now that their most difficult problem has been solved, he doesn't want to leave Gu Jinlan and Qingli too early in the future.

Shi Ye withdrew his hand, put the cigarette box into his pants, took out a lighter and lit a cigarette.

The firelight lit up in the dimness, illuminating the outline of his handsome face.

He exhaled a puff of bluish-white smoke, narrowed his narrow eyes slightly, and looked through the smoke at the rising red sun in the sky.

"Is the sunrise here always so beautiful?" Shi Ye asked.

It turns out that this was the scenery that Lanlan saw every day when she lived here.

"Not really." Si Mo said, "It depends on the weather, but sunrises like this are not uncommon."

Shi Ye nodded slightly, "This place is really nice, like a paradise."

"Indeed, the organization has never found this place. Even if we don't go out, we can be self-sufficient by growing some food on the farm."

"Thank you."

"What did you say?"

Si Mo was stunned by Shi Ye's sudden "thank you". This didn't sound like something that could come out of Shi Ye's mouth.

"Thank you." Shi Ye turned to look at Si Mo, "Thank you for taking care of Lan Lan over the years."

He could see that among the three of them, Si Mo was like a mature and steady brother.

“……”Si Mo was stunned.

This is the first time I saw such a look in Shi Ye’s eyes.

Although Shi Ye was standing, with his eyes looking above him, the previous arrogance and disdain in Shi Ye's eyes were gone.

At this moment, Shi Ye's eyes were very sincere, so sincere that he felt uncomfortable.

Si Mo said: "It is really rare to hear such a thank you from Master Shi."

Before, he could sense that Master Shi was hostile and wary of him.

"Thank you sincerely." Shi Ye turned around and continued to look at the sunrise in the distance. "I know you have suffered a lot over the years. The three of you have been like family for a long time. You have come this far by supporting each other."

"I also thank you for letting me come here and letting me truly understand Lan Lan's past. Thank you for your trust."

"If you and Qingli have any requests in the future, feel free to ask."

Si Mo said: "Steel tempered a hundred times becomes soft as silk, it seems to describe the current Tenth Master."

Shi Ye said: "You understand our Eastern culture quite well."

Si Mo said: "I am also half Oriental."

Suddenly both men laughed.

Neither of them expected that they would have such a pleasant chat with each other, as if they were friends who had known each other for a long time.

"Master Shi is in a good mood today. It seems that he had a great time chatting with Lan Lan last night?" Si Mo asked.

Shi Ye's eyes suddenly lit up, reflecting the sunlight.

"By the way, do you know? My son is Lanlan's biological son! She told me last night."

He looked at Si Mo excitedly, wanting to share the great joy in his heart.

Si Mo nodded, "Yes, I know, congratulations on your family of three finally being reunited."

"When did you know?" The smile on Shi Ye's face suddenly froze.

Si Mo actually knew about this earlier than him.

"I……"

"Forget it, it doesn't matter when you knew it." Shi Ye interrupted before Si Mo finished speaking, his face regained a bright smile, and a proud arc on the corner of his lips, "Anyway, Ranran is the son of Lanlan and me."

He couldn't wait to go back and tell Ranran and grandma the good news.

They will definitely be very happy when they know this, and they won’t be as expressionless and unresponsive as Si Mo.

"Lan told you his son's life experience because he has made up his mind to continue living with you. What about you?" Si Mo asked.

Shi Ye said without hesitation: "I have already made up my mind."

He had decided on their marriage earlier than Lanlan, and had determined that she was the one for him in this life.

Si Mo smiled: "I mean, have you confessed everything to her?"

Hearing this, Shi Ye was suddenly stunned.

Si Mo continued, "If two people are determined to stay together through life and death, they should be honest with each other. Only honesty can make a relationship last longer. This is true for friendship, and I believe it is also true for love, right?"

Shi Ye turned to look at Si Mo. Seeing Si Mo's deep green eyes staring at him meaningfully, he frowned slightly: "What do you mean?"

Si Mo smiled helplessly, "I didn't want to explain it, thinking you would handle it yourself, but judging from your reaction, I guess you didn't tell her the truth last night."

"Confess what?" Shi Ye's eyes showed a hint of uneasiness. "What do you want to say?"

Si Mo put away the smile on his face: "Tell me about your relationship with the organization."
