Reborn into the 70: Turning Adversity into Her Dazzling Path

Chapter 46: Chapter 46: Falling into the Embrace

Speaking of, Gu Lingling was quietly sobbing as she walked back and forth.

Her red, swollen eyes made her vision a bit blurry, but, in her efforts to vent her grievances, she didn’t notice and just squinted her eyes while crying.

”Stop walking, you’re about to fall into a pit.” Suddenly, someone shouted from across.

By the time Gu Lingling reacted, she was already uncontrollably falling forward.

In front was a large pit, no one knew when it had been dug. It was deep, and when going up the mountain, Gu Chunhai had reminded Gu Lingling to be careful.

Scared, Gu Lingling closed her eyes. Falling down would definitely hurt.

With a sudden ’thump,’ Gu Lingling’s head hit something hard, maybe a wall? Or was it a wooden block in the pit?

”What are you thinking about?” A deep yet familiar voice suddenly came from above her, making Gu Lingling’s body abruptly stiffen.

It must have hurt so much that she was hallucinating.

She actually thought she heard Yang Yunhai’s voice, and in such an embarrassing situation.

Last time she fell flat on her face, and this time? If not flat on her face, then she was on her back? No matter how, it was the most embarrassing, couldn’t be more!

”Do you need me to hold you?”

Seeing Gu Lingling lying motionless like a corpse, Yang Yunhai’s lips slightly curled up.

Hold...hold her?

Could it be?

Gu Lingling blinked to make sure she wasn’t hearing things. She seemed to hear the sound of her heart shattering, accompanied by a helpless wail.

Why? Why?

Did she always have to run into Yang Yunhai at her most embarrassing moments?

And this time, she directly threw herself onto him. Yes, the wall she hit just now was actually Yang Yunhai’s solid chest.

Gu Lingling’s face instantly turned red, a fiery blush.

She reflexively wanted to push away from Yang Yunhai, but was held even tighter by him, ”Don’t move, or do you want us both to fall?”

Gu Lingling dared not move, clinging tightly to Yang Yunhai like an octopus.

No choice, she valued her life!

Blushing, she lowered her head, not daring to meet Yang Yunhai’s gaze.

Acting innocent, acting unaware, playing dead, pretending to know nothing.

Just like this, feeling a bit reckless inside.

Only when Yang Yunhai moved her to a safer place did he put her down, ”Are you okay?”

Yang Yunhai then noticed, not only was the little girl’s face red, but her beautiful almond-shaped eyes were swollen from crying, no wonder she seemed a bit off from afar.

”Who bullied you?” Yang Yunhai’s eyebrows slightly raised, his voice unintentionally ice cold.

”No... no one.” Gu Lingling shook her head.

”If not, then why are you crying like this?” Seeing her drooping like a pitiful kitten, Yang Yunhai’s voice softened, with an unrecognized gentleness, ”Don’t be afraid, tell me, did someone bully you?”

Given what he saw previously when passing through Nanshui Village, Yang Yunhai couldn’t help but suspect if this girl was bullied by her stepmother again.

”No.” Gu Lingling said with her head down, her voice still nasal from crying for too long.

Even though it was just a simple two words, it swept lightly across Yang Yunhai’s heart like a feather, leaving a ticklish ripple...

”Today is my mother’s death anniversary.”

Just as Yang Yunhai contemplated continuing his questions, Gu Lingling’s nasally voice floated over.

No wonder.

”Here’s this for you.”

Before he knew it, Yang Yunhai’s hand was holding a floral wreath, woven from wildflowers by the roadside. Seeing the girl cry, he instinctively made a flower wreath, ”I think your mother would surely love to see you happy.”
