When he said he was willing to let her go, Tian Xin was happy and, at the same time, had a kind of inexplicable loss. She barely suppressed the complicated emotions and thought it would be too long to wait until nine months after the child’s birth. As she was about to open her mouth, Ryan interrupted and said, “I only have this one request.”

Tian Xin’s hand unconsciously covered her belly. Ever since she found out she was pregnant, she had been in a state of anxiety. She was afraid she wouldn’t be able to get rid of the baby, so she refused to acknowledge his existence. However, now that she thought about it, giving birth to him and leaving him with Ryan seemed like the best option, so she slowly nodded.

When Ryan saw her nod, he was expressionless as he pulled his big meat stick out of her. Then he went ashore to get dressed and cleaned himself up before standing quietly on edge, waiting for Tian Xin.

Although Tian Xin was in the hot spring, she still felt cold without his embrace. It was cold from the bottom of her heart, so she could not help but shiver. She soaked her whole body in the hot spring to warm up for a while and then drew out all the residual essence in her womanhood. Then, she climbed to the shore with no energy. She tried to climb up to the shore with some effort, but her body, which had just been severely loved, was too weak to climb up. The only way was to ask for his help.

Ryan sighed helplessly and reached out to pull her out of the hot spring. He could never be cruel to her, even if she wanted to leave him.

Seeing Tian Xin tending to herself, Ryan took the lead and turned towards the village. Tian Xin looked at his back, a little aggrieved as she flattened her mouth and followed at a jog.

When they left the village, they were very happy and sweet. But when they came back, they were lifeless, one behind the other. When Moussa, who was tilling her small vegetable garden behind the house, saw them, she was amazed and shouted, “Tian Xin.”

Tian Xin heard someone call her name, so she stopped in her tracks. She looked back and saw that it was Moussa. She then turned her head to look in Ryan’s direction, and it just so happened that Ryan also looked back at her.

When their eyes met, Ryan turned his head back with no expression and continued walking toward home.

Tian Xin was very uncomfortable with his cold attitude. Although she knew that Ryan had asked for it, she could not help but feel a strong sense of loss in her heart.

To avoid going home to face his cold face, Tian Xin turned towards Moussa, who asked concernedly, “What’s wrong with you and Ryan? When you went out, weren’t you fine?”

Tian Xin shook her head and said perfunctorily, “Nothing, he and I are having a problem.” She didn’t know why, but she didn’t want to say much about her and Ryan. Probably subconsciously thought it was her fault.

When Moussa saw her reluctance to talk, she didn’t press her. She comforted her by saying that Ryan was very good-tempered and that she could just say something nice to coax him.

Tian Xin nodded in agreement, then changed the subject by pointing to a seedling on the ground and asking, “What is this?”

Speaking of the seedlings she planted, Moussa’s eyes immediately brightened up. She explained enthusiastically, “This is the seedling of cotton. I already had some last year and harvested the cotton, so I’ll plant more today. Perhaps there will be enough to make a dress in autumn. On top of that, you can see that there are seedlings of sweet potatoes here.”

Looking at Moussa excitedly pointing out a seedling, showing her what a seedling is, Tian Xin’s heart moved. She might have to leave here in nine months. Shouldn’t she also take advantage of this time to do her best to improve the living environment here? After all, her baby would live here in the future, and Ryan would also live here all the time.
