Chapter 677: Chapter 675 Together 2_1

Seeing these people, Jiang Miaomiao couldn’t help but grip his hand tightly and pull him closer to herself, as if she was afraid he might be snatched away by someone.

Watching her protective action, Jiang Bai couldn’t help but let out a soft chuckle, feeling warmth in his heartless heart.

"I shouldn’t have made you so handsome!" Seeing him still daring to laugh, Jiang Miaomiao instantly puffed up her cheeks, glaring at him fiercely.

"My mistake." Jiang Bai reached out to pat her head, saying with a strong will to live.

Jiang Miaomiao snorted, stood on tiptoe, and patted his head: "Fine, I forgive you!"

Actually, how could she bear to scold him? She was just putting on an act!

Ahead was a red light.

Jiang Miaomiao and Jiang Bai stopped.

The red light lasted a full minute.

Many people frowned and stared impatiently at the red light, as if doing so would turn it green.

If it were a normal day, Jiang Miaomiao would definitely have been as impatient as the people around her, silently cursing why it was taking so long.

But at this moment, having her beloved by her side while waiting for the red light, the dreary time no longer felt dull at all.

Jiang Miaomiao glanced up, tilted her face, and looked at him, her expression as soft as a cloud.

How many times had she practiced this scene in her mind, walking down the road holding his hand.

Now, her wish had finally come true.

"Silly girl, stop staring at me. It’s green now. If we don’t cross, we’ll have to wait for the next one," Jiang Bai said, looking down into her infatuated gaze.

Jiang Miaomiao blinked her eyes: "As long as you’re here, waiting for many red lights is not boring at all."

"But we are affecting other people’s passage," Jiang Bai pulled her to the side, making room for others who needed to cross the road.

"Then let’s go," Jiang Miaomiao said, pulling his hand back and walking on the white zebra crossing, humming an unknown tune with her lips.

The bright sunlight shone on the corners of her eyes, casting a cheerful reflection of her face.

Perhaps she had walked too briskly, Jiang Miaomiao couldn’t help but cover her mouth and cough twice.

"What’s wrong?" Jiang Bai instantly became highly anxious, raising his hand to gently pat her back.

"Should I carry you to the hospital to have a look?"

As he spoke, Jiang Bai kneeled on one knee, turning his back towards her, indicating for her to climb on quickly.

Jiang Miaomiao had just coughed for a few seconds and was back to normal: "I’m fine, Bai. You’re overreacting. I just coughed because I walked too fast. Why are you so nervous?"

She said to him with a teasing smile on her face.

Seeing she was really alright, Jiang Bai finally breathed a sigh of relief. He extended his arms to embrace her and said in a muffled voice, "The reason I’m so nervous is that human bodies are too fragile!"

Unlike them, robots, where a broken part can simply be replaced with no impact at all, and even if they accidentally ’die,’ as long as the chip is intact, they can still be brought back to life.

But humans, once dead, are truly gone, never to live again.

So how could he not be anxious?

His loss would be an eternal one.

Seeing him so serious, Jiang Miaomiao stopped her playfulness and tightly grasped his hand, earnestly telling him, "Bai, don’t worry. I am in good health, and I will surely live a long life!"

"You must!" Jiang Bai stood in the middle of the road and rubbed her face.

Jiang Miaomiao’s rented apartment was in the city center.

It was in a nearby residential area.

Upon arriving, Jiang Bai realized that her house was indeed bustling with activity.

There were many people, men and women, and there was even a couple who looked like they were in love.

"Are these all your friends?" Jiang Bai asked subconsciously.

Jiang Miaomiao shook her head and explained, "No, they’re my roommates, the ones I share the rent with."

Worried he might not understand, Jiang Miaomiao added another sentence.

Hearing this, Jiang Bai was shocked and quickly felt a pang of heartache.

She was actually sharing accommodation with others!

"Where is your bedroom?" he asked, taking a deep breath, ignoring the people around him who were sizing him up.

"Over here." Jiang Miaomiao pointed to a room on the north side and pulled him toward it.

The north bedroom was devoid of sunlight all year round.

And her bedroom was pathetically small, only about ten square meters, piled high with instant noodles.

They were not the expensive kind of boxed instant noodles, but the cheaper bagged ones, next to which was a small pot.

It seemed she bought bagged noodles to save money, as one bag could be one or two yuan cheaper than the boxed variety.

After taking a look around, Jiang Bai’s heart, where it should be, started to ache fiercely, as if it was being tightly constricted by a hand, nearly leaving him breathless.

"Have you always lived like this?" he closed his eyes, then opened them again, his voice trembling with a choke.

"What’s wrong with living like this? It’s quite good!" Jiang Miaomiao’s eyes had already reddened, but she still pretended to be strong.

Xia Ningxing had intended to give her money, but she and Lu Tingli had helped her so much, she didn’t have the nerve to accept Xia Ningxing’s money.

So she lied about having some savings left, enough for her upcoming expenses.

Even to deceive Xia Ningxing, when she invited her over, she deliberately bought a lot of expensive snacks to show that she really wasn’t short of living expenses.

"Stop pretending, do you think I’ve forgotten? You hate eating instant noodles the most. You once said that they have an unpleasant smell..." Jiang Bai held her close with affection.

If he were capable of shedding tears, then at this moment her hair would probably be soaked with his tears.

"I’m sorry, it’s all because of me that you’ve suffered so much."

Jiang Miaomiao’s already fragile defenses collapsed with a thunderous crash.

She buried herself in his embrace and began to cry again.

"Don’t apologize, it’s not your fault. As long as you come back, even if I have to eat the instant noodles I hate, I’d be happy!"

Jiang Bai let her go, cupped her face, wiped away her tears, and promised, "Miaomiao, from now on, I’ll take care of earning money, and I won’t let you live a hard life!"

Jiang Miaomiao sobbed, and through blurry tears, looked at him, "How will you earn money? You don’t even have an ID, no one will hire you for work. Don’t worry about me, I’m preparing to sign with Ningxing to Giant Star Entertainment. When I start acting and doing commercial performances, I can earn money to support us!"

She believed that as long as she was willing to work hard, she could make a name for herself in the industry.

Then they would have money!

"No, you don’t like acting at all. I won’t let you continue to force yourself into a career you dislike," Jiang Bai firmly refused.

He knew her dream. She wanted to be a cartoonist, to draw comics, not to be an actress.

He would definitely help her achieve her dream.

Jiang Bai then added, "And who said I would do odd jobs? This time, Lu Tingli implanted a chip related to stock trading in my body. I can trade stocks to support you. Although I might not get rich overnight, I think we can live without concerns for food and clothing."
