When I sent Tian Tian to her doorstep, I hesitated to knock on the door.
"What's wrong, Aunt Zhou?"
"Tian Tian, you can go home by yourself. Auntie didn't protect you well, so I won't go in with you."
As soon as I finished speaking, Tian Shanshan opened the door with a spatula in hand and said, "Why are you dawdling? The food is going to get cold."
I was pulled inside, and upon seeing the lavish spread on the table, I suddenly felt a lump in my throat.
"You don't think I'm mad at you, do you? I've already said it has nothing to do with you. I should thank you for protecting Tian Tian."
While saying this, Tian Shanshan took out a cake from the fridge and proudly exclaimed, "Look, I made this!"
I looked at the lopsided cake and couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"What are you laughing at? You need to teach me more in the future. This cake looks simple, but it's so hard to make!"
Tian Tian pointed at the cake and laughed heartily, "Mom is a little silly; Aunt Zhou did a great job!"
After saying that, Tian Tian smeared a dollop of cream on my face. Naturally, I wasn't going to back down; soon both Tian Tian and Tian Shanshan were covered in cream like big calico cats.
Later, I couldn't remember what flavor that cake was; all I recalled was that it was very sweet—so sweet that just thinking about it would make me smile.
Such sweet moments continued until the summer of the second year, and the three of us "warrior women" were still fighting side by side.
Tian Shanshan's company was growing larger and was set to go public next month.
She had become a true workaholic, sometimes so busy that she forgot to eat, and I had to rush to bring her meals.
Tian Tian also successfully passed the entrance exam for junior high school and got into the best elementary school in the city, still as clever and lovable as ever.
On the other hand, Gu An'an struggled with his studies due to the backlash from his buff. Unable to get into a prestigious school, he could only attend a nearby elementary school. Over the past year, his temper had grown increasingly worse, resembling his father more and more.
Gu Anchen's company went bankrupt last year. He even sold all his assets to treat his leg. This year, he underwent numerous surgeries, and just a few days ago, he tested positive for HIV during a health check-up.
The night before last, he tearfully apologized to me.
Of course, I did not forgive him, but considering he was the father of my child, I still advised him to take care of himself.
As for me, encouraged by Tian Shanshan, I opened a cake shop. Business was good enough to support myself.
Life was simple and beautiful; every evening I could take An An and Tian Tian to the beach to wade in the water and watch the sunset.
One night, after a long silence, the system voice suddenly sounded: "Host, the backlash buff has completed all tasks. Our company now has a super lucky buff available for free trial. Would you like to give it a try?"
If it were in the past, I would have agreed without hesitation.
But now, after going through so much, I finally understand that success achieved without personal effort can have its repercussions.
Rather than being powerless when the time comes, it is better to rely on myself and take steady steps forward.
[No need, I think I won't use the system anymore. Goodbye.]
[System: Alright, host. I wish you a happy life and a brilliant future.]
I couldn't help but laugh at this cheesy blessing.
Looking at An An happily gnawing on a bone beside me, I patted its head.
[I don't want a brilliant future; I just want to be as happy every day as I am today. Don't you agree?]
An An joyfully licked my face, barking "Woof woof woof" over and over again.
[An An, what do you think our future life will be like?]
[Woof woof woof.]
Yes, that's right, Wang! Wang! Wang!
Outside the window, the sea breeze gently blows, caressing me softly with each gust.
I am even more certain that this is the life I long for.
[The End]
