Chapter 483: Don’t let me leave my heart here, okay?
Lin Tang felt that Gu Yingzhou’s aesthetic sensibility was quite on point.
Although it was pink, it wasn’t the tacky kind of pink, but a light peach blossom pink.
In the midst of black, blue, and gray, it was certainly a unique and striking color.
"It’s very pretty, I really like it, thank you," she said.
What else could she say with such a lavish giver?
Buying such luxury items as if they were nothing, what does it show? It shows that he doesn’t care about the price at all, if he wants it, he buys it.
The words "rich" were almost engraved on his forehead.
Gu Yingzhou’s lips slightly curled up as he smiled and said, "I’m glad you like it."
Su Qi looked on at the two young people being so sweet together and couldn’t help but smile helplessly.
He remembered a time when he and Roran were also like this.
Youthful and frivolous, wholeheartedly in love with someone, that person was all you could see or care about.
Before long, the four of them arrived at Lin Tang’s home.
As they stepped into the courtyard, a wave of cool air greeted them.
Su Zheng’s eyes brightened upon feeling the coolness, "Tangtang, your house is really cool."
Lin Tang had noticed this long ago.
She couldn’t be sure of the exact reason.
However, she guessed it might have been because the roses planted by the courtyard wall had been watered with spiritual spring water.
Apart from that, she couldn’t think of any other reason.
Lin Tang couldn’t say this outright and simply said, "Maybe it’s because the flowers in my courtyard are thriving and they’ve absorbed all the hot air from the surroundings."
Clearly a perfunctory explanation, neither Su Qi nor Gu Yingzhou really believed it.
But neither of them, one not wanting to pry and another not wanting to trouble the young lady, delved deeper into the matter.
Only Su Zheng believed it.
The child suddenly grabbed the hem of Lin Tang’s clothes, his face flushed as he shyly said, "Tangtang, can you give me some of these flowers?"
He gestured with his hands to show that he only wanted a little bit.
Lin Tang raised an eyebrow, curious, "What do you want to do with them? Make a flower basket or a garland?"
Su Zheng shook his head, seriously replying, "Neither, I want to give them to my mom.
My mom is so hot that she can’t eat. If we had flowers at home, it would be cooler and she would be able to eat."
After explaining, he pulled on Lin Tang’s clothes and cooed softly.
"Tangtang, is that okay? Please, I can trade with you. I’ll give you all my toys, okay?"
Su Qi hadn’t expected the little tyrant at home to have such a considerate side, and his heart trembled fiercely.
He suddenly remembered a phrase he’d seen somewhere: some children are angels who come to repay kindness.
With intense emotions churning inside him, Su Qi reached out and ruffled Su Zheng’s hair fondly.
Smack—
Su Zheng removed his hand with a look of protest, "Dad, don’t mess up my hair; messing with my hair will keep me from growing tall."
His dad wasn’t as tall as his uncle to begin with, and here he was thwarting his height growth, couldn’t he stop holding him back?!
The helpless child shook his head, old beyond his years as he dismissed Su Qi.
Then he looked up, continuing to gaze at Lin Tang with anticipation.
Su Qi, with his heart full of an intense fatherly love that had nowhere to go, deflated like a punctured ball, his enthusiasm gone.
He had been thinking of giving his son some extra pocket money, but it seemed Su Zheng didn’t want it.
Great, he could save the money then!
Later, when Su Zheng found out the truth, he almost cried.
At this moment, Su Zheng, unaware of his great loss, was still begging his Tangtang to share some flowers with him.
Lin Tang looked at the child’s eager eyes, patted Su Zheng’s shoulder, and said with a smile:
"For you, as much as you want. Zhengzheng’s filial piety deserves praise, and I support you."
With that, she went to prepare drinks for the guests.
Su Zheng, looking smug, lifted his chin high, casting a cocky glance at Su Qi and Gu Yingzhou.
Behind him, it was as if an invisible tail swayed back and forth.
"Lin Tang said I deserved praise!"
With his hands akimbo and his round belly sticking out, he boasted proudly.
Su Qi looked at his troublesome son and felt a pain in her eyes.
Gu Yingzhou’s voice was steady, "Well done, keep it up next time."
Su Zheng, hearing praise from his favorite uncle, smiled happily with eyes curved like crescent moons.
Lin Tang took out four cups and placed them on the table.
"There’s chilled boiled water in the well; I’ll fetch it and make you some cool fruit juice," she explained.
As she spoke, she walked towards the edge of the well.
Little Su Zheng followed her with his short legs.
He hadn’t gone far when Gu Yingzhou grabbed him and pushed him into Su Qi’s arms, "The well is dangerous, don’t run around."
Leaving these words, Gu Yingzhou advanced to take hold of Lin Tang, "Don’t move, I’ll do it."
The well in the courtyard had a wide opening, half covered by a slab of bluestone, leaving one-third exposed, which still seemed dangerous.
Lin Tang, accustomed to drawing water, didn’t see it as dangerous, but facing her partner’s kindness, she didn’t refuse.
She stepped back, making room for him.
Gu Yingzhou started turning the windlass, hauling the wooden bucket up from the well.
Filled with water, the bucket wasn’t heavy for him.
Thinking of the girl’s thin and frail body, Gu Yingzhou’s heart pounded with a sudden fear.
If she were to lose her balance, he dared not even think about it.
Gu Yingzhou’s expression was solemn, uncompromisingly insisting, "I’ll come by every other day from now on, stay away from the well."
His deep eyes gazed steadily at Lin Tang, waiting for her response.
"There’s no need for such trouble; I’m used to it, and you have so many things to do..."
She hadn’t finished speaking when Gu Yingzhou interrupted her with his insistent words.
"No matter how busy I am, I still have time to fetch water for you."
He could do overtime work at the factory, but the girl he was fond of was the only one.
Seeing Lin Tang not responding, Gu Yingzhou persisted, uneasily pressing, "Just agree with me quickly, don’t leave me worrying here, okay?"
If it came to it, he would have to hire someone to fill the well and dig a new, safer one.
Lin Tang felt a sweetness in her heart as if she had eaten sugar, but her face showed a hint of helplessness.
"Alright, alright, I agree with you. I promise to stay far away from this well, okay now?"
Gu Yingzhou’s expression softened, he effortlessly moved the bluestone slab, sealing the well opening tightly.
Without another word, he resolved to visit every two days.
Lin Tang washed her hands and poured the icy water she fetched from the well into the four cups on the table.
With clean chopsticks, she stirred each one, helping the juice powder dissolve.
"Ice water doesn’t dissolve it well, so make do with it, but the taste should be good. There’s Sour Plum Soup, orange powder, and lemonade... take whatever you like," Lin Tang explained.
Under the circumstances, that was the best she could do.
As a child, Su Zheng liked colorful things and thought the orange-colored powder looked very pretty.
He expressed his preference right away.
"I like this one!" He pointed at the orange drink, politely saying, "May I have it?"
The host, Lin Tang, nodded, "Of course, if it’s not enough, I’ll make you more after you’re done."
Neither Su Qi nor Gu Yingzhou cared which one they chose; they just wanted something to quench their thirst.
After gulping it down, both men found it delicious.
"So refreshing!" exclaimed Su Qi, "No wonder you chill the water in the well; it really quenches the thirst. One sip and my whole body feels lighter."
It wasn’t an exaggeration to say he felt completely refreshed.
Even the dullness from sitting on a train for dozens of hours seemed to vanish.
On a hot, oppressive late summer day, drinking something ice-cold was exactly what he needed.
Bang-on refreshing!!!
