Chapter 571: Marry me quickly, please, 571

Lin Tang looked up at him, her eyes like water, bright with a gleam of anticipation.

"So cute," she said, smiling openly.

"Not just now, but even when you become a scruffy old man, you’ll still be cute in my eyes."

...the kind of cute that she couldn’t help but adore!

Seeing Gu Yingzhou’s lips moist, Lin Tang pulled out a tissue and gently wiped them.

Her fingertips were soft and cool, while the man’s thin lips were hot.

The contrast of hot and cold made the air inside the car grow sticky once again.

Suddenly, someone’s breathing grew heavier.

Gu Yingzhou’s heart trembled, and he looked away.

Fearing that if he was teased any further, he might turn into a beast.

After a moment, he turned his head back.

Leaning in, he enveloped Lin Tang in a hug, his voice husky, "...Hurry up and marry me."

Lin Tang nuzzled her face against Gu Yingzhou’s chest, her voice sweet and soft.

"Wait for my birthday to pass, and we’ll get engaged, it’s very soon."

Once engaged, they would marry in the first half of next year.

...She hoped that by then the chaos wouldn’t be too crazy.

For the first time in both her past and present lives, she hoped her wedding would be grand and glorious.

Gu Yingzhou’s eyes sparkled when he heard her implicit agreement.

Feeling the young girl’s willingness to start a new family with him, his lips curved upwards, the aloofness in his eyes entirely dissipated, shining like the stars.

"I’ve never felt time pass so slowly before," the man said, his voice filled with laughter.

Lin Tang played with Gu Yingzhou’s fingertips, enjoying the rare tranquility of the moment.

"Why? Haven’t we always been together?" she said with a smile.

Then, a hint of teasing appeared in her eyes.

"Could it be that you’re planning to do something naughty?"

Her fingertip lightly pressed against her rosy lips, her smile deep with implication.

Gu Yingzhou kept a straight face.

He didn’t think... having those kinds of thoughts was something to be ashamed of.

"...I won’t deny it," he said.

"Doing naughty things is part of marriage, you are the person I love, the person I want to spend my life with, do I have... ahem, is there a problem with that?"

He was a fully grown normal man, the girl in his arms was the only one who’d ever touched his heart and whom he loved; it was normal to have desires, wasn’t it?

Lin Tang hadn’t expected Gu Yingzhou to be so forthright, and she replied with equal candor, "...No."

If Zhouzhou had no such thoughts about her, that’s what she should be worried about.

However...

"You said I’m the person you love?" Lin Tang’s eyes shone brightly.

She stared intensely at the man.

Love, wow!

Gu Yingzhou suddenly stiffened, feeling his ears heat up.

He looked away uncomfortably.

He silently adjusted Lin Tang’s seatbelt and started the car.

Not saying another word.

Lin Tang, seeing the faint blush spreading over his pale earlobes, changed the subject with a smile.

"Were you sulking just now because I didn’t ask for your help?" she asked.

Let’s not talk about love for now; after all, people of this era are quite reserved.

To avoid making him burst with anger on the spot.

Gu Yingzhou relaxed his tense expression as the girl brought up something else.

"Mhm, I’m your partner, and when there’s work to be done that requires strength, I hope you’ll think of me."

Lin Tang glanced at him sideways and said with a smile, "How do you know I didn’t think of you or plan on finding you?"

The incident today was purely a misunderstanding.

She had indeed intended to look for her partner after she had found the books.

She just hadn’t expected Brother Aiguo to run into him first.

Gu Yingzhou didn’t believe it; after all, the direction the young girl had taken earlier didn’t seem like she was going to find him.

Lin Tang noticed he didn’t seem convinced, so she recounted the entire incident to him.

She really disliked any crisis of trust.

"See, that’s how it is. I’m not stupid enough to carry all those books home by myself. I really was planning to ask you to take me back after buying the buns," she declared.

Who needs a car when you can walk, isn’t that the behavior of a fool?!

Lin Tang’s face was full of smiles, clearly still laughing at Gu Yingzhou.

Too cute.

It was her first time seeing Zhouzhou sulk, adorably sulky, such a contrast!

Gu Yingzhou didn’t mind being laughed at by the young girl, the corners of his mouth lifting in a faintly self-satisfied manner.

At least Tangtang remembered she had him to turn to when something came up, which was good!

Suddenly recalling that Tangtang hadn’t managed to buy her buns, Gu Yingzhou immediately started backing up the car without another word.

"Eh?" Lin Tang was puzzled, "What are you doing?"

"Taking you to buy buns."

The road was empty, and Gu Yingzhou drove both steadily and fast.

Before long, the car stopped in an open space not far from the state-owned restaurant.

"You don’t need to come down. I’ll go buy them and be right back," he instructed before getting out and heading to the restaurant.

Through the windshield, Lin Tang watched his broad back and a sweet smile lifted the corners of her mouth.

Soon, Gu Yingzhou returned with a bag of buns.

He settled back into the driver’s seat and passed the buns to Lin Tang, "If you’re hungry, eat one to tide you over."

The bag was substantial, weighty.

Lin Tang set it aside, without eating, "I’ll eat when I get back. Why did you buy so many?"

Having rummaged through trash earlier, she hadn’t washed her hands, and couldn’t stomach it.

Driving home, Gu Yingzhou replied, "It’s not much, two for each person at home."

The buns were big, two per person was more than enough.

Lin Tang was silent for a moment, then reminded him, "My mother is frugal. She might scold you for this, so be prepared."

Gu Yingzhou paused, then nodded.

Twenty minutes later, the two arrived back at Shuangshan Brigade.

Gu Yingzhou moved his books into the Lin Family home, with Lin Tang following, carrying the bag of buns.

Once home, Lin Tang washed her hands and began nibbling on a bun.

Driving was indeed fast; the bun was still warm.

The cabbage was slightly sweet, the glass noodles soft, emitting steam with each bite, and it tasted good.

"Have you eaten this morning? It’s quite tasty."

Lin Tang swallowed the bite in her mouth, eyes gazing at the books on the table.

The bun’s skin was thin, the filling plentiful—a bite left a green bean-sized noodle sticking to the corner of her mouth.

A deft flick of her tongue, and she swiftly rolled it into her mouth.

Seeing this, Gu Yingzhou’s eyes stung as if bitten, and he quickly looked away.

The fleeting sweetness in the car lingered; the young girl’s lip-licking action was like lighting a fire on his heart.

Making his whole body feel hot.

Lin Tang, completely oblivious, wondered why her partner was silent.

"...Hmm," Gu Yingzhou murmured vaguely.

Seeing her completely unaware of his inner turmoil, he suddenly grabbed Lin Tang’s hand.

Bending down, he took a bite of the bun in her hand.

"The flavor is indeed good," Gu Yingzhou chewed leisurely, nodding in approval.

Lin Tang thought he hadn’t had enough for breakfast, so she took another bun and handed it over.

"Eat if you’re hungry, since you bought plenty."

So, don’t fight over it with her, right?

Gu Yingzhou looked at the bun in front of him, torn between laughter and tears.

"...I’ll just leave it here, I’ll go wash up."

Could he say he wasn’t hungry?

It was just that watching the young girl eat so deliciously made him inexplicably want to taste it too.

"Oh~" Lin Tang put the bun back.

Gu Yingzhou turned on the tap to wash up.

He stood sideways, and from Lin Tang’s angle, she could see the man’s impressively tall and straight nose.

His handsome face was moistened by water droplets, his temples slightly damp.

Water droplets fell from his sharp jawline, lightly splashing onto the floor.

What was an ordinary everyday affair became somehow captivating when it involved Gu Yingzhou.

Lin Tang stared, transfixed.

Picking up another bun, she ate slowly.
