Chapter 614: 614 Well, could it be pre-wedding anxiety?

Li Xiuli saw how much he doted on his daughter and was filled with nothing but happiness.

"What would you like to drink? I think Tangtang made some jasmine tea this morning that looked pretty good. Would you like to try it?"

She had suggested this because she had heard from Tangtang that Yingzhou liked sweet things, otherwise she would have just made regular tea.

Gu Yingzhou was curious and nodded, "Sure, thank you, Auntie Li."

Jasmine tea, that was indeed something new.

This was very much like Tangtang.

"It’s no trouble at all, just sit and wait for a moment." With that, Li Xiuli turned and went into the kitchen.

After a satisfying ride around, Lin Tang pushed her bicycle back home.

Gu Yingzhou stepped forward to help her push the bike to the courtyard, and looking at the young girl’s bright eyes, he asked with a smile, "Are you that happy?"

Lin Tang’s smile brimmed at her lips as she nodded, "Yeah, this will make my commutes much more convenient. The birthday gift you gave me is the best one this year, I love it."

She liked it even more than the gold bracelet.

Without asking, she knew that the gift was made by her significant other himself.

She was especially fond of the full-hearted intention behind it.

Gu Yingzhou chuckled softly, "I’m glad you like it."

...It justified his effort in searching for the materials and making it.

When Li Xiuli came out with a cup in hand and saw the two of them chatting intimately, a perfect match, she placed the cup down and left the space for the young couple, turning back to the kitchen.

After Gu Yingzhou returned home from the factory, he took his bicycle and headed straight to the Lin Family. His mouth was indeed dry.

He picked up the cup, blew on it, and took a sip before finally feeling relieved.

Truth be told, the tea was a bit too sweet, but he liked sweet things, so he accepted it well.

Lin Tang watched as the man’s thin lips were moistened, his eyebrows lowered, adding a touch of softness to his entire being.

"Zhouzhou, are you in a good mood?" she asked curiously.

If she remembered correctly, she was the one receiving gifts today, yet her partner seemed even happier than she was.

Could it be... he encountered some good news?

Gu Yingzhou glanced at her sidelong and reached out to grasp the young girl’s hand, his voice low and velvety.

"Yeah."

Thinking about the preparations already made for the engagement, his eyes were filled with a gentle smile.

Seeing that smile on the man’s face, Lin Tang knew immediately what he was thinking.

She leaned in and with a smirk said, "Thinking about the engagement?"

Gu Yingzhou lifted a finger to her forehead, nodding openly.

"Yes."

Lin Tang’s tone teased, "You’re in such a rush, huh?"

When they first met, his presence was icy, like a wild beast unleashed with an air of dominance, and a single glance could make someone’s heart tremble.

Now, his eyes were full of tender affection, and he even seemed to be looking forward to marriage.

He was truly... a completely different person.

Gu Yingzhou dropped his hand and asked instead of answering, "Aren’t you in a hurry?"

His gaze was light and playful.

Lin Tang sat up straight, withdrew her hand from his, and rested her elbow on the table, propping up her chin.

She shook her head and said, "Not anymore."

Her eyes drifted to some unknown point as she continued, "What the future holds, no one knows. I think I should cherish the time before we get engaged."

She had never walked down the aisle.

From her grandparents to her brother and sister-in-law, her family had painted a rather traditional view of marriage for her—a commitment to one person until death.

So, barring any surprises, the next few days would likely be the last of her ’single’ life.

Gu Yingzhou listened with interest and seemed to understand the underlying meaning in Lin Tang’s words.

He reached out to playfully tousle her hair on her forehead, his gaze sincere.

"Don’t be afraid."

With a soothing word, the man paused, then added, "My family is fairly easy to get along with. Forming a family is a matter between the two of us, and I won’t let you be wronged."

He didn’t use any fancy language, but his serious demeanor was reassuring.

Lin Tang had been dating Gu Yingzhou for nearly a year; how could she not be aware of his virtues?

"I trust you," she said with a smile, "Those thoughts have nothing to do with you—it’s just that..."

After a moment thinking about how to phrase it, she continued, "It’s just that I may soon take on a new identity, and it feels a bit unfamiliar."

To be specific, she was feeling somewhat anxious.

Uh, maybe it’s pre-wedding anxiety?

Who knows, in any case, she’s indeed been thinking a bit too much these past few days.

Gu Yingzhou, having heard Lin Tang’s explanation, wore an expression caught between laughter and tears.

He shook his head, "What are you not used to, it’s only an engagement now. What are you going to do when we get married?"

Lin Tang breathed out and knocked her chin on the stone table.

"Chilled and mixed."

"...We’ll talk about it when the time comes."

Perhaps by then, she would have gotten over it.

No one can predict emotions.

Gu Yingzhou lifted Lin Tang’s chin, placing his hand underneath while his fingers gently squeezed the soft flesh of her chin.

"Hahaha..." Lin Tang abruptly shook off his hand and bounced up.

"That’s so ticklish!"

While talking, she reached to scratch her chin, laughing uncontrollably.

She had many ticklish spots on her body and couldn’t stand being touched by others at all.

Gu Yingzhou paused for a moment, suppressing the smile at the corner of his mouth, and said, "Come here, I won’t touch you again."

Lin Tang was still feeling ticklish and didn’t want to sit with him for the time being. That handsome face couldn’t entice her at all.

She walked to the recliner and settled down securely, covering herself up tightly with a blanket.

Gu Yingzhou knew the young girl was afraid of being tickled, and now he was even more aware of it.

"You’re really scared of being tickled, huh."

Lin Tang realized her weakness had been targeted, and with an expressionless face, she covered her face.

What of being ticklish, who isn’t at some point?

Stop laughing!!

Seeing that he had hit a nerve, Gu Yingzhou touched his nose.

He carried a stool over and sat beside Lin Tang.

As he moved closer, he noticed the young girl’s body stiffened suddenly, the whole person on guard.

She appeared frightened of having her ticklish spots touched.

Gu Yingzhou could barely contain his laughter inside, showing only a trace of it outwardly.

He slightly rose to remove the blanket covering Lin Tang’s head, restraining his laughter.

"Don’t cover your head, what if you can’t breathe?"

"The birthday girl needs to be cheerful and happy."

Lin Tang didn’t want to reveal her own strong reaction, so without much struggle, she obediently loosened her hold and revealed her head.

"The birthday girl can’t be happy if she’s being laughed at."

Gu Yingzhou asked affectionately, "Then how can the birthday girl become happy?"

Lin Tang pointed to the water cup on the table, commanding him, "I want to drink water."

Her eyebrows lifted slightly, her demeanour somewhat carelessly proud.

Gu Yingzhou paused for a moment, stood up and brought over the cup, actually feeding Lin Tang directly to her lips.

"Drink."

His eyes deepened, this close proximity was both melting and tantalizing, causing Lin Tang’s heart to thump wildly.

Barely suppressing her treacherous heartbeat, Lin Tang quickly drank the water and leaned back, distancing herself slightly from the man beside her.

The cool fragrance faded from her nose, and she quietly took a deep breath.

emmm...

Perhaps, what the family said was true, that she craved Yingzhou’s face?

Lin Tang began to doubt herself, and without coming to a conclusion, Lin Xiaojing arrived.

"Tangtang, Comrade Gu." She called out.

Placing the gift on the table, Xiaojing said with a smile, "A birthday present, nothing expensive, I hope you like it."

After being ill, her face, which had only just begun to fill out, became gaunt again.

The cheekbones on both sides protruded, and she also seemed to look not very well.

Seeing her cousin as frail as she had been a few days prior, Lin Tang’s brows furrowed slightly.
