Chapter 221 Going South (3)
"No!" Lin Zhou said.
"Tsk, are you really capable of this? I've taught you so many tricks, and none of them work at all?"
"It doesn't work, it's completely useless!" Lin Zhou said calmly: "You should save those tricks to please your wife!"
Gao Cheng couldn't help laughing, stood up from the rocking chair and patted him: "Hey, if this doesn't work, try someone else! Look how much I'm torturing you!"
"Get lost!" Lin Zhou smiled and slapped him back: "Why don't you change?"
While the two were joking around here, Gao Wen and Tian Xin had already started whispering over there!
"This is an emergency, so I won't beat around the bush." Tian Xin leaned close to Gao Wen's ear and said, "I'm going out of town. I'll take the train tomorrow morning. Tell Lin Zhou later that it was you who asked me to come and that I'll be staying here for a few days. Got it?"
"You're alone..."
"Shh..."
"You're going out of town alone?" Gao Wen lowered her voice and leaned close to her ear to ask, "Where are you going? Is it far?"
"It's not far, I'll be back in a few days!" Tian Xin reminded him again: "You must tell me, okay?"
"Oh!" Gao Wen nodded repeatedly.
"So how are things between you and him now?" she asked again.
"What's going on?"
"Oh, stop pretending," Gao Wen hugged her and said, "Tell me the truth, how far have you come?"
"Let's not talk about this for now. Can we go eat first? I'm hungry!" Tian Xin avoided Gao Wen's continuous questioning and rubbed her stomach in a high-profile manner.
Maybe she was really hungry, her stomach growled twice in cooperation. The sound was so loud that Lin Zhou and Gao Cheng, who were walking behind her, couldn't help but glance at her sideways, and then laughed at the same time.
Oh...how embarrassing! Tian Xin covered her face with her hands.
"Let's go, let's eat!" Gao Wen grabbed Tian Xin and walked back: "By the way, let me show you our new house!"
…
Dinner was eaten at Gao Wen and Gao Cheng’s new home.
Just as she had imagined, after dinner, Lin Zhou saw that she and Gao Wen were chatting happily, so he said hello to them and left. Before leaving, he asked Tian Xin to contact him when she returned.
"I'll go see him off!" Tian Xin followed Lin Zhou downstairs!
The car was parked downstairs, and Lin Zhou seemed reluctant to leave. Seeing Tian Xin following him, he stood there for a long time without any intention of leaving.
"How many days do you plan to stay?" Lin Zhou asked.
"1 week, or 10 days!" said Tian Xin.
"It takes so long? Is it convenient for you to live in their house like this? Or..."
"Just one night, tomorrow..."
"What?"
"Nothing... nothing?" Tian Xin bit her lip. "Well, you should go back quickly. You've wasted a day. Go back and rest early."
"Yeah!" Lin Zhou responded, but his feet did not move!
"Drive slowly and let me know when you arrive!" Tian Xin reminded again.
"Yeah!" Lin Zhou still didn't move, just looked at her quietly, his eyes fixed on her.
"Why are you looking at me? Go...go!" she urged.
Lin Zhou still didn't move, and called her in a deep voice: "Come here!"
"ah?"
"Come here!"
"I……"
After taking only one step forward, Lin Zhou couldn't wait to rush to her and hugged her in his arms: "What should I do? I don't want to leave!"
"Why are you acting like a child?" Tian Xin patted his back and said with a smile, "It's not like I won't be back!"
"But it takes that long to see you?"
"It's only been a week. Don't we usually only see each other once in a while?"
"That's different!" Lin Zhou said.
"What's the difference?"
"It's so far away, I don't even know where you are!"
"I'm right here!"
"Really?"
"Yeah, really!"
Tian Xin patted him and got out of his arms: "Let's go, go slowly on the way, and be sure to tell me when you arrive!"
Lin Zhou reluctantly got into the car and glanced at Tian Xin through the window: "Tell me when you come back, I'll pick you up!"
"Okay!" Tian Xin nodded in response.
The car moved forward. She became smaller and smaller in the rearview mirror until she disappeared into a dot. Only then did Lin Zhou speed up and rush towards the North Second Ring Road.
The night was hazy, and the moonlight sprinkled on the ground, as if covered with a layer of golden gauze.
Tian Xin couldn't help but look up and say to herself: "The moonlight tonight... is so beautiful!"
…
Lin Zhou's text message came on time an hour later, with only two words: Arrived!
Tian Xin was about to start a night chat with Gao Wen. When she saw the message, she was a little excited and quickly replied, "Okay, go to bed early, good night."
【Good night】Lin Zhou came back quickly!
These two words were familiar yet unfamiliar. She stared at her phone for a long time, feeling a little uncomfortable in her heart.
Gao Wen noticed her dazed look and walked over to take a look: "What are you doing? The person just left and you're already thinking about it?"
"No, what are you talking about?" Tian Xin put down her phone and instantly switched back to her bestie mode. She extended her lustful claws towards Gao Wen: "My beauty, are you sure you want to leave your husband behind to be with me tonight?"
"If you're so unruly," Gao Wen said, smiling as she pulled away her hand from her waist, "I'll run away any second!"
"Tsk!" Tian Xin immediately let go of her hand and grumbled to Gao Wen with a sidelong glance, "I thought you'd be more cheerful now that you're with Gao Cheng, but why are you still so boring? You can't even be funny?"
"Who said that? Why can't I resist being teased?" Gao Wen reached out and tickled her lower back, making her jump up and down in a circle, chased by Gao Wen. "How's it going? Are you convinced?"
"I give in, I give in, I give in. I give in, I give in! I was wrong!" Tian Xin couldn't stand being chased anymore, so she just lay down on the bed and lay there like a corpse!
Gao Wen also lay down.
The room suddenly became quiet.
Tian Xin turned her head, looked at Gao Wen quietly for a few seconds, and asked softly: "Are you happy, Gao Wen?"
"Yeah!" Gao Wen turned towards her and nodded vigorously, a smile on her face: "Happy!"
"What does it feel like?" she asked again, "What does it feel like to be married to...the one you love and be together every day?"
"I feel at ease and at peace!" Gao Wen looked into her eyes and said softly, "Xin, I'm really happy! In my entire life, I've never been so happy every day as I am now!"
She turned and looked at the ceiling, her eyes full of tenderness, her previous timidity and restraint completely disappeared.
"After getting married, I realized that there really is someone who can accept me completely and tell me that I am just me, unique and irreplaceable!
He tolerates all my shortcomings and endures my temper! When I feel uneasy, he is the first to hug me, comfort me, and tell me: "What are you afraid of? You still have me!"
"You know what?" Gao Wen turned around and looked at her, saying with great emotion, "Every morning when I wake up, the first thing I see is him lying next to me, and I feel so at ease! This kind of happiness is stronger than ever! Really, being able to marry him and be loved by him, I really feel that this life... is worth it!"
