Chapter 257 Let’s Get Married

Lin Zhou woke up when the two entered the room for the second time. He heard every word of Tian Xin's crying and Zhang Shuai's weak explanation.

At this moment, he buried his head in the quilt, listening to Tian Xin sitting by the bed, covering her face and crying softly.

Zhang Shuai has already left. When he left, Tian Xin only said one sentence: Don’t ask anything anymore and don’t say these words anymore. She will always treat him as the closest person!

He couldn't understand why she said Zhang Shuai was her "past and present life", nor could he understand what this complicated relationship between the two was?

But he won't ask.

Just like at this moment, he wanted to turn over and sit up immediately, hold her tightly in his arms, tell her that she never need to worry about him leaving, tell her that his love has penetrated into her bones and he can't give up easily!

Just like she said in front of everyone in the private room:

"Just admit it today! Since everyone's here, there's nothing to be shy about!"

She changed her usual evasive and dodging attitude and walked straight to him, kissing him on the cheek in full view of everyone. Then, looking at him firmly, she asked, "Lin Zhou, are you willing to be with me?"

He was so overjoyed that before he could reply, she said, "Think it over before you answer. I'm talking about...being together for life. If you haven't made up your mind, or if you don't think you can do it, don't ask!"

So determined and so brave!

"Then for a lifetime!" he said, "I've thought about it a long time ago!"

The booing and screaming around him drowned out his voice. He saw a trace of sadness in Tian Xin's eyes, then she lowered her head and cried, smiling and gently hugged him.

At that moment, he didn't understand her sadness.

It wasn't until this moment that I understood.

"Water... I want to drink water..."

He threw back the quilt, revealing his flushed face. He was breathing heavily, mumbling softly with his eyes closed.

Tian Xin had stopped crying and was holding one of his hands tightly against her forehead, not knowing what she was thinking.

Hearing his voice, she quickly stood up and ran to pour a glass of water.

But as soon as she turned around, the scene in front of her shocked her so much that she immediately opened her eyes wide and gasped.

Lin Zhou leaned against the headboard, his gaze blazing. His entire body was flushed red, from head to neck and chest. His shirt, unbuttoned inadvertently during his hangover, completely exposed his upper body.

"You...you're awake?"

"Um!"

"water……"

She handed the water over and turned her head away from his sight.

Although she had lived a lifetime and had seen it all, she always felt extremely shy when facing Lin Zhou.

The two have been inseparable these days, but they have always lived separately and have never crossed the line.

This is the first time we are so close together tonight.

"Why is your face so red?"

Lin Zhou got up from the bed, walked over to her, and touched her red face: "I told you not to drink, why don't you listen!"

"Just say this to yourself!" She hesitated for a second, then raised her hand to quickly button his shirt, muttering, "You knew you were allergic to alcohol, yet you still insisted on drinking so much. Aren't you afraid of death?"

"Scared!" Lin Zhouyi held her hand against his chest, his eyes gleaming with a bottomless light as he looked directly into hers, extremely moved: "I'm very happy!"

Her cold fingers touched his hot skin, and she felt the man's strong heartbeat from her fingertips. She felt that she was a little breathless and kept repeating the swallowing action nervously.

"Afraid... why did you drink so much? What's there to be happy about when things are like this?"

She tried to push him away, but it was useless. Lin Zhou's grip was too tight. This time, her hand touched his chest directly, which was even more... awkward!!!

"Don't move!" he said in a deep voice.

"Okay, okay, I won't move. Why don't you let me go first? Uh~~ah! Don't hug me..."

Hehe... it's okay to just touch her. But this time he hugged her and kissed her directly.

Her head was resting on his chest, and he was holding the back of her head with his hands, so she couldn't get away.

"I won't!" Lin Zhou bent down and leaned on her shoulder. His gentle voice filled her ears: "Didn't you say you would be with me forever? If that's the case, what are you afraid of?"

"I'm not scared, it's..." She lowered her head and hummed incoherently. She opened her mouth and quickly closed it again.

Opening her mouth in this situation would be like accidentally firing a gun. She could clearly feel Lin Zhou's frantic heartbeat and rapid breathing, and could feel his Adam's apple rolling up and down on his head. If...

"What is it?"

He suddenly exerted force on his hands and turned her face away. The next second, hot and warm lips covered hers...

The air around them seemed to freeze in an instant. Moonlight filtered through the window, illuminating their interlocked hands. She let go of all her guard and hugged him tightly. The only sound in the room was the ragged, tangled breaths of the two of them.

After a long time...

He let go of her and took her face in his hands, resting his forehead against hers.

"I thought..." he began, his voice low and hoarse, like the sound of the bass keys of a piano: "You'll keep me waiting for a long time!"

"Originally...that was indeed the plan!"

"Then...why did you change your mind?"

"Because... I don't want to wait anymore!"

She raised her head and met his gaze, her eyes shining like stars.

"Even though I really don't want to admit it, and I really want to hide it for a little longer, a little longer. I'll wait until one day when I really can't stand it anymore, and then I'll tell you. But what can I do? Today, I suddenly can't stand it anymore, I can't take it anymore!

I want to be like Gao Wen, surrounded by happiness every day when I wake up, with someone always supporting me. Even if he doesn't do anything, just being there, visible and tangible, can instantly calm my heart.

Whenever I think about this, your face, your figure, the words you wrote and the words you said will appear in my mind unconsciously. You say...what should I do?"

“…”

Lin Zhou looked at her quietly, listening to her speak these words word by word, his fingers gently stroked her cheeks, nose, eyebrows, and stayed in her hair, extremely gentle.

"After you get back, come with me to see my mom, okay?"

"ah?"

"Before getting married, you have to let her see what her daughter-in-law looks like!"

"ah?"

"The location and style of the wedding are all up to you..."

"Wait, wait, wait..."

Tian Xin was shocked and broke free from his arms: "You...what are you talking about?"

"Get married! Didn't you say, like Gao Wen and the others..."

"Well... there's no need to be so anxious!"

She turned around, covered her burning cheeks, and walked quickly to the door: "It's late, you should go to bed early, I... am going to sleep!"

"Are you going to...propose?"

Lin Zhou followed her in two steps and hugged her from behind: "We agreed to be together for a lifetime, so it's a lifetime. You can't escape my grasp anyway. Marriage...isn't it just a matter of time?"
