Born as a space beast, Shi Chu possessed a strong sense of self-preservation and was inherently selfish. She revelled in luxury, indulging in fine food and clothing. She rejected phrases like “su...
Chapter 1442: Refusing to be Balanced (17)
Zhou Zhan felt a little embarrassed when the dean pointed out his thoughts, but he still nodded calmly: "She doesn't know yet."
"Since you have such an intention, then hurry up. If you keep dragging it out, someone else might take advantage of Xiaochu first." The dean said with a look of disappointment, "You won't even have a place to cry when the time comes."
"I don't know whether she likes me or not." Zhou Zhan was not very confident. He really couldn't tell whether Tang Shichu liked him or not, so he hesitated and didn't dare to express his feelings.
"Of course she likes it." The dean rolled his eyes at him and said, "It's true that those who are involved are confused but those who are not involved can see things more clearly. What was she like before when she didn't care about you? Even though you took care of her a lot, she was grateful, but she was polite to you but not close enough. But after coming back this time, didn't her attitude towards you change? She even joked with you and acted like a spoiled child. She wasn't polite at all."
"Isn't this a sign that she treats me as a good friend?" Zhou Zhan was a little confused.
"Good friends can become boyfriend and girlfriend if they work hard, right?" the dean said confidently, "You try again, maybe it will work out, but if you don't make a move, she will be snatched away by someone else. I don't believe that Xiaochu will not be pursued by anyone after she goes to college."
When Zhou Zhan heard what the dean said, he remembered that when he went to see Tang Shichu before, he happened to run into her talking to male classmates several times. At that time, he didn't think anything of it and just thought it was just ordinary communication between classmates, but now when he thinks about it, those male classmates all blushed when facing Tang Shichu. Zhou Zhan then realized that they were obviously male classmates who had a good impression of Tang Shichu.
Zhou Zhan immediately felt a sense of urgency. He said to the dean with a serious face, "I won't delay any further."
"That's good. Haha. You can be with Xiaochu in the future and bring your children to see me." The dean was so happy to hear his words that he couldn't stop smiling.
Zhou Zhanjun's blush deepened, but he still said shyly, "There will be such a day."
"Then I'll wait..." The dean laughed and patted Zhou Zhan on the shoulder.
Tang Shichu came out with his luggage. Hearing the dean's laughter, he asked, "Dean, what were you talking about with Zhou Zhan? Why are you so happy?"
"That's a good thing." The dean waved at her.
"What good news?" Tang Shichu asked.
"Go ask Xiaozhan." The dean looked at her teasingly.
The two said goodbye to the dean and left the hospital. Tang Shichu asked Zhou Zhan, "What did you say to the dean just now?"
Zhou Zhan coughed lightly and said, "Let's talk about what happened to us at school."
"What's there to be happy about in our school? And you say it's a good thing?" Tang Shichu looked puzzled.
Zhou Zhan looked at her beautiful eyebrows that were almost twisted into knots and said, "I'll tell you when I get back to school."
"Ah? Do you have to be so mysterious? Can't you tell me now?" Tang Shichu's curiosity was not satisfied, so he looked at him eagerly.
Zhou Zhan hardened his heart. Now was not a good time to confess, so he shook his head and said, "Be good, I'll tell you when we get back. Now is not the right time."
Seeing that pretending to be pitiful didn't make him compromise, Tang Shichu glared at him angrily, shook him off and ran for security check. Zhou Zhan hurriedly followed.
Fortunately, the two of them bought tickets together, otherwise they might not be able to find each other after getting on the high-speed train.
"Don't be angry." Zhou Zhan said softly, looking at Tang Shichu who was still unhappy.
"Um, who is angry? I'm just a little sleepy. I got up too early today." Tang Shichu said. The children in the orphanage get up early, so of course she couldn't sleep in.
"Then do you want to sleep on my shoulder? I'll wake you up when the time comes." Zhou Zhan gestured to her to lean on his shoulder.
Tang Shichu looked at his shoulders and slowly leaned on them. She thought that since he looked so thin, his shoulders must be all bony, but she didn't expect that his shoulders were quite broad. Although he was thin, he still had flexible and strong muscles, and it was quite comfortable to lean on him.
Tang Shichu thought so in his mind and soon fell asleep.
Zhou Zhan carefully turned over, allowing Tang Shichu's head to bury deeper in his neck, allowing her to sleep more comfortably.
Tang Shichu's fragrant hair brushed against the skin of his neck, causing him to tremble. Her soft breathing sounded in his ears, one after another, making his heartbeat gradually synchronize with her breathing.
Zhou Zhan clearly felt the warmth and softness of Tang Shichu's cheek on his shoulder. He couldn't help but turn his head slightly and look at Tang Shichu at his neck.
Tang Shichu's usually clear eyes were tightly closed, his long, curled eyelashes were motionless, and under his straight nose were full, rosy lips...
As Zhou Zhan looked at her, he felt in a trance that those lips were particularly alluring, and he couldn't help but want to kiss them. When he was about to touch her lips, Zhou Zhan suddenly woke up and regained his sanity.
After realizing that he was attracted to the sleeping Tang Shichu, Zhou Zhan's face immediately became hot, and he felt a little nervous and at a loss. He was annoyed at how he was like a pervert, actually wanting to take advantage of Tang Shichu while she was asleep, and he even doubted his own willpower...
Zhou Zhan, whose heartbeat was out of control, quickly pressed his chest, trying to calm himself down, but he couldn't stay calm with the person he loved leaning so closely against him.
With a helpless sigh, Zhou Zhan was sure that he had really fallen for Tang Shichu. He looked at the person who was sleeping soundly and knew nothing with soft eyes, raised his hand, and gently pressed his fingers on Tang Shichu's lips.
Tang Shichu moved but did not wake up. Zhou Zhan held her and said softly, "Go to sleep, it's not time yet." So Tang Shichu continued to sleep peacefully.
Zhou Zhan bent down and kissed her between the eyebrows, then hugged her tightly, allowing her to sleep more peacefully.
Tang Shichu woke up to Zhou Zhan's gentle call. She slept too deeply and didn't react for a while. She just stared at Zhou Zhan blankly.
"We've arrived. It's time to go." Zhou Zhan rubbed her temples, held her hand with one hand, and picked up their luggage with the other. Fortunately, the luggage was not much and he could still lift it.
Tang Shichu was led by him for a few steps before he completely woke up. He hurriedly wanted to take his luggage and said, "Sorry, I was confused after sleeping. I will take the luggage myself."
"No, I can take it." Zhou Zhan was a little disappointed when his hand that was holding hers was released.
Tang Shichu was unaware of what was happening. She had no idea of Zhou Zhan's inner struggles. She snatched her luggage from him carelessly and said, "Do your own thing. How can I trouble you?"
Zhou Zhan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He still wanted to show his gentlemanly manners in front of Tang Shichu.
