Chapter 387 You Have to Take Responsibility

The conversation only took a few minutes.

Xie Tu waited in the corridor not far away, turning to look quietly out the window.

There was a noise behind me.

She came out alone, and seemed to be in low spirits.

Xie Tu remained expressionless and asked nothing. He walked to her side and asked in a low voice, "Go back to rest or go shopping with them?"

Because we were so close, those words were whispered in my ear.

Yun Zhao instinctively raised his head to meet his gaze.

When our eyes meet, we can clearly see our own reflection in each other's dark eyes.

Those dark eyes were as deep as ever, like burning flames, giving her the illusion that she would be burned.

I didn't say anything inside, but when I came out and faced him, I felt inexplicably guilty.

"Didn't we say we were going to see the strawberries in the yard?" Yun Zhao replied, head down.

A soft laugh came from above. "Alright, let's go over first, and have them pick up Bai Yu this afternoon."

Aren't you busy?

"No matter how busy you are, you must take a break."

Xie Tu walked out side by side with her. "For lunch, I'll make steamed pork ribs, spicy sliced ​​pork, and braised pork."

After going downstairs.

Xie Tu greeted his teammates and drove away with Yun Zhao amidst the ambiguous gazes of a group of people.

*

The familiar courtyard.

Xie Tu led her through the fence gate and around to the backyard to look at the strawberries.

Behind the stone table, in a small patch of land, strawberry plants are arranged in a neat and orderly fashion, their emerald green leaves gleaming in the sunlight.

He tried to salvage the situation when he returned last night.

But the time is still short.

The strawberries hidden under the green leaves are all white, and they are even more noticeable in the daytime.

"Without regular fertilization, its growth rate cannot match the carefully nurtured results from the research institute. It is estimated that it will not mature until next month."

Xie Tu let go of her hand, picked up the tools that were placed aside, squatted down and carefully checked again for any withered leaves.

The little bluebird grew impatient with the meeting and returned to the realm of the mind during the meeting.

Seeing something interesting, it popped out again, curiously wandering around.

Seeing this, the fire phoenix also came out, and the two phoenixes soared around in the sky. After a while, they flew to the valley outside to play.

Yun Zhao walked into the strawberry field.

The dismantled tarpaulin hadn't been cleaned up yet; it was piled up in a corner, its wrinkles layered upon each other, resembling a small hill.

Xie Tu was focused on clearing away the fallen leaves. Sunlight shone on him, outlining his tall and straight figure, and the lines of his profile looked particularly resolute in the light and shadow.

He seems to take everything he does very seriously and responsibly.

Yun Zhao suddenly lost her interest in the visit, thinking about Minister Duan's words.

marry?

The two have already been intimate, shouldn't she take responsibility for him?

But could we wait a little longer, at least until we find Dad...

"team leader."

"Um?"

Yun Zhao suddenly got stuck.

She always says what she thinks.

He wanted to tell his own thoughts, but found his throat dry and he couldn't utter a single word.

Xie Tu thought she wanted to go inside to rest, and said, "Wait a few minutes, I'll be right there."

The small strawberry patch, with only a few strawberries planted, was cleared away in just a few minutes.

Xie Tu walked to the pool, washed his hands, and glanced at the time.

It's just 9:30.

It's too early to make lunch now.

He turned back, naturally took her hand, and led her around to the front door to go inside and rest.

She has her own special slippers now in the house.

Yun Zhao changed her shoes and looked up; the room was just as she had last visited.

Clean and tidy.

He must have cleaned it up when he got back last night.

The curtains were still drawn, making the view somewhat dim.

The door closed.

All sounds were blocked out.

The dim light cast a hazy filter over the surroundings, blurring the furnishings in the room, but making the outlines of the two people appear even softer.

The two stood in the dimly lit room, their eyes meeting unexpectedly, and the air seemed to freeze for a moment.

All that remained were the sounds of their breathing and heartbeats.

Xie Tu leaned forward slightly, his unique scent quietly entering Yun Zhao's nostrils.

Yun Zhao's heart suddenly raced as he watched him get closer and closer.

I felt a sensation on my lips.

More unrestrained and carefree than ever before.

Their breaths mingled, and Yun Zhao could feel his breathing suddenly become heavier. His breath filled her lips and ears, as if it wanted to engulf her completely.

She was mesmerized by his kiss.

She tried to speak, but he took advantage of her vulnerability and they became even more deeply entangled.

Xie Tu shielded her head and slammed her against the wall, gradually losing control and becoming increasingly violent.

In summer, people wear light clothing.

In no time at all.

Both of them were disheveled.

When he was almost out of breath, Yun Zhao pressed his hand against his chest in silent protest, and he finally stopped.

No, it didn't stop.

A burning, scalding sensation followed on his neck, but he simply moved his position.

The spot where she had been kissed trembled slightly.

The sensation was so clear, hot, and moist, almost burning her skin.

Yun Zhao was held tightly in his arms, panting as he whispered, "Just now, Minister Duan asked me if I wanted to consider my marriage."

Xie Tu's Adam's apple bobbed, and he gave a soft "hmm" without stopping his actions.

"Did Minister Duan also ask you?" Yun Zhao asked with difficulty.

Xie Tu wrapped one arm around her waist, gently rubbing against her fair skin, and hummed in agreement again.

A hoarse voice sounded in her ear, "I said I can't make the decision on my own, I have to ask you."

As he spoke, his lips pressed against the skin of her neck, his breath washing over her.

"If you say yes, we'll register today; if you say no, I can wait."

Anyway, she can't escape now.

With a wall behind him, Yun Zhao had nowhere to retreat, so his expression was obscured. He said anxiously, "I... don't plan on that for now."

She felt it was necessary to make things clear to him.

At least let him know what you're thinking.

"I want to know where my father is, and some things about me..."

Xie Tu lowered his head and touched her lips again, reluctant to part, "I know everything."

Despite his remarkable self-control, he couldn't help himself and couldn't bear to let go of the person in his arms.

We've spent so much time together.

Even if he doesn't know something, he can guess a little about it.

“But I’ve done everything I could, and you’ll have to take responsibility for me sooner or later.” Xie Tu said this with a straight face.

Yun Zhao: "..."

"I didn't say I wouldn't take responsibility..."

"As long as they are responsible."

Yun Zhao tried to explain, but she was interrupted before she could finish.

Xie Tu's eyes were filled with laughter.

Yun Zhao stared at him blankly, forgetting to speak.

Xie Tu tilted his head down, his nose touching hers, and wrapped one arm around her waist, gently stroking it. "But now, my mental state seems a bit unstable, and I need deep counseling."

Now……
