"You little brat, do you think you can beat me? I'll kill and eat you tomorrow!"
The hen clucked again; it sensed the humans' ill intentions—
Lu Zhixia disinfected Zhou An'an's wound with iodine solution.
"Try not to get it wet when you get back. Once the wound has healed, you can get it wet."
"I knew even if you didn't say it, but I didn't expect Xiao Wang to suck blood from my finger. Isn't he afraid of getting dirty?" Zhou An'an looked at her finger and couldn't help but recall the scene from just now.
The tingling sensation made her incredibly shy; it was the first time she had ever been so close to a man, given her generally outgoing personality.
Whether it was her childhood friends from the compound or her male classmates from school, she basically treated them all like brothers.
People had told her before that someone liked her, but she just laughed it off.
Lu Zhixia went to pour two glasses of water and returned, casually placing the glasses on the kang (heated brick bed).
Do you have feelings for him?
Zhou An'an had just picked up the cup when she put it back. If Lu Zhixia had asked her that before, she definitely would have said...
[How could he possibly like me and him as brothers!]
But now she's uncertain. Thinking back to the time Xiao Wang saved her, the flutter in her heart at that moment was undeniable.
"It seems you're interested in him. Have you considered developing a relationship with him?"
"How should we develop?" Zhou An'an asked.
Lu Zhixia took a sip of water and said, "You two should spend some time together. If you feel it's a good match, then you can meet each other's parents. If both sets of parents feel it's a good match, then you can discuss marriage."
Zhou An'an: "I have feelings for him, but it's not enough to get married. You know, with the nature of my job, who would want to marry a woman like him?"
Lu Zhixia said, "Instead of guessing, let's be open about it. That way, whether it works out or not won't affect either of you."
Zhou An'an wasn't one to mince words. Rather than waiting for someone else to ask, he decided to ask himself. So he picked up the cup, drank the water in it in one gulp, jumped off the kang (heated brick bed), and strode towards the next room.
Lu Zhixia quickly followed, and as she lifted the curtain, she heard Zhou An'an say...
"Wang Wei! Would you like to be with me?"
Wow, that's amazing!
Lu Zhixia opened the curtain and saw that Xiao Wang's cup had fallen to the ground, and he stood there dumbfounded.
He's like a wooden stake. Isn't this guy usually quite talkative?
Why do you act like a mute at crucial moments?
Xiao Wang was completely stunned, feeling his body stiffen and unable to open his mouth no matter how hard he tried.
“If it’s okay, it’s okay. If it’s not okay, just say so. We’re still friends and brothers, no need to hide anything. Besides, I’m not the kind of person who can give up my career. That means after we get married, I’ll still be working in the law enforcement team.” Zhou An’an paused to catch his breath before continuing.
"I definitely can't take care of things at home, and besides, I'm not a very good cook. I can only wash clothes, not sew them, so don't expect me to make clothes." She lowered her head, thinking about what else she hadn't said.
Xiao Wang held her hand and said, "You don't have to do anything with me. I will take care of you as much as possible. If you want to work in the law enforcement team, I won't object. I will also work in the army until I am discharged!"
Zhou An'an looked into his eyes and asked, "If I don't want to have children, will you still stay with me?"
Xiao Wang exclaimed excitedly, "If you don't want to have children, that's your right. Besides, I have quite a few brothers and sisters; they can have the children!"
Zhou An'an thought about how she might be transferred to live with her father in the future, so she continued talking to Xiao Wang.
"Furthermore, I am my parents' only child, and I will definitely stay by their side to take care of them in the future. Although I am working here now, I might be transferred back one day."
Xiao Wang said affectionately, "Then I'll go back with you, okay?"
Lu Zhixia pulled Gu Lingxiao out; they didn't need to hear what she was about to say.
After seeing the person leave, Zhou An'an reached out and pressed down on his shoulder, making him sit on the kang (a heated brick bed).
"Are you serious? You're not just trying to fool me or spout nonsense with me, are you?"
"It couldn't be more true, I wouldn't lie to you!"
"What if my dad—"
“Your dad can ask for anything. Oh, and I can be a live-in son-in-law, and the children can take your surname!” Xiao Wang blurted out.
Zhou An'an was stunned. How could this guy be so nice?
From a man's perspective, how much courage does it take for him to be willing to become a live-in son-in-law?
