Chapter 215 215 Has Something to Say
Under the camphor tree, Shang Ziming and Su Xiao stood facing each other.
Su Xiao's face flushed red, and she lowered her head without saying a word.
Shang Ziming reached out and gently lifted her head. "I'm about to say something, aren't you looking at me?"
Suddenly, their eyes met; one had deep, unfathomable eyes, while the other's gaze flickered.
Su Xiao suggested tentatively, "Actually, I think we're pressed for time today, so how about we do it another time? Um, Grandpa Yang and the others should be all packed up by now, right? Shall we go check on them?"
Shang Ziming listened to her words and looked at her, his eyes fixed on her. His originally happy expression turned somewhat dejected because of her rejection.
"So, are you going to reject me?" he asked in a low, sorrowful voice.
“No,” Su Xiao immediately retorted, raising her voice and speaking seriously, “You didn’t say anything, so why would I refuse? I just feel, I feel…”
Su Xiao scratched his head in frustration, unsure of what adjective to use.
"You feel it's not the right time yet?" Shang Ziming answered for her. In fact, he could always sense from the letters that something was missing between them. They were so close to breaking through the barrier, yet it felt like a chasm had been drawn, difficult to cross.
Therefore, he has always been cautious and dared not take any rash actions.
"Yes, yes!" Su Xiao looked at him with delight, echoing him repeatedly, her eyes sparkling, clearly agreeing with the viewpoint.
Shang Ziming's eyes were deep and dark as he stared intently at her, as if he wanted to devour her whole.
Su Xiao instantly felt a chill run down her spine, and her heart pounded wildly.
"What...what do you want to do?"
The little girl unconsciously took half a step back.
This action thoroughly enraged Shang Ziming. He took a step forward and was already in front of Su Xiao, grabbing her and pulling her into his arms tightly.
Su Xiao was startled, her body stiffened, and she dared not move.
Shang Ziming noticed her stiffness, relaxed slightly, gently patted her back, and rested his large head against her neck, saying word by word, "Little girl, are you trying to torture me to death?"
Su Xiao's heart skipped a beat, and she denied it in a muffled voice, "I didn't."
Shang Ziming released her, took a step back, but still held her shoulders with both hands. Looking at her, he said seriously, "I'll give you another six months. When we meet next time, I won't let go again."
Su Xiao immediately nodded, "Okay."
Half a year, it would be good to have half a year to rest. After half a year, I will probably have to prepare for the college entrance examination. Hmm, it is a time when I can't be distracted. So let's talk about it when the time comes.
Su Xiao was making plans in her mind, while Shang Ziming could only sigh helplessly at her absent-minded look.
What can he do when he encounters a little turtle that's curled up in its shell and refuses to come out? He can only wait patiently and coax it to stick its head out.
“Write me a letter every five days, no less than three pages long, and call me every ten days.” Shang Ziming released her and began to make his demands.
"This, this is too much..." Su Xiao weakly retorted, "Besides, it's not easy to make a phone call, it's expensive, and it's inconvenient."
"Hmm?" Shang Ziming frowned slightly.
"Okay, I'll write it down." Su Xiao immediately backed down, but still added, "I'll only answer the phone."
Shang Ziming narrowed his eyes. "Okay."
Seeing that he had agreed, Su Xiao smiled.
Looking at her smiling face, Shang Ziming's eyes and tone softened. "Don't be afraid of trouble. I think we still lack communication and time to get along, otherwise..."
