Chapter 43 He kissed his lips
Chapter Forty-Three: He Kissed His Lips
Meeting his slightly furrowed brows, Lin Su thought it was all over; Zhou Yunqi was definitely going to be jealous this time.
But things didn't go as she expected. He only glanced at her, then gave her a normal look, glancing at Cheng Zetao before finally turning his gaze back to Lin Su, smiling gently: "Susu, who is this?"
Lin Su paused for a moment, then introduced blankly, "This is my childhood friend Cheng Zetao, and this is Zhou Yunqi, the farm manager when I was a sent-down youth."
Zhou Yunqi: "So you're her childhood friend. She's mentioned you before."
Cheng Zetao looked at the man in front of him, who was taller, more handsome, and more mature than him, and straightened his back as if unwilling to admit defeat: "You're from the same farm?"
Lin Su nodded: "Later I left the Sixth Branch Farm and went to the Seventh Branch Farm. He was the head of the Seventh Branch Farm."
Cheng Zetao: "So that's how it is."
Zhou Yunqi, standing to the side, said calmly, "She was often sick when she was in the sixth division, but her health only improved when she came to my seventh division."
Not to be outdone, Cheng Zetao asked with concern, "Why didn't you mention it when you wrote to me? No wonder you stopped writing later. What illness did you have?"
Lin Su paused for a moment, then murmured, "It's a common illness, and it's already cured."
"Also, where exactly are you living now?" Cheng Zetao had a guess; surely you weren't living with this man.
Zhou Yunqi said, "There wasn't enough room at her home, so I found her a place where she can live peacefully and recover her health."
"So that's how it is."
“She has no relatives or friends, so it is my duty to take care of her.”
They were exchanging words back and forth, but Lin Su seemed somewhat lost in thought.
Zhou Yunqi was practically the empress, giving off an aura that no matter how much fun you had, how many childhood friends you had, or how many ambiguous relationships you had, home was always here with him, and you would always have to come home with him.
Cheng Zetao probably found it boring and said it was time to go home. Lin Su waved goodbye and glanced at Zhou Yunqi again.
His eyes hardened, and Lin Su asked, puzzled, "Why did you come here?"
"What else could it be? Of course, I came to find you." He glanced at Cheng Zetao's retreating figure. "Your childhood friend likes to get physical?"
Lin Su: "He said there was spider silk in my hair, so he brushed it off for me."
The man's gaze fell on her hair, and he muttered, "A little trick."
Lin Su stopped dwelling on these things and smiled as she showed Zhou Yunqi the jade bracelet on her wrist: "I got it back."
He looked surprised: "So smoothly?"
"I was lucky today. Gu Xinping brought his girlfriend home. I said a few unpleasant things, and my stepmother was afraid that I would ruin things, so she had to give the bracelet back to me and send me away."
He laughed: "You're quite clever."
Lin Su pursed her lips: "Are you going to visit Grandpa Gu?"
"Let's not go, let's go get a free meal."
"Free meal? Where can we freeload?"
"It's Grandma Xu Yaodong's 80th birthday, and they're discussing having a few tables set up at a restaurant."
Lin Su had met Xu Yaodong's family before, so she happily said, "Okay, okay."
After a while, he wondered again, "Why didn't he mention it to me?"
"It was decided last night, and I called my uncle's house first thing this morning."
"Then we should give a red envelope."
He said, "I'll give it to you; you're someone I brought with me."
The restaurant was bustling with activity. Among the guests were their relatives and some neighbors.
Lin Su followed Zhou Yunqi to the birthday celebrant, gave the old man a red envelope, and said a few words.
The old man looked Lin Su up and down, not recognizing her at first, and subconsciously said, "Xiao Zhou, is this your boyfriend? He's really handsome."
Lin Su smiled and said, "Grandma, don't you recognize me? I'm Su Su. I visited your home during the Chinese New Year."
The old man's mind was somewhat sluggish, and it took him a long time to remember.
Xu's mother continued to express her gratitude, thanking Zhou Yunqi for taking care of Xu Yaodong.
Xu Yaodong's younger brother had been reselling things, and now someone asked him if he wanted to open his own general store. Xu Yaohua replied, "I don't have the capital. You guys won't even give me any help."
They were seated at the head table, and people kept coming over to toast them. Although Zhou Yunqi looked serious and a bit aloof, he was actually quite good at socializing when needed.
After finishing her meal, Lin Su went to the restroom. When she returned, people had already started leaving, and a few people were chatting with an elderly man who looked like a hermit.
Lin Su was curious and went over to listen.
That person knew a little about physiognomy and fortune telling, and was talking to someone about their marriage and future.
Lin Su suddenly remembered that Zhou Yunqi's aunt had said that a master fortune teller had told him that he was a person with few relatives and friends...
She was skeptical of these claims, since very few people could make accurate predictions.
However, as soon as she leaned closer, the man glanced at her and frowned.
Lin Su felt something was off and asked awkwardly, "What's wrong?"
"Young lady, how old are you?"
Lin Su said, "I'll be nineteen soon."
That's great.
Lin Su was even more puzzled: "What's wrong?"
Her strange words drew the attention of several people around her, who said, "She's so beautiful, is she facing some kind of calamity?"
The man said, "Logically speaking, he shouldn't live past eighteen."
"Don't talk nonsense, he's standing right in front of you."
"That's why I said yes." The man nodded. "Those who survive a great calamity are bound to have good fortune in the future."
Lin Su's heart sank.
Although he smiled, his feelings were actually very complicated.
Zhou Yunqi nudged her back. Lin Su turned around, smelled the alcohol on him, and asked, "Are you drunk?"
He stood firm, and his voice was clear: "I only had a few drinks, it's nothing serious."
He looked around and asked, "Listening to fortune telling here?"
Lin Su nodded.
The fortune teller observed Zhou Yunqi with keen eyes and exclaimed, "Hey, didn't you want to see a face of wealth and nobility? This is a face with the bearing of a dragon and phoenix. In the future, he will not only be rich, but also have fame and status."
Everyone turned their attention to Zhou Yunqi again.
Zhou Yunqi didn't seem to care much about these things, and just chuckled, "Then I'll take your good wishes with me."
The fortune teller asked, "Also, could you please tell me how your parents are doing?"
Zhou Yunqi's expression darkened: "Very good, they will reunite in the heavens."
Everyone gasped in surprise, and the fortune teller became even more smug: "See, I wasn't wrong, was I? I could tell he had a weak bond with his parents."
"No, you didn't say that either."
"Why didn't you mention it? I specifically brought up his parents because I noticed something was going on, which is why I asked them on purpose."
"Don't talk nonsense, show me when I'll get rich."
"..."
Zhou Yunqi didn't care about any of that, and only said to Lin Su, "Don't mind it, just listen to the ones that sound good."
Lin Su nodded.
They sat back down at the main table. Xu Yaodong's mother said, "That was a great-uncle. He used to learn these things from a master. During the Cultural Revolution, his stall was smashed, but every time there was a banquet, people would still gather around him and talk about these things."
Another person said, "But what he said is quite accurate."
Another person said, "You've all been told he's destined for wealth and good fortune, why don't you ask him more questions?"
Zhou Yunqi said, "I won't ask anymore. No matter how rich or blessed you are, you still have to earn it yourself."
"Too."
...
When Zhou Yunqi returned to his dormitory around 3 p.m., he felt a little dizzy and lay down on the bed.
Lin Su wrung out a towel and wiped his face clean.
He wasn't asleep yet. He raised his hand to touch her cheek and asked, "Are you bothered by what that old man said about you not living past eighteen?"
Lin Su shook her head: "I don't care."
If she hadn't transmigrated, the original owner wouldn't have survived that night, and she herself experienced the feeling of being resurrected from the dead.
Zhou Yunqi's palms were burning hot as he pressed them against her small face: "Then why aren't you happy?"
Lin Su asked, "If I hadn't been transferred to the Seventh Division and had stayed in the Sixth Division, would we have met?"
"Yes," he said with certainty. "As I said, Grandpa Gu mentioned you to me, and I was planning to visit you at the time."
Lin Su paused for a moment, then asked, "Will you still pursue me?"
He laughed, a hint of intoxication in his voice: "I'm the one drinking, so why are you the one who's not sober?"
Perhaps because the fortune teller had predicted his future, she was indeed somewhat concerned, fearing that Zhou Yunqi was really almost forty years old, enjoying wealth and glory, yet still alone.
But then again, she felt it wouldn't happen. From the moment she transmigrated, their fates had changed. They would be together, and they would have a future.
Seeing the confusion on her face, Zhou Yunqi sighed, hugged her, and let her lie on top of him, stroking her back repeatedly: "Of course I will. As long as I meet you, I will fall in love with you and pursue you relentlessly."
Lin Su: "Really?"
"Really, I promise."
His body was burning hot, and Lin Su broke out in a sweat, but perhaps she wasn't bothered by it; she simply wanted to hear these comforting words.
No one dislikes hearing sweet words from the boy they like, whether it's compliments, warm and tender words, or even embarrassing remarks when he's being cheeky. It all brings joy to her heart.
Lin Su's emotions were effectively calmed down, and she quieted down.
After a while, he seemed to remember something and asked, "But I still don't know what kind of girl you like. I asked that question a long time ago."
This time, he did not respond.
The hands that were on her shoulders and back also slipped away limply.
Lin Su looked up and saw that the person had already fallen asleep.
Uh, this topic is probably going to get banned.
Whenever the topic comes up, it's either her or him sleeping.
After the ice was delivered, the room cooled down considerably, and he slept even more soundly. Lin Su didn't go to sleep; instead, she took a small stool, sat by the ice, and kept checking on him as he slept.
I examined his eyes and nose closely, and finally my gaze settled on his lips.
His thin lips parted slightly, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
It was as if he was seducing her.
I had thought for a long time that kissing him would feel wonderful.
In that instant, she wanted to steal a kiss from him.
But after thinking about it, I decided against it; he reeked of alcohol.
It was her first kiss, after all; she can't just give it away like that.
But everyone has desires. Once a thought arises, it's like planting a demon in one's heart. If the goal isn't achieved, one's mind will be uneasy.
It was already late when Zhou Yunqi got up. After finishing his meal, he took a shower and changed into clean clothes, feeling refreshed.
Later, when he was about to leave on the night bus, Lin Su followed behind him.
As she was about to open the door, she turned to look at the person clinging to his clothes. Previously, she had at most followed behind him and seen him out.
The man couldn't help but laugh: "Reluctant to part with it?"
Lin Su looked at him pitifully and nodded.
He sighed, "Then I'll stay?"
Lin Su didn't want to keep him; she just wanted to kiss him, so she remained silent.
When this person gets sulky, he really can't figure out her little mood. He could only stop by the door and hug her.
As he held her, he simply lifted her up, like carrying a child, and carried her inside with one hand: "If you can't bear to part with me, but don't want me to stay, then I'll take you back to your room. Don't come out to see me off anymore, otherwise I won't be able to leave either."
Lin Su wrapped her arms around his neck, stared at his thin, soft lips, and swallowed hard.
The moment the thought crossed her mind, she leaned in and pressed her lips to his thin lips.
The man, completely unprepared, widened his eyes involuntarily. Only after feeling the softness on her lips did he realize that this girl had actually ambushed him with a kiss!
He stopped and leaned against the dining table, letting her soft lips capture his own. He cooperated by pouting slightly.
Hot breath filled the air. The man closed his eyes, held her tightly, and tried to slowly savor it all. Unfortunately, her kisses were superficial, lingering only on his lips. When he tried to return the kiss, his lips met emptiness; her soft lips had already left.
Immediately afterwards, his hands were empty.
Lin Su grabbed his arm, jumped off the ground, and then quickly went into the bedroom, closing the door behind her.
"I'm going to sleep." A flustered and unnatural voice came from inside.
Zhou Yunqi: "..."
Tsk.
