Chapter 93: Stamp it, stamp it, and you will be mine from now on...
In rural villages, it is very common for village women to occasionally quarrel and argue with each other. Just like when children play and fight, the elders will not join in. In the same way, the men in the village will not intervene when the women quarrel, because it does not look good.
Zhou Ye didn't know whether this counted as meddling, but he was angered by Gao's words at the time. He just asked Gao to apologize to A Shu. He didn't think he had gone too far, nor did he think there was anything wrong with standing up for A Shu.
So what if she is a woman? If a woman does something wrong, can't he, a man, argue with her?
Aunt He thought A Shu was weak, and so did Zhou Ye. If he hadn't protected her at the time, with A Shu's fragile body, if Gao had gone crazy and started beating people, A Shu would definitely not have been able to defeat her.
Zhou Ye frowned as he thought about it. If Ah Shu had an argument with someone when he wasn't around, would she have felt wronged?
Ah Shu would never fight with others, for she was afraid of encountering someone like Gao who was unreasonable.
Zhou Ye recalled Ah Shu crying because of Gao's anger.
He suddenly realized that he couldn't bear to see Ah Shu cry.
If I had to cry, it wouldn't be this kind of weeping of grievance, but rather...
Zhou Ye was suddenly stunned, frowned, and clenched his hands.
He didn't want to hide from A Shu anymore, he wanted to be honest with A Shu.
Thinking of this, Zhou Ye looked towards Ah Shu and saw that the mother, daughter and her two companions were no longer talkative as before, only saying something from time to time.
He suddenly strode over, his steps were fast and urgent, and the expression on his face was particularly serious. Anyone who saw him would think that something very important had happened.
The mother, daughter and their two companions gradually lowered their voices and looked at the man who suddenly came towards them in a hurry, not knowing why.
Zhou Ye stood in front of them, his hands on his legs, and suddenly bent down to He Guixiang, "Auntie, I want to talk to Ah Shu alone."
He Guixiang was stunned for a moment, then said "Oh" twice, "Okay, okay."
After hearing this, Zhou Ye turned to Lin Shu and asked in front of her surprised look: "A Shu, can I talk to you alone for a few words?"
Seeing Zhou Ye so serious, Lin Shu thought something was wrong. It turned out that he wanted to talk to her?
I first asked the only elder among the group, and after getting her consent, I asked her personally whether she should praise Zhou Ye for being sensible and polite?
Seeing her sister stunned, Lin Xiaopu chuckled and urged, "Sister, hurry up. Brother Aye wants to talk to you alone. You two can go to the fish pond next to the vegetable patch. There's water there, it's cool, and your voices can't be heard from this side of the courtyard."
He Guixiang also looked at her, with a smile in her eyes, "Go ahead."
Being stared at like this by her mother and sister, Lin Shu belatedly realized that she felt a little embarrassed.
You stinky Ah Ye, making such an "invitation" in front of your mother and sister is likely to make people think too much, okay?
Can't you wait until she is sitting alone and come over? Why do you have to choose this time?
The more Lin Shu thought about it, the more annoyed she became. "If you tell me to go, I have to go, right?"
Zhou Ye stared at her, looking extremely anxious. "Ah Shu, I have something very urgent to tell you. I can't wait any longer."
Lin Shu was suspicious. Seeing Zhou Ye looking so anxious, she couldn't help but wonder if she was overthinking it. Was it possible that Zhou Ye really had something serious that was inconvenient for him to tell A Niang and Xiao Pu?
She quickly got up and followed Zhou Ye out of the courtyard.
Zhou Ye took Lin Xiaopu's advice to heart and took Lin Shu along the stone path, bypassing the vegetable patch beside the courtyard and heading to the fish pond behind the house.
He walked forward with his head down, and after a few steps he looked back at her. He wanted to reach out and help her but held himself back. It looked very awkward.
Lin Shu: ...
It was her own vegetable patch, could she have stumbled while walking?
When they stood by the fish pond, Lin Shu watched the spring water gurgle from the long bamboo tube. The clear water reflected their figures. The woman was slender and graceful, while the man was tall and strong, making the woman look particularly petite. She waited for a long time, but Zhou Ye didn't speak.
She turned her head and looked over, meeting Zhou Ye's gaze. In just a short moment, he was no longer the calm and composed man he had been in the yard just now. He exuded a sense of restlessness from head to toe, and his gaze became hot, gently scalding her.
"Come on, isn't there something very urgent that you have to tell me right now?"
Zhou Ye usually kept half a step between them when talking to her, and this moment was no exception. This was a polite distance for conversations between opposite sexes, but he was caught off guard and moved closer. His tall and burly body was so close to her that they could smell each other's scent.
Lin Shu was slightly startled by his aggressive action.
"Ashu, didn't you ask me why I was avoiding you after I woke up this morning?" Zhou Ye just opened his mouth and found that his voice became slightly hoarse due to nervousness.
When Lin Shu heard this, she suddenly realized what Zhou Ye wanted to say to her. She looked a little uncomfortable and felt a little panicked.
Zhou Ye... wouldn't really say that, right?
How could I tell her such a thing? If I did, wouldn't that be blatant hooliganism?
Zhou Ye's Adam's apple rolled, a bead of sweat dripped down his temples. He swallowed lightly, his lips moving a few times. The draft that had been prepared in his mind suddenly became blank at this moment. In the end, all he could say was a dry sentence, "A Shu, I had a dream this morning. I dreamed of you."
It was extremely difficult to say this, his voice was tense and hoarse.
Lin Shu looked at him and saw that he had such difficulty in speaking. It wasn't hot yet, but he was sweating profusely. She wanted to call him a scoundrel, but for some reason she couldn't say it. She just said "oh" and her face slowly turned a light pink.
"B-and then?"
"Then, I did something very bad to you in my dream." The obstacle in Zhou Ye's throat seemed to be removed at once, and speaking was not so difficult anymore. It became much smoother, but his neck down was all red, and he didn't know whether it was out of shame or guilt.
"I feel sorry for you, that's why I'm avoiding you."
Lin Shu thought about how he was so angry today because of what Gao said, and how he insisted on forcing Gao to apologize to her. She suddenly didn't want to bother with him anymore.
"Oh, I see... I thought it was no big deal, just a dream."
Zhou Ye thought she didn't understand, so he explained in a low voice: "Ashu, this is not an ordinary dream. I dreamed that I kissed you on the mouth, and we were tightly entangled together..."
Lin Shu felt very embarrassed when she heard this. She thought she had become thick-skinned after living in the last days for several years, but she was still embarrassed by Zhou Ye's serious look as he explained.
Ahhh, this kind of thing should be known to each other. Why did that bastard Zhou Ye say it in front of her, and say it so directly!
"Ah Shu, I'm sorry, you can scold me or punch me a few times."
Upon hearing this, Lin Shu didn't hesitate to be polite with him. She clenched her fists and punched him in the chest. "Shut up! Shut up! How dare you say such a thing? Zhou Ye, are you ashamed?!"
This little bit of force didn't hurt Zhou Ye at all, he just endured it without moving.
He watched Lin Shu's reaction without blinking, and seeing that she was more ashamed than angry, his heart, which had been hanging in the air, slowly calmed down.
Of course he was ashamed, too embarrassed to see anyone and too embarrassed to speak of it.
But he had a plan in mind, so all these embarrassing emotions could be put aside for the time being.
"Ashu, are you still angry?" Zhou Ye asked.
Lin Shu retracted her hand that was pounding his chest like a hammer and gave him a soft look. "What's the point of me getting angry? Can you control your dreams and stop me from appearing in yours?"
Zhou Ye was stunned when he heard this.
If he understood correctly, what Ah Shu said... could he still dream about her in the future? Even if it was okay to do this kind of thing to her in his dreams?
Thinking of the scenes in his dream, his Adam's apple rolled unconsciously.
In fact, he is not that dull, he can feel it.
Ah Shu seemed to like him a little, but that kind of like...
Not enough, he thought to himself.
"Ashu, I remember you said you didn't want to get married in this life." Zhou Ye said.
After Lin Shu had beaten someone, the embarrassment she had felt earlier had subsided a lot. Hearing this, she crossed her arms over her chest and raised her eyebrows. "Yes, that's what I said. For me, eating and drinking are the most important things. Everything else depends on my mood."
Zhou Ye then continued, "But you also said that if Uncle Lin and Aunt He really don't trust you, you should find a man you like to marry into the family."
Lin Shu looked at him staring at her with burning eyes, her eyes turned, and she nodded with a smile, "Yes, that's what I said. What's wrong? What do you want to say?"
"Ashu, do you like me?" Zhou Ye asked.
Lin Shu pretended to hesitate, and after a while she said, "It's okay."
Although it was a casual remark, Zhou Ye knew that she was responding to his words. Ah Shu was such a smart woman, how could she not know what he meant.
"Ashu, if you want to get married in the future, can you marry me?" Zhou Ye looked at her with an expression that was rarely serious and solemn.
Lin Shu couldn't help but start to reflect.
Did she look like a scumbag, or was Zhou Ye's comprehension ability really that poor? The reason she said that at the market was because she was irritated by his constant attempt to distance himself from her.
She had already kissed him on her own initiative, so how could she wait until later?
Zhou Ye's heart sank slightly when he saw her silence. He pursed his lips and suddenly said, "Ah Shu, I like you."
Lin Shu looked stunned.
He remembered that Zhou Ye was a dull person who could not be beaten into submission even with a stick, so why did his words today become more and more rude and reckless?
Humph, he even dared to tell her about his dream in front of her. He is not a reserved person at all.
She felt as if she had been deceived. Zhou Ye didn't want him to look so honest and harmless.
Look, how smart she is! She even made a reservation for her fiancé in advance.
Lin Shu was still not giving a definite answer, and Zhou Ye was getting anxious. "A Shu..."
"Aye." Lin Shu sighed, deciding not to bother Zhou Ye. "I took the initiative to kiss you, don't you understand? Not later, but right now. I want to talk about love with you. You are so stupid."
When Zhou Ye heard this, he turned into a stone statue on the spot and didn't move for a long time.
After a while, he asked in disbelief, "Ah Shu, you said we are..."
Lin Shu beckoned him, and the moment he lowered his head, she suddenly grabbed his neck and pushed him down, pouting her lips and kissing him hard on the lips with a "bo" sound. She smiled and said, "Just stamp it, and you'll be mine from now on!"
