Chapter 119: In this life, it will only be you
[Sister, please confess your feelings! We want to see something epic!]
Epic visuals? What does that mean?
Su Zhenzhen didn't immediately grasp the meaning.
Until a picture was posted in the live chat.
Su Zhenzhen's face turned bright red instantly.
"Zhenzhen, what's wrong?" Hensheng asked with concern. "Is it because the wind is too strong today?"
It's already summer, what kind of wind can make someone blush?
Su Zhenzhen felt increasingly embarrassed looking at Hensheng. Why could such pictures be sent in the cross-time and space live stream? Didn't the administrators review them?
"Cough cough, I'm fine."
Su Zhenzhen waved her hand, trying to cover her embarrassment with body language, "Um, can I ask you something? Why do you want to marry me? Or rather, why do you like me?"
Su Zhenzhen has always been a straightforward person; she says what she thinks and is determined to find out the truth on the spot.
Being hesitant and indecisive isn't my style, and besides, I'm genuinely curious.
When exactly did Hensheng fall in love with her?
I'm clearly just an ordinary person.
“Zhenzhen.” Hensheng looked directly into Su Zhenzhen’s eyes.
“From the first day I saw you, I felt you were very different. You were the first woman I had ever met in my life. You were also the first person to hit me. At first, I might have been attached to you because in my long twenty years, I had never met anyone other than my father.”
"Later, when I entered the city, I met many people on the road, and I felt more and more that you were different from them. You are like the lamp in your hand, which can illuminate my whole being, whether it is day or night. I can't say for sure when I fell in love with you. Maybe it was love at first sight, or maybe it was love that grew over time, but I know that in this life, it will only be you."
Hensheng's heartfelt confession drew applause and cheers from the live chat.
[Good, good, good! As expected of the male lead I've chosen, he's got a silver tongue!]
Whether it's love at first sight or love that grows over time, I know that you're the only one for me in this life. That's why the ancients were the best at flirting! Sister, why don't you say yes already!
Sister, you'd better hurry up and come up with some cultured phrases too. We can't let the ancients think we're uncultured!
Immediately afterwards, the comments section started giving Su Zhenzhen suggestions on which poem to use to respond to Hensheng's confession.
For a moment, Su Zhenzhen didn't know whether to process Hensheng's words or look through the comments in her mind.
Seeing that Su Zhenzhen remained silent, Hensheng felt somewhat uneasy.
"Zhenzhen? Although I know this is abrupt and may make you think that I'm only concerned with romance before achieving my goals, I don't want to go against my own feelings when my aunt asked me if I liked you."
Hensheng grasped Su Zhenzhen's hand. "Now, I'm giving you this token of my affection. Will you accept it?"
[Wow! The male lead is so good at flirting! Help, I can't take it anymore!]
Su Zhenzhen's usually steady Dao heart wavered slightly at this moment.
No one could resist such a sincere gaze.
And such a sincere person, and such a sincere heart.
"Me." Su Zhenzhen's thin lips parted slightly, and she slowly uttered a few words, "Then I'll accept this heart."
【Hey~ Sister, someone said that you'll only ever be their love in this life, and you just say, "I'll accept your heart."】
Sister, can't we recite a couple of lines of classical Chinese poetry?
[I... well, what can I do? The male lead likes her, so I guess I'll just have to be her sister.]
Su Zhenzhen then realized that the comments on the screen were all referring to her as "older sister".
It seems that... Hate's attitude towards one's feelings can influence the likes and dislikes of the viewers in the live chat?
At first, the comments were all criticizing me, but then they gradually became more friendly towards me. When was that?
Su Zhenzhen couldn't think of anything for the time being, so she simply stopped thinking about it, since it wasn't something she needed to consider right now.
Su Zhenzhen withdrew her hand and placed it on Hensheng's chest.
"From now on, your heart can only rejoice, anger, sorrow, and happiness for me."
[So that's where it is! I was wondering why that previous line sounded so corny; turns out it was a cheesy pickup line.]
[When literary phrases meet cheesy pickup lines, who wins?]
[Is that even a question? In love, the one who falls in love first loses!]
Hensheng placed his hand over Su Zhenzhen's hand and pressed it forcefully against his heart.
"Zhenzhen, my heart beats for you."
This isn't sweet talk; it's the truth.
Hensheng never told anyone this secret.
He has read many books, including some medical books.
The book says that living people have a heartbeat, but he rarely hears his own heartbeat.
Even the occasional faint beating in his chest at night could fill him with joy.
Most of the time, he was like a piece of thinking flesh, confined to that small thatched hut.
Until the day Su Zhenzhen walked into the thatched hut, at that moment, Hensheng heard his own strong heartbeat, but at the time he thought it was just an illusion.
That's why he hesitated when Su Zhenzhen asked him to leave the thatched hut. The difference between him and the dead is that the dead don't need to eat, while he needs to eat but can't do anything. The thatched hut is his coffin.
Su Zhenzhen, unaware of Hensheng's thoughts, withdrew her hand somewhat embarrassedly.
If it were just the two of them being affectionate in private, that would be fine, but with thousands of eyes watching in the live stream, it's like they're some kind of female lead in a pornographic film.
"We're not officially married yet, so let's all be a little reserved."
Fearing that Hen would overthink things, Su Zhenzhen added, "Tell me about the wedding customs here. Is it true that the man and woman cannot meet before getting married?"
Hensheng wasn't quite sure either, as the books he had read didn't cover these marriage customs.
"My dad should know, right?"
The two suddenly realized that there were two other living people in the coffin shop!
Su Zhenzhen and Hensheng looked around in unison, but there was no sign of Old Man Bai and Li Da anywhere.
I don't know when they left, or how much of their conversation they overheard.
"It's over." Su Zhenzhen covered her face in despair.
Her image! Her image! She's always been aloof and cold in front of Old Man Bai and Li Da, okay? How could she possibly have this girlish side?
Moreover, they are pure ancient people. How could a proper ancient woman say anything so bold and greasy?
Hensheng moved Su Zhenzhen's hand away from her face.
"Zhenzhen, why care about worldly opinions? There's nothing to be ashamed of in being true to yourself."
Su Zhenzhen no longer cared whether Hensheng truly thought that way or whether these words were just meant to comfort her. Now, she just wanted to rest and sort out her chaotic thoughts.
Seeing that Hensheng was still carrying the goose, Su Zhenzhen reminded him, "Take a look and put it away first."
Hensheng said nothing more, and took the wild goose and went out.
Once Su Zhenzhen was sure no one was around, and regardless of whether Jiang Sijin would come back in the middle of the night, she went straight to lie down on her princess bed.
How did things suddenly develop to this point? My mind and heart are in such a mess!
