The gatekeeper saw her and immediately called out, "Hey, young lady, the man who came with you a couple of days ago has been waiting for you inside all morning. Come on in."
Few people come to the library during the Spring Festival, so the old man couldn't possibly remember such a well-matched and beautiful young couple at first glance.
Hearing the old man's words, Feng Mingshu realized where she was. Her heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously denied it: "I didn't come to see him. Please don't tell him I've been here. I have to go now. Goodbye."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and walked away, faster and faster.
Little did they know that Zhou Jinshan was still sitting in the same reading room as yesterday, in the same window seat, where he could see the library entrance just by looking up.
Zhou Jinshan had sharp hearing. He heard the old man's cheerful greeting coming through the crack in the window. He immediately looked up and saw the girl he thought would never appear again today. Without the slightest hesitation, he stood up and walked quickly outside.
Upon exiting the library but finding no one there, Zhou Jinshan immediately inquired with the gatekeeper.
"You mean that girl? She walked that way, but she specifically told me not to tell you before she left. Did you two have a fight?" the gatekeeper asked jokingly.
"Grandpa, I'll bring you some wedding candy later."
After saying this, Zhou Jinshan followed the old man's instructions and chased after him down the street to the east.
Soon, he saw a hesitant figure ahead, a red cashmere scarf dancing in the wind, bright and vibrant.
He hurried a few steps to the girl, then bent down and asked with a smile, "Comrade Feng, were you waiting for me?"
When the man suddenly appeared, Feng Mingshu was somewhat surprised, but she still nodded: "Yes, I've been waiting for you."
Just now, after walking a short distance from the library, the wind cleared her head, and she suddenly realized that, apart from Zhou Jinshan, she couldn't find another man to marry in the short term.
Previously, she felt that the two had too different personalities, but in the past few days, Zhou Jinshan has been a good student when he is with her, completely losing his usual domineering personality, and it is very comfortable to be with him.
However, this kind of teacher-student relationship is completely different from a male-female relationship.
Besides, is it fair to him that I'm using him as a tool to fend off my mother's pressure to marry?
Regardless of whether it's fair or not, just because she brought it up, does that mean Zhou Jinshan would agree?
Seeing the girl's changing expression and her red and swollen eyes, as if she had been crying, Zhou Jinshan's good mood, which had been high because he heard that she was waiting for him, suddenly plummeted. He asked as gently as possible, "Comrade Feng, have you encountered any trouble? Tell me, and I will definitely help you if I can."
Upon hearing this, Feng Mingshu looked up at Zhou Jinshan. The two rarely looked at each other at such close range. At this moment, she saw her own reflection in the man's dark eyes.
So she took a deep breath and asked, "I want to get married. Will you marry me?"
