Chapter 106: The Heartless Educated Youth in the Period Literature (11)
Shao Jinglin didn't know how he agreed to it.
Watching the girl handing him the can with eager eyes, he took it with a blank face, unscrewed the lid with a blank face, and handed it back with a blank face.
My heart is in a mess.
After Su Zhiqing said he would treat him to canned food, there was no further response.
Shao Jinglin couldn't explain what he was expecting.
He just felt uncomfortable in his heart, it was obviously... not like that. His eyes became dazed for a rare time, and Su Yu pulled him to a flat open space to sit down.
If he was just eating canned food, why would Su Zhiqing show such a shy and expectant expression and say something that could lead to misunderstanding?
"Su Zhiqing, don't you have anything else to say?"
The moment he asked the question, Shao Jinglin was so surprised that he almost bit off his tongue.
What is he asking?
Obviously, this is the best way now. I don't have to worry about whether to refuse or not, and I don't have to think about whether Su Zhiqing will cry after I refuse...
Shao Jinglin quickly explained: "I don't mean anything else, you don't have to answer..."
"Otherwise, yes!"
Su Yu automatically ignored his explanation, her eyes shining.
She grasped his arm very skillfully and looked at him straight in the eyes: "Brother Jinglin, you know, I brought this can of food especially for you to eat."
Shao Jinglin's ears turned red and he avoided Su Yu's passionate and straightforward gaze.
He nodded slightly and said, "Yeah."
"If it were someone else, I wouldn't be so generous."
Su Yu seemed to be unintentional, but in fact she was deliberately emphasizing: "My family members don't like me. They despise me because I am weak, sickly, and can't do anything. I secretly put this can of food into the package the night before I went to the countryside. I didn't bear to eat it for a long time."
"But for Brother Jinglin, I am willing to take it out."
"I will always remember all the kindness that Brother Jinglin has shown me."
Shao Jinglin was somewhat moved.
Su Yu quietly observed his expression and nodded with satisfaction.
The foreshadowing is over, it’s time to get down to business.
As Su Yu divided the fruit, she asked meaningfully, "Brother Jinglin, do you understand what I mean?"
The fruit flesh with sweet juice spread on the tip of the tongue. It was too sweet for Su Yu in the past, but at this moment, it almost moved her to tears.
Really delicious!
Shao Jinglin chewed the fruit slowly. It was very sweet, as sweet as Su Zhiqing's smile.
My heart, which had just calmed down, started beating again.
What Su Zhiqing meant by this...
It turned out that he wasn't overthinking.
Yes, Su Zhiqing is a girl and she is shy, so she must be too embarrassed to speak directly, so she quietly hinted to him in the name of canned food.
The burning feeling in Shao Jinglin's ears never went away.
He nodded hesitantly: "Yeah."
Su Yu's eyes lit up even more. She couldn't help but curl her lips, but then she tried to suppress them: "Then... Brother Jinglin, can you agree to one of my requests?"
Shao Jinglin's breathing became heavier, and his voice was hoarse: "Go ahead."
Now that the conversation has come to this, it seems difficult to refuse.
Shao Jinglin slightly turned his eyes and glanced at Su Yu's beautiful smile. His mind replayed every detail of their acquaintance, and it seemed... not so difficult to accept.
Su Zhiqing was not very strong and could not do much work.
But he was very strong and earned full work points every day. He could get a lot of food in a year, enough for his family and Su Zhiqing to eat.
It doesn’t matter even if Su Zhiqing doesn’t go to work.
He can afford her.
As his thoughts wandered to this point, Shao Jinglin gradually calmed down.
He raised his eyes and looked at Su Yu seriously: "Su Zhiqing, if you really don't dislike me..."
He pursed his lips and said, "You already know the situation of my family. If you don't mind, I have no objection. The brigade has distributed a lot of food in the past few years. With this year's distribution, my work points alone are enough to cover your food rations. You don't have to worry about money and tickets. I have saved some over the years, which is enough for you to spend."
In fact, it's more than that. Shao Jinglin has received education and did quite well. People with knowledge and a quick mind will never have a bad life at any time.
He has ways to get money.
"You have little strength and are not in good health. If you feel tired, it's okay to stay home."
It’s just a matter of saying “I will support you”.
Su Yu had no idea how much Shao Jinglin had imagined in just such a short while.
At this moment, she was overwhelmed by the huge surprise.
The prepared speech was completely useless. She had just started it before the man in front of her jumped into the trap and took the initiative to fleece her.
Su Yu felt light all over, as if she was walking on clouds.
"Is everything you said true?"
Now that he had made up his mind, Shao Jinglin no longer hesitated.
"Yes." He nodded, thought seriously for a while, looked up and said, "It's a little late today. Let's go to our uncle tomorrow to discuss the date and set the wedding. Of course, there is no rush. Su Zhiqing can write a letter home first and ask for the opinions of uncle and aunt before confirming the date."
There is a widely circulated saying nowadays: dating without the purpose of getting married is hooliganism.
Shao Jinglin naturally made plans to get married.
He is indeed not young anymore, and his mother has urged him many times, but he has never shown any interest in this regard. But if the target is Su Zhiqing...
Shao Jinglin surprisingly felt some anticipation.
“…”
Su Yu was stunned. Did she travel through time? Why did the topic suddenly develop in a strange direction?
She opened her eyes wide in shock and said dazedly, "What does this have to do with marriage?"
Shao Jinglin's thoughts were interrupted. He was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then frowned slightly: "Su Zhiqing doesn't want to marry me?"
Su Yu choked: "I..."
The question is why get married?!
Shao Jinglin: "Su Zhiqing wants to be a hooligan?"
Su Yu almost choked on her saliva: "...What?"
Shao Jinglin felt that Su Yu was not that kind of person, so he patiently said, "Su Zhiqing wants to date me, but doesn't want to marry me. Isn't this just being a hooligan?"
Su Yu gasped. When did she ever say she wanted to be his partner? !
Did she miss something?!
The man in front of him suddenly frowned, realizing something. He paused, his breathing stagnated, and asked as if to verify, "Su Zhiqing, what was the request you were about to make?"
Su Yu stammered: "I, I want to ask you... to take care of me when you work in the future... help me more..."
It seemed like something had happened that she hadn't expected.
In a flash, Su Yu had an idea and thought of a possibility.
The male protagonist wouldn’t think that she likes him and is asking him to come over to confess her feelings, right?
hiss--
This is a huge misunderstanding.
Wait, it seems that it is not impossible.
Staring at the man's cold and solemn expression, Su Yu added tremblingly: "And... I like you."
"I was just too excited just now. I didn't expect Brother Jinglin to agree and be willing to marry me."
Su Yu spoke more and more smoothly: "I can't do heavy work. Comrade Liang Tiantian is right. I will drag you down. Originally, I just didn't want to leave any regrets for myself, so I asked you to come over and mustered up the courage to tell you this, but...but I didn't expect you to agree..."
"Great, it turns out I wasn't just wishful thinking."
Su Yu really didn't expect this, it was too bizarre.
She really wanted to know what the male protagonist had in mind.
