Jiang Ling's ears tingled, and she turned back in disbelief: "Wha...what?"
Zhou Jing'an blushed and repeated in a low voice: "Help me, Ling'er."
The voice was low and tender, and Jiang Ling's old face turned red and he felt a little uncomfortable.
This kid actually called her Ling'er, and his voice was so nice, it was totally unfair!
But faced with such a situation, we can no longer stand idly by.
She coughed twice and said awkwardly, "Bring me the cloth."
Zhou Jing'an's eyes lit up and he quickly handed it to her.
However, the strip of cloth was stained with his blood and was no longer usable, so Jiang Ling simply tore off another strip from the lining.
The two of them were silent for a moment, their faces burning.
Zhou Jing'an lowered his eyes to look at her. Jiang Ling's fingers were flying flexibly and freely, with her eyebrows lowered and her eyes looking very serious.
He felt the touch of her fingertips and his heart beat fast.
"Ling'er." Zhou Jing'an called her softly, causing Jiang Ling's hand to tremble.
"I was wrong before. I will apologize to you." His voice was as gentle as water, gently flowing through Jiang Ling's heart.
Jiang Ling's hands were unsteady and she couldn't tie the knot properly.
She pursed her lips and asked him, "What's wrong?"
Zhou Jing'an said slowly and quietly, "I was too self-righteous. I underestimated you. I shouldn't have made the decision for you. And..." He looked at her expression, "I shouldn't have ignored you before."
Wow, you know that.
Jiang Ling pouted. As expected, once a man likes you, he will speak nicely and admit his mistakes quickly.
He had rejected her repeatedly before, which made her feel very embarrassed.
But that was all part of her plan. There was nothing wrong with his rejection and alienation, and she was not angry about it.
This is all part of the game.
Isn't he starting to feel guilty now?
Jiang Ling snorted lightly and said nothing.
Zhou Jing'an's eyelashes trembled as he stared at her. "I have no confidence in myself, and the same goes for me... for us."
us?
Jiang Ling had a feeling that the words were taking a wrong turn, so after tying the knot, she put her hand down and listened to him finish.
"I understand now. Ling'er is a brave and resolute person. She never gives up when faced with difficulties. We...we should be like the emperor, my sister, my parents..."
The more Zhou Jing'an spoke, the lower his voice became, his face turned red, and his nervous eyes didn't know where to look.
Jiang Ling's face flushed as she heard this and she interrupted him: "You...you are shameless. How can you say such things?"
Why does this sound like a confession?
What emperor and sister, what father and mother, who are his "father and mother", who are his "we", they don't even have a date! What is he talking about!
You big bad guy! You have no shame!
[Ding~ The protagonist's favorability increased by five points, and his loyalty increased by 5%. The current favorability is 76, and his loyalty is 21%.]
Jiang Ling: ? ?
He confessed his feelings to her, but she didn't even agree, and he quickly increased his favorability?
Or was he also shocked by his own shamelessness?
Zhou Jing'an felt a little embarrassed when he heard her words, but since he had made up his mind to do his best to marry her home as his wife, how could he back down!
Moreover, Feng Yu once said that one should be shameless when dealing with the woman he likes. Ling'er just called him shameless. Doesn't it mean that he is already halfway successful?
Zhou Jingan took advantage of the situation and, ignoring his burning cheeks and pounding heart, he stammered, "I love Ling'er, that's why I said that..."
"boom--"
It was as if a huge explosion had occurred in Jiang Ling's brain, causing her brain to shut down.
Whaa ...
What did he say?!
Delighted by her?!
Why did he suddenly confess his feelings? He was clearly following the rules yesterday, so why did he confess his feelings to her today? Isn't this going a little too fast?
Jiang Ling's face was burning, her breathing was unstable, her eyes were darting around and she didn't dare look at him, she just stood there in a daze.
Zhou Jing'an looked at Jiang Ling's face which suddenly turned red, and she looked shy and helpless. He was stunned for a moment, then a smile spread across the corners of his mouth. The tenderness in his eyes could no longer be stopped from running out. His eyes were bright and he stared at her closely.
Ling'er...she's so cute.
Zhou Jingan rubbed his fingers, feeling itchy and wanting to pinch the soft flesh on her cheek.
However, he immediately drove away these "unruly" thoughts and continued to speak in a shocking manner: "I will do my best to protect you and never let anyone hurt you in the slightest, just like my father treats my mother with all his heart..."
"Wait!" Jiang Ling could no longer bear it. She raised her hand to interrupt his terrifying speech, gnashing her teeth and glaring at him. "I... I haven't responded to you yet, so don't talk nonsense."
She muttered softly: "The Prime Minister is your father, not mine..."
Zhou Jingan was stunned for a moment before reacting. He apologized foolishly, "I...I didn't mean that. I just slipped up. Ling'er, don't be angry."
Jiang Ling took a few deep breaths to calm her frightened heart.
No, you have to hold the initiative in your own hands!
She stood up and refused, "Master Zhou, please be careful with your words. Ling'er didn't recognize her position before and kept pestering you. Now she has repented."
Jiang Ling looked at him and smiled faintly, "Ling'er is unskilled in poetry, songs, and prose. He knows nothing about classics, history, and martial arts. He is spoiled and willful, arrogant and unreasonable, and has a plain appearance. His reputation is even worse than others. Lord Zhou is the son of the Prime Minister. He is a man of both civil and military talents, handsome and elegant, and a top scholar at a young age."
She tilted her head, the corner of her mouth raised, but it was a fake smile: "Ling'er and Master Zhou are worlds apart. How dare Ling'er covet Master Zhou?"
These words are of course exaggerated.
She didn't think she was that bad. At least the statement that she was "average-looking" was definitely untrue.
Zhou Jing'an stood up hurriedly. "How could that be? Ling'er, why should you be so self-deprecating? Why should you value material possessions? Ling'er is kind-hearted, intelligent, talented, resolute and courageous, and has a beautiful face. She is the best woman."
He wanted to use all the beautiful words to describe Jiang Ling.
Jiang Ling was stunned.
Although she knew she was good, but... was she really that good?
Zhou Jing'an had already gently grabbed her sleeve, lowered his head, and whispered softly: "Besides... I really want you, Ling'er, want to try it?"
Jiang Ling:?
You are the male protagonist, a cool and elegant flower on the mountain top, a proud son of heaven, how can you say such words?
Do you have any awareness of being the male lead?
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Zhou Jing'an whispered again, "I know Ling'er is disappointed in me. I don't ask you to agree immediately, but I just hope Ling'er can give me a chance."
He looked at Jiang Ling, his eyes rippling with tenderness, his voice low and gentle, trembling slightly, making Jiang Ling's heart numb for a moment.
"I will let you see my feelings for you. I will never lie."
