Chapter 642 The Terminally Ill Rich Girl (7)
"Cousin, don't interfere in my affairs!" Wei Lan raised her hand and waved away Chen Heng's hand, her tone angry.
Chen Heng's face showed mixed emotions. Just when he was about to talk to her, he saw Shi Yi walking out of the darkness and coming towards them. He quickly restrained his facial expression and pushed Wei Lan half a step away.
"Cousin, what are you doing!" When Wei Lan was puzzled, Chen Heng took the initiative to greet Shi Yi behind her.
"Miss Wan, are you here because you are afraid that your cousin will be bullied by me?" His eyes fell on Shi Yi and then moved away in an instant, more gentlemanly than a gentleman.
When Wei Lan heard him call her "Miss Wan", a melancholy flashed in her eyes, and then she regained her usual ease. She turned around and greeted Shi Yi, "Why are you here just now?"
"Not really." Shi Yi silently grabbed Wei Lan's wrist, smiled, and looked at him again, "I just can't see that Wei Lan misses you so much."
"The sincere feelings between Miss Wan and my cousin really touched me. I will stay in the village for a few more days, so I won't bother you two tonight." Chen Heng walked away, his movements were quick and neat, and he didn't have the greasy look he had seen on Shi Yi before.
Shi Yi deliberately looked at his back twice, but Wei Lan pulled his hand down, "It's almost one in the morning, we should go home."
"What did you and your cousin just talk about?" Shi Yi took Wei Lan's hand and walked towards home.
Wei Lan looked up at her expression and saw that she was not unhappy. She pretended to be cheerful and said, "What can I say to him?"
"That's right." Shi Yi let her go to the innermost side and said softly, "From what your cousin said, he won't leave here for a while. He will definitely ask you to go out and play later."
"I won't go with him. I will definitely go with you." Wei Lan pressed her whole body against her. From a distance, they looked like one person.
"I made an appointment with Zou Xiuyu to go to the rapeseed field to sketch and have a picnic. Do you want to join us?" Shi Yi mentioned this casually.
Wei Lan looked embarrassed and said, "Let's see."
"Okay." Shi Yi walked slowly along the gravel road, pretending not to know the embarrassment on her face.
——The
bonfire party will be held all night.
Zhu Jin's aunt often stays with her friends until dawn. Zhu Jin, who pretended to go home, sneaked into Zou Xiuyu's house to wait for him.
Zou Xiuyu dragged his tired body back home, entered the dark room, and prepared to rest, and was hugged by her.
"You came back later than me." Zhu Jin leaned her face on his broad and warm back. This man is the one she has liked since she was young. She firmly believes that there will never be another man in the world who can touch her true heart like him.
"I met the old man and chatted with him for a few words." Zou Xiuyu turned around and hugged her, raising his hand to turn on the light, but was stopped by her.
Her voice was unusually clear in the darkness, "I secretly lied to my aunt to come home. I will leave soon."
"You go back alone?" Zou Xiuyu's voice tightened, obviously disagreeing with her doing this.
In the darkness, Zhu Jin's face was filled with joy, and she knew that he would not let her be alone. However, she pretended to be relaxed and said, "Yes. Otherwise, if my aunt finds out, I will be locked up in the attic again. It's very dark there, and there is no light at all. But when I think about being with you in the future, I am not afraid of anything."
Zou Xiuyu's heart was completely pulled up. How could he be so selfish? While she was giving everything for herself, he was looking at an exhibition with other girls and talking about art.
"Why is your heart beating so fast?" Zhu Jin put her ear to his heart and touched his pulse with her fingers. She felt the extreme change of his emotions and a smile appeared in her eyes.
She had known Zou Xiuyu for such a long time and knew him so well that she would not tie herself up in knots.
Zou Xiuyu gritted his teeth and said, "How about we stop the plan? This way, I can spend more time with you."
This was the second time he said he wanted to stop the plan in front of Zhu Jin. Zhu Jin was silent.
"Zhu Jin, I'll go to the city to work. Believe me, it won't be long before I can make money to come back and marry you." Zou Xiuyu didn't want to plot against the lively and bright Shi Yi, nor did he want to disappoint the girl he had loved for a long time.
Staying away from Shi Yi and making a lot of money back would just solve this problem.
"What kind of job are you going to do in the city?" Zhu Jin pushed him aside, sat on his bed, and began to sulk.
"Delivering milk, delivering newspapers, buying things, being an apprentice, as long as I can make money, I can do it." Zou Xiuyu knew she was angry.
"How much money can you make from these jobs? How long will it take you to earn enough money to come to my house to propose marriage." Zhu Jin sighed softly, "Your hands are for painting. If you do these jobs, what about your ideals? What about your dream of being a painter?"
Zou Xiuyu grabbed the black hair on his head with both hands, his lips moved, but he couldn't say a word of rebuttal.
Because he knew that what she said was true.
How much money can you make from working? Moreover, people who work don't have social status. His aunt, who runs a farm, can't possibly look down on him as a worker, and won't marry Zhu Jin to him as a worker.
From the bottom of his heart, he doesn't want to give up his dream of painting.
But there is no way to have both in this world.
"Xiuyu, just do what I say, okay?" Zhu Jin held his hand, put his face in his palm, and rubbed it back and forth.
She didn't want to see him suffer the hardship of working, and the only way he and she could take was also a shortcut, which was to get closer to Wan Shiyi.
"I can't bear to deceive Wan Shiyi." Zou Xiuyu felt a sticky blockage in his throat.
The closer he was to Wan Shiyi, the more he understood her, the more he sympathized with her, the more he admired her, and the more he felt that he was despicable, shameless, and unbearable.
"Then can you bear to separate from me?" Zhu Jin pressed his big hand against her heart.
She was so weak, loved herself so much, and trusted herself so much, how could he let her down? Zou Xiuyu closed his eyes heavily.
"Zou Xiuyu, I, Zhu Jin, have said that I will not marry anyone but you in this life. If you regret it now, just tell me. While Chen Heng is still here, I can still find him." Zhu Jin decided not to leave him any way out. Otherwise, he would always regret and be distracted.
"No!" Zou Xiuyu refused without a second thought. A greasy and rich man like Chen Heng would never treat a woman sincerely.
"Xiuyu," Zhu Jin softened her tone, with attachment and fragility all in her tone. "I only have you, and I only love you. If you don't think about our future, you and I will be separated by the world."
