The bride price for marrying a girl?
Gu Lin's face suddenly became hot.
That's not what he meant...
"Chen Yao, I'm not giving you a betrothal gift." Gu Lin explained.
Chen Yao raised her eyebrows and said, "Of course I know, so I'm giving it back to you now."
She put the wad of money and the ticket back into his hand.
Gu Lin suddenly felt that the thing in his hand became extremely hot. It was not right to give it to him, nor was it right to take it back.
Just then, Shen Che came over.
"Sister, aren't you tired of standing here? Go back to the house and rest." Shen Che said.
Chen Yao smiled and said, "Brother, I'll go back to the house first."
Chen Che: “Come back soon.”
After Chen Yao returned to her room and closed the door, she couldn't help but chuckle, "You're such a dull person! You won't even climb up if I give you a pole..."
In the yard, Chen Che looked at Captain Gu, who had been standing there and looked distressed, and asked with concern: "Captain, what's wrong with you?"
Gu Lin pursed his lips and said, "Nothing, just thinking about something."
Shen Che nodded and stopped disturbing him.
…
At dinner time, there was a rich variety of food on the table, but the most appetizing dish was the braised pork.
Shen Che smiled and said, “I haven’t eaten braised pork at home for a long time. This time it’s really thanks to my sister.”
Chen Yao smiled and said, "Then brother, eat a few more pieces."
In fact, we have been eating meat quite frequently at home recently. Basically, there are meat dishes on the dinner table every one or two days. However, pure meat dishes like braised pork are not cooked very often.
After dinner, Xu Huilan asked Chen Yao, "Yaoyao, when will you come back? Your brother will be leaving in a few days."
Chen Yao thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll come back every other day."
Xu Huilan nodded and said, "Okay, just do it as you see fit. Just don't get too tired."
Gu Lin, who seemed to be eating silently and not paying attention to anything, actually pricked up his ears and took in all their conversation.
…
At night, the entire Shiwan Brigade became quiet, and many people had fallen into sweet dreams.
Gu Lin lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. He always felt like there was a fire burning in his heart, making him feel that something was wrong.
So he decided to walk out of the room, take a couple of laps in the yard to feel the cool breeze, calm down, and then come back to sleep.
However, when he had only walked half a circle in the yard, the door of Chen Yao's room suddenly opened.
I saw her rubbing her eyes and walking towards the toilet in a daze.
The moonlight poured down, falling just on her body, and also illuminating the dazzling white area between her slightly open clothes.
And as she moved, the brilliance became even brighter.
Gu Lin, who had excellent night vision, froze in place and hurriedly looked away.
When Chen Yao caught a glimpse of Gu Lin's tall and big figure out of the corner of her eye, she was almost frightened, but fortunately she calmed down in time and just pretended that she didn't see anything.
As she got closer to him, she pretended to be frightened. After taking a short breath, she lost her balance and was about to fall to the ground.
The next second, as expected, she fell steadily into the man's arms.
Moreover, because she was "panic", she subconsciously clung to his neck tightly, and the distance between them became even closer.
Gu Lin lowered his head and was about to speak when Chen Yao suddenly turned his face to the side.
Her lips accidentally brushed his chin.
The warm and soft touch can bring a strange feeling with just a light touch.
Gu Lin's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and he looked at Chen Yao deeply, his Adam's apple rolling slightly, suppressing the sudden urge to kiss her.
My eyes unconsciously moved downwards, and I came into closer contact with the whiteness of her slightly opened clothes. Because of the squeeze of her posture, it was so exciting.
Gu Lin's breathing became heavier, and changes that shouldn't have happened began to occur in his body.
Chen Yao pressed close to Gu Lin and simultaneously felt some of his changes.
Suddenly, the hand around her waist loosened, and the next second, Gu Lin retreated half a step away from her and said in a low voice: "Sorry, I scared you, I just came out for a walk because I couldn't sleep."
Chen Yao: “It’s okay.”
Gu Lin pursed his lips and said awkwardly: "Just now, it was just an accident, don't take it to heart."
Chen Yao nodded and said, "I know, Captain Gu, don't worry, I won't let that little accident get to me."
Gu Lin: "Yeah."
…
Late at night.
Gu Lin finally fell asleep and entered into a dreamland.
This time, he dreamed of Chen Yao again.
He dreamed that they first met in the yard, and then...
*
The next day, Chen Yao rode her bike back to the town primary school early.
In the next few days, she went home every other day. During this period, she did not have any close contact with Gu Lin, and they hardly even spoke.
Just like that, in the blink of an eye, it was the day before Chen Che and Gu Lin left the Shiwan Brigade.
They have already handed over all the work of building the canal to the team members, and all that is left is to pack their luggage.
Although Chen Che was reluctant to leave home, he knew in his heart that this opportunity was truly rare. He was actually very satisfied to be able to stay at home for such a long time, so he did not look particularly depressed.
On the contrary, Gu Lin, for some reason, looked very abnormal, as if he didn't want to leave the Shiwan Brigade at all.
After Shen Che noticed this, he even joked boldly: "Captain, how is it? My hometown is pretty good, right? I see you seem to like it very much."
Gu Lin: "Yeah, I like it very much."
Chen Che smiled and said politely, "Then you can come often in the future. Shiwan Brigade welcomes you at any time."
Gu Lin raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said meaningfully: "I should come here often in the future."
…
In the evening, the entire Shiwan Brigade was very lively.
In order to thank the team led by Gu Lin for their support, the Shiwan Brigade prepared eight tables of food and invited everyone to come together. At the same time, almost every family in the Shiwan Brigade sent one person.
Xu Huilan and Shen Yao naturally did not go, they cooked their own meals at home.
While eating, Xu Huilan and Shen Yao said with emotion: "Now that your brother has gone, the next time we see him will be during the Chinese New Year."
Chen Yao rolled her eyes and said, "My brother said that he has a lot of vacation time and will come back to meet the person you and my aunt found for me."
Hearing this, Xu Huilan burst out laughing. "A little while? See what he can do. What? Does he want to scare people away directly?"
Chen Yao smiled but said nothing.
