Chapter 204 The Flower Delivery Duo
Gu Yiye glared at Zhang Wei and stood in his way.
"Zhang Wei, what do you mean?"
Zhang Wei, holding the flowers, looked completely bewildered: "?"
He just wanted to talk to his sister-in-law! Why does the platoon leader look like he's about to eat him alive?
Lin Shanshan peeked out from behind and asked, "Zhang Wei, is there something you want to tell me?"
Lin Shanshan wasn't so narcissistic as to think Zhang Wei was giving her the flowers.
Putting everything else aside, Zhang Wei's ability to get along well with Gu Yiye suggests he's a decent person. He must know the saying, "One should not covet a friend's wife."
Before Zhang Wei could figure out what was going on, he hurriedly replied when Lin Shanshan asked him, "Yes, sister-in-law. I've thought it through. I like Li Duomei, the kind of liking you have for a lover."
Lin Shanshan asked, "Do your family members know?"
Zhang Wei nodded: "I understand. I've been working on them these past few days, and with my silver tongue, they finally agreed."
The main threat was that they would go on a hunger strike if we didn't agree!
Zhang Wei was too embarrassed to say that.
Zhang Wei added, "Well, today is the old platoon leader's birthday, so I came over to take advantage of this auspicious day to confess my feelings to Li Duomei again."
Li Duomei has been staying in the dormitory for some time now, and Lin Shanshan, seeing that she was all alone, invited her to her grandfather's house for dinner today.
Li Duomei, who was coming downstairs, overheard everything Zhang Wei said.
Zhang Wei had his back to Li Duomei and couldn't see her coming downstairs. Lin Shanshan, however, saw her, smiled, and said to Zhang Wei, "Turn around."
Zhang Wei seemed to sense something, and when he turned around, the tips of his ears were bright red. He mustered up his courage and approached Li Duomei, saying sincerely, "Duomei, I like you. I've never liked anyone before in my life. You're the first, and I believe you'll be the last."
"Can you give me a chance to be your girlfriend?"
“I’ve told my parents that I will only marry you in this lifetime, and they have agreed.”
Zhang Wei finished speaking in one breath, presented the flowers to Li Duomei, and waited anxiously for her answer.
Li Duomei would be lying if she said she wasn't moved. Moreover, Zhang Wei was tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and looked very energetic. During the school's military training, he was also very dedicated to leading the students. He was a great marriage prospect.
Li Duomei developed a fondness for this sincere young man and decided to follow her heart, accepting the fiery red rose before her.
Zhang Wei was overjoyed when he saw Li Duomei accept the flowers.
"Thank you, Dome. I'm so happy."
Li Duomei blushed at Zhang Wei's enthusiasm and slightly used the flowers to block his passionate, straightforward, and affectionate gaze.
At this moment, Gu Xiang picked Gu Ai'ai up from school and brought her home. Gu Yiye realized he had made a mistake and said somewhat awkwardly, "Zhang Wei, let's go eat first. You drive with me."
Zhang Wei nodded with a smile, and then said to Li Duomei, "Duomei, you can ride in my car."
Lin Shanshan, Gu Xiang, and Gu Ai'ai were in Gu Yiye's car. Li Duomei was too embarrassed to squeeze in with them, so she held the flowers and followed Zhang Wei to the Hongqi sedan in the back.
Gu Yiye started the car and said, "Zhang Wei will probably be grinning from ear to ear today."
Gu Ai'ai blinked her big eyes: "Uncle, why is Uncle Zhang Wei's mouth crooked when he smiles?"
Gu Xiang didn't know how to explain it to her daughter, so she could only say, "Children shouldn't pry into adult matters."
Gu Ai'ai tilted her head and nodded as if she understood.
After a while, he said:
"I understand, because Aunt Duomei accepted Uncle Zhang Wei's flowers, right?"
Seemingly remembering something, he hurriedly said to Gu Xiang:
"Mom, Mom, will Zhong Siwei in our class also have a crooked mouth?"
Lin Shanshan turned around from the front and asked curiously, "Ai Ai, why do you ask that?"
Gu Ai'ai's innocent, childlike voice rang out in the car: "I went to school to play, but I didn't get a red flower. Zhong Siwei gave me his red flower."
As she spoke, she took out a small paper-cut red flower from her schoolbag and showed it to the adults.
“This is the one. He said that other kids have one, so I have to have one too.”
"Pfft!" Lin Shanshan and Gu Yiye laughed at the same time.
Lin Shanshan glanced at Gu Yiye with her beautiful eyes, as if to say, "Look, even preschool kids know how to please girls better than you do."
Gu Xiang has been in Shanghai for about ten days, studying with the students every day. Some of the students are about the same age as her.
After all, many people didn't have the opportunity to attend worker-peasant-soldier universities before the college entrance examination was abolished. Now that universities are recruiting, this group of people has come.
Being of similar age, they had common topics to discuss, and over time, Gu Xiang's thinking became much more open-minded.
She knew that this was just a simple liking between children, and maybe the little boy named Zhong Siwei just thought Ai Ai was cute.
Perhaps it was because that little boy was kind and took extra care of the transfer student.
Regardless of the reason, Gu Xiang simply smiled when a young boy gave her daughter flowers.
She only felt gratified that her daughter from the countryside was not isolated in class, which was a very good thing.
