"ah?"
Zhou Chu was somewhat taken aback by her sudden confession.
I had absolutely no idea what to say, because it was all so sudden.
Who could believe that a girl who was lamenting her fate one second would propose to you the next?
"What do you mean, 'huh'?" Gao Qinyi glanced at him sideways. "Am I making you feel bad by marrying me?"
"That's definitely not it, I'm the one who's above my station." Zhou Chu waved his hand, carefully observing her expression.
Her eyes were slightly narrowed, and a smile played on her full lips.
It doesn't look like he's joking.
but……
They haven't even officially started dating, yet they've already jumped straight to marriage?
So fast?
Zhou Chu felt his heart pounding so hard he couldn't calm it down.
It sounded like hundreds of people were drumming together.
"Alright, I won't tease you anymore." Gao Qinyi sighed, feigning ease. "Should we go to my grandparents' house next, or just wander around for now?"
She wasn't particularly anxious.
After all, I've wanted to say those words for a long time.
I've wanted to say this for over a decade.
Now that I finally have the chance to say it, I'm not as shy as I imagined.
It was as if it was bound to happen.
She had anticipated Zhou Chu's reaction.
The only regret is why it wasn't Zhou Chu who confessed to her!
Getting a girl to confess her feelings—no one but Zhou Chu could do that.
As she was thinking, she got up, jumped two steps forward, and finally got away from the edge of the roof.
"What if I said I'd marry you too?" Zhou Chu suddenly looked up and said.
This kind of thing requires absolutely no thought.
All you need to do is prepare yourself mentally.
"Really?" Gao Qinyi squatted down again, getting close to his eyes.
They were so close that they could clearly feel each other's breathing.
Yet neither of them was breathing heavily; they both looked at each other calmly.
Because what they said was what they truly felt.
“Of course it’s true.” Zhou Chu nodded, leaning back slightly.
At such close range, what would his first reaction be?
Kissing, of course!
Seizing the opportunity, he kissed her directly.
It hit the target very accurately, but we should also thank her for not dodging.
Instead, they went straight to meet them.
It has a very soft feel.
This kind of appreciation, born from tranquility, involves more than just lust.
A kiss can reveal the other person's true feelings.
Just like Gao Qinyi, who has already determined whether what Zhou Chu said is true or false.
Zhou Chu kissed him closer and closer, his body moving backward continuously.
"That's about enough." Gao Qinyi suddenly took a step back and blinked her eyes: "Right now, I just 'want' to marry you, not 'want' to marry you."
"So how can I marry you?" Zhou Chu stood up only after retreating to a safe position.
Of course, this refers to a safe location relative to the edge.
"Or else..." Gao Qinyi gathered her wind-blown hair and said, "Be my boyfriend. I need to test you first."
There probably isn't anyone more proactive than her, right?
So he's just using the guise of research to find a partner.
“It’s not impossible.” Zhou Chu nodded and extended his hand: “I look forward to your guidance for the rest of my life.”
"Please guide me." Gao Qinyi did not take his hand.
Instead, she grabbed his arm.
"Do you know how silly you look when you hold out your hand!" Gao Qinyi pulled him downstairs.
There was no elevator, so the two of them walked down the stairs hand in hand.
Fortunately, as a factory, the stairs are very wide, enough for two people to walk side by side.
"Are you stupid?" Zhou Chu didn't think so. He asked in return, "Then why did you respond to me? Wouldn't that make you even stupider?"
“So, only a fool would be with another fool.” Gao Qinyi not only didn’t refute him, but was actually quite happy. She let go of his arm, and with three steps left, she jumped down, tilting her head slightly to look at Zhou Chu from below.
Her peach blossom eyes held a deep affection that was captivating.
They look very cute.
This stands in stark contrast to the already declining factory.
"Don't let me hold your arm now." Gao Qinyi slapped away his outstretched arm and instead propped herself up on her own arm.
Goodness, do we have to argue about something like this?
Isn't walking arm-in-arm with a woman something only men who live off women do?
He, Zhou Chu, as a struggling writer, still has a strong sense of principles.
But to be honest, her arm felt really comfortable.
"Let's go." Gao Qinyi walked towards her grandparents' house.
A building in a very dilapidated room.
It's only four stories high and there's no elevator.
The staircase was in a terrible state of disrepair, with rust covering the handrail, but it was still sturdy enough.
The stairwell, now blackened, has been abandoned for who knows how many years.
Many houses even have dust on their doors, meaning that the family has moved away long ago.
As I walked along, I saw countless houses that were deserted.
The reason her grandparents didn't move away was because this place held memories of their past.
As a long-time employee, I have spent most of my life working for the railway.
The accumulation of experiences throughout life is a kind of value that ordinary people cannot understand.
Zhou Chu let go of her arm and whispered, "Should we tell the old folks we're together later?"
"Why not tell them?" Gao Qinyi rolled her eyes at him and instructed, "But we still need to be strategic. Just follow my lead later. Although they have watched you grow up and have a certain fondness for you, they might be shocked if we tell them directly."
"That makes sense."
"So I knocked on the door." Gao Qinyi said, not giving Zhou Chu any time to continue tidying up, and knocked on the door directly.
A very dilapidated mahogany door on the third floor.
Although it was old and worn, the entrance was noticeably cleaner than the other houses, indicating that it was cleaned regularly.
Zhou Chu had just begun to tidy his appearance!
He had just taken out his phone, and the front-facing camera wasn't even turned on yet!
They don't even know if their hair is messy or their clothes are wrinkled.
Who is it?
A few seconds later, a familiar, aged voice came from inside the room.
"Grandpa, it's me." Gao Qinyi choked up for some reason when she heard this voice.
She could only suppress a sob, clear her throat, and answer loudly.
"Qinqin?" The voice coming from inside the room sounded noticeably happier.
The footsteps were noticeably more disordered, indicating that they were in a hurry to open the door for them.
She gave Zhou Chu a look.
Zhou Chu instantly understood and, mimicking Gao Qinyi, said, "Grandpa, do you remember me? I'm Zhou Chu."
