The moonlight poured down, covering the entire Maolin Village with a layer of bright white light. The breeze blew on the face, and the mountains and forests were occasionally filled with rustling sounds.
There was a small fish-shaped jade pendant in Tang Le's palm, which was as big as a palm leaf fan. He held his breath nervously, staring at Lin Sheng blankly and passionately.
If you look closely, you can see that his big hand holding the jade pendant is still trembling slightly, and the heart in his chest is almost breaking through the restraints and jumping out of his chest, but he is still trying hard to maintain composure and trying to act normal.
He spoke nervously in a hoarse and trembling voice, "Thank you so much for taking care of me during this time. I don't know what to give you, but this...this is something I hope you'll accept."
In the darkness of the night, Lin Sheng's head swayed slightly, and a smile that he couldn't suppress appeared at the corner of his mouth. Almost in an instant, he understood Tang Le's intentions.
It's not that he is smart, but Tang Le's performance is too obvious. The two of them are very close to each other at the moment, and most of his body is almost close to Tang Le. He could hear his pounding heartbeat from the beginning. At first, he thought Tang Le was just a person with an obvious heartbeat.
But just now, the moment he took out the jade pendant, he clearly felt that his heart, which was already beating very obviously, was beating even more erratically, as if it was about to leave his chest at the next moment. Moreover, Tang Le's body was trembling slightly, and even his speech was trembling and stuttering, which he himself had not noticed.
He is an old man. In order to make a living in the village over the years, he has become familiar with all the aunts and uncles in the village. He also knows some of the young people's naive thoughts when they first fall in love.
It’s the first time I’ve encountered this.
Lin Sheng looked up uncomfortably, his face burning with anxiety, but he remained calm. At least his mind was full of guesses about Tang Le's expression at the moment. It was a pity that it was too dark and he couldn't see clearly.
"You, why did you send me off? I haven't helped you much during this period, but you helped me a lot."
Lin Sheng suddenly recalled all the things that had happened over the years: the game Tang Le had occasionally sent him, his help during the autumn harvest, his little help during the busy farming season, and the firewood he had brought him from time to time...
He had never thought about it carefully before, but now that he suddenly thought about it, he realized that Tang Le had helped the family with so many things over the years. Moreover, if you calculate it this way, Tang Le... does this mean that Tang Le has liked him for a long time?
The more Lin Sheng thought about it, the redder his face became, and the hand that was supporting Tang Le's waist became hotter and hotter. He didn't dare to move, just feeling that the strong waist was hot to the touch.
Under the dark night, the two could only look at each other's outlines in the moonlight. Because they couldn't see clearly, the suppressed thoughts that had been hidden in their hearts for a long time were spread out without any hesitation.
The ambiguous atmosphere and increasingly anxious and heavy breathing revealed each other's panic.
Tang Le didn't know how many times he swallowed his saliva, and it seemed as if there were two little people struggling and pulling at him in his heart.
One of them was clamoring frantically to tell Lin Sheng his feelings, hoping that the other party might be willing to give him a chance, while the other villain was angrily suppressing his restless heart, shouting dejectedly and desperately that if he told it, Lin Sheng might avoid him in the future!
"Brother Le?"
Seeing that the other party didn't speak for a long time, Lin Sheng couldn't help but speak.
He didn't understand why he had to ask the reason, he just knew that he was very nervous at the moment.
Tang Le suddenly came back to his senses. He looked fixedly in the direction of Lin Sheng, looking at the blurry little face in the moonlight. He seemed to muster up a lot of courage, and after a long while, he tremblingly handed the thing in his hand to the other party.
He said in a dejected tone, "You know my situation, Sheng'er. I liked you the first time I saw you. I'm not good at speaking sweet words."
"I have a pair of young children, and I know I'm not worthy of you. I wasn't worthy before, and I'm even less worthy now. But I sincerely hope you live a good life. This jade pendant doesn't have any other meaning, I just want to give it to you."
Tang Le's eyes dimmed. When the Lin family was so poor that they could barely make ends meet, he did have hope. He thought that as long as Lin Mo recovered, he might have a chance to be with Lin Sheng. However, although Lin Mo recovered, he was also more promising.
He now has to rely on working for the Lin family to earn food for three meals a day, so how can he have the qualifications to like Lin Sheng?
Lin Sheng now deserves a better family.
Lin Sheng frowned and stammered a few times, but still couldn't say anything. He had a good impression of Tang Le and he had watched Tang Le's every move over the years.
In the past, because of his younger brothers at home, he didn't think about other things, but now he suddenly realized it.
Tang Le's tongue was tied with nervousness, and his voice was trembling: "Sheng'er, don't think too much, I just... just..."
Tang Le stuttered more and more as he spoke, and couldn't say anything else for a long time. He knew that he was selfish. He said that he didn't need Lin Sheng's attitude, but when he expressed his feelings, he was just asking Lin Sheng to give him an attitude.
But during this period, he saw matchmakers and women in the village introducing Lin Sheng to potential in-laws from time to time, including farmers with lots of land in the neighboring village, small businesses running businesses in the town, and even wealthy small landlords.
Anyone you pick out is better than him, a widower.
Tang Le had to admit that he was really anxious. When he thought about Lin Sheng marrying someone else, he couldn't help but rush to the door and tell him his feelings.
"Brother Le, why didn't you tell me your feelings before?"
Lin Sheng pursed his lips and sounded puzzled. He had never thought about it this way before, mainly because Tang Le hid it too well. Even when he came to help, he rarely spoke to him and his eyes would not even linger on him for a moment.
