The sky was filled with layers of orange light, which gradually enveloped the mountain path. Even the river water was dyed with a light crimson color, and sprinkled on Su Mu's flushed face.
Su Mu shone even more brightly against the rosy glow. Lin Mo's heartbeat quickened unconsciously, and his voice became gentler. "Although we haven't had the wedding banquet yet, the whole village knows that I want to marry you, little wooden... Are you going to reject me again?"
Lin Mo shook his head subconsciously, his dark eyes staring at the other person intently.
After a while, he said softly, "I never wanted to reject you, Lin Mo... I, I am willing to be your husband, as long as you don't mind."
Lin Mo is the only ray of light in his short life. He has no delusion of keeping this warmth forever, but even if it is only for a short time, he wants to... give it a try.
After figuring this out, Su Mu seemed to have come to his senses, and said in a more serious tone: "I will do my best, no matter what you ask me to do." Even if I will be abandoned one day, at least you like me now, that's enough.
Su Mu didn't say the next sentence. He didn't know how long Lin Mo would like him, but at this moment, he didn't want to reject Lin Mo anymore.
Lin Mo suddenly let go of the bucket he was holding, and the bucket hit the ground with a dull thud. A fish seized the opportunity and suddenly jumped to the ground.
Lin Mo didn't even look at her. He stared at Su Mu in shock, his hands involuntarily grasping Su Mu's shoulders. "You...little wood, are you willing to marry me? Really? Did I hear correctly? Right, right?"
Facing Lin Mo's eyes filled with surprise and disbelief, Su Mu was too embarrassed to look him in the eye.
In addition to the violent and rapid heartbeat, he felt his face was about to burn, and he wished he could find a crack in the ground to hide in.
Seeing Su Mu lowering his head shyly again, Lin Mo reached out and lifted the tip of Lin Mo's chin, forcing him to look directly at him, "Little Wood, can you say it again, are you really willing to marry me?"
Su Mu pursed his lips and looked into Lin Mo's deep eyes. No matter when he looked there, it seemed as if he was the only one there, and he had long been deeply immersed in it.
As if gaining courage from those eyes, Su Mu looked at the tall and handsome man in front of her and grinned, "Lin Mo, I want to be your husband."
"Mumu..."
Lin Mo was stunned for a few seconds. He had never seen Su Mu smile so brightly. It was like a gem that had been freed of dust, emitting a dazzling light in the sun. He stared at her intently, not even willing to blink.
As expected, he likes Su Mu the most! She is so cute and attractive!
Lin Mo stared at the little face that had been deeply engraved in his mind. His broad and warm hands covered half of Su Mu's face, and his fingertips greedily stroked the delicate and soft skin.
Seeing Lin Mo's face gradually getting bigger, Su Mu's pupils dilated, his thick eyelashes trembled slightly, his lower lip was bitten until it turned white, and his heart was beating like a drum.
He felt like his face was about to explode with heat, even smoking!
When they were half a finger's distance apart, Su Mu could no longer stand. He raised his little hand and suddenly covered his face with it. A muffled voice rang out from under his palm: "No... No, you can't kiss me! We're not... married yet!"
Lin Mo's face flushed when he came back to his senses. He scratched his head awkwardly. In the situation just now, the person he liked accepted his feelings. It was just the atmosphere.
Seeing Su Mu covering her little face, so embarrassed that she wanted to hide her whole face in her hands, he couldn't help but smile indulgently.
"Little Wood, are you...shy? Your ears are red, and your face is red too."
A low and magnetic voice sounded beside Su Mu's ears. Su Mu, who was exposed, instantly got angry. He took a few steps back and covered his face more tightly with his hands.
"That...that's because the weather is hot. I'm just too hot, not shy!"
"Really?"
"Yes! It's too hot! Too hot..."
However, the more he denied, the hotter Lin Mo's gaze became. Now he was not just shy, he felt that the shoulder that Lin Mo had just held and the face that he had touched were about to burn. The heat was lingering and it almost drove him crazy.
"Stop talking..."
Lin Mo listened to his soft and low plea for mercy, his Adam's apple moved, and he said in a hoarse voice: "Okay, then... then let's go home first, we still have to make dinner."
Lin Mo awkwardly turned his body to the side, motioning Su Mu to walk in front. He took several deep breaths and followed with the bucket in an awkward posture.
I originally thought the little guy was cute and wanted to tease him, but I didn't expect that I would be the one to be teased in the end. Fortunately, Su Mu was relatively innocent and only covered his face, so he didn't notice his abnormality.
Otherwise, he would really lose face.
Looking at Su Mu's brisk pace, which was getting faster and faster, Lin Mo couldn't help but mutter, "Has he been too unsatisfied recently?"
Thinking of Su Mu's cute look of shyly covering her face, Lin Mo couldn't stop smiling. His whole heart was sweet and he had an indescribable sense of happiness.
He has been pursuing Su Mu relentlessly all along, without any regard for his face, just to have a small place in Su Mu's heart. Before going out to do business, he finally coaxed Su Mu to wait for him to come back.
When he came back, although he brought Su Mu back to the Lin family and kept her by his side, he was ultimately bought back as a slave.
Su Mu's heart also underwent great changes. He became more inferior, cowardly, and uneasy than before.
Even though I have always told him my love clearly, Su Mu always shrinks into his own little world. Sometimes, when I say too much, it makes him even more uneasy.
He was sure that he loved Su Mu and would only love him for the rest of his life, but Su Mu didn't know, and maybe he didn't even understand what love was.
His uneasiness and fear were brought upon himself. After all, getting something and then losing it is far more painful than never having it at all.
Lin Mo could also understand Su Mu's tormenting psychological journey. He thought it would take a long time for Su Mu to open her heart to him and truly accept him, but he didn't expect that they would be in perfect harmony today.
The little guy finally opened his thick shell, and he naturally wanted to chase him even harder!
"Little Wood, if you are willing to take this small step, let me do the rest. I will make sure you never regret choosing me!"
Lin Mo made a firm vow, picked up two buckets of fish and ran after Su Mu's receding figure, just like before.
Only the forgotten grass carp that fell to the ground was still struggling, twisting its body.
"Little Wood, please wait for me. There are dogs in the village. If you are not here, I am afraid of being bitten by them!"
Lin Mo's pitiful voice sounded behind him. Su Mu did not stop, but slowed down quietly until Lin Mo was two steps away from him, then he continued to speed up.
