Lin Zi hurriedly hugged the person in his arms tightly, and comforted him softly, "Okay, okay... Brother Zimo won't let you marry someone else. Don't be sad, okay?"
"Hey! Are you two ignoring me as if I don't exist?"
Shen Wenlai got goosebumps all over his body as he watched from the side, and had no choice but to interrupt the two of them.
"Second brother."
As soon as he entered the door, he was only concerned about the propaganda. If Shen Wenlai hadn't spoken, Lin Zi would have really forgotten about him.
"Okay, tell me what's going on. My dad might come over to take a look at me anytime. If he finds out, I'll be the one to suffer, not to mention you guys."
After Shen Wenlai finished speaking, he lay down on the bed with his back to them, and covered himself with the quilt to hide his sight.
"Okay, thank you, second brother."
Lin Zi thanked him softly before taking off his backpack and telling Shen Wenxuan, "There are some dried meat and pastries you like in here. If you get hungry at night, take them out and eat them."
"And you have to eat your meals properly. Don't refuse to eat when you're angry. No matter what happens, Brother Zimo is here. I'll definitely get Dad to agree for us to be together!"
Shen Wenxuan nodded, "Okay, I'll be obedient!"
"Well, that's good!"
Lin Zi rubbed Shen Wenxuan's head, took out a tube of Panax notoginseng ointment from his bag, and carefully began to apply the ointment to the other person.
Shen Wenxuan looked at Lin Zi's serious and handsome face, feeling his attentiveness and tenderness, and quickly pecked him on the lips, then smiled like a cat that had stolen some meat.
Seeing that the man was finally no longer listless and had returned to his usual mischievous self, Lin Zi smiled indulgently. After applying the ointment, he lifted the man's chin and gave him a gentle and affectionate kiss.
After the kiss, Lin Zi picked up Shen Wenxuan, who was limp in his arms, and put him on the bed, coaxing him softly:
"Okay, be good and don't forget to apply the ointment. I'm leaving now."
Shen Wenxuan grabbed the other person's clothes, his eyes full of reluctance, "Brother Zimo, can you stay with me for a while longer?"
"Okay~"
The two of them stayed together for a while before Lin Zi left with the other's reluctant eyes.
Lin Zi left the room and did not go back, but walked towards the living room of the village chief's house.
When he arrived just now, he found someone in the living room. It must be that the village chief guessed that he would come in the evening and was waiting for him there.
It just so happened that he also wanted to talk to the other party. After all, he couldn't keep being so secretive.
Stepping into the dark living room, Lin Zi took out a flashlight from his pocket.
The moment the light came on, Lin Zi could clearly see the expression on the village chief's face.
The other person looked at him with complicated eyes, and seemed to be hesitant to speak several times.
Lin Zi placed the flashlight on the low table beside him and knelt on his knees facing the village chief.
"Uncle! I know you'll be very angry when I say this, but I still have to say it. I want to marry Wenxuan! Please grant my wish!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he kowtowed to the village chief again with a thud.
The village chief closed his eyes, feeling reluctant.
He knew that Linzi had taken good care of them along the way, and if Wenxuan was a girl, he would definitely agree to the marriage.
But Wenxuan is a boy. If Linzi gets tired of him in the future, how will he face his future life?
By then everyone will know about their relationship and no girl will be willing to marry him.
What he has to face is the ridicule and strange looks from others. He has no children and doesn't even have anyone to rely on. Is he going to live out his life alone?
When he thought about what his beloved youngest son might have to face in the future, he became extremely worried and had to harden his heart.
Opening his eyes again, the village chief's eyes no longer showed any struggle. He looked at Lin Zi calmly and said, "I won't agree. I've been waiting here just to make it clear to you. I appreciate your care, but I can't give you my son as a thank you. Please understand a father's heart."
Upon hearing this, Lin Zi quickly explained, "I don't mean to ask for your gratitude. Everything I do comes from my heart, wanting to be good to Wen Xuan. I will love and protect him for the rest of my life. Please believe that!"
"You are indeed sincere now, but love is unpredictable. You like him now, so you don't care about anything else. But in the future, when this love fades, you will get tired of him. What will happen to Wen Xuan then? If you had a child, he would have someone to rely on, but you two will not have children."
"I'll never get tired of him, and I don't like children. If Wenxuan wants one, we can adopt one. There are many children out there who have lost their parents. As long as Wenxuan likes, we can adopt as many as she wants."
"Why don't you understand? I just want Wenxuan to live a peaceful life and have someone to rely on when I get old."
After saying this, the village chief didn't dare to look at the forest anymore. He could only clench his fists secretly and suppress the guilt in his heart.
Lin Zi knew that the village chief disagreed because he was worried about Wen Xuan, so he said firmly, "I can be his support too! With me, he can always be a child and do whatever he wants. I will protect him all his life!"
"Young love is always sincere and passionate, but after that period, how much love is left? A marriage cannot last long relying on love alone."
Hearing the loneliness and worry in the village chief's words, Lin Zi made a solemn promise to him: "My love for Wen Xuan is not a momentary impulse. I promise that as long as I have breath left in me, I will protect him for the rest of his life."
"I've made it very clear, go back."
After the village chief finished speaking, he got up and went back to his room without waiting for Lin Zi to speak again.
He was afraid that if he continued to face Lin Zi, the guilt in his heart would overwhelm him.
When Lin Zi saw everyone leave, he didn't get up. He just knelt there straight, looking a little lonely.
He really didn't know what to do other than this. Maybe with time they would be able to see his determination.
But he was afraid that the village chief couldn't wait to arrange a marriage for Wenxuan, and he didn't want to see the child cry. Those bright peach blossom eyes should always be smiling.
It suddenly started snowing at night.
White snowflakes fell like goose feathers, and the earth was soon covered with a layer of white gauze.
The biting cold wind blew into the living room, and the frozen Linzi shivered. He put his hands to his lips and exhaled a breath of hot air.
When Qi Yanxuan and the others saw that Linzi had not returned for a long time, they thought he was sleeping at Wenxuan's place and did not care. Anyway, as long as Linzi did not want to be discovered, the village chief would not be able to find him.
As time went by, Lin Zi felt as if the blood in his body was about to solidify, and he had no choice but to use his supernatural powers to resist the cold.
As the sky gradually brightened, a thick layer of snow had accumulated outside.
When the village chief and his wife got up, they saw Lin Zi still kneeling in the living room.
"Linzi!"
Wu Yueying hurried forward to help the person up. Lin Zi shook her stiff neck at him and pleaded tremblingly, "Aunt, please...please let Wen...Wenxuan marry me, okay?"
"Be good and get up and talk."
Wu Yueying felt very uncomfortable when she saw the other person's lips were frozen black and blue.
