Chapter 276 277. Do you want to kiss Lin Zhong?
On the way back to Kyoto, Lin Zhong felt more and more uneasy, and finally he confessed his feelings to Lei Zhouzhou.
"You mean..."
Lei Zhouzhou spoke slowly, still a little confused, "You... like me, like me, want to marry me? But we are friends, how could you like me?"
"No."
Lin Zhong said seriously, "Zhou Zhou, I never thought of being just friends with you. I liked you the first time I saw you. It was just that we were too young at that time, so I wanted to start with being friends. I..."
"I'm pursuing you as my life partner. I don't want to be just friends with you."
"But……"
Lei Zhouzhou confirmed, "We met three years ago. Have you liked me for three years?"
"yes."
"So you're nice to me because you like me and want to marry me, not just as a friend?"
"right."
"But I only consider you a friend."
Lei Zhouzhou was very straightforward, without a trace of hesitation, "I like you, but it's just a friend's liking. I have never thought about marrying you, nor do I want to marry you and have children with you."
These words were rough and a complete rejection.
Lin Zhong's face turned pale, his lips pursed tightly, his light-colored eyes fixed on Lei Zhouzhou, "A little bit, a little bit of love between a man and a woman?"
"No."
Lei Zhouzhou shook his head.
“…”
Lin Zhong's expression became even uglier. He lowered his eyes, pursed his lips tightly and then forced an arc, like the smile he gave Lei Zhouzhou before. He seemed to want to speak, but he couldn't utter a word.
"Should I take you to see a doctor?"
Seeing that he was about to cry, Lei Zhouzhou habitually cared for him, just like when he saw an injured kitten or puppy on the roadside, he would bandage it and apply medicine to it.
"……Need not."
Lin Zhong fled away, not daring to look at Lei Zhouzhou again.
"All right."
Lei Zhouzhou didn't chase after him, thinking that Lin Zhong would be better after a while.
Lei Zhouzhou has never liked anyone, so he doesn't know what it feels like to be rejected by someone he likes, and he has never been rejected by anyone.
Since he was a child of the Lei family, he has always been the center of attention among the children in the village. Lei Li and Zhou Yi like to travel as a family, and he has made many friends along the way.
Because he has too many friends, even if some of them are just casual acquaintances and he will never see them again, some of them will break up with him due to jealousy or conflicts, or they will gradually become distant for some reasons, he will only be sad for a few days and then be fine.
Lei Zhouzhou vividly embodies the saying:
If you don't do it, there are plenty of people who will.
The love of his family members is very abundant, and his many friends can fill the small piece that is missing due to someone. Therefore, for him, love is icing on the cake if he has it, and it is insignificant if he doesn't have it.
If Lin Zhong really distanced himself from Lei Zhouzhou or even broke up with him because Lei Zhouzhou rejected his confession, Lei Zhouzhou would feel sad because Lin Zhong was his best friend since he came to Kyoto, but he was only his best friend in Kyoto.
Lei Zhouzhou has many childhood friends in Sanlihe Village and Qingmi County. They have played together since they were young, climbed trees to pick bird eggs together, went to the river to catch fish together, picked peppers and planted rice together, and they have more than ten years of beautiful memories.
Lei Zhouzhou has good friends on the prairie, on the seaside, on the Qianfang River in the bustling Nakagawa, and on the reed marshes of the water town of Nanjiang... After coming to Kyoto, he receives several or even dozens of letters every month.
If Lin Zhong breaks off the friendship...
Lei Zhouzhou would wish him to find someone he likes and finally get married.
——Finding that Lin Zhong was always avoiding her and no longer talking to her, the straightforward Lei Zhouzhou wrote a letter, expressing her concern for him, her worry about their friendship, and her blessings.
right.
The content of the blessing is the third paragraph from the front.
Lei Zhouzhou finished writing and called Lin Zhong as soon as he saw him. Then he stuffed the letter into his hand and said seriously,
"I hope we can still be good friends. If you feel that I have hurt you, are unhappy with me, and don't want to be friends with me anymore, I respect your choice."
"My dad said that if you're not happy together, you should separate. There are thousands of trees in the world, so you can't hang yourself on just one."
Lei Zhouzhou felt that what his father said was right. The world is big, but happiness is the most important thing. So he respected Lin Zhong's choice. He wanted his friend to live a happier life.
Even if they are no longer friends in the future.
"you……"
Lin Zhong gritted his teeth when he heard his words.
He subconsciously grabbed Lei Zhouzhou's hand, wanting to say something but not knowing what to say. He pursed his lips tightly, suppressing his emotions, but his eyes were red when he looked into Lei Zhouzhou's eyes.
Lei Zhouzhou felt that he was like an abandoned large dog, no, a puppy, just like an injured puppy he had picked up on the roadside in the village before, who didn't make a sound but tried to stand up again and again.
It's so pitiful.
This man was much stronger than the puppy, and his wrist was sore and red from being caught.
"It hurts a little."
Lei Zhouzhou looked at the hand on his wrist and said, "Your grip hurts a little. Let me go first. I'll listen to whatever you want to say."
“…”
Lin Zhong's expression became even uglier when he heard this. He let go of Lei Zhouzhou's hand and just stared at Lei Zhouzhou's red wrist stubbornly.
"Why aren't you talking?"
Lei Zhouzhou was in a stalemate with him for a while, feeling that he was a little baffling. He held him but didn't say anything. Did he want him to stay and tell him something, or not?
"Otherwise, after you've read the letter and have something to say to me, why don't you come find me again?"
"If you can't tell me in person, you can write to me or ask someone else to tell me. It's nothing else, so I'll leave first."
“…Don’t leave.”
Lin Zhong grabbed his wrist again, but very gently, afraid of hurting him. His eyes were red and his expression was sad. "If... if we weren't friends from the beginning, would you like me?"
"this……"
Lei Zhouzhou couldn't make a hypothesis, and he didn't know anything about things that hadn't happened, but Lin Zhong's current expression was so pitiful that he couldn't bear to say no.
"Maybe?"
"Then let's start over. We're not friends anymore. I'll pursue you again. Can you try to like me?"
“……?”
Lei Zhouzhou was a little confused. "We're already friends, how can we start over? And I think being friends is fine too, why do we have to have that kind of love?"
"But that's how I like you."
Lin Zhong looked at him with a stubborn and resolute expression, "Zhou Zhou, I only have that kind of affection for you. We can't be friends. Do you understand?"
"I do not understand."
Lei Zhouzhou really didn't understand why they couldn't be friends. They had clearly gotten along very well and happily before.
After staring at each other for a while, Lei Zhouzhou saw that Lin Zhong was still silent, so he said, "Let me think about it. I'll give you an answer once I figure it out. I'll tell you tomorrow night at the latest."
Lin Zhong is his best friend in Kyoto, and he doesn't want to reject his proposal so lightly. Besides, Lin Zhong is rather stubborn, and if he rejects him rashly, he might catch up with him and ask if he can do it.
well.
Why did Lin Zhong, like the boy on the grassland, give up after the first rejection? That way he wouldn't have to think about whether to agree or not.
When it comes to things he doesn't understand, Lei Zhouzhou always seeks help from his family.
"That's how it is."
Lei Zhouzhou explained the whole story, his eyes clear and confused, with a hint of distress, "Should I agree to Lin Zhong? After trying everything, I still don't like him. What if I reject him again?"
“…”
Zhou Yi seemed to want to say something but hesitated, and in the end did not express his opinion.
Hearing Lin Zhong confessing his love to his own Zhou Zhou and making such a damn suggestion, as a father, as the father of a fifteen-year-old minor, Zhou Yi just wanted to beat Lin Zhong to pieces and warn Lin Zhong not to try to attract Zhou Zhou's attention, otherwise he would beat him every time he saw him.
But as Zhou Zhou's father, Zhou Yi felt that he had to respect Zhou Zhou's ideas, because Zhou Zhou was no longer a child, nor was he the kind of person who would easily agree on impulse or just because he thought it was fun.
Lei Li thought so too.
So he asked Lei Zhouzhou, "What kind of person do you think Lin Zhong is?"
"Good man."
Lei Zhouzhou said without hesitation, "Lin Zhong takes good care of me. He patiently teaches me anything I don't know, and he also takes me to delicious food and fun places."
"I feel quite comfortable getting along with him, and there's no unhappiness at all, so I want to continue being friends with him and don't want to break up with him."
"So,"
Lei Li asked him again, "Do you think you can give Lin Zhong a chance?"
"Chance?"
Lei Zhouzhou thought about it, his expression puzzled. "Is there a chance that Lin Zhong and I will become father and grandpa? But I don't want to kiss him at all, nor do I want to do the things in the book with him. I just treat him as a friend."
“…”
When Zhou Yi heard this, his veins popped out. He really wanted to say, Zhou Zhou, you are still young, you can't have such thoughts, okay?
But he also knew clearly that Zhou Zhou was in adolescence, and it was normal for her to have such thoughts, whether with Lin Zhong or with some unclear people, and to have the desire to do such things.
So he suppressed the words that were about to come out of his mouth and maintained the posture of a listener.
"What if..."
Lei Li asked him again, "What would you think if Lin Zhong kissed you?"
"Um……"
Lei Zhouzhou thought about it seriously, then shook his head, "I don't have any ideas."
He had never kissed anyone before, and he had never imagined kissing Lin Zhong, his good friend, so he didn't know how he would feel.
But he thought, kissing is just lips touching lips together, lips are soft, face is soft too, it should be similar to when his father kissed his face when he was a child, and when he kissed Xiao Yuzhu's face, right?
Is he going to try again with Lin?
Lei Zhouzhou pondered this possibility.
Maybe because he had seen couples kissing too many times at home, he didn't think kissing someone was a big deal, but he didn't know whether Lin Zhong would agree. He felt that Lin Zhong cared about this kind of thing.
"I want to try kissing Lin Zhong, what do you think, Daddy?"
