Chapter 229: 229 Talking about relationships! Can you talk about it? (Additional update)

Gu Yingzhou breathed a sigh of relief as the topic finally veered off.

He had never been this nervous and exhilarated in his life.

Usually, it was he who made others’ hearts race and blood pressure soar, but today he was the one being overpowered.

The man was full of conflicted thoughts, silent.

His face, still handsome and attractive.

The moonlight was intoxicating. freeweɓnovel.cѳm

Lin Tang glanced at Gu Yingzhou twice, then abruptly said, "Comrade Gu, there is something I’d like to talk to you about."

In the dark of night, the streetlamps were dim.

There weren’t many people on the street anymore.

Gu Yingzhou’s heart rate picked up, and his heart suddenly soared with anticipation.

His deep voice was slightly hoarse, "What do you want to talk about?"

His deep black eyes looked ahead down the road, not daring to glance at the young girl.

He realized that in Comrade Lin’s presence, his heart functionality continued to decline.

Lin Tang stopped walking, her voice soft and sweet, "I want to talk about dating someone, with you! Would you consider it?"

Gu Yingzhou’s body stiffened.

A wave of warmth spread from his ears like an electric current, coursing through his limbs and body.

Dating?!

The man’s Adam’s apple rolled gently.

After a long while.

His expression was calm as he said, "I’m not particularly interested in committing crimes."

It wasn’t just that he wasn’t interested in dating.

Even if he were to date, he certainly wouldn’t choose an underage girl.

Wouldn’t that be a crime!

Having said that, Gu Yingzhou frowned at Lin Tang, his expressionless face showing a hint of disapproval as he hesitated, "You are too young! Think about dating later, it’s too early for you right now."

She was still a young girl, what dating?

Did she even know what dating entailed...

Small?

Lin Tang reflexively looked down at her chest.

Who was small?

Though slender, she still had what was necessary, right?

With that thought, her gaze at Gu Yingzhou was tinged with disdain and a trace of grievance.

If he didn’t like it, he could just say no.

But attacking her appearance was a bit much.

Gu Yingzhou was covertly watching the girl’s reaction from the corner of his eye.

Seeing her react this way felt like a needle prick to his eye, and he quickly turned his head away.

The blush on his ears deepened once again.

His mind was in turmoil.

He felt like he was going insane.

"If you don’t want to, that’s fine! Anyway, my mom said I have to wait until I’m twenty to date, just pretend I never mentioned it!" Lin Tang said regretfully.

It’s a pity to meet someone good-looking with decent capabilities whom she wanted to secure early on.

Gu Yingzhou, who had just relaxed his frown, now furrowed his brow even deeper.

"Twenty years old?"

Twenty seemed awfully old.

He remembered in the countryside, if girls were too old and didn’t date, people would gossip.

Noticing the man’s reaction, Lin Tang’s eyes flickered with amusement.

She nodded earnestly, looking like the perfect little angel, "Yep! That’s what my mom said."

Gu Yingzhou: "..."

He didn’t know how to deal with the bizarre emotions he couldn’t suppress in his heart.

In the midst of conversation, they arrived at Lin Tang’s house.

At the door.

Gu Yingzhou’s fingers fumbled in his pockets, and the words that had been turning over in his mouth were eventually spoken.

"Try not to go to the black market anymore; it’s a mixed bag of characters there. If you need anything..."

He was speaking when he suddenly noticed a pair of eyes, sparkling brightly, staring intently at him.

Gu Yingzhou’s voice halted, and the composure on his face froze.

Cough...

Talking about such things was indeed overstepping the bounds.

He pinched between his eyes, feeling overwhelmed.

Lin Tang curved her brows and eyes, her voice cheerful.

"Thank you for your concern, Comrade Gu!"

"I’ve arrived, thanks for walking me here. Be careful on the way back."

The man uttered a single word from his throat, "...Hmm."

Lin Tang waved her hand, opened her door, and went inside.

The next day, early morning.

Lin Tang, with her money in hand, went to the Department Store to buy a bicycle.

The county had a newly opened Department Store, opposite to the direction of the Supply and Marketing Cooperative.

It was a bit far away.

The Department Store looked more upscale than the Supply and Marketing Cooperative.

Not only was it larger in size, but it also offered a wider variety of goods.

The major difference was that the state-run store had bikes and radios among other large items.

Those who came here were naturally wealthier.

Since she was already there, Lin Tang roamed around first.

She didn’t find anything she wanted to buy.

After checking that there was nothing wrong with the bicycle, she paid for it.

The staff efficiently processed the receipt, smiling broadly as they said, "Comrade, here is your receipt. Please keep it safe."

"Thank you!" Lin Tang said softly, thanking them as she pushed her newly bought bicycle out of the store.

Zhang Yuxiu’s eyes lit up as she saw her.

"Tangtang?"

Lin Tang turned around, "Sister Yuxiu, what are you doing here?"

Zhang Yuxiu walked over with her son, smiling, "I took Qianqian out for a stroll. Did you come to buy a bike?"

"Yes, my family asked me to buy a bicycle, it’s convenient!" Lin Tang explained.

Zhang Yuxiu nodded in agreement, "Having a bicycle is indeed convenient. Have you eaten yet? If not, let me treat you."

Since the incident with Zhao Xiangrui, the two occasionally met up for meals, becoming much closer.

Lin Tang shook her head to decline, "Maybe next time; I’m in a hurry to get home."

As she spoke, she handed several milk candies to Zhang Yuxiu’s son.

The little boy shrank back, swallowed, and looked at Zhang Yuxiu.

"Take it, don’t be shy," Lin Tang said gently with a smile.

He was the son of a national hero, after all—a few candies were the least she could offer.

Zhang Yuxiu ruffled her son’s hair, nodded at the little boy, "Qianqian, say thank you to sister."

The boy clutched Zhang Yuxiu’s clothes, shyly saying, "Thank you, sister."

Lin Tang smiled faintly, trying to appear even gentler, "You’re welcome."

"Sister Yuxiu, do you have other plans now? Do you need me to take you back home?"

Zhang Yuxiu noticed it was getting late and that it was time to cook, so she said, "You take me? Can you manage that?"

Lin Tang cocked an eyebrow, calmly replying, "Hop on."

Zhang Yuxiu picked up her son and tentatively climbed onto the back seat of the bicycle.

Finding the bike steady, she relaxed completely.

"Ready," she said, holding onto the seat.

Lin Tang glanced sideways.

She mounted the bike, and they began to move forward.

A joyful child’s voice came from the back seat.

"Mommy, is the bike moving?" Qianqian gripped Zhang Yuxiu’s clothes tightly.

It was his first time on a bike, and it was fascinating.

Zhang Yuxiu’s heart melted seeing her son show his little white teeth in a smile.

"Yes, the bike’s moving. Are you happy, Qianqian?"

Qianqian was thrilled, his courage growing a bit as he merrily said, "Happy!"

Lin Tang, riding the bike, laughed upon hearing the mother and son’s conversation.

"Shall I slow down?"

Zhang Yuxiu’s face showed embarrassment and she quickly said, "No, no, don’t let me delay you."

Thinking of the factory surplus clothing she had managed to obtain, she brought it up, "I have some factory surplus clothes at home, they’re cheap and don’t require any tickets. If you’re interested, come have a look with me?"

Sending Qianqian to the nursery cost one yuan a month.

Her modest factory wages had to be split in half with her problematic mother-in-law, making life more difficult than in the countryside.

With no other option, she had to find ways to make money, which involved dealing with the surplus clothing.
