My Beloved Super Fierce Wife-Chapter 257: He is probably... going to fall

"...We’ll talk about it when the time comes," Gu Yingzhou said without taking it completely to heart.

It was still early, perhaps by then the young girl would have forgotten all about it.

As for the nearly imperceptible ripple that had crossed his heart, he deliberately suppressed it.

Lin Tang’s eyes lit up, and a bright smile spread across her beautiful face.

Indeed, she was prettier than the flowers.

"Alright," she said seriously, knowing that Gu Yingzhou thought of her as a child, "I know you have doubts, but I want to say that you are the only one I’ve wanted to be in a relationship with. I am serious."

How deep could their feelings be, given that they had only known each other for such a short time?

But as she said, this man before her was the only one who had ever made her feel the urge to be in a relationship.

She had a fondness for Comrade Gu.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yingzhou felt very confused.

To be honest, ever since he was young, people had chased after him with confessions and pursuits.

Up to this point, the number of girls he had rejected was not less than dozens, then it was at least a dozen.

He had no interest in dating and did not like those delicate and weak girls.

Towards Lin Tang, Gu Yingzhou was clear that he felt fond of her.

This fondness was different from that between a man and a woman, it was more of a pity for a hardworking and strong young girl.

He had never thought about dating Lin Tang.

Indeed, when the young girl mentioned it, Gu Yingzhou’s greater feeling was: proposing a relationship was just a whim of the young girl, and he should not take it seriously.

However—

At this moment, seeing the seriousness in the young girl’s eyes, he hesitated.

The man fell silent for a long while.

He even thought about a year from now.

He wondered, if Lin Tang were to turn eighteen and her heart remained unchanged, what should he do? What would he do?

After thinking it over carefully for a while, Gu Yingzhou realized something was amiss.

He had already broken many of his own rules for the girl before him.

Was this truly...just simple pity?

Thinking about his several bouts of unusual behavior, Gu Yingzhou’s composed expression crumbled...

The rain began to fall.

It drizzled softly.

It quickly dampened the ground.

Lin Tang had opened her umbrella early.

The black umbrella sheltered her and the tall, slender man.

The curtain of rain around them gradually thickened.

The air seemed to rise in a thin mist.

Unintentionally, the two of them had walked to the entrance of the Textile Factory.

Gu Yingzhou was lost in thought and did not speak again, while Lin Tang took his silence as agreement.

She glanced at him sideways.

"I’ll lend you the umbrella; you should get to work quickly, my future boyfriend," she said.

After speaking, Lin Tang smiled, waved her hand, and dashed into the rain.

Her figure quickly disappeared at the entrance of the Textile Factory.

Gu Yingzhou stood still, unable to recover his wits for a long time.

Future boyfriend?

Why did that sound embarrassingly delightful?

Although the rain was cool, the palm holding the umbrella handle was getting warm.

He was probably...falling for her.

After a while, Gu Yingzhou left with the umbrella.

The usually composed figure walking away now carried an indescribable hint of cheerfulness.

Lin Tang ran towards the office, covering fifty meters before she encountered Zhang Yuxiu, who was also holding an umbrella.

"Tangtang, did you forget your umbrella?" Zhang Yuxiu asked, jogging to shield Lin Tang

Suddenly, a week had passed.

Lin Qingmu, who had been away driving trucks, finally returned.

As soon as he came back, he went straight to Lin Tang.

In his hand, he held a large bag, his face covered with the dust of travel.

Lin Tang was already planning to sleep when she heard her third brother’s voice, so she hurriedly put on her coat and went to open the door.

"Little sister, I’m back," Lin Qingmu said happily, grinning from ear to ear.

Seeing her third brother covered in dust, Lin Tang quickly stepped aside, "Third brother, have you eaten?"

No sooner had she finished speaking than a rough ’gurgling’ sound erupted.

Well, it seemed that he was hungry.

Lin Tang said with a smile, "Third brother, you go take a bath at the bathhouse first, I’ll cook for you. The bath ticket is in the drawer of my room, go get it."

"Okay!" Lin Qingmu replied.

He put down his things, took the bath ticket, and headed for the bathhouse.

Lin Tang estimated the time and made some tomato and egg noodles.

The kitchen was filled with a rich aroma.

Lin Qingmu took only minutes to finish bathing and quickly returned.

Smelling the fragrance in the air, he felt even hungrier.

"Tangtang, what are you making?"

When Lin Tang had a moment, she replied, "Tomato and egg noodles. It’s getting late, so just a simple meal today, I’ll make you meat tomorrow."

After speaking, she placed the prepared noodles in front of her third brother.

Lin Qingmu, famished, saw stars. Forget meat, even plain steamed buns would taste heavenly to him.

As soon as the food was served, he couldn’t care less about the heat, and quickly slurped a mouthful.

"Delicious!!"

After the compliment, Lin Qingmu began eating rapidly.

Seeing her third brother so hungry, Lin Tang felt a pang in her heart and quickly made another bowl of milk powder.

"Eat slowly, there’s more in the pot."

Lin Qingmu’s mouth was full, he didn’t even lift his head, just nodded.

After finishing a bowl of noodles, he finally felt full.

Lin Qingmu leaned back comfortably, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and sighed, "That’s the life!"

He had been running around for nearly a month, and his bones were numb.

"Do you want more?" Lin Tang asked.

Lin Qingmu stood up, bowl in hand, and headed to the stove, "You sit, I’ll do it."

In just a few moments, he scooped another bowl of noodles and quickly returned.

Now that he had food in his belly, Lin Qingmu didn’t immediately eat but instead placed the big bag he brought in front of Lin Tang.

"Tangtang, these are all gifts I brought back for you, take a look."

Indeed, transport jobs were profitable.

With just this one trip, he had made almost fifty extra bucks.

While luck played a part, it proved one point: transportation workers were really not short of money!!

Lin Tang opened the package to look.

A pair of little leather shoes, a silk scarf, a pretty water bottle, a bright yellow dress, a bag of flaky candy...

The things were diverse and plentiful.

Lin Tang’s face was full of puzzlement, "These things must have cost quite a bit of money, where did you get so much money, third brother?"

Third brother had just started working, and he hadn’t even received his salary yet. How could he afford to buy so many things?!

Lin Qingmu stirred his bowl of noodles and said, "I’ve saved quite a bit selling herbal medicine, and these items weren’t expensive where we went."

He didn’t mention that to buy these things, he had spent all his money and even borrowed a few bucks from a colleague.

But, there were plenty of opportunities to make money on long-distance runs.

On this trip alone, he flipped some good stuff, paid off the debts at once, and still had a decent amount left.

Lin Qingshan took out a big stack of cash from the pocket inside his clothes and pushed it towards Lin Tang.

"Tangtang, this money is for you, all earned by your third brother. Take it and spend it, if it runs out, I’ll earn more for you," he said, exuding magnanimity.

Giving money to his little sister didn’t hurt at all.

Lin Tang was torn between laughter and tears, "I have money..."

Before she could finish, Lin Qingmu raised his hand to stop her.

"What’s yours is yours. If brother gives you money, you take it," he asserted with a dominant air.

However, with his migrant worker’s demeanor, he didn’t resemble a tycoon but rather a nouveau riche.

Lin Tang wanted to facepalm.

"Just take it, don’t be polite to your third brother," Lin Qingmu instructed once more.

Then he went back to eating, not paying her any more attention.
