Chapter 781: Chapter 778
He seemed to have thousands of questions he wanted to ask, but once he started speaking, only this sentence remained.
Jin Zhu lowered her head, her eyebrows and eyes drooping, and spoke softly and gently, “I’m doing quite well, how about you?”
She slowly lifted her gaze, looking at him.
Sang Nian watched her, a light smile playing on his lips, “I’m very good, it’s just…”
“Hmm? Just what?”
She looked at him, puzzled, and asked.
But Sang Nian didn’t speak again, instead pursing his pale pink lips, looking at her, the gaze of the young man becoming bit by bit deeper.
Inside it seemed to be entwined with too much longing, and deep affection for her.
Perhaps because he was too young and impetuous, he didn’t know how to hide his emotions.
Jin Zhu felt somewhat embarrassed under his excessively intense gaze, and she slightly averted her eyes, but at that moment, she saw his hand reaching out.
The palm was open, and in his palm was a neatly wrapped small gift.
Jin Zhu’s eyes fell on it, slightly surprised, “For, for me…?”
She asked, puzzled.
Sang Nian nodded slightly, “On the way back, I passed by a store at the market, and thought, thought it was pretty.” It was very suitable for her.
His ears also turned slightly red.
Both were at an age where emotions were blossoming for the first time, although they had come of age, it was also the first time they had fallen in love with someone.
The emotions were pure, lovely, yet green.
He stuffed it into Jin Zhu’s hands, and she glanced at him, a trace of a smile in her bright eyes.
She opened the package, and immediately a beautiful silk scarf of exquisite silk material was revealed, she knew these well, and could tell at a glance that it was made of fine quality.
“Is the allowance they give you at work a lot? Why spend money recklessly?”
Jin Zhu couldn’t help but give him a stern look.
Sang Nian, embarrassed, scratched the back of his head, but what he said was very firm, “It’s nothing… it wasn’t much.” It was just a month’s allowance.
He wanted to give it to her, and moreover, it was because of her that he had the motivation to want to become better.
To become increasingly outstanding, so that one day he could stand shoulder to shoulder with her, or even run faster than her, to provide her with a beautiful future sooner.
Jin Zhu couldn’t say anything more, she indeed liked the gift very much, but still felt heartache over the money.
They were still young, and making some money was not easy.
She bit her lip slightly, her hand landing on his waist and pinching him.
He let out a muffled grunt and immediately caught her small hand.
“Ticklish.”
He said.
Jin Zhu: “Good, that’s the point, to see if you’ll impulsively buy things again next time.”
As she spoke, she tried to withdraw her hand, but found that it was being held by him, and for the moment she couldn’t pull it back.
Realizing what was happening, she suddenly felt her face growing hot.
“Let go, let go… people are starting to look this way.”
She said and managed to hurriedly pull her hand from his palm in a flurry.
With Sang Nian’s palm empty, his entire heart seemed empty too, he looked at her unwaveringly, took a deep breath, and said softly, “Jin Zhu, we haven’t seen each other for a long time, let’s walk towards the lakeside.”
As for why they should go that way, is there any need to say more?
There are too many people here, whatever they do… it’s inconvenient.
Jin Zhu’s cheeks were still warm, her thoughts a mess, and at his suggestion, she found herself subconsciously following him.
As they walked for a while, the breeze over the grasslands made the hot flush on her cheeks subside a bit, and only then did she suddenly realize that it was just the two of them nearby.
They had already crossed a small hill on the grassland and arrived at the lakeside.
Sang Nian let her walk ahead, following her, walking beside her.
Only his hand kept opening and closing, clenching into a fist then stretching out again, it was giving him a tough time.
