Chapter 268: Perseverance for All Your Love
In the restaurant, Jiang Xiyue sat in front of Linzhou, looking up slightly.
"By the way, Zhou Zhou, do I need to accompany you to visit relatives when we go back to our hometown during the Chinese New Year?"
"No need to go. My dad is the eldest son. Everyone will have dinner at my house on the second day of the New Year. Let's go to your house on the third day." Linzhou put down his chopsticks and spoke in a very gentle tone.
Hearing this question, Jiang Xiyue stopped her chopsticks in mid-air and shrank her neck slightly.
"Uh... So, there were a lot of people at your house that day."
"There weren't many that day. The most were on the first day of the new year when we went to grandpa's house. Uncles and aunts were all there. There should be about 20 people." Lin Zhou tilted his head and looked at Jiang Xiyue. "It's okay. Just eat and eat. I'll leave the rest."
Linzhou stood up, sat in front of the girl again, patted her on the back gently, and signaled the girl to calm down.
Snowflakes were floating dimly outside the window, and they were the only two people in the hotel restaurant.
Sitting on the chair, Linzhou looked at Jiang Xiyue, who was looking out the window with his chin supported by one hand, not knowing what he was thinking about.
Because the tempered glass of the window carries heat, the snowflakes hit it and then quickly disappear.
"After dinner, can you take a walk with me?"
"Okay." Linzhou nodded slightly and agreed to the request.
Every day is a different life, but he thinks this kind of life is boring and it's time to find something else to do.
Or... deliberately pick a fight or something?
But Jiang Xiyue is very obedient and will try every possible means to prevent the quarrel from succeeding.
For Jiang Xiyue, there are changes between today and yesterday. Every day is a new surprise. Because she loves him, even if they just sit together and daydream, it is a wonderful thing.
Feeling the warmth of the other person's palm and the faint smell.
These things will make your heart beat faster.
Enjoying the snow is also a very comfortable thing. Thinking of this, the girl revealed a barely perceptible smile and stood up to tidy up her clothes.
After she straightened out the little brown balls of fur on her snow boots, she patted Linzhou's shoulder.
"Are you full? If so, let's go."
"Are you full? Even if you're not full, there's nothing left here. Should I eat the table?" Linzhou looked at the empty plate on the table and started complaining out of habit.
Five minutes later, two people were walking on the cobblestone road outside the hotel.
There was still light snow in the sky, and the wind blew it onto my face, making me feel cool.
Neither of them spoke a word, they just walked aimlessly. In the eyes of outsiders, Jiang Xiyue and Linzhou even looked like an old married couple.
Walk in unison and look at the person next to you from time to time.
When they reached a big willow tree, Jiang Xiyue stopped and looked into the gray distance.
"Zhou Zhou, I think snow is a lot like life."
"Why do you say that?"
"Because the future is full of uncertainty, even if it snows, you can't see anything in the distance."
…
After saying that, the girl continued to put her hands in her pockets and looked quietly into the distance.
Although he didn't understand, Linzhou stood behind Jiang Xiyue and covered her already cold ears with his hands.
After standing there for a long time, the girl suddenly turned around, as if she had made some important decision, "Zhou Zhou, I like you."
"I know." Linzhou replied softly.
But the girl was obviously not satisfied. She took a few steps back and ran to the other side of the cobblestone road. "Zhou Zhou, I like you. My brain and my heart are both saying that I like you!"
Looking at the girl who suddenly spoke like she was in an idol drama, Linzhou glanced at both ends of the cobblestone road with interest.
After all, in those idol dramas, the heroine who says this will normally not live for more than a few seconds.
The most common one is... a fast-moving vehicle suddenly appears on the road which was empty just now, and the female lead is sent flying about ten meters away, and then the whole thing is shot in slow motion, accompanied by music.
Like what...
For all the pain of your love and persistence♪~~~~
Thinking of this, Linzhou quickly stepped forward, held Jiang Xiyue in his arms, his tone gentle and serious.
"Okay, I like you too, stupid Yueyue."
"Hehe!" A lovely smile appeared on the girl's face, and she buried her hair and head, which were covered with snow, in Linzhou's chest.
Listening quietly to the other person's heartbeat, Jiang Xiyue felt that the world had become much quieter.
It was so quiet that the only sounds were my heartbeat and my own breathing.
This tranquility and enjoyment were broken after more than ten seconds, when Lin Zhou's voice came from above.
"Stupid Yueyue, don't ever say that again."
"Why?" Although she was longing for the heartbeat and silence, the girl still looked up and asked.
Seeing Jiang Xiyue's eyes, Lin Zhou sighed helplessly and began to explain, "What happened to the protagonist in the end of the sentence you just imitated? What's the difference between what you said...after fighting this battle, I will go back to my hometown to get married. How could a demon king appear in the novice village?"
Hearing the Linzhou dialect, the girl nodded as if she understood .
"After saying this, the heroine was sent flying. Are you saying this is unlucky?"
"Yeah." Linzhou nodded slightly and continued to hold Jiang Xiyue. There were trees on both sides of the stone road here, and normally no one would come here.
He can even touch her here and do whatever he wants.
But this was too shameless. How could a modest gentleman like him, who was only 1.8 meters tall from Linzhou, do such a messy thing?
However, when he lowered his head again, Jiang Xiyue had already raised his head and closed his eyes.
"Hurry up, what if it comes true? This is the last time..."
Regarding this situation, Linzhou has nothing to say, just kiss...
After sticking it on, Linzhou's hand habitually found a familiar place. In short, kissing is a serious matter and one needs to stand firmly and hold on well.
"Hmm...Hmm..."
★·❤·□·❤·☆
Three minutes later, Jiang Xiyue bit Linzhou's lips. The girl pulled away, put her hands on her hips and looked at Linzhou, "Bad Zhou Zhou, you almost ate all the lipstick I put on, are you a zombie?"
"I'm a human being, I don't want to think about this... This is the last time, let me savor it." Linzhou laughed and looked at the girl in front of him.
Snowflakes fell to varying degrees on the heads of both people.
After a slight hesitation, Linzhou reached out to help gently brush away the snow.
"Go back and don't catch a cold again."
But Jiang Xiyue pressed Linzhou's big hand on her head, with an expression of enjoyment on her face, "Well, let's go back."
Although she agreed, the girl still stood there.
Looking into the other person's eyes, Linzhou reached out and rubbed the girl's head, and his voice became several degrees slower than before.
"Be good...go back."
After being patted on the head, Jiang Xiyue happily took the lead and walked in front, her face full of smiles, "Well... I want to watch the animation when I get back. It's said to be very tear-jerking."
"Okay." Linzhou followed and took Jiang Xiyue's hand.
Soon, the two returned to the hotel room. Jiang Xiyue lay directly on the bed, took out her mobile phone, turned on the animation, and projected the screen onto the hotel TV.
Lin Zhou, who was sitting next to him writing on a notebook, looked up at the screen.
A very familiar anime. If you have watched anime for a few years, you will know Kyoukai no Murasaki. Its full name is "Violet Evergarden"...
But now for Linzhou, if he watches it again, he doesn’t feel as moved as he did the first time.
He does have a hobby of watching others watch tear-jerking animations. It feels like he has just eaten the Devil Pepper and then watched the Cantonese people eat the Kiss-Scorched Spicy Strips.
To put it bluntly, it's that sentence.
You are laughing because you think you know what will happen next, and I am laughing because I really know what will happen next.
While typing out the copy, Linzhou also communicated with another female copywriter in the club about the knife skills used in the creation process.
[Chihonghonghong: I think we should just destroy beautiful things for people to see. To put it bluntly, it is to establish a character and then tear it apart. It is simple and funny.]
[a. Zhou: There are industrial knives, right? It’s not okay to imitate the sweet story writers next door and use industrial saccharin. ]
【Chihonghonghong: Then tell me what we should do.】
[a. Zhou: Weaving a fairy tale, and then burying despair deep in the fairy tale, that feeling of powerlessness and the struggle of the little people are the most pleasing...]
After saying this, Linzhou looked at the top of the chat box, where the other party was typing and jumping back and forth several times.
Only after Jiang Xiyue started crying did the young lady send a message.
【Chihonghonghong: Born! You are worse than an animal! Fairy tales are for children, how can you use them for your own benefit?】
Turning his head to look at Jiang Xiyue who was wiping tears with a tissue, Linzhou smiled like a tax evader and continued typing on the keyboard. Should I recommend K-ON next time? Or should I recommend Four Lies?
I’d better recommend Dai Wei first, she’s cuter and also very funny.
The recently released Lonely Rock is also pretty good. I'll take some time to make a miscellaneous talk video and start to get some traffic.
Speaking of that Yamaha that was used as firewood, I bought it when I was looking for light music. I was attracted by it, but I didn’t even finish learning the chords and just threw it aside to collect dust.
There just happened to be a nest of termites in my hometown, and my piano was ruined.
Looking at Jiang Xiyue who was still dropping little pearls, Linzhou was also helpless. He gave her three choices last time, and Jiang Xiyue chose Jingzi without hesitation.
There's nothing we can do about it. This thing can make you cry from beginning to end.
Turning his attention back to the screen, Linzhou typed on the keyboard and replied to the female classmate in the club.
【a. Zhou: Who says adults can’t read fairy tales? Don’t adults need healing? 】
【Chihonghonghong: Do you want to check what you are talking about? Is that healing?】
[a. Congee: How can depression be cured if it doesn’t cause it? You want to find the cause and effect relationship…]
Obviously, after Linzhou's words, the other party fell silent again, and he didn't intend to reply. Instead of talking about these useless things, it would be better to go to some strange website to learn knowledge.
If that doesn't work, learning a foreign language is also a great idea.
Thinking of this, Linzhou turned his head to look at Jiang Xiyue who was still crying, stood up and walked over.
"Don't drop your little pearls, your eyes will be red tomorrow. I'm going to take a shower first..."
"No, you watch with me." Jiang Xiyue forcibly pulled Linzhou to her side with a hint of coquettishness.
Sitting obediently next to the girl, since he had almost memorized the plot, Linzhou had to take out a piece of paper and hand it to Jiang Xiyue every twenty minutes.
"I told you not to drop it!"
--------------------
Late at night, the two men sat face to face. Looking at the girl's red eyes, Linzhou didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Play chess or sleep?"
"Continue watching animations. You have to recommend one to me that will make me laugh out loud." Jiang Xiyue was holding a small snack made of glutinous rice in her hand, eating while complaining.
After hearing this request, Linzhou gave an answer without thinking.
"You should watch Gintama, it's hilarious."
"Really? This name doesn't sound funny at all." The girl couldn't believe it, but she still started searching on her phone.
After all, the animation that made her cry for a long time was also something Zhou Zhou tricked her into watching.
It's said to be a sweet and healing show. It's sweet, but what's the healing part? Who does it heal?
Although she complained, after confirming that it was indeed a funny animation, Jiang Xiyue operated the screen projection and patted Linzhou a few times.
"Okay, Zhou Zhou, go take a shower."
Although he didn't know why Jiang Xiyue suddenly asked him to go, Linzhou still got out of bed and walked towards the bathroom. Of course, he also ordered some takeout. It was called takeout, but because this hot spring hotel was in a small town, there was no takeout in the middle of the night.
So Linzhou could only ask the lady at the front desk to help check whether the chef was asleep.
As a result, the young lady said that after their Chinese restaurant was established, all the chefs would work in three shifts, and of course those working the night shift would receive double pay.
Standing under the shower head, Linzhou was enjoying his shower when he saw Jiang Xiyue walking in with a brush.
"Zhou Zhou, don't you northerners always scrub your backs every time you take a bath? Let me help you."
Reaching out to take the brush handed over by Jiang Xiyue, Lin tried it with his fingers, and then began to roll his eyes...
This thing, a back scrub?
The bristles of that brush are so hard that if I use it to scrub my back, I will almost lose my life.
Looking at the brush that Linzhou casually threw aside, Jiang Xiyue's face was full of confusion, "Ah... Zhou Zhou, you don't need it, then wait for me."
Before Linzhou could explain, Jiang Xiyue ran out to change her clothes and then ran back.
"Is Zhou Zhou all right now?"
…
Looking at Jiang Xiyue wearing Rem's cosplay costume, Linzhou felt his temples throbbing. If it were an ordinary person, he would have accepted it, but there was no way he could have accepted it.
He was not afraid of death, but he was afraid of pain. If he pulled that thing, it would leave a red mark.
So, Linzhou looked at Jiang Xiyue.
"So, our lovely Yueyue, is there a possibility... that you should use a bath towel instead of a plastic brush to scrub my body? I think you want to torture me."
After getting a positive answer, the girl pouted slightly, ran to the side and found a disposable bath towel.
"Well... I thought a brush would clean it better."
Hearing this, Linzhou complained helplessly.
"Indeed he can, but it will definitely hurt!"
