Bringing space to the countryside, others eat bran while I eat meat

Chapter 218: Confession

There was a sudden knock on the door. Shen Ning was startled and realized that he had stayed in the toilet for too long...

Shen Ning took a deep breath, adjusted his mentality, and took the opportunity to drink a large glass of spiritual spring water.

As the spiritual spring water went down my throat, I felt warm all over, and even the pain in my chest was relieved a little...

Gu Changgeng was still worried that Shen Ning had an accident and was hesitating whether to break in. One hand was still in the posture of knocking on the door, but Shen Ning suddenly opened the door. The two looked at each other in surprise, and moist steam came over them.

The little girl's tender cheeks had regained some color, her eyes were bright, her teeth were white, her almond-shaped eyes were watery, and there was a hint of red at the corners of her eyes.

A few strands of hair were wet and stuck to her face. A small drop of water slowly slid down her fair and beautiful face and landed on her delicate collarbone...

Shen Ning blinked her big round eyes and explained in a low voice, "I'm fine, I just washed my face..."

Because of the injury, the little girl looked listless, and she was afraid of waking up Shen Yue, so she lowered her voice. She was like a little kitten with droopy eyebrows and eyes, curled up her tail, and looked too well-behaved.

Gu Changgeng was startled for a moment, but quickly reacted and turned around to hand over the towel he had prepared, "Wipe it off quickly. It's really ridiculous. How can you use a cold face? What if you get cold again?"

Gu Changgeng's concerned look made Shen Ning's heart ripple. She chuckled and took the towel, "It's almost summer now, how can I catch a cold? Besides, I'm not that fragile."

The slightly cool fingertips accidentally touched the other person's calloused palm, which was like a feather brushing across the tip of the heart, causing a slight numbing sensation, and like a small electric current, suddenly causing a shudder.

Gu Changgeng pursed his thin lips, his eyes were dark and unclear. After the little girl wiped the water droplets off her face, Gu Changgeng took a step forward, held her shoulder with one hand, bent down slightly, and picked her up.

Both feet suddenly became empty, Shen Ning was frightened and subconsciously wanted to struggle...

Gu Changgeng's hoarse voice came from above his head, "Don't move, your wound has not healed yet, it's not suitable for walking, I'll carry you back..."

Shen Ning's struggling movement froze instantly. He turned his head slightly and saw the man's clear jawline.

When I looked up again, that stern face that always exuded awe-inspiring righteousness came into view, with a high nose bridge, slightly raised eyebrows, and indissoluble tenderness in the narrow eyes...

Shen Ning: “…”

What kind of ghost has possessed Gu Changgeng's body? Can it get off him quickly?

Shen Ning would rather face the cold-blooded and ruthless black-faced evil spirit than endure his current state of being possessed by a ghost.

But Gu Changgeng lowered his eyes to look at her red ears, a smile flashed in his eyes...

"Sister! Are you awake?"

Shen Yue rubbed his eyes, his tone full of surprise.

Gu Changgeng glanced at her without saying anything. He took two quick steps and placed Shen Ning steadily on the edge of the bed.

Seeing Shen Ning's uncomfortable look, he cleared his throat and said, "What do you want to eat? I'll bring you some dinner..."

Shen Yue, who used to be clingy, jumped out of bed first, "I'll go, I know where the cafeteria is, and I also know what my sister likes to eat!"

She was so fast that before Shen Ning could even stop her, she picked up the lunch box on the bedside table and disappeared from their sight.

......

For a moment, Gu Changgeng and Shen Ning were the only ones left in the room. Shen Ning lowered his head, feeling that the atmosphere was damn awkward.

Gu Changgeng was completely unaware of this and naturally picked up the thermos on the bedside table, poured a cup of warm water and handed it to Shen Ning.

Shen Ning hesitated again and again, and pushed away the glass of water, "Brother Gu, I'm fine now, Xiaoyue and Yuanyuan are with me, so I won't bother you anymore.

When I get better, I will treat you to a meal, thank you for saving me..."

Shen Ning's intention to chase people away was obvious. Gu Changgeng's eyes were dark. Looking at the little girl's slightly frowned brows, he felt a little sad. After a long time, he spoke in a low voice, "Do you hate me?"

Shen Ning was stunned and immediately retorted, "Of course not!"

Gu Changgeng breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly half-knelt in front of the bed, and looked straight at Shen Ning.

The two looked at each other, and the room was so quiet that one could hear their breathing.

Shen Ning leaned back unconsciously, but Gu Changgeng did not allow her to avoid it. He straightened her shoulders, stared at her with burning eyes, and said seriously, "Shen Ning, I like you."

Shen Ning's pupils trembled at the sudden straightforward confession, and he even suspected that he was hallucinating.

Shen Ning was frightened and stuttered, "You...you...do you know what you are saying?"

But Gu Changgeng's narrow eyes were deep and focused, and he repeated, "Shen Ning, I like you.

It's not the kind of love you have for a friend or a sister. It's the kind of love a man has for a woman.

I like you, and I want to date you with the intention of getting married. If you are willing...”

"I do not want to!"

Shen Ning was like a cat whose tail was stepped on. He reacted violently and refused directly. If he hadn't been injured and unable to move, he would have rushed five meters away on the spot...

But surprisingly, there was not a trace of embarrassment or loss on Gu Changgeng's face. He just held Shen Ning's waist again to stabilize her, "Don't get excited, be careful not to open the wound."

Shen Ning felt that his palm was as hot as a branding iron, which made her shiver. She swung her hand violently and hit the back of his hand hard...

"Snapped!"

The force was quite strong and the back of Gu Changgeng's hand soon turned slightly red.

Shen Ning also realized that he was overly emotional, pursed his lips, and explained, "Brother Gu, we are not suitable."

Gu Changgeng's eyes were deep, and his emotions could not be seen. "Why is it not suitable? Do you have someone you like, or someone you want to marry?"

Shen Ning was speechless for a moment, his eyes widened, "Then... that's not yet..."

Gu Changgeng couldn't help but chuckle, "Since there's no one I like, there's no one I want to marry.

I'm unmarried and you're unmarried, and we're both of marriageable age, so why don't you consider me?

You are an educated youth who went to the countryside, and I am a retired veteran. You are alone, and I have no other relatives except my grandfather who raised me.

All my allowance and property will go to you.

There will be no conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law after marriage. You will be in charge of everything in the family and no one will interfere.

You can study if you want to study, and work if you want to work. You have absolute freedom. No matter what you want to do, I will support you. "

Gu Changgeng spoke slowly, and he considered every aspect very carefully, analyzing each point carefully, as if he was coaxing someone.

“Stop, stop, stop…”

Shen Ning took a breath. She couldn't listen any longer. She felt like she was about to be trapped. "I...we don't know each other well enough."

Gu Changgeng chuckled, "I am 182 years old, 70cm tall, and weigh kg.

Unmarried, healthy, no bad habits. Joined the army at the age of 16, stayed in the army for ten years, and never had any problems with conduct. "

His black eyes were like a deep spring, and the love in them almost drowned people. "I am loyal to my country, my people, and my party, and I will be loyal to you in the future..."
