Seeing Zhou Jinchuan’s face change drastically, Su Yi felt both heartache and cuteness.
She quickly waved to him, “This is my last night staying here. If you don’t come, you won’t have another chance to come up.”
With that, she took the first step up the stairs.
She had only walked a few steps when she heard familiar footsteps coming from below.
Su Yi curled her lips and went straight to open the door.
When Zhou Jinchuan quietly entered, Su Yi had already poured two glasses of warm water and placed them on the table.
Seeing him still standing awkwardly at the door, she couldn’t help but laugh and wave to him again, “Come and sit down.”
“Why do I feel like you’re going to eat me?”
Zhou Jinchuan took a deep breath, walked over and sat down, “No, I’m afraid you’re going to talk about what happened last time.”
Su Yi nodded, “That’s right, actually I’ve been wanting to find a chance to talk to you, but I’ve been too busy lately, and also, I haven’t figured out how to tell you.”
Zhou Jinchuan took another deep breath, “Actually, there’s no rush. We can talk about it slowly in the future.”
Su Yi saw that he was genuinely nervous and couldn’t help but chuckle before reaching out to hook her finger with his.
“I should have told you my thoughts earlier. It’s just that I grew up in an environment where I was used to being distrustful and indifferent to others. I don’t seem to handle overly intimate relationships very well.”
“In fact, I have known for a long time that your family background is extraordinary. I was a bit worried, worried that your family wouldn’t approve of us being together, so when you mentioned marriage before, I hesitated.”
After listening to her explanation, Zhou Jinchuan was both moved and anxious.
“Su Yi, no matter what my family situation is, it won’t affect us being together.”
“I believe that once we go back to Beijing together and they meet you, they will also like you.”
“If you’re not willing to go back to Beijing, we can still get married without meeting our families. We can just get married in the military, and by then—”
Seeing him getting flustered and speaking incoherently, Su Yi couldn’t help but laugh and interrupt him.
“Hey, don’t be in such a hurry. Let me finish.”
What I said earlier was my previous thoughts. Now that I’ve made up my mind to be with you, I will also make an effort to understand your past and integrate into your family.”
“For you, I’m willing to be a little braver. Once the restaurant business is on track, I’ll accompany you back to Beijing to see your family.”
Zhou Jinchuan’s eyes held a flicker of surprise as they lingered on her face, finding no trace of hesitation.
“Are you serious?”
“Of course, you don’t believe me?”
“No, I’m just too happy.” Zhou Jinchuan’s eyes immediately welled up. He quickly lowered his head and reached out to hold her hand.
He gently rubbed his palm against hers.
These past few days, this matter had been like a huge boulder hanging between them.
It was awkward to bring it up, but it was also awkward to avoid it.
It made them both feel anxious.
Now that they had finally cleared the air, they both felt a huge weight lifted off their shoulders.
They felt a step closer to each other.
Zhou Jinchuan adjusted his mood and lifted his head again, “I see you’ve almost finished packing. How about I help you move tomorrow when no one is around?”
Su Yi blinked and smiled, “Move to where?”
Zhou Jinchuan was taken aback for a moment, his earlobes suddenly turning red, “Of course, to move back home and live with Nuannuan. I’ll go back to the dormitory. I’m not at ease with you staying in town, and besides, you promised me that once you left the cafeteria, you wouldn’t hide our relationship anymore.”
Su Yi readily nodded, “Okay.”
After they finished talking, night had gradually fallen.
Su Yi quickly told Zhou Jinchuan to go back.
Zhou Jinchuan was concerned about her having to get up early the next day and working all day, so he obediently went back.
The next day.
Su Yi got up as soon as dawn broke and finished packing.
However, because she was nourished by the spiritual spring water, she didn’t feel tired.
On the contrary, because she had recharged yesterday, she felt refreshed and invigorated.
After washing up, Su Yi packed up the remaining things that hadn’t been packed.
She waited for Zhou Jinchuan to come and help her move today.
Before leaving, Su Yi took another look around the room, making sure she hadn’t missed anything, before turning around and going downstairs.
Unexpectedly, as she turned her head, she saw Zhou Jinchuan already waiting downstairs.
He was also carrying breakfast.
Su Yi quickly ran down, “Why did you wake up so early?”
Zhou Jinchuan smiled with his eyes, looking very refreshed, “I woke up early this morning and went to buy breakfast for the children, and I also bought yours. You can eat it after you’re done.”
Su Yi had no choice but to take it, “I don’t have time. I’ll eat it while I walk.”
Zhou Jinchuan pointed to the car by the roadside with his chin, “I’ll drive you to town. These few minutes are enough for you to eat, and it won’t waste any time.”
At this time, the dormitory building was gradually becoming lively.
Many people came out of their dormitories to fetch water and wash up.
Although everyone knew that Zhou Jinchuan and Su Yi’s relationship was not simple.
But this was the first time they saw him come downstairs so early to deliver breakfast!
Everyone couldn’t help but turn their heads to look.
Su Yi quickly got into the car, “Let’s go!”
Along the way, Su Yi started eating in big bites to save time.
Seeing this, Zhou Jinchuan casually picked up the water bottle and handed it to her, “Eat slowly, I’ll drive slower.”
After saying that, he really slowed down.
The two comrades at the gate saw the situation outside the gate and couldn’t help but wonder, “Is Commander Zhou’s car broken? Why is it taking so long to drive such a short distance? It’s slower than walking.”
The other one covered his mouth and laughed, “You don’t understand, did you see who was in the car just now?”
Hearing this, the other person suddenly realized, “Did our Commander Zhou really find a partner? This time it won’t be fake, right?”
“It can’t be fake this time, I heard from the person who was on duty last night that Commander Zhou drove back last night, then went out for a walk, and then walked back with Comrade Su after a while. What else could that mean?”
The two looked at each other and smiled, silently returning to their posts.
On the other side, Su Yi arrived at the hotel door and turned to tell Zhou Jinchuan to go back early.
She got out of the car and walked towards the hotel.
Unexpectedly, Xu Xiaoqin and Zhang Tianhua were waiting for her behind the door.
The moment she pushed the door open, she was startled by the two of them, “My goodness, why are you two hiding here?”
Xu Xiaoqin giggled, “It was Commander Zhou who drove you here just now, so early in the morning, did Commander Zhou happen to be passing by or did he specially send you here?”
Su Yi glared at her, “Why are you up so early too?”
Xu Xiaoqin excitedly rubbed her hands, “What day is it today, how can you not be early? The vegetable vendor and meat vendor we made an appointment with earlier will be delivering goods soon, and I want to see them too.”
Zhang Tianhua laughed, “Sister Su Yi, it’s good you’re here, otherwise I wouldn’t dare make decisions later.”
