"Zishen, do you want to watch a movie?" Tang Xiaowan asked softly.
"You go ahead and watch, Bailong and I have something to discuss."
"Oh well."
Tang Xiaowan opened her phone with a smile on her face.
She was very excited, or rather looking forward to it, because she could explore around the Plum Garden at night, sleep in grandma's big bed, and find out the truth about the night attack.
To her, that was the most important thing right now.
The car gradually became quiet. It wasn't until Tang Xiaowan chose the movie and put on the headphones that Li Zishen picked up the phone again and continued to read messages.
After pondering for a moment, he edited the message and sent it out: [Are you sure you checked it out? 】
【Yes. 】
Li Zishen's mouth moved slightly, his eyes darkened: [Be careful when handling, don't disturb Xiao Wan and Cheng Shi, and communicate with Chen Xin if necessary. 】
[Brother Shen, don’t worry, I will pay attention. 】
Whenever Tang Xiaowan is around, Li Zishen arranges tasks for Bai Long in the form of messages, which is something he has become accustomed to.
But this time, his thoughts were very messy.
[Xiaowan, shall we get engaged? 】
Tang Xiaowan was sitting lazily, watching the video beautifully, when suddenly this pop-up message from Li Zishen popped up, and she was immediately panicked.
She touched her nose, her cheeks bulging.
[Answer me, don’t run away. 】
Another message popped up. Tang Xiaowan pretended not to see it, took off her earphones and turned her head towards the car window.
But her demeanor had given her away.
She was a little nervous and timid, not knowing how to face Li Zishen's hot eyes.
God, what's wrong with this guy? Is he crazy?
Why did you change your mind about what you agreed to do last night?
If you refuse, will you immediately turn around and escort me to Liyuan?
No, no, I have to go back to Meiyuan today.
Tang Xiaowan slowly turned her head: "The weather is pretty good today. Why don't you have barbecue tonight? Oh, hot pot is also fine. Last time I went back to Meiyuan, I found a super exquisite copper hot pot in the kitchen. Why don’t you try it tonight?”
He stammered a lot, but didn't mention anything about the engagement.
Li Zishen's eyes were intense, perhaps driven by a desire for protection, and he suddenly grabbed Tang Xiaowan's hand and put it to his lips: "Xiaowan, don't run away anymore. Let's get engaged when we return to Jincheng, okay?"
But there was a hint of pleading in his words.
Chen Xin: What’s wrong with Brother Shen, so humble?
Tang Xiaowan was also panicked after hearing this, and was too nervous to speak. She could only let Li Zishen touch her fingertips over and over again.
The two looked at each other, breathing heavily.
"I can't remember what happened before... It's okay, don't be afraid, but Xiaowan, you must believe me. Before the accident... we had really confirmed our relationship, and you also promised to marry me. Really, I didn’t lie to you, believe me, okay?”
Li Zishen expressed his attitude again, his tone was so gentle that it was suffocating.
The air seemed to be frozen at this time. Whether it was Chen Xin who was driving or Li Zishen who was affectionate, they were all waiting for Tang Xiaowan's reply.
"Zishen, maybe before..."
Before he finished speaking, Li Zishen spoke first: "Xiaowan, you must be tired after riding in the car for such a long time. You have been busy since morning. Come, lie down and take a nap."
"Wha...what?"
"It will probably take three hours to get to Meiyuan. Get some sleep. I'll call you when we get there."
Li Zishen interrupted Tang Xiaowan again, and then gently placed her on his lap. His right hand touched the shiny black hair, and his left hand held Tang Xiaowan's delicate hand tightly.
"Sleep, close your eyes."
Her bright phoenix eyes were filled with tears, and she seemed to have a thousand words to say but it was hard to say them.
Li Zishen slowly turned his head and looked out the car window.
