Chapter 29 The Dumb Zhao Zhengxi

◎【2nd update】◎

From childhood to adulthood, Zhao Taohua could count the number of times she cried on her five fingers. The one that left the deepest impression on her was the day she received the college admission notice, when she received the critical illness notice from the director of the orphanage.

That night, she cried herself to sleep. So Shen Zhichu saw her ugly face with swollen eyes.

She was shocked at the time, and she felt better only after he patiently coaxed her for a whole night.

Recalling these, Zhao Taohua realized that his gentle care for her at the time was out of love between men and women, not concern between friends.

Zhao Taohua couldn't understand Shen Zhichu like this.

If he loved her, why didn't he tell her? He even watched her like someone else. He must be a fool...

Although she thought so in her heart, she didn't ask.

Many men liked her because of her beauty, but no confession could make her so helpless as she is now.

She bit her lips lightly and kept silent.

This made Shen Zhichu's heart, which was lifted high, gradually become a little flustered.

After a long time, Zhao Taohua finally raised her head, skipped the word "like", and asked with a smile: "Besides me, have you ever liked anyone else?"

"?" Shen Zhichu didn't quite understand what this question meant, but based on a man's instinct, he still answered carefully: "I only like you, I have never liked anyone else."

When he said this, there was a little grievance in his tone.

In the past twenty years, there was only her in his heart, but he could only live in her dreams, and he didn't dare to express his love even if he liked her.

Over time, it became a grievance year after year.

His secret resentment successfully pleased her. Zhao Taohua held back her laughter and teased slowly, "Really? Then why did I hear that you had an ambiguous relationship with a certain female educated youth, and you were whispering to each other every day?"

"Who did you hear that from? When did I have an ambiguous relationship with a female educated youth?" Isn't this a deliberate slander?

Shen Zhichu frowned and was very angry. He didn't loosen his hand on her shoulder but increased the strength a little bit. "Taotao, believe me! I'm really not like that!"

Seeing that he was really anxious, Zhao Taohua stopped teasing him, "Okay, I believe you, but if you dare to deceive me, I will never talk to you again in my life."

Being able to gain her trust, Shen Zhichu was really relieved. Then he coughed unnaturally and asked carefully with red ears: "Then...are you willing to be with me?" It was the kind of relationship with the purpose of marriage and forever.

Afraid of scaring people, the last sentence only appeared in his heart.

According to the original plan, Zhao Taohua did not intend to fall in love before the resumption of the college entrance examination. After all, people of this era are more conservative. No matter who you provoke, you will be forced to marry in the end. She would rather not fall in love than get married. But the man in front of her was an accident, so unexpected that she wanted to agree to him immediately.

But after thinking about it, she stopped thinking about agreeing to him.

In the past, those men who liked her had to pursue her for a long time before they got a chance. Shen Zhichu could not make an exception.
