The Protagonist Just Wants to Fall in Love [MTL]

Chapter 123 Tryst

Gu Yinzhou also felt itchy in his heart, as if being swept back and forth by a feather, but he could not get any relief. The more depressed he became, the more he thought about it. What's more, the source of his itchiness was always lingering in front of him.

　　The heavy aura from his body was blowing in his face. Jiang Zefeng, who was standing close by, could feel the change most clearly. Before he could react, his heart was already hanging in the air.

　　"Brother, please stop pressing on my shoulders. It hurts..."

　　Whenever Gu Yinzhou became tough, Jiang Zefeng would use gentleness to overcome his toughness.

　　Hearing him cry out in pain, Gu Yinzhou loosened his hand. Jiang Zefeng rubbed his shoulder and turned around. The man in front of him had gloomy eyes and tight lips, and his whole body was like a bow stretched to the extreme.

　　"You want to make me miserable, don't you?" Gu Yinzhou said in a deep voice in front of him. He still had some sense of propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame in his heart, but they were already shaky.

　　Jiang Zefeng spoke quickly and thought: "What are you talking about? I want you to be well. Only when you are well, I will be well. If you are upset, I will be upset too. Brother...what are you upset about?"

　　"Do you want to get married?" Gu Yinzhou asked in an unclear tone.

　　Jiang Zefeng's mother wanted to find a wife for Jiang Zefeng. When she was about to pass away, Gu Yinzhou heard her say that Jiang Zefeng wanted to get married, and it was not reasonable for him to interfere.

　　Jiang Zefeng reacted and it seemed that this matter made Gu Yinzhou unhappy. He said, "No, brother, you haven't married a wife yet, why should I marry a wife?"

　　He thought that it was what Granny Zhang had said to him in private just now that made Gu Yinzhou unhappy. Granny Zhang told him that Gu Yinzhou was a bachelor, and he would be a bachelor for the rest of his life. These words immediately distinguished the two of them, and it seemed that she looked down on Gu Yinzhou. She was also worried that Gu Yinzhou would divide the family property with him in the future, so she asked him to keep a closer eye on him, saying that they were, after all, brothers who met halfway through life, not real brothers.

Gu Yinzhou should have been able to hear it as well.

　　"If I marry you, will you marry me?"

　　The conversation took a strange turn.

　　"Brother, if you don't want me to marry, then I won't marry." Jiang Zefeng said, "Just listen to what Granny Zhang said, why do you take it seriously?"

　　"Why not marry?"

　　I would be unhappy if I married her, and I would be unhappy if I didn't marry her.

　　"Brother, I only have you and you only have me. I won't abandon you." Jiang Zefeng threw out sweet words like they were free.

　　But this trick obviously worked on Gu Yinzhou, and his expression visibly eased.

　　Jiang Zefeng took Gu Yinzhou's hand and patted the back of his hand soothingly, "Brother, if you don't want to, I won't marry you. I said I will take care of you in your old age and see you to the end of your life."

　　Gu Yinzhou lowered his eyes and fixed his gaze on their crossed hands, but this time he did not pull his hands back.

　　He seemed to be smoothed over.

　　But only Gu Yinzhou himself knew that he was only suppressing the anger in his heart temporarily, because that fire would sooner or later burn his reason.
