Part 2 Hello, Mr. Major General I'm Gu Nianzi

279. What took so long?

Mei Xiawen's palms were sweaty and nearly trembling. Gu Nianzhi could sense that he was very nervous. Looking up at his gentle face and hopeful eyes behind the gold-rimmed glasses, Gu Nianzhi's heart was warmed and touched. So she wasn't unwanted Turn out there was someone who wanted her The corners of Gu Nianzhi's lips slowly raised to form crescent, her cherry lips making an attractive smile. Mei Xiawen's heart nearly jumped out of his chest as he subconsciously grabbed her waist and lowered his head to kiss her lips.
"Don't" Gu Nianzhi frantically pushed him away and backed away a few steps, her face flushed, "Don't be like this"
Mei Xiawen was slightly out of breath. He had the urge to touch Gu Nianzhi when he saw her hanging head and half exposed slender neck. He stepped towards her, but Gu Nianzhi backed up again and was nearly pressed against the window sill.
"You don't want to be my girlfriend? I really like you." Mei Xiawen felt hurt--he pursued her for solong time and never expected this result.
"Xiawen, do you really want me to be your girlfriend?" Gu Nianzhi glanced at him, "Then can you promise me one thing?"
"What is it? I'll agree for sure." Mei Xiawen's mood eased suddenly, and he watched Gu Nianzhi with happiness in his eyes.
Gu Nianzhi smiled and tilted her head, "Wait for me these next six months. If you don't change your mind in six months and wait for me to return at the end of the year, I'll be your girlfriend. --What do you think?"
Gu Nianzhi deliberately said this because she remembered Ai Weinan saying that Mei Xiawen's first love ended because of long distance. Gu Nianzhi was staying in the States for six months and would be on the opposite side of the world from him. She wasn't certain if they could overcome this.
Mei Xiawen froze and it was obvious he didn't expect Gu Nianzhi to refuse being his girlfriend despite pursuing her all the way to States. However, he had to admit that he had made progress with Gu Nianzhi finally giving him a clear answer. He just had to wait until the end of the year, and as long as he was willing, she would be his girlfriend. The initiative was actually in his hands. He felt relieved and accepted Gu Nianzhi's proposal, "Ok, I'll wait for you. In six months, on the day you come back, I'll pick you up at the airport."
Although there were still many uncertainties, Gu Nianzhi's heart couldn't help skipping a beat when she heard him make the promise.
"You'll really pick me up?" Gu Nianzhi murmured and took the initiative to grab his hand, "If you're still so good to me in six month, I'll be your girlfriend."
Mei Xiawen was satisfied and pulled her into a hug.
Yin Shixiong called from outside the door, "It's getting late, should we go to dinner?"
Gu Nianzhi pushed Mei Xiawen away, "I'll treat you to dinner."
Mei Xiawen grinned as he took her hand and walked outside the room together.
Yin Shixiong eyed them coldly, "What were you guys doing in there? What took so long?"
"Nothing, just chatting with Nianzhi." Mei Xiawen's smile was gentle and he appeared much happier than when he first arrived.
Gu Nianzhi didn't hide anything from Yin Shixiong, so she proclaimed frankly, "Xiawen and I made a promise. He'll wait for me for six months and when I return to the Empire, I'll be his girlfriend if he's still willing."
"Really? Well then I congratulate you in advance." Yin Shixiong looked at Gu Nianzhi, then Mei Xiawen. He didn't take it to heart and chuckled, "What a happy thing. Let's go celebrate!"
