Immersive Fast Wear: The Anti-Strike Manual of the Heartthrob

The shadow that depicted the appearance of his future wife was not fair, not elegant, not a scholar, and not even gentle. It was completely different from the image of his future wife that he had imagined in his mind when he was young.

She is unaware of her own little thoughts and often makes herself angry, but she will provide comfort in time when others are upset.

The figure gradually became clearer, and when it was about to overlap with someone else's figure, Zhu Lerong quickly shook his head, not daring to think about it any further.

"Uncle, no need. I don't want to look for my wife for the time being. I haven't reunited with my mother and father yet. I haven't seen my mother and father for more than two years, and I don't want to leave them so soon after I come back."

"That's right," Zhu Hean patted Zhu Lerong's hand, and said with some emotion, "You have been separated for so long, it's time for you to have a good reunion."

"However," Zhu Hean smiled with a full and meaningful smile.

"Your uncle will also keep an eye out for the good girls in the capital. There are many girls in the world, but not many good girls that meet your taste."

"Everything will be fine if I have that, but I will also be watched by many men. I have to plan more for Rongrong and watch in advance."

Since his uncle had said so, Zhu Lerong did not know how to say anything more in order to show the love and care of all the elders, so he just remained silent as a response.

Zhu He An invited Zhu Lerong to have lunch with him again. It was almost three quarters after that (3:45 pm) before he said goodbye and returned to his temporary residence.

At this time, the other two had not returned yet, so Zhu Lerong threw herself on the bed and pulled the quilt beside her to cover her head.

As soon as he closed his eyes, the scene in his uncle's room that he had forcibly interrupted himself finally overlapped in his mind.

The kind of wife he wanted now looked exactly like Lin Chaosheng.

She was completely different from the image of a wife he had hoped for before, but he was determined that this person could only be her.

No one but her.

"Whoo~"

Zhu Lerong lifted the quilt and sat up with a determined look.

Now that he has seen clearly what he feels, he will no longer pretend that nothing happened.

Just as my uncle told me, there are not many good girls in the world, and if a good one suddenly appears, everyone will fight for it.

Perhaps in the eyes of the officials and aristocratic families with sons in the capital, Lin Chao was never within their range of choices. After all, she had no parents or sisters to support her, nor did she have a good family background or an official position.

But in Zhu Lerong's opinion, she is good in every way. Maybe she has some shortcomings, but those are her merits.

Therefore, he had to plan for himself early.

In an instant, Zhu Lerong jumped up from the bed and wanted to find Lin Chao to express her feelings.

As his hand touched the door, he paused when he remembered that he was going to meet Lin Chao.

Today he is going to meet his elders, so the clothes he picked are all dignified and steady. Such an outfit can never go wrong in any occasion.

But when Zhu Lerong thought about going to meet Lin Chao, she felt that the clothes were not good. Also, her hair was messed up from hiding under the quilt just now, and needed to be tidied up.

Thinking of this, Zhu Lerong turned around and picked out clothes from the closet. After changing his clothes, he sat in front of the dressing table for a long time.

By the time everything was done to his satisfaction, half an hour had passed.

"It's almost 5pm, Lin Chao should be back."

Zhu Lerong looked at the sky, estimated the time he would appear, then went out of the yard and waited at the door.

Not long after, Lin Chao and Meng Ziye came back together.

It was strange today. Why didn't Meng Ziye go to have dinner with the friends he made at the poetry meeting?

However, since there were outsiders around, Zhu Lerong temporarily put off expressing her feelings, restrained her expression, and stepped forward to ask.

"Why did you come back together today?"

When Meng Ziye saw Zhu Lerong who was carefully dressed up, his eyes lit up. He took a step forward and stood beside Zhu Lerong.

"I just happened to meet him on my way back. The exam is in five days. From today until the start of the imperial examination, I will not go out unless it is necessary."

"I see." Zhu Lerong nodded as if suddenly realizing it, and continued to ask: "Have you had dinner yet? If not, why don't we go out to eat together."

Although the question was directed to two people, Zhu Lerong's gaze was only on one person.

These days, everyone has been busy with their own things and rarely get to eat together. Lin Chao and Meng Ziye had no objection to Zhu Lerong's proposal.

After having dinner at the inn, Meng Ziye went back to review his lessons and left first, leaving Zhu Lerong and Lin Chao behind.

It is getting dark earlier and earlier now. There is no light in the sky when we are still halfway there.

Originally, Lin Chao and Zhu Lerong were walking side by side, but when it got dark, she took a step forward so that Zhu Lerong could only see her back but not the dark road ahead.

What a familiar scene! It instantly made Zhu Lerong feel upset. The surging emotions stimulated her to let the words that had been suppressed due to Meng Ziye's appearance burst out.

"Lin Chao."

Zhu Lerong still called her.

"What's wrong?" Lin Chao turned around and looked at him.

Lin Chao's eyes were still bright and clear, but Zhu Lerong could not see herself in them.

He suddenly had the thought of backing out again.

The reason for his retreat was not only because he was unsure of Lin Chao's feelings, but also because he remembered an event in the past.

A few years ago, Lin Chao was drinking and chatting with her friends, and they talked about the sudden appearance of him. At that time, she seemed to not have the feeling she wanted for him.

"nothing."

After an unknown amount of silence, Zhu Lerong uttered a few words in frustration.

"Then let's go. It's getting dark. We should go back early."

Lin Chao didn't ask any further questions and turned around to continue on his way.

The moon was hanging above the two of them at some point, and a hazy white light poured down from Lin Chao's head, as if the person who was shining was her.

"I have something I want to tell you."

Zhu Lerong bit his lips hard, and suddenly he felt infinite courage. He stood on tiptoe, put his arms around Lin Chao's neck, and pressed his lips against her face.

The kiss was light and airy, like a feather falling on the water.

The difference is that a feather falling on the water surface cannot cause any ripples, but a kiss on Lin Chao's face brings stormy waves to both of their hearts.

Time seemed to stop at this moment, and the sounds of breathing and heartbeats were loud and clear.

What should have been just a few breaths of time seemed particularly long at this moment.

Finally, Lin Chao came back to his senses, put his hands on Zhu Lerong's shoulders, pushed him away carefully, turned his face away, and asked in a muffled voice:

"Rong Le, what are you doing?"

After being pushed away, Zhu Lerong kept covering her lips, as if she was shocked by her own sudden bold action.

After hearing Lin Chao's question, he paused, with a hint of embarrassment in his voice.

"I...I am pleased with you."
