Winter Blazing Wild

Zhou Shenye shook his head and tightened his grip around her waist. "I don't think so. If anyone else feels that way, that's their business."

Yu Tang smiled bitterly, "Your analysis sounds even more selfish."

"That's perfect," Zhou Shenye's voice was tinged with hoarseness. "We are of the same kind, a perfect match."

At this moment, there was a dark light in his eyes that Yu Tang had never noticed before.

Dark and dangerous.

Yu Tang's suppressed emotions surged up, and he stood on tiptoe, "Zhou Shenye, can you kiss me?"

Zhou Shenye's eyes changed slightly, but he didn't take any action.

Just look at her.

Yu Tang didn't wait any longer and kissed him on the lips.

With a bit of biting force.

From the door to the living room, from downstairs to the bedroom upstairs, Yu Tang was the complete leader today, and every movement she made was like an outlet.

Like a fish deliberately allowing itself to drown in an oxygen-deprived sea.

Zhou Shenye was very clear-headed. Not only did he fully cooperate, he also tried his best to give Yu Tang the best service and the most wonderful experience.

Finally, a white light flashed in Yu Tang's head, and she grabbed Zhou Shenye's arm, her fingertips so hard that her nails almost dug into his flesh.

She called his name absentmindedly, "Zhou Shenye... Zhou Shenye..."

Zhou Shenye kissed her forehead lightly, "I'm here."

After it was over, Yu Tang closed his eyes and fell asleep, but he slept uneasily with a frown on his face.

Feeling that Zhou Shenye beside him was about to stand up, Yu Tang reached out and pulled him back, "Don't move."

Zhou Shenye gently propped up her head and said, "Be good, I'll take you to take a shower, otherwise you will feel uncomfortable."

Only then did Yu Tang obediently let him do whatever he wanted.

She closed her eyes and rested the whole time. After Zhou Shenye finished bathing her and drying her hair, he carried her back to bed and asked, "Are you hungry?"

Yu Tang shook his head, sat up and leaned against the headboard, pulling Zhou Shenye's arm, "Stay with me for a while."

The two sat on the bed, Yu Tang leaning his head on Zhou Shenye's shoulder.

The only sounds in the room besides the two people's breathing were the sound of the wind coming from outside the window.

After a long time, Zhou Shenye broke the silence first, "Want to talk to me about something? I'm listening."

Yu Tang's breathing became heavier and he shook his head.

Zhou Shenye pulled her hand and placed it on his leg, transmitting the warmth of his palm to her.

Her skin was still cold.

"Since you came to me when you were unhappy, why don't you trust me a little more? You talk, I listen. Treat me as a trash can for your emotions, and I will take them all in."

Yu Tang suddenly smiled. "You're so good to me, aren't you afraid that I won't be able to leave you in the future?"

"Then don't leave, stay with me forever, I'm willing."

A lifetime...what a scary word.

Yu Tang shook his head and remained silent for a few seconds before finally speaking, "I have a master."

"Ah."

"I'm not a perfumer, I'm an embroidery master. When I was little, my mother and grandmother tried their best to cultivate my perfumery skills. Although I have talent, my mind is restless and it's hard for me to concentrate on this technical job that requires concentration. At that time, my grandmother negotiated with me and said she would fulfill one of my wishes and let me study perfumery in exchange."

Zhou Shenye, "You are indeed not an ordinary person."

"how you said that?"

"If it were another child, they would have asked for toys, money, or travel, but you asked for another heavy burden."

Yu Tang smiled bitterly. "But for me, I don't feel any pressure. It's something I really enjoy. I became his apprentice when I was ten years old, and whenever I have free time, I go to learn embroidery from him. But because it's not my main job, I've always used a pseudonym and never exposed myself in public."

Zhou Shenye nodded, "That's good too. One less identity means one less possibility of being targeted."

"But even so, Master is still being targeted."

Yu Tang's eyes felt tight and sore.

"Master is the last embroidery craftsman in Yuncheng. At the height of his glory, people offered nine figures for a single piece of his work. However, he never pursued money or fame; he simply wanted to pass on his craft."

Zhou Shenye kneaded Yu Tang's fingertips and sighed, "People like this are too easy to make enemies."

"Yes," Yu Tang continued, "Three years ago, Master fell in love with a precious silk thread and spent almost all his money to buy it at an auction. Unexpectedly..."

She choked up a bit, "That auction was too popular and attracted attention. Before I could finish the embroidery with this silk thread, my master had an accident."

Zhou Shenye's heart tightened, "What happened?"

"He fell from the third floor of his studio. He was rescued for a whole week and his life was saved, but his hands were broken and he suffered a severe concussion. He can no longer embroider. His skills... were completely broken."

As he spoke, Yu Tang choked up, and the soreness in his nose became even more severe.

Zhou Shenye took a deep breath. "Whether it was an accident or man-made, it's not your fault. You can't put all the pressure on yourself just because your master is injured."

"No, it's my fault," Yu Tang said, his throat tightening. "Before the accident, Master and I had a disagreement and had a big argument. Perhaps it was during that argument that I exposed myself and Master, and that caused the disaster."

Zhou Shenye's action of pinching Yu Tang's fingertips turned into holding her entire palm.

"I can't save my master, nor can I inherit the skills he has practiced all his life. I feel so useless and selfish."

If he continued talking, Yu Tang's emotions would almost reach the breaking point.

Zhou Shenye put his arm around her shoulders and comforted her, "There will be a way, there will definitely be a way."

Yu Tang slightly distanced herself from him and turned to look at him, "What if the solution I can think of requires some sacrifice?"

"Whose sacrifice?"

"Me, and...you."

Zhou Shenye's body stiffened. "I am willing to sacrifice, but only if I sacrifice with you. Don't do anything stupid without telling me."

"I can't let Master suffer in vain, and I can't let his persistence end abruptly with me. No matter how difficult it is, I have to give it a try."

Zhou Shenye, "I believe you."

After a pause, he looked at her and said seriously, "You have to believe me too."

Originally, he thought that expressing the biggest contradiction and entanglement in his heart would make him feel better, but Yu Tang only felt that his chest was being pulled, becoming heavier and heavier, and falling endlessly.

She raised her head and kissed Zhou Shenye with all her strength.

Zhou Shenye leaned over and accepted her kiss in a passive manner.

This light kiss lingered for a long time. Yu Tang refused to let go, hooked her arms around Zhou Shenye's neck, and kissed him wantonly.

Zhou Shenye was afraid that she would feel uncomfortable hanging in the air, so he lifted her waist and held her in his arms.

Time and space no longer exist at this moment. The two only have each other in their eyes, and all their senses are left with this kiss.

After a long time, Yu Tang stopped, took a deep breath, looked up and asked, "You said you wanted to marry me, does that still count?"
