Warm my heart

"Ah, Jiu?" Her voice trembled slightly.

She suddenly realized her careless slip of the tongue.

Her cheeks flushed involuntarily.

Almost instinctively, she wanted to cover her mouth with her hands.

Uncle Jiu heard Tingting call him Ajiu.

I couldn't help but feel an inexplicable excitement in my heart.

He felt his whole body go numb, as if surrounded by flames.

He wanted to jump into cold water immediately to calm the heat in his heart.

His eyes were fixed on Tingting's alluring cat eyes.

The voice was firm but gentle: "Yes, call me Jiu."

He didn't even notice.

The tension made my hands clench unconsciously.

The blue veins are faintly protruding under the skin.

"I, I..., do you like me or not?" Tingting's voice was low and trembling.

After saying this, her little face turned red.

She lowered her head, not daring to look directly into her master's eyes, her heart filled with anticipation and anxiety.

Uncle Jiu's face was solemn, and his voice was as firm as an oath: "I, Lin Jiu, dare to swear in front of the ancestors that I will only love Ren Tingting in this life."

Tingting was shocked by her master's words. Her heart beat faster and almost jumped out of her chest.

"You, I..., let me think about it."

She said it hurriedly, turned around and ran back to the room, closed the door, leaned against the door and slowly slid to the ground.

Her heart was still beating wildly and her thoughts were in a mess.

Ren Tingting lay on the bed, feeling confused.

Her fingers touched her lips, where the warmth of her master seemed to still remain.

She thought back to the kiss she had just had; it was a feeling she had never experienced before, sweet and heart-pounding.

The master's words echoed in her ears. He said he wanted to marry her.

How could she feel sweet?

Does she really like Master too?

The thought made her both panic and excited.

Her mood was like a roller coaster, up and down, difficult to calm down.

"Ah...what the hell is going on!"

Uncle Jiu was also tossing and turning in his room.

This night was destined to be a sleepless night for them.

The next morning.

Ren Tingting's mood was still complicated.

She stood by the window, her heart filled with anxiety.

She didn't know what to do.

Suddenly, a series of knocks on the door broke her thoughts.

"Tingting, look, is it still raining?"

Uncle Jiu's voice came from outside the door.

Sounds a little nervous.

Ren Tingting hurriedly replied: "Right away, right away."

She quickly sat down in front of the mirror and checked her appearance.

It's as if she didn't wear lip balm.

The hair is also a little messy.

She hurried to tidy herself up.

After some busy work, she finally opened the door.

Uncle Jiu was standing outside the door when he saw Tingting.

His eyes lit up involuntarily.

Tingting is dressed simply today.

But there is an indescribable beauty, as if she is a fairy who is not of this world.

He felt an urge to hug her.

His eyes involuntarily fell on her bright red lips.

I felt an urge to kiss her.

Ren Tingting noticed Uncle Jiu's gaze and her cheeks couldn't help but blush.

She lowered her head slightly, avoiding his gaze, feeling both anticipation and fear.

Uncle Jiu cleared his throat.

Trying to cover up his own gaffe, he said, "Well, the rain seems to have subsided a bit. Can we go out now?"

His voice trembled slightly as he tried his best to remain calm.

Ren Tingting nodded, her voice just as gentle: "Okay, Master."

There was a barely perceptible tremor in her voice.

As the bicycle wheel turns.

The sky has cleared.

The sunlight shone on them through the gaps in the clouds, bringing a touch of warmth to the early morning.

They simply had some steamed buns for breakfast.

Then he continued on his journey back to Renjia Town.

The bicycle bumped along the country road.

There was a delicate silence between the two of them.

Uncle Jiu's eyes fell on Tingting from time to time.

His eyes were full of concern and expectation.

But the words seemed to be stuck in his throat.

As time went by, they were getting closer and closer to Renjia Town.

Uncle Jiu became more and more anxious.

He must get Tingting's answer before arriving in town.

"Tingting, what have you thought about it?"

Uncle Jiu finally mustered up the courage, his voice trembling slightly.

Even the strongest person will become helpless when facing love.

Ren Tingting was silent for a while.

Then he answered softly: "I, you, you talk to my dad."

Although this sentence is simple, it is like the sound of nature to Uncle Jiu.

Uncle Jiu's face showed an unconcealable joy.

His heart was filled with excitement.

He is finally getting out of being single.

Uncle Jiu's heart was filled with tension and anticipation.

He decided to ask a matchmaker to propose marriage as soon as he returned.

When I sent Ren Tingting to her doorstep.

Uncle Jiu simply said, "Tingting, wait for me."

After saying this, he was like a young boy who had just fallen in love.

He hurriedly rode his bike to find the matchmaker.

Ren Tingting was waiting anxiously at home.

Two days seemed both long and short to her.

She was sometimes anxious and sometimes angry.

I thought silently in my heart: "Why hasn't Master come yet?"

I even thought in anger: "Humph, if you don't come, I won't marry you."

Just as she was waiting anxiously.

That day, I suddenly heard a noise coming from outside the door.

The entire Ren Mansion became bustling with activity. Ren Tingting felt something in her heart.

I secretly walked to the front hall to peek and found that it seemed to be the matchmaker.

Her heartbeat quickened, and a surge of joy surged in her heart: "Could it be that Master has arrived? So soon."

She was surprised and excited.

I didn't expect Uncle Jiu to be so quick.

The atmosphere in the Ren family's front hall was very lively.

Ren Fa watched as a group of people brought eighteen gifts into the house with the sound of gongs and drums.

His expression was a little complicated.

Ren Fa asked doubtfully, "Uncle Jiu, what is this?"

Didn’t Tingting tell her father?

Uncle Jiu stood beside the ceremonial procession and replied, "Master Ren, this is the gift money and gifts I brought with me to propose marriage. I hope to gain your consent to let me marry Tingting."

Ren Fa understood it in his heart.

Tingting has already revealed Uncle Jiu's feelings to him.

He still wanted to test Uncle Jiu.

As a father, he naturally did not want to marry off his precious daughter easily.

Especially marrying an older man who is so much older than her daughter.

But at the same time, he also knew what kind of person Uncle Jiu was.

Apart from being a little older, Uncle Jiu was one of the few people around here whom he could safely entrust his daughter to.

Ren Fa thought to himself, "This old guy is only a few years younger than me, but he is so much older than my daughter."

Although he was somewhat dissatisfied, his attitude softened when he saw Uncle Jiu's sincerity and his deep affection for Tingting.

Ren Fa pondered for a moment, then said, "Uncle Jiu, I see your intentions.

But marriage is a serious matter, and I need to think about it."

Uncle Jiu replied respectfully, "Master Ren, I understand your concerns. I will patiently await your response."

Ren Tingting hid behind the screen and secretly observed everything.

Her heart was in her throat, she was both nervous and excited.

She knew that her father was concerned about Uncle Jiu's age.
