Chapter 247: Chapter 246: Taking You to Flirt with Girls? (3) Chapter 247: Chapter 246: Taking You to Flirt with Girls? (3) Tang Zelin had intended to pull the girl over for a hug, the little brat–always dampening his spirits. He glanced at the door he had almost kicked in; it was rather… indecent, to say the least.

He got up, propped the door up, blocking the view from outside and the draft blowing through the hallway.

Turning back to continue what he had not finished earlier, he saw Su Shu intending to head to the mushroom area and pulled her back in one swift motion.

“Haven’t I told you not to touch them? Those mushrooms can’t be eaten. Throw them away later.”

“Throw away? Why, they aren’t poisonous.”

“Don’t you know many people in the mountains have been poisoned?” Tang Zelin frowned, looking down at her.

“I know. Grandmother Fu from next door came to visit this morning. But I’ve checked these mushrooms; they aren’t poisonous,” said Su Shu.

Tang Zelin pulled her over, sat her down so that their eyes were level, and asked, “How do you know they are not poisonous? What if something happens?”

Su Shu turned to glance at the pile of mushrooms. How did she know? Because she had eaten them in her past life. Although they weren’t picked from this side of the mountain, aren’t mushrooms the same wherever they grow?

Tall and burly, Tang Zelin sat by the bed, which was just the right height for him to talk to Su Shu comfortably.

The unique fragrance emanating from the girl softened the tense mood that had been building up in him as he rushed over, and Tang Zelin’s tone eased.

“You’re so stubborn. Would I, Tang Zelin, deceive you?” He still gave her a stern glance, although reluctant.

Could this be what they call a love-hate relationship?

Did she realize that as soon as he heard about the poisonings back at the base, he had rushed up the mountain without even changing his clothes? And when he had finally made it to her, there she was, with that innocent little face, just making his heartache worse.

Su Shu had not seen him for several days, and now that she saw him, her heart began to thump wildly.

Holding her wrist, Tang Zelin noticed the watch on it and, without a word, lifted it to check the time.

“I can only stay for two more minutes. I have to go down to the hospital to see how serious the situation has become. You stay home and be good, don’t go back into the mountains to pick any more, and don’t eat these. Just leave them be, and we’ll talk after the government researchers have examined them.”

After checking the time, he leaned in and playfully nipped at her delicate wrist.

The pale imprints of his teeth on her tender wrist made Tang Zelin’s eyes burn with desire.

Suddenly bitten by the man, Su Shu felt a tingling itch on her wrist. She had many ticklish spots on her body and, struggling to hold back, tried to pull her wrist away, only to be fiercely glared at by him.

“Just two minutes, can’t you accompany me?”

Su Shu was at a loss for words: “…”

Big brother, when have I ever not kept you company when you came back to see me?

After a moment of silence, Su Shu suddenly remembered something: “Tang… ah, Zelin.”

At her words, the man’s stern expression broke into a smile, confidently saying, “Speak.”

“I’ve been meaning to ask you something.”

“Yeah, ask away,” he said as he casually checked the time on her wrist again, “there’s still one minute and fifteen seconds left.”

“Didn’t you say you had already submitted a marriage report to the organization above?”

Tang Zelin hummed inquisitively, looking up at her, curious why she had suddenly brought it up today.

Su Shu tilted her head slightly and asked, “Did the army approve it?”

Tang Zelin stiffened, his mind racing–could she be hinting at some situation?

Or had she heard something she shouldn’t have?

Su Shu saw the shift in his expression after she spoke; his eyes dimmed.

She wondered if things had not gone smoothly.

She had heard that military marriage political screenings were very strict. Was there something about her that did not meet the criteria?

They were so close, yet suddenly she felt as if the joy that had been pressing on her heart might be nipped in the bud.
