Chapter 1865: Shy? (3)
EndlessFantasy Translation
The dinner was not very sumptuous, but it was still a decent meal.
Zhou Zimo’s cooking was not very good, but it was better than Qin Su’s.
Qin Su’s appetite was not small either. After a meal, Zhou Zimo did not eat much. More than half of the food was taken care of by Qin Su, he only drank some wine and ate a few bites of the side dishes.
He was not in the mood right now, but watching her eat like this was pretty good.
Perhaps sensing his gaze, Qin Su stopped what she was doing. She raised her gaze and looked over as well, taking in his expression. Zhou Zimo did not expect her to suddenly raise her head, at this moment, the smile on her face froze momentarily. A moment later, she coughed lightly and lowered her head silently. If one paid attention, they could see Zhou Zimo’s slightly flushed handsome face.
Qin Su gave him a side glance and finally opened her mouth to break the silence between the two of them. “Do you feel hot?”
Zhou Zimo paused after being asked by her. He glanced at her and said, “I’m…”
“Shy?”
Qin Su cut him off immediately. She raised her wine glass and slightly toasted him. “I had a bad attitude earlier. We live under the same roof and I have such a personality, I hope you can forgive me. Of course, I also hope that we can understand each other.”
“Qin Su, do you know what our relationship is now?”
After Qin Su said this, Zhou Zimo suddenly asked this question.
When Qin Su heard this, she raised her beautiful eyebrows slightly and looked quietly at him, waiting for his reply.
“You had previously promised to be my girlfriend, my future marriage partner, and even my fiancée and future wife. But now, you don’t have the awareness to be with me at all. I feel that we need to have a good talk.”
Zhou Zimo finished the wine in his glass in one gulp and suddenly said that.
Hearing that, a strange light flashed across Qin Su’s eyes, as if he was trying hard to think of something. After a moment, he said calmly, “I’ve agreed to stay with you, and that’s already the best I can do. I can’t accept someone so rashly. If two people are together, it will be more tiring. It’s better to be alone. Actually, I don’t believe that you, Zhou Zimo, would really look forward to a marriage if it wasn’t for the pressure from your family.”
Qin Su had hit the nail on the head. Although Zhou Zimo felt uncomfortable, he did not deny it. What she said made sense, and he did not refute her.
“I’m actually very clear about my feelings, my life, and my attitude towards work. You know that I am a rigid person too. In the military region, the most important thing is to obey orders. There are rules to everything, and I have always been the same. I can accept all the arrangements in the organization, even if they are far-fetched. However, feelings are different. You were once a soldier, so you should understand this more than I do.”
Qin Su thought for a moment and explained.
“Besides, I might not stay here forever. I want to return to the Northwest Military Region. That place is more suitable for me…”
“No!”
Before Qin Su could finish her words, Zhou Zimo interrupted her coldly. A trace of coldness could not help but appear in his deep eyes—
“I will definitely not let you return to the Northwest. Qin Su, what’s wrong with staying here? Am I a monster? To make you avoid me like I’m dangerous or threatening?”
Although Zhou Zimo’s voice was calm, it suddenly filled the air with a hint of coldness.
“It’s not because of you, it’s because of me. I don’t like this city very much. Without my familiar comrades, the smoke of war makes me feel tired every time. When I get there, I can be more free.”
As Qin Su spoke, she raised her head and drank up the wine in her cup. Her beautiful eyebrows were knitted together, and there was actually a hint of sadness in her eyes.
In fact, Zhou Zimo had never seen Qin Su like this before.
Perhaps it was because her world was too peaceful and uneventful, so she was a little tired of such days.
“Don’t go back. Can’t you stay here? Your home is right here. Where else do you want to go?”
Zhou Zimo stared at her and asked in a low voice.
Qin Su did not answer. She only raised her eyes to look at him before reaching out to pour some wine for him and then poured some for herself.
“Uncle and Auntie won’t let you go back either.”
Zhou Zimo added on.
Qin Su’s eyes fell silent for a moment before she shook her head disapprovingly. “No, if I insist, they won’t be able to force me. The reason I chose to compromise this time was because I was worried about my mother’s health. But now, it seems that I was worrying too much.”
“What about you? Don’t you think about yourself?”
Zhou Zimo’s brows furrowed even tighter. “And, you promised me.”
“I know, I won’t go back on my words. But, I hope that we can let nature take its course. At least, even if we can’t be together in the future, there’s no need for everyone to feel awkward. Moreover, your father and my father are people who often interact with each other. Although I’m not a kind person, I can’t bear to see them put in a difficult position.”
“If you don’t want them to make things difficult for you, then just stay by my side. We will definitely get married in the end.”
Zhou Zimo had never doubted this point. To be honest, he, Zhou Zimo, had been fantasizing about their married life these past few days. Furthermore, he was very certain that if his partner was Qin Su, he would be willing to step into the wedding hall.
“Why are you so certain?”
Qin Su would not think that Zhou Zimo had fallen in love with her. The way he was right now seemed to make her feel that something was off. Even if she had saved Zhou Zimo’s life previously, it did not seem like Zhou Zimo would be willing to return the favor with marriage, this was not Zhou Zimo’s style.
Therefore, Qin Su kept feeling like something was strange. However, she could not pinpoint the exact reason.
Zhou Zimo smiled but did not answer. He just stared at her quietly.
The doubt in Qin Su’s heart deepened, and she roughly sorted out the recent events. Suddenly, Zhou Zimo’s feelings came too suddenly, making her…
“You’ll know in the future.”
The corner of Zhou Zimo’s mouth curled up into a warm smile—
He could not tell her directly about what they had done with each other. Otherwise, with her character, she would probably…

“This time, don’t leave. If you don’t like your current job, just change it. If you really like that place, I’ll accompany you back when I’m free in the future. I miss that place a little too.”
Zhou Zimo’s voice softened. As he spoke, he even picked up some vegetables from Qin Su’s empty bowl. “No matter what, don’t let down our previous resolve and our agreement.”
Qin Su was quiet for a moment. Then, she picked up her wine and drank it. Her expression was a little different from before.
