Do You Want to Marry Me? Chapter 34

Chapter 34

It was summer in Pattaya all year round. Lu An wore an ordinary cotton gray short-sleeved s.h.i.+rt. Because of the heat, the sleeves were rolled up to his shoulders, revealing the smooth lines of his arms. His eyelids drooped slightly as he stood under the blue sky and looked at the clear sea, but his expression was indifferent. Anyone who looked at him would have thought that this man was extremely cool.

Jin Nian had sensed his low mood and asked tentatively, “Lu An, are you unhappy?” After a long time, Lu An finally said, “Xie He is getting married again. She never seems to care about me. Am I dispensable in her world?” Lu An had never had troubles that money could solve. In this world, Jin Nian couldn’t think of any troubles that couldn’t be solved with money, so she had always taken it for granted that Lu An wouldn’t have any troubles. He was born with a golden spoon and had everything he wanted.

Unlike her, who had to beg Teacher Tan for days to buy a figurine. However, when Lu An’s mother, Xie He, got remarried in his second year of high school, Young Master Lu felt depressed for a long time. During the few days in Pattaya, Lu An had almost written a few words on his forehead, “I’m very annoyed.” Jin Nian didn’t know how to comfort Lu An when Xie He got remarried. The only thing she could do was to accompany him on the field and watch him sweat without saying a word.

During those few days, Lu An didn’t have a good expression on his face. When he pa.s.sed by someone, someone knocked Jin Nian to the ground and left without even apologizing. Lu An wasn’t someone to be trifled with. He had chased after the other party and punched him. He was at a hot-blooded age, 1.85 meters tall, and he did not know how to fight. Jin Nian quickly stepped forward to stop him and tugged at Lu An’s arm to persuade him. Unable to persuade him, she had simply stood under Lu An’s fist and had said softly, “If you want to hit me, then hit me. I won’t let the teacher know, and you don’t have to be recorded. But can you be gentler?” Lu An stopped. He said coldly to that person, “Watch when you are walking.” Jin Nian had taken the opportunity to pull him away and said while walking, “I’m fine. Why did you suddenly hit someone?” Lu An’s face was calm. “What’s the mouth used for? Just panting? Can’t even say an apology?” Jin Nian had jogged over to buy him a bottle of cold soda and said righteously, “From now on, we’ll be good brothers for life. We’ll be together forever.” “Forever?” Lu An scoffed. However, he still smiled. He grabbed Jin Nian by the back of her neck with one hand and dragged her home like a puppy.

Jin Nian had followed Lu An all that time and became a very competent follower. She only reached his shoulder. The two of them often walked in the middle of summer nights, casting shadows of one tall and one low in the faint moonlight.

No one would want their mother to get divorced and remarried one after another. It had been said that things never happened more than three times, but today was already Xie He’s fourth marriage. Jin Nian realized that Lu An’s mood probably was not any better than hers. The Ferris wheel rose slowly. Perhaps she had inherited her mother’s genes. After a while, Jin Nian couldn’t help but say, “You need to change your temper. If you keep a cold face, your future girlfriend won’t be able to take it.” Lu An rolled his eyes at her, telling her to stop nagging. “Look out the window.” The amus.e.m.e.nt park covered an area of about 700,000 square meters. It was a combination of more than 100 sub-projects such as theme, singing and dancing, and food city. When the Ferris wheel rose into the air, the entire amus.e.m.e.nt park could be seen.

It was so extravagant that only the two of them could see such a beautiful scenery. Jin Nian had cried out in surprise and leaned against the gla.s.s to look down. Suddenly, she heard Lu An say indifferently, “You’re worrying for nothing. I don’t have a girlfriend.” Jin Nian turned her head, and Lu An’s face had been right in front of her. However, he was looking out of the window, not at her.

Jin Nian had suddenly forgotten what she was going to refute and just stared at him blankly. Had Lu An’s skin always been this good? Why didn’t she notice it before? Many people would get pimples in middle school and high school, and Jin Nian was no exception. Thinking about it, Lu An seemed to have never had pimples. The face in front of her was flawless and had a clear jawline. The little hair on his face made him look harmless. Jin Nian suddenly wanted to figure it out, but she quickly denied this ridiculous idea. What kind of joke was this? What was the difference between this kind of behavior and plucking fur from a tiger’s b.u.t.t?

Lu An turned around and saw that Jin Nian was in a daze. “What are you looking at?” Jin Nian suddenly felt guilty, and she quickly sat down, making up a story. Since they met at the airport, they had been disturbed by all kinds of things and hadn’t had a chance to sit down and talk properly. Jin Nian had a lot of questions about Lu An.
