Chapter 185 What's wrong with her today? Why did she suddenly become so love-struck?
That wasn't what I originally meant; I just didn't want the atmosphere to be so awkward.
Who would have thought that trying to make conversation would backfire?
To be honest, his leadership as a county magistrate, taking the lead in battle, was certainly an inspiration.
Furthermore, in terms of combat prowess, they are definitely among the top few.
Lin Chang'er pouted.
That's not what I meant.
"I was just kidding."
The two spoke at the same time. Lin Chang'er looked up and bumped into Wu Qingfeng. The two lowered their eyes and smiled.
That night, Lin Chang'er tossed and turned, unable to sleep; she was never one to suffer from internal strife.
So even in the early days after transmigrating, when the Gu family was penniless and nearly 10 people were waiting for food, he never suffered from insomnia.
But tonight, she couldn't sleep.
The image of Wu Qingfeng holding her hand and placing the little golden flower in her palm kept replaying in her mind.
I could even feel the warmth of his hand on the back of my hand.
Even though he hadn't done anything, Lin Chang'er felt that she might be overthinking things.
She sat up abruptly, took a deep breath, and went to the backyard by the moonlight. She drew a bucket of well water and splashed it on her face to calm herself down.
In both her lifetimes combined, she had never even held a man's hand, let alone dated or married.
That must be it. No man has ever been so intimate with her before, which is why she's having all sorts of wild thoughts.
Lin Chang'er nodded, muttering to herself, "That must be it. You've achieved a small goal, how could you be lured away by a little golden flower? Besides, she doesn't mean it."
"It's so embarrassing to have such random and unfounded thoughts."
"What do you mean is definitely right?"
The sudden male voice startled Lin Chang'er.
Looking in the direction of the moonlight, she saw a tall, slender figure dressed in a bamboo-green robe, who had appeared before her at some point.
Lin Chang'er: "..."
Lin Chang'er patted her chest. "Why do you walk so quietly? You're so scary, you could scare someone to death."
Wu Qingfeng chuckled, "I've called you several times already." He couldn't sleep tonight, so he got up to walk around.
When I opened the door, I saw her coming out of the room, so I followed her to the backyard.
Seeing her talking to herself, I thought she was sleepwalking.
Lin Chang'er said "Oh," a look of embarrassment flashing across her face. But the sound she had just murmured must have been very soft, right?
She must have been the only one who heard it, right?
Otherwise, he certainly wouldn't have only asked that one question.
Lin Chang'er nodded affirmatively, "Why aren't you asleep yet? It's so late."
Wu Qingfeng looked at her, "Just like you."
Lin Chang'er choked. Who was like him? Only if you knew why she couldn't sleep would you be the same.
Of course, Lin Chang'er couldn't say that she couldn't sleep because of his sudden intimate behavior. "The weather is getting hotter and hotter, so I got up to cool my hands."
Wu Qingfeng naturally wouldn't call her out on her lack of tact, "Want to go get some fresh air?"
Lin Chang'er looked at him. She had only said it casually, but she hadn't been able to sleep anyway. "Is that okay?"
However, "the pirates landed tonight. Although we fought one battle, we're afraid they might launch a counterattack. The village has increased patrols, so if you go out..."
If someone sees this in the middle of the night, it will only cause more trouble.
"Don't go out." Wu Qingfeng smiled at her. "Come with me."
Lin Chang'er was stunned. Her hand was then enveloped by another warm, large hand. After taking a few more steps, her waist tightened, and she was lifted into the air. Before she could react, she was already sitting on the high firewall.
Lin Chang'er looked at the man beside her. He had a gentle expression and smiled at her. He casually leaned back and rested his head on his hands while lying on the roof.
"The moon is beautiful tonight, and the stars are bright."
The night breeze carried a slight coolness, and its gentle touch made one feel refreshed.
Lin Chang'er looked up. The environmental pollution in this era was not so serious. There were no sandstorms or smog. The sky was blue, and the Milky Way looked cleaner than in later generations.
This was the first time she had seriously appreciated the moonlight since arriving in this time and space.
This feeling is wonderful; it would be even better with milk tea, barbecue, and crayfish.
If all else fails, you can substitute beer for milk tea.
"What are you thinking about?"
Lin Chang'er rested her chin on her hand, "It would be even better with some barbecue and a little wine."
Wu Qingfeng paused, then sat up. "What's so difficult about that?"
Lin Chang'er looked at him. Of course, it wasn't difficult, but she just wanted to eat something ready-made.
No one knows how the man saw through her, but he left her with the words, "Wait a moment," and then jumped down.
Lin Chang'er watched the man's figure disappear into the night, feeling somewhat amused, and then lay down to admire the moonlight.
In her later life, she often heard people say that girls in love would become more temperamental.
Indeed, it's not surprising that one grows up from doing everything personally to having someone wait on them for everything.
But, pshaw, pshaw, what passionate love?
What's wrong with her today? She suddenly became obsessed with love.
What's so great about dating? Is it as fun as making money?
Especially in this era of imperfect marriage laws, there were countless Chen Shimeis (men who abandon their wives and children to their deaths), but only one Bao Zheng (a famous judge in Chinese history). How could he possibly manage them all? Countless women were ruined by scumbag men, wasting their lives in the inner quarters and dying in despair.
She is a strong woman who has been influenced by the ideas of the new era; how could she indulge in romantic love?
However, children will eventually grow up and have their own families, and Grandma Gu and her family are slowly getting old.
And what about her?
After raising the children and caring for Granny Gu until her death, will she live out her days alone?
Lin Chang'er pursed her lips, but actually, she didn't seem to be so opposed to dating anymore.
For women in the new era, marriage is not a necessity; if one doesn't work out, they can find a better one.
However, Wu Qingfeng's identity seems to be a bit troublesome.
Backed by the prestigious family of the Prince of Zhenbei's Mansion in the capital, and more importantly, judging from the current situation, their character is not bad.
Although they get along without any problems right now, Lin Chang'er understands the situation very well.
How could a prominent family, raising its eldest son and grandson according to the standards of an heir, possibly have a future with a countrywoman, especially a widow?
Once his three-year term is up, he will return to the capital and follow the path laid out for him by his family to gradually ascend to the pinnacle of power.
If you don't care about the outcome, he is still a good person to associate with.
Unfortunately, she is a realistic person who values results.
After all, who would want to spend three years in a relationship that is destined to have no future?
She doesn't judge by gains or losses, nor does she say who suffered more or less; she doesn't consider herself that carefree.
She wasn't stupid; she wasn't completely oblivious to Wu Qingfeng's overtures and consideration.
Otherwise, so many beautiful feelings wouldn't have stirred in her heart, but she had already made up her mind.
You should keep your distance from him. After all, given his circumstances, it wouldn't be difficult for him to find a confidante to comfort him during his lonely three-year term.
In fact, if he were to reveal even a hint of this, plenty of people would be willing to send him women.
This was reality. Lin Chang'er gazed at the vast starry sky, utterly clear-headed.
