"Tang Brother, you’re not cold anymore, are you?" Jiang Weiwei said with a smile.
Tang Zhong indeed was not cold anymore.
The two of them looked into each other’s eyes.
Jiang Weiwei had a smile on her face and seemed much happier than usual; in fact, she had never been this happy before.
"No... I’m not cold anymore!" Tang Zhong said.
"If you’re cold, you can come closer, and I’ll warm your hands," Jiang Weiwei said.
"Ah!" But Tang Zhong didn’t move.
Jiang Weiwei, however, moved even closer.
"I like you, Tang Brother," Jiang Weiwei said.
Upon hearing this, Tang Zhong was slightly stunned. He was about to move but eventually stopped.
However, Tang Zhong was getting more and more nervous.
He liked Weiwei, but he had never thought that he and Weiwei would end up together .
"Hehe, being with Tang Brother is so much fun," Jiang Weiwei murmured.
She was indeed very happy.
For the first time in her life, she was this happy.
Jiang Weiwei then closed her eyes, and even breathing could be heard.
Tang Zhong had been looking at the ceiling, but when he heard the breathing next to him, he turned his head and saw the woman beside him. He cracked a smile; seeing her sleep so peacefully made him happy too. Weren’t all his efforts over the years just to protect this woman and keep the Tang family safe?
A surge of emotion welled up in his heart; he wanted to swear that he would protect this girl for a lifetime, a lifetime!
Looking at her fair cheek, Tang Zhong almost wanted to lean in and give her a kiss.
A light kiss, and Tang Zhong kissed Jiang Weiwei’s forehead. After about ten seconds, he let go.
But the next second, Tang Zhong was scared out of his wits when he saw Jiang Weiwei’s eyes wide open, staring right at him.
"Ah..." Tang Zhong was so frightened that he almost jumped up.
"Haha!" Jiang Weiwei saw Tang Zhong’s expression and giggled uncontrollably.
"You... you weren’t asleep!" Tang Zhong said in astonishment.
"Are you silly? How could I fall asleep that fast!" Jiang Weiwei laughed.
"Oh, then you should go to sleep now!" Tang Zhong couldn’t help urging her.
If Jiang Weiwei didn’t sleep, he couldn’t either.
"Okay!" Jiang Weiwei nodded and then closed her eyes again.
After seeing this, Tang Zhong then looked back at the ceiling, knowing that tonight, he was destined to be sleepless!
But he had not yet managed to move.
"Tang Brother!" Jiang Weiwei’s voice came again.
"Ah!" Tang Zhong immediately responded, just about to turn his head to see what was happening with Jiang Weiwei.
"Don’t turn around, absolutely don’t..." Jiang Weiwei’s urgent voice came through.
Tang Zhong was just about to move, but his head froze: "Okay... okay, I won’t turn around!"
The room was very quiet. He could hear his heartbeat pounding.
People only feel this nervous in the most tense moments!
The scene once again fell into stillness.
"Weiwei..." Tang Zhong tried to break the silence, after all, Jiang Weiwei needed to rest.
Tang Zhong could of course feel that Jiang Weiwei was troubled!
These issues had to be resolved; he didn’t want to see his woman suffering.
But before Tang Zhong could speak again.
Jiang Weiwei suddenly appeared in front of Tang Zhong.
"Weiwei, what’s wrong?" Tang Zhong had to figure out what exactly was happening!
Who knew, Jiang Weiwei didn’t move, her gaze fixed on Tang Zhong, tears welled up in her eyes.
"Weiwei, what’s wrong?" Tang Zhong immediately became anxious. Just a moment ago nothing was wrong, how come she started crying now? That was too sudden.
"Tang Brother, do you like me?" Jiang Weiwei asked tearfully, her watery eyes staring at Tang Zhong.
"Like... no, I love you!" Tang Zhong said. He spoke from his heart.
He loved Jiang Weiwei; some loves infiltrate the marrow, reaching into the soul, and fortunately, the woman beside him was just that.
"Really?" Jiang Weiwei heard this, her tear-filled eyes instantly widened, staring at Tang Zhong.
"Of course!" Tang Zhong nodded, then reached out to stroke Jiang Weiwei’s head. "I definitely love you, but you have to tell me, why did you suddenly start crying?"
Soon, Jiang Weiwei fell silent again, and tears began to well up once more: "I... I won’t say, I’m afraid..."
"Afraid of what? If anyone dares to bully you, Brother will stand by your side and help you bully them back, so don’t be scared!" Tang Zhong said.
"No... I’m not afraid of someone bullying me, I’m afraid..." Jiang Weiwei could not finish.
"Just speak out what you’re afraid of, I’m listening!" Tang Zhong said.
"I’m afraid you’ll laugh at me!" Jiang Weiwei said.
"Laugh at you!" Tang Zhong couldn’t understand: "Come on, tell me, how would I laugh at you?"
"I... I thought you didn’t like me anymore!" Jiang Weiwei said, and as she spoke, tears streamed down her face again.
"Ah?" Tang Zhong was confused again, eager to understand why: "You said..."
"Actually, I understand everything. I know why Yuqing and the others came to Tang’s family—it must be because of you. Women understand women best. They must like you too. I understand that, you being so outstanding, of course, many women would like you. I am scared, they are all so pretty, so young, what if they take you away from me? What would I do then?" Jiang Weiwei muttered.
When Tang Zhong heard this, his jaw almost hit the floor; what a bizarre logic indeed!
