"I promise you too!" Duan Aihua finally shook her head helplessly, "You can come down now! What I’m agreeing to now is that you can date, but it’s not marriage!"
"Shuangshuang, did you hear that? Uncle and Auntie have agreed that we can date. Come down quickly," Tian Niu said as he cautiously walked toward Gu Shuangshuang.
"Alright! I believe you," Gu Shuangshuang said, and then she jumped down from the window.
"My ancestor!" Duan Aihua rushed forward and embraced Gu Shuangshuang, "You really are my nemesis!"
Gu Yishan, whose heart had been in his throat, let out a sigh of relief. He pulled out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his palms, "You’re not allowed to act so recklessly in the future!"
Gu Shuangshuang looked at her father seriously, "I wasn’t being reckless, I really was going to jump!"
"Alright, enough. Now that Tian Niu is here, go and talk things over with him! Disappear from my sight quickly, my heart can’t take it," Duan Aihua waved her hand and shooed the two of them away.
.................................
The dim light from the street lamps, the north wind whirling the fallen leaves in the air, the bare plane trees making whooshing sounds in the wind.
Gu Shuangshuang stood under the street lamp, pulling her neck in from the cold, ceaselessly blowing warmth into her palms.
Tian Niu draped his warm, hot sheepskin coat over Gu Shuangshuang, his rough hands clutching her small ones tightly, and said with emotion, "Shuangshuang, you scared me to death just now! Do you know what I was thinking at that time?"
"Hm? What were you thinking?" Gu Shuangshuang tilted her head and looked at him.
"I was thinking if you really fell, I would go down with you!"
"Fool!" Gu Shuangshuang laughed with a snort, "What? Were you planning to die with me in a lovers’ suicide? I wouldn’t jump! If my parents didn’t agree, at worst I would come down. And then I’d slowly wear them down! There’s a saying, ’As long as the green hills last, there’ll be wood to burn!’ I just understand my mom too well, she’s a typical ’won’t shed a tear until she sees the coffin’ kind of person! Without putting some pressure on her, she would be the one to drive you to death first!"
Tian Niu’s face darkened, and with his big shiny black eyes, he said sternly, "Gu Shuangshuang, I have to criticize you!"
"You criticize me?" Gu Shuangshuang laughed heartily, "If it wasn’t for that, what else could you do?"
"I must criticize you! What you did was very dangerous! Regardless of anything, your parents love you, that’s why they act this way! But threatening them , I don’t think it’s right. Most importantly, I don’t want you to use yourself as a bargaining chip when negotiating with them," Tian Niu said firmly, his expression serious.
Although Gu Shuangshuang’s actions had fought for their love this time!
But he had to make her realize that her approach was dangerous and unacceptable!
Seeing Tian Niu angry, Gu Shuangshuang lowered her head, "Okay! I admit I was a bit too anxious! I promise I won’t make such dangerous moves in the future."
"Good. That’s right. Don’t worry, I will prove to them that I can bring you happiness! I will make them entrust you to me with confidence!"
"I believe you! Old Niu!" Gu Shuangshuang snuggled into his arms.
Tian Niu lifted his arms to embrace this soft body, and looking down at her, he said with a panting voice, "Your actions this time were too dangerous. To make you remember the lesson, I’ve decided to punish you!"
"Punish? How will you punish me?" Gu Shuangshuang looked up at him, her eyes sparkling like the stars in the night sky.
