"you……"

"I, cough..." After a long look at each other, seeing that Lin Yu never spoke, He Ze let go of his shoulder and scratched his head and said, "That's it, just like what I said to Aunt Lin just now, maybe this matter was a bit sudden by me, but..."

"He Ze, don't say anything more," Lin Yu raised his head before he finished speaking, "I know you said that on purpose just now to protect me. There are no outsiders now, you are not allowed to say this again in the future!"

"...Why not?" He Ze was stunned for a moment, but laughed in anger. "Protection? OK, just pretend I said so deliberately to protect you just now, then why protect you? What is the reason?"

"you--"

"Can't say it? If you can't say it, listen to me," He Ze leaned closer to Lin Yu's face, looked at his shadow in his pupils, and said word by word, "Protection, yes, Lin Yu, I want to protect you, because you will feel angry when you see you are hurt by those words, and you will be so angry that you want to kill people. As for why, it is because..."

"Let's say it! Let's say I'll beat you up!"

Lin Yu stared at his eyes, gritted his teeth, and clenched his fists in his hand, just like a little leopard who was holding his strength. He was in a disagreement and rushed to He Ze.

"...Wealth cannot solve the problem. You have to listen to me and finish it, right?" He Ze touched his forehead and couldn't help but sigh.

"Anyway, you are not allowed to say this anymore, no... you are not allowed to marry me!"

Lin Yu said and turned around again. He Ze could only see the tense back of his hands on his legs and the congested and raised phalanx.

“…Okay, if not, it won’t be accurate.”

If I don’t allow me to marry, wouldn’t it be better to wait for you to marry? Marry, marry, is it so unfamiliar to say it to someone who is the same sex. He Ze thought he would be unaccustomed to it, but he didn’t expect that everything in front of Lin Yu would become natural.

Just like the title of daughter-in-law, how good. If one day can speak it openly, it should be very good, right?

He Ze looked at Lin Yu's back and a chuckle broke out from his throat. The next second he wrapped his fist that he was still clenched into his palm. The cold temperature from there made him frown in an instant, "Why is this hand still cold after running for so long?"

"you……"

"Don't move," Seeing that Lin Yu wanted to pull his hand out again, He Ze added strength to his hand and gently wiped the back of his hand with his fingers, "Listen to me first."

"I have said before that those messy rumors and fate are nonsense. I have never believed it, and you can't believe it. As for my father, Am and Aunt Lin, I can solve everything. There is only one thing, do you... do you want to marry me?"

“…”

"Although I'm a little younger than you, it probably won't have any impact, right?" He Ze pursed his lips. He didn't know if there was a saying about holding a gold brick in his junior year. "In addition, although I can't beat you, I can't bully you. I can still fight with you, just like last time I hunted a bear, and I can do anything. I like you too, and I will never set any rules for you. Xiao An also likes you, and my family will not make things difficult for you... In summary, do you want to marry me?"

“…”

After not hearing Lin Yu's answer for a long time, He Ze looked up at him again, "Also, no matter what... I am better than a stranger, right?"

He must have this confidence.

"I……"

After a long time, Lin Yu finally turned his head. This time his eyes were no longer red, but his face was flushed. He Ze felt anxious and raised his hand and wanted to touch it, "You are..."

"Stand there and don't move, don't come!"

Lin Yu took two steps back suddenly, his eyes rolled again and again.

"Okay, I won't come." He Zedun was still there.

"I, I..." Lin Yu glanced at him, unconsciously tucked his clothes, and the corners of his lips turned red. After a while, he seemed to make up his mind and said, "He Ze, I..."

"It's okay if you don't want to marry. I'll ask again next month." Just the moment Lin Yu opened his mouth again, He Ze's heart tightened and suddenly interrupted him, "Of course, the premise is that you are not allowed to agree to someone else's proposal!"

“…”

"I'll give you time, don't rush to answer me." He Ze breathed a sigh of relief, looked up at the sky in Wuchen, "I'll send you back now, Aunt Lin should be anxious. These two days are too cold, remember not to go up the mountain again."

"Yes." Lin Yu looked at him, nodded and responded. Suddenly, he seemed to have suddenly reacted, and his eyes fixed on He Ze's mud legs, "No, you go back and change your clothes by yourself, I don't need you to give it to me."

"It's not very cold, don't worry," He Ze held Lin Yu's hand, "Besides, my backpack is still in your yard."

"I'll give it to you..."

Lin Yu subconsciously looked up, but when he looked up at He Ze, his voice became lower and lower, and he never persisted.

As for the hand that He Ze held, he probably didn't react.

Well, it's possible.

When the two returned to the Lin family yard, Zhang was standing at the door and looking back and forth. When he saw Lin Yu from afar, he immediately ran to him, "But when he is back, Em is worried about death!"

"Em, I'm just going out for a walk, you..."

"I know, but as soon as the child leaves his sight, who can do Emu not worry?" Zhang held Lin Yu's shoulder and looked him up and down for several times before moving his sight to He Ze, "He boy, are you... okay?"

"It's okay," Seeing that Zhang also looked at his mud legs, He Ze quickly shook his head, "I accidentally stepped on the puddle just now, and that's how it turned out."

"That's the matter... Then you go into the house quickly, enter the house Nuannuan!"

"No, Xiao An is still waiting for me at home. I'll go back first." He Ze declined Zhang's kindness, walked to the yard a few steps and carried his back basket and arrows on his body again. He looked at Lin Yu again and said, "Aunt Lin, I'm leaving now, what I said before..."

"He Ze——"

Before he finished speaking, Lin Yu suddenly glared at him fiercely. He Ze did not squint his eyes, but only had a slight curve bent at the corner of his mouth, "Aunt Lin, I count all the things I said before. I will make up for it when the time comes."

Zhang was a little suspicious, and his eyes turned around He Ze and Lin Yu, without saying anything more. As He Ze's back gradually drifted away, Zhang took Lin Yu's hand and went to the kitchen, pulled out the fire a little, "Come here quickly, don't be frozen."

"Em, I'm not cold." Lin Yu pursed his lips and placed his hand in Zhang's palm, "You touch it, it's hot."

"If your hands are not cold, you are not cold? What should you do if your body is cold?" Zhang looked at Lin Yu angrily, but after saying that, he paused and touched his hands twice, "It's really not cold, who can warm it up?"

"……slim Shady!"

"Do you think Emu know nothing?" Zhang stood up and brought two more stools over. "I was very clear at that time. I just held my hands and came back together. Emu's eyes are good, but don't pretend I didn't see it. You guys are too, and you don't know how to avoid it..."

"Em--" Lin Yu frowned.

"Okay, Em won't say it anymore. It's cold now, and there are no people outside. According to what the He family boy said today, he is considered a responsible person. As long as your affairs are settled, these things are not a big deal." Zhang added two pieces of firewood, and the smile on his face was particularly gentle. "Em didn't see the wrong person, and now he is relieved. By the way, did you talk about the charter just now? What did he say?"

“…”

"Am guessed wrong?" Zhang straightened his waist without hearing the reply.

"No," Lin Yu shook his head, but his voice was very depressed, "He Ze, He Ze suddenly said he wanted to marry me, I..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly rushed into Zhang's arms, rubbing his chin against Zhang's shoulders.

"What's wrong, what's wrong?" Zhang was anxious and quickly patted Lin Yu's back, "Isn't this a good thing? Em knows that you like the He family boy, and he finally got enlightened now. Why are you unhappy again?"

"Em, you..."

Before Zhang could finish his words, Lin Yu stepped back from his arms and his eyes widened.

"What? Emu is not stupid, nor is she not young. If you don't admit it, Emu won't see it?" Zhang poked Lin Yu's forehead and gave him a blank look. "If it weren't for knowing that there was someone in your heart, would you really not be able to find a suitable marriage for you during this period?"

"Em, then you..."

"Em is waiting for you to tell the truth to Em. You are stubborn. What do you think in your heart?"

"I...I don't want to marry He Ze."

After a moment of silence, Lin Yu glanced at Zhang, his voice extremely firm.

"What did you say?"

"I don't want to marry He Ze."

"Brother Yu, you..." Zhang frowned, "Why is this?"

"Em, you don't know. I... I can't get engaged to He Ze, let alone get married with him. I'm afraid something happens to him... he can't get something happen to him!"

"...It's because of this? Brother Yu! How many times have Emu advised you, why do you have to take all those things on yourself? If the He family boy cares about these things, he will not interact with you at the beginning. Why can't your mind turn around now?"

"I believe he doesn't care, but I care! If something happens to him, I will hate myself to death, as well as Uncle He Aunt He and Xiao An... If it's because of me... Emu, I don't want him to marry me, don't want him to marry me!"

Lin Yu's eyes turned red as he spoke, and his voice choked.

"Brother Yu, why are you so confused? Why can't you think about yourself!"

Seeing Lin Yu like this, Zhang was both angry and distressed, and didn't know what to do for a moment.

"Em, just agree to me, He Ze, if He Ze proposes marriage to you, you Qianwai cannot agree to him! I beg you."

Lin Yu rubbed his eyes and stared at Zhang.

"You are so confused! You don't want to marry him, and you are so close to him... You, you are trying to make Emu die and tell you about being kissed, right?"

"You, alas!"

Zhang was angry and anxious, but when he looked at Lin Yu, he couldn't say anything harsh, so he had to lower his head.

The two of them were silent, and the air seemed to have frozen. After a long time, Zhang finally turned around and said with a slouching voice, "Since you are determined, just let it be, just let it be! Em responds to you, you!"

"slim Shady--"

Zhang ran straight out of the door, and his back seemed to be hunched down. Lin Yu's eyes blinked without blinking until Zhang disappeared at the door of the main room, and then he squatted down and wrapped his hands around his knees.

There was a fire beside him, but at this moment he felt very cold.

I don’t know how long it took, water dripping on the fire, and the flames gradually became smaller.

...

When he came back from Lin Yu's house, He Ze did not delay any of the road. Before he could reach Shenshi when he stepped into the house, He An brought all the hot meals to the table as soon as he saw him.

In the past two days, He Youcai and Li went to a village far away to make wooden utensils for their family, and there were only two of them in the family.

"Eat quickly, after eating, brother will take you to the town," He Ze quickly put down the dishes and said to He An, who was drinking soup.
