Chapter 426: Chapter 426 Let’s Get Married First
Sheng Tang’s circle of friends was growing larger.
Having been given a second chance at life, she looked at the girls around her as if they were her own children.
Adults are forgiving and loving towards children, especially those who are considerate even at a young age.
As a result, she blended in with them, learning their new ways of life.
She was not aloof or unapproachable.
Thus, when Gu Shiting tried to look for her on the third floor of the cafeteria, he spotted her amidst the crowd.
Her hair had grown exceptionally long, thick, and black, tied into a low ponytail.
She wore a black down jacket that accentuated her fair, rosy complexion, like a peach blossom in early spring.
Gu Shiting was very happy.
He already knew that Sheng Tang had ranked in the top twenty of the year. Seeing her surrounded by friends brought him great comfort.
"Tangtang’s grades improved."
"Tangtang made friends."
These were things he did not have.
His grades were always miles ahead of second place, and he had no friends; aside from Sheng Tang, he was unwilling to socialize with anyone.
Gu Shiting’s world was very narrow, and having Sheng Tang in it was everything he needed to be content.
He watched Sheng Tang enter the cafeteria with a group of girls before slowly looking away.
He sent a message to Sheng Tang: "Come to 618 after eating."
"What for?"
"I want to see you."
Sheng Tang: "...."
She also missed Gu Shiting. They had spent the entire winter break together and had grown accustomed to each other’s company. Returning to their own lives suddenly felt uncomfortable for Sheng Tang as well.
She simply adapted to changes faster than Gu Shiting.
She agreed.
Upon arriving at 618, Gu Shiting hugged her immediately as he entered, inhaling her scent and refusing to let go for a long time.
In this moment, Sheng Tang felt like they were sneaking around having an affair.
Feeling a bit disgusted, she quickly dismissed the thought.
She gently pushed Gu Shiting and said, "A hug is enough, aren’t you done yet?"
Gu Shiting finally released her.
Only two days without seeing her, yet it felt like an eternity!
"In which country is it legal to get married at eighteen?" Gu Shiting pondered, "I think you can in Japan."
He even considered changing his nationality just to get married.
Being so fixated on it was unbearable for him.
His lounge had a water dispenser that had been cleaned spotless before the semester started, and it had a new water jug.
While Sheng Tang was getting some water, Gu Shiting asked her, "Tangtang, do you want to marry me?"
She almost choked on the water.
The last time Gu Shiting had asked her: Can I kiss you?
A winter break later, the leap was too big!
"Do you even know what marriage means?" Sheng Tang lightly pushed his shoulder. "Even if I wanted to, the state wouldn’t allow it."
"We can go to another country to get married," Gu Shiting suggested.
Sheng Tang smiled and asked him, "So we can live together every day, right?"
Gu Shiting nodded.
Given that he had urged Song Chen to buy a house next to hers, Sheng Tang wasn’t surprised by his question.
Ultimately, he still had a child’s mindset, treating her as a dependency, wanting to cling to her side.
"I’m not planning to get married right now," Sheng Tang smiled, "Let’s discuss it after I take the college entrance exams."
Gu Shiting sighed.
Sheng Tang continued, "And don’t just think about eating the grass at the edge of the nest. Your social anxiety has improved a lot, you can meet new girls."
Gu Shiting: "..."
He suddenly felt a bit angry.
If he really were to meet other girls, it would feel like a betrayal to Sheng Tang, and he wanted to slap such thoughts out of himself.
His loyalty to Sheng Tang was extreme, binding him tightly to her.
"Is my thinking a bit abnormal?" he asked himself.
Aware of this, he dared not tell Sheng Tang the truth, only saying, "I don’t like meeting new people."
