From now on, we'll be inseparable

Tang Manman's cousins and their family surrounded them with caution and curiosity.

Looking at this well - behaved and gentle girl from a distant relative's family, and then at this guy who, even when encountered on a late - night walk, would lower his head and quicken his pace to get away...

Both the husband and wife's expressions were a bit off.

They felt as if a wild boar had broken into the yard and was heading straight for their cabbage patch.

It's just that they couldn't pick up hoes and pickaxes and rush forward shouting to defend their cabbage patch.

It wasn't that they lacked the courage.

Rather, it seemed to be a two - way attraction between the cabbage patch and the big wild boar.

In fact, the cabbage patch was moving even faster than the big wild boar.

Looking at the girl from the relative's family tightly hugging the blond - haired guy in front of them.

The couple was at their wits' end.

They had a strong sense of powerlessness, like having all the strength but not knowing where to use it.

Their daughter, who was only in the second grade of junior high school, didn't have any prejudice against the combination of the blond - haired guy and the school belle in front of her.

She was just shocked.

After all, she had only heard of such a combination in other people's gossips, and it was always in a tone that couldn't be called a blessing.

Now that it was happening right in front of her eyes.

She felt that the situation was a bit bad.

But it didn't seem as bad as she had imagined.

In fact, she unexpectedly thought there was a bit of a cute contrast between the two.

The family of three surrounded them with scrutinizing gazes.

Lin Yu felt a little uncomfortable under their stares.

He patted Tang Manman on the shoulder, signaling her to let go first, saying that her cousins were watching.

Tang Manman sniffed and sobbed.

She let go of the arms that were hugging Lin Yu, but the moment she let go, she tightly grabbed Lin Yu's hand that was hanging by his side, interlaced their fingers, and stood beside him.

"Hello, uncle and aunt."

Lin Yu grinned and politely greeted the couple whose expressions were not very good.

The couple sized Lin Yu up and down.

Instead of responding to Lin Yu's greeting, they glanced at Tang Manman beside them and asked tentatively:

"Manman, who is this?"

Tang Manman wiped the tears off her face.

Facing the encouraging expressions of these two distant cousins, as if to say that as long as she spoke, they would definitely rescue her from this blond - haired guy.

Tang Manman looked at them, her tear - filled eyes extremely determined.

"He is my boyfriend."

Tang Manman's voice was soft, but it was as if she was stating an established fact that was beyond doubt.

As she said this, she tightened her grip on Lin Yu's hand even more.

It was like making a vow at a wedding.

Hearing Tang Manman's words.

The corners of Lin Yu's mouth seemed to be hooked by a fishhook.

They kept twitching upwards.

It was as if someone was pulling hard on a fishing rod in the sky.

He couldn't even hold them down.

Looking at the sweet - looking couple in front of them.

It was like a thunderbolt had struck the couple's hearts.

They exchanged a solemn look.

They felt that the plan they had made before seemed to need to be changed...

...

In the park.

Lin Yu and Tang Manman were snuggled up on a bench under the shade of a tree.

The cool evening breeze blew through the treetops, making a comforting white noise.

City N is located in the south.

It gets dark late.

At this moment, dusk was approaching night.

The street lamps were already on early.

They provided enough light for the people in this city to start their nightlife.

And even at this time.

Tang Manman was still quietly accompanying Lin Yu.

She hadn't been called home by her cousins.

The reason was that the couple had given up on Tang Manman as a free tutor.

The main reason they asked Tang Manman to come was to let her teach their Little Monster to study. On the other hand, having an older child at home with their child would make them feel more at ease when they went out to work.

As for now.

Not to mention asking Tang Manman to accompany their Little Monster and teach her to study.

They even thought it was risky for Tang Manman to stay with their child for an extra hour.

What if their child brought home such a reckless blond - haired guy one day.

The couple would really have a heart attack!

So the original plan of having Tang Manman stay at their home as a tutor was cancelled.

The couple booked a mediocre hotel for Tang Manman outside.

They paid a month's rent in advance.

It was almost enough to last until Tang Manman registered for the new semester.

They had really done their best for her.

Being gently driven out of the house by her cousins in a roundabout way.

Tang Manman, who had always been like a doormat, didn't feel the slightest bit of grievance this time.

She snuggled in Lin Yu's arms, with a faint but extremely sweet smile on her lips.

She looked at the usual night sky in front of her.

She just felt that this was really a beautiful summer.

It was so beautiful that even the little bugs gathered on the lamp shades of the street lamps seemed to be little elves.

"Are you really not going to leave this time?"

Tang Manman raised her face, her eyes reflecting the light, looking at Lin Yu with a moist glint.

She had received so many surprises from Lin Yu today.

There were so many that she had a feeling of unreality, as if she was floating in the air.

She had to ask Lin Yu several more times to make sure that all this happening in front of her wasn't a daydream caused by her missing him too much.

"Yeah."

"I'm not going to leave."

Lin Yu's hand rested on Tang Manman's smooth shoulder.

The softness of the girl and the warm fragrance on her body made Lin Yu feel a sense of peace from the bottom of his heart.

He put his arm around Tang Manman and said in a gentle voice,

"We'll leave together if we ever have to in the future."

"During the holidays or after graduation."

"Wherever you want to go for fun or work, we'll go there together!"

"We can go to..."

"..."

In the darkness,

Lin Yu was looking forward to the future and making a general plan.

But no matter how he put it,

It all boiled down to one thing.

That is, the two of them would never be separated again...

Tang Manman nestled in Lin Yu's arms.

She pressed her flushed cheek against Lin Yu's chest.

She quietly listened to the strong heartbeat inside without interrupting.

After Lin Yu finished his brief plan for the future,

She burrowed deeper into Lin Yu's arms as if she was sleepy and whispered in a voice as soft as a mosquito,

"Lin Yu."

"I'm sleepy."

"Let's find a place to rest, okay?"

"Sure."

Lin Yu didn't suspect anything and readily agreed.

After all, taking a plane was really tiring.

And it was already eight o'clock at night. It was time to find a place to stay.

"I'll book a hotel,"

Lin Yu said as he took out his phone and was about to find a comfortable hotel nearby to check in.

But before Lin Yu could even open the Choutuan app,

A fair hand covered his phone screen.

The streetlights in the park always gave people a listless feeling.

The weak light could barely illuminate the figures five meters away, but it couldn't clearly show people's faces.

Lin Yu and Tang Manman were sitting under the shade of a tree, in a dim area where the light was hard to reach, looking into each other's eyes.

In the dim space,

Tang Manman's eyes were like covered with a layer of moist mist, or like two pieces of coal burning red-hot.

"There's no need to book another room,"

Tang Manman said softly. The warm and humid breath from her lips blew on Lin Yu's skin, making him feel parched.

"Ah?"

"Didn't they only book one room for you?"

Lin Yu's mind didn't turn around for a moment.

Tang Manman had already gently nodded under his gaze. There was shyness in her bright eyes, but she stared straight at him without dodging.

"Yes."

"We'll just stay in one room."
