[Ordinary Girl] My boyfriend's brothers are all very curious about me.

The final exams were held over two days. After the last exam, it was already getting dark. Lin Su tightened the scarf around her neck, lowered her head, and left the teaching building.

As soon as she stepped outside, she felt a chill on her face. When she looked up, she realized it was snowing. As she looked up, a transparent umbrella appeared above her head.

Lin Su smiled and turned her head to look, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes. She subconsciously turned her head to look around. Zong Yan, who had been waiting for her to finish her exam yesterday, was not here today.

Shao Huaizhi held the umbrella over her head with one hand and explained, "Zongyan's mother is ill, so he can't come to pick you up."

Lin Su exclaimed, "Ah! Is it serious?"

"It's not clear yet. He booked a restaurant in advance. Let me take you there to eat, and then I'll take you home," Shao Huaizhi said.

Zongyan booked a famous Western restaurant with a beautiful night view. They also set off fireworks at fixed times in the evening, and most of the people who come to eat are couples.

Lin Su sat in her seat, not in the mood to look at the night view. She was just texting Zong Yan with her head down, but he didn't have time to reply to her.

Shao Huaizhi handed the menu to the waiter and looked up at the person opposite him. She had taken off her coat when she entered the restaurant, and was now only wearing a plain turtleneck sweater.

Her neck was slender and white, and this outfit made her look exceptionally elegant and delicate, especially with her slightly furrowed brows.

Shao Huaizhi's initial impression of her was that she was a woman who easily evoked pity.

It seems the Zong family can no longer tolerate Zong Yan's continued fooling around with her. After being simmering in lukewarm water for so long, Shao Huaizhi felt his chance had come.

"Don't worry, as far as I know, Zongyan's mother has always been in good health. It's probably just a minor cold." Shao Huaizhi pushed a cup of hot water towards her. "Have a sip to moisten your lips."

Lin Su subconsciously pursed her lips, feeling the dryness and cracking on them. She picked up her water glass, took a sip, and then another.

"If it's just a minor cold, why doesn't he have time to check his phone?" Lin Su asked softly.

"He was probably busy. He left in a hurry, leaving you with me." Shao Huaizhi was also a little surprised to receive Zong Yan's call.

Zong Yan was in a hurry to get to the hospital, but he was also worried that Lin Su would be heartbroken if she didn't see him after the exam, so he could only call him over to pick her up and have dinner with her.

Shao Huaizhi thought that he probably still had the task of comforting her.

"Zong Yan will probably be sent to a branch office in another city for a year of training next year. Are you worried?" Shao Huaizhi's gentle voice added fuel to the fire.

Lin Sushui couldn't drink anymore either; her hands were clenched tightly together.

The door to the private room was pushed open, and the waiter came in and served all the dishes. Shao Huaizhi used serving chopsticks to put food on her plate. "Let's eat first."

Lin Su didn't have much of an appetite, and Shao Huaizhi didn't eat much either. At the top of the hour, the beautiful fireworks show was about to begin.

Shao Huaizhi stood up, walked to Lin Su's side, and gently patted her on the head. "Let's go to the window and watch the fireworks."

Lin Su paused for a moment and looked up. One of her hands was already in the man's hand. He pulled her to the window and pushed open a small window.

The snow was still falling outside, and a cold wind carrying snowflakes rushed towards her. The colder it was in front of Lin Su, the warmer it was behind her.

She looked down at the large, well-defined hand that was holding her hand and resting on the windowsill. Just as she was about to pull her hand away, another cool hand lifted her chin.

"Look up, the fireworks are coming." A gentle voice rang in her ear.

"Boom! Boom boom boom!" As he finished speaking, fireworks burst forth in the snow.

It's beautiful and romantic.

Lin Su stared blankly up at the screen, when suddenly her ear tickled. The man behind her leaned down and whispered in her ear, "Did you like the surprise your boyfriend prepared for you?"

This was originally a surprise that Zong Yan had prepared for her, but Shao Huaizhi accompanied her to see it.

Lin Su pulled her hand back, pressed her chest against the windowsill, and whispered, "The fireworks are over, let's go home."

Shao Huaizhi looked down at her face, which was red from the wind and snow. He reached out and closed the window. With a creak, Lin Su turned around.

She leaned against the windowsill, looking up at the man in front of her with some unease. He had a handsome face and a serious expression.

"I'm currently a second-year graduate student, and I'll be a third-year student next year. After graduation, I'll stay at the university and stay with you," Shao Huaizhi said, looking down. "How about you consider getting a new boyfriend?"

Lin Su's eyelashes fluttered, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes. She shook her head and said, "Thank you, but I won't..."

Shao Huaizhi held up a finger to her lips, preventing her from uttering a word of refusal. "Don't rush to refuse. This phrase always holds true."

Lin Su shook her head again, "I won't..."

Shao Huaizhi firmly covered her mouth with one hand, and said with a helpless smile, "Don't tell me, it will make me sad."

Lin Su was speechless. She looked up at him blankly, her expression wooden, as if she had reverted to her previous state. Shao Huaizhi smiled slightly, "You weren't scared by me, were you?"

Lin Su blinked twice. Shao Huaizhi released his hand and gently tidied her wind-blown hair, brushing aside the hair that was covering her forehead, resisting the urge to kiss her.

He can't be like them, like a hooligan.

"Let's go, I'll take you home." Shao Huaizhi handed her the coat hanging on the coat rack by the door, and helped her tie her scarf after she got dressed.

A light blue scarf was wrapped around her neck twice, partially obscuring her face. Shao Huaizhi pulled the scarf down, revealing her red lips.

Shao Huaizhi frowned slightly and then helped her pull the scarf up again.

Lin Su took a step back and walked out first. After going downstairs and leaving the restaurant, the snow outside was even heavier.

The doorman had already brought the car over, along with a driver. Shao Huaizhi opened the door for Lin Su to get in, and then he got in himself.

The car sped towards Shuijun Bay. Lin Su looked down at her phone; Zong Yan hadn't replied to her message yet.

Lin Su closed her phone, and the light shining on her face went out instantly. Shao Huaizhi couldn't see her face clearly, but he knew the unease in her heart.

When the car arrived at Shuijun Bay, Lin Su got out, and Shao Huaizhi followed suit.

Lin Su turned around and said softly, "Thank you, that's enough."

"I'll go up with you." Shao Huaizhi held up an umbrella. "The ground is covered in snow, it's very slippery."

"No need..." Before Lin Su could finish refusing, Shao Huaizhi had already put his arm around her shoulder and led her inside. But after a few steps, he let go of her arm.

There was already a lot of snow on the ground, and it crunched underfoot. Lin Su was walking with her head down when she heard Shao Huaizhi say, "Zongyan's mother is not sick."

Lin Su paused, and Shao Huaizhi stopped as well.

There was no one on the snowy road at night. Shao Huaizhi's voice echoed through the air, carried by the wind and snow, and drifted into Lin Su's ears.

He's planning to propose to you tonight.
