Siheyuan: tomb robbing? I am serious about hunting.

Chapter 228 Crazy for you!

"You... don't you think I'm embarrassing?" Sha Zhu asked cautiously.

Ran Qiuhong shook her head and said seriously: "Shazhu, in my eyes, you are a man who stands tall and proud. You are willing to offend others in order to protect your friends. I am very moved."

Sha Zhu was stunned. He didn't expect that Ran Qiuhong would know about this.

"You...how did you know?" Sha Zhu asked in surprise.

"I heard about it." Ran Qiuhong said calmly, "Shazhu, don't worry, I won't tell anyone."

A warm current surged in Sha Zhu's heart. He looked at Ran Qiuhong in front of him, his heart filled with gratitude.

"Thank you, Qiuhong." Sha Zhu said sincerely.

Ran Qiuhong smiled and said, "Shazhu, you don't have to be so polite to me. We are friends, aren't we?"

"Friend?" Sha Zhu muttered to himself, feeling mixed emotions.

"Shazhu, do you have something else in your mind?" Ran Qiuhong asked, looking into his eyes.

Sha Zhu hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.

"Actually, I came to see you today because I wanted to..."

"Actually, I came to you today to ask you if you are willing to go to the city with me?" Sha Zhu's voice was very soft, but like a stone, it stirred up thousands of waves in Ran Qiuhong's calm heart.

"Go to the city?" Ran Qiuhong repeated, with a complicated look in her eyes. She was aware of Sha Zhu's idea, but leaving here and going to a completely unfamiliar place required great courage for her.

"I know this is very sudden for you." Sha Zhu rubbed his hands, feeling a little uneasy. "Don't worry, I'm not asking you to suffer with me. I heard that there are many factories in the city recruiting workers now. You are so beautiful, you will definitely find an easy and decent job."

Sha Zhu became more and more excited as he spoke, as if he had seen Ran Qiuhong's glamorous life in the city. "When the time comes, we'll make money together and rent a house together. When we have enough money, we'll..." Sha Zhu suddenly stopped, with a suspicious blush on his cheeks.

"Just what?" Ran Qiuhong asked, but she had already guessed what he was not going to say.

"Just..." Sha Zhu scratched his head, stammering and unable to speak.

Ran Qiuhong looked at the clumsy man in front of her with mixed feelings. She understood all the good things about Sha Zhu, but she also had her own concerns.

"Silly Zhu, I appreciate your kindness." Ran Qiuhong sighed softly, with a hint of helplessness in her tone, "But my parents passed away early, and I still have to take care of my younger brothers and sisters. I can't just leave."

The smile on Sha Zhu's face froze. How could he forget that Ran Qiuhong had two younger brothers and sisters who were a burden to him.

"Then...what about your younger brothers and sisters? They can't always suffer with you, right?" Sha Zhu asked unwillingly.

"I have asked someone to find a job for them. Although it is hard work, it is better than starving in the countryside," said Ran Qiuhong.

Sha Zhu was silent, he didn't know what to say. He could see that Ran Qiuhong didn't want to go with him, but reality didn't allow it.

"Qiuhong, I know I'm not worthy of you, but my heart for you is true." Sha Zhu suddenly grabbed Ran Qiuhong's hand and said firmly, "As long as you are willing, I can wait until your brothers and sisters grow up, until the day you are willing to go with me."

Ran Qiuhong's hand trembled slightly, and she wanted to pull it back, but he held it tightly. His hand was rough and warm, as if it had some kind of magic that made her unable to resist.

"Shazhu, you..." Ran Qiuhong looked at the man in front of her, her eyes misty. Shazhu's kindness touched her, but also made her more embarrassed.

"Qiuhong, you don't have to rush to answer me. I just want you to know my feelings." Sha Zhu let go of her hand, took a deep breath, and said, "It's getting late. I should go back."

Sha Zhu turned and left, his back looking lonely and desolate. Ran Qiuhong stood there, watching him go away, feeling mixed emotions.

As night fell, Ran Qiuhong walked alone on the ridge of the field, replaying the conversation with Sha Zhu in her mind. Sha Zhu's sincerity touched her, but also made her more confused. She didn't know whether she should abandon her brothers and sisters and follow him to a completely unfamiliar place for her own happiness.

At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps came from behind, accompanied by a familiar voice: "Qiuhong, wait for me!"

Ran Qiuhong stopped and looked back, only to see Sha Zhu running towards her breathlessly with an anxious look on his face.

"Why are you back again?" Ran Qiuhong asked with a hint of doubt in her tone.

"I..." Sha Zhu ran to her, bent down, gasped heavily, and was unable to speak for a long time.

"What's wrong with you? What happened?" Seeing this, Ran Qiuhong asked hurriedly, with a hint of worry in her tone.

Sha Zhu stood up and looked at Ran Qiuhong, with a complex light flashing in his eyes. He took a deep breath, as if he had made a great decision, and said: "Qiuhong, I've decided, I want to take you away!"

Ran Qiuhong was stunned. She didn't understand why Sha Zhu suddenly changed his mind.

"You...what did you say?" Ran Qiuhong asked in disbelief.

"I said, I'm going to take you away!" Sha Zhu repeated, his tone firm and overbearing, "I know you have your concerns, but I promise you that I will take care of you for the rest of your life, and I will treat your brothers and sisters as my own relatives."

Ran Qiuhong's heart began to beat violently, as if it was about to jump out of her chest. She looked at Sha Zhu in front of her, her eyes filled with surprise, emotion, and... a hint of expectation.

"Shazhu, have you... have you really thought it through?" Ran Qiuhong's voice trembled a little. She couldn't believe that all this was true.

"I've made up my mind!" Sha Zhu grabbed her hand and said firmly, "I've decided. I'm going to take you away! Even if the sky falls, I'll take you away!"

Ran Qiuhong's heart was completely in turmoil. She looked at the man in front of her with a layer of mist in her eyes. She knew that she could no longer refuse him.

"Shazhu, you...you are crazy!" Ran Qiuhong's voice choked and tears welled up in her eyes.

"Yes, I am crazy, crazy for you!" Sha Zhu hugged her tightly in his arms, with a hint of madness in his tone, "Qiuhong, I love you, I can't live without you!"

Ran Qiuhong snuggled in his arms, listening to his strong heartbeat, tears falling like pearls from a broken string.

Sha Zhu bent down and kissed away the tears on her face, then held her face and kissed her affectionately.

The night deepened, and in the fields, the sound of insects chirped one after another, as if blessing them...
