Zhao Lanzhi did not answer. The smile in her eyes was definitely not because she disliked him.
Gou Houxing felt as if an active volcano had erupted in his heart. He happily introduced his family a.s.sets, how much Chu Tianbao had given him, how much his monthly salary was, and what he usually did in the army.
It did not take Zhao Lanzhi long to understand his situation.
Gou Houxing even said excitedly, “1 have a lot of vacation time. Wherever you want to go, 1 can accompany you!”
Zhao Lanzhi met his serious eyes and couldn’t help but blush. He had even planned their life after marriage.
Suddenly, the bell tower opposite rang. Gou Houxing recalled the activities by the sea and suddenly blushed. He stammered, “Are you willing to take a walk by the sea with me?”
His heart was pounding. He was afraid that even after so much effort, he still could not catch Zhao Lanzhi’s eye.
However, he had already taken a fancy to Zhao Lanzhi. If Zhao Lanzhi did not like him, he would work harder.
While letting her imagination run wild, Zhao Lanzhi lowered her eyes to hide the nervousness in her expression and agreed softly.
The girl’s soft voice pierced Gou Houxing’s softest spot.
He was extremely excited. The images of his and Zhao Lanzhi’s children already popped up in his mind.
Zhao Lanzhi and Gou Houxing, who were smiling foolishly, left the cake shop. The shop a.s.sistant chased after them. “Miss, your flowers.”
Zhao Lanzhi wanted to say that she would come back to get it later, but Gou Houxing had already run to the shop a.s.sistant. “Give it to me!”
He followed beside her with a bouquet of flowers. Everyone thought they were husband and wife. “This couple is so loving,” someone said.
Gou Houxing was overjoyed. He felt that pulling out the greenery would definitely be the wisest decision in his life.
An uncomfortable look flashed across Zhao Lanzhi’s face. Fortunately, she was someone who had seen big scenes and quickly regained her composure.
When they arrived at the seaside, Zhao Lanzhi saw many tribesmen setting up stalls in the wilderness.
As soon as Zhao Lanzhi appeared, they waved at her excitedly and shouted in broken Central Plains language, “Choose me! Choose me!”
Zhao Lanzhi was a little puzzled, then she heard Gou Houxing shout at them, “Choose my a.s.s!” How dare other men have designs on his partner?
It was obvious that Gou Houxing was not to be trifled with. These men gave up and shouted at the other women with all their might.
When the women stopped in front of their stall, they would stuff all the sh.e.l.ls, pearls, and beautiful jade into the woman’s hand.
Zhao Lanzhi saw with her own eyes that afer a tribal girl had accepted a man’s things, they left intimately. She suddenly remembered the local custom. Once a woman accepted a man’s things, she could become a partner who could spend the night together.
The Central Plains people who followed the traditional wedding rules naturally could not adapt to this yet.
Therefore, it was basically all locals and outsiders partic.i.p.ating.
Gou Houxing naturally did not bring Zhao Lanzhi here because he wanted her to be eyed by other men, but to partic.i.p.ate in an activity.
Pearls symbolize romantic love in Baye.
In order to give his partner pearls, someone would die every year from fishing for pearl clams.
It was different now. Ah Duo and the others had pearls specially cultivated.
For the sake of the tribe, she had specially organized this event.
There were 99 pearl clams in the one-meter-deep sea. As long as a couple signed up together, the man could go into the sea to fish for pearl clams.
The pearls that were opened were given to their partners on the spot. The organizers could even design jewelry for them.
Of course, if they couldn’t fish it out, they could also buy pearls directly..
