Totally didnāt expect Lin Lang to suddenly ask such a question!
She stood there, her mind blank!
And her first instinctive reaction was to wonder if Lin Lang was deceiving her.
After all, she had a painful lesson beforeā
She had kindly saved a group of people in distress!
As a result, that group repaid kindness with ingratitude and tricked them out of the hard-earned resources they had accumulated!
Making life even harder for the elders!
So now facing this situation, she naturally became cautious and didnāt dare to easily believe Lin Langās words.
But!
She thought againā
With Lin Langās unimaginably strong capabilities, what couldnāt he have? How could he possibly have an ulterior motive towards an ordinary girl like her?
What could she possibly have that he would covet?
Thinking this way, she felt a bit conflicted.
For a moment, she didnāt know how to respond to Lin Lang.
And Lin Lang didnāt rush her.
After a while!
Little Goldfish finally came to her senses, looking at Lin Lang, she just awkwardly said:
"Stop joking! This isnāt funny at all..."
There was still a hint of disbelief in her tone, she still felt Lin Lang might just be teasing her.
Lin Lang, however, had a serious face, looking at her sincerely, and said:
"Iām not joking. If you agree, I will treat you well and do my best to give you a happy life; of course, if you donāt agree, itās okay, I never force anyone, you can take your time to think about it."
His tone was very sincere, making one feel he truly meant it.
Little Goldfish, hearing Lin Langās words, felt a slight stir in her heart, sensing that Lin Lang was sincere and not a fraud!
Moreover, thinking carefully, she actually had a bit of a fondness for Lin Langā
After all!
Lin Langās age was similar to hers.
He was handsome and sunny, standing there like a striking landscape, making one unable to resist a few more glances.
Moreover, he had a gentle demeanor and was very polite to the elders, showing respect in every word and action.
Plus, he was especially righteous; when those young people came to rob, he stepped up without hesitation and protected everyone, which made Little Goldfish feel Lin Lang was reliable and trustworthy.
The key was, he was so powerful, in this dangerous post-apocalyptic world, being powerful meant he could better protect those around him.
What girl would dislike her man being too strong?
Looking at it this way, a man like Lin Lang, at any time, could be considered perfect!
However, Little Goldfish still felt everything was too sudden, it felt like a dream, not quite real.
Thus, she tentatively asked:
"Then, what do you like about me?"
She thought by listening to what Lin Lang said, she could judge whether he was sincere or not.
Lin Lang smiled, with no hint of impatience, and patiently said:
"Youāre beautiful and kind... The key is, liking someone is just liking someone, there arenāt that many reasons. Iām a straightforward person; I say what I think. Maybe this made you feel abrupt, Iām really sorry for that."
What he said was truly heartfelt, indeed seeing those shining points in Little Goldfish that attracted him.
Little Goldfish, after hearing Lin Langās response, felt her heart jump like a little rabbit, hesitated for a bit, and then softly said:
"Then, in that case, we can start off as lovers."
She felt becoming Lin Langās woman immediately was too fast, and she couldnāt accept it just yet!
But she didnāt want to outright reject Lin Lang, after all, she did have feelings for him, so she thought starting as lovers and seeing how it goes would be good.
Lin Lang listened, then smiled, looking at Little Goldfish, and asked:
"So, you havenāt prepared yourself to be my woman yet, right?"
Little Goldfish blushed slightly, nodded, and said:
"Itās too fast, I... I still need some time to adapt."
Lin Lang thought about it and understandingly said:
"Sure, itās okay, like I said, I wonāt force you to do anything you donāt want."
Even as he said that!
Lin Lang waved his big hand, and suddenly a lot of supplies appeared on the groundā
Packs of pure water, bags of beef jerky, crates of cookies, bread, baskets of eggs, chicken legs, bags of rice, various vegetables, fresh meat, and so on!
The supplies piled up like a small mountain, looking incredibly impressive!
Little Goldfish saw this, and her eyes widened in disbelief, her mouth hung open, and it took her a good while to come back to her sensesā
So many supplies, it felt like they could last her a lifetime!
This Lin Lang was truly amazing, to be able to bring out so many things at once!
She had a new understanding of Lin Langās power and increasingly felt that Lin Lang was truly generous and reliable!
...
Lin Lang, seeing Little Goldfishās surprised and somewhat overwhelmed look, with a smile, said:
"Consider these things as a gift to celebrate our relationship."
Little Goldfish was just an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl, who had scarcely left the fishing village and had a very simple mind. She had never seen such a scene before, nor could she resist such temptation.
Looking at the mountain-like pile of supplies, she couldnāt help but thinkā
In this apocalypse, the value of these things was immeasurable. With them, the villagers wouldnāt need to worry about hunger anymore, and no longer fret over supplies, and the elders could live peacefully.
