doomsday shelter

Chapter 4：I'm sure this is love

Auntie Liu emerged from the kitchen and said, "Jiajia, this is your cousin Xiaoyao from Uncle Song's family! You two used to fight a lot when you were kids!"

Liang Jiajia widened her eyes, as if suddenly realizing, and smiled, "Oh! So it's you! You look completely different from when we were kids!"

Auntie Liu said, "You're still the same, just grown and changed!"

Liang Jiajia protested coquettishly, "Mom! Don't say 'grown and changed,' that's a derogatory term!"

Auntie Liu, puzzled, asked, "How is that derogatory?" Song Yunian understood of course, it was something only young people grasped, and he couldn't help but smirk on the sofa.

Seeing Song Yunian laughing, Liang Jiajia pointed at him and said, "You're not allowed to laugh either!" Seeing his future fiancée getting angry, Song Yunian immediately suppressed his smile.

Auntie Liu said, "Don't throw tantrums! You two chat nicely, I'll go cook, it'll be ready soon!"

Instead of sitting down to chat with Song Yunian, Liang Jiajia went into her bedroom and didn't come out for a long time. Song Yunian had to watch TV by himself. The noon news reported: negotiations between the Russian military and the US-led NATO had collapsed, escalating tensions in Eastern Europe, with both sides on edge in a tense standoff.

Auntie Liu called from the kitchen, "Jiajia, lunch is ready!"

"Coming!" Liang Jiajia, now wearing a blue floral dress, looked even more charming, her face flushed, as she walked out of the room and into the kitchen. Auntie Liu chuckled, "Look at you, so vain! Changing clothes again!" Liang Jiajia protested sweetly, "Mom! Stop it!"

After lunch, Auntie Liu asked Liang Jiajia and Song Yunian to go out for a stroll, saying she wanted to watch TV dramas at home. The two young people had no choice but to leave. Awkwardly, they walked side by side on the street, the weather was hot outside, and there wasn't much fun in the small county. Song Yunian had to take her to see a movie, it was a European-American zombie film that frightened Liang Jiajia so much she hugged Song Yunian several times.

Exiting the movie theater, they went to a beverage shop. They ordered cold drinks and sat facing each other. Liang Jiajia had long heard her parents talk about the arranged marriage and had always been repulsed by it. But today, she was instantly captivated by Song Yunian, who was muscular, handsome, and polite.

Liang Jiajia pouted, "You're so mean! You actually took me to watch a horror movie, scared me into hugging you, taking advantage of me!"

Song Yunian laughed, "The other movies weren't good!"

Blushing, Liang Jiajia asked, "What's the purpose of your visit today?" She was obviously asking knowingly, hoping Song Yunian would reveal it first.

"My father passed away last month. He and your father were comrades-in-arms, and they arranged for us to be engaged. That's why I've come to find you! I don't know what you think about it! It feels strange to arrange things like this in this day and age!"

"What do you think?" Liang Jiajia hoped Song Yunian would say he liked her.

"Don't ask me, I have a headache! I haven't thought it through yet! My mind is in a mess!"

Liang Jiajia got angry as soon as she heard this, her face changed, and she stood up and left. Song Yunian followed behind and asked, "Jiajia, where are you going? What's wrong?"

Song Yunian caught up and stopped her in front, asking, "Why are you angry? Did I say something wrong?" Liang Jiajia was in tears, crying sadly.

Song Yunian didn't understand girls' thoughts at all, innocently asking, "What's wrong exactly? Tell me? Don't cry!"

Liang Jiajia suddenly threw herself into Song Yunian's arms, hugged his strong waist, pressed her face against his well-built chest, and cried, "As soon as I saw you, I really liked you. I thought you were my fiancé, but you don't like me! Am I that hateful? Sob~"

For the first time, Song Yunian was hugged by a girl, such intimate contact made him blush and his heart race, and the stares of passersby made him particularly uncomfortable. He used his large hands to hold Liang Jiajia's shoulders, lifted her from his embrace, looked her in the eyes, and said, "You've misunderstood me. In fact, I'm afraid you won't like me. You're so beautiful, how could I not feel content? My dear!" Liang Jiajia smiled through her tears, coquettishly saying, "Nonsense! Who's your dear?"
