Chapter 5 Director Zhou, are you willing?

Although Mr. Shi's words were reasonable and well-founded, they were still a bit sudden.

Love and marriage have never been a place of reason...

This made Shi Ye's meal taste a bit bland.

She has always had a small appetite and today she didn't even finish half a bowl of porridge.

After taking a shower, I was drying my half-dried hair in the room, but I felt a little exhausted and powerless, and my hands stopped moving unconsciously.

Someone knocked on the door, and Shi Ye said that the door was not locked and it was okay to come in.

As soon as the mother opened the door, she saw the little girl sitting there quietly alone.

He is incredibly well-behaved, just like a 13-year-old boy who just came back from Jiangnan.

Returning to the place I hadn't seen for eight years, he spoke very little and was as gentle and well-behaved as a little rabbit.

After all these years of pampering and protection, the baby has finally become more lively.

Lin Qingqian also felt distressed. She loved her baby so much. The little princess was the youngest among all the children.

When I was 5 years old, I was traveling during a snowstorm in the north, and the train station was hit by a landslide when passing through the mountainous area.

She and her husband took her brother and sister out of the car to seek safety, but they were scattered by the panicked crowd in the chaos. Her eldest son was also injured by falling rocks while protecting his younger daughter.

When the couple heard the news that their daughter was missing at the temporary rescue point, they felt like the sky had fallen. Their little daughter's whereabouts have been unknown since then.

They clearly took a family photo before leaving...the little daughter was in their arms one second ago, how could she disappear the next second?

The second son was recuperating at home and did not come with them this time. When he saw them coming back, he ran away from his grandparents like a little bird. He missed his parents and sister so much.

He wanted to share his sister's favorite candy, but his parents said his sister was missing.

Shi Che couldn't remember his reaction at that time, and he didn't dare to think about it again.

Shi Che did not experience the 2008 snowstorm in person because he was recuperating at home.

But he will never forget that winter... His smiling mother often had red eyes as she sat in his sister's room. The TV was playing the Spring Festival Gala, which symbolized family reunion. Sometimes she would be talking just a second before she would suddenly burst into tears.

Then she subconsciously turned her head and wiped her tears quietly.

She didn't want her crying to make everyone sad again, or to comfort her not to be sad. She didn't want that.

The taciturn father became even more silent, and his mountain-like body seemed frail when he was comforting his mother.

The eldest brother's sister was by his side before he was injured, but when he woke up, she was gone. He couldn't accept it... He was bedridden for an entire winter. The physical injuries were superficial; he was heartbroken. He blamed himself for not taking good care of his sister.

My grandparents suddenly looked much older. They seemed to be living in a prosperous family, but now their most beloved granddaughter was lost, and even reunion was a luxury.

Although many of us didn't say it explicitly, we all knew that the possibility of survival was extremely low, almost slim.

Shi Che couldn't believe it. His little sister was so cute and well-behaved that she didn't dare to move even when a dragonfly landed on her shoulder for fear of scaring it, and she quietly moved the little snails to the grass because they couldn't crawl fast after the rain... How could God bear to do that?

She just got lost and couldn't find her way home. Somewhere in the corner, she will definitely come back.

So he became a star, hoping that his little sister would see him one day, remember him, and find her way home.

That long winter seemed to last longer than the weather bureau predicted.

For the Shi family, it lasted for 8 years...

Eight years later in Tibet, Shi's father brought the martyr's ashes home.

When he saw Xiao Shiye sitting there quietly, he recognized his little daughter at a glance. That was the little daughter that the whole family thought about day and night and had never forgotten!

The wind in Tibet is so strong that her frail body could be blown away by the wind at any moment.

The pale little face was bloodless, and there were red bloodshot under the eyes.

His already thin face, and eyes that had shed countless tears, looked even more tragic.

This time, Shi's father met his daughter when she was accompanying her adoptive parents to bring her adopted brother's ashes home... No one was not heartbroken.

The adoptive parents lost their young child, and their biological son lost his young life while trying to save a Tibetan girl on his way back from surveying work, and their hair turned white overnight.

Shi Ye's adoptive parents and brother treated her like their own sister and accompanied her from the age of 5 to 13. How could Shi Ye, who was so young, accept the sudden death of such a good person?

What kind couple are the adoptive parents?

He was clearly experiencing the pain of losing his son, but what was even more heartbreaking was that the father and daughter could not be together even though they recognized each other.

They won't tie Xiaoye's future to them just because they raised her for 8 years. They love the little girl too!

Eight years!

How can there be no emotion?

Because of love, they are reluctant to let their children be sad and heartbroken with them.

They were afraid that they would be trapped in this death and would never be able to get out. She was only 13 years old, the most delicate age for a flower... She still had a long way to go and could not be trapped in it.

They just hope that their lives will be smooth, happy and worry-free.

They did not accept any reward from the Shi family, and they adopted Shi Xiao for no reason.

Now that I see him going home, back into the arms of his biological parents, how can I not be happy?

They knew... that their son was still alive and would absolutely agree with it. They all hoped that their child would be happy as a child.

When she returned to Kyoto from Jiangnan, Shi Ye could not even utter a complete sentence; her voice was hoarse from crying.

She was heartbroken when her closest relative passed away.

The psychologist said that she was too sad, her heart was dead, and there was no greater sorrow than a dead heart... If she didn't want to open up and let go of the past... her aphasia was her heart knot.

Love is the greatest emotion in the world!

Loving someone is like growing flowers.

Thanks to the careful care of parents and brothers, the flowers finally bloom again!

After surviving the disaster, no one ever asked for more.

They just hope that their little daughter can be healthy and free to do whatever she likes, and they will always be there to protect and support her.

…

Lin Qingqian gently tucked a few strands of her daughter's hair behind her ears, fearing that they would prick her eyes.

I also felt my mother's care and my eyes were inexplicably red.

He turned around, hugged his mother and threw himself into her arms.

The little girl was still a little cold and limp. Mother Shi held the little princess in her arms, patting her back gently, silently soothing her, "Mom is here, Xiaoye, Mom is here."

Shi Ye finally burst into tears.

All the pain of the entire night turned into silent tears.

Lin Qingqian's eyes were also very sore. Her daughter was sobbing in her arms. It would be better for her to cry out, at least she wouldn't be holding it in... But the little girl didn't even cry loudly. She just shed tears quietly, which was so heartbreaking.

Mother and daughter are connected by heart, and her heart felt sore and painful.

She felt her heart trembling as she gently coaxed her daughter.

"Baby, please don't cry. Please don't cry, okay? Mommy feels bad."

"Grandpa said that if we don't like the engagement with the Zhou family, we can refuse it. Grandpa also loves our Xiaoye. We all love you. Grandpa is afraid that you will be bullied, but Grandpa respects Xiaoye's opinion."

"We are little and we should stop crying, okay? Mommy's heart is broken."

She cried intermittently and let her mother wipe her eyes with a tissue.

She tried to stop crying with her eyes red and rippled. She knew her mother would be sad if she cried, and she couldn't bear to see her mother sad with her.

The sound of her crying just now was muffled, and Shi Ye felt that she was too out of control this time and was about to faint from crying.

So embarrassing.

Once again, he buried his little head in his mother's arms.

He also reminded his mother, "Mom, I didn't cry again, I just looked a little ugly..."

Lin Qingqian looked at the little princess's curved lips and finally felt relieved, but she was a little amused.

This little guy...

After Shi Ye's emotions subsided, his thoughts became clearer.

"I'm just a little confused all of a sudden. I just graduated~ I... I really don't know. I know what Grandpa means."

But he got married right after graduation.

Shi Ye murmured softly in his mother's arms, "...It's like leaving campus in the morning and feeling like I'll be heading to the Civil Affairs Bureau the next second."

Lin Qingqian sighed softly.

"You're just daydreaming again. Although you're engaged, you haven't met each other yet. The Zhou family hasn't come to propose marriage yet."

"Even if there's a matchmaker and parents involved, the three books and six ceremonies, and the three matchmakers and six ceremonies are still mandatory steps...it's etiquette."

"How can our little princess marry an ordinary man? Your marriage must be a formal one with a grand ceremony and a beautiful wedding."

Shi was also stunned. Her mother said that the whole process was very smooth and she was so skilled... She was a little embarrassed, biting her lip and speaking vaguely.

"Mom, we just said you respected my opinion!"

Lin Qingqian smiled and shook her head, "Baby, why are you trying to be strict with your mother now?"

"Mom is just an analogy. You are the apple of our eyes. No matter who you marry, it must be a grand wedding."

Shi Ye said obediently, "Is that so~" and rubbed against her mother's arms like a little doll.

She mumbled to herself, "Marriage is a serious matter and should not be taken lightly, so let's be more serious."

Lin Qingqian couldn't do anything with her and scratched her little nose lovingly.

When he asked the little girl if she wanted to sleep with him, she shook her head.

She doesn't compete with her father for her mother, and she has recovered on her own.

Her mother reminded her again before leaving.

Don't be sad about this matter anymore, don't cry anymore.

If you keep crying, your eyes will be swollen like walnuts tomorrow.

Tomorrow when the Zhou family comes to visit, she just needs to tell them that she doesn't like the rest and Grandpa and they can solve it for her.

The little girl nodded in bed, saying she understood and would say good night and goodbye to her mother obediently.

Although the father was holding a newspaper at the bedside, he was worried about his little daughter and couldn't concentrate on reading it. When he heard his wife pushing the door open, he immediately stood up.

"How's Xiaoye?"

"After we went to bed, I told Xiaoye what Dad meant."

"I told her I respected her opinion whether she liked it or not...and she stopped crying. She didn't resist and said she just felt it was fast."

Lin Qingqian felt sad when she talked about this. Her little baby had only been with her for a few years, and she was reluctant to let him go.

Father Shi felt that his wife was about to cry, so he hurried to comfort her.

What is going on? His little daughter is also his treasure.

He was reluctant to do so, as he also felt it was too fast.

As a result, his biological father, the child's grandfather, brought up the marriage proposal right after graduation. He also loved the child and was afraid that his precious granddaughter would be wronged in a place where he could not protect her. It was really a good deal for the other guy.

Suddenly, he remembered that they had only mentioned the engagement but hadn't said when it would be fulfilled. Should they delay it for another two years or, if that didn't work out, get engaged first?

Father Shi suddenly felt that he had found a loophole and immediately told his wife.

Direct action faction.

Lin Qingqian kicked her husband lightly and asked him to come back.

Maybe he was really anxious and angry and didn't think about anything else.

"Dad is asleep."

"Letting Xiaoye marry him now is to protect her legitimately. As the eldest daughter-in-law of the Zhou family and with us supporting her from behind, anyone who is blind would have to think twice."

At that time, the father became obedient and went back to bed, feeling sad and reluctant.

The next second, children and grandchildren will have their own blessings.

Just hug your wife and sleep, and stay alert to take a good look at that kid from the Zhou family tomorrow.

…

Shi Ye wore a light blue cheongsam and flat shoes today, which matched well.

Beauty lies in the bones, not in the skin, but she is the best in both.

The faint distant mountain eyebrows are delicate and lively, not a bit more or less.

She has fair skin and wears light makeup that is appropriate and generous. She has bright red lips, bright eyes and white teeth. Every frown and smile of hers is stunning.

After three matchmakers and six proposals, the Zhou family came to propose marriage.

Yesterday he was still a senior.

When we meet again today, everything has changed dramatically.

She couldn't help but think of the way he half-knelt down to treat her wound, seriously and reverently as if he were treating it as a treasure.

But she accidentally bumped into his sight, causing her to dodge suddenly.

Changes in mood can really affect a lot.

This grand marriage proposal ceremony made Shi Ye's heart extremely turbulent... She didn't even notice Zhou Junheng's gaze on her.

The birth dates of the two people matched to determine an auspicious date for the wedding.

The family members' conversations and laughter all showed their importance and satisfaction with this marriage.

During all the discussions, she could not say anything negative or refuse anything. Everyone considered things from her perspective and put her first.

There is nothing wrong with the etiquette and friendship.

My father was not stingy at all when it came to calligraphy and paintings, jewelry, real estate, shops, and collections of cultural relics.

They have been preparing for their daughter for so many years... Every item is filled with love.

Parents who love their children will plan for them in the long run.

They love her.

Shi Ye's eyes felt a little sad. Her parents and grandfather were all busy working for her, paving the way for her future... They wanted their precious daughter and beloved granddaughter to have no worries about food and clothing, and to walk on the road of flowers forever.

But what about him?

What did he think about this engagement?

Is he willing?

The Shi family saw the Zhou family off, with Grandpa Zhou and Zhou Junheng's parents riding in the front car.

Even though his parents were still behind him, Shi Ye still stopped Zhou Junheng's car.

The drivers were all active-duty guards, and their Beijing-licensed, red-flag, state-of-the-art cars came to a steady stop.

Zhou Junheng half-lowered the car window, and Shi Ye asked the question she had just been thinking about.

"Director Zhou, are you willing to accept this marriage? If not—"

"I do."

The man's voice was still as clear and cold as spring water, without any hesitation.

Even after many years, Shi still can't forget that afternoon.

The sun was shining brightly, and Zhou Junheng's magnetic voice penetrated her ears and her heart through the chirping of cicadas on the branches.

He firmly promised in words: "Shiye, if you become my wife, I will never betray you."

"Protect you and give you dignity and respect throughout your life."

I also understood it.

I nodded and waved goodbye, asking him to be careful on the road.

When she turned around, her family members looked at her questioningly, but they were too far away to hear clearly what they were saying.

All I could see was Zhou Junheng's serious expression when he was talking to Shi Ye.

Shi Ye's eyebrows slightly curved, and he walked to the other side and helped his grandmother with his mother.

"Grandma, have you guys decided on an auspicious date? What should I wear on the registration day?"

The footsteps of the Shi family, young and old, walked along the long corridor, the golden thread was threaded through the silk thread, and the good marriage was forever tied.

This relationship is over!
