Bi Qiao’an lay motionless in the icy snow, watching helplessly as the falling flakes slowly buried her. As her consciousness faded, her mind drifted back to the three arduous years she had spent ...
Chapter 241 New Standards in the Marriage Market
Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan nodded. Although they were a little unhappy, they did not hold a grudge against Yu Shui.
Seeing the two of them nod, Yu Shui breathed a sigh of relief, and then started talking about their partners.
"As soon as I was able to go out, my mother arranged a blind date for me. She said the girl was beautiful, gentle, and filial, and she insisted that I go. I couldn't refuse, so I went. Guess what happened?"
"Why, tell me what's going on!"
"That girl's facial features are quite delicate, but her complexion is very dark, really dark."
Yu Shui pointed at his face and said, "It's already dark here, but it's nothing in front of him. He's almost blending into the night."
"No way, the little girl didn't use sunscreen?"
"Yes, she said that at first she thought the sunscreen had expired, so she bought an international brand, but it still didn't work.
I forgot what I did afterwards, but I was tanned like a coal-black briquette after being exposed to the sun for a while.”
"What about you? Have you talked to them?"
Yu Shui shook his head. "Although she was pretty before, after getting tanned, she looks almost like a non-Chinese. I feel a little scared when I see her.
And you said that during the holidays, we stayed at home for several months without any sunlight at all. Even when we went to the fields, we covered ourselves tightly so that we could not be exposed to direct sunlight.
But even in this situation, she can't even turn white, so she will definitely continue to turn darker in the future.
If I date her, what will I do if my child is also black? "
Yu Shuibian nodded as he spoke. He felt that what he said made sense. If there was a black child in the future, he really would not be able to love him.
Yu Shui was still waiting for others to agree with him, but after waiting for a long time, he found that no one spoke. He looked up at everyone and found that there were a few "black people" in the corner with angry faces.
Oh, I said the wrong thing again!
Yu Shui slapped himself twice in embarrassment, "Sorry, sorry, I said the wrong thing, I just, just..."
Yu Shui was so anxious that he didn't know what to say. Then he saw Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan as if he saw a savior. He pointed at them and said, "I just want to have a baby like them. Look at them, they can't get tanned."
The innocent couple was speechless again. Facing the looks from everyone, Shen Yanming sighed, pointed at his own face and said, "Is this not black?"
"You are not blackening Qiao An!"
"Qiao An has never been exposed to the sun before. Her face is all pink and she hasn't recovered yet!"
I thought the matter was over, but someone was sharp-eyed and pointed at Shen Yanming's hands and said, "Your hands are so white!"
Alas, I can’t hide it anymore!
Shen Yanming simply showed it to everyone openly, "Do you want to know why?"
Shen Yanming found that not only Yu Shui nodded, but also the girls in the office and those tanned male colleagues were looking at him with burning eyes.
"It's energy rain. It can make your skin whiter!"
I didn't expect the answer to be so simple, but Yu Shui still asked: "Now that you two have discovered the secret to whitening, why don't you take care of your face?"
"Are you stupid?"
Chen Yan understood Yu Shui at a glance and said, "You've already pointed out that my hands turned white. If my face turns back to normal, won't people treat me like a monkey?
Besides, who knows if your face will return to its original state after being bleached in the sun.”
"Okay, you have a point, but I still want to become white." Yu Shui said.
The male colleagues who had just been hurt by Yu Shui also nodded.
Seeing this, Qin Yiren opened her drawer, took out a few compressed facial masks and threw them to them, "Go back and get the energy rain bubbles, and then apply them on your face."
Qin Yiren was not afraid of offending others. "You guys try it first and set an example for everyone. If it really works, we can all become whiter. Oh, this skin color is really unbearable."
Qin Yiren looked at her hands with disdain. They had never been so dark before.
After hearing this, the people in the office didn't mind and put away the compressed facial masks with a smile.
Wei Qin looked at Yu Shui and asked with a smile: "Now that we have a solution, do you still dislike the girl?"
"I don't dislike her, I'm just afraid of giving birth to a black baby. But it's too late to regret now. I've already made it clear to her."
Wei Qin shook her head, "That's such a pity, those of you who are not married should hurry up, the times are bad now and the standards for finding a partner keep changing.
If you don’t pay more attention, you will either be single or just pick up what others have left.”
"Sister, what do you mean?"
"Don't you know that the most popular things in the marriage market now have changed from having a car and a house to having land and food? Now add the color of your skin to the mix. Just imagine how competitive you are."
Yu Shui couldn't help but curse after hearing this, "Fuck, I've fallen from a golden bachelor to a leftover man who can't find a wife?"
"What do you think? My neighbor's daughter got married to a family in Liugang Village, Chuan County two days ago."
Seeing that everyone was puzzled, Wei Qin continued, "It's actually normal to marry into the village, right? But that girl married there to be a stepmother. There are two sons in that family, and the older one is ten years old.
She married him because he had more land."
Yu Shui was stunned after hearing this, "Then, then why don't I get that girl back?"
"Haha, look at you. Otherwise, we can digest it internally. Look at how many beautiful girls are around you!"
After hearing this, Yu Shui actually looked around himself. Xia Ran, Qin Yiren, Ye Xiaoxiao, and Li Yueya all seemed to be single, but their gazes were a little evasive when he looked over there.
The only person who looked at him intently was Michelle. Yu Shui felt a little nauseous instantly. Even if he was naked, he would never look for someone like Michelle.
Seeing Yu Shui quickly passing by her, Michelle wiped away her tears with a sense of grievance. Her situation at home had been really difficult over the past few months.
Just like Wei Qin said, if she couldn't find a partner, her family would arrange for her to go on a blind date with an old man from the countryside.
She looked up at Shen Yanming. The man was pouring water for his wife and didn't pay the slightest attention to her.
After all, it doesn't belong to her, Michelle laughed at herself, it seems that she has to find a partner quickly.
But she doesn't want a lot of land, she just wants to find someone who is handsome and rich.
Yu Shui ignored the gazes of others, just stood up with a smile and said to everyone: "Girls present, please consider me. Although I have little land and little food, and sometimes I am very jumpy, but I am very considerate!"
