"Actually, given my current situation, you shouldn't marry me."

"You were the one who asked for marriage. I was drunk that night, and you were greedy and secretly slept next to me, which is why what happened later happened. It's too late for Jiang Yiyu to regret it now."

"Do you regret it?"

"No regrets, how about you?"

Jiang Yiyu frowned, pretending to be in deep thought for a moment, then said in a serious tone, "A little bit."

Song Shengsheng hit him hard and pretended to be angry: "It's too late!"

…

After returning home, Wang Jing took Song Shengsheng aside and asked with some concern about what happened at the Li family today.

Song Shengsheng first described the layout of the Li family's courtyard to her in a very emotional way, and then emphasized the rules of the Li family.

Wang Jing couldn't help but sigh after hearing this: "I've never seen a so-called aristocratic family with so many problems these days. And what about Yi Yu? Did he have any arguments with anyone today?"

Song Shengsheng took Wang Jing's arm and shook his head. "Brother Yi Yu's rules and etiquette are impeccable. Even his uncle can't find fault with him. There's no need to worry. What I'm worried about now is going back to the Jiang family tomorrow. I get a headache when I think about what will happen."

As he spoke, Song Shengsheng turned his head and glanced at the living room door, lowering his voice a little: "I guess Brother Yi Yu is also annoyed. He has been very quiet since leaving the Li family. A few days ago, he got a headache when he thought about going back to the Jiang family. What else can I say? He was angry about why he didn't jump out of a crack in the stone, and he even cried!"

"Ah? Oh, look at how anxious this makes the child." Wang Jing thought for a moment and said, "How about this! Mom will go with you tomorrow. We'll carry the gifts, and they won't be able to hit someone smiling. With me here, they won't dare to do anything."

Song Shengsheng sighed, "Let's just forget it. Uncle Jiang and Aunt Zhao are both troublemakers. Don't let them do anything that might make Brother Yi Yu feel embarrassed in front of you. He has a strong sense of self-esteem, and if he gets upset, it'll take him a while to recover. Besides, with me here, nothing serious will happen."

Wang Jing nodded. "That's the only way. I'll have my driver and bodyguards pick you up tomorrow, and then bring you back safely. How do you think about this?"

"Goodbye. I'm afraid that if I do anything more, he'll blame me. Let's keep it simple. We can just drive there and back. It'll give me an excuse not to drink. But I'm worried now. I'm afraid Uncle Jiang and Zhao Rong will ask us to stay overnight at the Jiang family's. If we stay overnight, I'm really afraid something might happen."

Wang Jing sighed again: "If we go to the Li family and you don't want to stay, I can just call and find a random excuse to call you back. But if we go to the Jiang family, there's really nothing I can do. After all, it's still my home... Sigh... Poor child, what can I do?"

…

After chatting with Wang Jing, at night, Song Shengsheng wrapped himself in a coat and sat side by side with Jiang Yiyu in the corridor. The two looked at the Taihu stone landscape covered with a thin layer of snow and were silent together.

After a long silence, Song Shengsheng yawned: "This winter is not as cold as I thought."

"It's almost spring, and it should be warmer."

"Haven't you heard of a late spring cold snap? It's going to be cold for a while yet in spring."

Jiang Yiyu smiled and buried his face in the wool scarf wrapped around his neck: "These past two days, I always feel like there's a layer of fog, not even stars."

Song Shengsheng looked up and said, "I guess Xingxing has gone home for the New Year too."

Jiang Yiyu looked at her and said, "My dear, why are you studying history?"

Song Shengsheng drew out a long hum and said, "There's no special reason, I just think it's cool. The cool thing is that when we read history books, we can look back at the sun, moon, rivers and mountains, and historical changes thousands of years ago. We can also use history as a mirror to look forward to the future.

A few words in history books may be the magnificent life of an ancient person, which can show how insignificant people are in the long river of history. However, it is these insignificant people like a drop in the ocean who have created and accumulated a magnificent civilization.

I once heard a saying, I can't remember where it came from, that goes, 'Three thousand years of studying history yields nothing but fame and fortune; ninety thousand miles of journeying to understand the truth ultimately leads to poetry, wine, and the countryside.' Young people should have lofty ambitions; don't despise those who are poor. Who knows, one day they might soar to fame and leave their names in history. Anything is possible.

"That sounds quite plausible."

"It's just that my answers are always specious and pieced together. Just listen to them." She turned to look at Jiang Yiyu and raised the corners of her lips: "But to be honest, reading history books can really calm your mind."

"tomorrow……"

"What's wrong?"

"I'm going back to the Jiang family tomorrow, and I was thinking... otherwise you shouldn't go back with me. It's New Year's Day, and I don't want to make you unhappy." Jiang Yiyu avoided her gaze and lowered his head.

Song Shengsheng sighed and leaned her head on his shoulder: "You don't want me to be unhappy, so you have the heart to let me worry about you?"

"That's not what I meant. I just...felt...that..."

"Stop talking. No matter how much you say, I will go with you. You will be bullied without me."

"No."

"I know everything. You can't comfort me, Jiang Yiyu. You must always remember that you are mine. Even if you are bullied, it can only be me who bullies you. No one is allowed to touch even a hair on your head, and you are not allowed to let others touch it either."

Jiang Yiyu leaned his face towards the top of her head: "I'm sorry."

"If you say sorry again, you won't be able to go to bed tonight."

"right……"
