“…”
My jealousy has reached its peak today, I can't stand it unless I get this bitch drunk!
Their sour voices brought Gu Xiao back to his senses.
But he didn't say anything, because he was very nervous.
After listening to what Lao Wu said about her, others envied him more and more, but only his heart was sinking.
She has a job now, so she won't be sent to the countryside to work as a farmer because she has no job, and she has enough ability to support herself.
Then, will she...still marry me?
This is why he was uneasy.
After all, apart from the two points mentioned above that can be of some use, he doesn't seem to have any other advantages.
He seemed to have many shortcomings. For example, he often heard his father scold him for being wild, disobedient, trouble-making, and a bastard.
He originally didn't care about these comments, but at this moment he suddenly felt a little annoyed. Why didn't he study harder and have more advantages in the past...
"Oh, the groom is pregnant!"
Seeing Gu Xiao coming, the aunts congratulated him with a smile and wisely made way for him.
A man in a neat army green uniform slowly appeared. Song Youyou looked at him in the mirror with some surprise, and finally couldn't help turning her head away.
He usually came back in training clothes at most, and this was the first time she saw him in formal military uniform.
There was no trace of the unruly and ruffian temperament on 㦳's body before, only a sense of dignity and abstinence remained, which was a very wonderful feeling.
"You look really good in your military uniform," she praised sincerely.
Gu Xiao didn't feel anything at all when others said this kind of thing.
The words coming out of her mouth made his ears feel hot, "...No, you are the prettier one."
Gu Xiao's uneasy heart calmed down a little. He walked slowly towards her, swallowed his dry throat, and stretched out his hand to her:
"I'm here to pick you up. Would you like to go home with me?"
At this moment, his deep eyes were full of piety.
"I swear on my life that I will never let my country down, and I will never let you down."
He spoke solemnly, enunciating each word carefully, and his noble military uniform seemed to give his words a sacred aura.
One can't help but think of a word: A promise is worth a thousand pieces of gold.
He was making a promise, a soldier's promise, to put her on an equal footing with the country.
I will sacrifice my blood to defend Xuanyuan, to protect our land and you.
Song Youyou's heart suddenly started beating wildly.
It was really unbearable for this carefree guy to suddenly become serious.
Even after many years, when she thought of this scene again, it was still vivid.
"Would you like to?"
Seeing her silence, his voice couldn't help but reveal a bit of nervousness.
Song Youyou came back to her senses and quickly hummed, then stood up somewhat bewilderedly.
"Of course, of course I would."
She placed her hand on his large palm.
As soon as her fingertips touched her, she felt her hand being held tightly, as if to prevent her from escaping. The next second, her waist tightened.
"ah--"
She cried out softly, and in the blink of an eye she was picked up by him around the waist.
"Wuhu~Brother Xiao is awesome! Brother Xiao is so domineering!!"
"Pick up the bride, pick up the bride~"
“…”
The brothers immediately started to make a fuss.
Even the battle-hardened aunts blushed.
"Oh, this little one is so good, how loving they are~"
"And look, this guy is light and strong, it doesn't look like he's struggling at all while holding the bride."
"Of course not. He's a soldier. Look at the bulging muscles on his arms..."
The aunt who was speaking nudged the aunt next to her with her elbow and gave a meaningful smile.
"It's obvious that he has endless energy, and he's also a hot-blooded young man. This night is going to be... cough..."
Fortunately, my aunt understood my situation and sighed but didn't say anything else.
The aunts present were all experienced people, so how could they not hear the second half of the words? They all nodded tacitly and smiled kindly.
After Gu Xiao picked her up, he never put her down again and carried her all the way to the car that was picking her up downstairs.
This bold and enthusiastic action made everyone excited, and the sound of teasing and cheering was endless.
As the person in charge, Song Youyou was also shocked, but at the same time she felt relieved.
Because his action resolved the issue of bride-picking customs that she had been worried about.
The current traditional custom is that before going to the mother-in-law's house, the mother and child's feet cannot touch the ground, and they are usually carried on the backs of their older brothers.
Since she had no brothers or elders, she didn't know what to do. But after Gu Xiao's action, she no longer had to worry.
The car drove steadily and soon returned to the military compound.
Song Youyou sat on the bed, looking at the festively decorated room, feeling a little unreal.
This life seems to be really different. Different choices have led to completely different directions in life.
She has a new home and this warm and passionate man.
