Chapter 43 His Size
Pei Zhouwu suddenly opened his eyes, and after a moment he turned over and sat up.
I could vaguely see him opening his mouth, but after waiting for a long time, I didn't hear any sound from him. Maybe he thought it was too ridiculous and didn't know what to say.
"you……"
He tried to respond, but then swallowed back his laughter.
"What's wrong?" Liu Fuying deliberately pretended to be innocent and asked, "Are those rumors true?"
Pei Zhouwu was depressed for a while again. After holding it in for a long time, he finally spoke.
"So, this is why you couldn't sleep in the middle of the night?" he asked Liu Fuying.
"Not really." Liu Fuying couldn't squat any longer, so she stood up and sat down beside him. "I was wondering if you would marry me now that you've seen me."
Pei Zhouwu turned to look at her, his eyes sparkling in the night.
"Aying, do you know the weight of marriage?" he asked solemnly.
Hearing his question, Liu Fuying was speechless for a rare moment.
She knew, of course she knew.
But what other method is there? It is so difficult to trick a child. Even stripping him naked will not work.
"Of course I know." The words came out of her mouth, and she was in another state of longing, "Husband and wife should support each other, share the joys and sorrows, sleep together in life and death, and grow old together."
"Well, have you thought it through?" Pei Zhouwu asked again.
"Yes, I have thought it through clearly since the moment I decided to stay here. But you..."
Liu Fuying pretended to be melancholy and spoke hesitantly as if he was afraid.
"Are you...are you willing to marry me?"
The only response she got was Pei Zhouwu's long silence again.
"I know what you're worried about." Liu Fuying leaned sideways and groped to grab Pei Zhouwu's hand. "You're worried that I'll be wronged, that I can't stand the hardship here, and even more worried that I'll be discovered by the guards outside and there will be a catastrophe. I've actually thought about all these things you're worried about, and I'm willing to do it."
She gripped it tighter, eager to express her determination.
"I really do. I am willing to accompany you. I really, really like you. I like you so much that I am willing to perish forever for you."
After a pause, she continued to speak affectionately.
"I want to marry you. I want to marry you."
“…”
Pei Zhouwu did not respond but just turned his head back. The night was quiet, but his heart was not at peace.
The lake of his heart was surging with waves, making it impossible for him to think normally.
Liu Fuying stopped pestering him and gave him some time to think it over.
I guess he has figured it out soon.
After a long while, he finally spoke again and asked, "If those rumors in the capital are true, are you still willing to marry me?"
"Of course I am willing."
Liu Fuying answered happily, without any heart beating or breath coming out.
"I want to marry you, but not for... that."
This was of course a lie. She had been doing that with him from the beginning to the end.
"Besides, I know the rumor is definitely false. You can't do it without it."
Pei Zhouwu turned back after hearing this and asked in surprise, "What do you mean by this? Do you know this?"
"I know." Liu Fuying moved her butt and sat closer to him, hugging his arm almost touching his, "Because I already felt it underwater just now."
"you……"
Pei Zhouwu held back the words "shameless".
Thinking back to earlier, her restless hand did indeed move down his abdomen.
"When you ask that, it means you agree, right?" Liu Fuying tilted her head. Even without the light, one could imagine how bright the smile on her face was.
Pei Zhouwu took a deep breath and indeed made up his mind.
"You've seen it and touched it, how can I not be responsible for you?" From his tone, there was helplessness but also doting.
"Very good."
Liu Fuying hugged his arm tightly and leaned her head against him affectionately.
"Tomorrow, let's get married tomorrow." She said excitedly.
"Tomorrow?" Pei Zhouwu was surprised and replied calmly, "Tomorrow is not too hasty."
"No hurry, no hurry. I have been thinking about this for more than a day. There is no hurry at all."
She giggled, and the night became sweet.
However, Pei Zhouwu's reaction was indifferent. He still had many concerns in his heart and was not as happy as her.
"Aying." After thinking for a long time, he finally spoke.
"We got married without our parents as witnesses, without the blessing of relatives and friends, and without a formal ceremony, but marriage is a major event in life, and I still feel ashamed and sorry for you."
"I don't care."
Liu Fuying put his hands forward, put one hand into his palm, and covered the back of his hand with the other hand and held it tightly.
"Anyway, you just promised me, you can't go back on your word."
Then he spoke righteously, and continued: "With the heaven and earth as witnesses, the sun and the moon as witnesses, isn't it more romantic than those vulgar etiquette rules. As for the ceremony, other things can be omitted, but wedding clothes are a must. I will go down the mountain to buy wedding clothes tomorrow. By the way, you stand up first."
He pulled Pei Zhouwu up, put his arms around him and measured him from his back to his waist.
"do what?"
"Whatever you want to buy, of course you need to measure the size in advance if you want to buy wedding clothes."
"Turn around." She turned Pei Zhouwu over so that he turned his back to her, and carefully measured him from back to front again, "Don't think about this or that. Since you have made up your mind, you will get married sooner or later. If you don't get married tomorrow, you will get married in the future. It's better to get married sooner and feel at ease."
"Put your hands up."
She looked very formal, and her joy at getting married was evident at this moment.
Pei Zhouwu felt her enthusiasm and was gradually persuaded to compromise and actively cooperate with her.
You are right.
Since he has made up his mind to take responsibility and marry her, the marriage will happen sooner or later.
Could it be that she was waiting to marry her after he was pardoned?
There is a high probability that that day will never come.
The emperor was very suspicious and would rather kill him by mistake than let him go, regardless of whether he was plotting treason or not.
After thinking it through, I felt a lot more relaxed.
A faint smile crept up from the corner of his lips, and his anticipation for getting married grew stronger.
"Okay." After Liu Fuying finished measuring, she threw herself into his arms and hugged him tightly. "When we go down the mountain tomorrow, I will buy you a set of wedding clothes that fit you, as well as wedding candles and wedding cakes. Don't worry about the wedding blanket, it's too big and hard to hide. Anyway, as long as I'm with you, I'm willing to sleep on a stone slab."
Pei Zhouwu listened quietly, and smiled as she spoke.
"Then tonight..."
"What's going on tonight?" Pei Zhouwu suddenly became nervous.
The scene at the pond resurfaced in his mind, causing his whole body to stiffen again.
"Why are you panicking?" Liu Fuying stepped out of his arms, tilted her head and deliberately laughed at him.
"I... am not panicking."
"Obviously, you're stuttering when you speak. Okay, I won't laugh at you anymore. Usually, engaged couples can't see each other the day before the wedding, but we've already seen each other for a day today, so let's sleep in separate rooms tonight just for the occasion. Originally, I wanted you to sleep in the back room, even if it's just one bed and one bed below the other."
