Du Ziqiang awkwardly put his hands behind his back. In his more than 20 years of life, this was the first time he had ever known the meaning of the word "awkward"...
But in this situation, it seems like the man should speak first.
He hesitated before saying, "Um... this... Okra, Yalan told me about your situation, and I sympathize with what you've been through."
I also think you should live independently and live the life you want!
Cheng Qiuqiu looked up at Du Ziqiang, not knowing where she got the courage.
She said, "I...I really like you...If you like me too, let's get our marriage certificate tomorrow...If you don't like me, then forget it, you can leave."
Du Ziqiang said, "What's so good about me? Even I don't think I'm that great..."
Cheng Qiu Kui said, "Who said that? I think you're great! You're so cultured, you look like someone who's been through a lot of learning."
Du Ziqiang gave a bitter twitch of his lips. He'd only gone to a vocational school...
However, in those days, graduating from a vocational high school was enough to become a state cadre!
When I was in vocational school, the government would give me a monthly stipend.
Du Ziqiang said, "You can't judge a book by its cover. Actually, I don't think you really know me. You were fooled by my appearance and that's why you like me. You probably don't have that deep feeling for me right now!"
Cheng Qiu Kui said, "Feelings can be cultivated. After marriage, you can't cultivate as deep a feeling as you want?!"
If you don't like me, then forget it... You can leave now, thank you for coming to see me!
Du Ziqiang hesitated and took a step, but after only one step, he stopped in his tracks.
Does he really not like Cheng Qiu Kui?
The girl was very pretty and had a fiery and straightforward personality; he was amused by her bluntness several times...
But is this love? He asked himself this question for the first time.
He said, "Okra, it's not that I don't like you, it's that I'm afraid I don't like you enough, that I'm not worthy of your feelings for me..."
Cheng Qiuqiu said, "How will you know if you don't try? Your feelings aren't good enough for my feelings for you. Why don't we give it a try?"
Du Ziqiang looked into those clear, large eyes, and the corner of his lips twitched slightly.
Does this girl even know what the two of them are going to do after they get married?
Is there anyone who can try this thing out? And if you try it out, can you return it?
He lowered his voice and asked, "Girl, do you know what you'll be doing after you get married?"
Cheng Qiu Kui nodded and said seriously, "I know, it's about a couple living together. They put their money together, earn and spend it together, work hard to save money together, take care of their parents together, is there anything else?"
She tried hard to think of what she would do after getting married; this was all she could think of.
Du Ziqiang's lips twitched slightly; the most important thing, Cheng Qiuqiu didn't say.
He hesitated to ask, but then looked at Cheng Qiu Kui's innocent face.
This girl probably doesn't know that there will be "that kind of thing" to do after marriage...
But he couldn't bring himself to ask the question...
To cover his embarrassment, he coughed lightly and said, "Um... that's about it..."
Cheng Qiu Kui said, "I'm willing to do all of this with you. If you're willing to do it with me too, let's get our marriage certificate tomorrow! I really want to live independently and live the life I want!"
Looking at the longing in Cheng Qiu Kui's eyes, Du Ziqiang was speechless.
He said, "Um... let me talk to your sister..."
He opened the door and strode out.
Cheng Qiuqiu's tears streamed down her face the moment Du Ziqiang took that step.
She thought Du Ziqiang didn't want to marry her, otherwise, why didn't he just tell her directly?
She probably didn't want to reject her in person, which is why she told Cheng Xiao Kui that she ran back to Cheng Chun Kui's room crying.
Cheng Chunqiu looked at Cheng Qiuqiu, who was running back crying, and asked, "Why are you crying? What did Du Ziqiang say? Did he reject you?"
Cheng Qiuqiu choked up as she said, "He probably doesn't want to marry me. I knew it! How could someone like me like him?"
I'm no good at all. My mom scolds me every day for being stupid and incompetent, saying I can't do anything right.
Cheng Chun Kui said, "Shut up! Don't talk about yourself! You're great, absolutely wonderful, you're the one and only Cheng Qiu Kui in the world. Your eldest sister and second sister both like you! You're our best little sister!"
You're the most capable younger sister I've ever met! Anyone who dares to say anything bad about you, I'll slap them across the face!
If someone says something bad about you, it's because they don't understand you and haven't seen your good qualities!
She reached out and took her sister's hand.
Unfortunately, her back injury was too severe, so she could only lie on the bed. Otherwise, she would definitely have hugged Cheng Qiu Kui tightly.
Cheng Qiu Kui held her sister's hand and burst into tears.
She thought that only her two older sisters and younger brother truly cared for her, so why would anyone else think she was good?
Du Ziqiang walked up to Cheng Xiaokui and said, "Can I talk to you alone for a few minutes?"
Cheng Xiao Kui said, "Of course!"
There were too many people in the courtyard; half of the tables were already full.
She led Du Ziqiang to the streetlights outside the courtyard, where the light was slightly brighter.
She looked at the hesitant Du Ziqiang and said, "I know things are sudden. It's a sudden decision for you to accept okra, and you can't accept it. There's nothing I can do about it."
If you disagree, I won't blame you; you can just say so! Getting married is a big deal, it can't be taken lightly!
Du Ziqiang said, "I didn't say I didn't like her, but I don't really know how much I like her."
I'm afraid my feelings for her aren't love, and I'm also afraid her feelings for me aren't love.
