Chapter 4 Agreeing to Marriage
"Lao Jiang, I don't say that I should treat everyone equally, but you shouldn't be so obviously partial. I meet the requirements of a single gay man, so why can't I date her?"
After saying that, Huo Jingchen took a step forward and walked to Xia Mi's side.
"May I have your name?"
Xia Mi closed her eyes, her face burning from being stared at by the others, "Xia Mi, Xia of Xia Tian, Mi of Maitreya Buddha..."
She really couldn't think of how to introduce the original owner's name for a while.
"The Mi in Maitreya Buddha..." Huo Jingchen murmured softly, and then chuckled, "What a tough name. I have a weak fate, so I need someone as tough as you."
Xia Mi: “…”
Is there no one who can take care of this person?
"Nonsense, marriage is a matter that needs to be discussed carefully by both parents. You are secretly getting married. If Minister Huo gets angry, how can I respond?"
Captain Jiang really couldn't stand listening to this brat's nonsense.
After the words fell, the atmosphere became tense.
Li Jiajia was also unwilling to accept it. She gave up on Huo Jingchen in the first place because his family was not of the same class as hers. Her parents had been persuading her to give up, and Huo Jingchen was too cold to her, so she gave up.
"Captain Huo, this woman has no father or mother. If it weren't for the kindness of her adoptive mother's family, she would be an illegal resident now. Uncle Huo and Auntie Huo will not be happy if you marry someone who is not an illegal resident."
When someone mentioned his parents, Huo Jingchen's face changed slightly and his eyes turned dark.
"Since you are so considerate of my parents, why don't you change your last name to Huo? My parents would definitely be happy if they had an obedient puppet like you. I just don't know if the instructor agrees."
Huo Jingchen's words once again pushed the atmosphere to a climax.
The instructor's expression was like a color palette. He glared at Li Jiajia fiercely and swallowed the curse in his mouth.
"Except for the consent of Comrade Xia, who needs to be consulted regarding my lifelong affairs, anyone else's words are bullshit." Huo Jingchen looked serious, his eyes calm and his emotions difficult to discern.
Xia Mi chose the right time and wanted to explain, but before she could finish her words, Captain Jiang interrupted her again.
"We'll discuss this later. Send Comrade Xia to the guesthouse first. I'll make arrangements for this matter."
Captain Jiang, who had led Huo Jingchen for nearly six years, knew what he meant.
He really means it.
Although Huo Jingchen is a bit muddleheaded and speaks harshly in daily life, he is a clear-headed person when it comes to major events and war missions.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to become a battalion commander at the age of 27. Judging from Huo Jingchen's current military achievements, he is only one first-class merit away from his next promotion.
Huo Jingchen has followed Captain Jiang for so long, so naturally he understands his temper.
The guesthouse is near the military base, just a few steps away.
"Comrade Huo, I'm very grateful that you saved me twice, but we just met and everything is going a little too fast. Let's forget about getting married."
Xia Mi admitted that this man's appearance was one in a million, and it also suited her aesthetic taste.
But she had also seen his eloquence. He even dared to confront his boss. If she got married, she would be so frustrated that she couldn't even cry at home! Huo Jingchen didn't say anything, but just stared at her.
Xia Mi felt guilty when being stared at, so she smiled slightly with a flattering look in her eyes.
Huo Jingchen's eyes swept over Xia Mi.
"You know your situation better than I do. Your adoptive mother's family didn't give you a chance to go back. You have to choose between going back as an illegal immigrant or living on the island. Outsiders have no relatives on the island, and the limit of stay is one week."
The content of the letter just now said that if Yan Yiming could not accept Xia Mi, he was asked to find a family for Xia Mi for the sake of the Xia family.
Because Xia Yaoyao's household registration needs to be moved back to the Xia family, Xia Mi's household registration will be moved to Zhuifeng Island within a week, or moved back to Xia Yaoyao's previous home.
Xia Yaoyao was the only child in the family before. It was extremely difficult to prove the blood relationship and get an independent household registration book.
"Just tell me if you need my cooperation in the marriage." As she spoke, she looked as if she was ready to sacrifice herself.
Xia Mi accepted her fate. It didn't matter who she married. At least this man was pleasing to the eye. If they had a quarrel in the future, she could just take a look at him and calm down.
If all else fails, wait until she becomes rich through the system and then kick her out.
Huo Jingchen naturally had no idea what Xia Mi was thinking. He just thought that she was too scared and had been bullied by her adoptive mother's family, so she changed her face and agreed when she heard that she would become an illegal resident.
"I will take care of the rest. You stay well in the guesthouse."
Huo Jingchen walked Xia Mi to the door of the room. He stood at the door and looked around the room. "I'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy you some daily necessities."
"Don't bother you, I can go by myself."
The man gave up and moved aside to make way. "Then go ahead."
“…”
Was she really right to agree to marry him? In the end, Huo Jingchen left to go shopping, leaving Xia Mi alone in the guesthouse.
She sat on the bed and looked at everything in the room: an ordinary wooden desk with a big hole in the middle, a welded steel washstand that was very old-fashioned, and a small wooden cabinet.
Even the bed was a 1.2-meter-long hardwood bed with a very thin mattress, and the quilt faintly emitted a damp and musty smell.
Xia Mi is not picky, as long as she can sleep.
The past few days have been extremely difficult due to the rush on the road.
The lighting in the house was very poor, so Xia Mi opened the window to let in some air. From the window, she could see the sea in the distance, and the sunlight made the waves sparkle on the sea.
Knock knock knock——
The door was open, and Xia Mi turned around to look.
It was Yan Yiming who came with a crutch. His left foot was in a cast and his face had slight abrasions. His facial features were regular but a little dark. He was about 1.8 meters tall and the style of the clothes he wore was similar to Huo Jingchen's.
When Yan Yiming heard Li Jiajia complaining about the trouble Xia Mi had caused, he didn't care about the severity of her injuries and came over on crutches to persuade Xia Mi to leave.
He has worked hard to get to where he is now, and if he leaves a bad impression on his leaders because of the trouble he has caused, it would be tantamount to destroying his own future.
When he arrived at the guesthouse, he saw a beautiful figure standing in front of the window, with her hair fluttering in the wind.
When the woman turned around and saw the man's face clearly, Yan Yiming's heart seemed to skip a beat, and then began beating wildly.
The woman stood against the light, her almond-shaped eyes were watery under her slender eyebrows, her appearance was lively and stunning, with red lips and white teeth.
"Who are you?"
The original owner had only seen Yan Yiming as a child in his memory, so naturally he didn't recognize the man in front of him.
Yan Yiming's movements suddenly became stiff. "I, I am Yan Yiming."
At this moment, he regretted breaking off the engagement.
The person who came was Yan Yiming. Xia Mi's face suddenly turned unhappy. She suppressed her smile and said, "Don't worry, I won't pester you anymore. Your partner has already made it very clear what you want to express."
When it comes to Li Jiajia, Yan Yiming felt like someone poured a bucket of cold water on him, and he went straight back to reality from fantasy.
Yes, he is in a relationship now.
Xia Mi's eyes changed when she looked at him. Although she was smiling, there was no smile in her beautiful eyes.
Yan Yiming looked at Xia Mi, feeling extremely regretful, and tried to explain in order to gain Xia Mi's understanding.
"I am sorry for this matter. The pressure from your family and my family has fallen on me all at once. I don't know how to solve it."
Scumbag! Xia Mi looked away, impatience flashing in her eyes.
“I didn’t know what to do, so I immediately found a partner. Comrade Yan, your way of relieving stress is quite unique.
Also, you deceived me and the Xia family. You lied and claimed to be a soldier even though you were not one. You made me go there in vain and suffered humiliation. "
Xia Mi didn't want to continue discussing with him. She was not in the right and had no right to blame others. She was just upset about being humiliated today.
"If you really feel sorry for me, don't show up in front of me again."
"Then what are you going to do? You are homeless now, and you can only live on the island for a week." Yan Yiming frowned, looking anxious. He lowered his head as if he had made a major decision. "Otherwise, I will go and apologize to Jia Jia. She will understand me, and our engagement will remain the same. What do you think?"
"I don't think it's very good." Huo Jingchen's voice came faintly from behind.
