"I..." I was hesitating. Should I lie to Brick and trick him into escaping this disaster first, or should I confess my true feelings even at the risk of being beaten into a vegetable?
"Wang Hao..." Taozi gently pulled my hand, using her eyes to persuade me to tell this lie. At the same time, she was also looking forward to it.
Taozi was looking forward to this lie and was satisfied with this short-lived happiness.
How could I hurt her feelings at this moment? I made up my mind and blurted out, "Okay."
After saying this, I actually felt very relaxed. Strange, am I also looking forward to being with Taozi?
"Really, you really agree?" Taozi looked at me happily, with tears in the corners of her eyes.
She knew it was a lie, so why was she so happy?
I nodded, hoping that the girl could be happy for a little while longer, even if, even if sadness came again in the near future.
"That's right." Brick threw the brick aside again with satisfaction, rubbing his rough hands with a happy expression: "Boy, my sister is the best girl in the world. It's your blessing to have her!"
That was true, so I nodded along.
"I hope you will be fine, forever." Brick said with a smile on his face, holding my and Peach's hands together.
Looking at Taozi's shy face, I felt very happy. At least at this moment, I was truly happy.
Of course, being able to have a girl like Taozi is the happiest thing in life, but...
I shook my head, not wanting to think too much, just enjoying this short happiness. Taozi was the same, enjoying this short happiness. We all knew that we would go our separate ways if we left Brick's rental house. Only Brick didn't know, this stubborn boy just thought we were really meant to be together, and kept looking at us with a smile.
"Come, follow me." Brick took Peach's and my hands and led us to the table.
"Brother, what are you doing?" Taozi asked puzzledly.
Brick was grinning, and he took out some red candles from the drawer and pasted some big "happiness" characters on the wall. Taozi and I were both stunned, wondering what Brick was up to, could it be... I didn't dare to think about it anymore, it was too absurd!
"Why don't we get married now?" Brick arranged everything and said with a smile, "Words are not enough, the wedding ceremony is the proof. After the wedding ceremony, you will be husband and wife, and you are not allowed to be attracted to other people!"
"Brother, we are only sixteen!" Taozi said helplessly, "It's too early to get married. Where did you learn this? Stop it now. If others know about it, they will laugh at you!"
I nodded my head vigorously beside him, indicating that I fully agreed with Taozi's words. Wedding?! What nonsense! How could a girl as smart as Taozi have such a silly brother? Maybe he learned this from movies and TV dramas?
Brick ignored his sister and looked at me angrily: "Why, don't you want to marry my sister?"
I was sweating profusely. "It's not that I don't want to, it's just that it's too early. We are still students. And marriage requires a marriage certificate to be legally binding. If we just get married, it doesn't count as a marriage..."
"Don't give me that crap!" Brick said, "Let me ask you, do the newlyweds around you choose their wedding date based on the day they get the marriage certificate or the day of the ceremony?"
I thought about it carefully and said, "It's based on the day of the ceremony." Some people get the certificate before the ceremony, and some get it after the ceremony, but in any case, the wedding date is counted as the day of the ceremony.
"Yes, this is our Chinese custom! The wedding day is the wedding day!" Brick said firmly: "As long as you and my sister have been married, even if we haven't obtained a marriage certificate, we can be considered husband and wife! If anyone disagrees, I will hit him on the head with two bricks immediately!"
I was about to say that I had to inform my parents about this kind of thing, but I shut up immediately after hearing Brick's last words. I was really afraid that this silly kid would throw a brick at my parents. This farce is really getting bigger and bigger...
I looked at Taozi for help, and Taozi immediately understood what I meant and said, "Brother, what you are doing is simply nonsense. I don't agree, so let Wang Hao go now. Anyway, he has agreed to be with me."
I looked at her gratefully. There are not many girls who are so considerate. Unexpectedly, Brick picked up the brick on the ground and said viciously: "I don't care. If Wang Hao doesn't marry you today, I will beat him into a vegetable! Sister, I always listened to you in the past. But I am thinking about your lifelong happiness today, so don't blame me. Sooner or later, you will understand my painstaking efforts! Don't you like this guy very much? He has a unique view on Shakespeare, and he is humorous, gentle and affectionate. He is a rare and first-class good husband?"
I stared at Taozi in amazement, totally unable to believe that Taozi had praised me like this. This was the first time in my life that someone had praised me like this! Thinking back to the time I spent with Taozi, I was indeed quite talkative (or even a hooligan), changing my previous taciturn personality to become a complete gangster. But me, but I pursued Taozi to piss off Xia Xue!
However, knowing that Taozi praised me so much, I was still very happy. I am humorous, funny, gentle and affectionate...
"That's what I said, but...but, it's still too early..." Taozi seemed very speechless.
"Not too early, not too early." Brick said, "In ancient times, many girls got married at the age of sixteen or seventeen. You just got married at a good time. Wang Hao, come and get married quickly, or I will beat you into a vegetable!" As he said that, he shook the brick a few times.
