When Wu Shi heard me address him, he was no longer as calm as before; his face instantly turned red.
"Yes, wife."
I think my face must have turned red too, but it's not a big deal, since we're in the same boat.
After bringing Wu Shi home, my mother was so excited that she couldn't express it in words.
I don't know why my mom is so proud of Wu Shi. It must be because of Wu Shi's unique temperament and the affability he exudes.
Wu Shi and I weren't in a hurry to tell my mom that we were married.
If I tell you now, won't there be no surprise?
When Wu Shigang and I arrived home, the food was already served.
I smacked my lips as I looked at the chicken stew with mushrooms and all sorts of other delicacies on the table.
Isn't this blatant favoritism? I've never seen anyone eat such a lavish meal before.
I'm lucky to have had a delicious meal today, thanks to Wu Shi.
At the dinner table, Mom started her matchmaking act again, praising me wildly for being so wonderful.
He used almost every word he could think of in his entire life.
Wu Shi listened and responded casually, the two of them singing in unison, their performance so convincing it could have been a family matchmaking movie.
After we finished eating, my mom immediately sent my dad to the kitchen to clean up the dishes.
She tried her best to persuade Wu Shi and me to stay at home a little longer.
Seeing my mom so busy going back and forth, I couldn't bear to hide it from her any longer.
"Mom, I have something to tell you," I said casually, sitting on the sofa.
My mom asked very perfunctorily, "What's wrong? Are you short of money? I'll have your dad transfer some to you later."
I waved my hand and said, "No, I don't need money right now. The allowance my company gives me is enough for my expenses outside."
"I just wanted to tell you that Wu Shi and I have registered our marriage."
My mom casually replied, "Oh, it's not that you're short of money."
But they quickly realized what was happening and rose up from the ground:
"What did you say? You two are married!"
When did this happen?
"How come I didn't know?"
Why didn't you tell me?
I turned around, took out the marriage certificate from my pocket, and threw it into my mother's hand:
"They got married right before I came here. Look, see for yourself."
"Besides, I already told you."
My mom's hands were shaking as she held the marriage certificate.
"Wait, wait, wait, you only told me after everything was already settled."
My dad, holding a rag in his left hand and a plate in his right, rushed out.
"What? Xiaoxi, you got married?"
When did this happen?
Looking at my dad's wide-eyed, flustered expression, I couldn't help but find it a little funny.
"Pfft, hahaha, Dad, what kind of look is that? Hahaha!"
When my dad saw me laughing at him, he looked down at the dishcloth and plate in his hands and looked a little embarrassed.
Then he ran back to the kitchen, put the plate in the sink, washed his hands, and ran back to the living room.
"Xiao Xi, have you thought it through?"
"Oh well, you're right. If you hadn't thought things through, the wedding would have been over anyway. Sigh."
My dad looked so wronged, I felt a little sorry for him.
I walked over to my father and sat in his lap.
"Okay, Dad, we've been together for so long and we understand each other well. Don't worry, we'll be happy."
My father didn't say anything, he just gently stroked my head, I don't know what he was thinking.
My mother held Wu Shi's hand and said:
"Wu Shi, why didn't you tell Mom sooner? I was still working so hard here. Oh dear, I never expected this."
“That’s good. Wu Shi, you have to treat my daughter well. She’s our only precious daughter.”
I was stunned when I heard this. What is this? Why are they talking about mom?
Good grief, they're not even going through the proper procedures anymore.
Wu Shi, standing to the side, replied respectfully:
"Don't worry, now that I've made this decision, I will spend the rest of my life taking good care of Xiaoxi."
"After all, he is my wife now, so it is only natural for me to treat him well."
After hearing Wu Shi's promise, my mother's face lit up with a big smile.
"That's good, that's good, Mom believes you."
"Then how about we pick a good day and have a big, lively wedding for you two? What do you think?"
Wu Shi shook his head upon hearing this:
"Mom, there's no need for a wedding. We Taoists have rules that holding a wedding can easily involve karma, which might have some impact on our future."
As soon as I said that, my mother panicked a little:
"Huh? Ah! Then don't bother with it, just make sure you're all doing well."
Seeing my mom like this, I couldn't help but find it a little funny.
It's actually quite a pity, considering what girl doesn't want to have a wedding?
However, there is no way around it. Once you enter the Taoist sect and learn the Five Arts, holding a wedding will involve many karmic consequences, and will also change your destiny due to the Five Deficiencies and Three Shortcomings.
Fortune telling is no small matter, and no one dares to take that risk.
Before Wu Shi and I returned to the antique shop, my dad gave me a big hug.
This man was once my sole support, but now I have many more people to rely on. Perhaps this feels like a sense of loneliness to my father.
But that's life; no one can be their parents' darling forever.
We also need to move towards a more distant future, a fulfilling, beautiful, and promising future that belongs to us.
It all felt like a dream. Back at the Taoist temple, I told the warrior about our marriage, and also told my master, my senior brother, and my master's wife.
However, only the master's wife was surprised; the master and senior master's expressions seemed to indicate that they had expected all of this.
I asked my master with some doubt, "Master, don't you have anything to say?"
"This leaves me feeling a bit helpless."
My master sat on the stone bench, took a sip of tea, and grinned at me:
"Hahaha, it would be abnormal if you weren't married."
"When I first read your fortune, I could already tell that you would be married this Lantern Festival."
"Moreover, your senior uncle had already calculated Wu Shi's marriage fortune, so when the two of us are together, we naturally understand what's going on."
I was a little confused: "Didn't you and your senior brother think of trying to persuade us?"
The master placed the teacup on the stone table and then continued:
"You two are both good kids, so there's no need for us to stop you."
"I just don't know why, but after you got married, I could no longer see your destiny clearly."
"Your opportunities must be far greater than mine; my mortal eyes cannot see through that fog."
"So, Xiaoxi, you must follow your heart and keep going. You have a future that is even brighter than your master's."
I was a little confused. I don't think my achievements can surpass my master's.
Because in my heart, my master is my last safe haven, and he can be my last support when I am powerless.
