Chapter Forty-Nine
All night long, Xu Weiwei barely slept in her room, managing only an hour at most. She arrived at the recording studio very early to wait, and the production crew thoughtfully provided her with spare keys so she could open the door herself.
To her surprise, the second person to arrive was Lin Xiangshen, who immediately locked the door after entering. He slowly walked towards Xu Weiwei and said, "Miss, or rather, old classmate whom I haven't seen in a long time, we've met so many times, yet you still don't take the initiative to greet me. Isn't that a bit too impolite of you?"
Xu Weiwei was very excited and said, "You...you...you actually still remember me."
Lin Xiangshen shook his head and said, "I'm not stupid. You peeked at me many times in high school. Besides, I might not be as eager to do good deeds as you think."
I don't really like to use force myself. Besides, I think boys are tougher than girls, and girls should be protected more.
For you, I hit a girl for the first time in my life. Tell me, how could I not remember you? Is that realistic?
Xu Weiwei was a little at a loss, clutching the hem of her clothes and saying, "I thought you had forgotten me long ago, after all, you haven't talked to me since you saved me that time."
Also, I look very different now than I did back then. I thought you wouldn't remember me or recognize me, but I didn't expect you to remember me! I'm so happy!
Lin Xiangshen said helplessly, "Miss, I'm not an old man in my seventies or eighties. I still remember this little thing very clearly. Besides, Miss, your face hasn't changed at all."
Xu Weiwei said excitedly, "I'm really happy, really, especially happy. I didn't expect this result to be so good."
Lin Xiangshen said, rather speechless, "I just know you and remember you, and you're this happy? If I said I liked you, would you faint from happiness? I'm curious."
"Miss, you're so dense. I've hinted at my feelings for you so many times, but you just don't get it. I have to take the initiative and be very direct with you."
Xu Weiwei was startled and said, "You like me? Really? Is this really true? Am I dreaming? You, you, I, I, I..."
Lin Xiangshen snorted coldly and said, "Miss, you're really not smart. You've been deliberately peeking at me many times. You don't really think I can't tell, do you?"
I'm not stupid. I originally wanted to guide you to confess your feelings to me. I even deliberately looked back at you, slowed down my pace, and deliberately created the opportunity to bump into you.
"I've done so much, can't you even tell? I'm not that picky; I wouldn't have done all this if I didn't like you."
Xu Weiwei explained, "I have noticed all of these things, but I thought I was overthinking it. After all, I'm so bad, you probably forgot about me a long time ago, and you wouldn't like me."
Lin Xiangshen said seriously, "Miss, why would you think that way? You are very good, be more confident. Besides, do you think I am a person with poor judgment?"
Over the years, I've met many girls, but I haven't chosen to be with any of them because I only plan to have one relationship in my life.
"Cast a wide net and catch many fish; only by meeting many people can I determine who I truly like. And now, I'm certain: I've fallen in love with you. Will you be my girlfriend?"
Xu Weiwei smiled sweetly and said, "I'm willing, Mr. Peacock."
Lin Xiangshen tilted his head and said, "Huh? What's going on? Miss Hedgehog, you even gave me a nickname?"
When Xu Weiwei gets anxious, she's prone to saying the wrong thing. She stammered, "Well, I, I didn't mean to. Anyway, it's all your fault. Who told you to give me a nickname first?"
Lin Xiangshen chuckled and said, "Hmm? Miss Hedgehog, what do you mean by that? When did I give you a nickname? I didn't know that."
You can't wrongly accuse an innocent person. I won't accept that. Just because you're my girlfriend doesn't mean you can bully me. I won't shirk responsibility for something I didn't do.
Xu Weiwei wasn't very confident at first, but the thought that this person was her boyfriend instantly gave her confidence. She said, "Mr. Peacock, this is your fault. You called me 'Miss' first. My name is Xu Weiwei. Why didn't you call me Weiwei? Why did you call me 'Miss'?"
Since you call me "Miss," why can't I call you "Sir"? I'm just learning from you. Besides, you're a top student, and I'm a poor student, so of course I want to learn something good from you.
Lin Xiangshen smiled and said, "Miss Hedgehog, there is still a big difference between Miss and Mr. Peacock. Miss is a term that can be used to address someone. A polite and courteous gentleman would address a woman of similar age as Miss. This is a matter of basic respect."
"And this 'Mr. Peacock' is a specific term, and as for your title, I can clearly sense your sarcasm. Anyway, 'peacock' isn't a good word, and you haven't said anything nice about me."
Xu Weiwei said somewhat guiltily, "Well, I just said it offhand. Besides, you are one, just like a peacock. Why do you love to show off your feathers so much? So many girls have confessed to you. Do you think I don't mind at all?"
Lin Xiangshen's eyes darted around, and he also seemed a little guilty. He said, "Let's not talk about the past. Anyway, don't worry, with you by my side, I will definitely keep my distance from other women and won't make things difficult for you or make you jealous."
Xu Weiwei felt sweet inside, but deliberately didn't smile. She said with a straight face, "You had better be true to your word and not disappoint me."
Lin Xiangshen said earnestly, "Don't worry, I won't let you down. I mean everything I say and I won't break my word."
Oh, right, there's no time like the present, Miss Xu Weiwei, would you like to marry me? I want to marry you. I've already decided on you for life, and I won't change my mind.
"We're going to get married sooner or later anyway, so we might as well do it sooner. We've already missed so many years; I don't want to miss out again."
Xu Weiwei nodded and said, "I am willing, Mr. Lin Xiangshen, I am willing to become your wife."
Lin Xiangshen held Xu Weiwei's hand and said with a smile, "Then come with me. We'll go back to my house now, and I'll take you to get your household registration book. We'll get our marriage certificate then. It just so happens that today is a workday, so we can get the certificate. Let's go to my house first to get my household registration book, and then go to your house to get yours, okay?"
Xu Weiwei nodded and said, "Okay."
Xu Weiwei sat in the passenger seat of the car. Lin Xiangshen had dismissed the driver and chosen to drive himself. She couldn't help but share the good news with Li Nan.
"I'm getting married! We're going to get our marriage certificate soon."
Li Nan replied: "???"
Xu Weiwei: "Oh dear, you know my fiancé, Lin Xiangshen. There's no way around it, he loves me too much. He came as soon as I arrived this morning."
And then, do you know what happened? He confessed his feelings to me. Yes, he confessed to me first, saying he liked me. Wow, he likes me!
What could I do? He asked me if I would be his girlfriend, and of course I did. Later, he said he would only ever love me and would never change his mind.
They asked me if I would marry him? Well, I actually think it's a bit sudden. A whirlwind marriage is too impulsive. Marriage is a big deal, so I need to think it through carefully.
But he really wants me to marry him; there's no way around it, he saved me back then. He was indeed a womanizer in high school, and that's when he attracted me, this little butterfly.
But isn't this normal? After all, he's so outstanding. I really felt that I couldn't bear to see such a good man sad, so in the end, I had no choice but to agree to marry him.
He's taking me to his house to get his household registration booklet, and then to get mine. We're going to get our marriage certificate today. I have to say, all of this is happening so fast and so suddenly.
Honestly, I thought I was dreaming, but when I pinched my cheek, it hurt. I'm sure I wasn't dreaming; this really happened.
There was no other way; I love him so much, of course I had to agree to his request. I couldn't bear to see him sad.
Li Nan: "...I can see your smug face even through the screen. Don't forget who came to my room crying and babbling yesterday."
Now that you've got your back straight, you're coming to me to show off. Well, it's all my fault for not liking to record things, otherwise I would have played back what you said yesterday for you.
I want you to know that the difference in your appearance and demeanor before and after is truly significant; anyone who has had even a little contact with you can sense it.
Xu Weiwei: "Don't put it so harshly, okay? Didn't you say you wanted to be friends with me? Now, I agree to your proposal."
I'm willing to be your friend, but of course, my best friend, as you know, is Lin Xiangshen. You can only be my second best friend.
If you really mind this, then let's maintain the status quo and not be friends; let's continue being strangers.
Li Nan: "Fine, I won't be picky. The second best is fine. Anyway, I'd rather be your friend than a stranger. But I'm curious, why did you suddenly change your mind? What made you change your mind?"
Xu Weiwei: "Well, uh... to be honest, you can't hit me. There are several reasons, but essentially, it's related to Lin Xiangshen."
First, you blessed me yesterday, and I feel that I can be with Lin Xiangshen today because of your blessing. Second, Lin Xiangshen and I are getting married, and I want to ask you more about your parents, learn from their successful experience, and improve myself.
Finally, I want you to be my strategist in this relationship. If Lin Xiangshen and I ever have an irreconcilable conflict, you can offer me advice.
Li Nan: "You're so pragmatic. You're willing to be my friend now that I'm useful. Fine, I guess I owe you. I admit it. Who told me to be the one to say I wanted you to be my friend first? It's my fault, not yours."
