Proposal (Twenty-two)
It was obvious that Wang Yue had been holding it in for a long time, and today he finally caught Ruan Qi and gave her a scolding.
Ruan Qi was indeed short of breath about this matter.
She listened to Wang Yue's scolding with her eyes wide open for a long time. After a while, she spoke dryly: "I, I'm afraid of delaying your college entrance examination. Besides, the high school you two attend doesn't allow mobile phones, so I can't contact you..."
The reason was considerate, but Wang Yue refused to accept it.
"Can't you just text us if you can't contact us? We can go home for vacation at the end of the month and check our phones. Forget it, don't explain, Ruan Xiaohua, you just don't have a heart!"
After being with Xi Jiu, Ruan Qi did think about telling Wang Yue and Xiao Ya about her relationship many times.
Ruan Qi looked at Wang Yue speechlessly, his expression indescribable. "Wang Ergou, the Qing Dynasty fell a long time ago. Did the college entrance examination make you stupid?"
"Ah...Brother Xi, you haven't left yet."
He uttered a dumbfounded 'ah' and said, "You're right. It seems the person who could make you suffer hasn't been born yet. But, but even if the Xi family is nice, your fiancé has been pampered since childhood and has a cold personality. Will he lower himself to take care of you? You love to play so much, but he can't even catch a fish."
Wang Yue's eyes suddenly drifted away: "How do you know?"
After all, Wang Yue was still worried that Xi Jiu's family background was too high and his personality was too cold, and that he would not be good to Ruan Qi.
Xi Jiu replied "OK", turned around and left with Nie Heng.
Wang Yue: "But the Xi family..."
Every word he said seemed to be expressing his disapproval of Ruan Qi for falling in love too early and for hanging herself on a tree.
When Wang Yue heard Ruan Qi's words, he was stunned.
But at that time, the Cheng family had not yet fallen, Jiang Chunian and the X organization were very active, and coupled with his own uncertain fate, Ruan Qi was too busy to spare any time, so he forgot about this matter.
As a recent high school graduate, Wang Yue lacked the knowledge and experience of Ruan Munan and Cheng Jinyan. In his youthful and limited worldview, Wang Yue believed that dating should be like him and Xiaoya, or the other classmates who had fallen in love prematurely: sharing the same age, topics, and youth.
"How is that possible! Even if Xiaoya becomes an old woman with wrinkles all over her face, I still love her the most! But, but our situations are different. Xiaoya and I are childhood sweethearts and have a deep emotional foundation. But you and him... He comes from such a wealthy family, what if he makes you feel wronged? Besides, that man looks cold and indifferent, like a fool who can't coax anyone. If you quarrel with him in the future, won't he use cold violence against you?"
Seeing that he was about to burst into tears, Ruan Qi quickly interrupted his wild thoughts.
"Ruan Xiaohua, those wealthy families have so many rules. You've been accustomed to being wild since you were a child. What if a wicked mother-in-law sets some rules for you? Maybe on your first day of marriage, they'll make you stand at the door early in the morning and kneel down to offer tea to the elders. If I want to see you again in the future, I'll have to report to the Xi family in advance, and it might take a year or two before I can see you through the big iron gate."
"You're a girl, and you're going it alone to pursue a career in the entertainment industry. The entertainment industry is so complicated, what if you get scammed? Aren't there always rumors about beautiful female celebrities being scammed and swindled by older sponsors?"
Wang Yue shuddered under Ruan Qi's gaze, his neck stiffening as he said stubbornly, "I don't understand what you're saying. I'm just speaking from ear to ear. You're so young, you should have more choices. That Mr. Xi... Mr. Xi is too old."
In these dramas, the heroines are all grassroots, without connections or backing. To be with the wealthy male protagonists, they face all sorts of hardships, from misunderstandings and infidelity to having their kidneys and hearts removed and forced to donate blood. In short, each production is filled with outrageous melodrama, leaving Wang Yue shuddering and wanting to call the police on the scene to have all these characters arrested.
Since learning that Ruan Qi was in love, he had indeed watched a lot of TV dramas about wealthy families.
Xi Jiu: "..."
Xi Jiu:?
"And about the matter of dating. Xiaoya and I aren't forbidding you from dating, but you haven't even been to school much, and the only men you've had access to are Uncle Ruan and Brother Nan. The men in the Ruan family are all good, but not all men in the world are as good as Uncle Ruan and his friends. Especially those handsome and wealthy young men, their lives are such a mess, you can't afford to mess with them."
Xi Jiu repeated to himself, "Don't kill people," three times before speaking calmly, "I'm not leaving. I'm still here. Mr. Wang has good eloquence. You could consider pursuing a career in crosstalk."
When Wang Yue thought of Ruan Qi's temper and fighting ability, his thoughts, which had reached a dead end, finally turned around.
Wang Yue once again became worried about Xi Jiu's cold personality.
Ruan Qi, who had been standing silently by the side, immediately arched her eyebrows and said to him with a smile, "Okay. You need buckets to catch fish. Jiujiu, you and Xiaogouzi go home and get two buckets. I'll wait for you here."
And when he thought about the noble status of Ruan Qi's boyfriend, Wang Yue had nightmares every night.
That’s not right. This is different from the wealthy families he knows.
"Wang Ergou, I didn't realize you had such a wild imagination. You've been watching a lot of melodramatic TV shows lately, haven't you?"
Ruan Qi looked at him in a daze, and after a moment, she suddenly laughed.
Xi Jiu:? ? ?
Wang Yue was indeed criticizing Ruan Qi bitterly at the beginning, but as the criticism went on, things started to get a little weird.
"But, but many female celebrities in the entertainment industry are asked by their in-laws to retire from the entertainment industry after marrying into wealthy families..."
He had a fierce face, and even his buzz cut hair was full of displeasure.
Xi Jiu looked at him calmly, walked over and took Ruan Qi's hand.
Xi Jiu:? ?
Wang Yue angrily criticized Ruan Qi. Xi Jiu, feeling sorry for his fiancée, wanted to offer some advice, but he was concerned about Wang Yue being Ruan Qi's childhood friend, and he didn't know how to strike the right balance.
Ruan Qi helplessly interrupted him: "With my temper, who would dare to make me retire from the entertainment industry? All my martial arts training was in vain? Are my parents and master just decorations?"
"The Xi family...are they so kind? They don't even require their daughter-in-law to serve the elders?"
Wang Yue, who was about to take Ruan Qi to meet more people of the opposite sex, suddenly lost his voice.
At this time, only Cheng Jinyan, Ruan Munan, Ruan Qi and Wang Yue were left by the river.
Seeing that Wang Yue had already begun to persuade Ruan Qi "Why have you been in love with a single flower", Xi Jiu, who was listening on the side, could no longer bear it.
"Baby, aren't you going to teach me how to fish? Do you want to start now?"
Wang Yue understood Xi Jiu's voiceover and his face turned pale. But he didn't think he was wrong. Ruan Xiaohua was still so young, and from her family's perspective, he felt that no man in the world was worthy of her. So, what was wrong with asking her to choose more?
Wang Yue was not in the right but was very confident. He stood beside Ruan Qi with his neck stiff, staring straight at Xi Jiu.
At that time, she did want to contact Wang Yue and Xiao Ya, but they were about to take the college entrance examination, and Ruan Qi did not dare to disturb them with matters such as love.
"Senior sister, my brother-in-law and I brought the dagger!"
Ruan Qi turned around when he heard that.
Helplessly, he could only stand aside and wait for an opportunity to interrupt. But as he waited, Xi Jiu realized that something was not right with what Wang Yue said...
Ruan Qi didn't expect him to think so much. She shook her head and was about to answer when Nie Heng's cheerful and crisp voice suddenly came.
Wang Yue immediately jumped up as if his tail was stepped on.
So, this matter has been delayed until now, and then Wang Yue accurately caught the weakness of the matter.
For Wang Yue, people like Xi Jiu were simply too far away. For a student who had just graduated from high school, the elites in society represented high-end status, but also meant danger.
"Of course, I believe in your judgment. Although you're young, you're the smartest person in the village. With your intelligence, you shouldn't be fooled. So the man you're attracted to must be very good, and not some promiscuous playboy. But! But Ruan Xiaohua, how old are you? You're not even twenty-two this year! At such a prime age, you have the heart to give up a vast forest and hang yourself on a crooked tree?!"
"Wang Ergou, you did this on purpose, didn't you? Why did you say those things in front of Jiujiu?"
Wang Yue: "He is seven years older than you!"
"I'd still like her even if she's seventeen years older." Seeing Wang Yue's disapproval, Ruan Qi used Xiao Ya as an example, "If Xiao Ya was seven years older than you, would you not like her?"
The implication is that everything you just said is a joke.
Wang Yue didn't want his childhood sweetheart to be with such a dangerous man.
If this guy wasn't Ruan Qi's childhood friend, he would have pushed the kid's head into the water and let him drink until he was full.
The more Wang Yue spoke, the more uncomfortable he felt, as if he had witnessed Ruan Qi's life being harshly bullied by the Xi family.
Ruan Qi looked at Xi Jiu's back as he walked away. After a moment, she turned her head and gave Wang Yue a meaningful look.
He walked over, coughed hard, and called out "baby" to Ruan Qi.
Ruan Qi: “…”
"The Xi family is very good. Jiujiu's parents treat me like their own daughter. No one has ever made me stand, nor has anyone ever made me kneel down to serve tea. And after Jiujiu and I get married, we will live in the courtyard house next door to mine. We won't live with the elders on either side."
"What's wrong with being old?" Ruan Qi didn't like people discussing Xi Jiu's age, and her thin eyebrows furrowed. "Age makes people more vulnerable. And Jiujiu is only 28 years old this year, not even thirty years old yet, so how can she be considered old?"
"Wang Ergou, please control your imagination. I will never live as miserable as you say."
Later, all the enemies fell, Ruan Qi woke up from her coma, and finally made her relationship with Xi Jiu public.
He belatedly realized that Xi Jiu, the person involved, was still present, and a look of embarrassment suddenly appeared on his face.
Xi Jiu and Nie Heng were each carrying two buckets and wading through the river towards this side.
Xi Jiu, who was walking in front, glanced at Wang Yue as he walked. His handsome eyebrows raised provocatively, and he said calmly, "I really don't know how to fish, but I can learn. When I learn it, Mr. Wang, would you like to compete with me? The loser must unconditionally agree to one request from the winner."
Here we come!
