Zhang Jirang
The next morning, after having breakfast, Xu Chuwan sat on the sofa and idly scrolled through her WeChat Moments. She came across a post from Zhang Jiye, which read: "This kid is getting married this Saturday. He's even faster than me."
Xu Chuwan clicked on the picture, and what caught her eye was a marriage certificate of a man and a woman.
Who is this person?
"A-Ye, come here for a second."
Zhang Jirang walked over from the dining table and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Who is this person?" Xu Chuwan pointed to the man in the photo.
“Hi, that’s my brother, Zhang Jirang. He’s getting married this week,” Zhang Jiye replied.
He's getting married this week.
“Your brother looks a lot like you,” Xu Chuwan praised.
"So, who's more handsome, him or me?"
"..."
"Do you...do you want to hear the truth or a lie?" Xu Chuwan asked, somewhat embarrassed.
"truth."
"You...your brother, right?" Xu Chuwan managed to finish her sentence with difficulty.
"..."
"Why?" Zhang Jiye asked, dissatisfied.
"Because I think your brother is... a bit fairer than you."
"He's just paler than me?"
Xu Chuwan gave a soft "hmm" and then nodded.
"Fine, Xu Chuwan, you actually think a stranger is more handsome than me?" Zhang Jiye complained pitifully.
"..."
Xu Chuwan started to coax him, but Zhang Jiye's face clearly showed that he couldn't be coaxed.
After coaxing her for a while, Xu Chuwan had no choice but to use her ultimate move, saying, "Boyfriend?"
Zhang Jiye finally reacted: "What?"
Xu Chuwan suppressed a laugh and continued, "Don't be angry, okay?"
"Fine, I'll reluctantly forgive you," Zhang Jiye said mercifully.
"..."
"By the way, this Saturday is this kid's wedding, are you going?" Zhang Jiye asked after a long pause.
"Me?" Xu Chuwan pointed to herself.
“Yes.” Zhang Jiye nodded.
“I’m free, sure,” Xu Chuwan said.
"Okay. By the way, this kid's girlfriend, who is also my sister-in-law, knows I have a girlfriend tomorrow, so she wants to meet you. It's like a gathering of the four of us. Do you have time?" Zhang Jiye remembered the matter that Zhang Jirang had asked him to do.
“Sure, I’d like to meet your brother’s girlfriend too,” Xu Chuwan said with a smile.
"Then I'll pick you up at your company gate after you get off work tomorrow."
Xu Chuwan hummed in agreement.
The next day, after Xu Chuwan finished work, she looked towards the company entrance and saw Zhang Jiye standing there.
Xu Chuwan jogged towards Zhang Jiye, who smiled.
Zhang Jiye patted her head: "Next time you see me, you don't need to run over, because it will only be me running towards you."
Why?
“Because you are a princess, and I am the knight who protects the princess,” Zhang Jiye said, enunciating each word clearly.
Xu Chuwan smiled and added, "I think you should be the prince who protects the princess."
The prince will always instinctively protect the princess and prevent her from getting hurt.
The prince would smile and say to the princess, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Perhaps even seventeen-year-old Xu Chuwan never imagined that while she liked Zhang Jiye, he also liked her.
Unrequited love in adolescence is always bittersweet, but thankfully, everything will eventually turn out well.
Thinking of this, Xu Chuwan held Zhang Jiye's hand tightly, afraid that all of this was just a dream.
"Okay, if you say I'm a prince, then I am a prince."
Xu Chuwan was amused by his words and asked him with a smile, "What I say is what it is?"
“Yes, you are my little teacher, and students should listen to their teachers,” Zhang Jiye answered her question in a low voice.
After they got into the car, Zhang Jiye drove to their destination and said, "Get out of the car, we've arrived."
Xu Chuwan opened the car door and got out.
What comes into view is a barbecue restaurant.
“My brother said he’s treating us to dinner. They’re inside. Let’s go in, Wanwan.”
"Mmm," Xu Chuwan replied with a soft "Mmm."
Upon entering the barbecue restaurant, Zhang Jiye was about to see where Zhang Jirang was sitting when he first heard Zhang Jirang call out to him, "Brother! Over here."
Zhang Jiye looked up towards the source of the sound and saw that it really was Zhang Jirang.
Zhang Jiye pointed in the direction and said, "They're over there, let's go."
When Xu Chuwan walked to the roadside table, she saw that there was a girl sitting next to Zhang Jirang, whom Zhang Jiye had mentioned. She must be Zhang Jirang's girlfriend.
This girl was born with a pure and innocent look, a baby face about the size of a palm, and very fair skin.
Although her appearance isn't particularly aggressive, she has the overall look of a female protagonist from a novel.
The girl spotted Xu Chuwan first and greeted her with a smile, "Hello, sister."
The girl's eyes crinkled when she smiled, as if she had some hidden treasure in them, like an adorable little kitten.
She clearly has a very lively personality.
Xu Chuwan smiled at her and said, "Hello, my name is Xu Chuwan."
"My name is Jiang Anchu. From now on, we're family," Jiang Anchu said with a smile.
Xu Chuwan smiled.
family
Are they a very harmonious family?
"Sister Chu Wan, I've noticed you look like a celebrity! You're absolutely stunning!" Jiang Anchu exclaimed.
“You’re pretty too, and kind of cute,” Xu Chu said, trying to salvage the situation.
Jiang Anchu continued talking to Xu Chuwan for a long time, and Zhang Jiye couldn't help but interrupt, "Hey, when are you going to finish?"
"What's wrong?" Jiang Anchu asked, displeased.
"You took my people away, what am I supposed to do?" Zhang Jiye said with a hint of grievance, his face clearly showing his dissatisfaction.
“Then go sit with Zhang Jirang,” Jiang Anchu replied immediately.
"..."
"On what grounds?"
"Mind your own business! Why don't you go ask Sister Chu Wan who she wants to sit with?!"
"..."
Zhang Jiyue looked at Xu Chuwan with a pitiful expression and asked, "Chuwan, do you want to sit with her or with me?"
“Hmm… her,” Xu Chuwan said with difficulty.
"..."
Zhang Jiye had no choice but to reluctantly sit with Zhang Jirang.
Two pitiful people who were abandoned by their wives.
So pitiful.
"By the way, Sister Chu Wan, you can call me Chu Chu or An Chu from now on."
"good."
"Sister Chuwan, we haven't added each other on WeChat yet. Can you open your WeChat QR code and I'll scan it?"
Xu Chuwan opened the WeChat QR code, and Jiang Anchu scanned it.
"Alright, Sister Chu Wan. Just give your approval."
Xu Chuwan accepted Jiang Anchu's friend request.
"Sister Chu Wan, Zhang Jirang and I are getting married this Sunday. Are you coming?"
"Sure, that's great." Xu Chuwan sincerely wished Jiang Anchu well.
“It’s really good.” Jiang Anchu smiled.
Jiang Anchu and Zhang Jirang are finally ending their four-year relationship, as she is about to marry him.
