Xu Yizhou looked at Luo Yingzi with deep eyes.
His gaze grew increasingly serious and earnest.
His serious expression frightened Luo Yingzi, who instinctively shrank back. "Xu Yizhou, what... what are you going to do? Talk to me properly!"
"Don't worry, even if I find out your secret that you don't like women, I will never tell anyone," Luo Yingzi quickly assured her.
When she heard Xu Yizhou say that, she for some reason thought of her grandmother chatting with the older women in the village. She heard her grandmother talk about a man in the next village who didn't like women, but he still married a wife so as not to be gossiped about.
After the man tricked his wife into giving birth to their son, he even brought his lover home to live with them, making his wife serve the two men.
In the end, the villagers couldn't stand it anymore and reported the man and his lover. They were both sent to labor camps, and his wife's life became a little easier.
When Luo Yingzi heard her grandmother and the others talk about this, she felt a chill run down her spine.
However, Xu Yizhou had made it clear to her that their marriage was a sham and that they would live separate lives afterward, so she shouldn't do anything as despicable as that man.
Now it was Xu Yizhou's turn to be speechless.
He was just worried that Luo Yingzi was indecisive and might be tricked by other men while she was still wavering.
The plan is to first coax someone into marriage, and then slowly cultivate feelings for them.
How did it come to the point where people suspect he doesn't like women?
He's not a rabbit god, so how could he possibly like men?
"Luo Yingzi!"
Xu Yizhou called out Luo Yingzi's full name with particular seriousness.
Looking at him like this, Luo Yingzi felt that he was furious because she had discovered his true purpose.
Startled, she instinctively took several steps back until she was pressed against the wall with nowhere left to retreat.
"You...you..."
Luo Yingzi was about to tell Xu Yizhou not to come over.
The next instant, Xu Yizhou had already braced one arm against the wall behind her.
Xu Yizhou stared intently into Luo Yingzi's eyes through his glasses.
The distance between the two closed, and they could almost hear each other's breath.
Luo Yingzi's heart was pounding with nervousness. "What...what are you going to do?"
"Luo Yingzi, let me tell you, I not only like women. But the woman I like is you!" Xu Yizhou said through gritted teeth.
He hadn't originally intended to be so blunt.
But this woman is like she's missing a screw in her head. He even went home with her to pay New Year's visits, but she couldn't feel his sincerity and even suspected that he was a rabbit god.
Uncle can tolerate it, but Aunt can't tolerate it either!
Luo Yingzi was stunned. It took her a long time to come to her senses. "What...what do you like about me?"
Xu Yizhou:......
He frowned slightly, his eyes gradually darkening.
He didn't know what he liked about Luo Yingzi.
Initially, because this woman questioned his medical skills, he and she didn't get along at all, and they would argue every time they met.
He even felt annoyed just seeing her and just wanted to get her hand healed quickly so he wouldn't have to see her anymore.
But later, when her hand healed, he really didn't need to see her anymore, and he felt bored with life again, missing the times when they used to bicker.
So I often come to the store to buy clothes.
Even though he knew she had ulterior motives and was always pushing some of the store's slow-selling clothes on him, he gladly accepted them. Now, he has completely changed his style because of the clothes she recommended.
Xu Yizhou thought for a long time, then said sullenly, "I like that you can argue with me, and I like that you trick me."
Upon hearing this, Luo Yingzi immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
She raised her hand and patted Xu Yizhou's shoulder. "Oh, so you have masochistic tendencies! I get it."
"If that's the case, then we can really get together, because I'm quite happy when I'm scolding you and tricking you."
Luo Yingzi chuckled happily.
If Xu Yizhou were to spout nonsense like he liked her for being gentle, generous, and beautiful, she would definitely kick him out of the room, because she knew her place.
But now she agrees with the reasons Xu Yizhou gave.
And thinking about it, she realized that she did feel quite happy every time she scolded or tricked Xu Yizhou.
Xu Yizhou's face darkened when he heard the first sentence, but before he could explode, he heard Luo Yingzi's next sentence.
The gloom on his face instantly turned into joy.
As soon as Luo Yingzi finished speaking, she suddenly felt a soft touch on her face.
She stared wide-eyed at Xu Yizhou, who was grinning like a fool.
Realizing what had happened, she immediately blushed.
She subconsciously raised her hand and punched Xu Yizhou in the chest, glaring at him, "You pervert!"
Xu Yizhou chuckled foolishly and grabbed her hand. "Comrade Luo Yingzi, a revolutionary comrade's word is his bond. You can't go back on your word once you've agreed to marry me!"
I'll call my parents later and ask them to come over to your house to propose marriage.
Then I'll go buy gifts, and I'll go to your house to explain things to your grandpa and parents. Once my parents arrive and both sides have met, we'll get our marriage certificate, have the wedding banquet, and get married!
Let's try to complete these procedures within half a month.
Hearing his words, Luo Yingzi's eyes widened in surprise. "So fast?"
Xu Yizhou said seriously, "It won't be soon. If it weren't for the fact that my parents are still in Shanghai and far away, I would have liked to marry you within three days."
Luo Yingzi couldn't help but roll her eyes at him, "You think this is a funeral? There are no taboos for three days, right?"
Xu Yizhou:......
downstairs.
Xu Yizhou and Luo Yingzi had just gone upstairs when Huo Beixiao arrived.
As soon as Huo Beixiao entered the store, he stepped forward and took Yang Qiaoqiao's hand, "Wife, are you hungry? Come on, let's go eat."
Yang Hongying's mischievous gaze fell on the two of them.
"Sigh!" Yang Hongying sighed with great emotion, "Qiaoqiao, you young people are always so lovey-dovey in front of this old woman. I'm starting to feel like I'm experiencing a second spring."
Yang Qiaoqiao wasn't someone who hadn't seen the world, so she immediately sent Huo Beixiao away and teased him back, "Sister-in-law, does your brother know you have such thoughts?"
Yang Hongying wasn't embarrassed at all, and said in a strong voice, "So what if I know? I'm earning my own living now. If he can't learn from your Beixiao and Dr. Xu and treat me better, I'll just replace him!"
Although people's thinking is still conservative in this day and age, their acceptance of divorce is much better than it was in the 1970s and early 1980s.
As more and more women have their own jobs and careers, more and more women are choosing to resist the oppression and torment from men and their in-laws.
Looking at Yang Hongying's proud and arrogant appearance, Yang Qiaoqiao gave her a thumbs up.
Women really need their own careers to stand tall.
