The setting sun casts its rays upon the mountains and forests, where two figures stand side by side.
The warm breeze was intoxicating, and the tender feelings filled the air. Xu Qi felt that this young man was getting off too easily.
We can't let him succeed so easily.
Grandma once said that things that are easily obtained are not cherished!
But these days, dating isn't fashionable; most people get married as soon as they see each other.
Otherwise, wouldn't that be playing with other people's feelings?
For men, it's about manipulating women.
Does that mean a woman is promiscuous?
Once someone accuses you of this crime, you can forget about ever living a life of self-respect and dignity.
This is the concept of marriage that the times have given us.
When it came to Xu Qi, her father was critically injured and she insisted on marrying a pale-faced scholar on the road to fulfill her father's last wish.
That's just how it is; people look down on the foolish things that only people from the village would do.
Now, Xu Qi is facing another major life decision. Faced with the rules of the times and remembering her grandmother's teachings and insights, she really doesn't know how to face Zheng Ya's marriage proposal.
Zheng Ya noticed her hesitant expression, picked up the six tied-up rabbits, and said, "Let's go, let's go down the mountain and talk as we walk?"
"What else do you want to say?" Xu Qi suppressed her embarrassment and followed him down the mountain, her heart filled with a chaotic mix of emotions.
What if the young man suddenly changes his mind?
Agreeing right away feels too easy, too readily handing myself over to a man I've known for less than a day—it makes me uneasy!
Is this pre-wedding jitters?
Did she really not have this feeling when she got married last time?
Different circumstances lead to different feelings and states of mind for different people.
Is this what they call love?
The taste of love!
My previous marriage left me feeling nothing; it was as bland and tasteless as drinking plain water, purely a formality.
This sudden stimulation felt like the other person had ignited my heart and mind, causing my blood to rush and making it hard to calm down!
Having experienced the nourishing sensations of love for the first time, Xu Qi was somewhat infatuated and unsure of what to do.
Zheng Ya was no better off than her. On the surface, she was very calm, but relying on her extensive experience from three lifetimes, she adhered to the principle that to pursue a woman, one must be shameless. She forced herself to communicate with Xu Qi: "You said it yourself, you're too good to be true."
You are beautiful, I am beautiful, we have everything we need, holding hands brings joy, and supporting each other through thick and thin will forge a legend...
"Pah, you're all just spouting nonsense, you can even make up rhymes."
"To be honest, have you lied to a lot of girls?" Xu Qi was overjoyed by his words and asked him with a delighted smile.
Why does he sound like a womanizer?
With such a silver tongue, you must have honed your skills by charming and seducing girls, right?
Surely they can't all be naturally quick-witted?
It has to be said that women say one thing and mean another.
A single insincere remark made Zheng Ya break out in a cold sweat. Quick-thinking, he laughed and said, "You're really wrong about that!"
As the old saying goes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
When we hit it off, it naturally sparked topics deep within our hearts, as if we owed each other something in a past life. When we met again, the topics we hadn't finished talking about in the last life came to mind.
Or perhaps it's a regret from a past life that's being expressed?
Only in this way can we avoid regrets, don't you think?
"Hmph, you're really good with words?" Xu Qi was stunned by his words, and had a sudden realization.
But reason told her that this guy was just talking nonsense.
They make it sound so real, creating a story of a love affair spanning two lifetimes, a continuation of their past life's romance!
Having said all that, she really couldn't refute it.
Her heart fluttered with joy at someone's words, her blood surged through her body, a warm, restless sensation arose, and a sweet feeling lingered in her throat, filling her soul, almost making her drunk.
The taste of love is truly intoxicating!
Zheng Ya seized the opportunity: "Oh, you remembered!"
That's good, let's hurry down the mountain and get our marriage certificate..."
"Hey, you deliberately set a trap for me. I won't agree to this without your sincere intentions!" Xu Qi stomped her foot and followed up, wanting him to keep coaxing her.
Lost in the blissful feeling of love, never wanting to wake up?
Zheng Ya, unaware of her greed, blurted out, "Sincerity is not enough!"
Our relationship cannot be measured in two lifetimes.
Multiplication is punishment; it's better to do without it.
Our love is based on only one intention: heartfelt affection, true and pure destiny, a union made in heaven, a pair of lovebirds, sharing joys and sorrows…
"Hehe, you're so eloquent, look how capable you are!" Xu Qi was amused by him, her face flushed with laughter, which diminished all the negative effects.
In that instant, I felt the exhilarating sensation of soaring upwards.
It has a quality that seems to be ascending to immortality while being intoxicated by the nourishment of love.
If you're thick-skinned and can make your loved one happy, everything else is fine!
Holding this online joke, Zheng Ya said, "Isn't my ability a catalyst for this?"
"Pah, that's a bit indecent. Be honest, were you thinking anything when you said that?" Xu Qi wanted to make things difficult for him and test his sincerity.
Afraid of being scammed?
These days, there are plenty of people who commit marriage fraud.
While this statement is not absolute, half of unhappy marriages stem from arranged marriages, which often result in significant post-marital conflicts. Deep-rooted societal values of male superiority and the belief in marriage and childbirth to continue the family line lead to women being treated as mere tools after marriage, hence the term "marriage fraud."
This is the greatest tragedy for women of our time.
For Xu Qi, this issue was somewhat unsettling, as she truly experienced the feeling of pre-wedding jitters affecting her mind and body.
After all, she couldn't beat Zheng Ya, and if she were to be abused by him after marriage, she would be powerless to resist!
This is in stark contrast to her ignoring the group of unmarried men in Xujiazhuang.
As the saying goes, once you've seen it too much, you naturally apply it to yourself, which can lead to a sense of panic.
Zheng Ya, completely unaware of the situation, raised her hand in denial: "You're the one who's thinking the wrong thing!"
Don't overthink it.
Once we get our marriage certificate, we can go home and do whatever you want with us…
"Hmph, you've already said something like that, and you still say you didn't have any dirty thoughts? You're just lying, aren't you?" Xu Qi blushed deeply, embarrassed by his lecture.
It seems I really did misunderstand, how embarrassing!
Women are unreasonable!
Zheng Ya experienced for the first time the awkward way women say one thing but mean another, and replied under pressure: "Sigh, it seems I can't hide anything from you."
You've been deceived by me for countless lifetimes in your marriage, and now you've finally woken up?
I just don't understand. We've been through countless lifetimes together, haven't you fully accepted my sincere heart yet?
"Oh my, you're really going to take it easy now. It's not as far-fetched as you make it out to be. Who would have married you for countless lifetimes..." Xu Qi was completely speechless. This man was really good with words.
The story was so exciting that it left everyone feeling anxious, but in the end, it was all sweetness, so sweet it was almost unbearable!
Zheng Ya laughed: "See, you admit it, you want to be with me for countless lifetimes, hahaha."
