In the end, Yu Jiu was interrogated by the two women for two hours. Besides telling them that Xu Zijiang had eight-pack abs and a pair of firm and bouncy pectoral muscles, Yu Jiu almost told them that Xu Zijiang was more than eighteen centimeters tall.
The two single girls blushed as they listened, their smiles growing increasingly lewd.
Yu Jiu: I don't understand what young people are thinking these days! Did she become old just because she was reborn? But she didn't live more than them in her previous life!
What Yu Jiu couldn't understand was that Gouzi also came to ask her! He looked sneaky, as if he was quite embarrassed.
"Yu Zhiqing, may I ask you a rather personal question?"
Haha, you even know what privacy is? If you know, why are you asking?
"Go ahead and ask."
Yu Jiu stood with her hands on her hips, looking up at the sky with a lifeless expression, ready to hear what outrageous questions he might ask.
"Well, I'm a little curious about what it felt like for you and the captain to kiss. Don't call me a pervert! I'm definitely not! I asked the captain, and he told me to get lost, so I had no choice but to ask you. Yu Zhiqing, just tell me about it."
The captain's been laughing like he's possessed lately, it's giving me goosebumps. Is dating really that great? If it is, I'd like to date someone too.
The dog covered his mouth with his hand, making a megaphone shape. He was genuinely curious but also a little shy. Yu Jiu felt like she was struck by lightning. She was speechless for a long time before she finally spoke.
“Young man, I’m a female educated youth. Do you think it’s appropriate for you to ask me this question? Xu Zijiang told you to get lost. If he knew you were asking me this question, wouldn’t he tell you to get lost even further?”
Yu Jiu asked the question with utmost sincerity, staring intently at Gouzi's embarrassed face, as if she wanted to burn a hole through him.
"That's impossible!"
The dog proudly straightened its back and said with an air of righteousness.
“I usually treat the team leader like an older brother, like a father! And you, Yu Zhiqing, are like my older sister, like my mother! You are my elders, so what's wrong with me asking such a small question? As long as I don't act like a hooligan, it's not a big problem!”
He spoke with such conviction and conviction that Yu Jiu almost believed him, but she didn't want a son as big as Gouzi!
"Dog, what are you whispering to Yu Zhiqing about? And you're standing so close! Be careful the team leader doesn't punish you. If the team leader gets jealous, oh dear, Old Niu will go crazy and won't be able to hold him back!"
An older woman passing by chuckled and joked, using a rather vivid metaphor.
····
The crazed old ox, coupled with Xu Zijiang's image of being so angry that he was snorting, felt so vivid and lifelike, hahaha, Yu Jiu couldn't help but chuckle and secretly turned his head away to laugh.
"Oh no! I consider the team leader my father, and Yu Zhiqing my mother. He would never be jealous of me, let alone anyone else. We're like family!"
The dog said impatiently, wanting to send the passing auntie away.
"Pfft, you treat the team leader like your father and Yu Zhiqing like your mother, hahaha! I won't even mention whether the team leader and Yu Zhiqing are willing or not. Why don't you go back and ask your parents if they agree to you finding other parents outside? It's hilarious! Gouzi, you're probably going to get a beating when you get home!"
The aunt laughed even harder, and insisted on coming closer to listen to what Gouzi and Yu Jiu were going to say. Gouzi was too embarrassed to ask under her gaze, and left angrily.
Ugh, he was just asking a question, why are there so many obstacles?
Seeing the dog leave, the auntie asked Yu Jiu with amusement.
"Yu Zhiqing, what's Gouzi up to? That kid's always full of tricks."
"It seems he's looking for a wife. He asked if I knew any suitable women to introduce to him. Well, I don't know any, and you just happened to see us. He's probably embarrassed and annoyed. Auntie, if you know anyone suitable, remember to introduce one to Gouzi. I'm leaving now."
Yu Jiu patted the aunt on the shoulder and handed over this important task to her.
"Oh, looking for a wife? Sure, I happen to have a suitable girl on my side. She doesn't like my son, but I wonder if she'd be interested in Gouzi."
The aunt was quite generous; she immediately turned around and headed towards Gouzi's house, intending to introduce him to a good wife.
Dog never expected that just because he asked a question out of curiosity, he would be set up on a lot of blind dates.
····
Well, I wonder if I'll get beaten up if I say this. Actually, he doesn't want to be in a relationship yet. He just wants to experience what kissing feels like, and see if it makes him laugh as wildly as the captain. But if he kisses a girl on the lips without being in a relationship or getting married, he'll be considered a hooligan and a pervert, and sent to jail and executed. Sigh.
The dog thinks life is so hard!
In this sweltering summer, after being arranged to go on blind dates one after another, the day finally arrived for Yu Jiu and Xu Zijiang's engagement: August 28th. Two eights, eight eights means prosperity! Perhaps this is a sign that Yu Jiu and Xu Zijiang will become rich and live a prosperous life in the future!
Although it was just an engagement, Zhou Chunrong and Wen Hongjuan still came, representing Xu Zijiang's parents. The two of them, along with Xu Zijiang, carried the gifts and went to the educated youth settlement themselves.
“Yu Zhiqing, although I didn’t watch this child grow up, I’ve known him since he was fifteen, and it’s been ten or eight years now. He’s definitely a good person. Just look at the banners hanging in his house and at the police station. They’re all about his great achievements in saving people. Just for that, he’ll treat you well in the future!”
This boy is responsible, hardworking, and knows how to cherish his wife. You can relax and enjoy life from now on; life with Xu Zijiang won't be hard! Auntie won't say much more today. I hope you'll agree to the engagement today, and that after marriage you'll support each other and live a happy and harmonious life!
Wen Hongjuan held Yu Jiu's hand and said, her voice choked with emotion.
Xu Zijiang's journey to this point has not been smooth sailing; otherwise, he wouldn't have chosen to retire from the army with Zhou Chunrong. However, he is a resolute person, so he swallows his bitterness and tears and never speaks of them. He is also extremely sincere to others. Wen Hongjuan truly regards Xu Zijiang as her support, so she is particularly excited about his engagement today, just like a mother would.
"I agree. I'm willing to get engaged and marry Xu Zijiang. Sister Juan, aren't you being too nervous? Haven't we already agreed on everything?"
Yu Jiu was both amused and exasperated. How could Sister Juan be even more excited than her and Xu Zijiang! She took out two tissues and handed them to Wen Hongjuan to wipe her tears. Wen Hongjuan took the tissues and wiped her eyes shyly.
"I'm easily moved to tears; my tears start falling before I can even say anything. I hope you'll forgive me."
"It's alright, I know you're happy for me, sister-in-law."
Xu Zijiang was dressed exceptionally smartly today, and even styled his hair up like he had used hair wax, making him even more handsome. Moreover, he was wearing brand new clothes, which were neatly arranged. He walked with his head held high and chest out, looking dashing and incredibly handsome.
Even though Yu Jiu was used to seeing his face, she was still impressed by his handsome appearance today. It was mainly his spirit that was particularly positive and energetic, as if he could just grab a gun and go straight into battle.
Yu Jiu smiled gently, a tender smile curving her lips. Her eyebrows curved, her bright almond-shaped eyes drooped slightly, her long eyelashes also drooping obediently. Her delicate and upturned nose, her small and rosy lips, and her slightly lowered swan neck all struck Xu Zijiang's heart.
Today, Yu Jiu had her hair all pulled back, leaving only a few wisps that fell on either side of her face. She looked even more beautiful than before, with an added touch of maturity. She was simply stunning.
Xu Zijiang was so captivated by her porcelain-white, slender swan neck that he couldn't take his eyes off her, not to mention her face, which was adorned with rouge, making her breathtakingly beautiful.
Xu Zijiang's hawk-like eyes were filled with deep affection. How wonderful! They got engaged today, and they'll be married soon! Once he brings his little wife home, he can finally "bully" her mercilessly!
"Stop looking, you brat, come and exchange your birth charts."
