Xiao Mengjie was extremely anxious, and her shout came out like a gentle rain from the sky, instantly quenching Hu Zi's heart, which had been cooled to the extreme.
Tiger stared wide-eyed at Xiao Mengjie, his face full of surprise and joy, as if he couldn't believe what he was hearing.
"Really? Mengjie, are you serious?"
Tiger's voice trembled with excitement. He stared intently at Xiao Mengjie, afraid of missing any change in her expression.
At this moment, in front of so many people, it undoubtedly took immense courage for Xiao Mengjie to bravely shout "I do."
She was already blushing with embarrassment, her face as red as a ripe apple, her head lowered so low it was almost buried in her chest. After a long while, she finally managed to squeeze out a weak syllable.
";Um!";
However, this simple "hmm" sounded like heavenly music to Hu Zi, filling him with ecstatic joy.
He eagerly stepped forward and grabbed Xiao Mengjie's soft little hand as if he were holding the most precious treasure in the world.
At this moment, Tiger was so excited that he could hardly speak, and his words became incoherent.
After stammering for a long time, he finally managed to squeeze out a sentence.
"Mengjie, you...you're so kind!"
Tiger's honest and simple face flushed red with extreme joy.
Upon hearing this, everyone nearly tripped and fell to the ground.
Everyone couldn't help but mutter to themselves: He was so brave just now, proposing to the girl in front of everyone, how come he can only say such a dry and meaningless sentence now?
Where did all that courage go? Just then, Jiao Bai, who had been standing quietly to the side, finally couldn't contain his emotions any longer.
With a look of helplessness on his face, he slowly raised his right hand and gently covered his eyes, as if what was happening before him was beyond his capacity to bear and that one could not bear to watch any longer.
Meanwhile, Xiao Weiguo was so angry that he gritted his teeth and cursed inwardly.
"This silly boy! How can he be so slow to understand?"
With such a great opportunity presented to him, Tiger didn't seize the moment and finalize the marriage proposal. Instead, he uttered a bland "You're so nice." It's hard to know what he was thinking.
Xiao Weiguo was so disappointed in Hu Zi that he almost rushed forward and kicked him hard in the butt.
Meanwhile, Xiao Jian and Zhang Huihui, along with other teenagers of similar age, couldn't help but laugh when they saw this scene.
They all covered their mouths tightly with their hands, afraid that they might burst out laughing.
However, their slightly trembling shoulders betrayed their true thoughts.
In the end, it was Gu Meiying, an experienced elder, who broke the deadlock.
After all, she had been young herself, so she was well aware of the subtle thoughts between young people.
Seeing this, she quickly stepped forward, gently taking the hands of Hu Zi and Meng Jie, and speaking softly in a low voice.
"Tiger, your auntie really likes you from the bottom of her heart. As for your marriage with Mengjie, your auntie is all for it!"
After saying this, Gu Meiying carefully and slowly pulled their hands closer together, then clasped them tightly, as if she wanted to convey her unwavering support and blessings to each other in this way.
Then, she spoke earnestly.
"From now on, Mengjie is in your care! You must treat her well, because Mengjie is a rare and wonderful girl!"
It must be said that Gu Meiying's words, as Xiao Mengjie's mother, undoubtedly played a decisive role.
Her two simple sentences were like a royal decree, instantly bringing a perfect end to Hu Zi and Meng Jie's relationship, and settling this beautiful marriage in the dust.
Just then, Tiger turned his grateful gaze to Gu Meiying, muttering to himself.
"Thank you so much, Auntie, thank you so much, Auntie..."
However, at that moment, Xiao Weiguo, who was standing to the side, finally couldn't contain his emotions and kicked Hu Zi hard in the buttocks.
This silly boy! At this age, why is he still calling her "auntie"?
In Xiao Weiguo's eyes, Hu Zi was far too cowardly and lacked ambition.
Looking back, my relationship with Liu Ye was also full of ups and downs.
At that time, although Liu Ye's father, Liu Erzhu, had not yet agreed to their marriage, and her younger brother, Liu Qing, was firmly opposed, these difficulties did not deter Xiao Weiguo's determination to move forward.
Every time he saw Liu Erzhu, he would immediately call him "Dad" without saying a word. If it were a contest of who had the thickest skin, even ten more Hu Zis combined wouldn't be as good as Xiao Weiguo alone.
Although Hu Zi was kicked so viciously by Xiao Weiguo, he was not angry. Instead, he showed a simple and honest smile and chuckled foolishly.
However, even so, he still couldn't bring himself to call out "Mother".
After all, he certainly didn't have the thick skin of Xiao Weiguo. After grinning foolishly for a while, Hu Zi seemed to suddenly remember something important. The smile on his face vanished instantly, replaced by a serious and solemn expression.
