Chen Cixiu didn't even know how he got home. He only knew that he was on the subway and eventually arrived at his stop. Then, somewhat dazed, he left the subway station and walked home.
The road home is short, yet long. To be honest, I've been an honest person for twenty-two years. I'm like other people's children, always trying my best to fulfill my parents' arrangements. We've had a computer at home since elementary school, but I never use it to play games. In junior and senior high school, I did get invited by friends to go to internet cafes, but every time I tried to sneak out of the school gate at noon, I would see my homeroom teacher sitting with the dormitory manager, drinking tea and chatting.
He later learned that the dormitory supervisor and his two homeroom teachers were relatives.
His junior and senior high school homeroom teachers were also relatives.
During winter and summer vacations, he would stay at home, intending to go to internet cafes with his best friends to see what kind of adrenaline-pumping place they talked about. However, every time he went out, he would coincidentally run into Qin Xue's parents.
Every time her parents saw him, they would say, "Cixiu is going to the library again?"
And so, he became the "other people's child" because his parents were professors, and he didn't want his parents to be talked about because of his situation.
So, by a twist of fate, he became someone else's child.
He didn't go to internet cafes during college because he had computers at home and in his dorm. His roommates also liked to ask him to play games together in the dorm, but he wasn't interested in other games and usually only played AAA games.
Over time, they became someone else's child.
Having grown accustomed to being obedient, Chen Cixiu was momentarily at a loss for how to talk to his parents.
well!
He sighed and could only tell the truth. He felt a little bad that such a big thing as getting married had suddenly come to an end.
However, he had no regrets. Jiang Yu was too beautiful, so beautiful that even the wind blowing through her hair stirred a ripple in his heart.
"Then let's rebel just this once, let's rebel like we never have before," Chen Cixiu thought to himself.
His hand was on the doorknob, ready to turn it and go inside.
A pair of fair hands grasped his hand.
Chen Cixiu frowned and turned his head, seeing Qin Xue's angry eyes.
"Chen Cixiu, do you want Uncle Chen and Aunt Wu to sever ties with you? Do you know that for the past 22 years you've always been a good boy? This time you actually married someone you've barely even met. If Uncle Chen and Aunt Wu find out, have you thought about them?"
Qin Xue glared angrily at Chen Cixiu, her eyes blazing with fury.
Chen Cixiu came from a scholarly family, had no worries about food and drink, and enjoyed social status. Qin Xue should have lived such a stable life, but all of this was lost because of Chen Cixiu's willfulness.
This was the first time Chen Cixiu had ever cursed at someone in front of Qin Xue, and he couldn't take it anymore: "Qin Xue, are you out of your mind? Wasn't it because you forced me to get married? And now you're here blaming me with such high-sounding words..."
He didn't swear out of respect for Qin Xue's mother.
"Chen Cixiu, what the hell are you saying?"
Although Qin Xue is academically gifted and beautiful, she has always been a foul-mouthed person, except that she doesn't curse Chen Cixiu.
Chen Cixiu looked at Qin Xue as if she were an idiot.
She actually insulted her own mother.
Although I only like playing AAA games, I have played other games before, and these hands have protected my parents and ancestors for eighteen generations.
A slap landed on her face, leaving Qin Xue's face bright red.
"I was too embarrassed to refuse you at the school gate to save face for your parents. I thought you would be quiet after I got married, but I didn't expect you to be so shameless. Qin Xue, this slap is to tell you this: don't curse my mother."
Click!
Chen Cixiu opened the door.
Qin Xue covered her face, tears welling up in her eyes. Had she been hit?
She couldn't believe that she had been beaten by the older brother she had protected since childhood.
He has never been willing to hit himself since he was a child.
Thinking of this, she tearfully prepared to go in and complain.
Chen Cixiu's parents were sitting on the sofa, looking serious, and almost simultaneously turned to look at him.
Chen Cixiu looks a lot like his father, but his eyebrows and eyes resemble his mother's. They are the kind of people whose appearance is easy to distinguish even without a paternity test.
"Aunt Wu..."
Whenever Qin Xue felt wronged, she would complain to Chen Cixiu's mother.
She thought Chen Cixiu would keep it a secret from his parents, since he and that woman had only met for the first time, and marriage on the first meeting would be absolutely unacceptable to a scholarly family like the Chen family.
In her view, families with a strong scholarly tradition usually have deep-rooted old-fashioned ideas, and people who marry are either from similar social classes or know each other well.
But she was wrong.
Chen Cixiu placed the marriage certificate in front of his parents; the red booklet was a bit glaring.
"Mom and Dad, I'm married." Chen Cixiu stopped Qin Xue from complaining.
Qin Xue's eyes widened in disbelief that Chen Cixiu would actually take it out and place it in front of Uncle Chen and Aunt Wu.
Professors Chen Guanzhi and Wu Minjun seemed to be competing to see who could reach out faster, but Wu Minjun was one step ahead and got the red notebook first.
"The Civil Affairs Bureau stamped it, there's no mistake, we're really married." Wu Minjun pushed up her glasses, her face a mixture of joy and sorrow.
Chen Guanzhi tilted his head toward his wife and nodded, "Yes, we're married."
After saying that, they stood up, took their marriage certificate, and prepared to go back to their room.
"Dad, Mom? Don't you have anything you want to ask?" Chen Cixiu was taken aback; something seemed off about how things were going.
"What do you want?" Chen Guanzhi turned around and glared at him, then looked at Qin Xue. "Xiao Xue, your parents were just looking for you. With such a big thing happening at home, your uncle and aunt won't keep you any longer. You should go home now."
Qin Xue didn't see what she expected, as if none of it had happened. Uncle Chen and Aunt Wu had no intention of blaming Chen Cixiu at all, and even gave her the order to leave.
She was a person who cared about her reputation, and when the host gave her the order to leave, she could only leave with her head down.
Chen Cixiu watched helplessly as his parents walked into the room with their marriage certificate.
Will they come out soon and make me get a divorce?
If his parents were really like that, he would be even less likely to get a divorce.
Once this rebellious spirit takes hold, it's a little hard to control.
Chen Guanzhi and his wife Wu Minjun returned to their room. The soundproofing in Chen Cixiu's house was excellent; they couldn't hear anything outside when the door was closed.
"Hey, honey, are we really married? This kid has been so well-behaved for so many years, how come he's suddenly become rebellious?"
Chen Guanzhi's words were like discovering a new continent.
"It must be because of Xiaoxue, but we need to lock up this marriage certificate for him. We'll have him bring his daughter-in-law back to see her another day. She looks very beautiful in the photo." Wu Minjun happily went to the safe, opened it, put the marriage certificate inside, locked it, and changed the password. Her son was too smart; he could probably guess most of the safe's password.
