"Weiwei, let's get married when we get back, okay? I'll organize the Luo family's assets and prepare a large mansion with five courtyards and five entrances in Guyang City, near Guyang Lake. We can grow a lake full of lotus flowers and plant two sycamore trees outside the gate. I think you'll like that very much."
Perhaps it was because her eyes were shining when she spoke that Weiwei was momentarily dazed.
The moon is hazy tonight, and the bright moon in the sky looks like a cheerful little face, smiling and saying, "Weiwei, your brother Zhihuai is proposing to you!"
"How could it be so fast!" Weiwei thought that she must have just drunk a glass of fruit wine and was a little tipsy, otherwise how could such a happy thing happen?
She hesitated and wouldn't give Luo Zhihuai a straight answer, like a ripe peach weighing heavily on a branch on Peach Mountain. Weiwei kept her head down and wouldn't look at Luo Zhihuai again.
Luo Zhihuai wasn't in a hurry. He helped Feng Duo onto the carriage pulled by the Gale Beast and said with a gentle smile, "I already told my aunt about this before I left home. She also hopes that we can be together. It is indeed a bit early to prepare for marriage now."
Weiwei ignored him, her eyes fixed on the busy figures of the shop assistants cleaning up and preparing to close. Her mind was racing, and she couldn't make out what Luo Zhihuai was saying at all.
After the two Gale Beasts finished eating a roast chicken, they smacked their lips and dragged Wind Bell to the inn they had booked for the night.
After Luo Zhihuai finished tidying up, he turned around and pulled Weiwei along, walking with her towards the Tianlan Sect's mountain gate. His gentle voice was as melodious as a mountain spring, and the cool feeling that slowly fell into Weiwei's ears seeped into her heart.
Weiwei's heart pounded. The way he held her hand tightly told her that it was all real. Her words came out as a whisper: "It was all just childhood banter... Now, aren't you afraid you'll regret it if you settle down now and find a better girl later?"
At first she stuttered a bit, but later Weiwei managed to say what she was saying, though she felt a little guilty afterward.
For a long time, Luo Zhihuai remained silent, his brows furrowed as he pondered something.
The atmosphere suddenly turned cold and hard.
Weiwei felt a little down, and tears welled up in her eyes. She cursed herself inwardly for being so useless. She had done so much during this time, learned a lot of useful things, and was even able to boldly try to run the business she was in.
She thought she had made some progress, but she never expected that she would still be so useless.
"oh oh."
It's so cute when a girl makes herself look sullen.
Luo Zhihuai liked Weiwei's genuine emotions.
He cleared his throat, and at the corner, he pulled Weiwei close, and the two of them leaned against a large locust tree. Weiwei's back was itchy from the rough bark, and she suddenly opened her eyes wide to find Luo Zhihuai's magnified face right in front of her.
His lips still carried a hint of the fruit wine he had just drunk. After finishing his meal, he deliberately held a piece of ice in his mouth to cool down. The icy touch made Weiwei freeze, like a silly deer frozen in place, dumbfounded, not realizing that after being kissed on the red lips by the tall man, he had also gently kissed her brow.
"I couldn't wait any longer." Luo Zhihuai smiled with the satisfaction of having stolen a lover, his smugness was too obvious. "I want you to be my bride. If you don't want to, I'll wait until I pass your test and marry you."
Luo Zhihuai has two cute and adorable dimples when he smiles. When he was a child, everyone who saw him would say "handsome".
It's not a pleasant thing for a boy to be called good-looking.
So when Luo Zhihuai was little, he always had a serious face, just like a little adult. Silly Weiwei thought that her brother looked good even when he pretended to be an adult and didn't smile.
When the children were playing house together, the adults didn't like to play with him alone. Luo Zhihuai was isolated in a corner by the fire. Weiwei, who was half a head shorter than Luo Zhihuai, would always gently tug at his clothes and announce to everyone, "When I grow up, I want to be Zhihuai's bride!"
"Brother Zhihuai is amazing! He can write all the big characters that you guys can't!"
The little fool spoke with a proud and energetic tone. Later, everyone stopped playing with Weiwei, so Weiwei naturally became Luo Zhihuai's little shadow.
Spending all her time with a top student, either memorizing texts, practicing martial arts, or learning family techniques, Weiwei's grades improved rapidly.
Gradually, Wei's grandfather discovered that Luo Zhihuai was exceptionally diligent and talented. The old man found Luo Zhihuai several cultivation manuals that did not belong to the Wei family but were rare in the cultivation world. The teachers in the Wei family academy would also give Luo Zhihuai guidance from time to time.
Looking back now, I realize how innocent and carefree I was as a child. Although I found Weiwei, my little shadow, incredibly annoying back then, I cherish those memories now.
Especially after losing it, we cherish it all the more.
When Luo Zhihuai thought about the heart-wrenching pain and unrequited love he had experienced, he felt as if his internal organs were squeezed together, and he was suffocating everywhere.
Thankfully, Weiwei was still in his arms. His embrace tightened, as if he wanted to meld Weiwei into his very bones, making it hard for her to breathe.
