After I said the hardest sentence, everything went much more smoothly.
In fact, this was something Chen Tian had planned a long time ago. He had to establish a relationship with Bai Su in the village before the provincial examination.
Bai Su already owed him a huge favor after yesterday's incident. Chen Tian knew his lover must have a crush on him, and he was thinking of finding an opportunity in the next two days to discuss letting him take over, so he wouldn't be constantly bothered by these things and could use this opportunity to bring them closer.
But before he could even get a chance to say it, someone else came to his door, provoking him into saying something like this. But considering his appearance, this excuse was the most appropriate.
Whether the gender is male or female in the eyes of outsiders does not matter to Chen Tian. He is just a little worried about Bai Su's thoughts.
Among the people present at this moment, it was not only Aunt Chunying who was shocked. The girl next to him also suddenly raised her head and looked at him.
Although Bai Su was equally surprised, he managed to suppress his expression and stood calmly behind Chen Tian. Someone who didn't know would have assumed he already knew.
Of course, Bai Su knew very well whether the beauty next to him was a man or a woman.
But since Zichen had publicly declared herself a woman, he wouldn't deliberately sabotage her. Besides, based on her appearance alone, it made sense.
Seeing Chen Tian's red ears, Bai Su was filled with interest and was looking forward to the purpose of his words.
Such a look seemed full of affection to outsiders, causing the girl opposite, who originally had a smile on her face, to turn pale in an instant.
The woman had seen Bai Su in the town before and thought that this young man was very handsome and had been obsessed with him. She asked someone and found out that he was a scholar from Lijia Village and lived next door to her aunt's house.
After talking to my parents at home, I heard that Bai Su was a good person, so I made an excuse to come here.
I thought I would be able to find my ideal husband, but now...
The girl bit her lower lip and looked at Chen Tian, with hostility and disbelief in her eyes.
"How is this possible? How are you going to prove you're a woman?"
The girl still didn't want to believe that her marriage was over. Although the man's appearance was stunning, his demeanor and dress showed that he was a man.
Chen Tian glanced at her when he heard that. He wasn't the type to argue with a little girl. But the feeling of having his lover coveted was really not a good one.
Bai Su sensed a hint of danger, so he simply took over the conversation and said with a faint smile, "Since Zichen...Since Chenchen has said it, I won't hide it from you.
Chenchen is my future wife. Her family suffered a disaster and her family was separated, so she had no choice but to come to me. Because of her beauty, she usually disguises herself as a man, which caused my aunt to misunderstand her.
"Are you really a woman?"
Hearing Bai Su say this, Aunt Chunying naturally believed it. Especially after she carefully observed Chen Tian's beauty that transcended gender, she thought it was no wonder that he looked so good, he turned out to be a girl.
However, this girl is a little too tall, and seems to be a little taller than Bai Xiucai.
Her figure is not as slender as that of an average girl. Although she is not tall and strong, her body does look a little broader than that of Bai Xiucai who is standing next to her.
Her eyelids twitched, and Aunt Chunying felt that it was understandable that she had not recognized this as a woman before.
She came to the town to lobby for her niece, but she didn't expect such a thing to happen.
However, since he already has a fiancée, it would be inappropriate for her to try to introduce him to someone else.
Seeing her niece's grim expression, and the way she clearly wanted to say something, Aunt Chunying knew how willful this girl could be, so she quickly said with a smile, "That's great! This girl looks great. It seems like all my worries were in vain. When the wedding is over, don't forget to tell me!"
Having said that, he forcibly dragged the unwilling girl away.
After Aunt Chunying left, Bai's mother finally came to her senses.
Bai's mother was confused at first, but since her son said so, she did not refute.
Now that everyone else had left, he finally had the chance to pull Bai Su aside and hurriedly asked, "Suzhi, what do you mean? What do you mean by engagement? How come I didn't know about this?"
Also, you said that Zichen's child is a girl?"
Chen Tian pursed his lips upon hearing this, feeling truly embarrassed. Saying she was a woman was impulsive, but since Bai Su was willing to accept it, it was worth it to help him cover up everything.
So now he could only look at Bai Su on the side, obviously hoping that the other party would speak for him.
After all, this is Bai Su's mother. No matter how much he says, it can't compare to the other party's casual words.
Bai Su saw the beautiful woman beside him winking at him innocently, and the smile in her eyes deepened. He did not want to embarrass him and directly said to his mother: "What you said just now was also helpless. As for Zichen's gender, it is indeed as you said just now.
"Mother, when I rescued Zichen, I knew he was a girl. I just kept it a secret for his reputation."
Since her own son said so, Bai's mother naturally had no doubts.
Chen Tian had been very filial and caring towards her these days. Bai's mother had always thought that if this was her own child, it would surely be a companion and make the home more lively. If it was a girl, it would be perfect to marry her son. But she never expected that it would actually be a girl!
However, once the gender is changed, there are some things that you have to pay attention to.
"But, but you have been living in the same room all these days!" Bai's mother suddenly remembered and said quickly, this really ruined a girl's reputation.
Before Bai Su could explain, Chen Tian quickly interrupted, "Aunt, Suzhi and I have always slept separately, one on the bed and the other under it."
Taking advantage of the fact that Bai's mother couldn't possibly know their situation in the room, Chen Tian lied without any pressure.
"I was seriously injured before, and thanks to Suzhi's care, I wouldn't be standing here peacefully. As the saying goes, a life-saving grace..."
At this point, Chen Tian hesitated for a moment and glanced at Bai Su. Seeing the other's smiling face, he felt more at ease. He simply threw away his pride and said directly: "Although I should repay the favor of saving my life with my body, I also know that with my current status, I have wronged Suzhi.
What Su Zhi just said was just a temporary solution. As for the matter between us, let's put it aside for now. I just exposed myself because I felt that the provincial examination was approaching, and I didn't want to let such things distract him all the time."
"How can we just let this go? You are the one who has been wronged!"
Bai's mother was initially shocked by the incident and somewhat suspicious of Chen Tian's intentions, but after he relented, she felt that the child was a good person and grateful. She insisted, "My daughter's reputation is the most important thing. After all, you two have been staying in the same room for so long. Don't worry, I will definitely hold this boy accountable!"
Chen Tian's voice actually doesn't sound like a woman's, but he can lower and soften it a little, which is quite pleasant to the ear.
Furthermore, even though Bai's mother couldn't see Chen Tian's face clearly due to her eye disease, she had heard that she was very beautiful. She even wore a hat to cover her appearance when she went out, so she must be an extremely beautiful woman.
It is understandable that women would dress as men to protect themselves and avoid being coveted by outsiders.
Knowing that Bai's mother still needed time to digest this matter, Bai Su said a few simple words, asked Bai's mother to rest for a while, and then took Chen Tian to the kitchen to prepare dinner.
When they were alone in front of the stove, Chen Tiancai hurriedly explained, "Suzhi, don't be angry. I'm doing this for your own good. Otherwise, you'd be distracted if someone bothered you every few days.
The provincial examination is coming soon. Since you don't want to be bothered by these things, why not use my name first? That way, no one will always be targeting you!"
Bai Su looked at Chen Tian quietly for a long time after hearing this. Just when Chen Tian broke out in a cold sweat, thinking that his beloved had seen through something, the young man smiled and nodded, saying, "Zi Chen is right. This method is naturally very good.
My mother has always wanted me to get married soon. To be honest, I've been so focused on my studies that I've neglected myself. It's not a good idea to still be single. I should put my mother at ease first.
I just don't know if you can do me another favor, Zichen?"
"What help do you need? Just tell me, Suzhi!" Chen Tian said proudly.
"This matter is both simple and difficult." Bai Su smiled and continued, "I wonder if Zichen would marry me."
At this point, seeing the shocked look on Chen Tian's face, Bai Su explained: "Of course, it's not a real marriage. I know you are a man, Zichen, but you also saw that in this situation, I need to give an explanation to my family and the outside world.
You also know that my mother's eyesight is not good, and I don't want to go against others casually, as it will only hurt others and myself.
I thought that since you, Zichen, have just said that you are a woman, I am afraid that everyone in the village will know it soon.
It would be better to make the best of a bad situation and disguise yourself as a woman to marry me. If you really get married, it will not only put my mother's mind at ease, but also save the family from a lot of trouble."
As if worried that Chen Tian would not agree, Bai Su deliberately lowered his eyes and acted depressed: "I know that as a man, Zichen, it is really difficult for you to do this. I have no choice.
If you find it really inconvenient, Zichen, then even..."
"I promise!"
Before Bai Su could even finish, Chen Tian immediately agreed. He had originally said he was a woman disguised as a man just to establish a connection with Bai Su, thinking it would only be a temporary title. Unexpectedly, his lover gave him an even bigger surprise, so he naturally agreed with joy.
As for the fact that he would be regarded as a woman married off in the eyes of outsiders, this small sacrifice was nothing to him in order to be with the one he loved.
Bai Su didn't expect the other party to agree so easily. He was stunned for a moment, and then a bright smile appeared on his face.
While waiting for dinner, he discussed the marriage arrangements with Bai's mother.
As for Chen Tian's disguise as a man, the news spread like wildfire. In just two or three days, everyone in Lijia Village knew about it.
Many unmarried men who have seen Chen Tian's appearance regretted not taking the risk. If they had known that this person was a girl, they would have expressed their affection earlier and would not have delayed until now.
However, when he thought about the fact that the man was going to marry Bai Xiu, he could only give up the idea. After all, in Lijia Village, who else but Bai Xiucai could be worthy of that stunning beauty!
