"Stop right there! You've never been there before, why are you running away!"
"No, I just felt it was too late, so I left!"
"Rong Xu! You just wait! This isn't over!"
Evening, at Yu Shi Bar.
"Star River, here!"
Upon seeing Wang Xinghe arrive, Rong Xu stood up from his booth and waved to him.
"Why did you choose a place like this?"
"Hey, sweet boy, you've never been to a bar before, have you?"
"I've been there, but I didn't like the atmosphere."
"Don't worry, this is the safest bar in Kyoto. There's nothing like what you're talking about here. It's just a place to drink and chat."
"That's fine. If you dare to take me to some shady bar, I'll tell Shishi."
"No, why are you all targeting me every single day? Do you think it's easy for me?"
"What? Who's targeting you?"
"No, come on, let me toast you first. Congratulations, Xinghe, your dream has come true. You just graduated from university and you've already developed such an awesome system. I suspect you might have a system too."
"This is not the result of my efforts alone, but the collective achievement of our entire laboratory. I don't have any special system; we are all just ordinary people."
"Alright, stop being so modest. Now that you've achieved so much, haven't you thought about your marriage yet? When are you going to marry School Beauty Liu?"
"And you? When are you getting married to Shishi?"
"Me? I'm not in a hurry. I haven't made a name for myself yet. Let's wait a bit longer. But you and Liu, the school beauty, have both made a name for yourselves. It's time for you to consider it too."
"To be honest, I did mention it," Wang Xinghe said, taking a sip of his drink.
"What! You brought that up? And then?" Rong Xu asked, feigning surprise.
"Why are you so surprised? You've been together for so long, is it strange to bring up marriage?"
"No, no, no, I'm not surprised. So when are you two getting married? Is it coming soon? I'm going to be attending your wedding!"
"Not so fast, Mengmeng hasn't agreed yet."
"What do you mean? She didn't agree? You're saying Liu Qingmeng didn't agree to your proposal to marry her?!"
"Why are you so surprised? Yes, yes, I didn't agree, okay?"
Rong Xu's sudden outburst drew the attention of everyone around him.
"Tsk tsk tsk, that shouldn't be the case. School beauty Liu likes you so much, how come she didn't agree to be with you? What did you say?"
"What else can I say? Let's just say it very seriously: Let's get married."
"Seriously, man? Are you serious?"
"Yes, I was very serious at the time."
"No, I mean, are you serious when you say that?"
"Yes, they're very serious."
"Dude, it's the 21st century now. You think you can just say 'Let's get married' and Liu, the school beauty, will agree to marry you? What about your proposal?"
"Are you still going to propose?"
"What do you think, bro? Girls really love a sense of ceremony, and Liu, the school beauty, definitely needs it too. If you don't propose, who's going to marry you? Luckily, she's Liu, the school beauty. If it were me, I'd slap you right now and call you a slut! She's been with you for so long, and you haven't even proposed yet, and you're already trying to steal her away?"
"I understand, I understand, thank you, Rongxu."
"We're all buddies, no need to thank me. But you're a bit lacking in emotional intelligence."
"I didn't think too much about it at the time; I guess I was just a bystander."
"Do you still think that School Beauty Liu doesn't like you, which is why you said you'd think about it?"
"yes."
"That's giving you a chance to prepare to propose. If you don't want to marry me, you can just refuse. You're so stupid."
"Yes, yes, that's my question."
Where are you going?
"I'm leaving."
"Where are you going? You've been drinking, where do you think you're driving to?"
"I'm going to see Mengmeng. She hasn't been paying much attention to me these past two days. I need to go and try to cheer her up."
"You're lucky you're using your emotional intelligence this time."
Wang Xinghe called Liu Qingmeng and asked where she was.
"What? I'm at home."
"Are you home? I'm coming to find you now."
"What do you want from me? My parents are home. Don't come. We can talk about it tomorrow."
"Oh, okay."
Because he had been drinking, Wang Xinghe took a taxi and prepared to go to the Liu family's house. You can't just tell me not to go and I won't go.
Seeing that Wang Xinghe had agreed, Liu Qingmeng threw her phone on the table. This guy, didn't he realize he was being sarcastic? I'm so angry! Does he think I can just say whatever I want?
Half an hour later, Liu Qingmeng heard voices outside the study.
"Uncle and Aunt, I'm sorry to bother you so late."
"It's alright, Xinghe. You've lost weight lately. Come over to my house and I'll make you something nice to eat to help you recover."
"Okay, thank you, Aunt Bai."
"Hey kid, you and Mengmeng graduated a few months ago, when are you going to get married?"
"You, Xinghe and Mengmeng just graduated and you're already thinking about getting married, right?"
"You two have been together for so long, why aren't you getting married yet? When are you planning to get married? I still want to hold my grandson!"
"That's true, Xinghe. Have you and Mengmeng considered this?"
"We've considered marriage, but as for having children, it depends on whether Mengmeng is willing. If Mengmeng isn't willing, I think we can wait."
"Wait? What are you waiting for! The man of the house has to be in charge, not let her whims get her way! Now that you've succeeded in your career, it's time to get married."
"Okay, Uncle Liu, we'll hurry."
"Xinghe, don't listen to your uncle's nonsense. Mengmeng is in the study upstairs. Go there."
"Okay, Aunt Bai, I'm going."
"Why are you pushing Xinghe so hard, and with that long face? Who are you trying to impress? It's a young person's business, what are you meddling in, old man?"
"Hehe, Yueying, if I don't hurry them up, these two might get married anytime soon. Don't you want to hold your grandson?"
"Of course I want to! I dream about it!"
"Yes, I want one too. Now that I'm retired, I have nothing to do at home, so I just want a grandson to help us take care of him."
"Ta-da!"
"Enter."
Wang Xinghe opened the door, and Liu Qingmeng smiled immediately when she saw it was him. Then, remembering that she was still angry, she quickly put it away.
"Didn't you say you weren't coming? Why did you come?"
"I didn't say I wasn't coming, I just said 'oh'."
Liu Qingmeng suddenly sniffed the air, then frowned. "Have you been drinking?"
"I drank just a little bit."
"Who were you drinking with?"
"Hey Rongxu, it's been so long since we last met. We had a few drinks today."
"Oh, so what brings you here?"
"Nothing much, I just missed you and came to see you."
"Don't touch me."
"Mengmeng, are you still sulking? Why are you angry?"
"I'm not sulking. Who said I'm sulking?"
