"Yes, I will remember that," Pang Yi bowed and said. He closed the carriage door and said to Mei Ya, "I will take my leave."
"Let's go." Mei Ya nodded.
Pang Yi got on the carriage. With a flick of the whip, the carriage slowly drove out of the gate. Mei Ya followed behind the carriage. She didn't stop until the carriage reached the mountain road. She waited until the carriage was out of sight. Then she slowly returned home.
"What's wrong?" As soon as he saw Meiya enter the bedroom, Zhong Mingwei pulled her into his arms and kissed Meiya's cold cheek. He asked softly, "Are you so reluctant to leave Mr. Gu?"
Just now he saw clearly through the window that the girl was crying, even though Gu Changlin was already in his sixties. Zhong Mingwei still felt bad.
"Yeah. I can't bear to leave." Mei Ya hummed softly, lowering her head and holding Zhong Mingwei's fingers. She pinched them again and again, and then continued. "I have been an orphan since I was a child, but I don't think I am pitiful. I used to be in the palace. Nanny Xiang was kind to me. Later, when I came to Ningguta, there were also Grandma Chen and Mr. Gu. They were all very kind to me. Although I didn't say it, I regarded them as the elders of the family in my heart."
Zhong Mingwei felt a little uncomfortable. The less Mei Ya felt sorry for herself, the more uncomfortable he felt. He immediately hugged Mei Ya tightly, put his face close to Mei Ya's, and said softly, "When we get married, let's invite Mr. Gu and Grandma Chen to come. Then we can kowtow to them, okay?"
"Really?" Mei Ya obviously didn't expect this, and immediately looked at Zhong Mingwei with a look of surprise. It was obvious that this was what she thought in her heart, but Mei Ya was a little hesitant. She stared at Zhong Mingwei for a long time before whispering, "No, we don't have to kowtow to them, we can just bow to them..."
"That won't do," Zhong Mingwei interrupted Meiya and added, "According to the customs of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the bride and groom must kowtow to their parents at the wedding. Since we don't have parents around, Mr. Gu and Grandma Chen are our elders, so it's only right for us to kowtow to them."
"But..." Meiya was still a little worried. She gently rubbed Zhong Mingwei's legs and whispered, "But I don't want you to kneel down."
"Don't worry, my legs will be fine by then, it's okay." Zhong Mingwei knew what she was worried about, and he leaned over and kissed the little girl's red lips again, "Didn't I walk well yesterday?"
"How dare you say that!" Mei Ya suddenly laughed, staring at Zhong Mingwei and said coyly, "I agreed that I would help you walk, but you ended up hanging half of your body on me. Pang Yi and Mr. Gu saw it, they must think... think..."
"What do you think?" Mei Ya couldn't continue speaking, but Zhong Mingwei kept asking.
"Of course I think you're not a decent person!" Mei Ya was so annoyed by him that she yelled at him with a red face. As soon as the words came out of her mouth, she quickly covered her mouth and looked towards the door nervously. Then she remembered that Gu Changlin and Pang Yi were not at home. She immediately blushed and her heart began to beat fast for no reason. She turned around and looked at Zhong Mingwei with a little hook in her eyes.
"Actually, I can be even more frivolous..." Zhong Mingwei couldn't stand her gaze like that, so he held Mei Ya's face and kissed her passionately. Mei Ya pretended to push Zhong Mingwei away a few times at the beginning, but gradually she stopped moving and let Zhong Mingwei demand for her so domineeringly, and also let Zhong Mingwei pull the quilt over them both.
…
Since Gu Changlin and Pang Yi came, such time alone has become rare. The two of them are in love, how can they bear to just watch all day? But Mei Ya is thin-skinned and will not let Zhong Mingwei succeed easily. In the past few months, Zhong Mingwei was almost suffocated. Now that Gu Changlin and Pang Yi are gone, how can Zhong Mingwei bear it?
Zhong Mingwei took off his shirt to wipe Meiya's hands, and then kissed her sweaty face. Meiya blushed very much. It was obviously not the first time this happened, but she could not stand Zhong Mingwei's excessive enthusiasm.
