Shumei was a little amused and helpless, she slowly buttoned her clothes.
"See? Your reaction tells me that we can't go back to the way we were before. Instead of making each other suffer, it's better to suffer a short and long pain. We should just let it go and save each other from suffering." Shumei said dejectedly.
This was the outcome she had anticipated. She knew that no normal person could face her horrific scar. Not only did she not dare look at it directly, but she herself would have nightmares every night. Don't do to others what you don't want done to you, especially when that person was Tang Boyi, the man she deeply loved.
"No, no, Shumei, it's my fault. This happened too suddenly and I wasn't prepared. I can handle it. I can accept your scars. They're not enough to stop us from being together."
Boyi realized that his reaction just now had hurt Shumei. It was clearly like rubbing salt into Shumei's wound. He hurriedly explained to Shumei.
Boyi's words and his anxious expression really moved Shumei again.
But the more Boyi acted like this, the more she didn't want Boyi to feel wronged, and she didn't want him to force himself to accept her because of her.
"Bo Yi, I think we both need to calm down with each other."
"No, no, no, I don't need any time to calm down. Our wedding is already too late, and I don't have enough patience to wait any longer. Shumei promised me that we can get the marriage certificate first and then have the wedding in two days after we finish preparing, okay?"
Shumei never expected that Boyi was still so devoted to her. Facing such a Boyi, she really couldn't bear to refuse him again.
Indeed, their wedding has been delayed for too long. Every time the wedding is approaching, all kinds of problems will arise, as if God is deliberately making things difficult for them.
She had been hiding for so long and worried for so long, but she didn't expect that once they met, all her worries and problems would be solved.
Shumei twitched her lower lip in surprise and nodded affirmatively.
Boyi was so excited that he almost jumped up when he saw Shumei agreed. He immediately burst into laughter and hugged Shumei and spun around in circles.
When Shumei saw Boyi was happy, she felt the same way and forced a smile on her tear-stained face.
"Bo Yi, I'm dizzy, put me down quickly, someone is watching me!"
Shumei saw that passers-by were looking at her strangely, so she quickly patted Boyi and asked him to put her down.
Boyi didn't listen to her. He just hugged her, broke open the door of his house, and hid in his yard with Shumei in his arms.
Only then did he put Shumei down, and the two looked at each other affectionately, their eyes full of happiness.
Boyi kissed Shumei on the mouth and plundered her mouth wantonly. The two of them were so inseparable in their kiss that their two mouths seemed to be stuck together with glue.
After a long time, Boyi reluctantly pulled it away from his mouth.
He looked down at Shumei, whose cheeks were slightly flushed, and said, "Shumei, I'll go get the household registration booklet now. Shall we go to the town to get the marriage certificate now?"
Shumei smiled slightly. "Now? Don't you see what time it is? It's already dark when we get to town. Could it be that the Civil Affairs Bureau is working overtime at night?"
Boyi suddenly realized what was happening. He checked the time on his wrist. It was already past three in the afternoon. Even if they rode as fast as they could, it would be five or six in the town. Those who worked for the government lived from nine to five, so rushing there was futile.
"Haha, look at me, I forget the time when I'm happy. How about this, tomorrow morning, at 8 o'clock, I'll come to your house to find you. You bring your household registration booklet and we'll go get the certificate. I'm tired of these long nights and many dreams. I can't wait any longer."
Shumei nodded in response.
"Once we get the marriage certificate, I will immediately arrange the wedding, and then you will become my Tang Boyi's woman in a grand ceremony."
"Okay! I'll go back first. I have guests at home!"
"Okay, I'll take you there." Boyi sent Shumei out of the yard. He pushed the bicycle into the yard, locked the gate, and the two walked towards Zhang's yard together.
"Shumei, if I remember correctly, those two people just now should be the family you used to work as a nanny for, right?"
"Yeah! You have a pretty good memory. It's them."
"Then why did they follow you back?"
"It's hard to explain at this moment. I'll explain it to you slowly later."
…
As the two chatted, they unknowingly arrived at the gate of Zhang's courtyard.
The suspicious Li Yushu was actually waiting at the door.
He was afraid that his future daughter-in-law had been abducted, so he was very nervous and had to wait for Shumei at the door.
"Shumei, you're back. I thought you were kidnapped by a bad man after such a long time." Seeing Shumei coming back, Li Yushu hurried forward to greet her and cast a hateful look at Boyi next to him.
"Uncle Li, you're joking. How could there be any bad guys in broad daylight? Besides, this is my own village. Bad guys will have to take a detour when they see me, haha!" Shumei responded to Li Yushu with a smile.
Li Yushu turned his gaze towards Boyi, "Who is this person?"
Li Yushu's words were questioning and full of deep hostility towards Boyi.
"Oh! Uncle Li, I forgot to introduce you. This is Tang Boyi, my fiancé."
Shumei told Li Yushu about her relationship with Boyi without any concealment.
She thought that this was a great opportunity to clear up the misunderstanding with Li Yushu. Why not strike while the iron is hot to prevent Li Yushu from beating around the bush to match her with Wencai?
"What? Fiancé?" Li Yushu's eyes were wide open and his lips were trembling slightly when he spoke.
Shumei simply held hands with Boyi and responded to Li Yushu's suspicion with action.
"Yes, Uncle Li, we can be considered childhood sweethearts. If it weren't for various reasons, we might have been together years ago."
