She wrote him many letters, but received no response.
Bai Xiao only said that Yang Qing was his former comrade-in-arms, and he was unwilling to mention Yang Qing.
Wu Shishi didn't know whether she should cry or not, but she knew that her heart was broken.
After Yang Qing disappeared, Wu's parents arranged blind dates for her, and she has been going on blind dates ever since.
Having met one man after another, Wu Shishi not only didn't have any desire to get married, but instead, she became increasingly distant from men.
"You have no idea what kind of extreme people I've encountered!"
Wu Shishi complained speechlessly.
"The first guy I met was from an average family. In my mother's words, this young man was very motivated, proactive, and would take care of me in the future."
"But do you know what he's like in front of me?"
"He actually thought I was the only one who wanted to be with him, while many people would want to marry him because of his qualities."
She said she wanted to marry him and that she would have to listen to him at home and let him be the center of everything.
Wu Shishi spoke vividly, and Xia Lan's eyes widened upon hearing this.
"Are there really such weird men out there? Does he think he's incredibly charming?"
Xia Lan thought this man sounded like a "phoenix man" (a man from a poor background who achieves success).
"Absolutely! He made me furious on the spot! Who does he think he is? How dare he look down on me?"
"He said that after we got married, I couldn't buy things recklessly anymore, and that his money was more than enough to support me. I thought he could earn a lot of money a month! But when I asked, it turned out he only made thirty-five yuan a month!"
"Lanlan, you know me! Thirty-five yuan is not bad, but these shoes I'm wearing alone cost over twenty yuan!"
"When he heard that my shoes cost over twenty yuan, he actually said that after we got married, I should give him the money to manage. I was so angry that I laughed."
Wu Shishi's hands started itching as she recalled the scene.
"They are indeed quite confident."
Xia Lan couldn't help but laugh.
"His money is his money, and your money is still his money!"
"I had a stroke at the time, so I threw a glass of water at him and left."
Wu Shishi rolled her eyes.
"The next day, he actually went to my dad and said he wanted to propose! He said we had a very good chat the day before! He told my dad that I have a bit of a temper, but he would discipline me properly!"
Uncle Wu is probably furious!
Xia Lan laughed and said that Wu Jianmin doted on this daughter the most, and this utterly awful man from a poor background even said in front of Wu Jianmin that he would discipline his precious daughter.
"That's right. My dad smiled and refused on the surface, but then he called my mom and gave her a lecture, and then sent this guy away!"
Wu Shishi was happy when Wu Jianmin was mentioned. Her father's support made her especially happy.
"My mom calmed down for a while, until the news of you giving birth to Tuantuan and Yuanyuan reached her ears, and then she went crazy."
“She keeps telling me that she wants a precious grandson or granddaughter, whether it’s a boy or a girl.”
"She just wanted to be a grandmother."
"I really want to scream for help. Does she expect me to be hermaphroditic and give birth on my own?"
Wu Shishi said dejectedly.
"What about Uncle Wu? What did he say?"
Xia Lan asked with a smile.
"...At first he even criticized my mom! But later he was assimilated by my mom too!"
"They're constantly pressuring me to get married in various ways..."
Wu Shishi, with a mournful face, hugged Xia Lan and begged for help.
"Thank goodness you're back, otherwise I was preparing to pack my bags and come live with you!"
Wu Shishi nuzzled against Xia Lan.
"Please save me! You're the only one who can save me now..."
They all urged me to get married...
Wu Shishi lowered her head sadly.
Xia Lan pursed her lips and hugged Wu Shishi.
Seven years have passed since they graduated, and even Tuantuan and Yuanyuan are almost seven years old!
She's gone from eighteen to twenty-five. In this day and age, a twenty-five-year-old girl who isn't married, no matter how beautiful or well-off she is, is worthless in the eyes of those people.
Women are labeled, and if they reach a certain age and are not married, they are seen as outcasts and subjected to discrimination.
Wu Shishi was able to hold on for so long precisely because Wu Jianmin was backing her up.
Now even Wu Jianmin feels that Wu Shishi can't keep wasting her time like this, and has joined the ranks of those urging her to get married.
We can't say he's right, but we can't say he's wrong either.
"Shishi, tell me the truth, can't you still forget Yang Qing?"
Xia Lan looked at Wu Shishi and asked seriously.
"..."
If someone else had asked her this question, Wu Shishi would definitely have denied it.
But Wu Shishi didn't want to lie in front of Xia Lan.
Over the years, she has met some nice gay men, but she just can't open up to them or take things to the next level.
Xia Lan, seeing Wu Shishi's expression, guessed what was going on.
Although Yang Qing's presence lasted only a few hours, it left a mark on Wu Shishi's heart.
Like the white moonlight, it left an indelible mark on her heart.
"I think so."
Wu Shishi nodded in agreement.
"I subconsciously compare all the men I meet..."
Xia Lan looked at Wu Shishi.
"You still have his unit's address, right?"
Wu Shishi nodded.
"The best way is to go directly to him!"
Xia Lan looked at Wu Shishi, who was taken aback.
"What?"
"Just go find him and ask him directly! Why didn't he reply to your letter? Why is there no follow-up?"
