Jun Haoyue's answer was very straightforward, so straightforward that it was unbelievable. Wang Muling was still preparing many words to instigate him.
She looked at him in surprise, but she immediately reacted and said even more forcefully, "I have another request."
"explain."
"I will choose your marriage partner."
Jun Haoyue's expression remained unchanged, and he snorted.
"Squeak." Footsteps, so faint that they were inaudible unless one listened carefully, came from not far away.
His ears twitched and he looked at the corner a few meters behind him, but there was no one in sight.
"What's wrong?" Wang Muling also looked in the direction he was looking. The man was talking quietly, but suddenly looked behind him.
"Nothing." Jun Haoyue had nothing to say to the extremely shameless girl, so he answered sparingly.
Wang Muling was embarrassed, then quietly approached Jun Haoyue. Just as she was about to get close to him, Jun Haoyue pushed her away.
She stumbled two steps before she stood firm, rubbing her arm and yelling in dissatisfaction: "What are you doing?"
Jun Haoyue replied without any expression on his face, "Men and women should not touch each other, Miss Wang, please respect yourself."
Wang Muling was shocked. "You and your 'cousin' were hugging each other, why didn't you mention that there's no room for physical contact between men and women?" But she didn't dare say this to her face.
"I have understood everything. I will take my leave now."
After saying that, he left without looking back.
Wang Muling looked at his back and licked her lips. The best was yet to come.
After returning home, Jun Haoyue went into the inner room. Xu Xingchen was counting on an abacus with his back to the door. The abacus beads made a clicking sound as his fingertips moved.
Before he could say anything, Xu Xingchen seemed to open his eyes and asked, "What did you do?"
"...a little thing in the field."
Hearing the answer, Xu Xingchen stopped fiddling with the abacus and did not move for a long time.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became gloomy. Jun Haoyue acted as if he hadn't noticed. He said to the person who was carrying him and refused to turn around, "Xingchen, there's something I want to discuss with you."
Xu Xingchen still didn't turn around. She didn't want him to see the disappointment in her eyes. She spoke without emotion, "What's the matter?"
Jun Haoyue considered his words carefully and said slowly, "I think the young man that Auntie Pang introduced to me last time is not bad. You can consider him."
The person with his back to him turned around with anger on his face, "Jun Haoyue, what do you mean?"
She stood up and walked in front of him, poking his shoulder and said word by word: "What reason do you have to dictate my affairs? What does it have to do with you whether I get married or not?"
The pain from his shoulder was no match for the pain in his heart. Even if it was just a delaying tactic, it still made him feel very uncomfortable.
Jun Haoyue lowered his eyes, not wanting her to see the sadness in them. The next words he spoke were low and hoarse, "I have no reason, and it has nothing to do with me. I just hope you're okay."
"Oh, are you okay? Don't you think that's inconsistent?" Xu Xingchen's eyes were red, and he refused to show his grievance. "I'm telling you, I won't get married. You can be with whoever you want. I won't get in your way!"
"Be good to whoever you want to be good to" This sentence made Jun Haoyue's eyelids jump. He suddenly raised his eyes and wanted to explain anxiously, "Xingchen, what you said..."
However, Xu Xingchen didn't want to see him at all at this moment, and didn't want to listen to his "quibbling". She pulled him around and pushed him out with both hands.
"Get out of here! I don't want to see you!"
Jun Haoyue didn't dare to use his hidden strength for fear of hurting her, so he half-heartedly let her push him out of the door.
After pushing the man out of the door, Xu Xingchen slammed the door hard as if to vent his anger, without thinking whether he would hit him.
The door panel vibrated a few millimeters in front of Jun Haoyue's nose. The strong wind from the closing door blew up his bangs and sideburns, and it took several seconds for them to fall back to their original place.
Jun Haoyue raised his hand and knocked on the door like a gentleman. "Xingchen, could you please open the door? I think you misunderstood me."
Xu Xingchen hugged his knees and leaned against the door with his back, burying his head in his arms. He turned a deaf ear to the people outside the door who talked until their lips were broken and their fingers were swollen from knocking.
She was not only angry at Jun Haoyue for making the decision for her, but also angry at herself for being so angry.
Because Jun Haoyue advised her to get married and find someone to marry?
No, it's not.
It was because Jun Haoyue said he had to leave for something, and she couldn't control her curiosity and followed him, and even saw him and Wang Muling getting very close to each other.
As soon as he heard from the villagers that their identities as siblings were fake and that they were having an affair, he left in a hurry. So Jun Haoyue ran to explain to Wang Muling, fearing that she would "misunderstand" their relationship, so he asked him to get married quickly, right?
Jun Haoyue, who was still knocking anxiously outside the door, had no idea that the person in the room had such a wild imagination. If he knew that the footsteps he heard were from Xu Xingchen, he would probably wish he could turn back time, punch his then-self, and then chase after him.
The knocking on the door lasted for more than half an hour before it stopped. As the footsteps gradually faded away, Xu Xingchen staggered to the bedside, fell face down, and buried himself in the quilt with a plop.
The quarrel was too tiring, and she fell asleep without realizing it.
She woke up in the evening, but it was because she was awakened by hunger. She squinted her sore eyes, opened the door, and found a word "An" made of flowers on the ground at the door. The word "An" was made of small yellow flowers.
Xu Xingchen's eyes flickered, yellow flowers, An.
The little yellow flower he put in her hair in the dead woods; the sugar figurine with the word "An" she wanted at the lantern festival... scenes flashed before her eyes like a kaleidoscope.
She pursed her lips, squatted down, gathered the small yellow flowers into a bunch, and carefully wrapped the roots with a handkerchief. After holding it in her hand, she took a deep look at the bouquet.
She would never forgive Jun Haoyue, so she didn't want anything of his.
She was going to throw it away.
When she arrived at the door and looked at the bouquet of flowers in her hand, she hesitated.
"Hey~ Sister Xu, who sent you these flowers? They are so beautiful." Zhang Xiaochun walked over with a proud look on his face.
Xu Xingchen instinctively put the bouquet behind her. Zhang Xiaochun was stunned at first when she saw her action, and then teased her maliciously: "Hey, what are you hiding? I saw it all. Which man gave it to you?"
Xu Xingchen chose to remain silent. She was in a bad mood and didn't want to argue with Zhang Xiaochun.
Zhang Xiaochun was in high spirits and was not angry at her cold eyes. She had news that would make Xu Xingchen even angrier.
She proudly stretched out her orchid finger in front of Xu Xingchen and said, "Sister Xu, oh no, Sister Xu, we will be sisters-in-law soon. From now on, we must get along well with each other, hehe."
Xu Xingchen's brain froze upon hearing this, and like a rusty machine, he slowly turned his head, "What did you say?"
Zhang Xiaochun was even happier when he saw her expression, and he repeated loudly, "I told you, soon, I'll be getting married to Mr. Jun!"
