Xu Xingchen was moved by Jun Haoyue's words. He opened his lips and murmured, "I believe you. It's obviously you who don't believe me. You don't tell me anything..."
Jun Haoyue was stunned. It wasn't that he didn't want to tell her, but he thought that the less she knew, the less hurt she would be. However, he forgot that she would also be suspicious and uneasy.
At that time, the depression he had pretended to have turned into real depression.
"Xingchen, anyway, I have my own difficulties. I just hope you don't do anything you'll regret out of anger."
Xu Xingchen's eyes flashed with clarity, and he replied dissatisfiedly: "Since you don't tell me, just leave me alone."
Jun Haoyue pursed his lips and said nothing.
Perhaps she felt tired, so she slowly leaned towards Jun Haoyue. The person she was leaning against stiffened slightly, then immediately relaxed.
After that, neither of them spoke again. Xu Xingchen took seven or eight sips of his glass of wine but still couldn't finish it.
Unconsciously, the person leaning on Jun Haoyue's body began to breathe more slowly, and he dared to look at her.
The eyelashes of a person who has fallen asleep tremble slightly, indicating that his sleep was not peaceful.
A sigh filled the air.
Jun Haoyue carried her back to the house and put her on the bed. He covered her eyes with his big hands and did not remove them until the slight itch under his palms disappeared.
After sitting by the bed for a long time, he got up and left.
After he left, the person on the bed slowly opened his eyes, flickering a few times in the dim light.
Before dawn the next day, Aunt Pang came to Xu Xingchen's house, pulled her out of bed early, and watched her wash and dress up.
This girl is good in every way and has a very distinctive appearance, but she doesn't like to dress up and goes out without makeup all day long. Today is her big day, and we can't let her go without makeup any longer.
The scene of the marriage proposal.
Xu Xingchen sat on the stage they had built overnight, feeling somewhat uninterested. The fat aunt beside her acted like a supporter, constantly explaining to her which young man had won first place in something.
Aunt Pang is quite capable in her work. She is good at poetry and songs, and she is also very skilled in martial arts.
Jun Haoyue was invited to be the chief examiner, under the pretext of personally verifying his cousin's future husband.
Xu Xingchen once asked Aunt Pang why she let him be the chief examiner, but Aunt Pang hesitated and refused to say, so she was very suspicious of Jun Haoyue's appointment as the chief examiner.
But the marriage proposal has already begun, and she has no time to worry about whether she will get it or not.
Everyone Xu Xingchen had seen on the stage, whether she had met him or not, came, such as Li Yunxiao, who had said before that he had a crush on her, and people from the neighboring village all came to join in the fun.
The most speechless thing is that Zhang Tiansheng, who always said that Xu Xingchen was second-hand, also signed up to participate.
Naturally, Zhang Tiansheng was booed when he came on stage. This man said one thing and did another, but his body was very honest.
Just when everyone was not optimistic about this skinny guy, he unexpectedly rushed into the finals as a dark horse, surprising everyone.
In everyone's opinion, Zhang Tiansheng couldn't even pass the written test, but Jun Haoyue, the chief examiner, actually let this idiot pass.
Not to mention the martial arts test, this guy relied on brute force to get to the top and made it to the finals.
Many talented young men in the village emerged from this marriage search, which brought considerable convenience to the unmarried girls. Some women even secretly looked for husbands for their daughters in advance.
In the end, there were only three people left in the finals: Li Yunxiao, Zhang Tiansheng, and a guy from a neighboring village who wanted to join in the fun.
Li Yunxiao and Zhang Tiansheng naturally tacitly agreed to first get rid of the people from the neighboring village. The reason was, of course, that it would be good for the family.
Those who had joined in the fun left the stage, leaving only Zhang Tiansheng and Li Yunxiao.
Zhang Tiansheng was in full swing today. He stretched out his hand and hooked it at Li Yunxiao, a naked provocation.
Li Yunxiao naturally didn't mind this, so he punched Zhang Tiansheng in the face with all his might.
A fool is a fool after all. Even if he gets an acquired buff, he will be a mess when faced with real strength.
Zhang Tiansheng dodged in a very awkward manner, and soon his face was covered with bruises. In contrast, Li Yunxiao was dressed neatly, and Zhang Tiansheng didn't even touch the corner of his clothes.
Zhang Tiansheng had a gloomy face, his tongue touched his cheek, and his eyes glanced at one place inadvertently, then retracted.
When he attacked again, Li Yunxiao made a mistake!
His feet suddenly slipped and his body leaned towards Zhang Tiansheng. Zhang Tiansheng raised his knee and hit Li Yunxiao's abdomen hard.
Li Yunxiao groaned and lay on the ground for a long time without getting up.
The winner and the loser are clear at a glance.
Aunt Fat paced anxiously on the stage. She had high hopes for Li Yunxiao, but how could Zhang Tiansheng have taken advantage of her in the end? How could she explain this to Xu Xiaoniang?
She was anxious and her eyes unconsciously drifted towards Xu Xingchen.
Xu Xingchen didn't even look at the stage. He lowered his head and played with his fingers, not caring at all who won.
Zhang Tiansheng spat and shouted to the stage, "Auntie Fatty, announce the results! I won!"
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Aunt Fat wanted to change her mind. She quietly asked Xu Xingchen if they wanted to have another test, another match. Even if it was just one of them who could beat Zhang Tiansheng down, it would be fine.
Xu Xingchen replied calmly: "That's it."
Since the parties involved said so, Aunt Pang had no choice but to announce the result.
When the results were announced, Zhang Tiansheng was the only one on the stage, his arms outstretched as he circled the crowd in cheers. No one in the audience cheered for him. There were even occasional voices of doubt, "No way, Zhang Tiansheng won? This..."
"Alas, flowers are stuck in cow dung."
"The Zhang family is simply abusing people."
The crowd's questioning voices continued unabated, and Zhang Tiansheng heard them clearly.
Could Zhang Tiansheng bear this? Of course not. He stood on the stage and started arguing with the onlookers.
The scene was chaotic for a while.
“That’s enough!”
Xu Xingchen was not in a good mood to begin with, and this chaos made her feel annoyed. Her face was filled with unrestrained impatience. "There is no doubt that Zhang Tiansheng won. When the auspicious time comes, we will do whatever we want."
Zhang Tiansheng unilaterally believed that Xu Xingchen was backing him up. He proudly boasted to the person he was arguing with, "Did you hear that? Did you hear that? I told you to be sour, but you can't even eat it."
"Tsk." The other party simply ignored him.
Having tasted the "sweetness", Zhang Tiansheng became more and more presumptuous and walked directly in front of Xu Xingchen, leaning forward with lustful eyes to kiss her.
Xu Xingchen pushed him away with a look of disgust. Zhang Tiansheng was also unhappy. She was the wife he had won 'openly', so what was wrong with a kiss? But because everyone was watching, Zhang Tiansheng could only suppress his dissatisfaction.
Wait until she gets married, and then I’ll see how I’ll deal with her! Zhang Tiansheng thought bitterly.
Aunt Pang hired a fortune teller to calculate an auspicious date, and the wedding was set for half a month later. When everything was settled, Xu Xingchen felt exhausted and prepared to go back without saying goodbye to anyone.
When passing behind the stage, I heard Zhang Tiansheng's voice.
"Her cousin, I wronged you before. This time, thanks to you, when I marry your cousin, I will definitely not treat you, my brother-in-law, unfairly."
Xu Xingchen only felt that the blood in his limbs was instantly drained away, and the cold was biting to the bone.
