“So? You just came back with him?” Doughnut crossed his arms, a rare fierce look on his face, white-tipped fingers poking at her head in a near snarl, “No good, Tooth, you’re getting more and more worthless wow.”

Ya Xiao hugged Doraemon, her chin poking at its round head, and let out a long sigh. Tuanzi was right, she really was quite useless. After work that day, they took the coach overnight to the small house they had originally lived in, and hadn’t been gone long enough for everything inside to remain as it was. The pots and pans they bought together are still there, the New Year’s couplets are also vivid colors, the wall is her don’t on the Chinese knot, the window glass is still sticking on the red windowpane he put up. She remembers buying in a hurry, to paste the time to realize that there is no paste at home, she will use groundnut flour boiled into a thick paste, cooled and put aside for spare. I didn’t expect him to come out of the shower and see it, and he drank it without asking. After she finished her work, she only saw an empty bowl, and he was still smacking his lips on the side, asking if there was more. She embarrassed bad, and then the bad eye up, wailed out and said, you’re a hungry ghost ah, how do you boil my paste drink away wow! At that time, his face was green, the expression like want to vomit and in the way of the image do not dare to vomit, in short, colorful wonderful – she now think about it is also will poof out of laughter.

Tuanzi kicked her in the face, “Still laughing, you’re being eaten to death and you’re still laughing!”

Ya Xiao tucked her hands into Doraemon’s treasure bag, “Tuanzi, when he found me, I could tell he was angry, that face just didn’t look right. I was ready to have a big fight or fight with him at that point, even though I knew he most likely wouldn’t fight me. Even if he did, I wouldn’t be the one to get beat up. I just want to find an excuse to take the opportunity to get out of the fire. But instead of that he ……” she flung her face into the back of Doraemon’s head, rubbing her face red, “and just that one shocked me silly …… ”

She was sitting under a tree at the time, watching him just approach. A dusty, tired brow settled, the expression on his face was cold with annoyance hidden in it. She hadn’t expected him to find her so quickly and catch her in the act. But she soon calmed down, so what if she found him? He would only question her a few times, and yell at her a few times when his temper got the better of him, and the worst thing he could do was to shamelessly drag her away in front of so many people. But the closer he got, the more the look on his face changed. From anger to concern, then from concern to relief, and finally just calm. Then he slowly bent his knees in front of her until he had to look up at her. She was so shocked by his unexpected move that she nearly burst a blood vessel, and her heart still beats in her chest even now when she thinks back on it.

Compared to the sweetness of Ya Xiao’s memories, Tuan Zi was furious, “What’s so shocking about that? Scary! I would have slapped him and kicked him in the face, but at that point, he only asked you to go back with him and didn’t even take the opportunity to propose! It’s just too much of a waste of time!”

She laughed out loud, “You think so too! At that time, looking at his posture I thought he was proposing, but it turned out that he just asked me to go home with him. Although a little disappointed …… but troupe na, if he managed to propose to me, I really don’t know how to respond to him.”

“What how to respond? You no-good, thanks to you used to say I’m soft and spineless, you’re worse than me.” Tuanzi jumped up excitedly, waving his hands, “Remember how this guy abused you back then? Tell him that if he wants to get married, he has to be abused by you first! How he abused you in the first place you abuse me back! Hold him down and strip him naked!”

“…… That’s abusing myself, isn’t it.”

“I’m not done yet,” Doughnut huffed and stood up with his arms crossed, “You’ve got to strap him down and then strip him naked!”

“………… Doughnut, stop talking.”

“Don’t interrupt me!” Tuanzi crossed her arms, the king’s dominance was revealed, “After stripping naked, you’ll put on a leather whip and drip candles.”

Ya Xiao no longer dared to look at the doughnut that was so excited that it was about to explode, “Quickly don’t say it …………”

“Why don’t you say it!”

“Say, continue to say, after whipping and candles, what other tools that are convenient for her to operate can be used on me.

She had been walking quickly after leaving the group’s place, deliberately keeping some distance from him. When she reached the car, she pulled open the rear door after a slight hesitation and sat in. Shan Yanxiu glanced at her with just a glance and sat in the driver’s seat.

Ya Xiao looked out the window at the receding scenery and spoke, “Can you not be like that in the future? You’re scaring her.” As she walked away, she saw Tuanzi curled up behind Hwa Hyun, still shivering.

“Just kidding.”

She rubbed her forehead, “A joke? With that expression on your face, that’s a joke?” He didn’t answer her and seemed intent on just starting to concentrate on driving. She too fell silent, but after ten minutes or so he suddenly spoke up and asked.

“Do you want to get married?”

What an idiot! What kind of person asks that all of a sudden?

She closed her eyes and played dead. He was still not dead, “Don’t pretend to be asleep, answer my question.” She didn’t say a word and continued to play dead.

He parked the car on the side of the road and twisted his head, “Xiao Xiao, speak.”

She lifted her eyelids and slammed him with a blank stare, “What do you mean I’m eager to get married? I’m not a leftover woman so what’s my hurry? Which one of your eyes sees that I want to get married? Which eye can you see that I am anxious to get married? Open your eyes and take a good look at me, just based on my appearance – will I not be able to get married? I’m in a hurry to get married? You have no brain!” Said later is with roar, face all red.

“I didn’t say you couldn’t get married.” He defended, “I merely heard you say–”

“You’re so shameless, you actually eavesdropped on me!” She was outraged, “What did you hear?”

“I ……”

“Which ear did you hear that I’m dying to get married? When did I say I’m dying to get married?” She was aggressive, “Don’t you dare say I can’t get married?!”

“I didn’t mean that, I just ……”

“Asshole! That’s what you meant!” She was furious, “You said I was in a hurry to get married, but you weren’t being sarcastic about me not being able to get married!” She hated it so much that she threw two pillows out with her hands and smashed them head on into his face.

“I’m just asking if you’re eager to get married.” Shan Yanxiu blocked her attack, a hint of hopelessness in his tone, “It’s you who are thinking nonsense.”

“In short, that’s what you meant!” She yelled, “Wanting to get married very much means being in a hurry to get married, and being in a hurry to get married is mostly because you can’t get married, and you still dare to say that you’re not being sarcastic!”

“I ……”

“I’ll tell you right now, I’m not unable to get married, I’m not in a hurry to get married” He said before as if she hated to get married and couldn’t wait to get married right away, right …… away and marry him. This kind of idea if the implementation, that is not she indirectly tube his marriage proposal? No, absolutely can’t let him have this kind of cognition. “I, I don’t want to get married na! I don’t want to now, and I don’t want to later!”

“Then what about me?”

“What?”

“I want to get married,” he looked at her and said with extra clarity, word for word, “I want to get married very much.” He admitted that he did move to propose that day. He remembered that he had rushed at her in anger, but every time he took a step forward, the anger inexplicably subsided a little. Later on, the anger melted away, leaving only happiness. Glad that she was unharmed, and glad that he had finally found her. And in that moment, it became clear that he could never lose her again.

Ya Xiao froze, nothing but silliness in her large black and white eyes, which were gurgling out in glee at the moment.

“I would love to marry you.” He repeated, “Would you?”

“I …… you, is this, is this a proposal, a marriage proposal?” She slurred a little, “You …… you’re such a …… demon, you’re so unprofessional. At least go online and look up the proposal strategy and make notes before you do it. Look at this kind of time, place, occasion, and the padding done before, it’s simply a predictable cupcake ah. Ya Xiao silently whacked him in her heart and lowered her head again.

“Willing?” He refused to relax the death bite, had to force a result.

“I …… I can think about it no?” She struggled in her dying breath, “Just for a moment.”

He fixedly looked at her for a full minute before opening his mouth and asking, “Think about it?”

“Just a little bit more, life events, always have to think about it.” Can’t say yes to him so quickly, must grind this man! Otherwise, he thought she was easy to bully, and casually rubbed her round and pinched her flat.

“Well then, you continue to think slowly, I first drive the car over.” He didn’t rush her, he turned around and stepped back into the driver’s seat and started the car, “It’s a great day, I guess I’ll have to take a number and get in line first.”

“Go where? Line up for what?”

“Civil Affairs Bureau, line up to get a license.”
