Wei Nian said to Chen Xuan, "I was looking at you and wanted to talk, but you suddenly rushed over and kissed me. I couldn't avoid you, but what could I do? I had to let you bully me. You are still like this, what do you mean, are you trying to force me to death? If you ignore me again, I will jump into the North Sea tonight."
Chen Xuan covered her face with a towel, her face was red as if it was about to explode, but Chen Xuan did not lose her mind, "It was definitely not me who took the initiative, stop slandering me." Maybe the impact of the first kiss in her life was too great, Chen Xuan could not remember who took the initiative no matter how hard she tried.
"You were the one who took the initiative. You have treated me like this, so you have to be responsible." Wei Nian would not give up until Chen Xuan gave him an explanation.
Well, since the two of them had kissed, Chen Xuan felt that since they had done such a thing, they had to give each other an explanation. Chen Xuan covered her face for a while, and when she felt a little better, she put down the towel and talked seriously with Wei Nian about her future plans. Chen Xuan tried hard to raise her head. If she didn't support her neck hard, her face would fall to the ground. It was so embarrassing that she actually kissed a man! It has to be said that Chen Xuan's growth is huge. After more than two years in Beijing, she has grown from a closed rural girl to a semi-modernized woman with clear logic and can remain rational even when kissing a man. Moreover, Chen Xuan dared to do and dared to take responsibility. Chen Xuan said, "It's like this about the kiss. You can't blame me entirely. You must have seduced me again. I told you to stay away from me, but you didn't listen. So, you also have to take half the responsibility!"
Wei Nian suppressed the laughter in his stomach and nodded, "Okay, then I'll take half the responsibility. But you're not going to deny it, are you?" As he spoke, he glanced at Chen Xuan with a sidelong glance, as if he didn't believe Chen Xuan.
"I didn't deny it. But we have to take it step by step, right?" Chen Xuan thought for a moment, "We've kissed each other, and I want to spend my whole life with you. Brother Anian, you know me. I'm honest and sincere. As long as we get married, I'll be devoted to you. Can you promise me the same?"
"Of course!" Wei Nian didn't hesitate at all.
"That's fine, let's take the small table away today." Wei Nian was delighted at first, and Chen Xuan added, "But you have to behave yourself. If you don't behave yourself, put the small table back."
Although he failed to do it right away, Wei Nian was afraid that Chen Xuan would regret it again, so he immediately made it clear, "Then it's settled." He immediately moved the small kang table downstairs. Chen Xuan said, "Why move it downstairs now? We haven't had dinner yet."
Wei Nian pulled her hand and said, "To celebrate the small kang table being moved down from the kang, let's go out for dinner today. It's my treat."
Chen Xuan wanted to hold back her anger, but she couldn't. She curled her lips and went out to eat hand in hand with Wei Nian. However, they didn't eat a big meal at the Six Nations Hotel. They just found an authentic ramen restaurant and had a bowl of cold noodles each.
The two of them were getting even sweeter. Chen Xuan had to pretend to not care when she talked to Wei Yin about Xu Run's marriage. Chen Xuan acted quite well, "I've heard Mrs. Xu talk about it before. I wonder when her marriage will be held?"
"What kind of marriage?"
"The marriage of the eldest son of the Xu family." Chen Xuan asked, "The eldest son of the Xu family is not young anymore, right?"
How can I describe Wei Yin's expression at that time? The color faded in an instant, and she looked as fragile as porcelain that would break at the slightest touch. Chen Xuan's heart was beating wildly at that time, fearing that Wei Yin would get sick from anger after hearing this. Chen Xuan quickly patted Wei Yin's back and called her twice, "Ah Yin, Ah Yin."
Wei Yin slowly came back to his senses, his throat hoarse, his voice trembling, "Second sister-in-law, are you saying that Xu Run has already been engaged?"
"Yes, I heard she's a girl from Mr. Xu's friend's family." Chen Xuan said as she looked at Wei Yin's face, and saw that her face was gradually getting red, but her eyes were getting colder. Chen Xuan couldn't help but worry, and after a long while, Wei Yin said, "What a pity for such a good lace."
Chen Xuan looked over and saw that Wei Yin's hands had used too much force to twist a piece of freshly cut lace into pieces.
Wei Yin stood up and walked out of the store. Chen Xuan quickly put down her work and followed. Wei Yin didn't know how long she walked until her calves were sore. She found a roadside coffee shop and sat down. Chen Xuan was afraid that something might happen to her, so she sat down too. Wei Yin was always smart. After walking for most of the day, she understood what was going on and asked, "Second sister-in-law, when did you know?"
"I don't know that. Your second brother told me. He was afraid that if he told you directly, you would misunderstand that he wanted to break you up. But if he didn't tell you, he was worried that you would suffer, so he asked me to tell you quietly." The waiter came forward, and Chen Xuan ordered a cup of Wei Yin's favorite black coffee, and only wanted water for herself. Chen Xuan advised Wei Yin, "I think the eldest brother of the Xu family is not an honest man. Don't let such a person make you angry."
"I'm so pissed off!" Wei Yin definitely had a bad temper. Chen Xuan might not know this in his previous life, but Wei Yin died young because of the Lu family's marriage and Xu Run's affairs.
Chen Xuan comforted Wei Yin, "Fortunately, we know his true face. Don't bother with such people in the future. I'll go with you to your art class next time."
"I just hate that I can't vent my anger!"
Chen Xuan had a way to deal with this kind of thing. In the countryside, if a younger sister suffered a loss, her brothers would have to take action. Chen Xuan said, "I'll tell your second brother to help you beat up the Xu family kid."
Wei Yin nodded, "That's good too."
Although Wei Yin was in favor of free love, she was definitely not the type to seduce a married man. Wei Yin was a very dignified person, and surprisingly, Xu Run had the nerve to come to Wei Yin. Wei Yin wanted to slap him twice, and whispered, "Don't ask me to make a fuss! What do you mean! You're engaged, and you still dare to show me your affection!"
Xu Run pleaded in a low voice, "Ah Yin, my marriage is a traditional one. I will find a way to dissolve it."
"If I were the kind of person who would let a man break off his marriage and marry me, I would be so touched. But today I tell you that I am not that kind of person! Get out of here!" Wei Yin pushed Xu Run away and said coldly, "If you dare to pester me again, I will tell Uncle Xu about this!" Then he walked away.
Wei Yin still had some consideration for his sister, but Wei Nian didn't care about that. Since Wei Nian knew that his sister's brain was not damaged, he immediately took action and told the matter directly to Mr. Xu. Wei Nian did not hide anything for Xu Run. "Arun was also my classmate when I was a child. He is not an honest boy. Ah Yin is silly and has no idea that he is married. I saw the two of them walking on the university campus and thought something was wrong, so I asked Ah Yin. Ah Yin was very angry. Free love is not a big deal now, but Arun is married, which is not okay. Ah Yin talked to him, but he kept nagging and always pestering Ah Yin. Ah Yin was very angry. If I hadn't persuaded her, she would have come to you to reason. Please take care of Arun. Has this boy become stupid because of studying? Does the marriage arranged by his family have to be bad? My eldest brother and my eldest sister-in-law, I and my wife, we were all arranged by our families. Which one of us is doing badly? Especially my wife, if my family hadn't arranged a marriage for me and asked me to find one myself, I would never have found such a good marriage."
Mr. Xu was also a man who cared about his reputation. Fortunately, he was not too narrow-minded, otherwise he would not be able to send six children to a new-style school. Mr. Xu sighed, "This evil creature! Don't worry, An Nian, I will definitely keep him under control."
Wei Nian put the small note written by Xu Run to his sister on the small table next to Master Xu and left. On the small note was a very famous poem by the great poet Yun: I will look for my only partner in the vast sea of people. If I find you, I will be lucky. If I don't, I will die.
To Wei Nian, he is simply a psychopath.
The great poet Yun was a sick man himself. He divorced his good wife and married a fashionable socialite. As a result, his life became a mess. If the great poet Yun was like this, how could those who studied with him be any worse
How can this be good!
Wei Nian had to teach his sister clearly when he had time, "Now you are starting to learn how to do business, and we often attend salons. In the future, you will meet more and more people. You have to learn to judge people. As for Xu Run, fortunately we are close and know each other well, so you didn't suffer any loss. If a man approaches you in the future, you have to be careful. The older ones must have wives, and we are not the kind of people who want to break up other people's families. Even a fool like Xu Run may get married early. Many men nowadays don't have any shame. If you like someone in the future, tell me first, I will help you find out the details, and I will not stop you from loving freely."
Wei Yin was a little embarrassed and nodded shyly. However, Wei Yin was also a little dissatisfied with her second brother and said to her second brother, "Second brother, why don't you slap that Xu for me?"
Wei Nian said, "Don't worry, nothing good will happen to him."
Mr. Xu and Old Master Wei are good friends. Mr. Xu is a scholar and Old Master Wei is a businessman. The reason why these two can be friends is because their values are very similar. Because they both have the same way of dealing with their disobedient sons - beating them up.
All of Xu Run's emotions were beaten away by his father.
Mrs. Xu felt sorry for her son, but she was also embarrassed in front of the Wei family. Fortunately, Wei Nian and Wei Yin had not told their family about this. Moreover, Wei Yin was a very decent girl. Although she hated Xu Run, she had no grudge against other people in the Xu family. She comforted Mrs. Xu privately, "Brother Arun couldn't understand it for a while. My second brother was very unhappy before he got married to my second sister-in-law, but now he is as close to my second sister-in-law as a family. Aunt, please arrange a marriage for Brother Arun, and he will understand." Xu Run was really annoying! In the past, Wei Yin envied those who could go to a new-style school to study, and of course Xu Run, a college student, was good in every way. Although Wei Yin did not go to a new-style school now, she was painting, learning French, participating in salons, and had some experience. She also went to Shanghai a few days ago. Now that she found out that Xu Run was married, although Wei Yin was very angry, she didn't feel anything. As for Xu Run's constant pestering, Wei Yin now hoped that Xu Run would get married as soon as possible! So annoying!
Mrs. Xu was sure that Wei Yin's heart towards her son was really cold. She also thought that Wei Yin was also a very good girl. She didn't know that her son was engaged before, but now that she knew, she immediately cut off all ties with him. It was also because they were not destined to be together, otherwise, Mrs. Xu would be very willing to this marriage.
Wei Yin said that he was not affected, but he lost weight in the summer.
Wei Nian originally wanted to ask about Professor Chu, but he didn't need to ask. Wei Nian had established a friendship with Professor Chu when he was recruiting students from the Department of Chemistry at the university, and since then he has entered Professor Chu's social circle. Professor Chu doesn't like to hold salons. Professor Chu's hobby is to hold tea parties, which is another name for salons.
When Wei Nian took Chen Xuan and Wei Yin to attend the tea party at Professor Chu's house, they had the honor of meeting Professor Chu's wife, Mrs. Chu, who had just come from her hometown with her children to reunite with her husband.
Wei Nian felt very regretful, as he had a very good impression of Professor Chu.
However, Wei Yin had no other thoughts about Professor Chu. Together with Chen Xuan, they chatted happily with Mrs. Chu. As for Professor Chu, he still treated every visitor with grace. Of course, with Mrs. Chu around, Professor Chu had to restrain his gentle demeanor towards girls.
Professor Chu was very happy to see that Chen Xuan and Wei Yin, the sisters-in-law, got along well with his wife. His wife had just come from her hometown and could not speak Beijing dialect fluently. Chen Xuan and Wei Yin were very fond of Mrs. Chu. First, Professor Chu was a good person and had helped the Wei family a lot. Second, although Mrs. Chu was an old-fashioned woman with bound feet from the countryside, she was a smart and meticulous person. Her speech and behavior were not conservative at all. She was also good at talking and chatting with people, but she spoke Beijing dialect a little slowly. Chen Xuan and Wei Yin were both patient people. After the tea party, they asked the shopkeeper Xiao Li to send a basket of strawberries, especially for Mrs. Chu and her two children. The card read: To the lovely Mrs. Chu and the little babies~
Wei Yin also drew a simple colored picture of a family of four holding hands, and said with deep emotion, "A man like Professor Chu is a good man in this era."
Mrs. Chu didn't quite understand what the strawberries were after she received them. It was only after Professor Chu explained them that Mrs. Chu finally understood. Mrs. Chu didn't know many words, but she knew some common words. When she saw the words and simple drawings on the card, she smiled and said, "This sister-in-law from the Wei family is really a good person."
"Well, you can interact more with them." said Professor Chu.
The biggest impact of Xu Run's incident on Wei Yin was that her family arranged several marriages for her, but Wei Yin refused any of them. Wei Yin said that if she couldn't find someone she liked, she would never get married and stay at home forever. Old Mrs. Wei was so worried that she wanted to go to the Yue Lao Temple to burn more incense for her little girl. Of course, she also had to burn a few incense for her second son. The second son's marriage was going smoothly, but it had been more than two years since the marriage, and why was his daughter-in-law still not pregnant
Old Mrs. Wei was still nagging at her husband at home, "At the beginning, I liked the name of the second daughter-in-law, daylily, which is a sign of a boy. How come we have been married for so long and there is no news?"
How would Old Master Wei know why there was no movement
However, the old couple did not need to rush, because, since the small kang table was removed, Wei Nian had already launched a charge towards a quilt.
Chen Xuan couldn't stand this rapid progress and firmly disagreed. It was too fast! Wei Nian gave her two choices: either she kissed him ten times a day, or she agreed to sleep in the same bed.
Chen Xuan hesitated for a moment, and Wei Nian said to her, "You always say that you are honest and a serious person. Am I not honest and serious? You said that you kissed me, so how could I have other intentions in my life except being with you? I kissed you, so I can take responsibility. You kissed me, but you don't plan to take responsibility?"
"I'm not irresponsible, but don't we have to take it slow?"
"You're too slow. Choose quickly. If you don't agree to kiss me, you can sleep in the same bed with me tonight."
“No way!”
"Then let's kiss."
Before Chen Xuan could even hesitate, Wei Nian immediately said, "You bullied me and abused me like this, and yet you still don't give me an explanation. If you don't agree, I'm going to jump into the North Sea tonight."
Chen Xuan couldn't stand the fact that Wei Nian was about to jump into the Beihai Sea, so she smiled and said, "Don't fool me. You don't have to jump into the Beihai Sea. I really like Brother Nian, but I just think it's a little too fast. We just kissed for a few days."
"Silly girl, do you have to count the days? It's a matter between men and women, we are both willing, we are a proper couple, what's wrong with that?" As there was no small table to hinder him, Wei Nian moved his butt to Chen Xuan's side, wanting to kiss her first, but Chen Xuan pushed Wei Nian's handsome face away with a serious face, and said solemnly, "In broad daylight, you can't be so indecent."
"Okay." Wei Nian moved closer, held Chen Xuan's hand and asked, "Tell Brother Anian when you started to like him."
Chen Xuan is really an honest person. "I don't really know. You have always treated me well, and I don't hate you in my heart. It's just that you told me before that we should live separately in the future, and I never thought about being together. Later, you changed your mind. I thought, if we live in the same room like this, if I look for someone else, people will say that I am a second-marriage. Brother Nian, you are so good, I am not blind. Although I am worried that you will change your mind in the future, as long as I study hard and do business well, I am not afraid even if you change your mind. Now there is no ban on women getting divorced. As long as I have knowledge and skills, I can still live on my own in the future."
"Pfft, pfft, what unlucky words you said. You're really thinking long-term about divorce before we're even together." Wei Nian said seriously, "I only like you, and I will never like anyone else."
"Then you must remember what you said." Chen Xuan reminded Wei Nian.
"Don't worry, if I change my mind, I will be struck by lightning." Wei Nian swore casually. Chen Xuan hurriedly said, "Don't talk nonsense."
The two of them got tired of each other for a while.
Although Chen Xuan doesn't say sweet words and isn't considered a modern woman, Wei Nian likes Chen Xuan's type and doesn't care about whether she's new or not. Wei Nian also thinks that Chen Xuan's old-fashioned woman's loyalty is good.
Wei Nian handed the cosmetics business over to Wei Yin, who had just broken up with her boyfriend and was very suitable for a career. Wei Nian took Chen Xuan to a jewelry store in Dong'an Market to buy jewelry. Wei Nian said, "I've wanted to buy it for you for a long time, but you're always so calculating, and I'm afraid that if I buy it for you, you'll convert it into dollars and count it as money you owe me. This is a token of our love." Wei Nian is always willing to spend money.
Chen Xuan's dowry consisted of two tiny silver earrings and two tiny silver bracelets. Now Chen Xuan rarely wears them. She mostly wears gold-plated and silver-plated fake jewelry from the store, as well as those with artificial pearls, which she thinks are pretty.
Wei Nian took her to a jewelry store, and Chen Xuan said, "We have all kinds of jewelry in our store. They are cheap and come in many styles."
"How can it be the same as what your man bought for you?" Wei Nian said, "Gold and silver are not popular now, diamonds are popular."
Chen Xuan said hurriedly, "Brother Anian, please buy me gold and silver. I like gold and silver." Chen Xuan still remembered clearly that Wei Nian said that gold is the most valuable. Chen Xuan didn't know much about diamonds, but she was familiar with gold and silver.
Wei Nian did not insist on this, "That's fine, let's buy the gold one."
Wei Nian's taste is always better than Chen Xuan's. The earrings, necklaces, bracelets and rings he picked for Chen Xuan are both delicate and unique. Chen Xuan also likes them very much. However, when trying on the rings, Chen Xuan used to do farm work all year round, and her finger joints are thick. She can't wear the existing female ring sizes. Chen Xuan said, "Or don't buy a ring. Rings don't look good on my hands."
Wei Nian knew that Chen Xuan had not had an easy life in the past, and he had held Chen Xuan's hand more than once. But at this moment, for some reason, he felt extremely sad. The pain spread from his heart. Wei Nian felt his throat dry and his eyes sore. Holding Chen Xuan's hand, Wei Nian said to the clerk, "Let's order a pair of rings."
