"Guan Bao, are you really going to get engaged to Qiao Qiao?"
Si Niannian's words echoed in Guan Bao's mind several times.
His lips moved up and down slightly, wanting to say like before, 'Of course, I have determined to make Qiao Qiao my bride since I was a child. '
But he found that now he could not say these words.
"The Su family has encountered a crisis. Marriage can help the Su family overcome this difficulty." This was the answer Guan Bao gave after thinking about it for a long time.
Then he felt like a jerk.
"Nian Nian, do you think I'm a scumbag?" Guan Bao lowered his head and couldn't see his expression clearly.
"Why do you say that?" Si Niannian asked, "What is scum?"
Guan Bao raised his head, "Just... Qiaoqiao and I are about to get engaged, but we use Su's crisis to explain the reason for the engagement, as if we are blaming Qiaoqiao for everything. I feel like shit just thinking about it."
Mom was right, he was a complete scumbag.
Si Niannian was puzzled, "Why is this a scumbag? Everything has a reason. You just told the reason why you and Qiaoqiao got engaged. Why are you a scumbag?"
Guan Bao didn't know how to explain this to Si Niannian.
"Just... the reason why I got engaged was not because of love. If I wasn't a scumbag, when you asked me just now, I should have said that I love Qiaoqiao, that's why I got engaged to her."
"love?"
This is a new word, appearing for the first time in Si Niannian's world.
Guan Bao lowered his head again, "Actually... Oh! Forget it, it's already like this anyway. By the way, I may have to be late for your birthday party tomorrow. Qiao Qiao is on a mission in Meicheng and asked me to pick her up."
Si Nian Nian thought for a moment, "Can't you ask someone else to pick you up?"
"What's wrong?"
"Guan Bao, can you come over early tomorrow? I have something to show you."
Si Niannian's expression was serious, and Guan Bao swallowed his words of rejection.
He vaguely felt something, and he always felt that if he didn't go, he would regret it for the rest of his life.
"Okay." Guan Bao nodded.
After Si Niannian returned home, An Luo was still practicing dancing in the room. In order to surprise Si Niannian, she did not let him enter the room.
"What? Is that brat still absent this year?"
Si Mu'en walked to Si Niannian, who was playing with the medicine field alone in the backyard.
Si Niannian didn't raise his head and continued to water the herbs.
"Brother Su will come back."
Si Muen curled his lips, "You say that every time, but it's been five years and he hasn't even seen his shadow. Apart from sending someone an emerald key every year on your birthday, what else has he done? "
With that said, Si Muen handed over a box.
"Here, take it. This year's key was sent to me just now."
Si Niannian quickly raised his head and took it happily.
"Look, I told you that Brother Su would never forget my birthday."
Seeing his sister's excitement, Si Mu'en felt even more dissatisfied.
"That brat is really good at saving things. One gift lasts for several years. I just give you a key every year, haha."
You brat, you actually left my sister alone for so many years and made her so worried.
"Brother, don't scold Brother Su." Si Niannian looked at him.
Si Mu'en felt aggrieved, "I didn't scold you, I didn't say anything."
"But I know that you scolded him in your heart."
Si Niannian made a face at him, then returned to the room holding the box.
