“Xiao Mei, my second brother may be cold as ice, but Wang Dazhi doesn’t count on him. Can my second brother, as cold as he is, freeze Wang Xiaohong?”
“If you marry, you should take responsibility. Otherwise, what’s the point of marriage?” Xiao Qian argued.
“He’s fulfilled his responsibilities as a husband. Money, material things, work- what hasn’t he given her? Has Wang Xiaohong fulfilled her duties as a wife, even just one?”
“Haha, so giving some money makes him a good husband? Why bother getting married then? Just buy sex with money. Docs he have any reason for the cold violence in his family?” Xiao Qian sneered.
“Who started out like this? Although I don’t know the real purpose of my second brother marrying her, he tried to get close to her when they first got married. She was such a drama queen. I have never seen anyone like her before.”
“Can’t he communicate properly?”
“That’s my second brother’s personality. He speaks a few times with no effect; then he doesn’t want to speak anymore. When Wang Dazhi forced her into my family home, his sister was already sick. If she didn’t marry my second brother and married another man, would she still be like this? Should we blame my second brother or the real culprit who hurt her?”
“Didn’t he take her to see a psychologist?”
“When they first got married, he took her to a neurologist. Before they even went inside the room, she scratched my second brother, saying he was mocking her as a lunatic. My mom took Panpan for a medical check, and she cried saying my mom suspected her. My second brother got so mad about this, even though he is very filial.”
“If he’s so filial, why did he find someone to upset your parents?”
“My second brother isn’t omniscient; he can’t know the future. Her brother said if she gets some compensation and marries a good man, she’ll be fine. But my second brother believed him. How could he expect friends to betray friends? You said it was half a pound. I haven’t expressed my opinion, now I state my position. Can women not feel like they’re marrying an omnipotent god, asking for tolerance while never looking at what they’ve done for men?”
“Yu Minglang, what position are you talking about? What do you mean by ‘what kind of women’? Like us, God-like perfect women can do everything, so if men don’t tolerate us and cheer us up, what’s the point of having you? There are plenty of cucumbers at the wet market for one yuan per three jin, with thorns and flowers!”
Xiao Qian was annoyed by his sweeping generalization.
“Chen Xiaoqian! Why are you so good at picking words? Is it not okay to say the wrong thing by mistake? I was talking about women like Wang Xiaohong, not you! If I say something wrong, you can hit me a few times, but you can’t disgust me! Can the feeling of me looking at you and my second brother looking at Wang Xiaohong be the same? Why do you have to compare with those two? It’s so disgusting. You’re as perfect as a goddess, and it’s only right for me to cherish you. What’s Wang Xiaohong?”
“What’s your feeling when you look at me?” Xiao Qian saw that he didn’t finish his words and brought the topic back, so she wouldn’t waste half a day off on arguing.
“Stop pretending you don’t know!”
“So fake serious…”
“You, look at me!”
He hugged Xiao Qian and let the two have a frame in the car mirror.
“What am I looking at, how white I am compared to you?” Xiao Qian only saw this.
“Talented man and beautiful woman, mutual affection, understand? We have feelings; they don’t. Xiao Mei, don’t be afraid. I will take good care of you no matter what, and I will not let you develop like Wang Xiaohong until your illness is out of control. Whoever likes to use the thorny cucumber, go ahead. As long as I’m alive, you don’t think about using that!”
Xiao Qian’s face turned a little red. She thought she’d hidden it well, trying to probe him using his second brother’s affairs and telling him in various ways that taking care of mentally ill people wasn’t easy and required more tolerance. But he found out.
“You have such a smooth tongue! If your second brother were like you, maybe Wang Xiaohong would have been fine.” Xiao Qian was comforted by his mildly sarcastic love words.
“Don’t bluff; he can’t say these things. If you ask him to speak, he’d be as good as dead, haha!” Yu Minglang knew his icy second brother well.
“That’s not necessarily true. Maybe Wang Xiaohong doesn’t have the ability to enlighten your second brother, but perhaps someone else can!”
“If he could see the light, honestly, Xiao Mei, I’d wash your socks for a lifetime! Even when pigs start to talk, he won’t change!”
“A lifetime is so long, don’t speak so absolutely. Who knows what the future holds!” Xiao Qian argued hard but agreed with his point in her heart. Second brother Yu changing his ways…
It’s so difficult!
Xiao Qian guessed that he wouldn’t take her to a good place. She was prepared to be dragged up the mountain or to taste farmhouse cuisine.
But when Yu Minglang parked the car in a place with broken tiles and bricks, looking like ruins, Xiao Qian was speechless.
“Yu Minglang, is this where you take me on our first date?”
This place, backed by mountains and uninhabited, looks like it’s perfect for killing and burying bodies, right?
An abandoned school, surrounded by a babbling stream and a mountain not far away. The tall wild grass shows it hasn’t been visited for a long time. It rained last night, so the ground is muddy and unattractive, desolate, and ghastly – like a ghost movie scene.
“How about it? An utterly unique idea, right? Xiao Mei, I’m giving you all my youthful memories. Aren’t you moved, Xiao Mei?”
Why does his Xiao Mei look at him with such contemptuous eyes?!
Yu Minglang’s original plan was to use the two-day vacation to take Xiao Qian mountain climbing. Ideally, she would be tired, and he could show off his strong strength by carrying her back. Xiao Mei would definitely like him even more.
But he wasted a day, and it rained last night too, so the plan was abandoned.
After some thought, he decided to take her fishing here, showing off his wilderness survival skills. Then take her to see where he attended middle school and reminisce about their youth. It’s simply perfect.
Books say that you must show your strengths in love. Yu Minglang, who works mostly at the unit, might expose his ignorance if he simply goes shopping and eats like a normal person.
He didn’t have other skills but wild survival. Bringing Xiao Mei here to fish and make fish soup for her, Xiao Mei would surely worship him, right? Xiao Mei would definitely like him more!
Yu Minglang took Xiao Qian out of the car, feeling her anxious gaze on him. But on closer examination, her look seemed different from admiration.
Xiao Qian looked at him askance.
“Yu Xiaoqiang, can I interview you about what was going on in your head when you decided to bring me to this place?”
He was a real oddball. A normal person would have a meal and go shopping on their first date. Xia Qian wondered what he was thinking, driving for so long to take her to an abandoned school in the mountains. What did he want to do?
This place was so desolate that a few people could be hidden in the grass. If Xiao Qian weren’t so brave, a more timid girl might be scared to death. The place looked rather bleak.
“When I was in middle school, the family home was in the mountains. At the time, there was a factory in the mountains, and we went to school with the workers’ children. Now it looks abandoned, but it was very lively back in the day with both middle and primary schools together. After the unit relocated, the factory also moved, so this area was abandoned.”
Yu Minglang reflected on his old school fondly.
From the trunk, he took out his fishing tools and waterproof camouflage cloth. Finally, he pulled out a huge camouflage bag.
“You didn’t bring all your wilderness survival tools, did you?” Xiao Qian was speechless..
