âLiuli, wake up!â Lin Yu called out.
âYeah, Mom said she needs to wake up early because she has a lot to do,â Liuli replied, rubbing her eyes.
âDad, did you not sleep last night?â Liuli asked, noticing her fatherâs red eyes.
âNo, I just woke up as well,â Yu Zhiyuan shook his head. âDid you sleep well?â âThatâs good. Dad, are you feeling like Mom, missing me already?â âMy mom is the sweetest! She doesnât want to let me go, but she keeps saying she wants me to get married soon!â âWell, Iâm not marrying someone far away. 1 can come home for dinner every day with the convenience of the car.â âDad, think about it. I can even marry Brother Moxi.â âWhen his father retires, Brother Moxi will take charge of the company.â âThen we can just sit at home and count the money. It would be wonderful!â Liuli tried to console her father.
âGood, very good!â Yu Zhiyuan nodded.
âDonât be sad, Dad. Letâs go and have breakfast together. Mom said she made some delicious food!â Liuli suggested, and they both headed downstairs.
It was Liuliâs favorite dish.
Liuli ate an extra bowl more than usual.
After breakfast, she had to do her makeup, style her hair, change into the brideâs attire, and wear the ornaments. Then she would pay respects to her ancestors. It was a busy process.
When everything was done, Liuli sat in her room, patiently waiting for Mr. Tang to marry her.
She had felt a bit sad in the morning, but now she was starting to feel bored.
So she decided to pass the time by using her cell phone.
Duoduo was online as well.
Liuli initiated a conversation with Duoduo.
âHey, how was your winter break?â âIâve been getting drunk every day!â replied Duoduo on the other end of the internet.
â?â Liuli asked, confused.
âDidnât you? Weâve been having endless gatherings with classmates from elementary, middle, and high school. Weâve been drinking nonstop!â âMaha, not really! I just went shopping with a few high school classmates!â âYouâre so unpopular!â âCome join me, Iâll treat you well every day!â âMaha, no thanks, I donât know how to drink!
âThen letâs have fun together!!!
âHave you finished your winter break homework?â âWhat? You have winter break homework?â âYes, we have to write a practical report for the break!â âOh no, I completely forgot about it. Canât I just write about my Winter Holiday Adventure?â âMaha, as long as the counselor accepts it!â âOh, by the way, have you checked the results?â Duoduo asked.
âOh really? The results are out?â âOf course! Spring Festival is just around the corner, and 1 passed all of them! I even got
90 points in two subjects. Congratulate me!â âWhen 1 finish my investigation and pass all of them, then congratulations to me too!â âJust do it and let me know when youâre finished.â âDuoduo, do you really think Iâll fail?â âThatâs impossible! If you donât aim for excellence and only settle for passing, you should be ashamed of yourself. Are you one of us?â âFine, itâs my fault. I should have said that if you donât score above 90, how will you survive?â âGo away.â
Liuli and Duoduo were in the midst of their conversation when they heard the sound of firecrackers. They realized that the groom had arrived to marry the bride.
Liuli quickly replied to Duoduo.
âIâll talk to you later. Itâs an emergency.â
She then put her cellphone away.
She didnât see Duoduoâs responseâ¦
âWhat kind of emergency? Youâre not telling me you failed the exam, are you?â
Later, Liuli blamed Duoduo for being a jinx.
If she hadnât said those things, maybe she wouldnât have failed the exam.
Can you believe it?
She scored over 80 in every subject during the final exam of the first semester of college, with some even above 90.
But she only got 59 in English.
How absurd!
Liuli was about to open the door and go downstairsâ¦
But she was stopped and pushed back into the bedroom by the relatives outside.
What was happening?
Was she not allowed to meet the groom?
It was only then that Liuli learned that the bridesmaids and the brideâs relatives had intercepted the groom and his entourage at the door.
She had planned to give them a hard time and demand lots of red envelopes before letting them in.
Oops, that was incorrect. She was supposed to open the door for the groom and the wedding procession.
Liuli had fantasized about being a bridesmaid in the future.
She could even be the maid of honor and make the groom wait at the door, refusing to give him any red envelopes.
That way, she could patiently wait to receive red envelopes and count the money until her hands grew weak.
But now she was disappointed once again.
Apparently, it was not appropriate for a married woman to be a maid of honor.
Liuli was furious!
She had never been a maid of honor before!
All her dreams of receiving red envelopes vanished!
It was too unfair!
Someone knocked on the door.
Liuli wondered if it was someone coming to relay a message.
So she called out, âCome in, the door is open!â
As the door opened, Liuli sat up straight and looked towards it. In the next moment, she was taken aback.
It was none other than Tang Moxi, the groom, dressed in traditional attire.
Liuli was startled. She sized up Tang Moxi and burst into laughter. It was the first time for her to see Mr. Tang dressed like this. He looked very funny! Haha!
She was so excited that she knocked over the chair she was sitting on.
That caused a loud sound in the room.
Startled, Liuli got embarrassed. She put up the chair and explained.
âSorry, I didnât do that on purpose!â âIt is okay, I am getting used to that!â Tang Moxi answered with a half-smile.
âWellâ¦âLiuli threw a rebellious look at Tang Moxi.
Mr. Tang, when can you stop teasing me?
At this moment, Tang Moxi walked in and came to her. He looked down at Liuli and said.
âYou look beautiful today!
Liuli flushed. She had wanted to say that her husband looked very handsome today. But what she blurted out wasâ¦
âI was born beautiful and there is nothing I can do about itf!â
Liuli acted as if she had lost herself.
She lowered her head as if thinking over the atonement.
At this moment, Tang Moxiâs gentle voice arose.
âLiuli, you are my wife from this day on. We are going to love each other and we are going to grow old together.â
Moved, Liuli looked up at Tang Moxi but felt like laughing.
âUncle, you have never proposed to me!â
Then came Tang Moxiâs hearty laughter, and then he whispered by her ears.
âWe have already slept together. Isnât this bigger than a proposal?â
Liuli was dumbfounded.
She felt that she had been stricken hard on the head!
The door was opened, and Tang Moxi walked out of the bedroom with Liuli in his arms.
The people guarding outside burst into applause and cheers.
Liuli had not yet recovered from the shock before she got startled again.
Tang Moxi carried her downstairs to pay respects to the ancestors and then they served the tea to the seniors.
In the end, Tang Moxi carried Liuli out of the Yu familyâs residence and they went into the wedding car together.
Liuli did not seem to realize what was going on until this moment. She lifted the drapery and looked out of the window, looking at her parents and Grandma.
She suddenly burst into tears.
She had not thought much about this before, because she had not expected that it was a big deal.
As she went onto the wedding car and saw Grandma and her parents standing outside, she suddenly felt as if she were really going to leave them.
It felt as if they were never going to be together again.
She could not help but burst into tears.
âLiuli, be a good wife!â Lin Yu said but could not continue.
Tears came out of her eyes too.
Yu Zhiyuan held her and looked at his precious daughter with red eyes.
This tough man from the Yu family could not stand the fact that his precious daughter was getting married.
Liuli nodded but could not utter a word.
âGrandma, Dad, Mom, I will take good care of Liuli!â Tang Moxi answered.
Yu Zhiyuan nodded.
âJingxing, please take care of Liuli from now on.â Grandma said.
âDonât worry, Grandma!â Tang Moxi turned around and answered.
âIt is time to leave!â
At this moment, the matchmaker came up and reminded her, whilst saying a few nice words.
The bridal team were leaving the Yu familyâs residence.
Seeing the wedding car driving away and disappearing from her sight, Lin Yu could not stand still any more.
She had been holding on until this moment, when she suddenly felt that her energy had been drained out of her completely.
Liuli did not look away until Grandma and her parents were gone.
Tang Moxi hugged her and Liuli, who was in Tang Moxiâs arms, started to cry.
She felt so terrible, as if her world had collapsed.
âGirl, letâs take a break, okay?â âOr Grandpa Tang will think that I am bullying you seeing you like this!â Tang Moxi consoled her.
âYou are!â Liuli said without feeling embarrassment.
âTell me, how am I bullying you?â Tang Moxi asked Liuli with a small smile.
Liuli got stuck in words when asked by Tang Moxi.
In the end, she blurted out.
âYou are bullying me when you decide to marry me!â
Tang Moxi looked at Liuli, who could not help but shiver.
For some reason, she suddenly felt that Mr. Tang had turned dark hearing this.
But to her surprise, it turned out she was imagining things, as Mr. Tangâs smile quickly returned. He playfully pinched her cheeks and remarked, âThen I guess Iâll just have to keep teasing you for the rest of our lives!â âUncle, please donât pinch my face, I donât want to ruin my makeup!â Liuli gently pulled down Tang Moxiâs hands and protested.
âYouâre worrying about your makeup now that youâre already crying? Isnât that a little too late?â Tang Moxi teased with a smile.
âOh, really? Did I ruin it? Is my face a mess?â Liuli grew anxious, leaning closer to the window to examine her reflection.
The window wasnât very clear, so Tang Moxi took out his phone, activated the front camera, and handed it to her.
Liuli looked at Tang Moxi, initially puzzled by his actions, before realizing what he had done. She accepted the phone and used the camera as a makeshift mirror.
To her relief, her makeup remained intact, but her eyes were visibly swollen from crying. She couldnât help but exclaim, âI look so ugly, like a frog!â
Tang Moxi burst into laughter..
