The whole matter passed over smoothly.
On the night that Ye Qianqian and Shen Zhilie returned to Kingstown, Old Mrs. Shen called. She seemed very happy and said to Shen Zhilie, âIâve arrived at a wedding date for the both of you! The fifth day of the third month is the best day of the year, according to Ye Qianqianâs horoscope! Itâs especially auspicious.â
Hearing the old ladyâs happy words, Shen Zhilie and Ye Qianqian smiled at each other.
The date that Old Mrs. Shen announced was the same date that Uncle Blind Man had given them two days ago.
It was the same day.
âAll right. Got it,â Shen Zhilie replied to his grandmother.
However, Old Mrs. Shenâs tone turned unhappy. She said, âWhat do you mean by âgot itâ? Arenât you happy that youâll be able to get married so soon?â
Shen Zhilie knew better than to tell her about Uncle Blind Man, so he quickly changed the topic. âGrandma, you said that itâs a really good day, but why?â
âWell, the time and place are perfectly aligned with Qianqianâs horoscope, and on that day, your horoscope will also help to complement hers. In fact, if you get married on that day, you may even be able to reverse her ill fortune!â
Shen Zhilie had turned on the speakerphone, and when Ye Qianqian heard what Grandmother had said, her eyes lit up.
What did that mean?
Her ill fortune could be reversed?
Ye Qianqian suddenly felt a glimmer of hope.
The word that Uncle Blind Man had repeated umpteen times resurfaced in her memory: Fate.
But if her ill-fortune was reversed, wouldnât that be an instance of fate, too?
Ye Qianqianâs spirits suddenly soared.
âAre you serious?â Shen Zhilie was ecstatic. âGrandma, youâre so awesome!â
Old Mrs. Shen laughed cheerily. âYouâve got to be kidding me,â she said. âOf course Iâm awesome! Oh, yes! Bring Qianqian back on the twenty-fifth of next month to get your marriage registered.â
âOn the Gregorian calendar?â
âYes, the Gregorian calendar.â
Shen Zhilie subconsciously walked over to his desk calendar and flipped though its pages. âThatâs a month from now,â he remarked.
âThatâs right. Itâs a good day, too, most suitable for registering your marriage.â The smile could be heard in Old Mrs. Shenâs voice. âAll right, I wonât chat with you any longer. Iâm going to look for Dongfang now.â
âHold on, Grandma...â
But before he could finish his sentence, Old Mrs. Shen had already hung up the phone.
There was nothing Shen Zhilie could do about it. However, the moment he turned around, something pounced on him.
Ye Qianqian had leapt over and declared joyously, âWeâre getting married!â
Shen Zhilie steadied her in his arms. Feeling exuberant, Ye Qianqian hooked her arms around him and shrieked, âWeâre getting married! Weâre getting married, Old Shen! Weâre registering our marriage next month!â
Shen Zhilie carried her in his arms and headed into the bedroom. âDidnât you say that you didnât care about the official papers?â he asked. âWhat made you change your mind so quickly?â
âHa ha!â Ye Qianqian cradled his head and replied happily, âHow could I not care about it, silly? I only said that to console you!â
Shen Zhilie lowered her onto the bed, but Ye Qianqian still kept her arms around him and refused to let go.
Images of their happily ever after played in her head.
However, Shen Zhilieâs face had turned red, and he eked out, âLet go of me! Are you out to kill your husband?â
âHa ha!â Ye Qianqian released him immediately. She took off her shoes and jacket before lying on the bed and opening a browser on her cellphone.
Shen Zhilie also removed his outerwear and climbed on top of her back. âWhat are you doing?â he asked.
âIâm checking what I need to do to prepare for the wedding, and whether or not we need to do a medical checkup before that,â Ye Qianqian replied with her eyes still glued to the screen.
âOkay. Letâs go tomorrow.â Shen Zhilie hugged her from behind. He snaked his hand under her clothes, and with his other hand, plucked the cell phone away from her. âThereâs no rush. Leave the checkup to me.â
Ye Qianqian turned around, but before she could say anything, Shen Zhilie silenced her with his lips.
âOh...â
