Today was the seventh day of the seventh lunar month. It was Chinese Saint Valentine's Day. Zheng Xiaoguang's company kindly let all of its employees have a day off today. As such, Zheng Xiaoguang slept until 10 am this morning. After lying in bed for another half an hour, she slowly got up.
She was left alone in the apartment, which had three bedrooms, one living room and one dining room. Her parents joined a package tour and left early in the morning. Most of her friends and relatives also went out to enjoy the festival.
She shuffled to the living room and watched TV to kill time. The moment she turned on the TV, she saw a family drama about mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. The vicious mother-in-law was pointing at the poor daughter-in-law and lambasting her, asking her to divorce her son.
Zheng Xiaoguang had seen this family drama before. This mother-in-law had despised her daughter-in-law since her son had gotten married to this girl.
Zheng Xiaoguang failed to stop Blooming Pear Tree. When they reached A City, it was 5:00 pm and it was getting dark. Shortly afterwards, they came to Bluegreen-Clad's house. Blooming Pear Tree got out of his car first, and Zheng Xiaoguang quickly caught up with him. When Blooming Pear Tree pushed the door open, she what stunned by what she saw. It looked like a classic love scene of a TV drama. The living room was lit by flashing lights. Colorful balloons were floating on the ceiling. Many places of the house were decorated with pink ribbons. Even Xunxun had a pink bow tie around its neck. Two rows of people standing on both sides of the door greeted her with a chorus of "Welcome, first lady of the gang. Happy Chinese Saint Valentine's Day!" Zheng Xiaoguang was stunned and thought, "What? Where's Bluegreen-Clad? Who can tell me what is going on here?" Upon seeing the confused look on her face, a shor
Even after one year, Zheng Xiaoguang still recognized him at the first glance. He was Su Han. When Zheng Xiaoguang saw Su Han, Su Han also saw her. He wore a cardigan sweater and carried two dishes of fruit. When he saw Zheng Xiaoguang, he looked somewhat confused. Han Meimei came up and introduced the guys to Zheng Xiaoguang. "Allow me to introduce them to you, Flowing Light. This is my boyfriend Li Lei. This is Son of Heaven." After that, she introduced Su Han with a smile, "And this is Never Deeply Attached. You know what. He has come here all the way from S City." Zheng Xiaoguang looked at the three men. Li Lei was as tall as Bluegreen-Clad but a little overweight. Son of Heaven was short and thin and looked somewhat haggard. As for Su Han, he did not change very much. He still wore a pair of glasses and looked somewhat bookish. Over the past year, Zheng Xiaoguang had managed to recover from her
After being ridiculed by Blooming Pear Tree, Su Han sighed deeply. Years ago, he had been sincerely in love with Xiaoguang. He liked this lovely and kind girl and chased after her. With the help of her big brother Blooming Pear Tree, he and Xiaoguang quickly start a relationship. She was a nice girl. She never made excessive demands or pestered him to accompany her. Although it was a net-love, they still felt happy and contented. Su Han did not understand why their relationship had suddenly changed when they decided to tell their parents that they wanted to get married. In the beginning, his parents refused to accept Xiaoguang because they could not trust a girl that he met on the Internet. They said, "How much do you know about a girl you meet online? There are so many highly skillful swindlers on the Internet. You're always so honest and pure-minded. You'll get cheated by them without knowing anyth
Zheng Xiaoguang quietly snuggled up beside Bluegreen-Clad in the room. "Thank you," she said. She felt grateful that he did so much to comfort her. "Do you still hate him?" Bluegreen-Clad asked softly. Zheng Xiaoguang knew that he was talking about Su Han. She felt somewhat hesitant and frowned slightly, since she would always tell others that she had gotten over him and forgotten about this thing a long time ago. It was a lie. She hated Su Han. After a while, she replied seriously, "I hated him before, as he always told me that his parents and all his relatives and friends were stubborn and he had to compromise with them. He even broke up with me before earning a chance for me to meet his parents." She could not remember how many players in Flying Deity had tactfully asked her how she had wrecked her relationship with Su Han. She only remembered that since breaking up with him, she had never logged
Zheng Xiaoguang sprang back with a start while looking at Bluegreen-Clad in shock. "What did you say?" asked she. "To be more exact, I deliberately asked your big brother to ally himself with me as a way to delude you into marrying me," replied Bluegreen-Clad. "What?" Zheng Xiaoguang was stunned. "Do you still believe that I was forced to marry you for the sake of the so-called alliance?" Bluegreen-Clad asked, and his lips curved into a smile. "Do you really think that someone is able to force me to do such a thing?" Upon hearing that, she thought, "Yes, I used to doubt it very much. I've never figured out how my big brother managed to make the god-like Bluegreen-Clad marry me.' Bluegreen-Clad continued, "At first, your big brother refused to marry you off to me. I played a trick on him to make him promise me. Later, he put on an act together with me in case that you would refuse to marry me." "What?
"Haha, I've found our gang boss and our first lady!" A loud male voice called out, when the door of the room was suddenly pushed open. Zheng Xiaoguang hurriedly got away from Bluegreen-Clad. She looked at the door and saw Beating War Drums in Spring Breeze standing over there. He laughed and asked, "How long are you going stay here, you lovebirds?" Many heads popped in and looked about. They all smiled meaningfully at Zheng Xiaoguang and Bluegreen-Clad. Zheng Xiaoguang's face was as red as tomatoes now. Bluegreen-Clad took her hand and stood up while saying, "We're going down now. Stop peeping at us." Upon seeing that the group of people refused to go, he shouted, "If you continue to stay here, you'll have to pay four times the gang fee next month." "Oh, no." In an instant, all the people at the door ran downstairs. When Zheng Xiaoguang and Bluegreen-Clad went downstairs, they all sat on the sofa and
Bluegreen-Clad: Why do you think so? Never Deeply Attached got stuck for words for a while and then replied with difficulty. Never Deeply Attached: She's not able to maintain a long-distance relationship. She often feels insecure and goes off in a sulk. In the meantime, he sighed inwardly, "And she often made me choose between her and my parents. She's really unreasonable and inconsiderate." Bluegreen-Clad: We're friends, Never Deeply Attached. I want to tell you that I don't want anyone to denigrate my girlfriend like that. Never Deeply Attached was surprised. He wanted to explain but failed to find the right words. As such, he could only persist stubbornly. Never Deeply Attached: Don't get me wrong, Bluegreen-Clad. I never mean to denigrate her. I just know her too well. She's really not suitable for you. Upon seeing that, Bluegreen-Clad could not help but sigh inwardly, "What? Does h
As Bluegreen-Clad and the girl who seemed to be close to him stood far away, Zheng Xiaoguang could not see their facial expressions or hear their voices. She saw that the girl casually put a hand on Bluegreen-Clad's shoulder and he did not stop her. She thought to herself, "It's natural for a cute guy like Bluegreen-Clad to have many pretty female friends. But why does he show such intimacy with her in front of me? "Are they childhood sweethearts or business partners? Is she his fiancée?" Zheng Xiaoguang could not help but think of the soap opera that she had watched before. They seemed to have chatted about something interesting, as the girl began to chuckle while covering her mouth with her fingers. Bluegreen-Clad smiled too and continued to chat with her gleefully. After chatting with the girl for a while, Bluegreen-Clad led her to their table. Now, Zheng Xiaoguang could finally see the girl's face clearly. She
My name was Lu Mingyue. As you all know, I had a younger brother named Lu Mingxuan. He was 28 years old and had just got married recently. As for me, I thought it would be difficult to get married this year. Of course, I needed to declare one thing—I was not single, at least in the eyes of my relatives and friends. Because when I was very young, I was engaged with a boy named Gu Hang. At the moment, I was "negotiating" with my fiance's mistress. "Miss Ge Hui, right?" I looked at the girl in front of me who looked only in her early twenties. She was good-looking and had a good figure. It was no wonder that Gu Hang liked her. The girl didn't know who I was, so she asked with some doubts, "I am Ge Hui. Who are you?" I answered lightly, "I am Lu Mingyue, Gu Hang's fiancee." "What? You are Gu Hang's..." Ge Hui looked at me in shock as if she had heard some explosive news. This
My name was Su Han, and I was... 30 years old this year. I still hadn't found anyone to marry. Yes, I hadn't found one. It's not that I had never found one. Once I met a girl named Zheng Xiaoguang in an online game called Flying Deity. She was lovely and kind. I liked her very much. Later, she became my girlfriend and the target I first thought of getting married with. However, we finally broke up under the opposition of our family because of mundane issues, and because she felt extremely insecure... In short, although I felt sorry about her, I do not regret the choice of parting. Especially knowing that she was married, my heart was completely calm. The luck that brought us together was not strong enough I guess. Many people and things in this world were just like this. Just like my uncle's cousin. Just like me. In the end, we will all compromise with our family and marry a local girl whom our family agrees with,
In the past, Zheng Xiaoguang had considered pregnancy the most boring thing in the game. When she was pregnant in the game, she had nothing to do except for sitting on the floor. When she got pregnant in real life, she finally understood what a real "tragedy" was like. The baby's father could continue to work, work overtime and even go out to socialize freely, but she had to stay at home every day to nurture the baby! For the health of the baby, she was required to stop playing with her cellphone and her computer. She was even not allowed to watch TV for a long time. It was hard for a young person like her to overcome the addiction to electronics, not to mention the fact that she was addicted to online games. She had not played the games for a long time by far. Even she herself could hardly believe that. Her mother-in-law took good care of her and came here to chat with her whenever she had time. Even if she did n
A month later, Bluegreen-Clad's sister Lu Mingyue came to the wedding of Zheng Xiaoguang and Bluegreen-Clad. This tall and pretty girl still wore her brown hair long and wavy. She spoke calmly to Zheng Xiaoguang and Bluegreen-Clad. "Congratulations." "Thank you, sister." Zheng Xiaoguang expressed her gratitude politely. Lu Mingyue raised her eyebrows and asked, "Haven't you told your wife who I am, Mingxuan?" Bluegreen-Clad said smilingly, "She's Slightly Defected Moon, Xiaoguang. She spoke well of our relationship in front of my parents to help us getting their approval." Zheng Xiaoguang was surprised and thought,"Oh~ No wonder Bluegreen-Clad's mother treated me so nicely when we first met." She felt grateful and said, "Thank you. It's very kind of you, sister." Lu Mingyue patted Zheng Xiaoguang on the shoulder in a cool way and said, "If you want to thank me, stop spreading rumors abo
In the evening, Zheng Xiaoguang logged onto the game and felt awkward upon thinking of Yang Sisi's words. "What else can you do? Go to plead with your Bluegreen-Clad to marry you as soon as possible." She thought embarrassedly, "How can I propose to a guy? That will kill me~" A few minutes later, Bluegreen-Clad sent her a team invitation. She joined the team and remained silent. Bluegreen-Clad: Is there anything wrong? Flowing Light: No, nothing~ Bluegreen-Clad: Have you told your parents that my parents and l will go to R City to visit your family? Flowing Light: Oh, I forgot it! I'll tell them tomorrow. Bluegreen-Clad: Mm-hmm. After that, when Bluegreen-Clad took her to play an instance, she still seemed somewhat absent-minded. Bluegreen-Clad was considerate and did not ask her anything. As Li Lei and Han Meimei went out on a date, they were not online toni
After visiting Bluegreen-Clad's parents and spending the rest of the National Day holiday with Bluegreen-Clad, Zheng Xiaoguang returned to R City. To her surprise, Chen Bishi's attitude towards her suddenly changed. She did not ask Zheng Xiaoguang to help her with her work and even warmly invited Zheng Xiaoguang to watch a movie together with her after work. "This is a new movie. I heard that it's amazing and made lots of efforts to get these two tickets." Chen Bishi said while holding two movie tickets which were probably bought by one of her suitors. Since having dinner together with her days ago, Zheng Xiaoguang had been stunned by her bad ideas. As such, she refused her without much thinking. "I'm sorry. I have something important to do tonight." "What's it? Are you going to date your boyfriend tonight?" Chen Bishi seemed to have completely failed to detect the coldness in Zheng Xiaoguang's words. "Well, let me give you a t
Upon hearing the employees' compliments, Zheng Xiaoguang felt somewhat awkward. She did this just because she wanted her man to have lunch on time. Bluegreen-Clad finished his work and took Zheng Xiaoguang and his mother to a restaurant nearby. It was a western restaurant and served food very quickly. After the lunch, when Zheng Xiaoguang thought that Bluegreen-Clad would have to go back to work, he said that he would go home together with her. "Aren't you very busy now?" She asked confusedly. Bluegreen-Clad patted her head and said, "I've finished my parts. I can spend some quality time with you this afternoon." As such, they went back home together. Bluegreen-Clad's mother insisted on giving them some time to stay together and left. After her departure, there were only Bluegreen-Clad and Zheng Xiaoguang in the house. When Zheng Xiaoguang, who had many questions to ask Bluegreen-Clad, was about to speak, Bluegree
Zheng Xiaoguang chatted gleefully with Bluegreen-Clad and his mother until evening. Bluegreen-Clad's father finally came back. Different from his lively wife, he looked calm and steady. Upon noticing his wife's satisfaction with Zheng Xiaoguang, he said to Bluegreen-Clad, "You're grown-ups now. I respect your decision. But I have to tell you. As a man, you should shoulder your responsibilities when you decide to marry a girl." Bluegreen-Clad replied smilingly, "I see." "I heard that your company is working on a new program. You'd better not spend the whole holiday with your girlfriend. You should go to your company when you have time to make sure that everything goes smoothly," said his father. Bluegreen-Clad nodded and said, "I'm going to go back to my company tomorrow." As a man who ran his own business, he could not completely relax down during the 7-day holiday After having lunch together, Bluegr
On her second day in A City, she woke up at 8:00 am in the morning. To her surprise, she did not see Bluegreen-Clad beside her. She got up and went to wash up in a daze. She looked around and found out that Bluegreen-Clad was not at home. She picked up her cellphone and called him. Bluegreen-Clad received the call immediately. "Where are you?" she asked while wondering, "Didn't he say that we're going to meet his parents today?" "I've come out to buy some breakfast food for you. I'll be back soon. Just wait for me at home," replied Bluegreen-Clad. "Okay," Zheng Xiaoguang said and then hung up the phone. Only five minutes later, she heard someone knocking on the door. She immediately stood up and went to open the door. To her surprise, she saw a middle-aged woman standing at the door with some fresh vegetables and fruit in hand. She seemed to be around 40 years old and was dressed in simple clothes. U
