"oh"
"Your ID card and household registration book are here, right?"
"Yeah, what's up?"
"Hand it over."
"I need to ask my mom about this."
"Where did you get a mother from?"
Again? I think, Zhang Qian, I know your past too well.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Where would I be without a mother? Ah, ah, ah!"
"Stop arguing, you have to pay today whether you like it or not."
She was buttoning her clothes, muttering something unintelligible.
This feeling is beyond ordinary.
After getting up, I went to the bathroom, picked up Zhang Qian's toothbrush, squeezed on toothpaste, and started brushing my teeth.
Why are you using my toothbrush? Didn't I prepare a new one for you?
"Can't?"
"Oh, okay, okay, absolutely."
Good, this child is teachable.
"Zhang Qian, I'm hungry." She sat on the sofa and pointed to her stomach.
"Wait a minute, I'll start cooking the dumplings right away."
Life has a hundred flavors? Okay, that's enough flavors. Any more and I'll feel nauseous.
"I want to eat the 'Four Heavenly Kings'" occasionally lets me be a rogue.
"I have to go downstairs to buy more, but that's too much trouble. I'll just have dumplings."
He pulled out a toothpick, bit it in his mouth, and tried crossing his legs. That's probably what a tyrannical landlord in a movie looks like.
"It was such a pity that the crab roe soup dumplings at the City God Temple yesterday were not served."
Zhang Qian rushed out of the kitchen as if her pants were on fire.
"You little brat, I won't even mention yesterday, but look at this, look at this!" She pointed to the door. "You kicked this door, didn't you? And this lock, did it just fall off by itself?"
She pulled the toothpick out of my mouth and kicked down my crossed legs.
"You, fix the door. Otherwise, this is off!"
Why has it changed again?
She took out a small saucepan and placed it on the table.
"Go down and buy some soy milk, fill the pot to the brim, and if even a single drop spills, I'll beat you up when you get back."
Zhang Qian
In the afternoon, Anqi dragged me out shopping.
Arriving at Xie Ruilin's door, he said he would go in and take a look.
The room was glittering with gold. Anqi looked at me with amusement and handed me a handkerchief, saying, "Wipe it off."
"Crazy" cursed him lightly, hooked his arm around his, raised his head and puffed out his chest, and swaggered around inside openly.
Anqi took a liking to a diamond heart-shaped ring and asked the salesperson to bring it out for her to try on.
"It's ugly, too tacky," I said.
"fine."
"It's really not good. These days, everyone wears a diamond ring when they get married. I'm just not going to wear one. Even if you wear it out normally, people will just think you're wearing a cubic zirconia."
It's not that I don't love diamonds, I just want something special and unique.
"So what style do you like?" Anqi asked, lingeringly touching the ring on my hand.
"Bare board"
"That kind?" He didn't quite believe my aesthetic sense, pointing to one in the corner of the glass cabinet.
"Yes, yes, yes, just like that. Plain, without any frills." Okay, this one looks really good. "Miss, that one, that one."
I waved the plain ring around in front of Anqi.
"If you like them, we can buy them together. The one in front is a couple's ring set, and that's the one for the wedding ring."
"I told you, that one isn't nice. I'm not wearing it, absolutely not."
Just as Anqi and I were at an impasse, the saleswoman said that their store had a limited edition plain men's and women's wedding ring.
When I saw them, I fell in love with the rings at first sight. But Anqi, that tasteless guy, insisted that the rings were "fixed-pin hoops".
"I am a tailor, and I love 'fixed needle bands'."
The saleswoman said that what made these rings special was that each ring contained a smaller ring. She first removed a smaller ring from the larger men's ring, and then removed a smaller ring from the women's ring as well.
"How do I wear these two small rings? If we swap them, the woman's ring is too small for the man's finger," I asked the saleswoman.
"The two small rings that were removed were not worn on your fingers, but hung around your necks."
Anqi found the ring interesting and couldn't wait to put one on each of them.
"Would you like to get a chain to hang these two small rings?"
"OK"
Now I understand why this ring is limited edition. The ring itself is expensive, and you need to buy a chain afterward, so it has to be limited edition.
"Don't pair them up anymore," she whispered in Anqi's ear.
"It's a once-in-a-lifetime event, don't spoil the fun."
Holding Anqi's hand, she grinned foolishly at the ring on her hand.
I'm getting married.
How does that song go again?
I'm marrying you tomorrow! I'm marrying you tomorrow...
"An Qi, don't you regret it?"
I regret it.
"ah?"
"I regret not meeting you sooner."
Okay, I like hearing that.
Zhang Qian
Zhang Qian
Grandpa is staying in the countryside and refusing to come back. I know he's avoiding me. He's avoiding the fact that I'm about to get married.
If Anqi were a divorced single man, if Anqi weren't Anqi, if I weren't myself.
Separated by a dusty pane of glass, I couldn't walk over it, and he couldn't cross it either.
Anqi has been staying at my house for the past few days, and we've been acting like newlyweds. I feel more like we're an old married couple. I know everything about him. But for me, there's at least one secret he doesn't know.
There are no secrets that stay hidden forever; you can never keep fire under the sun forever.
He said, "Don't follow the example shown on TV, where people live for decades."
I said, "Okay."
Such deep affection, how could I refuse?
Anqi
I have always carefully and meticulously maintained this relationship.
I am not as strong as I appear, nor as powerful as Zhang Qian thought.
Occasionally, just occasionally, I'll go to Black Thirteen to vent.
I don't know why I need to vent; it's probably from stress.
Everyone has secrets, I have mine, and Zhang Qian has hers too.
I don't want to know Zhang Qian's secret.
I am very satisfied with the present.
We are full of expectations for the future.
Regarding the past, ...
Zhang Qian
Anqi
We started living together. Living at her house wasn't secret; it was perfectly legitimate.
As the weather gets hotter, the temperature in her home also rises.
"Zhang Qian, let's install an air conditioner."
Life without air conditioning is really tough; you break out in a sweat all the time, which is quite uncomfortable. Zhang Qian, on the other hand, isn't bothered by the heat; in the summer, she feels cool and comfortable.
"Grandpa's joints can't take it, and it's not good for kids to be exposed to air conditioning too much; they're prone to getting air conditioning sickness."
