Cheng Tianyuan frowned slightly and raised his sword eyebrows slightly.
"Why can't you take it? You helped me advance two hundred yuan before, so I still owe you one hundred yuan."
On the second day after the wedding, his cousin's uncle and aunt came to his door to ask for money, causing the whole village to come to watch the fun. If she hadn't given him two hundred yuan to save him, he would have been upset.
A manly man can have the strength not to bend his back for five buckets of rice, but he has no choice but to live in embarrassment and occasionally has to bow his head.
It had to be said that he was grateful from the bottom of his heart for her "help" that day.
Xue Ling curled her lips and explained: "That money is my father's wedding gift to us. You also have a share. It is not considered a debt at all."
Cheng Tianyuan shook his head and said: "No, you still have to pay it back."
"No!" Xue Ling muttered: "You are helping me rent a house. If you insist on keeping this hundred yuan, then it will be considered as a shared rent between the two of us."
Cheng Tianyuan raised his eyebrows in surprise and blurted out: "What are you doing in a shared house?"
He lives well in the dormitory and doesn't need to rent another house at all.
Xue Ling's pretty face turned red and she secretly scolded him for being a fool. She pretended to be serious and analyzed it carefully.
"Look, the house has three floors. Although only the middle floor can be occupied, there are two rooms in it! There are several grown men in your small dormitory. It must be very narrow and inconvenient to live in. You
You might as well move in with me, it's very spacious anyway."
Cheng Tianyuan was stunned and lowered his cold eyes.
Xue Ling continued: "It's not very safe for me as a girl to live in a house. I'm not familiar with the place here, and I don't recognize anyone except you. You can't leave me alone, can you?"
Cheng Tianyuan was silent, the outline of his cold and handsome face tightened.
She...is inviting herself to share that house with her?! Is she serious?
Seeing that he didn't speak, Xue Ling's heart was pounding, and her heart was in a state of confusion.
"It's not far from the supply and marketing cooperative there, and the roads are smooth. It will definitely be convenient for you to commute to and from get off work. Moreover, there is a kitchen downstairs there, so we can cook together. It's not an option to always eat out for three meals. The stuff from outside is expensive, and secondly, it’s not as hygienic as the stuff you make at home.”
She continued to find several reasons, listed a lot of advantages of two people living together, and talked about it for a long time.
Cheng Tianyuan lowered his head and listened to her without saying a word until the small room became quiet.
She waited a little uneasily, but when he saw that he didn't speak for a long time, she mustered up the courage to take two steps forward and grabbed the corner of his clothes.
"Brother Yuan, just live with me!"
Cheng Tianyuan had a cold and handsome face and stiffly swept away her little hand.
"……no."
Xue Ling was stunned for a moment, the hope that flickered in his eyes dimmed instantly, his head went blank for a moment, and he couldn't react for a long time.
"Why...why not?"
Cheng Tianyuan glanced at her, as if he couldn't bear it, and quickly averted his eyes.
"It's not convenient. If you need a roommate, you can find a girl. You are already working in the newspaper office, and you will have colleagues and friends soon. The newspaper office does not provide accommodation, so there must be colleagues who are willing to live with you."
What she said on their wedding night was still in his mind word for word.
She made it clear that he was not suitable for her, and she was not willing to stay with him, and she would divorce him sooner or later.
Since we are going to separate sooner or later, try not to involve too much.
He had brought her out, so he had to take good care of her. He had been guarding her here in the inn these days because he was worried about her safety, and it was also an expedient measure.
Next, she will have an independent house to live in, and the surrounding environment is very good, so there is no need for him to accompany her anymore.
He doesn't like the disconnected and ambiguous situation.
When they got engaged, he was a half-year-old child, but she was only four or five years old. They were both ignorant and ignorant at that age, and they had no idea what an engagement was.
He admitted that when he first heard her say those heartless words, he was very angry inside.
He is a man, and he is still young and full of blood. How can he withstand the naked contempt and disgust of his newlywed wife?
But after he calmed down, he felt that she was quite helpless and innocent.
After all, this marriage was a voluntary decision made by the parents' generation without asking for his or her opinion at all.
It is already the 1980s, and young people are already pursuing freedom in marriage and love.
She grew up in a big city and received a higher education. How could she like such a traditional feudal marriage?
He came to propose marriage in such a hurry that he ignored her feelings and only knew to hurry up and marry her to celebrate his old father. After thinking about it carefully, it was understandable what she said that night.
After hearing this, Xue Ling felt extremely disappointed!
But she was not one to give up easily. She raised her head, raised her chin, and looked into his eyes.
"I don't want it! I just want to live with you! I just want to live with you alone. I can't trust anyone else!"
Cheng Tianyuan didn't expect her to be so "unreasonable" and patiently explained: "I'm telling the truth. You should find a girl to share your apartment with. I'm a grown man and it's inconvenient for me to always live in the same room with you."
Xue Ling was annoyed and said stably: "We are a legal couple and we have received our marriage certificate! Don't we both live together? What's the inconvenience?"
Cheng Tianyuan frowned and was silent for a long time before finally speaking slowly.
"Xue Ling, do you know what you are talking about?"
"I'm not drunk or sleepy!" Xue Ling shouted: "I'm sober, why don't I know what I'm talking about!"
Cheng Tianyuan's heart suddenly felt hot. He didn't know what happened, and he became angry for no reason.
"You know?! Are you sure you know?! Aren't you waiting for the opportunity to divorce me? Since you have decided not to be together, then don't get entangled! I hope you can be innocent with others in the future! You understand
don't know?!"
He suddenly became louder, which startled Xue Ling!
In her impression, Brother Yuan has been a boring gourd since he was a child, doesn't talk much, and looks like a little adult.
After getting along with him these days, she found that he was calm, dignified and responsible. Although he was cold and unenthusiastic, he was sincere and generous in his treatment of others, and he was nothing like a "brute and rough man".
This was the first time she heard him speak loudly... and to herself!
Xue Ling's nose felt sore unconsciously, her eyes felt hot, and tears filled her eyes unconsciously.
She shouted excitedly: "I understand! I know everything! But I have already said that it was my impulse before and I no longer want to divorce you! I want to stay and live a good life with you!"
She sniffed and patted her chest boldly.
"Can't you tell how I've treated you these days?! If I wanted to divorce you, I would have dragged you to the Civil Affairs Bureau to apply for a divorce certificate! Why am I still here?! This place is a mess.
County seat, if you weren’t here, why would I be here?!”
Cheng Tianyuan raised his eyebrows and was completely confused.
