Cheng Tianyuan shook his head: "She doesn't even know when she can come back. Let's talk about it then. When she returns to the provincial capital, she will definitely call her home."
Ahu froze on the spot and nodded slowly after a long while.
"...Okay, let's talk about it then."
He didn't know why, but he suddenly had a strong intuition—Afang seemed to be avoiding him.
Thinking of that day, she strongly opposed him being her godbrother, and even got red-eyed, and then asked him to send her back.
Since then, he has never seen her again.
After Xue Ling ate one citrus, she happily took the other citrus to the balcony and placed them in a dry corner.
Cheng Tianyuan boiled water and made two cups of tea.
"Ahu, have a drink!"
Ahu suddenly came to his senses and nodded.
Cheng Tianyuan glanced at him and asked, "What are you doing? Are you worried?"
"...No!" Ahu smiled and explained: "Liu Xiaoyu said...that he would introduce his sister-in-law to me. He asked me to go to his house this evening and have dinner at his house."
"Liu Xiaoyu is an honest person. What he says is good should be good," Cheng Tianyuan said.
Ahu chuckled, holding the tea cup and rubbing the hot side of the cup.
"I... don't really want to go."
Cheng Tianyuan raised his eyebrows and asked: "Why? Do you have a sweetheart? I have met the Liu family's sister-in-law, and she looks pretty good. Since they are biological sisters, they should look similar, so there is no need to worry about her appearance."
"No!" Ahu smiled bitterly: "I just don't like blind dates. You look at me, I look at you, and we ask about the situation at home, weigh the before and after, and find out the details - it's almost like doing business!
I'm scared to think about a marriage like that."
Cheng Tianyuan finally understood.
"If you don't like blind dates, then don't go on blind dates and find an excuse to refuse. Liu Xiaoyu is just introducing him kindly, and he doesn't want to force you to marry his sister-in-law. What are you afraid of?!"
Ahu took a long breath, frowned and looked at the window.
"I don't know why. People of my age should be very anxious to get married. But I can't persuade myself...I can't persuade myself to just give up."
Cheng Tianyuan nodded, expressing understanding.
"You have been in love and have understood what it feels like to be truly committed to life and death. Therefore, you should also hope to pursue the emotion of free love in your marriage."
"Yes! That's the truth." Ahu smiled softly and said, "Brother, you understand me!"
Cheng Tianyuan couldn't help but glance towards the balcony and saw Xue Ling squatting in the corner drying citrus fruits, his eyes softened unconsciously.
"I've been through this before, and I understand it better."
Ahu rolled his eyes and scolded with a smile: "Just follow what others say! I heard from my godfather that you and your sister-in-law were engaged when they were young, and we didn't see each other for more than ten years. It wasn't until you came to the imperial capital that your father-in-law hurriedly arranged for her to marry you.
Come and marry me. You are worse than someone who goes on a blind date!"
"Go!" Cheng Tianyuan's tough handsome face was a little red, and he whispered: "We are childhood sweethearts. When we were young... we had a very good relationship."
Ahu didn't believe it at all and muttered: "How old were you at that time? How ignorant were you? At most, it was a kind of care and love for my sister."
"That's also love!" Cheng Tianyuan explained: "I am only good to her, and she is the only one good to me. What's the reason for this? There must be a reason! Besides, when I went to the Imperial Capital later, I was so
Recognize her..."
"Love at first sight?" Ahu asked with a smile.
Cheng Tianyuan snorted softly: "Just imagine it yourself!"
Don't tell this rough guy too clearly about his affairs with his wife. Only the person involved has such subtle feelings and sweet emotions, so it's impossible to explain them clearly.
Ah Hu clicked his tongue a few times, as if sighing or admiring.
"That's great...you and your sister-in-law are so lucky!"
This is not an exaggeration at all.
The two families have been separated for more than ten years without any news. He has never been married, and she has not been married either. Fate renewed their relationship after they got married, bringing them together again.
Despite the vast sea of people, the imperial capital and Rongcheng were so far apart, the two were finally able to unite, and they were inseparable and deeply in love.
What is this if not luck?!
Cheng Tianyuan did not laugh at him, and whispered: "You just haven't found your destiny yet. When your destiny arrives, your marriage will be a matter of course. Since you don't like blind dates, then don't go, so as not to make other girls miss you."
"Then we have to go!" Ahu said: "If she knows that she is going on a blind date but I don't show up, then I won't respect her very much!"
Cheng Tianyuan asked: "Does she know?"
Ah Hu thought for a moment and replied: "Liu Xiaoyu said he wouldn't tell her for now, but I'm not sure if he would tell the girl secretly."
Cheng Tianyuan quickly came up with an idea for him and said: "You bring a dozen tangerines over and say they are for the children, then say hello and leave, saying that you are coming to my house for dinner and will not stay there. You
Come on, if this girl knew it was a blind date, she would know that you were politely refusing. If she didn't know, she would at most think that you were just a guest who came and went in a hurry, and wouldn't think about anything else."
"Hey! Okay, let's do it like this!" Ahu patted his shoulder, "The best of both worlds!"
Cheng Tianyuan looked at the sky outside and said, "It's still a little early. I'll take my wife to the construction site next door, and then I'll go to the post office. Are you okay?"
"No! It's almost moldy!" Ahu said.
Cheng Tianyuan raised his chin and said, "Then help take care of Xiao Ranran. My mother is playing with him next door. You go over and chat!"
"Okay!" Ahu laughed and said, "I like riding a horse for Xiao Ranran the most!" After saying this, he jumped up and went to the next door in a hurry.
Cheng Tianyuan looked at his excited back and sighed softly.
This guy is kind-hearted and the Gu family also loves children. However, marriage always teases him and prevents him from getting married and having children.
Hope you don’t have to wait too long!
…
That evening, Ahu went to Liu Xiaoyu's house with a bagful of tangerines.
The Liu family's sister-in-law quickly pulled a young woman out of the room. She was slightly fat and had two pigtails, and she smiled shyly at him.
Ahu immediately guessed that the little girl already knew about it, so he was not embarrassed at all. He smiled cheerfully, put down the tangerine, and told Liu Xiaoyu that he had something to do in the evening and would come back another day, and then left in a hurry.
Liu Xiaoyu didn't stop him. When she saw him leaving in a hurry, she immediately guessed what was going on.
He winked at his wife and said hello: "Sister-in-law, let's prepare dinner first and watch TV with the children later. It's cold, so we'll stay here to rest tonight and go back tomorrow morning."
The little girl buried her head, said "hmm" in a low voice, and then hid in the room.
Sister-in-law Liu was secretly unhappy and couldn't help but feel sorry for her sister.
"I have told you a long time ago that he is too old, and my sister is only eighteen! An eighteen-year-old girl is like a flower, but he is already in his thirties, and he still dares to dislike my girl!"
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Liu Xiaoyu lowered his voice: "Ahu must feel that he is not worthy of my sister-in-law and dare not accept it. I arranged this matter, and he had to give me this face, and it was difficult to refuse, so he had to use this method
Reject in a tactful way. People have experienced the world, not what you think."
Sister-in-law Liu felt a lot relieved when her husband said this.
"Then...then my sister is indeed pretty good!"
"But she is not Ahu's type." Liu Xiaoyu explained.
"Then what type does he like?" Sister-in-law Liu said enthusiastically: "I have several cousins who haven't found anyone yet..."
"No." Liu Xiaoyu stopped and sighed in a low voice: "He won't like it."
