When Tang Xuexue arrived at the inner room, she rarely let go of her ladylike demeanor. The cold arrogance in her eyes was replaced by an indescribable gentleness. She asked softly, "Exquisite, do you know why I want to break off this engagement?"
I was stunned, shaking my head to indicate that I didn't know. "After all, Chou Xuanji is also a high-class item. How come she doesn't meet your standards?" There was a hint of teasing in my words, trying to ease the sudden seriousness.
Tang Xuexue Lowering her head, her face suddenly became extremely shy, and she gently pushed me, saying, "Annoying, I'm not straightforward."
I was pushed by her and almost lost my balance, as if my mind was also unsteady.
"What! You, Xue Xue?" I looked at her in astonishment, filled with doubt and confusion.
"But it's for the best." Tang Xuexue looked up and smiled at me, her smile tinged with a sense of relief. " Chou Xuanji's previous letter said that your love is as strong as gold and as deep as the sea, so it's just as well for you two."
I was stunned, as if struck by lightning, with a mix of emotions in my heart.
When I rushed out to find Chou Xuanji, I actually asked a silly question: "Do we really love each other deeply like gold and the sea?"
Chou Xuanji raised an eyebrow and looked at me, with a hint of playfulness in his eyes: "You tell me first, am I a scumbag."
Since the betrayal of Tang Xuexue does not exist, I shook my head without hesitation.
"Are you willing to marry me now?" Chou Xuanji's voice carried a hint of anticipation.
"If I say no, will you hit me?" I half-jokingly replied, trying to conceal my inner nervousness.
"It's too late," Chou Xuanji sighed softly, his voice tinged with a hint of helplessness. "Our relationship has been spread throughout the martial arts world by Qin Shishi. Now everyone knows we are to be married. My reputation has already been tarnished by you once, and if this marriage doesn't happen, I will have no place in the martial arts world."
As he said the last sentence, his voice was surprisingly bitter, making me feel a twinge of guilt. I realized that my previous actions, though based on a misunderstanding, had caused Chou Xuanji considerable trouble.
I looked at Chou Xuanji and felt an unprecedented sense of guilt. It's because of my rumors that he has become a scoundrel reviled by everyone in the martial arts world. Now, I'm just trying to restore his reputation. What's wrong with that?
I took a deep breath and looked firmly at Chou Xuanji: "Okay, I am willing to marry you."
A hint of surprise flashed in Chou Xuanji's eyes, and he tightly held my hand: "Is this for real?"
I nodded, filled with determination and courage: "Indeed."
When I returned to my room holding my head, I realized that I had already been caught in a huge whirlpool.
Chou Xuanji has informed the sect that they are waiting for a reply. Tang Xuexue is busy trying to marry me off, everything is proceeding in an orderly, harmonious, and enthusiastic manner, but only I, like a helpless little grass caught in the center of a tornado, feel incredibly lost and confused.
The plot has changed too quickly, like a sudden tornado, leaving me completely bewildered.
It was just listening to Tang Xuexue's complaints, then being followed by Mr. Chou all the way, inexplicably falling into the river, inexplicably losing my job, and finding out that my best friend actually likes women. And that scumbag I once identified is now going to be my fiancé!
In the next few days, before I could even react, Tang Xuexue bombarded my room with all kinds of gossip.
I am honored to have become the protagonist of these stories. This is the first time I have encountered such a thing, where the person writing the story falls into the story. I feel both helpless and amused, with a mix of emotions in my heart.
Seeing the plot of the story about to spiral out of control, I immediately clung to Chou Xuanji's thigh and began to plead, " Mr., it's me. I didn't know any better and offended you! Please forgive me!"
In my voice, there is a hint of pleading and a few traces of exhaustion, hoping only that he can let me off the hook.
The motionless Mr. looks down on me from above, his eyes carrying a hint of mockery: "You don't want to? Then I'll find another exquisite to marry." His words shocked me a little.
"You, you, you! You're not allowed to have someone impersonate me!" I retorted hastily, feeling a surge of inexplicable emotion.
Chou Xuanji smiled, the gleam in his eyes making my eyes hurt. "It seems like you still like me," he said with a hint of pride in his voice.
I looked up, wanting to argue, but my throat caught when I met Chou Xuanji's teasing gaze.
I felt my cheeks flush, my heart race, and I was a little afraid to meet his eyes.
My heart, still dancing wildly, I dare not look at him.
In my heart, I wonder, what's going on? How could I have feelings for this scumbag I once misunderstood?
Chou Xuanji seemed to see through my thoughts, and he gently patted my head: "Don't think too much, everything will be fine as it is."
I nodded, feeling a warm surge in my heart.
