After a long moan, the dim yellow light lit up in the room.
Fang Guxue slowly sat up, leaned against the head of the bed, pulled the quilt up, and half-covered her chest.
She turned her head and glanced at the already sound asleep Luo Di, sighed, and felt that all men were the same, like dogs. After the passion, they all lay still like dead pigs, too lazy to be affectionate with women.
After some thought, she picked up a woman's cigarette by the window and lit it. In the swirling smoke, her face darkened.
"Last night, Luo Di proposed to me," Fang Guxue said to her best friend Jiang Yi as she took a sip of coffee.
In the coffee shop, someone is playing a romantic violin. When Jiang Yi heard this, her gaze moved away from the man playing the violin and turned to Fang Guxue excitedly, "So, did you agree?"
Fang Guxue shook her head, "No, even though I've been dating Luo Di for almost two years, I don't know anything about his family, where he lives, or how many people are in his family. Every time I ask him, he always avoids the topic impatiently."
"But didn't you say he's very wealthy? His family background can't be that bad, right? It's not easy to find a tall, rich, and handsome guy."
"I'm worried that he's lying to me about being from a wealthy family. I mentioned wanting to meet his parents, but he always makes excuses, you know. Nowadays, many people use rented luxury cars and houses to deceive others into marriage. I had a friend who was deceived into marriage and ended up sharing the debt."
"Really? It's been almost two years. It's impossible not to slip up. He spends a lot of money just eating and drinking with you. It doesn't seem like he's pretending."
Fang Guxue bit her lip and looked at Jiang Yi, saying, "This is what confuses me the most. He's just a project manager at an advertising company, so his salary isn't that high. But he often takes out some gold to sell, saying it's something left by his family."
"Gold?" Jiang Yi's eyes lit up with interest.
"And it's a kind of gold flakes, like scales. I've never seen gold made into such thin slices before."
Jiang Yi clicked his tongue and said, "Who cares about gold bars and flakes? A good piece of gold is one that can be sold for money. I'd love to have a man like that propose to me."
Fang Guxue frowned, "You don't understand. It's the kind of person you can't figure out. You've been with him for almost two years, but you still feel uncertain about him, very unsettled."
Jiang Yi began to tease her: "Hey, if you don't want this man, I can take over, but according to Luo Di's macho temper, you didn't agree to his proposal and you didn't even have a fight?"
"Of course he was angry, but who am I, Fang Guxue, can't handle this kind of situation? I teased him directly last night, and he succumbed. Men, there's nothing more important than that thing below the waist."
Jiang Yi propped up his chin with his hand and said, "Since that's the case, you can say that marriage is possible, but you must bring me home to meet the the Fang Family elders. Otherwise, I dare not marry you. Just use this kind of coercion and temptation."
"Well, I'll give it a try, otherwise I won't feel at ease."
"Hey, so, how did your battle go last night?" Jiang Yi leaned in with a mischievous smile.
Fang Guxue shrugged. "He was just okay. I had to go along with his acting the whole time."
"Hahahaha."
The laughter of the woman echoed in the coffee shop, and several men around turned to look at the two of them.
On the floor, white underwear and men's clothing are scattered messily. The moonlight outside shines on two pale bodies on the bed.
Fang Guxue lay on Luo Di's chest, she touched his stubble and said softly, "Since we are getting married, we must meet the heads of the the Fang Family, otherwise how can we proceed?"
"Do we really have to go through this process?" Luo Di pulled his arm out from behind Fang Guxue.
Fang Guxue sat up and complained, "Every time I mention your family, you get so angry. Are you hiding something from me? Since you want to get married, shouldn't we be honest with each other?"
Luo Di got out of bed, put on a bathrobe, and stood by the window looking at the moon hanging in the night sky. Fang Guxue sat on the bed watching his silhouette, and the two of them remained silent for a long time.
Finally, I heard Luo Di let out a slight sigh and said, "My parents have a strange hereditary disease, so they have been living in the old house in the countryside and are afraid to come out to see you."
"What? What kind of disease?"
"A skin disease."
"Is it very serious? If it's hereditary, then how come you're fine?"
Luo Di thought and said, "I am a miracle. There is only a one in a thousand chance of having a normal child."
"Is it contagious?" Fang Guxue felt a bit confused.
"I won't. If it were contagious, I would have turned as ugly as a toad covered in pustules by now."
Fang Guxue fell silent for a moment, then fixed her gaze on Luo Di's body. Although she couldn't see his expression, she had a strong intuition that this man was lying. With years of experience mingling among men, she had developed a keen ability to see through them.
"Is it just pus-filled spots on the skin?" Fang Guxue asked again.
"Yes, let me tell you, the main thing actually happened in my great-grandfather's generation. Once, they found a heavy black jar in a pool in the mountains. It was sealed with oilcloth and had some strange symbols painted on it. When they opened the jar, they found it was filled with golden fish scales, like those of a giant fish. They thought it was a reward from the gods, so they brought it back home. After that, the people in the family inexplicably developed a skin disease with pus-filled spots."
Fang Guxue pondered for a moment and said, "I understand, take me to meet your parents, maybe I can help you."
"Are you sure? How can you help?" Luo Di turned around.
"I know a very famous medical professor. If modern medicine can't cure it, I also know some masters who research these things. I don't know if you have heard of a previous news, where someone developed an unbearable skin disease after bathing in a pond. Later investigation revealed that the pond was used in ancient times to punish criminals, as it was a water prison where people were drowned alive. As a result, bacteria developed in the water and parasitized on people's skin."
In fact, all of this was made up by Fang Guxue. She just felt that this man was making up an excuse to deceive her. Without personally verifying everything, she found it difficult to feel secure.
Because Fang Guxue has been deceived by men too many times before.
Luo Di gave a bitter smile and said, "I hope so, just don't despise me."
