Entrust My Life To You - Chapter 34
Translated by: RandomAlex
Since his parents’ approval, Gu Wei’s whole life has been much easier.
“Doctor, are your steps getting heavier?”
“Ah, mental stress can make people gain weight.”
What is all this?
On the third day of the holiday, I was called to the wedding shop by Yin Shi. When Gu Wei and I were introduced into the fitting room, Jin Shi’s suit was crisp, Yin Shi was dressed in white, and the couple were looking affectionately at each other in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror in a standard romantic novel state.
“Ahem, ahem, are we early or late?” Anyway, looks like it wasn’t the right time.
Yun Shi came up and said, “this is to familiarize you with the process in advance, so as not to be in a hurry when you get married.” Twirling she spoke again, “how about this one?”
I nodded sincerely: “Beautiful. Jin Shi, you should be careful of people trying to rob the bride.”
Yin Shi smiled charmingly and picked up a small dress and handed it over: “Dear bridesmaid, you should also try on your clothes. ”
I looked at the small pink wedding dress in front of me and said, “uh–can I be the best man?”
Jin Shi: “But, the best man has to drink a lot.”
…… I resigned into the changing room.
As soon as I took off my denim shirt, Yin Shi came in with a skirt.
“Hey, you…”
“What’s going on with Xiao San?”
San San spent 99 yuan to burn marriage incense during the Spring Festival. Facts have proved that Buddha didn’t forget her. As a result, San San’s peach blossoms flooded. In her words, on the shelf more than 20 years has been in full swing for the past year …
(TNote: peach blossom = a metaphor for the spring of life.)
Yin Shi: “so she’s in a daze now?”
I tried to simplify the question: “a rich, tall and handsome guy has a crush on her. Comrade Xiao San would rather die than surrender.”
“No love?”
“She, she felt, had to— she didn’t like it. ”
“Gee, how can the girl be so hypocritical? She called me several times after 11 o’clock at night. Jin Shi answered, there was nothing at that end but the sound of breathing. It really affected our daily life.”
“I’m used to it …”
Yin Shi sighed, “I’ll give her some ideas later” and went out.
The bridesmaid dress was short in front and long at the back, which made me shy and I went out: “Yin Shi–”
At that time, Gu Wei was sitting on the sofa chatting with Jin Shi. seeing me go out, he stopped moving and his eyes narrowed slowly.
That bad look.
I felt that I was nailed to the spot and could not move. I bit my lip and stared back, thinking to myself, ‘hold back a little bit in public.’
“What do you think? Does it look good?” Yin Shi came over and said, “Doctor?”
Gu Wei regained the faint smile on his face, nodded and did not speak, but did not look away.
Hiss– this guy!
I looked around and said, “where is San San?”
Jin Shi: “She just got a phone call and said that she had to go back in advance. It seems to be a colleague.”
Yin Shi and I looked at each other and quickly wandered back to the dressing room to change clothes.
On the way back, Jin Shi was puzzled by the high interest from Yin Shi and me: “Why are you in such a hurry to go back?”
Me: “To see some drama.”
Yin: “To see some drama.”
On the way, I briefly introduced Mr. Tall Rich and Handsome to Yin Shi. This gentleman, surnamed Xiao, who has both talent and appearance, harbors the labor force of his compatriots in a Sino-Japanese joint venture and has a long-term cooperative relationship with San San’s design institute. Under various coincidences, she fell in love with Engineer Xiao at first sight and did her best in chasing him. However, the upright Engineer Xiao lived under the glorious banner of Marxism-Leninism from an early age. He stood firm and would rather die than follow, so she was anxious until now.
“Stop the car. ” Yin Shi noticed the person with a sharp eye, “is that Xiao Gong?”
Outside the window at 10:00, a pair of man and woman confronted each other. Frown, not speaking– the atmosphere is quite the same as husband and wife.
“It’s very pleasing to the eye. ” Yin Shi sighed, took out her cell phone and sent a text message, [Honey, do you need help from the side?]
I didn’t miss the reaction from Gu Wei beside me. He raised his eyebrows, narrowed his eyes slowly, and then picked up the corners of his mouth slightly.
Such a pure belly black smile.
“Know each other?” I asked in a voice that only the two of us could hear.
Gu Wei grumbled. There’s a situation!
We kept looking, Mama Xiao came downstairs and bring the couple upstairs.
Talking to San San on the phone before lunch. —
“Xiao Xiao, does the Doctor ever put you under a lot of pressure?”
“What do you mean?”
“Marriage, family, future.”
“No. Gu Wei is very gentle.”
“So, if you really love someone, you are bound to think of each other’s feelings instead of pressuring you step by step, isn’t it?”
At that time, Gu Wei was sitting on the sofa chatting with Jin Shi. seeing me go out, he stopped moving directly and his eyes narrowed slowly. San San, don’t dwell with formal things, see clearly the essence of the problem. If you have him in your heart, then give both sides a chance and don’t miss it in vain.” I sighed when I thought of Xiao Jun chasing me all the way from X City. “San San, A man can’t have endless patience unless he really can’t let it go.”
In the afternoon, we returned to city X, San San hitched a ride, and we were very upset.
The Doctor glanced at the black Volvo in the rearview mirror, which had not left his sight for a long time, and he smiled in a profound way.
In the evening, I listened for half an hour before I understood the relationship between the Doctor and Xiao Zhongyi. Specifically, the Doctor’s grandfather and Xiao Zhongyi’s grandmother are cousins, and the two parents have their own branches and leaves. The relationship between the two branches is not very deep, but it is not too shallow. However, at a party more than 30 years ago, the second son of the old man and the younger daughter of the old lady fell in love at first sight and finally made a connection.
The Doctor’s father is the eldest son of the old man, and Xiao Zhongyi’s father is the second son of the old lady.
In short, the Doctor’s aunt is Xiao Zhongyi’s aunt.
I heard only one sentence: “More complicated than A Dream of Red Mansions …” then, “the world is too small!!!”
(TNote: A Dream of Red Mansions= https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The Dream of Red Mansions (2010 TV series) )
A week later, while I was watching a movie on the sofa with Gu Wei, San San sent a text message: [Call me.]
I dialed with resignation: “What is it?”
“Xiao Xiao, what’s wrong with you?”
“Hiss … this trick is too old!”
“What? How can you suddenly have a fever and stomachache?”
“… Do you think Xiao Jun is an idiot?”
“Gu Wei? Is he not here?”
“You’re almost …”
“You don’t worry … don’t worry. I’ll be right over.”
Pa… The phone was hung up.
The Doctor was beside me and his expression was very funny.
“Er … friend obligations.”
The Doctor pursed his lips and said, “Like it if you like it and make it clear if you don’t like it. If you waste time like this, you will regret it later.”
Me: “San San just thought of step 1, Xiao Jun has thought of steps 7 and 8, which is out of line.”
The Doctor’s expression was faint: “If it weren’t for deep feelings, how could someone think so far?”
When I thought of the Doctor’s sentence ‘give you one year’, I was suddenly very glad that his patience was so good. I got up and kissed him: “Doctor, you are the best. ”
Doctor: “You are the stick and the carrot.”
(Tnote: The phrase “carrot and stick” is a metaphor for the use of a combination of reward and punishment to induce a desired behavior.)
Special dialog
Doctor: Xiao San beat Xiao Zhongyi when he returned home after she knew that we were distant relatives.
(Why do men of a young age like to cover things up?)
Doctor: Up to 30 generations, everyone is still family.
