1979: My fiancée is a goddess

Chapter 344: I gave up this marriage a long time ago! (Please give me a monthly ticket, a subscription, anything else)

The atmosphere at the table, which had just been relatively pleasant and harmonious, became as silent as death after Jiang Wan's words that left no room for doubt or room for maneuver.

It was so quiet that Cheng Kaiyan could only hear everyone's breathing.

and also……

The girl next to me was sobbing intermittently, and the hot tears slid down her cheeks, breaking into pieces on the ground.

"Crackling..."

"Woo——"

I don’t know how much time passed, maybe half an hour, maybe just a few moments.

Suddenly, there was the sound of wind and rain outside the window. The raindrops as big as beans hit the windows of the semicircular balcony and the iron roof, making a dull sound.

The whistling north wind made a howling sound.

It is particularly obvious in the living room, which is now generally silent.

Cheng Kaiyan was very associative and wondered if God didn't agree with Aunt Wan's words and made it rain on purpose?

He shook his head secretly and put it out of his mind.

Just as Aunt Wan said, this marriage should have been shelved and forgotten in a corner.

Maybe many years later.

Only then would one dig out a dusty and blurry marriage certificate from an iron box, and suddenly recall that one had been engaged to a woman when one was a child. This might even serve as a topic worth talking about.

Things like child marriage are rather embarrassing in today's society and this era.

Whether you admit it or not, there is nothing to say.

From this perspective alone, Cheng Kaiyan agreed with Aunt Wan's words.

However, Aunt Wan simply mentioned the child marriage.

But he never said that this time he was going to confirm the previous child marriage.

Besides, this baby marriage...

A whirlwind of thoughts flashed through Cheng Kaiyan's mind, and the heavy mood in her heart gradually calmed down.

From this perspective, there is no need to think that the results are so bad.

It seems to be a long tug-of-war.

Realizing this, Cheng Kaiyan no longer cared about when the cold-faced woman would change her mind and show kindness.

Instead, he looked at the sobbing Liu Xiaoli with eyes full of heartache.

No matter what Aunt Wan’s plan is, my sister Xiaoli is crying very sadly now.

"Sister Xiaoli...don't be sad."

Cheng Kaiyan loosened his grip on the girl's hand and called out softly.

Liu Xiaoli was sobbing softly with her head down, her mind completely immersed in her mother's cold rejection.

Even though she has always been calm, gentle and graceful, she couldn't help feeling depressed and confused, and had no time to care about anything else.

At this moment, she noticed that Cheng Kaiyan seemed to be pulling her hand away. She felt as if her heart was being gripped by a pair of big hands, and the pain was so severe that she could hardly breathe.

She woke up immediately and clenched her hands, not wanting to let go of Cheng Kaiyan.

Cheng Kaiyan felt more and more pity in her heart, so she stretched out her other hand and gently stroked the girl's delicate back of the hand.

Liu Xiaoli noticed his movements and realized something, so she used less force.

Cheng Kaiyan took the girl's hand away and instead put his arm around her slender shoulders, holding her in his arms. Liu Xiaoli also leaned her head against Cheng Kaiyan.

"It's okay, Sister Xiaoli, I'm here."

Cheng Kaiyan patted her back gently and comforted her softly.

His voice was exceptionally gentle when he spoke, filled with deep compassion and love.

“Swoosh—whoosh…”

Liu Xiaoli also felt the deep affection of her comrade Xiao Cheng. She raised her pretty face which was red from crying, and looked at Cheng Kaiyan with her beautiful eyes filled with tears.

The two rosy and translucent lips were tightly pursed, the tips of the lips were slightly pouted, and short breaths and soft sobs came from between the lips from time to time.

The little voice sounded pitiful and aggrieved.

"Poor little thing... you're crying so sadly."

Cheng Kaiyan smiled gently, then lowered her head and gently kissed away the tears on the girl's face.

At this moment, he almost ignored everyone, with the girl in front of him with tears in her eyes only.

"Hmm~"

Liu Xiaoli sniffed and her voice became soft and sticky.

For some reason, although she was still a little sad, under the kiss of her comrade Xiao Cheng, a subtle warmth unconsciously rose in her heart.

……

As the two of them were being intimate as if no one was around, the three people at the table were staring at them in shock.

Sister Liu Xiaoling looked at the two with stars in her eyes. Her surprise and longing were beyond words. She couldn't help but mutter, "Could this be the true love in the novel..."

"Cough cough..."

My father-in-law Liu Jianshe started coughing lightly as if he was choked by saliva.

Although he is gentle to others, he is also a solemn and serious person who values ​​family education and upbringing.

He couldn't bear to see his daughter and Cheng Kaiyan being so intimate without paying attention to others...

If this wasn't his daughter, he would have shouted and stopped her.

At this time, he could only hold his nose and forcefully find reasons to explain to them:
These two young people are indeed as loving as they said.

"You two should stop it, Xiaoli, why don't you let him go?"

Jiang Wan, who had been silent for a long time, tapped the table with her fingers, looked at the two people snuggling together with an unexpected look, and spoke in an erratic voice.

But Liu Xiaoli buried her head in Cheng Kaiyan's chest and refused to pay attention.

However, Cheng Kaiyan couldn't stand seeing Jiang Wan bullying her girlfriend, so she calmly asked, "No matter what Aunt Wan planned for our marriage, you bullied Sister Xiaoli like this, and you don't allow me to comfort her?"

He himself had never bullied Liu Xiaoli so cruelly.

This girl cried so sadly. She cried like this last time when she just woke up in the Southern Xinjiang Hospital.

When Jiang Wan heard this, her brows furrowed tightly, and she felt something strange in her heart.

Although Cheng Kaiyan said this for her daughter, it made her a little unhappy.

This is obviously my daughter, what does it have to do with you?
Is it your turn as an outsider to make irresponsible remarks?

Although she was unhappy, Jiang Wan was also surprisingly relieved and emotional.

She thought that Cheng Kaiyan would remain silent, be devastated, or even lose her mind because of her harsh rejection.

But I didn't expect that this young man was still so calm.

When he opened his mouth, he was not questioning why he didn't agree to the marriage, nor was he venting his emotions.

Instead, he comforted his daughter's emotions as soon as possible.

"I'm afraid that in Cheng Kaiyan's eyes, Xiaoli is the person he always puts first. The engagement and the broken engagement are not worth mentioning compared to Xiaoli."

Jiang Wan calmly tried to figure out Cheng Kaiyan's thoughts and unconsciously developed a better impression of him.

Of course, her expression did not change at all. She just said sarcastically, "Comfort? Comfort in your arms?"

After she finished speaking, she paused, as if she felt it was too sharp, and slowly sat down, took a sip of the drink and said calmly:
"Eat like you're eating. Sit down, everyone."

"Auntie Wan is right."

Cheng Kaiyan heard Aunt Wan's tone soften and nodded in agreement.

However, Liu Xiaoli ignored her mother and stood there in a huff.

It was only after Cheng Kaiyan and her sister persuaded her kindly that she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, looked at her mother with a complicated expression, and quietly sat down with Cheng Kaiyan again.

The five of them sat down again. Although the atmosphere was a little quiet, it was not as tense as before.

"Eat some food, come on! Xiao Cheng, have some pickled fish..."

Liu Shuhe spoke in a friendly manner to ease the atmosphere.

"Thank you, uncle."

Cheng Kaiyan took the bowl with a smile, took a bite, and praised calmly: "This fish tastes really good. Aunt Wan's cooking skills are really good."

After saying that, he glanced at Liu Xiaoli again and said jokingly with a smile: "Xiaoli, take advantage of the New Year to learn more from Aunt Wan, so that we can have a bite when we return to BJ tomorrow."

"Haha, this is your Aunt Wan's specialty. Come on, let's have one."

Uncle Liu laughed immediately and glanced at his wife imperceptibly.

They both raised their glasses and drank from them.

Jiang Wan naturally took it to heart. Although she knew that this was Cheng Kaiyan's deliberate compliment, she couldn't help but feel a little happy. She replied indifferently, "If you like it, then eat more."

Sister Liu Xiaoling looked at Cheng Kaiyan in amazement, thinking: "She is indeed a writer, she has a lot of words to say."

"Humph……"

Liu Xiaoli snorted unhappily.

Who wants to learn from her? I can do it myself!
But at this moment, she felt both sad and touched.

Comrade Xiao Cheng is a great writer and an honorary professor.

If he hadn't considered himself, how could he be so servile and say such nice things to his mother.

Everyone had different thoughts, but after some operations, the atmosphere finally became much more harmonious.

After a while, Cheng Kaiyan suddenly spoke, attracting everyone's attention:
"Actually, I can understand what Aunt Wan said just now.

As the old saying goes, parents who love their children will plan for them in the long run.

I think there is no mother who does not want her children to find a good man. This is not something that can be fooled by a simple "I love you" or a light promise.

Well, I was a little abrupt in what I said just now. Otherwise, Aunt Wan wouldn't be so excited, and Sister Xiaoli wouldn't be so sad.

I will drink three cups as punishment, and I hope Aunt Wan and Uncle will forgive me, forgive me. "

Cheng Kaiyan filled the glass, stood up, raised his glass to Jiang Wan and Liu Jianshe, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Kaiyan, you are a considerate and good child. Uncle will have a drink with you."

When Liu Jianshe heard Cheng Kaiyan's sincere words, he was also moved and raised his glass to drink.

Jiang Wan nodded silently.

The parents didn't want their daughter to find a good home. If their daughter Xiaoli hadn't sacrificed so much, she wouldn't have chosen to be the bad person.

Cheng Kaiyan's words touched her heart.

But what surprised her even more was that the reason why Cheng Kaiyan was willing to take the responsibility and say these words was actually to ease the relationship between Xiaoli and her.

"Cough cough..."

Cheng Kaiyan drank two glasses of wine in a row. He drank too quickly and choked on the alcohol, and his face turned red.

"Okay, stop drinking."

Liu Xiaoli and Jiang Wan called for a stop almost at the same time.

After saying this, the mother and daughter made eye contact, but then immediately separated.

"call……"

After hearing this, Cheng Kaiyan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He could probably guess what Aunt Wan meant now.

Perhaps Aunt Wan felt that she couldn't let herself go through the previously arranged child marriage so easily and entrust her daughter to her in such a confused manner.

And Sister Xiaoli has given too much.

Cheng Kaiyan still remembers what Aunt Wan said in the hospital last year. She also said that she would see Cheng Kaiyan's specific performance.

In this case, the matter of engagement has to be put aside for the time being. It won’t be too late to bring it up again when Aunt Wan agrees.

After realizing this, Cheng Kaiyan felt better.

"Eat some food to relax."

The strong smell of alcohol from his breath made Liu Xiaoli feel a little choked. She quickly picked up some vegetables for him and looked at him with half concern and half blame.

"understood."

Cheng Kaiyan ate it obediently.

The atmosphere became much more relaxed afterwards, and everyone tacitly agreed not to mention the engagement again.

Then we started talking about Liu Xiaoli and her friends' studies and work in BJ.

During this time, Liu Xiaoli finished her meal and suddenly remembered the gifts she and Cheng Kaiyan bought. She informed her sister and went upstairs with her.

After a while, he came downstairs and put the gift on the dining table.

"Mom, this is the gift Kaiyan brought you, would you like to take a look?"

Liu Xiaoli handed over the square box in her hand.

Jiang Wan opened it and saw a silk scarf with a white pearly sheen. She asked, "This silk scarf is not cheap, is it?"

"This is Du Jinsheng's real silk scarf, it costs 18 yuan each. Kaiyan liked it at first sight and said it would look great on you."

Liu Xiaoli raised her chin and explained.

"is it?"

Jiang Wan looked at her daughter and Cheng Kaiyan suspiciously, feeling that the two were trying to please her secretly.

"of course."

Liu Xiaoli nodded seriously, walked to her mother and put it on her personally.

It is indeed very luxurious.

"Have a heart."

Jiang Wan nodded slightly, her eyes softening a little.

"Cough cough."

The drunk father-in-law Liu Jianshe couldn't help coughing twice, trying to attract everyone's attention.

"Okay, okay, it's your turn."

Liu Xiaoli handed over the box with classical and exquisite packaging. "This is the best tea, called Da Hong Pao. It is very precious."

"alright."

Liu Jianshe was a little drunk and just knew it was tea so he put it aside and didn't pay much attention to it.

After giving the gifts, everyone dispersed. Liu Jianshe sat on the sofa to rest, and Liu Xiaoling returned to her room.

Jiang Wanze and Liu Xiaoli went to clean the table and put away the dishes.

Cheng Kaiyan drank a little too much at noon today. He leaned against a stool with his eyes closed, and it was unclear whether he was asleep or awake.

"Kaiyan? Kaiyan?"

"Wake up, don't sleep here, or you'll catch a cold."

after awhile.

Liu Xiaoli came out of the kitchen after cleaning up and saw that her partner was a little unconscious. She pushed Cheng Kaiyan anxiously.

"Hmm? Huhu...A fairy?"

Cheng Kaiyan opened his eyes dazedly, breathing heavily. The scene in front of him opened and closed. He could only vaguely see a familiar face calling him anxiously in front of him, and he responded in a mysterious way.

Immortal?

puff...

Liu Xiaoli was originally feeling a little flustered, but when she heard this she burst out laughing.

She suddenly remembered that when Comrade Xiao Cheng came to Jiangcheng Theater to pick her up last summer, there happened to be a performance of Chang'e Flying to the Moon. These were the two words he shouted when he came over with flowers.

"A fairy? So Comrade Xiao Cheng really thinks so. I thought he was just flattering me on purpose, hehe!"

Liu Xiaoli was delighted. While Cheng Kaiyan was still dazed, she leaned over and rubbed her hands on Cheng Kaiyan's red face, pinching it from time to time.

After playing for a while and feeling satisfied, Liu Xiaoli woke him up and helped him upstairs.

……

On the other side, Jiang Wan put the dishes in order.

Suddenly I remembered that I had not prepared a guest room for Cheng Kaiyan because I was doing housework in the morning, went to the station to wait for someone to pick me up, and then came back and kept cooking.

Only then did she remember what had happened.

Realizing this, Jiang Wan wiped her hands, took off her apron and walked out of the kitchen.

But he didn't see Cheng Kaiyan, so he asked, "Old Liu, where is Cheng Kaiyan?"

"I went up with Xiaoli."

Liu Jianshe was resting on the sofa.

"I just checked and the room hasn't been cleaned yet. Could it be that he went to Xiaoli's room..."

"How far have things progressed between these two people? Xiaoli has always been reserved and dignified. She must know her limits."

Jiang Wan frowned immediately, but soon felt relieved when she thought of her daughter's character, and Cheng Kaiyan was drunk, so nothing could happen.

However, the beautiful woman turned around and walked up the stairs quickly.

After a while, he arrived at the door of Liu Xiaoli's room.

Jiang Wan discovered that the door was indeed ajar.

She realized something was wrong, and quickly held her breath and moved closer to take a look inside. Her pretty face suddenly turned dark.

Daughter Liu Xiaoli was seen gently supporting Cheng Kaiyan and placing her on her own bed.

Then he leaned over and started to take off his clothes until he was left with only his tight-fitting autumn shirt and autumn trousers.

Then he took a wet towel and wiped his face, neck, arms and other parts.

"Hoohoo!"

Jiang Wan was so angry that her face turned blue, and she wished she could go in and punch her daughter twice.

Not only did you help Cheng Kaiyan to her room, you also took off his clothes and wiped his body???
I asked you to date, not to be a maid!
In just a moment, the impression that Cheng Kaiyan had slightly changed on Jiang Wan suddenly turned 360 degrees.

It fell straight to the bottom!

"Row!"

"Go clean up this room yourself, I won't serve you anymore!"

Just as Jiang Wan was standing at the door, her face gloomy and her teeth gnashing.

The half-closed door suddenly opened.

Liu Xiaoli looked calm as she slowly walked up to her mother and looked at her quietly for a long time.

The mother and daughter confronted each other.

Suddenly Liu Xiaoli bit her lip and said abruptly:

"Mom, actually, the childhood engagement between Cheng Kaiyan and I was cancelled a long time ago."

"what?"

When Jiang Wan heard this, she looked at her daughter in surprise.

"When?"

"December, nineteen seventy-nine."
