Immersive Fast Wear: The Anti-Strike Manual of the Heartthrob

After saying this, Matchmaker Wang remembered something, and she straightened her chest and felt confident.

"Second Master Xie has just come of age, and is in the prime of life. But I heard that your daughter is already 25, and has long passed the prime of life. Now people don't mind your daughter's age, so why do you mind her being soft-hearted?"

"Besides, the two elders of the Xie family said that Master Xie would send those girls away after his marriage."

"I'm really worried. Second Young Master Xie can also marry into the family. After marrying into the family, those people in his backyard can't be brought over. Everything will be decided by the young lady. Isn't this a good condition?"

The further she spoke, the more confident Wang the matchmaker became, and her voice became much louder.

"What's good or bad?"

After waiting in the yard for a long time and not seeing Zhu Qi coming back, Shu Qiu came to look for him.

As she reached the door, she heard someone talking loudly and couldn't help but wonder.

When Matchmaker Wang saw Shu Qiu, her eyes suddenly lit up, and all her fear and guilt were thrown out of her mind.

She had a plump and strong figure. While Zhu Qi was not paying attention, she pushed the others aside and ran to Shu Qiu, repeating what she had said before.

Of course, some words that are not favorable to her are omitted.

"Miss, how is it? Master Xie is really good. You have such a big family, isn't it good to marry someone with a gentle temper?"

Now, Matchmaker Wang finally figured it out and played her last trump card, turning the disadvantage into an advantage.

Zhu Qi suddenly became angry and angrily told the matchmaker all the "small" "problems" in her character that were "not a big deal" and that the matchmaker had hidden.

"She lied to you. She is not a good person..."

"Xiao Qi——"

Shu Qiu pretended to scold Zhu Qi.

She is also doing business and is used to wearing a mask in front of outsiders. She is happy if her superficial gentleness can exchange for fewer conflicts.

Then he turned to the matchmaker, with a faint smile on his face, and his voice was gentle and soft.

"As you said, Mr. Xie is indeed a good person."

The matchmaker immediately smiled happily.

Zhu Qi, who was standing behind Shu Qiu, fell into a long silence.

He didn't understand what he was feeling at the moment. It was sour, bitter, and astringent, and very uncomfortable.

In fact, this is not the first time someone has come to propose to Shu Qiu.

The first time Zhu Qi encountered this kind of thing, he was only fifteen years old.

At that time, the two of them still lived in a small house in the village. Even though Shu Qiu had no parents and her family situation was really poor, there were still many people who came to propose marriage to her because of her looks and embroidery skills.

At that time, Shu Qiu scared away the suitors who were afraid of the burden by saying that she had to take care of her "younger brother" and start a family.

In the following years, as she grew older, she moved to another town with Zhu Qi, and fewer and fewer people came to propose marriage to her.

Even if a few people who think they are extraordinary come to the door, they will be quickly rejected by Shu Qiu.

During these nine years, the two of them have always depended on each other.

Therefore, in Zhu Qi's opinion, they will continue like this.

Unexpectedly, one day, he would hear Shu Qiu praising others. Indescribable uneasiness and panic filled his whole world.

Fortunately, things did not develop into the direction that Zhu Qi least wanted to see.

"I'm just sorry, I have no plans to get married yet. To be honest, I have an engagement. We were childhood sweethearts, and he drowned while trying to save me. I agreed to observe mourning for him for a few years."

When it came to the emotional part, Shu Qiu took out a handkerchief and wiped away his tears, seeming to be very sad.

She has everything she needs now, so why should she find someone to disturb her life?

She didn't want to fall out with him, so after some thought, Shu Qiu came up with a plan: make up a story and turn defense into offense.

A temporary refusal will not last long. It is better to take the initiative and launch an offensive.

"You can understand that, right?"

Shu Qiu looked at the matchmaker, his watery eyes looking at her eagerly, as if waiting for the other party's approval.

The matchmaker hesitated with an awkward expression: "Ah...haha...Miss Shu is such a loving and good girl. But, then again..."

Before the matchmaker could get back to the subject, Shu Qiu smiled happily.

"It's great that you understand me. In fact, I am also very touched by Mr. Xie's intention. If he really wants to marry me so persistently,"

Shu Qiu paused and said,

"It's not like there's no room for change. When I'm thirty, if he comes to ask for marriage again, I'll definitely welcome him."

Thirty years old!!!

By this time, other people’s children may have been studying in school for several years!

"Heh, heh, girl, are you joking?"

The matchmaker laughed awkwardly several times, unable to believe what she heard.

"How could I be joking? Do you think I look like that?"

Shu Qiu deliberately put on a stern face. After all, he was an experienced man. When he put away his smiling face, he exuded some majesty that ordinary people did not have.

Matchmaker Wang shuddered. She felt that Miss Shu looked exactly like the servant who glanced at her with cold eyes.

"No, no. Since you have made up your mind, I can't ruin your mood. Then I will go back first, no need to see me off."

"Yes, I'll go back."

"Mr. Xie? I will tell him that we are not destined to be together. I don't think he will force it."

There is no hope of success at all, so why is she still staying here?

The matchmaker ran away so fast that she didn't even dare to look back.

'She said no.'

Zhu Qi pursed the corners of his lips slightly, forming a small dimple, looking well-behaved and cute.

But soon, some words began to replay in his mind again.

'Just because you don't agree now doesn't mean you won't agree in the future.'

'Just because you don't want to get married now doesn't mean you won't change your mind later.'

'She will leave me one day.'

Realizing this fact, Zhu Qi felt his heart tighten in his chest, and a bitter taste filled his mouth.

He didn't understand why he reacted like that, and he felt distracted the whole day.

At night, Zhu Qi kept thinking about the reason for his abnormality.

His head was filled with messy thoughts, and even sleeping became difficult. He fell asleep only when a little light appeared outside the window.

As a result, in less than an hour, Zhu Qi sat up from the bed with a flushed face.

He recalled the moment in his dream when Shu Qiu turned back to ask about his situation after rejecting the matchmaker, and how he shamelessly leaned forward and bit the person's lips. He lowered his head in shame.

But at the same time as the shame, there are five parts of joy and five parts of enlightenment.

It turned out that this was what he thought about Shu Qiu.

Zhu Qi accepted it very easily.

In fact, rather than saying it is acceptance, it is better to say that I finally broke through the window paper covering my heart.

Zhu Qi was sure that this idea was definitely not something that had just sprouted up today. He didn't know when the seeds were planted, and it grew vigorously every day and finally grew into a towering tree.

It’s just because I don’t understand love that I have lived in a muddle-headed way for so many years.

"Shu Qiu, A Qiu, Qiu Qiu."

In the quiet room, Zhu Qi looked at the bright moon outside the window, whispering softly, each word becoming softer and sweeter than the last.

"How can I be with you?"

He whispered, his eyes gleaming with determination and confidence.

Now that he understood his own thoughts, Zhu Qi knew what he should do.
