Chapter 43 He is My Brother (4)

  This difficult question was thrown to me, and how to answer it depends on my one sentence. I remained silent for a moment, weighing between my father and myself. I handed the thing back to Auntie Cheng, then slowly said, "If the other party is a son, I will go to the matchmaking."

  After saying this, it was as if a big stone had fallen to the ground. I only then realized that not only did I let out a breath, but my father and Cheng Auntie also breathed a sigh of relief. My father took one last drag on his cigarette, pressed the butt into the ashtray, and extinguished the flame.

  "I'm not the kind of father who would sell his own daughter." The words still carried a hint of weariness, but they didn't quite match the expression he was showing now. He stood up and walked over to ruffle my hair, saying "Thanks."

  A word of gratitude contains a lot, I couldn't help but leave tears in the corner of my eyes, from now on my own fate is no longer blank, and the predetermined fate can only continue to turn with the gears.

  Father Zhang opened his mouth but couldn't say a word, choking back tears for a long time. In the end, it was Auntie Cheng who spoke on his behalf. She said, "Weiwei, this matter is quite urgent. If possible, go with us tomorrow to meet your future in-laws."

  "Alright, alright." There's no need to ask any more questions, they've been saying this to me from the start, and the other party is a boy. If the two families are going to be in-laws, I'll have to go. I haven't even had time to properly enjoy my youth, and yet everything has already been decided so quickly. I sniffled, stood up, and headed upstairs, "It's so hot today, Dad, Auntie Cheng, I'm going to take a bath before coming down for dinner. You two go ahead and eat..."

  I went upstairs, entered the house and closed the door. I lay on my desk, looking at the starry sky outside the window, wondering if tomorrow would be such a clear night, and whether I could count the stars one by one.

  I thought I was the only one who couldn't sleep on a night like this, so I got up at midnight and went downstairs to pour myself a glass of water. Seeing someone's shadow in the kitchen, I quietly walked over to take a look, and that's when I saw Xia Muju crouched beside the kitchen, gnawing on an apple. He noticed an extra shadow on the ground, looked up with half an apple still in his mouth, and only then did he see me. A faint flush rose to his face.

  We just looked at each other, lacking language exchange, replaced by laughter. I drank a glass of water and walked upstairs shaking my head.

  The next day, the sky was clear and sunny, great weather. I pulled up the curtains to block out the scorching sunlight pouring in. Hesitating over the few sets of clothes on my bed, I had no idea what to wear downstairs for dinner, really clueless about this blind date thing, which one should I wear?

  "Knock knock."

  "Please come in." At this time, I was picking up a piece of clothing and thought about it before making a decision.
