Xu Xiangbei was woken up by a crying sound in the morning. He thought it was Gu Xinyan crying, so he quickly rushed from the bedroom to the living room, only to find Lu Xiaomei and Hua Ji sitting disheveled on the sofa. Lu Xiaomei’s eyes were red and swollen from crying, and she was wiping away her tears as she cried.

Gu Xinyan seemed to have come out of the bedroom at the same time as Xu Xiangbei and looked at this scene in surprise.

Gu Xinyan’s beautiful eyes were full of astonishment, and she asked Xu Xiangbei, "What happened?"

Xu Xiangbei was at a loss: "I don’t know, I was sleeping drowsily and heard someone crying, so I came out. Brother Hua Ji, are you guys playing some game?"

Lu Xiaomei wiped her tears and suddenly sobbed dramatically, "He bullied me, Brother Xu, Miss Gu, you have to stand up for me."

Xu Xiangbei and Gu Xinyan looked at each other in confusion. Lu Xiaomei is over six feet tall and is skilled in the Lu Family Fist, while Hua Ji is a little over five feet and can’t even hurt a fly. No one would believe that Hua Ji bullied Lu Xiaomei.

Xu Xiangbei asked in confusion, "Stop crying and putting on that act. How could Hua Ji bully you?"

Seeing that Xu Xiangbei didn’t believe her, Lu Xiaomei cried even louder, leaning in front of Gu Xinyan’s wheelchair: "Miss Gu, I’m telling the truth, you have to help me. My mom said never to let a man touch you, and I was touched by a man. What do I do now?"

Gu Xinyan gently wiped her tears and said softly, "Stop crying and speak clearly."

Xu Xiangbei didn’t believe Hua Ji would do something improper to Lu Xiaomei, but Hua Ji admitted it himself.

He looked guilty and said, "I’m sorry, I did something worse than a beast, I owe this girl an apology."

A blush appeared on Gu Xinyan’s pure and jade-like face: "What did you do to her?"

Hua Ji answered sincerely, "Last night, I might have... I was too drunk, I can’t remember anything."

Xu Xiangbei asked Lu Xiaomei: "He can’t remember, can you? Weren’t you sleeping in Gu Xinyan’s bedroom last night? How did you end up sleeping on the sofa?"

Lu Xiaomei finally stopped crying, her mouth pouting like a stuffed bun, fiddling with the hems, and said hesitantly, "I was almost asleep last night when I heard him say he wanted water, so I got up and poured him a glass. Then he said it was hot, so I took his clothes off. But then he spilled water on my clothes, and since my clothes were wet, I took them off, and he hugged me and was rude to me. It’s so embarrassing, I can’t say the rest."

"My mom said that if a man touches you, you have to marry that man. You touched me, so I have to marry you."

Lu Xiaomei looked at Hua Ji aggressively, but Hua Ji was silent. Hearing Lu Xiaomei said this, he nodded with a fearless expression: "Fine, I will marry you."

After hearing this, Lu Xiaomei’s eyes lit up, her face became red with shyness. She rubbed the hem of her clothes and asked sweetly, "Do you really want to marry me?" 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Hua Ji sincerely nodded, "I do."

"My mom said, if you want to marry me, you have to take me out to dinner, to watch movies, and help with the farm work. How many bags of corn can you carry?"

Hua Ji smiled at Lu Xiaomei, "I’m not that strong, I probably can’t even carry one bag of corn, but I can fix cars, and I have a few million in savings, so I should be able to support you."

Lu Xiaomei’s face shone with an excited blush, "It’s okay, I don’t need you to support me, I can work and earn money. If you can’t carry corn, I will."

Xu Xiangbei watched in shock from the side. Just a moment ago, Lu Xiaomei seemed desperate, but now the two were discussing marriage.

He couldn’t accept it and stopped Lu Xiaomei from continuing to talk.

"Wait a minute, are you two acting? Did Gu Xinyan get you to rehearse a scene for a new Qinghai Film and Television movie?"

Gu Xinyan shook her head helplessly and glanced at Xu Xiangbei with sarcasm: "I really worry about your IQ, do you think I’m having Lu Xiaomei act?"

Xu Xiangbei scratched his head, "It kind of feels like it."

Gu Xinyan flipped her hair with a gentle and charming smile: "I truly admire your IQ. There’s nothing more for us here. Can you push me downstairs for breakfast?"

Seeing Gu Xinyan wanting to go downstairs, Lu Xiaomei went to the bedroom to get a piece of clothing to drape over Gu Xinyan.

While Lu Xiaomei was gone, Xu Xiangbei asked Hua Ji in confusion, "Do you really like her? Want to marry her, or are you being threatened? No worries, I’ll back you up."

Hua Ji laughed generously: "Thank you, Dr. Xu, I liked her from the first moment I saw her this morning. I really mean to marry her."

Xu Xiangbei looked at Hua Ji, feeling like he was being forced, but Gu Xinyan sighed and shook her head: "Push me outside, stop standing there dumbfounded."

As he pushed Gu Xinyan into the hallway, she smiled and said: "Aren’t you a fool? Lu Xiaomei is so strong; if she wasn’t interested in Hua Ji, how could she be with him? Ten Hua Ji couldn’t force Lu Xiaomei."

Xu Xiangbei suddenly realized: "You mean they fell in love at first sight? Then why was Lu Xiaomei crying and acting desperate?"

"You men don’t understand girls. No matter how strong she is, she’s still a girl. She can’t force Hua Ji to marry her, she wants us to stand up and witness for her."

Xu Xiangbei impatiently said: "Women are so troublesome. That said, these two have a rather unique taste."

Gu Xinyan’s smile was sweet: "This could be a good match. People say that when pursuing love, you’re looking for your missing half. People with the same personality together are not easily attracted to each other. In contrast, different personalities, complementary people, are more easily attracted to each other. For example, two outgoing people who both talk endlessly, will they be attracted to each other? If one is outgoing and the other is introverted, one keeps talking while the other likes to listen silently, that’s how they attract each other."

"So you mean Hua Ji is small and outgoing, while Lu Xiaomei is a big and introverted person, and they attract each other? That seems likely."

Xu Xiangbei thought of something and secretly made a call to Qian Feng: "What kind of girl did Hua Ji like before? Tall or short?"

Qian Feng asked curiously, "Why are you interested in this, curiosity kills the cat. I can’t explain it to you over the phone, but I happen to have a photo of that girl, I’ll send it to you so you can see for yourself."

When Xu Xiangbei saw the photo Qian Feng sent over, he couldn’t help but smile wryly. The girl in the photo was tall and slightly plump, looking a lot like Lu Xiaomei. No wonder Hua Ji said he liked Lu Xiaomei from the first moment he saw her this morning.

The apartment elevator seemed to be fixed, and the button could be pressed.

Xu Xiangbei and Gu Xinyan stood there waiting for the elevator, and as the apartment door opened, Hua Ji and Lu Xiaomei walked out, beaming with happiness.
