Transmigrated as Cannon Fodder — I Rise to Female Lead Through Hard Work-Chapter 154: Accompanying on the Matchmaking Meeting
June 21st, Saturday.
Today Yi Roujing needs to accompany Yi Weiliang to a matchmaking event, planned to leave the house on Bright Alley at eleven, but when she woke up, it was already 10:45.
Yi Roujing hurriedly got up, endured the soreness to dress, and when she saw the sporadic hickey marks on her neck in the full-length mirror, she was furious, "Ding Ancheng—"
The door opened on cue, Ding Ancheng walked in looking delighted, "Wife, let me give you a massage."
"Look at what you’ve done." Yi Roujing pointed at her neck, her face showing a hint of exasperation, "How am I supposed to meet people like this?"
"By Monday they’ll definitely be gone." Ding Ancheng said earnestly and a bit flatteringly, "Let’s not have meals at Anmin’s place in the next two days, I’ll make food for you myself."
"Ah—" Yi Roujing remembered, she hadn’t told Ding Ancheng about accompanying Yi Weiliang today.
"What’s the matter, what’s the matter." Ding Ancheng quickly stepped forward to hug Yi Roujing’s slender waist, "Are you going out?"
"Today my third brother is going to a matchmaking event, and I’m going with him, I forgot to tell you about it earlier." Yi Roujing glared at Ding Ancheng, puffed up with anger.
Ding Ancheng found her adorable, lowered his head and pecked Yi Roujing’s rosy lips, recalling his recklessness last night, "My fault, my fault, I’ll accompany third brother."
"What do you know." Yi Roujing sneered, "What if the girl doesn’t like third brother but likes you, wouldn’t it backfire then?"
"I have a wife." Ding Ancheng chuckled softly, "That should ward off any unrealistic ideas from others."
Nonsense, Yi Roujing really wanted to swear, there were already clear examples with Li Xipei and Song Yiluo, but she didn’t plan to say it, after all, Ding Ancheng had been doing well, this issue wasn’t his fault.
Yi Roujing found a red silk scarf in the wardrobe, wrapped it around her neck, tied a small flat knot on the side, and looked at it meticulously back and forth, confirming there were no marks showing, finally felt relieved.
"It’s just a bit hot." Yi Roujing said slightly dissatisfied.
"I’ve had a fan ordered, it’ll arrive in a few days." Ding Ancheng leaned in and whispered, Yi Roujing looked even more beautiful with the scarf on, he just wanted to hide her away.
"I don’t have time, I need to be at Bright Alley by eleven." Yi Roujing pinched Ding Ancheng and then quickly went to freshen up, changed into a white floral long-sleeved dress, put on a pair of embroidered canvas shoes, yes, perfect.
"I’ll give you a ride." Ding Ancheng brought out a bowl of soup, "But have some of this before we go, you skipped breakfast."
A bowl of ginger sugar egg soup, just the right warmth, the rim of the bowl was wet, Yi Roujing knew Ding Ancheng must have cooled it in water, her heart warmed, and she downed it in one go.
Reached the house on Bright Alley at exactly eleven, Yi Weiliang had actually cleaned up a bit today, white shirt, black trousers, wearing leather shoes, he even specifically washed his hair last night making it very fluffy.
The Yi Family’s looks are indeed good, Yi Weiliang has chiseled features, standing at 1.76 meters, the tallest among the three brothers, with the outfit to complement, becoming quite the handsome guy.
"Wow, go third brother." Ding Anmin raised her right hand into a fist to cheer, then turned around with a change of expression and slapped Ding Anguo on the back, "You better work hard too."
Ding Anmin’s actions made everyone laugh.
"Third brother, let’s go." Yi Roujing and Yi Weiliang, one stunning and one handsome, walked down the street drawing lots of attention.
"Third brother, when looking for a wife, be discerning, family conditions and education are secondary, the most important thing is character, she must be kind." Yi Roujing reminded Yi Weiliang on the way.
"But people are the best at pretending, kindness isn’t always visible on the surface, just rely on your instincts." As she spoke it sounded more confusing, so Yi Roujing simply shut up, she had no experience anyways, got married straight away, she’s in no position to talk.
"Roujing, I’m going to buy some things, just in case there are kids from the other family, need some candies to hand out, you wait under that shady tree for me." Yi Weiliang instructed then went to the store across the street.
Seeing her third brother acting like this, Yi Roujing felt he was serious about getting married, probably related to having secured a job, Yi Roujing’s lips curled up, feeling a bit joyful, whether at her husband’s home or her parents’ home, things are getting better and better.
Today Yi Roujing wore a dress without pockets, so she carried a black embroidered cloth bag, about the size of two adult palms, to hold essentials like keys and tissues.
Of course, snacks and candies could fit too, Yi Roujing had put in a few milk candies, and as she waited, naturally took one out to eat.
"Candy, candy—" With a milk candy in her mouth, Yi Roujing looked down to see a scruffy-haired, dirty-faced boy sucking on his right index finger at her feet, he looked about four or five years old.
"Xiaogui, stop running around." A girl just over ten, with slightly dry hair in a braid, wearing a washed-out white blue dress, came running over, her little face clean and white, apologized to Yi Roujing.
"Sorry, big sister, my brother is young and doesn’t understand, please don’t hold it against him." The girl spoke a bit timidly.
"Candy, candy." The little boy pointed at the candy wrapper in Yi Roujing’s hand with drooling lips, but only said those words, didn’t make a move.
Yi Roujing took out a milk candy from her bag and handed it to the little boy, "Candy, for you."
The sound of swallowing, Yi Roujing noticed it was from the little girl.
"Thank you, big sister." The girl expressed gratitude on behalf and led her brother away.
Seeing Yi Weiliang still waiting in line at the store, the ginger sugar egg soup from this morning made Yi Roujing feel the urgency, so she went to the nearby public restroom.
If not for the pressing need, Yi Roujing really didn’t want to use the public restroom, it was too dirty, and families nearby without toilets were coming and going with chamber pots.
Washing her hands clean, Yi Roujing left the restroom and encountered the brother and sister duo again around the corner.
"Candy, candy." The little boy cravingly said, "Sister, candy, eat."
"Yes, okay, sister will eat candy." Yi Roujing watched as the little girl unwrapped a candy and popped the whole piece into her mouth, "Wow, milk candy is so delicious."
"Candy, candy, I, I." The little boy pointed at himself, eyes showing some disappointment, but he didn’t cry or make a fuss.
"Look, the wrapper still has flavor, just lick it." The girl handed the wrapper to the boy, he took it, cautiously stuck out his tongue and licked it, "Sweet."
"Alright, let’s hurry up, mom and the others must be waiting impatiently." The girl happily sang a song as she walked ahead, the boy followed closely behind.
Yi Roujing watched them walk off, her brows slightly furrowing.
When Yi Roujing reached the tree, Yi Weiliang was already there, seeing Yi Roujing return safely, he sighed in relief.
"Where did you go?"
"Went to the public restroom."
Yi Weiliang carrying a bag of fruit candies, walked with Yi Roujing toward the Huaixi County state-owned restaurant.
