Zhang Fangyuan had never seen Xu He like this before, and suddenly he was at a loss. He tried to wipe his tears but was avoided.
Although he was unhappy and aggrieved in his heart, he still softened his tone and said, "I never want anyone other than you, so stop thinking about it."
"I thought... you were thinking about it." Xu He's voice was a little hoarse, he buried his face on Zhang Fangyuan's chest: "I know many families in the city, and also the Fei family..."
Before he finished speaking, he knew that Zhang Fangyuan understood.
"I have never thought about it, and I will never think about it in the future." Zhang Fangyuan's tone was a bit urgent and domineering: "If someone wants to bring people in, even if you bring them in, then I will kick them out!"
Xu He raised his head and took a long look at Zhang Fangyuan.
"If I had known you would think like this, I should have bought two men when you told me to buy servants."
Zhang Fangyuan pulled Xu He into his arms again. Xu He leaned on the person's shoulder lingeringly: "I understand, I won't think like this again in the future. I will handle this matter."
Zhang Fangyuan asked cautiously: "You won't settle someone behind my back, right?"
"How could that be?" Xu He slapped him on his arm: "Since I know what you are thinking, of course I won't trouble you anymore."
Zhang Fangyuan responded, hugged the person tightly and took a long breath. He looked at the mosquito net, caressed Xu He's back, and couldn't help but think of the past.
"You wanted to find me a concubine as soon as you opened your mouth. In the early years, I approached you and proposed marriage on birthday of the flower, and you agreed immediately. You were like this because you wanted to leave the Xu family. In fact, you..."
[花朝节 huā zhāo jié: Birthday of the Flowers, spring festival on lunar 12th or 15th February]
"Why are you bringing up old matters when we're taking about the future?"
Zhang Fangyuan: "So anxious to interrupt!"
"I just don't want you to misunderstand." Xu He pursed his lips. He could let Zhang Fangyuan question anything, but he couldn't question his feeling for him.
He held Zhang Fangyuan's hand in his hand: "Perhaps you thought the reason I agreed to your proposal quickly and hastily because I had a plan. But when I grew up, year after year, everyone only revolved around my second sister. You were the only one who cared about me. "
Afraid that he would be blown by the cold wind, afraid that he would get sick and have no money for medical treatment, he would carry him on his back and give him a hair tie. Even though he was colder and calmer than ordinary people of his age, he still couldn't stand his continuous sugar-coated bullets.
[糖衣炮弹 táng yī pào dàn: lit. Sugar-coated bullets, persuasive methods used to convince someone to do something which isn’t actually in their interest]
Moreover, that wasn't sugar-coated bullet, but his true feeling.
At that time, one of them had a bad reputation and the other was looked down by others. He had once thought wildly on the summer nights when insects were chirping, that in the eyes of others, maybe they were right for each other.
But the more contact he had with Zhang Fangyuan, the more inferior he became. He knew that Zhang Fangyuan was a capable person, and as long as he changed his mind a little, there was nothing he couldn't do.
The fact was that after they got married, they were moving in a good direction step by step. Just like when he thought he had no hope, Zhang Fangyuan said he wanted to marry him.
"I have been harboring feelings for you for a long time without showing any trace. You make me feel that the reason why God made me suffer in the past is to save my luck, just to exchange for you to like me."
Zhang Fangyuan was stunned. He didn't dare to look into Xu He's eyes and scratched the back of his head. Suddenly, his ears turned red due to Xu He's words.
"I see."
They had always been so good to each other that they seldom revealed their true feelings. This time they confessed, and both of them felt clear in their hearts. They lay flat on the bed and held hands tightly.
…
The next day, Zhang Fangyuan packed up: "I'm going to the city, for family matters..."
"Rest assured."
Only then did Zhang Fangyuan leave the house.
Xu He went out and brought Wenzi to the main hall.
Last night, he thought something would happen at home. Wenzi waited uneasily in the room, but he waited until dawn.
After being restless all night, he breathed a sigh of relief now that Xu He asked him to go to the main hall. His face was gray and his eyes were swollen.
He took the initiative to kneel down after entering the room.
"It seems you know what's going on even if I don't tell you."
Wenzi buried his head on the ground and dared not speak.
