“Shi Shi…” Liuli didn’t know how to console Shi Shi. “It’s okay, sometimes it feels good to vent.”

“Oh, by the way, since you can’t be my maid of honor, will you be attending my wedding?” Shi Shi asked with a smile.

“Sorry, 1 have something to do on that day, so I won’t be able to make it.”

“When you get married, Jingqi and I can come to celebrate with you, okay?” Liuli said apologetically.

“Sure, but I’ll have to wait until I return to the country. On the second day of my wedding, I’m leaving with my husband.”

“Oh, then 1’11 wait for you to come back. My cell phone number is still the same. You can contact me and Jingqi when you’re back in the country.”

“Oops, I forgot that you lost your phone. I’ll send you the number!”

…..

“Let’s stay in touch! And 1 wish you a joyful wedding and a lifetime of happiness!”

“Thank you!”

After the conversation with Shi Shi, Liuli felt even more troubled.

She felt that Shi Shi had something to say to her, but failed to say that out loud anyway.

She wanted to ask her, but she did not have the courage to. She was afraid that Shi Shi would get hurt somehow.

But what Shi Shi said was that people would always give up something when making a choice.

Liuli did not know if Shi Shi was referring to the college entrance examination or the dream college.

But she knew that as long as Shi Shi was willing to, she could still make it as an excellent student, like before.

She had intended to pack up, but because of the conversation with Jingqi and Shi Shi, she had no time to do so.

So she decided to do the packing the following day.

Liuli put down the phone, grabbed the clothes from the closet and went into the bathroom to take a bath.

She walked out of the bathroom, combed her half-dried hair, took over the cell phone and sat by the bedside to see if there was any new news.

One message was from Lin Jingqi, saying that everyone was free to attend Shi Shi’s wedding.

Those who were going to the hotel would get 400 yuan for the red packet and met at the entrance of the supermarket.

Liuli replied. She also gave her the money and asked Lin Jingqi to give her the card number. She transferred the money into her card and asked Lin Jingqi to pay for her on the wedding day.

Lin Jingqi suggested that Liuli could go out first, and they would exchange the money when they met again. Liuli responded with a simple “okay.”

Since her hair was still wet, she couldn’t fall asleep until it dried. While waiting, she wondered if Mr. Tang had already fallen asleep. Curiosity got the better of her, so she sent him a message to inquire.

“Ringing, is the man asleep?”

Rather than replying via text, Mr. Tang decided to call her directly. Liuli picked up the phone and couldn’t resist asking,

“Uncle, don’t you like texting?”

“Don’t you think making a phone call is faster and more convenient?” Tang Moxi replied with a smile.

“But texting is fun!”

“Alright, I’ll text you next time when I’m not busy.”

“I almost forgot that you’re a very busy man.”

“Will you make the man pay for everything before we get married?”

“Yes, yes, we won’t deduct any expenses. We should make a few more calls!” Liuli responded proudly.

Well, she had no such thoughts either. She was just used to that already.

“Am 1 that old?” Tang Moxi asked helplessly.

“You want the truth?”

“Yes!”

“You are 12 years older than me!”

“Do you know what it means to be 12 years older?”

“You were almost graduating from primary school when I was born.”

“When 1 graduated from elementary school, you were graduating from college.”

“You have been in the society for years, when I was just about to go to school…”

“Do you think that the gap between us is as big as the Pacific Ocean?” Liuli kept babbling.

“Um…”

“But the good thing is that you are not in a hurry to get even older.”

“When you get dressed and say that you have just graduated from college, and many people would believe that!” Liuli consoled him.

“So the conclusion is…?”

“You are older than me, but luckily, you are handsome enough to compensate that gap.”

“We are a match made in heaven, Uncle!” Liuli said and burst into laughter.

Tang Moxi was startled at first, but the next second, he shook his head with a smile.

“Liuli, you are getting more and more spoiled!”

“Well, Rich and spoiled is what girls are always like, but 1 am young and spoiled.”

“Tell me, Uncle, what is your opinion of being a good-looking girl?” Liuli gossiped.

“You don’t like what I said to you today?” Tang Moxi countered.

“Well… I don’t mind.”

“1 am not a striking, beautiful woman anyway.”

She was just curious.

“You can say that I am a pretty girl from a small family, that 1 am elegant and charming, or 1 am gentle and nice!”

“You want me to lie?”

“Uncle, can’t you just sugarcoat those words?” Liuli was furious.

“1 just don’t think that lying is a good thing, especially if it you to believe that you are my concubine.” Tang Moxi answered calmly.

“You have a wife?” Liuli interrogated.

“In a few years, you will become the wife when she gets older.”

“In a few years’ time, you will grow older and become an old wife!”

“Get lost!” Liuli laughed. “You are the old man, grandpa!”

“Girl, are you scared?” Tang Moxi asked. “Of what?” Liuli was startled.

“We are getting married the day after tomorrow!”

“Isn’t it too late to ask about this?”
