Chapter 6: Sudden sympathy (1)
I thought that the meal today, where both hosts and guests were happy, was good enough, and did not expect that other parents would be so great. Knowing, it's really true that turning on a furnace provides warm and mellow atmosphere, I felt extremely well ... not happy!!!.
What warm and mellow? It was basically the three of them standing on the same united front, discussing our wedding along with honeymoon and various other arrangements to achieve agreement, even had begun discussing the child’s upbringing and whether or not should give birth to a second child was also discussed!
Because three of them were eager to see Jiang Li and I "in a home" so the wedding was fixed to be held after two weeks.
Jiang’s Father, still relatively sensible, proposed to ask the opinion of two kids, as a result two mothers almost in unison said: "Ask him [her], why!"
I could not resist, because I had phobia of literature.
Jiang Li did not protest, because he was a good son.
So, both of us ate silently. Extraordinarily calm, I picked up a piece of star anise put into the bowl of Jiang Li, he did not protest to this!
Jiang Li reciprocity also put a fish head in my bowl, what I also dared not to protest!
Then those abnormally excited people began to discuss honeymoon, I did not want to go to honeymoon and wanted even less to go on one with a gay man, but seeing everyone so excited, I could not bring myself to say "No", good or bad, whatever the outcome, now Jiang Li and I had to act as a loving couple, ah. Glancing at Jiang Li, he seemed to have the same idea.
So when parents asked where we want to go on our honeymoon, I happily answered Maldives, Jiang Li persistently wanted to go to northern Europe. Two places with completely different style, hard to find a compromising point.
So both the mothers and father directly ignored Jiang Li, determined Maldives as the destination.
I laughed, this is the gender advantage. What was he looking at, now what was he looking at? Who told him to not to be a woman!
Looked at the table the three elderly talking more and more excitedly, spontaneously a sense of guilt arouse from within my heart, so leaned over Jiang Li’ ear, nervously said: "you tell me that we are not being excessive, right?" They were so happy, but we were only pretending.
Jiang Li said: "The effect of lying is to make people happy, they're pleased, we are satisfied with this outcome, who cares if the way we used to do so is fake.”
I thought about his somewhat strange words, though temporarily did not know how to refute them but nonetheless uneasily said: “but, they are talking about children….”
Jiang Li with his index finger and thumb gently grabbed my arm and placed on the edge of the table, his mouth almost attached to my ears, blowing hot air in, told me: "You want to give birth or you don’t want to give birth but I also have ways."
I was relieved.
A long time later, Jiang Li told me, actually at that time he did not speak the last sentence, "You don’t want to give birth, I also have a way to make you give birth!" .... Jiang Li that scum!
...
Those three unscrupulous parents fixed wedding to be held after two weeks, this was only my fate’s fault. Fortunately, they also had conscience to assist in the arrangements of everything, as it is, it was not an easy matter, nevertheless, arranging a wedding within two weeks, it was really hard.
Luckily now I was not employed. But oddly enough Jiang Li did not go to work every day. It was not appropriate at all, he looked like a powerful man, perhaps he had lost his job?
I asked Jiang Li, he vaguely replied: "How can work be more important than marriage.”
Liar !!!
