♂?，，

  Everyone went with joy, except for Zhuāngzi and Táo Zǐ who politely declined.

  "Brick said: 'Wang Hao, come, I have something to say to you.'"

  I told my dad, "You guys wait here, I'll go talk to this friend for a bit." Then I went with Zhuāng Tóu and Táo Zǐ to the stone lion several meters away. I thought to myself, if Zhuāng Tóu wants to beat me up, then let him do it, but this time I must make things clear with him. Since Xià Xuě didn't owe me anything, then I couldn't owe her either. As for Táo Zǐ, even if I owed her more, that's okay.

  "Yesterday at noon in the cafeteria," said Brick. "I originally wanted to tell you, Peach didn't have any temper, she had already figured out that it was a trap set by Su Xiaobai. She had planned to go and explain later, but didn't end up going. I got anxious and went to find her."

  I stared at Taozi in astonishment. I knew this girl was clever, but had no idea how she saw through the trap.

  Taozi said: "That night, Su Xiaobai found me and said that he saw Wang Hao and Ye Qianqian going out together. He wanted me to go with him to see what's going on. I thought to myself, what does it have to do with me if Wang Hao goes out with someone? He's not my boyfriend after all."

  At this point, Brick's mouth twitched, but he didn't say anything. Peach continued: "I felt something was off at the time, but I really wanted to see him, so I followed him out. Along the way, it seemed like he knew exactly where we were going and led me straight to that secluded little road outside the boiler room. Ye Qianqian was leaning against my chest, and I saw her shoulders shaking, clearly crying. As soon as Su Xiaobai and I stood there, Ye Qianqian immediately lifted her head, and the tears on her face disappeared."

  As I recalled that evening, it was indeed just like what Taozi described, so I nodded in agreement.

  Taozi continued: "Then Su Xiaobai and Ye Qianqian began to sing and harmonize, one asking why he was holding his girlfriend, the other complaining that she had been seduced by Wang Hao."

  "I couldn't help it: 'They're talking nonsense!'"

  "Right." Peach said helplessly: "To be honest, their acting skills are quite good, they get angry when they should and cry when they should, but the whole process is too unreasonable. I immediately guessed that this was a play arranged by Su Xiaobai for me to see."

  I was convinced by Taozi's wisdom, but still asked: "Then why did you turn around and leave at that time?"

  Peach looked at me and said, "Because I knew that she had already reached the limit of her patience and was definitely going to give Su Xiaobai a good beating. I've never liked watching violent scenes, and I was also worried that it would be embarrassing for her to take action in front of me. So I left first, thinking that she would definitely come to explain things to me the next day, but she didn't show up, so I had no choice but to ask my brother to go find her."

  "Ah, yes. I think that since we're already husband and wife, what misunderstanding can't be cleared up? So I went to the cafeteria to find him, just as he was about to dry the wheat. I asked if he needed help, and he said no."

  I heard the brick mention "husband and wife" again, thinking that this time it must be made clear.

  Taozi was the first to speak up: "Brother, didn't we agree not to mention this matter again? What's with this husband and wife nonsense, it's all just a farce!"

  "King Hao, you'll regret it, definitely will regret it. My sister is so good, I've secretly taken care of how many guys who wanted to pursue her over the years? Ah, truly unaware of the blessings one has..."

  The brick said, and I felt a few more points of guilt in my heart. Táozi hurriedly said: "Yesterday when the car took us away, my brother and I saw what Xiàxuě did. At that time, I thought this girl's love was too intense. Wáng Hào, you shouldn't wrong her. So I decided to quit and not have any psychological burden. My brother and I have already talked about it, and he won't bother us again in the future. Now there's nothing wrong, and from now on, just be with Xiàxuě peacefully."

  I was deeply moved as I looked at Taozi, this girl's goodness has already exceeded what language can express.

  As she spoke, Taozi's eyes turned red again. She hastily lowered her head, as if hiding something, and whispered: "Wang Hao, hold me. I just want to be held, and then there will be nothing left to worry about..."

  My blood rushed up, and I stretched out my arms to hold the peach in my bosom. The peach's hair was fragrant and soft, making my heart feel sour.

  "Alright, Wang Hao, I and brother are leaving." Taozi struggled free, flashing a smile at me.

  I nodded slightly, and Brick said: "Wang Hao, I have a few more words that I want to discuss with you privately."

  "Brother!" Taozi said with a hint of complaint: "Didn't I already tell you? Don't go telling Wang Hao all sorts of nonsense again."

  "No way," said Brickhead: "I'll tell Wang Hao something else." Ignoring Taozi's objections, he took me to another place.

  A brick was pressed against my shoulder, with his back to the peach tree, he walked five or six meters, and suddenly a fierce punch hit my stomach. Good heavens, this punch was really something I could take, if I hadn't been hungry, I would have almost thrown up, but I gritted my teeth and didn't make a sound.

  "Wang Hao!" the brick head said viciously: "Honestly, I didn't plan to let you off. With Taozi, we've already gone through the ceremony and become husband and wife. I don't care about those trivial matters, today I'm afraid Taozi will be sad, so I'll spare your life for now. Tell you, quickly break up with Xia Xue, otherwise I will never let you off!"

  I couldn't help but laugh at the brick, I really thought he had changed his ways earlier, didn't expect it was just a delaying tactic.

  "Let's just leave it at that." The brick-headed man shook his fist again: "Don't tell Peach that I threatened her, did you hear?"

  After finishing speaking, the brick let me go and left with the peach.

  My mind is a mess, not because I'm worried about being hit by bricks. The key is the problem of Taozi and Xiaxue, I couldn't figure out what to do for an entire night at Jing Bureau, and even now I don't know who I really like.

  After the brick and peach left, our parents took us to a nearby small restaurant, ordered more than ten dishes, and had a hearty meal. Although my mother strongly opposed it, my father still ordered wine. My father said with a big smile: "We're all so old now, how can we not drink? Don't worry, these sons of turtles absolutely don't drink secretly."

  My mother kept blaming my father for spoiling the kids, but he just smiled and remained calm. In my impression, Father has always been like this - open-minded, steady, and never panicking when things happen. It's clear that Father's style is well-liked by Ye Zhan and others, who took turns to toast him, and everyone had a great time eating and drinking. Xia Xue and Zhang Ling were sipping their drinks, smiling and watching us make a racket without any reserve. Later, Liu Zi Hong got drunk and said something he shouldn't have: "Auntie, do you know that Xia Xue is Wang Hao's girlfriend?"

  As soon as I said that, the dinner table fell silent. Although Father agreed to let us drink, he didn't say it was okay to be late. Being late is a capital offense in parents' hearts, and Mother has repeatedly warned me not to talk about love! I once told her, "Come on, Mom, with my awkward personality, which girl would fall for me?"

  Dad and mom were also stunned after hearing Liu Zihong's words, then they looked at Xia Xue in unison. Xia Xue's face was bright red, she wished to find a crack in the ground to hide in. Ye Zhan glared at Liu Zihong fiercely, Liu Zihong was completely awakened and hurriedly said: "No, Auntie I was just talking nonsense, don't believe me. Wang Hao and Xia Xue didn't have an affair, I was just spouting rubbish. Actually, it's Wang Hao who wanted to pursue Xia Xue, but he wasn't successful. Ah, no, not...". Liu Zihong became more and more incoherent as he spoke, his face turning red with anxiety.

  But in this situation, even a fool would know what's going on, and I don't know how to face my parents. After attending high school, not only did he get into fights and cause trouble, but also drank and fell in love, becoming corrupted, completely corrupted!

  The dinner table was very quiet, no one spoke, and no one moved their chopsticks. Father touched his nose, as if he was about to say something, but didn't know what to say. Mother suddenly stood up, pulled out the chair beside her, and said: "Come, daughter, sit here."

  Xia Xue raised her head in surprise, her face still red like a tomato. Her mother smiled and said, "Come here."

  Xia Xue seemed stunned, motionless. Zhang Ling pushed her from beside: "Go on!"

  Xia Xue finally stood up and sat down beside my mom, looking shy. My mom held her hand intimately, with a joyful expression on her face.

  "Miss, where is your home?"

  "It's Bei Yuan City."

  "What do your parents do?"

  "My dad works at the Land Bureau and my mom works at the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, they are both civil servants."

  I found that my mom's face can already be described as "eyebrows flying and dancing": "Are there any other brothers or sisters at home?"

  "It's just me." Xia Xue replied honestly.

  "Mom, what's going on?!" I couldn't help but exclaim.

  It's clear that my mom is getting more and more fond of Xia Xue, but the questions she asks are getting more and more explicit.

  Even my dad couldn't take it anymore and said, "What are you kids playing house for, asking nonsense?"

  "I was just casually asking, didn't say anything about what to do?" My mom happily said: "Look at this little girl, she's so pretty and matches our family's Hao Hao quite well." The more she talked, the less it made sense, and she hadn't even had any wine!

  Everyone burst out laughing, and Zhang Ling was the first to shout: "Let Wang Hao and Xia Xue get engaged as soon as possible!" Gong Ning also chimed in: "Yes, yes, let's settle this engagement first, or else such a good daughter-in-law will run away!"

  My mom said with a smile: "I think this suggestion is also good."

  Everyone burst out laughing again, the atmosphere became extremely hot, only I and Xia Xue's face turned red, wishing to find a seam in the ground to drill into. Ye Zhan hooked Liu Zihong's neck: "Alright brother, this is well done, hahaha."

  "My dad said: 'Alright, alright, don't say any more, it's making the kids feel embarrassed to talk.'"

  My mom held Xiaoxue's hand tightly and said to my dad, "What's wrong? You allow the kids to drink, but don't let me find a daughter-in-law for my son? Let them be, don't care about us." Then she pulled Xiaoxue away to whisper something to her.
