Chapter 53: A Thrilling Rite of Passage
At this time, it is evening, and the summer sun always refuses to leave, leaving behind a piece of splendor, which looks very emotional.
On a path in the hospital, there is no shortage of family members leading patients to take a walk after dinner. Among them happened to be Ling Xia and Ye Xi, the two of them walked on the path with their fingers interlocked and shoulder to shoulder.
From a distance, I really feel like a match made in heaven.
"Xia Xia, when I first came, did you dream about something? Why are you so flustered? Yexi asked as if unintentionally.
But when Ling Xia's hand subconsciously held his hand tightly, Ye Xi guessed something, and replied to her as if she didn't care, "If it's hard to say, don't say it, I'm not the kind of person who holds on tightly, right?" β
Only then did Ling Xia slowly breathe a sigh of relief, "I dreamed of all of you, including my parents. β
"Oh? How is it? Ye Xi was a little curious, but he was not the kind of person who would force others to say it, and he respected Ling Xia's decision.
Ling Xia leaned his head lightly on his arm, "Today is your birthday, don't talk about my business, okay?" Otherwise, I will always feel like I have stolen the limelight from you. β
This made Yexi laugh, why didn't he know that his girlfriend was so funny?
"I almost forgot that I lost the banquet to Mo Chen and Mo Fan, why don't I take you back to see it first, and then send you to the hospital?" Yexi was about to take out her mobile phone to make a call, but Ling Xia next to her nodded firmly, she must not let Yexi not be able to celebrate her birthday because of her little car accident, she will become a sinner!
Yexi took her out of the hospital, flagged down a taxi, and went straight to her home. On the way, I didn't forget to call Mo Chen, fortunately, everything is fine.
When the two of them appeared together, Ye Nian quietly breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't object to his son's early love, and he didn't mind helping his son clear all obstacles for his love path.
Night fell, but Yexi's house was still full of people, and the real climax had just arrived.
The night family has the habit of the night family, and they still have their own set for the adult men in their own family.
When Ye's son became an adult, he first drank a glass of liquor mixed with a mixture of fruit juice, and then drank a glass of pure liquor. And to announce the engagement on this day, a rule that has never been broken for generations.
Ling Xia, who was sitting next to him, watched Ye Xi, who was standing on it with a little bad face, drink the glass of mixed liquid, and didn't give him a chance to rest, followed by a glass of white wine.
Yexi seems to have choked, otherwise why would he turn sideways and cover his mouth with his hand?
On the other side, Ye Nian has been gloating, thinking that he came over like this back then, but his alcohol consumption is not as bad as his own son, cough cough, I think he was still a bad student back then......
It is impossible to delay the announcement of the engagement, even if Ye Nian agrees, but he can't stand the nagging of the old man in the family, and he can't break this rule for his son.
Quietly attached to his son's ear and said a few words, after seeing him nod his head to show that he understood, Ye Nian was still not at ease, his son sometimes really played cards out of common sense, and often caught himself off guard.
Yexi above had also stepped down and sat down on the vacant seat next to Ling Xia. Ling Xia, who had been worried about him, finally had time to ask him how he was, Yexi rubbed her hair, and replied very gently, "Don't worry, I'm fine."
"Is your family really going to help you get engaged now?" There was some caution in Ling Xia's tone, seeing Ye Xi nodding helplessly, the child of his Ye family can also be regarded as an arranged marriage by his parents, although he has no mother.
After seeing him nod, Ling Xia's heart sank even more, "Then, who is the object?" β
"I don't know this, my family can be regarded as an arranged marriage, no matter which one they want me to marry, I must marry. Even an unruly person like my dad ended up listening to my grandfather and marrying my mom. "When Yexi said the word 'mother', there was still some sadness in her voice.
And Ling Xia stayed where he was, sure enough, that's the case......
Ye Xi's voice changed suddenly, "However, if someone can boldly show their love, it means that there is a competitor, and then I will be asked to choose ...... among them."
When Ling Xia, who was about to give up, heard his words, she almost couldn't help but give him a burst, but she gritted her teeth and endured it, Yexi was really not a good person!
It was about to announce Ye Xi's engagement partner, and it happened that at this time, a call came from Ling Xia's mobile phone, Ling Ran.
"Hey, big brother, what's the matter?"
"Xiaoxiao, you're so noisy over there, at Yexi's house?"
"Yes...... Big brother, is there something wrong with you? If it's okay, I'll talk about it when I get home tomorrow. β
"I'm at the door, come out."
"What?!"
Ye Xi on the stage couldn't help but sink his face after seeing Ling Xia go out in a hurry, and then looked at Qin Su who couldn't hide his smug expression, looking like he was determined to win, Ye Xi couldn't help but smile bitterly. It seems that this time his Xia Xia is really going to push him into the fire pit, look at his miserable life.
If fate forces you, you have to obey.
Ye Nian had already gotten the result discussed by the old man in the family, and looked at Ye Xi with a somewhat bad face, and Ye Xi had already guessed the result. I have long heard that Qin Su ran to his house three times and twice, even if he concealed it well, there would be times when his tail was exposed, let alone his own home?
Time passed little by little, and the relatives below were already a little impatient, and the Ye Nian who was directly urging announced the candidates, Ye Xi next to him nodded, Ling Xia, who went out, still did not come back, Ye Xi sighed and closed his eyes, he will also accept his fate one day.
"Today, Yexi is eighteen years old, and according to the habits of the Ye family, it is time to get engaged, and after many discussions, in the end, the minority obeys the majority...... Yexi's engagement partner is, Ling Ran, who has taught Yexi for half a year, and Ling Yang, the sister of the popular model, Ling Xia! This object was agreed to by the other party's parents.
Ye Xi, who was standing on the stage, was stunned, and Qin Su, who was still proud below, froze in place.
Why didn't everything go according to the plot?
And Ling Xia, who had not appeared just now, was standing at the front door with a very decent smile at this time, changing into clothes and putting on light makeup in such a short time, Ling Xia really felt that he was miserable.
Ye Nian on the stage saw that his son was still stunned, so he couldn't help but push him with his hand, well, there is no movement, then the arc is a little bigger, and he is directly pushed off the stage, target, Ling Xia!
"Let's welcome Yexi and his fiancΓ©e to the stage together, so that you can get to know each other and take care of them in the future." Ye Nian's voice was very excited, he really felt that his acting skills were too good just now, look at the bluffing of these insiders, it is not in vain that he has secretly done so many things for his son.
Seeing that Yexi was still stunned, the smile on Ling Xia's face became even bigger, and he walked over and poked his chest with his fingers, finding that he still didn't react......
Hook his neck straight down with his arm, hehe, it's exactly right.
Parents who brought their children over consciously covered their children's eyes with their own hands, although this scene was not hot enough, but they still couldn't teach their children badly, they were just flowers.
As soon as he kissed Fang Bi, Ling Xia felt his waist being hugged, "Are you scared?" Actually, I was scared too......"
Both of them had a slight flush on their faces because of the kiss just now, and when the two stood on the stage together, some eye-catching people below nodded, this daughter-in-law is still good.
Ling Xia involuntarily shifted her gaze to a corner, who was it that wasn't her eldest brother standing there?
And Ling Xia had just been called out by her eldest brother to find out about this, she was changing her clothes inside, and Ling Ran stood outside and explained slowly, how he cooperated with Ye Nian, and how he persuaded the old man in the Ye family to agree to their affairs. Ling Xia, who listened to it at the time, burst into tears, how good his eldest brother was, this was all for his own sake.
Finally, when Ling Xia was about to go in, Ling Ran asked her, "What if Yexi doesn't want you in the future?" Don't forget that you're still young. β
Xia replied like this, "Anyway, it's just an engagement, not a marriage, if you really don't get along well, I will get together with him...... But I still believe that he won't lie to me, even if we are both first loves. β
Some words don't need to be said much, just a look can be replaced. Ling Ran, who was standing in the corner, pulled out a chuckle at her, and used what Ling Xia could understand to express what he wanted to express, "Bless you little, I hope you won't regret it." β
"I don't regret it." Ling Xia replied with lips.
But he was still captured by Ye Nian, and looking at Ling Xia's line of sight, wasn't it the teacher Ling Ran who was conspiring with him......
On this occasion, the woman's parents should be present, but Ling Ran had told Ye Nian in advance, and Ye Nian didn't explain much, after all, the fact that the woman didn't have parents still sounded a little resistant to the old man's ears.
The banquet only ended at 22 o'clock, and Ye Nian and Yao Jing took over the matter of sending the guests away, and asked Ye Xi to send Ling Xia back to the hospital.
When he was on the road, Ye Xi's smile was about to reach the back of his ears, making Ling Xia blush all the way.
"Look at the way you smile, it's not the way you should be, still laughing......" There was some inconspicuous threat in Ling Xia's voice, but Yexi still heard it.
hurriedly begged for mercy, "Okay, okay, I won't laugh anymore, it's just because I got carried away tonight, don't be angry......"
When talking about the events of the night, Ling Xia couldn't help but think of the fact that she seemed to have kissed Ye Xi in public, and then twisted her head to the other side, she needed to calm down, otherwise she was afraid that she would lose her original reserve in the future.
I'm really afraid of something, "Xia Xia, when you kiss me tonight, I feel pretty good, come back later......"
"You're so tall, I'm tired on tiptoe." Ling Xia resolutely didn't turn his head to look at him!
Yexi reached out and wrapped his hand around her waist, his chin resting on her shoulder, "It's okay, I'll bend over." β
