Chapter 550: A Cheap Proposal

After Xiong YaoYue promised to keep it a secret, she then extorted some snacks from us before leaving satisfied.

“Although it’s really hot outside and my clothes are already dried, it’s still very uncomfortable. I have to go home and change my clothes.”

In order for Xiong YaoYue to be able to report back to Ai Mi, she had to keep the recorded footage (Xiao Qin also vehemently requested for a copy) it’s not like anything important was recorded anyway.

Why am I even worried about it? I don’t think it’s any of my sister’s business even if my relationship with Xiao Qin went to the next step. A sister isn’t qualified to interfere with her brother’s girlfriend.

As for my firm opposition to Kyle approaching Ai Mi, it’s not the same thing since Ai Mi is a minor.

Wait, I think according to the law, I am also a minor…

Anyway, it’s for her own good. Of course her older brother has the right to filter out all the bad ones from all her suitors.

The fact that Xiong YaoTue was willing to keep our secrets and show support for our relationship, left a good impression on Xiao Qin.

“I shouldn’t have pranked her when she borrowed Ye Lin classmate’s phone before…”

Xiao Qin whispered to me after Xiong YaoYue had left with her costume.

I can’t believe you’re still going to bring that up. Making the cellphone vibrate in her underwear was already the peak of bullying. If it was someone like Gong CaiCai, she might even get suicidal thoughts.

For some reason, after the incident with Xiong YaoYue, the next time spent with Xiao Qin at the amusement park became a lot more natural.

Is it because I had already subconsciously noticed there was someone creepy spying on us, so I was uncomfortable?

After doing the “Mirror Maze”, “Haunted House”, and “Cosmic Adventure” with Xiao Qin, I felt a little dizzy.

The distorted figures in the mirror maze actually weren’t the main cause of my dizziness.

The costumes in the haunted house were all shoddy. I think if Xiong YaoYue appeared dressed as Pleasant Goat, she would be even scarier.

The main cause was the “Cosmic Adventure” indoor ride. The visitors would sit on top of a two-person rocket, it would then spin while moving up and down with a Milky Way background.

Xiao Qin enjoyed it a lot, but I almost threw up last night’s dinner. It was an unbearable feeling where you would get carsick even if you usually don’t get carsick, not seasickness was also made seasick. It looks like space travel and I are not fated to be.

Xiao Qin noticed I wasn’t feeling well, so she asked if we should end the trip for today.

“I’ve already had a lot of fun today, so Ye Lin classmate can decide where to go next. I’ll follow you even into the pits of hell.”

No, the “cosmic adventure” ride already gave my stomach hell. If I went to something like the pits of hell, then my life would be forfeit.

Even though I really didn’t like these kinds of entertainment, I still didn’t admit it.

“It’s fine, play whatever you want today and I’ll accompany you.”

“Really?” Xiao Qin’s eyes glittered, “Then… let’s go ride the Hell Wheel I mentioned at the beginning…”

“Ah, I suddenly remembered I have some things to do at home, let’s leave.”

“Ok-… okay” Xiao Qin nodded in disappointment after I suddenly changed my mind.

I originally planned on taking Xiao Qin to dinner, but it was still early and neither of us were hungry. The two of us wandered down the street aimlessly without any goals in mind.

Ever since we left the amusement park, Xiao Qin became silent and tightly wrapped her arm around me as if I was dragging her down the street.

“Uh…. Ye Lin classmate, you brought ‘that’ right?”

Xiao Qin asked strangely and left me confused.

“What?”

“It’s… you know, that. It’s something essential to become an adult together with Ye Lin classmate.”

Are you talking about condoms? I have thousands of it at home, but I don’t have a habit of carrying any with me.

“Noo~~~ why would you think I’m talking about condoms.” Xiao Qin wrapped her arms around my arm and said coyly, “I’m not a pervert.”

“If it’s not a condom, then what is it?”

Xiao Qin shook her index finger and said slowly word for word:

“Of course I’m talking about iden-tifi-cation. Brother Wu Sheng gave you an ID, so we can use it to book a hotel room, right?”

“And you still say you’re not a pervert? What kind of girl takes the initiative to mention that? You actually think condoms aren’t necessary, but an ID card is necessary?”

“It’s because I want to have Ye Lin’s children, so condoms are just annoying.”

Wait a second, the first thing you should know is that your mother is already pregnant with my father’s child. If I made you pregnant, then we would have made two lives, this isn’t what they mean when they say father X mother-daughter play.

I felt a sign of death as I watched Xiao Qin carefully scope out the streets for a suitable hotel.

Auntie Ren already told me that if I crossed the line with Xiao Qin, she would crush my dad’s balls. As for me, she would at least break a couple of my bones.

Huo ZhenBang, who’s a higher up in the triads, also said something similar. If it actually happened, he would definitely be merciless compared to Auntie Ren who’s more bark than bite.

If I didn’t hold myself back and went to a hotel with Xiao Qin, her parents would find out about it very quickly. At that point, I could only wait for my eventual death.

I shouldn’t be indulging in carnal desires in the first place. Based on various martial arts novels, alcohol and sex are taboo for martial artists.

Besides, I still hesitate when I admit Xiao Qin is my girlfriend in front of other people, so what right do I have to take away her virginity?

I’m not the protagonist of an H manga, it’s an important activity that needs to be thought about carefully.

“Xiao Qin, I still have some business to take care of for my family’s online store, so I have to go.”

In order to completely prevent the possibility of that happening, I decided to retreat first.

“What, Ye Lin classmate…” Xiao Qin showed a very disappointed expression and said: “Am… I that unattractive?”

“It has nothing to do with that.” I put my hands on Xiao Qin’s shoulders and comforted her, “I actually do have some business to take care of. Today is your birthday, and I’m sorry I can’t stay with you any later, how about…”

I saw a nearby street vendor selling trinkets and had an idea and said, “I’ll buy another small gift for you, does that sound good?”

“Yes.” Xiao Qin didn’t hesitate to agree, “I’ll take anything Ye Lin classmate gives me.”

So I brought her over and we squatted down in front of the goods. I was planning to buy her a ¥15 hanging trinket, but she wanted a ¥2 plastic ring. It looked very colorful and fairy tale like.

“Is one enough?” I asked very ‘generously’ after paying.

The jade bracelet Xiao Qin was wearing on her wrist was a gift from Huo ZhenBang, so I didn’t actually give Xiao Qin a birthday present.

Can a ¥2 ring be a birthday gift? Based on the current state of inflation, I think even elementary school students would be embarrassed to give it as a present.

It was rare for Xiao Qin to like the ring this much, it was as if some part of her knew the jade bracelet wasn’t a gift I can give and afford, so compared to it, the ¥2 plastic ring was more precious.

After receiving the ring, Xiao Qin immediately put it on the ring finger of her left hand.

Hey, that’s for a wedding ring. Unmarried girls should wear it on the right hand, or change a finger.

“I’m not going to change it.” She guarded the ring on her left hand to prevent me from taking it away. The way she was staring at me warily was really quite cute.

“I do!” She suddenly shouted out loud in the middle of the street.

“You do what?” I was at a loss for words.

“Of course, I do… I’m willing to marry Ye Lin classmate.” Xiao Qin shouted with a red face, then she pointed to the uncle who was selling the trinkets, “This clergy can testify that I agreed to Ye Lin classmate’s proposal and wore the ring.”

“Yeah, I testify.”

Who gave you the right to officiate a wedding? Do you even know where the Vatican is before you pretend to be a clergy?

“No sham marriages.” I crossed my arms in front of my chest and refused, “Besides, plastic rings can’t replace wedding rings.”

“Who said that?” Xiao Qin obviously didn’t agree, “As long as there’s love, even a pull tab from a soda can is fine.”

I wanted to retort, but the uncle wiped up his tears with his sleeve and rambled on:

“Youngster, you should be content. When I married my wife, I spent ¥60,000 on the betrothal gift alone…”

It’s none of your business, and you were bought with only ¥2? Wasn’t I the one who paid you in the first place?!

“Plastic is just non-biodegradable trash. A ring made from trash can’t qualify as a wedding ring.”

I subconsciously argued with Celery about the material of the wedding ring. I didn’t want to argue about “whether there was love”, which was a confusing topic for me.

Xiao Qin thought about it for a while.

“Trash… which means it’s hard for it to decompose naturally, I heard it doesn’t decompose even after a hundred years. Doesn’t that correspond to the wishes of having a long and happy wedding? I think plastic rings are better suited for marriage.”

Those grooms-to-be who are struggling with their diamond rings will certainly agree with you, but this isn’t the time to admire your frugality. I have to correct your wrong way of thinking, or I would have to spend your birthday along with our “wedding” anniversary together.

“Let me replace it with a plastic ring that is naturally degradable.” I turned to the uncle and said.

“No such thing.” The uncle was still very emotional, “Young man, just accept it.”

Xiao Qin could tell I wasn’t going to go to a hotel with her today (she was probably scared herself too), so she knew when to stop. She raised her arms up into a victory pose, then turned around and began running away while shouting:

“Ye Lin classmate proposed to me. Although he pretended it was a birthday gift, I still saw through it! Hooray! What should I name our first child, how troubling….”

I wanted to chase her, but then everyone would be staring at both of us.
