Mr Liu told Minglang that as long as Qian feels he’s a very reliable man, capable of overcoming the fear of the unknown, she would willingly marry him.
Yu Minglang thought his chance to propose had arrived!
Catching a snake barehanded could move heaven and earth, it should definitely move i too!
"Is what you have in the bag a snake?"
A voice ca from the hillside, and both Qian and Yu Minglang looked up simultaneously. At the top of the hill stood a young man, not very tall, thin, dressed like an ordinary rural farr, with very dark skin.
"You raise snakes?" Yu Minglang frowned.
"Yeah, my family runs a restaurant at the mountain top. Cui’er is my pet, it’s a green pit viper. Though it looks scary, it’s actually not venomous."
Yu Minglang was internally screaming "WTF," quickly reacting to this sudden unveiling. He widened his eyes in surprise, pointing at the bag with stellar acting skills.
"You’re saying this isn’t a venomous bamboo viper?"
"Of course not! Bamboo vipers have triangular heads, my Cui’er has a round head, no venom."
Yu Minglang imdiately pulled a "so that’s how it is" face and demonstrated a "learned my lesson" look to Qian, who was already squinting her eyes in suspicion.
"i, looks like my knowledge reserves are still inadequate. People must learn as long as they live, unlike earlier, all huff and puff, mistaking a non-venomous snake for a venomous one!"
He expressed what she was already thinking, leaving i speechless! Yu Minglang silently applauded his own quick response.
All the emotions Qian felt had completely vanished. Saying others might mix up venomous and non-venomous snakes is believable, but the chance of Yu Minglang making such a mistake is as low as her, a psychologist, confusing simple depression with anxiety.
In school, he had a course on identifying dangerous wild animals, such a basic mistake is sothing Yu Minglang would never make.
So the person just now, to make her nod in agreent to the marriage, already started acting sympathetic to deceive her!
Yu Minglang dared not look at her because he could feel the rage she’s emitting from inside out. It’s over! The beautiful wish to prove he’s a reliable man, eliminate i’s marriage fears, and get her to agree to marry him and wear the wedding dress, it just went up in smoke!
Yu Minglang directed his anger at this unexpectedly appeared man.
"Why are you raising snakes? This vast forest, how did you know to let it out right here?"
The skinny man shrank his neck at Yu Minglang’s fierce look, timidly replying.
"I was playing the flute by the little stream in front, Cui’er was placed in a basket. It’s usually like this, but today, I don’t know why, it climbed out. I heard noises here and ca over, it’s not far from the stream..."
Actually, it was Yu Minglang earlier trying to win i’s trust, shouting a slogan before catching the snake just like a hero announcing before bombing a fortress, asking if she’d be willing to marry him in the next life.
The young man heard the voice and naturally ca looking, saw Yu Minglang holding a bag with movent inside, and had to ask.
He successfully exposed soone’s shalessness.
Yu Minglang threw the bag at the man, glaring at him fiercely, causing the man to shrink his shoulders in unreasonable grievance.
Qian witnessed the whole thing, internally saying "Ha!"
Oh you shaless Yu Minglang, I finally see your true colors.
"Would you want to marry in the next life?" she asked coldly.
Yu Minglang nodded with a forced smile, "Yes..."
"Alright, I’ll marry you in the next life."
Before Yu Minglang could rejoice, she added a sinister line.
"In this life, dream on!" How hateful, trying to trick her!
Looking at the ti, there’s no way down the mountain; she’d definitely have to stay overnight. But don’t think she would forgive Yu Minglang.
Absolutely unforgivable!
The feeling of being busted by his future wife’s little sche was even more embarrassing than sneaking a fap and being caught by his mom! The issue is he’s never been caught by his mom fapping but was caught planning by his fiancée!
The piercing gaze from Qian was chilling enough to cool down the sumr heat. Through this gaze, Yu Minglang could visions of the two little red books he longed for flying away with wings.
As they flew, they taunted him: "Loser, loser!"
Under the guidance of the snake-raising young man, Qian and Yu Minglang soon arrived at their destination.
This guy said his family runs a restaurant on the mountain, Qian never realized he was the son of the "famous" countryside inn owner Yu Minglang had ntioned!
Standing at the entrance of a rundown courtyard, seeing the shaky signboard, the sun-faded sign was already very blurred.
Qian’s mouth twitched, turning to glare at Yu Minglang.
Now was the cold war period, so she wasn’t talking to him, but her eyes had expressed everything already, "This is, what you called, a famous country inn?"
She had been tired for several hours, her legs almost breaking, just to co to this place?
His record of courting disaster added another bold stroke.
Yu Minglang didn’t expect the famous country inn to be in such a shabby, collapsing state, Mr Liu clearly told him it was the most renowned place in the mountains!
On the faded signboard, the words "famous country inn" were hard to discern, indeed "famous"!
Yu Minglang internally exclaid a string of "I go," feeling those little red books were singing "I want to fly higher!" flying even further away!
Mr Liu, usually looking like an old academic, never expected you could pull such a deceitful prank too. Was this to let him remain a bachelor monk all his life?
"Mrs Liu recomnded this place..." Yu Minglang’s explanation did not gain Qian’s approval, instead intensifying her anger.
"You think you can pass the bla to my teacher! Were you planning to make a collapsing stove inside to gain my sympathy, or sothing?!"
I didn’t! Yu Minglang cried out internally, but couldn’t express it.
After being busted for the snake-catching spectacle, he’d been added to Qian’s blacklist, whatever he says, she wouldn’t believe now.
Thinking of the tears she just shed for this rascal, all the sentintal thoughts she had a mont ago, the naless fire inside Qian burned fiercely.
If it wasn’t in front of the country inn’s owner, Qian really wanted to raise her umbrella and aim the sharp head at him... like that!
There was no way to appease such emotions, only a jab in the butt could ease the worries!
This ti Yu Minglang outsmarted himself, angering Qian, she felt the need to properly deal with this rascal, can’t forgive him, this incident was just too much.
Unbeknownst of the situation, the young country inn owner added another line, almost driving Qian to rage.
