Chapter 198 Final Agreement
After Xu Xin took the flowers, Jingjing and I went to Xu Shu's bed. I asked with concern, "Xu Shu, how do you feel now? Does the wound still hurt?"
Xu Shu shook her head and looked at me with a hint of worry in her eyes. She said, "I heard that you were sick? Why don't you just lie down in the hospital? Why did you come here?"
I reached out and held her little hand, saying, "I'm fine, I just had a fever, it's gone by now. I'm worried about you here, is it okay to sit like this with the injury on your back?"
Seeing how worried I was about her, Xu Shu couldn't help but feel a little proud. She glanced at Jingjing and said, "The doctor said that I can't lie down all the time. I need to stand up and move around occasionally."
I said "Oh" and was about to speak, but I heard Jingjing suddenly cough and whispered, "Can you two please stop being so affectionate? Xiaoxin is still in the ward!"
Xu Xin, who was arranging flowers nearby, obviously heard it too. She turned around and said, "Sister, if everything is ok, I'll leave first!"
Xu Shu hummed, and said, "Okay, you haven't rested since you got off the plane, go back first!"
Xu Xin fiddled with the flowers again, and then said to Hua Jingjing, "Sister Jingjing, when will you and Mr. Tang have your wedding? Don't forget to invite me then!"
Hua Jingjing smiled and said, "Okay! But my bridesmaid is still receiving treatment, so it looks like the wedding date will have to be postponed. Let's wait until your sister is fully recovered!"
Xu Xin smiled faintly, turned around and left the ward.
She never looked at me again from beginning to end. I was not used to her cold attitude, and I couldn't help feeling a little lost.
Xu Shu was the one who knew the inside story best. When she saw my unnatural expression, she immediately understood how I felt. She secretly pinched my palm and a mischievous smile appeared on her face.
I came back to my senses, gave Xu Shu a self-deprecating smile, and then said, "Xu Shu, Jingjing just told me. Are you really willing to... be with Jingjing... the three of us..."
Xu Shu blushed immediately, but she didn't avoid it. She said softly, "I never thought about... leaving you. If Jingjing didn't know, I would be your lover for life. Now Jingjing knows, and she is... so nice, why would I not want to?"
Love surged in my heart, I reached out and gently stroked her cheek, and said affectionately: "Xu Shu, you and Jingjing... are both so good, I am really ashamed, this is really unfair to you."
Jingjing suddenly reached out and slapped my hand away from Xu Shu, saying angrily, "Stop being disgusting! Weren't you so beautiful just now? Now you are pretending to be sincere again. I warn you, Tang Qian, don't forget that you promised to accept my punishment, otherwise I will go back on my word and cancel the agreement."
Xu Shu opened her beautiful big eyes and asked in confusion: "What...punishment?"
I touched my slapped wrist and smiled bitterly, "Jingjing said that within a year, I...can't touch you. This is a punishment for both of us for letting her down."
Xu Shu let out an "ah" and exclaimed softly, "One year? No?"
Jingjing approached on her face and said with a smile, "You don't mind, do you? Isn't my small punishment a little too light?"
Xu Shu said unhappily, "Didn't we agree on this yesterday? Why is there another punishment? Jingjing, are you kidding me?"
Jingjing smiled and said, "We did agree on this! But this punishment is for Tang Qian. I just asked him not to touch you. This has nothing to do with what we agreed on!"
Xu Shu was angry and anxious, and said without caring about his dignity: "Your punishment will also affect me. I won't do it, Jingjing, you are cheating!"
Jingjing giggled happily and said, "Can't stand it? Who told you to seduce my husband? How can it be so easy for you two to be together without paying a price?"
Xu Shu was originally filled with joy, thinking that Jingjing had really forgiven her so easily. But now, when she heard that there was suddenly such a harsh punishment, she immediately cried to me in grievance, "Tang Qian! Look at Jingjing, she said so nice things yesterday, saying that we were like sisters and that she was willing to treat you well together with me. She even asked me to...but in the blink of an eye, her true colors came out!"
I sighed and said, "Xu Shu, we are the ones who are sorry to Jingjing first. It is not easy for her to forgive us. It is only right for us to accept her punishment. Besides, a year is not a long time. We are still together during this year. I promise that I will love you ten times better than before."
"But..." Xu Shu hesitated, his eyes full of reluctance. I knew what Xu Shu was dissatisfied with, but I had no choice, I had already promised Jingjing.
Hua Jingjing hooked her arms around Xu Shu's neck and laughed softly, "Xiao Shu, I know you best. In fact, you are a little slut deep down in your heart. If your brother Tang Qian doesn't touch you for a year, you will be suffocated to death. Isn't this trick of mine mean enough?"
Xu Shu's face flushed red when Hua Jingjing revealed her thoughts. She gnashed her teeth and cursed, "You flower fairy, you don't keep your word. Do you believe that I will really snatch your husband away and keep him all to myself?"
Jingjing laughed and said, "Impossible, Tang Qian is not that kind of person! Besides, if you dare, do you believe that I will tell your brother Tang Qian about your past embarrassment?"
Xu Shu became more confident when he heard this and said, "Go ahead and tell me if you have the guts!"
I saw that the two good friends were arguing, so I tried to smooth things over by saying, "Okay, okay, you've been talking for a long time. Have you thought about how to solve this problem?"
The two women stopped together, looked at me and asked, "What's the matter?"
I said seriously, "Xu Shu, Jingjing, no matter what, I want to be with you two for the rest of my life. But in reality, this is actually very difficult. You said getting married and divorced once a year, not to mention how troublesome and frivolous it is. Just think about your families, will they agree? How could they be willing for their daughter to be wronged, getting married and divorced again, and sharing a man with another woman. This is too unacceptable for them, and by then both families will definitely oppose it. Then... won't the three of us be miserable?"
Xu Shu was stunned for a moment and said curiously: "What do you mean by getting married and divorced once a year? Doesn't everyone only marry you once?" After she said that, she looked at Jingjing in confusion.
Hua Jingjing smiled embarrassedly and said, "Xiao Shu, I was just about to discuss this with you. Later, I thought about it and felt that I was at a disadvantage. I married Tang Qian first, and then he married you. Then everyone in the world would know that I was Tang Qian's ex-wife. Even if you divorced him in the future, in the eyes of others, you would still be his wife, and I would be far away. It's really not worth it, so... I think it's better to change someone to marry Tang Qian every year. In this way, the wife takes turns, and no one suffers. How great!"
Xu Shu sneered and said, "Are you crazy? Who gets married and divorced every year? You're so smart! Aren't you afraid that the people at the registry office will suspect us?"
I didn't understand and asked, "Xu Shu...what's going on?"
Xu Shu looked at me and said, "Actually, it's like this. Jingjing and I also thought that our families would definitely oppose the three of us being together, so we planned it out. One year after you and Jingjing got married, Jingjing asked me to get pregnant... get pregnant with your child first, and then use this as an excuse to divorce you. I got pregnant, and then my family couldn't disagree with me marrying you. Once the child was born, you got Jingjing pregnant too, and I got angry and divorced you. But because of the child, the three of us can be together openly, and no one can gossip about it. After all, children always need a father!"
Jingjing on the side said dissatisfiedly: "Even so, I still lost out. I got pregnant after the divorce, so what does that count?"
Xu Shu said angrily, "Why did you agree yesterday? You said it was fine but now you go back on your word and don't let Tang Qian touch me for a year. How can I get pregnant like this? Flower Fairy, I think you are here to take revenge on me. You had bad intentions from the beginning!"
Watching them quarreling, I felt a headache. I thought it would be so happy to have two beauties in one person! But... now it seems that this might be a disaster!
I had no choice but to interrupt with a wry smile and said in a joking tone: "Hey! Have you ever considered me? You let me play the role of a fickle, unfaithful husband. Have you ever thought that I might be chopped into pieces by your two powerful fathers? By then, you will become widows, so what's the point of the three of you being together?"
Unexpectedly, Xu Shu and Jingjing said "go" to me at the same time, and said in unison : "You are so happy that you can marry two wives, and you still dare to complain about this and that? Believe it or not, we don't want you anymore, let's see what you can do!"
I had no choice but to shut up, but my heart was filled with tenderness. I couldn't help but open my arms and hug the two beauties at once, saying with emotion: "Xu Shu, Jingjing, you have really suffered a lot for me. No matter how much I will suffer, I swear! I will love you well for the rest of my life and will never let you suffer the slightest injustice again."
The two women felt a little uncomfortable when I hugged them. Jingjing rested her head on my left shoulder, but rolled her eyes at Xu Shu. Xu Shu immediately pretended to be wronged and pouted her cute little mouth at me pitifully...
Oh! These two lovely and annoying women of mine!
That night, we finally reached an agreement to adopt the plan that Jingjing and Xu Shu had originally agreed on. When Xu Shu's injury healed , I would hold a wedding with Jingjing first, and then complete the plan for the three of us to be together step by step. At most, I would be beaten up by the furious Hua's father and Xu's father. But for them, what would that little suffering mean to me? Even if I were to die, I would die with a smile on my face.
Of course, Jingjing felt that she had suffered a loss, and I must accept this punishment. Xu Shu and her quarreled again, and after the quarrel, they suddenly bit each other's ears intimately for a long time, and I don't know what they said. In the end, Jingjing gave in and changed the one year to six months. Within six months, I can't have any intimate behavior with Xu Shu!
(However, later practice has proven that even half a year is impossible to achieve. But that is something that will happen in the future. I will tell you about it when I have the chance!)
