Volume 4 Chapter 19: Love
After the competition, with the encouragement of Awei and others, I finally plucked up the courage to meet Xiaoyi.
I finally figured it out. Fatty was right. I couldn't live in the pain of the past forever. What's more important was that Xiao Yi moved me. Although in fact I had met her only a few times and had only spoken a few words to her, in fact, from the first encounter, there was a subtle attraction between us and a wonderful fate. Later, we helped each other when we established our gangs, and she came to our aid when the Jinglei League and the Ao Shi Family fought. The affection that lingered in our hearts grew and spread unconsciously as we fought side by side again and again.
Now, Xiao Yi has expressed her feelings for me implicitly but clearly - although she didn't say it out loud, I believe my feeling is not wrong, and, as Shuijing said, "When the opportunity appears in front of you, you must take the initiative to grasp it." Even if I am wishful thinking, even if I will be hurt again, but since my heart has been moved, how can I be like a coward and not dare to face my own feelings?
So I came to Xiao Yi, looked at her beautiful face and fair skin, and a thousand words came to my mind, but I didn't know where to start.
"Let's go out for a walk?" She and I said at the same time, and then we were both stunned, and then smiled at each other.
"Wait a minute!" My attention was all on Xiao Yi, and I almost didn't notice that there was a Wanxing next to her.
Wanxing pulled me aside, put her little mouth close to my ear, and whispered, "You owe me a favor again. If I hadn't seen that Sister Fang liked you and encouraged her desperately, how could she have come to participate? You must understand the meaning of her song just now, right? You must seize this opportunity. If I find out that you have let Sister Fang down, humph, wait and see how I will deal with you!"
I looked at Wanxing and suddenly felt guilty. This clever girl! How could I not know that she also had feelings for me? From the beginning, I took away her account, and then we gradually reconciled and interacted. I found that Wanxing was a brave and cheerful girl. When I needed her help, she did not hesitate. In fact, I still owed her a promise to help her three times, but she never mentioned it again. Since the martial arts competition, she came to Jinglei League to find me several times, but I felt a little guilty and tried to avoid her because I clearly saw admiration in her eyes. Not only me, but even the brothers in the league had some clues and sometimes joked with me about it. But on the one hand, I had not yet walked out of the shadow of the past, and on the other hand, ever since I met Xiaoyi, I could not forget her. Although I tried my best to suppress the emotions in my heart, her beautiful face became clearer and clearer in my mind. But I didn't have this feeling towards Wanxing. I only regarded her as a friend and sister. In order to avoid misleading others and myself, how could I dare to interact with her more?
But I never expected that she could actually detect the difference between Xiao Yi and me! To be honest, I rarely meet Xiao Yi, and my brothers said that Xiao Yi had a crush on me, mostly just joking, but Wanxing could see that we had developed feelings for each other. If she didn't care about me very much, how could she be so sensitive? Maybe she was very familiar with Xiao Yi, so it was not surprising that she could find that Xiao Yi liked me, but with her personality, she was definitely not the kind of person who would sacrifice herself for her friends, and would definitely actively join the competition, unless she already knew that I also had a crush on Xiao Yi. But once she understood, she immediately withdrew without any hesitation, and took the initiative to match us up. She is really an amazing woman!
I nodded to Evening Star and whispered, "Thank you!"
After that, I walked towards Xiao Yi, held out my hand, and said with a smile: "Xiao Yi, do you remember the first time we met? Would you like to ride with me again and gallop on the grassland outside the city?"
Xiao Yi naturally reached out her hand and held mine, blushing slightly as she said, "That was such a wonderful memory, how could I forget it?"
Under the night sky, a snow-white unicorn let go of its four hooves and galloped at lightning speed. Riding on its back were a man and a woman, and they were Xiao Yi and me.
After a refreshing gallop, my turbulent mood finally calmed down because I saw Yu Rou again and finally got rid of my troubles and decided to let go of my feelings. I stopped the horse and said to Xiao Yi, "We have been running for so long, we should take a break. Let's sit on the grass for a while. I have something to say to you."
Xiao Yi nodded gently and said, "I have something to say to you too!"
I smiled, considerately helped Xiao Yi get off the horse, found a clean place to sit down, then sighed comfortably and said, "Look, how beautiful the night is!"
"Is this what you want to tell me?" Xiao Yi said dimly.
"So what you want to say to me is, you want to confess to me that you like me?"
"You... you understand everything!"
Although it was dim at night, I could still clearly see two red clouds flying on Xiao Yi's clear jade-like face.
"Actually, that's exactly what I wanted to say. Since we are so close, how could I not understand?" I answered Xiao Yi in a relaxed manner, but I was filled with joy. After all, the song in the competition was just a subtle hint. Although Wan Xing encouraged me afterwards, it still couldn't be used as a guarantee. Now Xiao Yi finally made it clear that she liked me! I was actually very scared. What if everything was just a misunderstanding? What if she rejected my confession? I'm afraid it would be hard for me to bear that blow! I finally gathered up that little bit of courage!
"If that's the case, then why didn't you contact me for so long? I thought I was just an ordinary friend in your eyes. If Wanxing hadn't heard that the famous Er Qiao had also joined the Jinglei League and would come to participate in this competition, you would definitely come to watch the game and tried your best to persuade me, I would have come... just to test your feelings. Would you have forgotten me?"
I couldn't help laughing. Xiao Yi's tone was quite jealous. I didn't expect that this smart and capable girl would behave so cutely when she fell in love.
I teased, "Do you also want to see if I was seduced by them? And you don't accept it, and want to compete with Er Qiao to see who is more attractive?"
"Bah, are you so proud? Who would seduce you?"
I didn't refute and hummed the melody of "Eyes On Me" with a smile. Xiao Yi's face became even redder!
Seeing this, I stopped teasing her. Flirting should be done in moderation. If it arouses the other party's disgust, it will be bad! Hehe, this is the unique experience summed up by a senior love saint back then, and I have learned the true teachings from him...
I leaned towards Xiao Yi, pressed my shoulders against hers, and whispered, "Xiao Yi, I'm actually a very conservative person. For me, when it comes to love, there is no difference between games and reality. When I fall in love with someone, I give my all to them, not just playing a love game with a set of data. So I won't, and can't, easily express my feelings, otherwise it's easy to hurt others and myself. In fact, from the first time I saw you, I've had your shadow in my heart. Your beauty, your wisdom, your talent, your bearing, all deeply attracted me, but the more so, the more afraid I am, afraid that I will fall into the vortex of love for you, so I dare not contact you again. But when you sang that song, I found that I could no longer deceive myself. I wanted to say those three words to you, but I must first know whether I can afford the consequences."
Xiao Yi smoothed her hair that was a little messy due to the night wind, and gave me a charming smile as I looked nervous as if I was about to be judged, and said softly: "Then you should listen to my story first."
"Hehe, it feels a bit weird that we have known each other for such a long time but we still don't know each other's real name. Well, I'll tell you, my last name is Yin, my given name is Jingxian, and my father's name is Yin Minghui."
I was shocked. Although I knew that Xiao Yi came from a wealthy family, I didn't expect that she was Yin Minghui's daughter. Isn't this too ridiculous?
Yin Minghui is a newly emerged tycoon after China joined the WTO in the early 21st century. Since the last century, global energy has been gradually depleted, and several energy wars of varying scales have broken out. It can be said that if energy that can completely replace oil is not developed, human civilization will soon face destruction!
Fortunately, through the joint efforts of scientists from Europe, China, the United States, Russia and other countries, the problem of controlled nuclear fusion was finally solved in 2022, and the large-scale application of nuclear energy was realized.
But there is still a problem. Nuclear energy is difficult to convert directly into kinetic energy. Although humans have been using electrical energy for nearly two hundred years, there has been no good solution for storing electrical energy.
With the advancement of science and technology and the emergence of new materials, several types of high-energy batteries have been invented since the 21st century. However, the one with the most outstanding performance was the "adsorption-type electronic can container" developed in 2018 by a female academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences named Chen Ruirong. Who is Chen Ruirong? She is Yin Minghui's mother-in-law, and Xiao Yi's grandmother!
Her research results were even classified as state secrets at the beginning and were first applied in the military. Later, when civilian high-energy batteries with better performance appeared abroad, this technology was allowed to be "transferred from military to civilian" in order to compete with them.
Her son-in-law Yin Minghui was born a shrewd businessman. He naturally saw how great the market value was. So he took advantage of his proximity to his mother-in-law and obtained patent authorization. He then planned to build the Jinlong Battery Company to produce and sell Jinlong brand high-energy batteries.
This battery has occupied the domestic and international markets with its energy density three times higher than similar products, ultra-long service life and ultra-low energy consumption. You should know that there are almost no fuel-powered cars on the earth now, all of them have been converted to electric vehicles. The global market value of this alone is hundreds of billions of RMB. Moreover, the application of electric energy has long been popularized in all aspects of human daily life, from electronic watches to computers, from mobile phones to satellites...
Yin Minghui's Jinlong Battery monopolizes more than 70% of the global battery market. One can imagine how huge his wealth is. And what kind of status does Yin Jingxian, his only daughter, have?
Xiao Yi added: "You should know that my father owns a huge business group! And as his only daughter, I have been trained as the heir to the group since I was a child."
I was already sad. She was so similar to Yu Rou, but the difference was that her family was a thousand times richer than Yu Rou's! There was no way she and I could be together! God, you are kidding me, why do you always make me fall in love with a girl of this background?
But Xiao Yi continued, "But this bothers me a lot. The responsibility is too heavy, and I hope to live a more relaxed life. Fortunately, my family is relatively democratic. After I protested, my grandmother and my mother supported me. Although my father was very angry, he had to consider their opinions. So he agreed to give me three years. During these three years, I can indulge myself freely, and I will start working in the group after three years. So I have time to play Fantasy!"
I said calmly, "So what? For a rich kid like you, your life is not in your own hands. In three years, you will still be on the path your father has arranged for you."
Xiao Yi could tell that I had a bad tone, and she suddenly took my arm and whispered in my ear, "Are you worried that I will leave you in three years? Don't worry, you and I are actually the same kind of people. Do you think I will give my feelings to you easily? Do you think I am such a casual person?" At the end of her voice, she sounded resentful, as if she was going to cry in front of you.
I hurriedly tried to comfort her, then smiled bitterly and said, "I know you are a girl with a noble character. Once you are moved, it is true love. Otherwise, with your conditions, where can you find a boyfriend who would love to hold you in the arms of the moon in the sky and cherish you? Why do you have to find me to play the emotional game? I naturally believe that you are sincere, but... Alas, there are always too many helplessness in this world!"
"Sky, please believe me. Since I like you, I will be with you no matter what. Unless... you give up on me, I will never leave you."
"It may not be your own fault!" I shook my head and said, "With your status, your affairs are basically beyond your control. The pressure from people around you often makes it difficult for you to make a choice. I'm just a poor boy with nothing. If you are with me, won't your parents feel embarrassed?"
"I've already said it before, my family is very democratic. As long as you have good character, there's nothing to lose face about. Could it be that... you also have male chauvinism and think that you are not worthy of me because you are not as rich as my family?"
"Haha, how is that possible? If that's the case, then there's probably no man in the world who can match you. Although there are a few people in the world who are richer than your father, they all have children. In the future, you'll probably be the richest woman in the world."
"Then what are you worried about? It's enough that we are in love with each other. Anyway, I won't let other people's opinions affect my decision."
"It's not that simple, Xiao Yi. You've told me about your family, so listen to my story too."
"My last name is Feng, and my given name is Haotian. I grew up in a single-parent family. My parents divorced early in life, and I lived with my mother. The year I entered university, my mother lost her job due to illness, and my family had financial problems."
"Although my mother has medical insurance, she also has to pay 20% of the cost. My family didn't have much savings to begin with, so we couldn't afford my tuition. I could barely pay for my university tuition with the help of the state's relief loans for poor students, but I still had to find a way to pay for my living expenses. At first, I worked part-time, but I couldn't make much money even though I worked so hard. Later, a classmate who was keen on online games asked me to help him practice and paid me a lot of money. Then I realized that I could make money playing online games."
"Maybe I really have a talent for this. I can get started quickly and my level is higher than most people. I like to use my brain and am good at using the rules. It's easy for me to get some top-quality equipment, which can be sold privately for cash, which is much better than the income from doing odd jobs. So I gradually became a professional gamer."
"After graduation, I used the money I earned from playing games to pay off my loans, but because I spent all my time and energy on it, my grades were terrible and I couldn't find a good job. So, I had no choice but to continue playing online games."
"You said, I am an unemployed vagrant, I can be said to be useless. What benefits can I bring to the Golden Dragon Group if I fall in love with you? How could your father not object? To be honest, I am also surprised, why did you fall in love with me?"
"Wow, so your past was so miserable?" Xiao Yi began to wipe her tears. In fact, my situation was not too rare. Compared with some people who had truly suffered a tragic fate, my past was still a far cry from being "miserable"! However, in the eyes of people like Xiao Yi who were born with a silver spoon in their mouths, my situation was enough to arouse their sympathy.
"Well, don't be sad. I'm doing pretty well now. Since I started playing Fantasy, I've had great luck with this lucky account. I've made a lot of money and have no problems in life. I have so many brothers and friends , and we've formed the Thunder Alliance. This will provide me with a steady stream of wealth in the future. Why should I be unhappy?"
"Well, actually, it's because of this that I think you're amazing!" Xiao Yi looked at me gently, "You know? Long before we met for the first time, because I met Wanxing and learned about you from her, I was full of curiosity about you."
"At first, she hated you with all her might, but after you reconciled with her and helped her level up, she actually began to admire you. I was wondering, what kind of person could change the opinion of a stubborn girl like Wanxing?"
"Later, Wanxing went to help you break into the imperial mausoleum and let you build the first gang in Fantasy. After coming back, Wanxing told me that your ambition was to become the largest and strongest gang in Fantasy and eventually build a city. I secretly laughed at you for not knowing your place. I am in management, and I know how difficult it is to make an organization stand out in the fierce competition and become bigger and stronger. I am also building a gang myself, and I have invested a lot of my own pocket money in it. For me, it was just a fraction of my personal savings. I just used that money to buy a kind of fun in the game, but in absolute terms, it was also a huge amount of money. If I didn't have so much money, I wouldn't be able to keep the gang running. But I heard from Wanxing that you are a professional player who makes a living from games. You can only make money from games and it is impossible to invest a penny in the game from reality. You are fighting the world with bare hands. At that time, I didn't believe you would succeed at all."
"But then I ran into you by chance in Tiger Roar Forest. And you actually... actually proposed to me the first time we met!"
At this point, Xiao Yi showed a shy expression on her face. She pinched my arm and said viciously, "How could you think of that? Have you been thinking about finding a wife?"
"Oh, no way. I'm a professional player, so of course I have to understand the game thoroughly! For me, marriage and love in the game have nothing to do with each other. It was only because the situation was critical at that time that I thought of taking advantage of the rules of the game!" I hugged my arms and cried out in pain, looking aggrieved.
"Hmph, well, you were quick-witted and saved me from danger." Xiao Yi's words gradually became gentle, and he continued, "But after we escaped, I never expected that you would propose to go back and challenge the Tiger King! You are really brave, and the confidence you showed when you spoke, as well as the heroic spirit of not taking the Tiger King seriously, also infected me, and made me lose my mind and agree to accompany you to die! Now thinking back, I am surprised at my impulsiveness at that time. With our level of strength at that time, it was almost impossible to succeed!"
"But I don't know why, I naturally believed you, thinking that we would definitely win, so I followed you so foolishly! I didn't regret it until the Tiger King showed his power and almost killed me in an instant! But you saved me and led the Tiger King away yourself. But I, Yin Jingxian, am not the kind of person who abandons his partners in battle? So I followed you and fought side by side with you. I thought that at most I would die and lose some experience. But no matter what kind of danger you were in during the battle, you never gave up, and every time at the critical moment, you miraculously escaped and saved your life, and finally reversed the situation and really killed the Tiger King!"
"You said that you've had a shadow of me in your heart since the first time we met. How could I not be the same? The bravery and wit you showed in that battle left a deep impression on me, especially... I became your fiancée inexplicably!"
Xiao Yi told me about her past events in a leisurely manner, with a look of both anger and joy on her face, and a sparkling light in her eyes. She had an intoxicating charm that made me fascinated!
"But, at that time, I still believed that your Jinglei League had no future, so I rejected your invitation to form an alliance. You should know that your Jinglei League is a small and weak organization, and you are the first to be established. I don't know how many people are plotting against you, and I have heard a lot of rumors. At that time, I was still thinking that the Jinglei League would be destroyed sooner or later. You are a talented person. When your gang is disbanded in the future, I might as well recruit you into my team, hehe..."
"Okay, so you have no confidence in me? You deserve to be punished!" I said with a smile, reaching out and gently scratching her nose.
Xiao Yi stuck out his tongue, made a face at me and said, "People changed their opinion very quickly! First of all, you won the championship of the martial arts competition and became famous. In this way, even though you are penniless, there are still many masters willing to join you. Secondly, when you encountered monsters attacking your camp during the land reclamation and asked me for support, I learned that you actually have an ally like Bage! Hey, by the way, do you know the identity of Bage?"
I touched my nose and said, "Myna and I met in the game. I only know that he is very powerful, but I don't even know his name, let alone his identity. Could it be that he is the same as you..."
Xiao Yi nodded and said, "There is a little difference, but not much. He and his brothers are all princelings, and their influence is not small."
I was surprised and said, "No way, my brother is a generous and enthusiastic person, he makes friends regardless of social status, and he doesn't have the bad behavior of a playboy at all, how could he be a princeling?"
Xiao Yi smiled and said, "The princelings are also divided into different levels, and there may be outstanding people among them! Moreover, Bage is the kind of person who relies on his family's political power to run a business, but he himself does not get involved in politics. In essence, he is closer to a businessman. He and I met at a business event. Businessmen are different from politicians. They value making money through harmony and making friends. Naturally, they are different from those children of high-ranking officials who bully others by taking advantage of their power."
Xiao Yi added: "Since I know Bage, I naturally understand how capable he is. Since you are his ally, the Thunder Alliance must not be underestimated. So when I established Tianshui Pavilion and you came to help with the rescue and proposed an alliance again, I immediately agreed."
"Later, the Jinglei League grew stronger and stronger, unbroken in the face of adversity, defeated Ao Shi, defended the city and broke the army, and became famous all over the world! How can you be like what you said, a person who has no skills, idles around, and eats games? Your organizational ability, business methods, and ability to identify and use talents are unmatched. If it were me without the help of money, I would never have achieved this step today. You are just a talented person who is not appreciated!"
"And I started out of curiosity about you. The more I learned about you, the more surprised I was, the more attracted I was to you, and gradually... I fell in love with you."
"So, you don't have to worry about any problems between us in the future. At worst, you can come with me to work at the Golden Dragon Group in three years. With your ability, are you still afraid that you won't be able to do the job?"
I sighed and said, "Xiao Yi, your idea is beautiful, but the reality is often cruel. Let me tell you, before you, I once liked a girl."
Xiao Yi's body trembled in my arms and she looked at me nervously.
I smiled and said, "That's all in the past. When I was a sophomore, I met a junior girl at a school event. She was very beautiful and gentle, and we were very happy together. She didn't mind my shabby appearance, and we soon became lovers."
"Her name is Lin Yurou. You have also seen her. She is Feng Ling Youyou who won the Oiran Contest today."
"Ah!" Xiao Yi was very surprised and exclaimed.
"Her family is also very wealthy. Although it is not as wealthy as your father, it is still quite wealthy. When her parents found out about us, they strongly opposed it. She resisted the pressure at first and stayed with me."
"But then a young man named Du appeared. He pursued her fiercely, sending her flowers and love letters every day, arranging grand dinners for her on her birthday, and often giving her exquisite and expensive jewelry and cosmetics."
"I didn't care. I thought the love between her and me was pure. How could I be tempted by material interests?"
"But gradually I felt something was wrong. The time I spent with her became less and less, and she kept saying she was not available more and more often when we went on dates. My classmates told me that she had changed her mind and that she often went out with Mr. Du."
"Finally, she took the initiative to break up with me. I asked her why, and she said that she felt that she was not suitable for me. We were just ignorant first love, and Mr. Du was her real ideal boyfriend."
"She is so superficial," Xiao Yi murmured, "but do you think I am that kind of woman?"
"Listen to me! If that's the case, I have nothing to say. I can't spend a lot of money on her like Mr. Du did and give her all kinds of high-end enjoyment. Although she is rich, it feels different to spend money to take her boyfriend out to play and to have your boyfriend spend money to take you out to play."
"I wished her to find true happiness. I thought that what happened between her and me was just a dream of youth. But later, by chance, I found out that Mr. Du was a bastard with a beastly heart. While pursuing Yu Rou, he flirted with other girls, causing more than three girls to have miscarriages. He used money to make friends with gangsters in society to threaten those girls not to tell anyone about the incident, and even forced a girl to death! But he used money and his connections to find a scapegoat and escaped legal punishment!"
"And he approached Yurou not because he had fallen in love with her. Yurou is an only child like you, and she will inherit her parents' huge fortune in the future. He pursued Yurou just to marry her and take over her family's huge assets!"
"After I knew all this, I found Yu Rou and told her everything. She didn't believe it at first, but one of the girls that Mr. Du had insulted was a classmate of ours. After a quick confrontation, the truth came out. Yu Rou regretted it so much that she broke up with Mr. Du and came back to me."
"But not long after, she broke up with me again and got together with Master Du again!"
"I had true feelings for her, but I was played like this. I was angry, sad, and desperate. I almost wanted to kill someone and then commit suicide. Later, Wei and the others persuaded me to stop. After all, I still had a sick mother to take care of. I vented my anger in a game at the time. I killed everyone I saw and the screen was full of blood. It seemed that the sky was dyed red. Didn't you ask me why I was called Bloody Sky? That was the nickname I got at the time."
"But I still couldn't let it go, so I asked Yurou to come out and talk, trying to figure out why. Do you know what she said?"
"She said she couldn't bear the pressure from her family. Her parents' blame was fine, but her aunts, cousins, uncles, and other gossipy people all came to persuade her that she and I were not a good match. If she stayed with me in the future, she would be constantly blamed by her relatives and live in a painful environment forever. Although Mr. Du was a bad man, he was a good match for her. The combination of the two families could expand the scale of the business and make a lot of money, so Mr. Du would not treat her badly. Her parents even threatened her that if she didn't break up with me, they would cut off her financial support. She asked me how I could support her, relying on games?"
"I have no words to say! Xiao Yi, this is life, this is reality, it's different from games!"
"So, from then on, I buried my heart and never dared to pursue girls again. I could hardly support myself, so how could I have the money to invest in a relationship!"
"So, think about it. Even if I follow you into the Golden Dragon Group in the future, what will your parents think? What will your relatives think? What will your friends think? They will poke at your spine and say that you have found a gigolo. Can you bear such pressure?"
"So, you've had this experience!" Xiao Yi looked at me infatuatedly and whispered, "No wonder there's always a trace of sadness in your eyes, and no wonder you don't take the initiative to pursue me. But she and I are different. When I'm with you, I don't care what others say. Besides, my parents and elders are not the kind of people who marry people based on money. Before my dad started the battery business, my family was just an ordinary intellectual family. You don't have to worry."
She smiled and said, "Besides, even if my parents threaten to cut off my financial support like the girl's parents did, you can still support me by playing games now, right?"
"Using games to support you?" I said with a wry smile, "I've made quite a bit of money in Fantasy. Even if I sell Tiger Soul and Cornucopia now, I probably won't have any problem with food and clothing in the future. In the eyes of ordinary people, I can live a comfortable life. But you were born rich and you're used to fine clothes and delicious food. I'm not sure if my money is enough for you to buy a bottle of nail polish. Are you willing to live such a 'hard life' for me?"
"Well, such a life seems a bit sad..." Xiao Yi wrinkled her nose playfully, but tightened her hand around my arm, and whispered: "But I still have some private money. If my relatives really object, I will elope with you to a place where they can't find us. There, no one will know you and me, and no one will nag you and me. We can do a little business and live a happy life."
"Wake up, wake up, it's almost dawn, and you're still dreaming!"
"Hate it. Can't you even let me fantasize about it? You don't understand women's feelings at all."
I mean, is it possible to understand women?
"But to be honest, I can assure you that something like what you said would never happen in my family. In fact, I feel strange. The Mr. Du and Lin Yurou you mentioned are from wealthy families . Logically, they should be the ones who have the least shortage of money. To them, the value of love is much more precious! But why would they give up love for money?"
"It would be nice if everyone thought like you, but how many people in this world would complain about having too much money? Their union is a union of interests, which can bring more wealth to themselves and the people around them. So driven by various factors, they will naturally come together. Needless to say, Mr. Du is not worthy of being called a human being, let alone knowing what love is. And Lin Yurou just chose money on the scale of love and money, because in her opinion, the happiness brought by love is not as good as the enjoyment brought by money."
"Hehe, but my family is the kind of people who think too much money is not enough. My dad always says that with so much money, we have to figure out how to spend it, otherwise how can the world's economy circulate! So he often makes donations to the World Children's Fund. My dad donates at least 1 billion to them every year, which is much more than what he donated to this Oiran Contest!"
I know that Xiao Yi spared no effort to praise her father in front of me just to dispel my worries. I held her hand and nodded, "I believe you, and I know you will not let us down. Since you have made up your mind, no matter what kind of pressure you will face in the future, no matter how others look at us, you are willing to be with me, then what else do I have to worry about? Now, I am truly proposing to you, are you willing to marry me, Jingxian?"
"But...but you haven't said those three words yet!"
"Which three words?" I asked blankly.
"It's just that I love you... ah? You deliberately tricked me into saying it first! You are so bad! How come I didn't realize that you have so many bad intentions? No, no, it seems that I have to reconsider, I can't marry you!"
"No! I love you! I really love you! I will love you for ten thousand years! Feng Haotian loves Yin Jingxian, the dream is my proof, I will never regret it in this life!" I shouted loudly, the louder I shouted, the voice echoed far and wide on the grassland. My past feelings disappeared in this shout, and new love burst out through this shout.
My heart is healed!
