The salty life in Life of Pi

Chapter 166 Can you get closer? Can you get closer? Satisfy my little vanity.
Lin Miaomiao's words reminded Mai Ju, but due to restrictions, few serious directors would choose to shoot horror films, so Mai Ju would not consider these for the time being.

After dinner, Wu Xianyu was summoned by Lin Miaomiao and drove the girls back to school.

After getting out of the back seat, Kanmu waved slightly to Lin Miaomiao. His face was flushed because he had drunk a little in the evening.

After watching Kanmu enter the school safely from the south gate, Wu Xianyu drove to the west gate and returned to his separate dormitory with Lin Miaomiao.

Lin Miaomiao's face was also rosy. She hugged Wu Xianyu's arm and pouted.

"Baby~ Let's go to Juzi's place during the holidays. I want to see what this dream job of hers is all about."

"Go, you've already said so, how can I not go? You've drunk so much tonight, your face is all red."

Looking at Lin Miaomiao's moist lips, Wu Xianyu couldn't help but kiss her.

"Hmm~"

Lin Miaomiao was a little frightened by the sudden attack and hit Wu Xianyu lightly. But when Wu Xianyu wanted to let go, Lin Miaomiao was reluctant and took the initiative to hug his neck.

Because it was tiring to maintain the posture for a long time, Lin Miaomiao had to let go. Then she quickened her pace, pulled Wu Xianyu back to the dormitory, and directly into the bedroom.

When the two opened their eyes again, it was already noon the next day. Lin Miaomiao stretched, pinched her belly, and couldn't help frowning.

Looking at Wu Xianyu beside him, his tone was a little anxious.
"Baby, do you think I've gained weight? Look at my belly. I can't even see any belly fat."

"Hmm? What progress bar?"

Wu Xianyu had a question mark on his forehead. How could there be a progress bar? Lin Miaomiao reached her hand into the quilt and looked at Wu Xianyu with an ambiguous expression.
"Oh, my belly, when I see those skinny people having sex, their bellies bulge out, but you can't even see my little belly."

Hearing Lin Miaomiao's words, Wu Xianyu felt his temples bulging. He reached out and hugged her in his arms, saying viciously
"I told you not to learn good things every day, and watch all this crap."

Time flies, and the final exams of the junior year are over in a blink of an eye.

"thump"

A stone was kicked into the water, causing ripples. Wu Xianyu looked at the place and was glad that no one was fishing there today.

Lin Miaomiao sat next to Wu Xianyu, swinging her legs as she looked at a place she hadn't looked at carefully in years.

"I've come here with you to fish so many times, but I never really looked at this place. It's really nice to look at now."

"It's a pity that you will see me less and less. You have obtained your teaching certificate, and the elite middle school is willing to accept you for internship. You will only come back here a few times in the future."

Wu Xianyu's words made Lin Miaomiao feel a little heavy. She sighed and turned to look at Wu Xianyu.

"You really don't want to pursue graduate studies? This is the first time I've seen three advisors fighting for one person. It's ok that you're good at English, but how can you be good at Russian and German?"

"I'm not going to study anymore. I'm a little tired of going to school. Besides, I don't have to go to graduate school to continue studying. My teacher also helped me find an internship company in Jiangzhou. Anyway, there's no way I can be separated from you."

"whee"

Lin Miaomiao sat a little closer to Wu Xianyu, leaned her head on his shoulder, and looked at the Weiming Lake with her mood like ripples spreading out.

"Hey, let me sing a song for you."

Wu Xianyu's voice sounded a little nervous, and it was unclear when a guitar appeared in his hand.

"Hey? Where did you get this guitar?"

"Don't worry about it, I'm just asking if you want to hear me sing."

"Listen, when have I not supported you in singing?"

Lin Miaomiao sat up straight, her body slightly tilted, and out of the corner of her eye she saw that there seemed to be someone else on the path not far behind them.

Before she could investigate carefully, Wu Xianyu's voice came

"I have walked through so many intersections, heard so many sighs, and I take your helplessness seriously.

I think everyone has this kind of confused feeling, and I’m lucky to be able to share your sorrow.”

Unusually, Wu Xianyu's singing voice was a little trembling this time, but Lin Miaomiao had no time to pay attention to this small flaw. She felt her heartbeat getting louder and louder, and Wu Xianyu in her eyes became increasingly blurry.

"Can you come a little closer, can you come a little closer, to satisfy the little vanity in my heart.

In fact, you don’t know that you are the most beautiful in my heart, just like the rainbow in the sky after the wind and rain.”

Taking a deep breath, looking at Lin Miaomiao whose eyes were already filled with tears, Wu Xianyu sang the next line with a bright smile:

"If you don't know where to go tomorrow, just stay with me and be my wife, okay? My arms, which are not broad enough, will become your warm embrace."

"If you are tired of the ups and downs outside, stay with me and be my wife, okay? I will definitely bear your occasional temper, and maybe I can also give you a little surprise, a laugh, a simple and safe little nest, accompany you from sunrise to sunset until old age."

At this point, Wu Xianyu couldn't sing any more. He felt his throat was extremely dry. He put down his guitar, got up from the bench by the roadside, lowered his body, knelt on one knee, took out the ring he had prepared long ago from his pocket, looked at Lin Miaomiao who was constantly wiping her tears, and spoke nervously with a trembling voice.

"Lin Miaomiao, marry me, I will definitely let you..."

"Okay, I'll marry!"

Wu Xianyu had prepared a long speech but he hadn't finished it yet. He had only said the beginning when Lin Miaomiao interrupted him and agreed to the proposal. She also blocked Wu Xianyu's mouth with her own words when he wanted to continue speaking.

Behind them, Hu Shuo, who was recording with a camera, and two other roommates, as well as Lin Miaomiao's three roommates, looked at each other, somewhat bewildered.

"You agreed so soon? I remember Xianyu prepared a lot of things to say."

"Hey, I told you that your expectations were in vain. Don't you know Miaomiao's personality? She must have been waiting for this proposal for a long time. She even has a calendar on her desk. The first thing she does every morning when she wakes up is to mark a line. You know what day it is today? It's Xianyu's 22nd birthday."

Chang Shengyan looked at the two people still hugging each other with an expression that was not unexpected to her, and turned to look at the crowd.

"Okay, let's go, it's over. If we wait for the wedding, it will probably be next summer vacation."

Just like when they came, everyone left Weiming Lake secretly.

After walking away, Liu Xingze smacked his lips with a hint of unsatisfaction.

"What's the matter? It's not as surprising as I expected. It feels a little calmer."

"That's reasonable. Just look at the development of Xianyu and Miaomiao's relationship. Are there any other possibilities for them?"

Deng Jiachen was in a good mood as he looked at the photos he had just taken with his mobile phone. He felt happy that the couple he had been pursuing had finally come to fruition.

"That's right. Anyway, I haven't seen them quarrel in the past few years. They spend every day together. I even suspect that if they were not under the age limit, they might have already got married."

"What, are you jealous? How are you and the squad leader doing recently? Last time I talked to the squad leader, she mentioned that the expression you looked at her seemed a little different. Xingzai, how far have you come?" Everyone had forgotten about the matter between Wu Xianyu and Lin Miaomiao, and started asking about Liu Xingze's relationship journey.

Summer vacation officially began. After returning to Jiangzhou, Lin Miaomiao shyly shared with her parents the news of her proposal.

Seeing the ring on Lin Miaomiao's finger, Wang Shengnan was just a little surprised, and her tone was full of sighs.
"Xiao Yu is too quick. He just reached the age and he took action. He is not willing to wait any longer."

"Humph"

Lin Dawei drank his tea and snorted softly, proving that he was still there and that he was not in a very good mood.

Wang Shengnan turned to look at him and raised her eyebrows.
"Oh? Do you have any other opinions? You don't even like Xiao Yu's son-in-law?"

Seeing that Lin Miaomiao's eyes were about to change, Lin Dawei quickly put down the teacup and explained
"What? I am very satisfied with Xiaoyu."

"What did you mean by breathing out of your nose just now?"

"If I don't use my nose to breathe, I'll suffocate to death."

"I'm talking to you nicely, you'd better be honest with me"

Seeing Wang Shengnan's threatening eyes, Lin Dawei reluctantly spoke

"Xiao Yu proposed to us without even saying hello"

"You old antique, are you still thinking it's the past? Xiaoyu is living with Miaomiao, not with you, and he even said hello to you. Forget it, I can't make sense with you. Hey, Miaomiao, when will Xiaoyu let us meet his uncle and aunt?"

"Hey, I'll listen to you guys. You decide the time. He's available anytime."

Lin Miaomiao was unusually shy. She rubbed her hands between her legs continuously. After all, they were discussing their wedding date.

"Oh, then we have to make a decision quickly. We can't let them wait too long. Dawei, don't be so rude. Let's go have a meal with Xiaoyu's uncle and aunt when we have time."

Wang Shengnan quickly got up, rummaged through her closet, and asked Lin Dawei to take some time out to come out.

After taking a look at Lin Miaomiao's expectant expression, Lin Dawei took a sip of the increasingly bitter tea and sighed.

"I'm always free. No matter how busy I am, I can't ignore my daughter."

"Hey, Dad, I know you love me the most."

Lin Miaomiao came to Lin Dawei, refilled his tea and handed it to Lin Dawei personally.

"In fact, Xianyu has already told me that after the wedding, we will let you move back and live on the original third floor. You can come visit us anytime then."

“Forget it then”

Hearing this, Lin Dawei immediately put down the teacup in his hand, shook off Lin Miaomiao's hand, and looked disgusted.
"With your personality, if your mom and I moved over there, you would have to go upstairs to eat every day. No, no, no."

"Oh, Dad~"

The meeting between the two families went smoothly. After all, the protagonists of both sides had already been decided, and today was just a formality. After dinner, Wang Shengnan and Aunt Liu began to worry about the dates of their two children and started looking for various masters to calculate the dates.

Wu Xianyu and Lin Miaomiao were both amused and helpless when they saw a teacher and a military dependent being troubled by this superstition.

Seeing Wang Shengnan talking to a certain master on the phone in a nice voice, Lin Miaomiao couldn't help but mutter

"Any day is fine. Marriage is about two people living together. As long as the two of us are happy, any day is a good day."

Wang Shengnan glanced at Lin Miaomiao without saying anything. She patiently listened to what the master on the other end of the phone said. After hanging up the phone, she earnestly told Lin Miaomiao:
"You don't understand. Since this thing has been passed down, it must have a reason for its existence. Look, so many celebrities believe in this, don't they?"

Ring ring ring--
Wang Shengnan's phone rang again. She glanced at the caller and quickly picked up the phone.
"Hey, Aunt Xiaoyu"

"Hey, Miaomiao's mom, what do you think? I've been asking about this for a few days. Are we right?"

"Okay, that's right, I have a few dates here, listen to them."

Watching the two women starting to exchange feudal and superstitious experiences again, Lin Miaomiao leaned on the sofa in silence.

After stroking the ring on her finger for a few times, Lin Miaomiao smiled and opened her mobile phone to watch short videos.

".Okay, okay, then let's get the marriage certificate on February 2rd. It's just the day before Chinese New Year, a good day, hahahaha"

From Wang Shengnan's tone, it seemed that a date had been set. After she hung up the phone, Lin Miaomiao looked at her blushing face and couldn't help asking:

"It's decided? February 2rd next year?"

"Well, let's set that day. It just so happens that everyone we asked said that this day is good. The Civil Affairs Bureau will not be closed on holiday at that time, and you will also be on holiday. You can go directly to get the certificate then. I guarantee that you will live a happy and fulfilling life in the future."

Hearing that the date was set, Lin Miaomiao was inexplicably relieved and began to look forward to it, but she still said
"I still think that how life goes depends on how the two of you live."

After a while, Lin Miaomiao couldn't help asking Wang Shengnan
"What about the wedding? When is it going to be held?"

"I have to ask you this, you haven't graduated yet."

As she spoke, Wang Shengnan reached out and poked Lin Miaomiao on the forehead. Seeing Lin Miaomiao's disappointing look,

"At least wait until you graduate. The earliest time will be next summer vacation. You can take your time choosing the wedding date. Xiaoyu's aunt and I will take care of it. You and Xiaoyu can just go to school with peace of mind."

"Actually, you don't have to go to class in your senior year. Most of the time you do internships. Xianyu and I have both found internships."

"Huh? Why haven't I heard you mention it? Where are you going? Are you really going to be a teacher?"

They have been busy with their wedding during this period, and Wang Shengnan even forgot that they are already in their senior year. Only then did she remember to ask where they were planning to do their internship.

"Hey, I'm going to Elite Middle School for an internship. You may not know that Zhao Rongbao is actually the principal. When he saw that it was me who was going to do an internship, he readily agreed."

"Huh, how come I don't know? Then do you know who the new dean of the school is? Tang Yuanming. But I'm telling you, you have to be more cautious when you get to school. You will be a teacher then, and you can't be as irrelevant as before."

Seeing Wang Shengnan starting to nag again, Lin Miaomiao rolled her eyes, fell on the sofa, and wailed inwardly, wondering when would February 2rd come.

At the end of summer vacation, Wu Xianyu and Lin Miaomiao have to go back to Beijing to get internship documents from school and handle various procedures.

When stamping Wu Xianyu's document, Professor Gao from the English Department looked up at Wu Xianyu with a tone full of emotion.
"Are you really not considering studying for a master's degree? Director Liu of the English Department, Director Bi of the German Department, and Director Wang of the Russian Department all want to recruit you. I've been in Peking University for so many years, and I haven't met many people with language talent like you."

Wu Xianyu took over his internship documents with a relaxed smile on his face.

"I don't want to study anymore. I'm really tired of studying after so many years. Director Liu also told me that learning doesn't have to be done in school. As long as you are self-motivated, you can study anywhere. I think as a student from Peking University, I still have some self-motivation."
