Chapter 138: Cannon Fodder 22
Yuan Wei's eyes wandered between the two of them, and she suddenly understood in her heart that Xuan Qihao wanted to confess to her just now!
When did he come up with this idea?
Yuan Wei couldn't help feeling confused. She didn't seem to have done anything that would cause him to misunderstand her.
Yuan Wei pushed her bicycle forward a few steps, approached Qi Jiayi and said to him with a smile: "Brother Jiayi, this is Xuan Qihao, an educated youth from our brigade."
Then he turned to Xuan Qihao and said, "Xuan Zhiqing, let me introduce you. This is Qi Jiayi, my fiancé."
When Yuan Wei introduced her, Qi Jiayi and Xuan Qihao both focused their attention on her.
When she finished speaking, the expressions of the two people were completely different.
The corners of Qi Jiayi's mouth rose slightly, his eyes were full of smiles, and if you looked closely you could see a hint of pride in him.
However, Xuan Qihao's expression became noticeably depressed, as if shrouded in a layer of gloom.
But he also had his own pride, and soon Xuan Qihao adjusted his expression and returned to his previous confident and charming look.
"Hello, Xuan Qihao." Xuan Qihao raised the corner of his mouth slightly and stretched out his hand to greet Qi Jiayi.
"Hello, Qi Jiayi." Qi Jiayi smiled politely and extended his hand to shake hands.
At this moment, the two men looked at each other again, as if they wanted to see into each other's hearts through each other's eyes.
Their eyes met, but without the previous hostility and fighting spirit, it turned into a deeper contest.
Qi Jiayi understood Xuan Qihao's meaning from his eyes - "Be nice to her, otherwise I can replace her at any time."
Xuan Qihao also felt Qi Jiayi's firm determination.
Xuan Qihao said goodbye and left quickly. He knew that he had no chance anymore and staying would only add to his sadness.
"Are you here to see me?" After Xuan Qihao left, Yuan Wei looked at Qi Jiayi and asked.
"Yes, let's go, I'll take you to work." Qi Jiayi replied stiffly, then took the bicycle from Yuan Wei and pushed it forward.
Yuan Wei stood there blankly, her hands suddenly feeling empty, and she was a little confused for a moment.
This person...
Yuan Wei tried to find a suitable adjective, but found nothing.
Seeing Qi Jiayi walking further and further away, she quickly quickened her pace to catch up with him.
"Are you... angry?" Yuan Wei observed Qi Jiayi's expression with confusion and asked tentatively.
"I'm not angry with you." Qi Jiayi's voice sounded a little stiff and cold.
"That means he is angry. Why?" Yuan Wei really couldn't figure it out and was full of doubts.
Qi Jiayi stopped, turned around, and stared at Yuan Wei with deep and complex eyes, as if he wanted to see through her.
After a long while, he slowly said, "I am angry with myself. I blame myself for not taking a few more days off to come back and see you."
It would be better if he just came back to spend more time with Yuan Wei, instead of just coming back once a year, allowing people to ignore his existence and approach Yuan Wei at will.
"Are you jealous?" Yuan Wei asked in a sweet voice with a smile on her face.
Jealous? So my sudden depression is due to jealousy?
"Yes, I'm jealous." Qi Jiayi replied seriously.
Yuan Wei was caught off guard by Qi Jiayi's admission. Her face turned slightly red and her eyes began to wander.
When Qi Jiayi looked at the blush on Yuan Wei's fair face, his mood inexplicably improved.
Neither of them spoke for a moment.
Only when they reached the entrance of the Dongfeng Brigade Health Station did Qi Jiayi return the bicycle to Yuan Wei.
"Actually, there is one more thing I want to do when I come back from vacation this time..." Qi Jiayi said.
Yuan Wei looked up at Qi Jiayi with confusion in her eyes.
Qi Jiayi looked into Yuan Wei's eyes and continued, "I want to ask you what you think about our engagement. The most important thing is that I want to get married during this vacation."
Qi Jiayi had originally planned to get married this year, but now he can't wait any longer. He doesn't want to give Yuan Wei any chance to leave him, nor does he want to give others any chance to get close to her.
He wanted to let everyone know that Yuan Wei was his wife, and he wanted to marry her home as quickly as possible.
Yuan Wei was a little surprised when she heard Qi Jiayi's words. She didn't understand why the topic suddenly turned to marriage.
but……
Yuan Wei blinked her bright eyes, Qi Jiayi's figure reflected in her black and white eyes. The corners of her mouth rose slightly, revealing a faint smile, and said, "Sure."
The original owner's wish was to fulfill the marriage contract, so Yuan Wei was originally going to marry Qi Jiayi.
Early or late makes no difference.
Yuan Wei only found out last month when this body celebrated its 18th birthday that according to the rural calculation method here, she is now 19 years old. In a few months, the new year will come, and she will be 20 years old then.
According to the villagers, she is an old maid.
In the village, people generally believe that a girl who is still unmarried by the age of 20 is considered a leftover woman.
Recently, many people have come to ask Xia Xing'er about Yuan Wei's marriage arrangements, and are curious whether her engagement with Qi Jiayi is still valid.
The reason why these people are so concerned is simply because they want to match their sons and nephews.
After all, in this area, Yuan Wei's conditions are considered outstanding.
Not only is she beautiful, but she is also a high school student and has a stable job.
With such conditions, she is more than capable of marrying into the city.
Qi Jiayi was stunned when he heard Yuan Wei agree without hesitation. He asked in disbelief, "You mean... yes?"
"Yes, of course. Don't you want me to give you a positive answer?"
Yuan Wei tilted her head playfully and asked back with a smile.
"No... I mean... did you agree?" Qi Jiayi looked at Yuan Wei in disbelief, his hands trembling slightly with excitement.
He thought he would need to make more efforts to get Yuan Wei's consent, but he didn't expect Yuan Wei to give the answer so straightforwardly.
"Well, I agree." Yuan Wei affirmed again, her voice gentle and firm.
She looked at Qi Jiayi, a barely perceptible smile flashing in her eyes.
Qi Jiayi's eyes instantly became hot, as if there was a flame burning.
The huge surprise made his mind go blank, leaving only deep love and gratitude for Yuan Wei.
He just stared at Yuan Wei closely, his eyes full of attachment and affection.
Yuan Wei felt a little uncomfortable with his passionate gaze, and a blush appeared on her face.
She coughed lightly and broke the silence: "I'm going to work first. You can let my aunt discuss the details with my mother. Anyway, I have agreed."
After saying that, she didn't look at Qi Jiayi again, turned around and walked into the health station.
