Chapter 308 Marriage(1/2)
The young man in the inn and Ling Susu under the window were two people who had nothing to do with each other. Because of Ling Susu's repeated harassment, the young man agreed to help her.
As a result, the next day, she told him that if he wanted to have a relationship, he had to get married.
She lowered her head, held the corner of her clothes, and shyly glanced at him with her peripheral vision.
The young man still had the same iceberg face, and there was not much expression on his face, which also meant that his mood did not have any ups and downs, he was just considering whether to do this.
He always felt that Ling Susu was not really helping him, but just to deceive her into getting married.
But Ling Susu's last words made him agree to her proposal.
"Look at the people in the world, couples are in pairs, husband and wife are inseparable, the piano and the harp are playing in harmony, and the relationship is life-or-death. Don't you want to have such a relationship?"
Indeed, he wanted to have it.
This was an obsession deep in his heart, and he longed to know what it felt like.
It seems...as long as he possesses it, his mission is over.
The young man took her back to his old house, which had been empty since his parents died.
The two of them spent a few days cleaning the house, and Ling Susu finalized all the details of the wedding. When asked which relatives and friends would be invited, the young man was a little confused.
"Why invite them?"
In his view, getting married is a matter between two people.
Ling Susu said matter-of-factly: "That's what getting married is like. Spread the word and tell everyone in the world that we are getting married. From now on, you will be my husband and I will be your wife."
The young man was still puzzled and shook his head and said, "Why should we tell the world? This is obviously a matter between the two of us."
He was ignorant of the world and made Ling Susu angry.
But in the end, Ling Susu still chose to compromise. The two of them, without even a witness, completed a less than festive wedding in the boy's old house.
At the wedding, there were many red tapes, which were passed down from ancient times in the prehistoric world. The young man was ignorant of the world, and Ling Susu had brought him everything.
After worshiping heaven and earth, and worshiping their parents, the two entered the bridal chamber.
Ling Susu wore a red hijab and sat shyly on the bedside, waiting for the young man to come and lift the hijab for her.
She had given the young man instructions beforehand and informed him that this was an essential ceremony for getting married.
The young man opened the door and walked in. He looked at Ling Susu wearing a red hijab under the red candlelight. The candlelight flickered. The glacier in his heart that had not melted for thousands of years seemed to have melted a little.
He suddenly had a strange feeling. Emotion... was really a beautiful thing. At this moment, he was eager to have it.
However, looking at Ling Susu who was waiting for him to lift the hijab, he stretched out his hand but did not dare to lift it.
He seemed very close and yet very far away. He found that he was not qualified to lift the hijab.
This beauty should not be opened by his cold hands.
So, that night, he stayed with Ling Susu, sitting upright on the other side of the bed.
Ling Susu thought he had forgotten and reminded him several times, but he remained indifferent, making Ling Susu tremble with anger.
Finally the groom was kicked out of the bridal chamber.
The wedding night ended in such a hurry.
Early the next morning, Ling Susu got up, sat in front of the dressing table, and called the boy.
"I am already your wife. If I want to wear my hair in a woman's bun, please help me."
The young man looked at her and said one word: "Okay."
She told the young man what to do and how to win over her, but at this moment, he, who was always known as a man who was born with knowledge, was in a hurry and couldn't win over him no matter what.
He didn't know what was wrong with him. He had obviously learned all the steps, but when his hands touched the ends of Ling Susu's hair, his heart always fluttered.
Especially when he looked at the smile on her lips in the mirror, he became more and more busy, always messing up Ling Susu's hair.
Ling Susu was not upset, she just sat in front of the dressing table and watched her nominal husband pulling her hair into a bun.
The second day after the wedding was spent in front of the dressing table.
At the end of the day, the boy still couldn't make up his mind and was driven out of the room by Ling Susu with a smile.
"Let's go, let's go. I don't need you anymore. I won't hold you back. I'll let you hold me back when you learn how to do it someday."
Although the young man had no feelings, he roughly guessed that she was disappointed with him.
After leaving, he went to recruit a book boy. His role was not to accompany him to study, but...
Instead of Ling Susu, let him practice pulling his hair into a bun.
The scholar is a boy. People from ancient times, whether male or female, have long hair and can be trained by him.
But... every time a girl was around him, Ling Susu would show an angry expression, so he chose a male book boy.
The book boy was very surprised. The young man spent a lot of money to recruit him. He originally thought he was a rich man, but when he came to the house, he found that there were only two people in the huge courtyard.
Moreover, he is not here to study, but to be an experimental subject.
The young man would call him to practice every day until his technique became more and more pure.
In fact, the young man didn't know why his hands trembled when he was putting Ling Susu's hair into a bun.
There was obviously no wave in his heart, but his hands were shaking.
He had always kept this matter deep in his heart and did not let Ling Susu know about it.
He planned to wait until he was 100% sure before putting Ling Susu's hair into a bun.
However, not long after the two got married, Ling Susu began to vomit blood.
In front of the hospital bed, the young man looked at the pale Ling Susu with a calm face.
Even now, his heart is still calm and unruffled, just like it was when his parents died.
Although human nature told him that he should show sadness at this time, but... it was just a disguise after all and had no meaning.
"I...may not be able to stay with you all the time."
Ling Susu raised her hand and stroked his cheek.
"Actually... you should smile more and have more expressions on your face to show your emotions."
Ling Susu endured the pain and said softly.
She is the only person in the world who knows that teenagers have no feelings.
Looking at this familiar scene, the young man seemed to have returned to the time when his parents said the same thing when they passed away.
They looked at themselves lovingly and told him that he should smile more, be angry when he should be angry, and be sad when he should be sad.
"I can not do it."
The young man said four words lightly and shook his head.
"No, you can do it. You are naturally smart, focused, and can do anything quickly. As long as you persist in doing it, you will definitely succeed!"
Ling Susu held the boy's hand tightly and encouraged him.
Over the past few days, she had gotten to know the boy more and more, and the more she was amazed that there was such a person in this world.
What the young man has learned is extremely complex, diverse, and extensive, but he is specialized in every field he touches, even if those masters are slightly inferior to him.
Perhaps it is precisely because he has no emotions that he can be so focused on doing everything well.
"Promise me to shed a tear for me after I die."
The young man did not answer her. She pursed her lips, looked at the young man, and spoke her last wish.
The young man still didn't make a promise, he just turned around and left.
She was left with a cold and bland back.
She smiled bitterly. She didn't blame him. It was too difficult to help the young man have feelings.
After that, the boy stayed in the study and never came to see her.
Some meals and daily living are taken care of by the book boy.
She asked Shutong several times what the boy was doing, but Shutong said he didn't know.
Because the boy stayed in the study and never came out.
She knew that the young man was in the realm of enlightenment, but she... was born with physical obstructions and was unable to practice. An expert in the realm of enlightenment even declared that she would not live to be twenty years old.
So she can't live without food, she needs to eat and rest normally.
After waiting for a long time and still not seeing the boy coming, she finally went on a hunger strike out of anger.
Ask the book boy to go to the study and tell the boy that if he doesn't come to see her, she won't eat.
Three days passed, and the boy still didn't come to see her.
She suddenly felt a little discouraged.
Thinking of the cold and ruthless appearance of the young man, she had spent all this time on everything from chatting up on the roadside, following him all the way to Broken Heart Cliff, to the window of the inn, to the wedding room, and to wearing his hair in a bun.
Every time she was with the boy, she couldn't feel any friendship at all, as if she were next to an iceberg.
