Chapter 20

Without Older Sister Zhou around at night, Yi Ming imagined endless scenes, such as Jiang Wei saying gently, "Why don't you just stay over tonight?"; or him lying on the sofa watching TV dramas while Jiang Wei quietly handed him a blanket to put on the sofa; or at the very least, even if Jiang Wei didn't let him stay over, the two of them could at least look at the moon and count the stars!

But Yi Ming did not expect that the old saying "Most things don't go as planned" seemed to have taken on new meaning when applied to him.

It wasn't just most things - it was clearly ten out of ten things going badly, who knows, it might even trigger some kind of nuclear fission and give him an unexpected nasty surprise...

After dinner, Yi Ming mischievously tricked Xiao Shi into the kitchen with a bone and shut it in, then curled up with Jiang Wei on the sofa to watch a silly romance drama.

"One look at the screenwriter of this TV series and you can tell they've never been in love."

Yi Ming reached into the bag of chips in Jiang Wei's arms and popped a chip into his mouth with a loud "crunch".

"If you can do better, then do it yourself."

Jiang Wei glanced at him disdainfully.

"I can't do better either, I've never been in love." Yi Ming's clear, bright eyes stared at Jiang Wei. He gently bumped her leg with his knee and laughed, "Hey, practice makes perfect. Do you want to consider being my test subject? I have to at least try before I know if I can write a good story."

Jiang Wei covered his wicked peach blossom eyes with her hand without even looking at him: "Watch TV."

Just then, the light bulb overhead suddenly went out with a "pop" and the power in the house went out.

Jiang Wei rummaged through boxes and cabinets looking for a flashlight. Just as she found one, there was suddenly a muffled "thud" from behind.

Jiang Wei rested her head on Yi Ming's shoulder, powerless to say: "Yi Ming, if you can't get it then you'll destroy me..."

At that moment, the usually carefree smile in Yi Ming's eyes had completely disappeared. His heart felt like a hundred roosters were trampling on it and randomly jumping around.

"Jiang Xiao Wei, don't talk. I'm taking you to the hospital now."

"What if I die today, Yi Ming?"

There were no taxis on the road. Yi Ming anxiously strode towards bigger streets, "Don't talk nonsense."

"I'm just saying, what if."

"If you die today, then I'll marry you at the hospital. Don't worry, I won't let you go without making you my wife first."

"What if I don't die, but become disabled?"

"Then I'll have even more reason to marry you."

Jiang Wei was stunned. Her voice grew weaker and gentler, "Why?"

"If you're disabled, who would dare marry you anyway. I'll just reluctantly take you in since I'll end up paying for you sooner or later." Yi Ming's mouth curved into a smile. The wound on Jiang Wei's head made her feel somewhat weary, but his words warmed her heart with a surge of joy.

She must have accumulated blessings in her previous life to meet him so early, from babbling to the prime of their youth. And most importantly, the one she loved also happened to love her back.
