After My Flash Marriage with the Sick Beauty, I Reached the Pinnacle of My Life - Chapter 103.1
Ye Murou felt completely ill at ease. She had only met Wei Xixue a few times, and their relationship wasn’t particularly good.
Now, this person was openly expressing her intention to pursue her, and with such a kind attitude that Ye Murou couldn’t bring herself to give a firm refusal.
Wei Xixue turned sideways: “Let’s go eat.”
Ye Murou: “Now?”
“Mhm, I haven’t eaten anything since I got in the car.” Wei Xixue nodded, her eyes already searching for nearby restaurants.
The dining environment in the small county wasn’t great; most places offered cheap and convenient food.
Ordinary people just needed to fill their stomachs, but Ye Murou wasn’t sure if Wei Xixue would be used to it, as these foods weren’t exactly healthy.
Wei Xixue found a place that looked relatively clean. She walked in, used a wet wipe to clean the table before sitting down, and then pulled out another one to wipe the chair.
Ye Murou didn’t sit down; she just watched her clean.
The proprietress saw that they were from a big city, wiped her forehead, and smiled as she asked what they wanted to eat. Ye Murou didn’t speak; she also didn’t know what Wei Xixue wanted.
Last time they met at a restaurant, it seemed Wei Xixue left without eating anything.
Besides, those things weren’t available at this shop.
Ye Murou looked at the plastic film posted on the wall, which displayed the available dishes—things like meat buns for one dollar, steamed buns for fifty cents… and also some stir-fries and rice, specifically offered for lunch.
It was almost noon now, so they could order some fried rice. Ye Murou was about to speak when she heard Wei Xixue say: “Buns will be fine.”
Proprietress: “Do you want soybean milk?”
Wei Xixue: “No, thank you.”
Ye Murou told her: “It’s freshly ground.”
Wei Xixue thought for a moment: “Then let’s have two cups.”
These two cups included Ye Murou.
Ye Murou couldn’t help but smile slightly. Watching Wei Xixue wipe two seats clean and offer one to her, her smile faded into a look of helplessness.
She would act like a girl from the big city and deliberately do these things. Wei Xixue was different; it was a subconscious act for her.
The real Ye Murou wouldn’t care about these things; she had even picked up trash before, so why would she worry about cleanliness?
Ye Murou sat down and used the tea on the table to wash her bowl.
Wei Xixue looked at Ye Murou’s movements: “What are you trying to do by coming here?”
Ye Murou pressed her lips together, reluctant to speak.
Wei Xixue waited patiently, but Ye Murou couldn’t hold out, resisting quietly: “Since you could guess I was here, can’t you guess what I want to do?”
“I didn’t need you to come over…”
You’ve shown me so much kindness, without considering if I can bear it.
Ye Murou didn’t know why, but her eyes suddenly stung. She blinked, recovering her usual demeanor.
“I need to go home for a trip,” Ye Murou replied.
The buns arrived. In this place, Wei Xixue was the one who was new, but it was Ye Murou who ate constrainedly.
She took small bites of the bun, likely planning to find an excuse to leave after finishing it.
Wei Xixue: “Did he look for you for something?”
Ye Murou paused her bun-eating: “Something like that.”
“It’s a very troublesome matter, isn’t it?” Wei Xixue was spot-on. “It must be related to money, but it’s not something that can be solved just by giving money, otherwise, you wouldn’t have come back alone. At the very least, you would have asked Xia Shishi for help.”
Wei Xixue chuckled casually: “Just like asking a boss for a salary advance, it’s easier for you to ask Xia Shishi.”
Ye Murou started drinking her soybean milk, avoiding saying more in front of Wei Xixue.
Wei Xixue looked outside: “What could it be? Nothing more than trapping you, just like he trapped your mother back then.”
She actually guessed it.
Ye Murou felt restless, feeling as if all her shortcomings had been exposed, causing her pain and distress, making her wish she could hide in hell right now, which might be better.
“You came back but stayed in a hotel, unwilling to go home. He wants you to marry, right? What are you planning to do?” Wei Xixue looked over.
“…I plan to take away the household register.”
Hearing Ye Murou’s answer, Wei Xixue smiled again.
“Take away the household register, and then what? Even if you destroy it, he can apply for a replacement, which will be processed quickly. Then he will force you to come back again and make you marry.”
Ye Murou became even more reluctant to speak after hearing that. The plan she was nervously trying to complete seemed overly naive in this person’s eyes.
But what could she do?
Ye Murou took a fierce bite of the bun in her hand. She couldn’t possibly hide abroad just to avoid that man.
Why should she? Did she really do something wrong? Was her birth a sin, preventing her from even staying in this country?
Wei Xixue saw the stubborn resolve in Ye Murou’s heart and knew this was Ye Murou’s only option.
Ye Murou’s birth wasn’t wrong, it was just too sorrowful.
Wei Xixue also took a sip of soybean milk. The rich fragrance of the freshly ground soybean milk made her feel much better when she said: “Have you considered marrying me?”
Wei Xixue: “Marrying me allows you to directly move out your household registration. Even if he goes to apply for a replacement, it will be useless. If you are dissatisfied with the marriage, you will have your own separate household registration after divorce, and he won’t know.”
How tempting these few sentences were! Ye Murou slowed down her bun-eating movements and cautiously looked at Wei Xixue.
“Tell me your detailed plan, hmm… fiancée?”
“I am not your fiancée!”
Goosebumps instantly rose on Ye Murou’s skin. Wei Xixue laughed happily: “I saw how much you envy Xia Shishi, I thought you wanted the same thing as her.”
Ye Murou: “It’s different.”
She was only envious that Xia Shishi could accomplish anything.
The buns were finished. Ye Murou held the bowl full of soybean milk: “I plan to find someone to snatch the household register and then lie to him that I’ve already married someone.”
Ye Murou introduced Zhao Dahai’s situation to Wei Xixue.
She specifically emphasized that Zhao Dahai and his brothers look very difficult to deal with, and that man would definitely be intimidated.
Ye Murou: “Scum only fear those who are worse than them. Intimidation is the best method. Just telling him about the marriage isn’t enough; it must be a snatch, to tell that man that I married someone who shouldn’t be provoked.”
As for the man applying for a replacement household register, Ye Murou had considered it too.
But she couldn’t give up her actions because of this concern. She had to try, to give herself closure.
Now that Wei Xixue mentioned the suggestion—having a separate household registration even after divorce—Ye Murou seriously thought about it and couldn’t help but be tempted.
From their interactions so far, Wei Xixue was a very reliable doctor, making her suggestion also incredibly reliable.
Ye Murou: “Let’s talk about it after I get my hands on it.”
Agreeing now was too soon; Ye Murou didn’t want to be so careless.
Wei Xixue nodded, called the proprietress to pay the bill, which only came to six dollars in the end.
Zhao Dahai needed some time to find helpers. Ye Murou hadn’t expected Wei Xixue to arrive so early. She had planned to stay in the hotel for the remainder of the time, but now with Wei Xixue around, she had to abandon that plan.
Otherwise, if both of them stayed in the hotel staring at each other, she didn’t know if Wei Xixue would be awkward, but she definitely would.
There wasn’t much worth seeing in this place, so she could only take Wei Xixue for a casual walk.
When it got dark, she would bring Wei Xixue to the hotel with her.
“Register your ID card.”
The receptionist stared blankly at the slender woman in front of her. Her demeanor was completely out of place in this small town, and her presence in this hotel was simply splendid.
Ye Murou: “…” She hadn’t even taken out her ID to register.
Wei Xixue was compliant. Even when the receptionist said it wasn’t necessary, she insisted on registering, so the receptionist had no choice but to take it.
Noticing Ye Murou’s hesitant expression, Wei Xixue said: “I’m just here to accompany you to see the scenery anyway, so I’m not afraid…”
Ye Murou lowered her head.
The receptionist let out a gasp when returning the ID card: “Is our place becoming a scenic area?”
Wei Xixue couldn’t be bothered to chat with anyone other than Ye Murou. After registering, she just looked at Ye Murou, who secretly cursed in her heart: Dream on.
Ye Murou led Wei Xixue back to the room: “How many days did you take off?”
Wei Xixue, who was already checking the cabinets, turned her head.
Ye Murou: “If you just want to see the scenery, I still suggest you go somewhere else. The mountains here aren’t pretty.”
Wei Xixue didn’t mind: “You’ve lived in the mountains since childhood, so naturally you’re tired of seeing them, but I haven’t seen the scenery you’ve seen. Why can’t I go and take a look?”
Wei Xixue found a small mechanical object and stepped on it, shattering it.
Ye Murou looked down at the pieces and agreed.
It must be said, the mountains here were indeed beautiful, the air was fresh, and the spring water was sweet.
Ye Murou accompanied Wei Xixue for two days. The doctor showed no signs of fatigue, seeming even more like a mountain dweller than Ye Murou. However, after looking around the mountains, all you saw were trees. No matter how beautiful the scenery, by the third day, she was tired of it.
Fortunately, on the third day, Zhao Dahai called, saying the helpers had been found.
