At night.
It was past eight o 'clock.
His father and Wu Changhe were playing chess in the house. His mother and Li Qinqin were chatting happily, discussing how to handle the wedding. Zhang Ye and Wu Zeqing were cuddling in the west room.
Inside the house.
Zhang Ye was a little tipsy and became very talkative. He hugged Old Wu's waist and chattered away.
Wu Zeqing gently pinched his head. "If you can't drink, then drink less."
"Hai, I'm so happy today," Zhang Ye said in high spirits.
Old Wu smiled and said, "It was already decided a long time ago. Why are you only happy today?"
Zhang Ye said, "Haha, that's different. How can it be the same as getting engaged? Today, it's officially over, and I'm relieved. "
Wu Zeqing smiled. "So you're afraid that I'll run away?"
Zhang Ye said in amusement, "That's not it. You probably won't be able to find someone as outstanding as me."
Wu Zeqing pinched his temples, "Hur Hur, right."
There was no banter.
There was no teasing.
Her "Yes" was said with great certainty.
Zhang Ye smiled and said, "If you're talking about being afraid, there's something that I'm really afraid of."
Wu Zeqing calmly asked, "Tell me."
Zhang Ye smacked his lips and said, "I'm afraid this is just a dream. When I open my eyes tomorrow, I'll wake up." He spread his hands and said, "I'll wake up."
The moment he opened his eyes, the world around him had changed and he had arrived in an unfamiliar environment. The story of his life could not even be told for three days and three nights. His experiences could only be described as legendary. Even if he told anyone about it, no one would believe him. Sometimes, Zhang Ye was really afraid that when he woke up one day, Old Wu would no longer be by his side and everything would be gone.
When Wu Zeqing heard that, she said, "Sometimes, I'm afraid too."
Zhang Ye looked at her. "What are you afraid of?"
Wu Zeqing smiled and said, "I'm afraid that when I awaken, you'll still be young, while I'll be old."
Zhang Ye rolled his eyes. "You take care of yourself so well, and you call yourself old? Come on, if we're going to get old, I'm going to get old first. Let me tell you, you're just a little older than me. I'll definitely get old faster. "
Old Wu suddenly said, "If I become old one day, you …"
As he spoke, the sound of footsteps approached, and the door opened.
Li Qinqin, Zhang Ye's mother, and the others all came over.
Li Qinqin heard a tail and asked, "What's old?"
Wu Zeqing said gently, "It's nothing."
Wu Changhe said, "Your uncle and auntie said they're going back."
"It's getting late. Let's go," his mother said with a smile.
Zhang Ye stood up. "Alright then, Auntie and Uncle, we'll be going back now."
Li Qinqin smiled and said, "Come over when you're free. There's no need to call. Just come over directly."
Zhang Ye smiled and said, "Don't worry. I'll treat this place like my own home. You're welcome. Oh right, my uncle's mahogany chair looks pretty good. Can I take it away?"
Wu Changhe rolled his eyes. "How dare you!"
Mom also patted her son. "You're really not holding back!"
Li Qinqin laughed, "Hahahaha."
Everyone laughed.
At the entrance of the courtyard, Old Wu and her family sent Zhang Ye and his family off.
When they got back, Li Qinqin asked casually, "Zeqing, what were you talking about with Little Ye just now?"
Wu Changhe said, "Why do you keep asking about the affairs of a young couple?"
"I'm just concerned." Li Qinqin rolled her eyes at him and said, "You're responsible for everything. Go and play your chess. Let's talk about our own stuff."
Wu Changhe harrumphed and went back into the house to switch on his computer.
A moment later, Wu Changhe's voice suddenly came from inside the house. "Eh, my daughter, come over here quickly. Little Ye's Weibo has just been updated!"
Li Qinqin came over. "Isn't he in the car?"
Wu Changhe said, "He probably posted it on his cell phone."
Wu Zeqing also came over and lowered her head.
When You're Old
When you're old, gray in your hair and drowsy,
Wearily sitting by the stove, you take down this book,
Slowly reading it, dreaming of the look in your eyes from back then.
That gentle and beautiful expression, and that deep and serene halo.
How many have loved the pictures of your youth,
Loved your beauty, with hypocrisy or true love,
Only one has loved your pilgrim's heart,
Loved the marks of time on your sorrowful face.
By the grate, you bend down,
Whispering, with a light sadness.
How love dies, How it climbs the mountains,
How it hides its face among the stars.
Written on September 9th.
— I, Lord Zhang, am engaged!
Li Qinqin laughed. "This Little Ye."
Wu Changhe pointed at the poem on the screen and said disdainfully, "Look at this, isn't this sour? Does he think you're old? Gray in your hair? What day and age are we in? Who would still fall for such sweet nothings? "
Wu Zeqing, who was next to him, smiled and said, "I do."
Wu Changhe was speechless.
Li Qinqin said, "You're just jealous of Little Ye's literary talent. Daughter, you don't know how your dad wooed me back then. When he wrote to me, the first thing he did was say, 'My dear comrade Qinqin.' Whoa, that nearly gave me goosebumps."
Wu Changhe said angrily, "Li Qinqin, are you looking for a fight?"
Li Qinqin pouted. "Look at you, you're getting so worked up over just a sentence."
Wu Zeqing just stood there smiling, but her eyes fell back to the poem. In just a short while, she had read this line for the umpteenth time.
…
Meanwhile.
It was also blowing up on Weibo!
Zhang Ye's Weibo followers had long since reached the tens of millions. Moreover, he did not usually post anything on Weibo. When he updated his Weibo, he would rarely post anything about his status, photos, or other unimportant details of his life. His Weibo posts were usually either about writing poems or scolding people. In any case, something big was bound to happen, so the people and the media kept a close eye on it.
It was the same today.
Everyone saw it right away, and then they were all stunned!
"Holy shit!"
"Teacher Zhang is engaged?"
"What? That's impossible! "
"There's actually someone who dares to marry such a wicked person? Who would be so bold! "
"Hahaha, could it be that lilacy-like girl from that poem?"
"It's probably her! Who on earth is she? "
"A celebrity? Or a commoner? "
"I don't know. There's no information at all!"
"These paparazzi are too unprofessional. Lord Zhang is already engaged, so why don't they know who his partner is? They must give him a bad review! "
"This poem is so beautiful!"
"Zhang Ye's love poems will always be different from others'!"
"This fellow is obviously overjoyed today. He even called himself 'Lord Zhang.' How shameless! Haha! "
"No matter what, we have to congratulate Zhang Ye first!"
"Release a photo!"
"@ ZhangYe! Who on earth is that woman? "
"They must have been secretly in love for a long time. Otherwise, they wouldn't have gotten engaged right off the bat. Our news is too outdated. Zhang Ye has hidden himself too well!"
"I thought that with Teacher Zhang's temper, he would never find a partner in his lifetime."
"Pfft, me too!"
"I just don't know who Auntie Zhang really is!"
"Come out, Auntie Zhang!"
"I'm summoning Auntie Zhang. Please show yourself immediately!"
The netizens were all heckling him!
His looks had always been Zhang Ye's disadvantage, but it could also be his advantage at times.
His looks were not outstanding, but he was a little better than the average person. That was why he clearly did not walk the path of an idol. It was much more difficult for him to make a name for himself in the entertainment industry compared to other idols. Every step he took was not easy. But at the same time, having climbed to where he was today, when Zhang Ye announced his engagement, it did not really affect him much. He did not need to hide anything and dared to announce it openly on Weibo.
Others would not dare to!
For example, Dong Shanshan.
For example, Huo Dongfang.
For example, Ning Lan.
For example, Zhang Yuanqi.
Some celebrities had a clause in their contracts with their talent agencies that forbade them from dating for the next few years. This was to prevent them from losing fans. Some fans were very realistic and would switch to other celebrities of the same type after knowing that their idol had gotten married. There were countless examples of this. Many celebrities had their popularity plummeted after announcing their marriages. Of course, there were also those who managed to maintain their popularity, but no one dared to take the risk.
But Zhang Ye was not afraid. He really was not afraid.
That was why he could be more dashing than any other celebrity.
