"No." Jin He looked up at him. "I wanted to go downstairs for a walk, but Xiao He was worried and insisted that I sit in a wheelchair."

“He rarely spends time alone with you. If something happens to you while you're with him, he'll be in big trouble,” An Yi said. “Get up and walk around. I'll go with you.”

He didn't offer to help Jin He up, but simply stood silently beside him, watching Jin He slowly stand up from the wheelchair, take a step, and walk steadily. Jin He felt a little hot, and his scarf made him sweat a little.

But he didn't insist on taking it off; he thought it would be safer to just leave it wrapped around.

“Red hair doesn’t suit you,” Jin He said. “I still prefer you with black hair.”

"Okay, then I'll dye it back tomorrow."

"Forget it." Jin He's gaze swept over the top of his head before looking away. "Dyeing your hair so often is too damaging."

"Didn't you always dye your hair before? White hair, red hair, pink hair, blue hair, golden hair, green hair, rainbow hair."

"I had no choice before, it was for work," Jin He muttered. "So why did you suddenly want to dye your hair like this?"

"I just suddenly wanted to dye it." An Yi shrugged. "I just liked the look of it, there's no other reason."

"Then why not dye it black?"

“Wasn’t this the same color when you first dyed your hair?” An Yi muttered. “I wanted to try it.”

"Then let's get married when your hair turns black."

"For black hair to grow back, it will take... what did you say?"

For a moment, An Yi doubted whether he had heard correctly. He must have misheard. He didn't even have a formal status yet, and he was getting married! Was he dreaming?

“I said, let’s get married after your black hair grows back,” Jin He patiently repeated.

As a result, An Yi, like a silly boy, opened his mouth and uttered "ah ah" for a long time, but couldn't come out a complete sentence.

Don't you want to get married?

An Yi exclaimed, "Why are you doing this so suddenly? Why...why?"

Jin He asked several times but didn't get a definite answer, so he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed and angry. In this situation, even if An Yi didn't cry tears of joy, he should at least be overjoyed and give him a kiss!

Why?

Why do you think that is?

Jin He's face fell, and she turned and left: "Fine, if you don't want to get married, then forget it!"

"Hey! Hey! I didn't say I wasn't going to get married, hey, slow down, don't walk so fast..."

Anxi finished her work at midnight and was just about to take a hot bath and go to bed when she looked down at her phone and saw a call coming in. The caller ID read: "Big Dumb Guy".

Anxi hung up the phone without any expression on her face.

Not long after, the discount call came again. Anxi couldn't stand it anymore, picked up the phone, and started nagging: "It's my off-get off work time now. In the half hour before I go to bed, I just want to have some time for myself, take a bath, watch a movie or something. You better not bother me. Even if the sky falls, I'll wait until tomorrow!"

"sister……"

An Yi's broken, sobbing voice came from the other end of the phone, "Jin He, Jin He, he..."

Hearing his words, Anxi's heart skipped a beat, and she asked cautiously, "Are you... leaving?"

That shouldn't be the case. Wasn't she recovering quite well recently? She was even preparing to be discharged.

"What are you saying! Don't curse him!"

"It's nothing serious. I'm hanging up now, I need to rest."

“Jin He said he wants to marry me.” An Yi’s voice was low, sounding shy. “Then I will really be the daughter-in-law of the Jin family.”

"marry?!"

Anxi turned off the hot water in the bathtub, picked up the phone, and said with a serious expression, "You two haven't even started dating yet, have you? How come you skipped the dating step and went straight to marriage?!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? We've been dating for seven or eight years," An Yi said with emotion. "We've finally ended our seven-year relationship and are about to tie the knot."

"You ate those three years in between, didn't you?"

"That's just a tiff and a cold war."

Anxi: "..."

I won't ask you any more questions.

"I go to sleep."

"Hey, hey, don't do that, sis." An Yi quickly stopped her. "Um, do we have any gifts for our future son-in-law? I need to get him on board quickly, since Jin He's attitude changes as soon as he hears it."

"What kind of gift? Can't I just give him a blank check and let him fill in any number he wants?"

"Can't you come up with something new? At the very least, it should be an object."

"Let me see." Anxi opened the bedroom door and went to the third-floor collection room. "Hmm... Dad's collection of imperial jade thumb rings?"

"We're getting married, not ascending the throne."

"Porcelain from the Tang Dynasty?"

"It's inconvenient to carry around for a wedding, it's not portable at all."

"The kind of private garden villa that our family bought in Suzhou?"

“Hmm?” An Yi paused for a moment. “That’s fine.”

“Is this appropriate?” Ansie felt it wasn’t quite right. “Just give us a house and we’re done? Isn’t that a bit too easy? It doesn’t show how much we value them at all.”

"What do you mean by 'important' or 'not important'?" Jiang Shuyi appeared at the door and, seeing her daughter rummaging through drawers late at night, asked, "What are you doing here so late?"

“An Yi is getting married to Jin He, and he asked me to pick out some gifts for them.”

What did you choose?

“He said the garden apartment we bought last year was quite nice,” Anxi said.

"That garden?" Jiang Shuyi pursed her lips and shook her head. "It's too shabby. How about this, I bought a small island in the Southern Hemisphere earlier..."

"Mom, why aren't you surprised at all?"

"What am I surprised about? They're getting married?" Jiang Shuyi squatted down to search with An Qian, her expression unchanged. "It's just a marriage. Look at you, so ignorant and making a fuss over nothing."

Anxi: "..."

An Yi spoke up on the other end of the phone: "Mom, just give a token amount. Giving too much will make her feel guilty."

“This isn’t much.” Jiang Shuyi was still busy with her work. “Jin He gave you such valuable things, so of course we have to show some sincerity in return.”

"What is that?"

“It’s the bracelet his grandmother left him. It’s an old lady’s keepsake, isn’t it? It’s so thoughtful.” Jiang Shuyi glared at him and scolded, “You wouldn’t understand even if I told you. You’re so lucky to have such a good partner. Treat her well, you hear me?”

"I understand, Mom," An Yi advised, "but really, you don't need too much. Even if you give it to him, he might not want it."

Why don't you want it?

“Of course it’s because of the burden,” An Yi said. “A garden apartment is enough for our wedding. The property certificate will have both of our names on it, which is much better than giving him a bunch of property certificates with only his name on them.”

"Besides, his health isn't very good. Living in the garden means he can take a walk around at home when he has nothing to do. We can raise some small fish for him for a few days, that would be perfect!"
