《If We Cannot Grow Old Together》C16. I'd Like the Marriage Arrangement Postponed
Advertisement
Xia Wanyan had actually conspired with her doctor to claim that they have found suitable bone marrow and then to fake an operation.
But the thing gets out of control and she doesn’t know what to do when Li Qiaosheng said suddenly that he could donate his bone marrow.
After all, she does love Li Qiaosheng heart and soul, otherwise she wouldn’t have fallen out with Mu Ziyou and made her enemy. Now that the bone marrow transplant thing is just a supposed operation, how can she allow the doctor to really take the bone marrow from his body?
“Dad, I'm in trouble! I need your help...” At the end of her wits, Xia Wanyan calls her father for help.
Getting to know the whole story, Xia Zhiguo, Xia Wanyan’s father, starts to comfort his beloved daughter. “Okay, I got it. Take it easy. In fact, I think it could be your time...”
There comes the day and Li Qiaosheng is preparing for the operation.
“Qiaosheng!” Suddenly there comes a solemn male voice from behind.
Seeing Xia Zhiguo, the chairman of the board of a company, Li Qiaosheng slightly lifts the corners of his mouth and steps forward, “How are you doing, Mr. Xia?”
“Good. Qiaosheng, I'm quite clear about your feelings toward my daughter, which has fallen into my eyes as a father. Although the loss of a bone marrow (a common sense mistake) would not do you much harm, Wanyan doesn't think so. She is worried that you might get hurt. After all, we can get others’ with money. But yours is different, Qiaosheng! Since your wife is gone, what about letting Wanyan take over her responsibility to take care of you?”
“Dad!” Just at this time, Xia Wanyan comes over with the help of a nurse. She puckers her lips and says coquettishly, “It’s been only a few days since Youyou's death. Even though she made Qiaosheng lose his mom, she has compensated him with her death. Anyway, Youyou has been Qiaosheng's wife. How can you urge him to marry me at this time?”

“I'm sorry, Qiaosheng. I have thought it over and I’ve decided that I can't use your bone marrow. It's such a big favor that I can't afford anything other than myself to pay you back. Anyway, the doctor told me that he had found the matching bone marrow for me, so don't worry about it.” She turns to face the man.
Li raises his eyebrows and finally gets the essence of what the father and daughter want to convey to him-
“Give up donating his bone marrow to Xia Wanyan; otherwise, marry her.”
He lowers his head in deep thinking. When he raises his eyes and looks into Xia Wanyan’s expectant eyes, he finally says slowly, "Well then, I would like to follow your wish, Mr. Xia. Wanyan is a good girl, and I'm pleased to be able to marry her. But, since it hasn’t been long since my mother's funeral, I'd like the marriage arrangement postponed for a while.”
“Great! Of course.”
“Do you mean it, Qiaosheng? Do you really want to marry me?” Xia Wanyan rushes to Li Qiaosheng with a cheer, her eyes sparkling, totally forgetting that she's still faking a “patient”. Yet her expression is still somewhat scrupulous.
Seeing her reaction, Li can’t help being touched again.
“There might be some unspeakable reasons for her to deceive me.” Li thinks to himself.
“Why not? Do you remember the appointment we made when we were just little kids? I promised you that I would definitely marry you if you're still single when we grow up.” He softens his voice naturally.
However, Xia is irritated on hearing this because she knows clearly that the appointment was made between him and Mu Ziyou, that dead "BFF" of her! Although Xia is almost bursting with hatred inside, she appears to be quite moved and hugs Li tightly.
Why?!
Why does he only see Mu’s image in their childhood rather than her image when they are grown up, even though she has done so much for him?!
It’s More Like an Accident on Flying Lines.

TW: Sexual assault, murder, abuse, needles, gore, child death, genocide, cult, fire, self harm, and moreDisclaimer: this story will be very disturbing, but it is something I have wanted to write for a while so I hope you'll enjoy.About: During the winter Kyrie was in his bathroom sitting on the cold toilet seat. The chill seeming to stab the nerves in his bottom. Noticing blood droplets splash into the water below him, he felt a familiar sting reach his eyes and his vision faded like the frost covered window beside him. He saw a dull pair of scissors on the sink to his right and decided to get to work.Update: I deleted some of the extremely detailed descriptions in the first chapter because the goal of the chapter wasn't really to gross people out. It was to show detail to what triggered Kyrie to do what he did.
