Chapter 39

At first she just planned to meet up secretly, talked for a while, and had a short date. But at last after they met each other, it was hard to part. They not only went to eat, strolled around the bookstore and park, also went to the coffeeshop to watch a black and white movie. It was at night when they parted.

Ye Shu Wei sent Bei Er Duo home. When they arrived at her house, Bei Er Duo clearly looked at Bei Heng An. He was strolling around the front of the apartment. 

Thinking about how she turned off her phone for five hours, Bei Er Duo felt very guilty.

“I will get off the car together with you and go there with you.” Ye Shu Wei said.

“Okay.” She nodded.

When they both went in front of Bei Heng An, Bei Heng An just looked at his daughter. With stern voice, he said: “Er Duo, how could you not tell me that you go out today? You even turn off your phone?”

Bei Er Duo admitted her wrong quickly.

Bei Heng An shook his head: “Now it’s ten thirty. If you are not going home by now, I will really report you to the police.”

“Papa, I promise there would not be second time.” Bei Er Duo said with low voice.

“Where were you going today? Have you have your dinner?”

Bei Er Duo thought how should she answered it. Ye Shu Wei helped her talk: “She is with me. We went to stroll around. We ate dinner and watched movie.”

Bei Heng An looked at Ye Shu Wei, his voice was very distant: “Er Duo never goes home this late.”

Ye Shu Wei placed his hand on Bei Er Duo’s shoulder and looked at Bei Heng An: “It’s because she has never been in relationship.”

“It’s because it’s her first time dating, I feel a bit apprehensions.”

“Excuse me, what is it?” Ye Shu Wei asked.

Bei Heng An didn’t say it directly, he thought about it shortly then decided: “Let’s go up and talk.”

Hearing this Bei Er Duo said seriously: “Pa, you are willing to let Shu Wei go up?”

“Em.” Bei Heng An turned his body and he clearly looked helpless.

Ye Shu Wei and Bei Er Duo followed behind him, three of them went upstairs.

“Sit down.” Bei Heng An went inside, then pulled a chair. 

Ye Shu Wei sat down on the opposite of him. Bei Er Duo sat down on the middle.

“Bei Er Duo is almost twenty five years old. Finally she could meet the first man she loves. Honestly, I feel very complicated about this.” Bei Heng An confessed, “I’m afraid she couldn’t handle this well. I’m afraid she would be hurt so I am a bit begrudge about this.”

Ye Shu Wei was silent. He was really calm.

“She is very innocent and pure woman. It doesn’t mean she is a kid, but on the contrary, in this age, she understands a lot. I understand it. I mean her attitude by the time she likes someone he would invest a lot. She wouldn’t fuss over minor matters, she also wouldn’t do anything to hurt you. Do you understand?”

“Toward this, I really understand.” Ye Shu Wei replied.

Bei Heng An nodded: “It’s enough for you to understand it. For others maybe she is not the most beautiful, also not the most excellent, but for me, she is the excellent little girl in this whole world. I’m not at ease to give her to anyone. Could you understand this?”

“I understand.”

“But I’m after all just her father, I couldn’t care for her forever and also couldn’t accompany her forever.” Bei Heng An smiled bitterly for a while: “I need to look for someone that I trust. Toward this person I don’t have any economic request, I also don’t wish my daughter to have a luxurious life. I just hope he will take a good care of her, appreciate her. He will accompany her spend every day.”

Standing on the other side, Bei Er Duo was touched to hear her father say something like this for the first time. 

“Can you do it?” Bei Heng An asked Ye Shu Wei.

Ye Shu Wei was not panic or surprised. He just simply said righteously: “I can.” 

“Seems like you are prepared. Then let me ask, when you guys are in fight, will you let her have her way?”

“I will.”

“If other let her to be wronged?”

“I will not give any chance for them.”

“If she is sick?”

“I will take care of her.”

“If she is not happy?”

“I will look for a way to make her happy.”

“Since it’s the case, I also don’t want to be the someone who plays a bad part. If you agree to my last request, I will allow you to date.:

“You want me not to touch her before marriage?”

Bei Heng An’s eyes were shinning, he was silent for a moment: “No, my last request, you need to get Bei Er Duo’s mother’s approval to marry her.”

The time Bei Er Duo heard it, she immediately loosed her hand to protest: “Pa, don’t you think it’s too difficult. You clearly know since little till now, my choice always contradicts with her. Had she ever accept my choice? She never supported me.”

“This is unrelated with me.” Bei Heng An reminded, “Er Duo, everything in our family was decided by your Mama.”

“But you are divorced, she has a new boyfriend, she’s not our family anymore.”

“Er Duo.” Bei Heng An frowned, “Regardless of that, she is your mother. It couldn’t be changed. How could you say something like that?”

Bei Er Duo felt wronged. Turned out even when she is twenty five years old, she couldn’t go outside Xu Zhen Fen’s care.

“I promise.” Ye Shu Wei promised: “I’m confident I will get everyone’s approval.”

“Okay.” Bei Heng An stood up, then said: “Starting tomorrow, I wouldn’t stop you guys to date. But remember before midnight, you need to send her home safely.”

“No problem.”

Bei Er Duo was silent and sent Ye Shu Wei downstairs. When they were downstairs, she said: “How could you promise him? You need to know it’s hard to settle with her.”

“I said except the request of not touching you before married, I will agree to anything.”

“Then what if my mother doesn’t agree forever? Wouldn’t it mean I will be unmarried girl forever?”

“Er Duo.” He looked at her: “So actually you are really impatient to be married to me.”

“…………”

Don’t you worry, it won’t happen.” He kissed her forehead, “how can I let you be the unmarried forever?”

Under the moonlight, their silhouettes were overlapped, it was so close like it wouldn’t be able be separated.

Bei Er Duo felt a sleep. Toward someone’s promise, she felt very secured and satisfied.

…….

Ye Shu Wei and Bei Er Duo’s loving moment on the subway station appeared online.

On the photo, they both were wearing blue couple t-shirt.

Everyone was paying attention to their height difference.

“Ye Shu Wei seemed to be like he was carrying a hot kettle.” Someone was made fun of Bei Er Duo.

“Wow, turns out it’s the fact. One hundred eighty five man would be attracted to one hundred sixty girl. I was being disliked when I went to blind date with one hundred seventy two meters because I am one hundred seventy.” A woman with tall height protested.

Every time Bei Er Duo skimmed through the comment section, she would laugh loudly. The netizens were really too talented, their comment would poke her. 

If it’s in the past, she would feel unsure, but now she is confident and feeling it’s so sweet.

That kind of being envied or mocked or disliked, seemed to be cute for her.

“Post more of your daily activities or dates together, I want to see.” Of course there were also some requests.

Bei Er Duo replied to her comment happily. For several days, she posted a lot of their interesting moment during date. She viewed it as their date diary. They posted their date place, food, movies, musics. Also about his cold jokes. 

When she wrote about this, she didn’t want to show off. She wrote it in simple way, and won over netizens’ favor.

“Will you guys get married?” 

Bei Er Duo replied: “We are doing all-out toward that goal.”

On the other side, Ye Shu Wei was thinking about other matters during works. He was thinking how to win over Bei Er Duo’s mother.

This afternoon, everyone was gathering on the lounge room to play Mahjong. Ye Shu Wei never plays. He just stood on the window side and looked at his phone. He was browsing. Suddenly, He Yang opened the door and got inside. With a clear and loud voice he said to everyone: “Next week I and Zhi Ling will go and register our marriage. The wedding would be in November.”

Everyone was happy and clapping. Ye Shu Wei turned his body to see him.

“Really? Zhi Ling’s mother agree?” All of them started to gather and listen to his story.

He Yang looked so happy: “Not only she allowed me, she urged me to get marry. Last weekend her mama personally ran to our house and chatted with my parents about wedding.”

“How could she turn her intention?” The colleagues asked him.

He Yang kept on smiling: “It’s because now I have the gaming chip.”

“What?” Ye Shu Wei asked.

“I’m going to be a father. I am really too strong, I used that step and directly get what I want. If I know it from the beginning, i wouldn’t need to endure that humiliation of being rejected.”

Ye Shu Wei looked at He Yang, then commented: “Dirty, filthy guy.”

“<cough> <cough> tonight I will treat everyone. Everyone should come okay.” He Yang looked around: “Especially Gao Xian Yin. This period of time he always goes somewhere? Why he seems to be so mysterious? Where is he?”

When He Yang was sharing his experience in that ten minutes, there was an accident in front of the institute building. Gao Xian Yin was being bumped by a car . Hu Xiao Tong, his girlfriend, was on the road side, and screamed loudly. Gao Xian Yin was on the full of blood, Ye Shu Wei was out. He planned to buy gum. Ye Shu Wei noticed the accident and ran over. He looked at Gao Xian Yin.  He tried to help him before the ambulance arrived. In five minutes, the ambulance came and Gao Xian Yin was brought to the hospital. Ye Shu Wei followed the ambulance. Hu Xiao Tong was unresponsive and shocked because of the accident.
