"Miaomiao, don't you think you're being a bit too double - standard?" Cheng Ruan's gaze was starting to look a bit lecherous.
Miaomiao was taken aback by the question. She raised her hand to support her chubby cheek and fell into deep thought.
Double - standard?
Really?
It seemed so.
"Ruan Ruan, what's going on? I've always been trying to be fair. Am I turning bad?" Miaomiao thought for a long time and then showed a panicked expression.
Cheng Ruan was completely defeated by Miaomiao's way of thinking. Gritting her teeth in frustration, she said, "What do you mean turning bad! You're in love!"
"In love? What is love? Can I eat it?" Miaomiao listened attentively to Cheng Ruan's analysis of her "condition". Without realizing it, she picked up the cake on the table, took a bite, and said indistinctly.
"No, ugh! It's not something to eat! Love is a state, the state of two people being together. For example, your current thought of wanting to be with him forever is a typical sign of being in love. A man and a woman with no blood relation who want to be together forever need to get married, and the prerequisite for marriage is love. So, Miaomiao, you're in love. Do you get it?!"
Cheng Ruan racked her brains to explain it in the simplest language, hoping to make Miaomiao understand what was going on in her little head.
However, Cheng Ruan never expected that Miaomiao would say something that made her want to burst out laughing.
"No blood relation? I also have no blood relation with Dad. Then I don't want to marry Teacher Wei. I want to marry Dad! So as long as there's no blood relation, people can get married."
Pfft!
Cheng Ruan almost spat out a mouthful of blood. She stood there like a wooden chicken. How could such a shocking thing be said in public?
"No, Miaomiao! Don't you know that's immoral?! You completely misunderstood me! Uncle Lin is your relative. Relatives can't get married, but even if relatives don't get married, they can still be together all the time. Marriage is something you do with the person you like!"
"Ah? I like Dad very much too."
"But you and Uncle Lin are direct relatives!"
"But I've seen a lot of cousins get married on TV."
"You must have seen that on TV! That's old - fashioned feudal thinking! Now it's not allowed to marry cousins. It's not allowed!"
"Oh, but what is like?"
"It's the feeling I just described to you."
"Oh, I see. Then I like Teacher Wei!"
Phew!~
Cheng Ruan let out a long sigh of relief. She finally managed to get this girl back on the right track. This was also the first time she reflected on whether she shouldn't have always let Miaomiao watch those cheesy TV shows.
Cousins getting married, what a mess.
"Hey, Teacher Wei must like you too. When you two get married in the future, you must let me be your bridesmaid." Cheng Ruan was so excited after discovering Miaomiao's gossip. She felt like the CP she shipped finally had a happy ending. Her face was full of an auntie - like smile.
Although the process wasn't that pleasant.
"What is a bridesmaid?" Miaomiao was taken aback again.
"A bridesmaid is a female friend who accompanies you on your wedding day. Well, this isn't important. Anyway, when you're going to get married, just tell me in advance. I'll take care of the bridesmaid thing myself."
Cheng Ruan knew she was dealing with a little airhead. Since she already got the answer she wanted the most, she didn't want to waste more effort explaining other things.
Otherwise, if they kept talking, Miaomiao might even ask about the entire wedding process.
She didn't know that.
And Miaomiao completely misunderstood Cheng Ruan's meaning. She thought that when Cheng Ruan said accompanying her to get married, it meant Cheng Ruan was also going to get married.
Ah!~ What a beautiful misunderstanding.
When she returned to the dormitory at night, Miaomiao was still thinking about what Cheng Ruan had said during the day. She tossed and turned in bed and couldn't fall asleep. She always felt like there was something unfinished.
What was it?
Miaomiao wracked her brains. Suddenly, she thought of Tao Jing's aunt.
Tao Jing's aunt was also going to get married, but she wasn't happy! The reason seemed to be that Tao Jing's aunt didn't want to marry that man, but that bad guy forced her to.
So, marriage was a matter between two people?
Then if Teacher Wei didn't want to marry her, wouldn't she become a bad guy like the Lu family who forced Tao Jing's aunt?
But according to what Cheng Ruan said, she really liked Teacher Wei and really wanted to marry him. If one day Teacher Wei left her, she would be very sad...
What should she do?
In just one minute, Miaomiao used her slow little brain and finally came up with a solution.
Since she wasn't sure about Teacher Wei's feelings, she should just ask!
Lin Miaomiao, who did whatever came to her mind bravely and without thinking about the consequences, resolutely got out of bed.
She put on her loose pajamas and casually slipped on her slippers. Then she rushed out of the girls' dormitory and headed straight for the boys' dormitory.
The dormitory aunt in the boys' dormitory was extremely familiar with Miaomiao. Wei Ziqi and Miaomiao were pure rare species in this research institute where the average age was over 25. The dormitory aunt, who had watched the two kids grow up, was extremely kind and loving towards them.
Miaomiao often came to find Wei Ziqi, so even though it was a bit late today, the dormitory aunt had no intention of stopping her. Instead, she greeted Miaomiao with a smile.
"Hey, Miaomiao. Going to find Teacher Wei again?"
"Yeah, yeah. Auntie, I'm going up first!"
Watching Miaomiao's hasty back, the dormitory aunt was a bit confused and murmured to herself, "This girl isn't usually so impatient. What's wrong with her today? I'd better go ask Professor Sun tomorrow."
Miaomiao rushed upstairs and knocked on Wei Ziqi's door frantically.
Wei Ziqi, who was still taking a shower, heard the urgent knocking on the door. He thought something had happened. He didn't even have time to wash the foam off his head. He wrapped a towel around his body and rushed to open the door in a hurry.
But he never expected that Miaomiao, who usually fell into a deep sleep at this time, would come to find him.
The moment he opened the door, Wei Ziqi was stunned for a moment. And Miaomiao stared at his well - defined abs and milky - white skin. She swallowed involuntarily and stared straight at him.
....
....
"I'll be right back!" Without saying a word, Wei Ziqi closed the door again. He quickly put on his clothes, not caring whether his body was wet or not. All he wanted now was to regain his heroic image!
