Xu Moyan looked at him seriously too. This was her first time hearing Wei Zilin seriously discussing a prospective wedding with her.
It was as though they had known and loved each other for a long time, and it was only natural that they discussed marriage, rather than the fact that they had only been dating for a few days.
However, Wei Zilin said it so seriously that Xu Moyan believed it seriously as well.
“By the time the slightly longer Qingming holidays are upon us, we’d already be dating for more than half a month. It’s not unreasonable for you to bring me home so I can meet your parents, right?” Wei Zilin said. “I really want your parents to acknowledge us, and I want your parents to know that I’m watching over their daughter in B City. That way, they can leave their daughter in my hands without having to worry.”
Xu Moyan nodded slowly. “Alright.”
Wei Zilin seemed to heave a sigh of relief as well. “Then after we come back from Qingming, will you come home with me as well?”
Xu Moyan paused, but she nodded eventually anyway. “Alright, I’ll do as you say.”
Wei Zilin rubbed her hair. He loved the way she prioritized him over everything else, not out of a sense of ego, but because he knew it stemmed from how deeply she loved him.
That was why he was happy, and why he treasured her best intentions.
He could tell that this topic made her nerves flare up again when they had just settled, so Wei Zilin said, “You don’t have to worry. I’ll bring you to the old master first. In our family, the old master’s word is law. Besides, he doesn’t believe in marrying others of the same class, so anyone’s fine as long as they’re nice. Look at Wei Ran. She and my older brother had to suffer so much hardship, but the old master acknowledged them in the end, didn’t he? Eventually, it was still the old master who stepped forth and solved a lot of their problems for them. That’s why he’s the person you have to worry about the least.”
Xu Moyan nodded slowly, but he could tell that she still was not very confident.
Wei Zilin could not say much to help her with that. Most of her nerves were common to every girl meeting her future in-laws, so it was no wonder she was anxious.
All of it came down to the day when he could introduce her to the old master. Once that was done, she could truly relax.
He wanted to distract her slightly so she did not harp on that matter, so he said, “Tell me about your parents. As their son-in-law, I should meet them soon too, so I’m really nervous.”
Xu Moyan gave him a little glare. They were not even married yet, so how was he their son-in-law?
When Wei Zilin saw her reaction, he reached over to kiss her, but Xu Moyan hurriedly stopped him, saying, “Do you want me to tell you, or not?”
“Tell me,” Wei Zilin said with a warm smile.
Xu Moyan leaned her head on his chest and found a comfortable position before she said slowly, “To be honest, my family is really normal. Both of my parents are high school teachers, and my mother’s now the principal of her school. My father works at the same school as a geography teacher. My mom wasn’t the principal before I started high school; she taught English then. At their school, teachers would teach the same class from the first year to the third, and when their students graduated, they would go back to teaching the freshmen. That’s why the two of them are always especially busy when their students are seniors.”
Xu Moyan spoke slowly, and the room was very quiet as well. As he listened, Wei Zilin twirled the ends of her hair around his fingers. Xu Moyan leaned into Wei Zilin’s embrace, feeling especially relaxed. Even her voice sounded a little laid-back and lazy.
Right now, actually, the way Xu Moyan spoke was very similar to how Wei Zilin talked.
“Because their teachers, they’re especially strict when it comes to my studies too, and they have very high hopes for me. They wanted me to get into a good school,” Xu Moyan said.
“And you didn’t disappoint them,” Wei Zilin added.
Now, Xu Moyan was feeling a little embarrassed. “I did okay. Jin City’s school requirements are lower, too. After I graduated from high school and they didn’t have to worry about me anymore, they became less strict. Well, even when they were strict, they still loved me deeply.”
After she graduated from college, though, their concerns shifted from her academic achievements to her love life. Every time she went home, ‘boyfriend’ became a common word in every conversation, and they kept trying to introduce her to suitable young men.
Although Xu Moyan did not like that, she still went home to visit her parents every time. After all, she could not refuse to go home just because she did not like being matchmade.
She had her own principles. Since she heard Yu Linling’s voice way back then, her heart would not skip for anyone else her family introduced.
Every time the matchmaking failed, it was always because the other party was interested but she was not. As a result, her family nagged at her countless times, telling her not to be so picky. They even asked her exasperatedly, what kind of guy did she like?
However, she could not say that it was because she already had Yu Linling in her heart. She could not tell them that she did not want to date anyone else, all because of that man’s voice.
If she did tell anyone that, they would probably think she was crazy. To dedicate her heart to someone she had never met all because of his voice was nothing short of childish insanity.
If her parents knew, they would berate her, saying that she was no longer a child. She should have outgrown that fangirl stage, and she could not sacrifice her love life over an internet fantasy. Besides, he was a man who had never revealed his face before, so as far as anyone else knew, Xu Moyan would never meet Yu Linling over her entire life.
She knew that too. If she had not met Wei Zilin, would she really spend her whole life obsessing over a voice, only to end up alone forever?
Thankfully, however, she met him. She never stopped being thankful for that.
She met Wei Zilin, she met Yu Linling, and so her deep love did not go to waste. Yu Linling was no longer someone she could not see or touch through the internet, someone she might never encounter all her life.
She was lying in his arms right now, happy and secure.
Xu Moyan thought that she was simply too fortunate and that the heavens really did favor her.
When her thoughts wandered to that, she felt that her parents would not be in a rush to introduce this guy or that to her when she went home this year, so that would be a burden off her shoulders.
With that, she chuckled, her heart feeling light. This was the first time she could go home without feeling any pressure since she came to B City to work.
“What are you laughing at?” When he saw how happily she was laughing, Wei Zilin’s spirits soared as well. His eyes twinkled, the light reflecting beautifully.
Xu Moyan was hypnotized for a moment, and she took a moment before she said, “I was just thinking how ecstatic my parents would be when I bring you back home this year.”
Wei Zilin lowered his head and looked at her happily, his eyes filled with nothing but her. With his head lowered, he kisses her, holding her in his embrace tightly, and pressing her against the bed. Xu Moyan was like the tiniest of fallen leaves drifting in the storm, tossing and turning whatever way the wind changes, completely incapable of the slightest resistance.
Just as she was beginning to think that she was going to break past that last barrier with Wei Zilin tonight, Wei Zilin suddenly let go of her and rubbed the back of her head, holding her in his arms.
Her forehead touched his Adam’s apple, and she could the slight vibrations of his throat when he spoke. His voice was taut with desire but even more tempting than ever. “Let’s sleep.”
With that, he kissed her forehead and pressed her forehead into the crook of his neck. It was a perfect match.
Xu Moyan did not dare to move, and she could not say what she was feeling just then.
If he wanted to take the relationship further, she would not say no. As long as it was him, she would not have declined even if it was their first day dating.
However, he clearly still remembered his promise. He said he would not treat things casually, and that he would take it slow. He would not hurry her, so she could rest easy.
His kind consideration made her feel unspeakably loved and moved, so she closed her eyes in his embrace, completely at ease.
…
However, things did not always go according to plan.
Two days from the Qingming holidays, Wei Zilin suddenly had to go for a business trip.
With Wei Zilin’s help, Xu Moyan successfully completed her dubbing task, and the recordings were given to Nan Jingheng.
Wei Zilin had even bought two train tickets to Jin City, so he was ready to go home with Xu Moyan as soon as the holidays started.
Now, however, Wei Zilin had to go on a trip, and there was no helping it.
Wei Zilin mentioned this at night, at Wei Yang Garden. “I’ll try my best to get back before the holidays begin, but if I can’t, I’ll be back on the first day of the holidays, latest. Why don’t you go back home first, and I’ll meet you in Jin City?”
Xu Moyan thought that was fine too, so she agreed. “If you really can’t make it back, you don’t have to rush. Jin City isn’t that far, so we could even make a trip over a weekend sometime.”
“That works,” Wei Zilin said. “But I do want to stay for a few more days, so I can leave a better impression on my in-laws. If we go back on a weekend, we’ll have to leave after spending one short night there. That way, I won’t have much to interact with them, and it’d be hard for us to get to know each other.”
Xu Moyan glared at him, a little exasperated. Ever since they mentioned going to Jin City to meet her parents over the Qingming holidays, he had been shamelessly calling them his in-laws.
They had just started dating, and he had not even proposed yet, but it seemed like he was skipping all those steps.
Xu Moyan was actually quite worried that he would get used to it and end up calling her parents his in-laws to their faces when they returned to Jin City. That would give her parents a shock.
