Begging You to Break Off This Engagement!

7.3

Translated by Amaryllideae, Edited by Hippo

Xi Yanqing came over to borrow a plane, wanting to smooth off a couple of boards. He didn't expect to see Luo Fei squatting by the entrance of the Luo home.

"Luo Fei?" Xi Yanqing quickly walked over in confusion. "How come you are out here?"

"No reason." Luo Fei turned his face away and quickly wiped it, trying hard to even out the sound of his voice to be natural. "What are you doing here?"

"I'm here to borrow something. Are you all right?" Xi Yanqing also squatted down and looked at Luo Fei carefully. He asked quietly, "Are you homesick?"

"Yeah." Luo Fei nodded. The tears that had been held back suddenly dripped down because of this sentence. Like a child, he buried his head into the crook of his arms without making any bit of noise and just kept rubbing his eyes on his sleeves.

"What happened?" Xi Yanqing gently touched Luo Fei once. Luo Fei was originally younger than him. In their previous world, he was eighteen, four years younger than himself. Now in this world, he was still eighteen, but just two years younger than himself. It can be said that he is considered an adult now, but in his heart, he was still like a child who was half his age.

"...I promised the family that I would, I would marry you." Luo Fei said, "But don't misunderstand, I'm just going to go live with you. You said, that we have a common language."

"Well, we will have a more common language than anyone else." Xi Yanqing patted Luo Fei's shoulder. "Get up now, at night the wind is chilly. I promise that the life you live after coming to me will only be better than here."

"Really?"

"Really, truer than pearls. (Play on words, "really" is "真的" and "pearls" is "珍珠". Both 真and 珍 are pronounced "zhen".) You are younger than me. Besides, in name, you are still my fiancée, so I will definitely be good to you."

"Whose fiancee." Luo Fei stood up and kneaded his numb legs. "Dammit, if I knew that it would be like this, it would have been better to just compromise in the beginning and avoid being beaten. What a temper Father has, I just couldn't help but challenge him and say two sentences and he already got angry, it's like he's the sky monkey!"(literally "his Chinese zodiac must be the sky monkey" which is probably referencing how Sun Wukong or the "Monkey King" wrecked and raged in the heavens.)

"You were beaten?!" Xi Yanqing was very happy to hear that Luo Fei had agreed to get married. However, once he heard that Luo Fei had been beaten, he immediately felt 10,000 unhappinesses.

"Yeah." Luo Fei gently rubbed his butt. "This should be the last time, so it doesn't matter."

"Let's go in, I will support you." Xi Yanqing helped support Luo Fei and walked very slowly and very carefully.

Luo Fei looked at him doubtfully. was it an illusion? Why did he always feel that after arriving here, Xi Yanqing seemed to act very differently towards him?

They didn't meet often in the last life, they would only see each other occasionally, or if there were any activities in school, as Xi Yanqing might come to see Liang Boyuan. And his sentiment about Xi Yanqing at that time was: Annoying!

Always beside his male god, an eye-sore! And if his male god and the eyesore didn't break up, he wouldn't have any chance!

But now, Xi Yanqing was like a big brother, very good to him.

They used to be love rivals, but now they came here together and were on the same boat for the better or the worse. (The Chinese idiom for this and "in the same boat" is grasshoppers on the same rope lol)

Luo Fei sighed quietly. After entering the house, he did not look up and went straight into his small bedroom.

On one hand, Luo Tian was still fueled by some anger, as he felt that Luo Fei didn't try to improve. On the other hand, he felt conflicted and didn't know if what he did was right or wrong, leading to him struggling with himself. However seeing that Xi Yanqing came over, his anger diminished.

"Xi Yu ah, how come you are here?" He was afraid that this form of address (Xi Yanqing's "previous" name) wouldn't be able to change for a while now.

"Uncle, I was here to see Erbao, and I also wanted to borrow a plane (carpenter's tool) from you." Xi Yanqing glanced towards the small room, "Erbao he..."

(Chinese plane)

"He did something wrong and still didn't admit his mistakes, he had a small temper tantrum, don't worry about him." Luo Tian said, "Here, sit. I have two planes, one big one and one small one. What are you making?" "

"I want to make a cabinet." After Xi Yanqing returned home, he found that there was too much to clean and organize. Even after two or three days he could not finish so he only did the simple things that he could do, like cleaning the field. The garbage was cleaned up, the weeds in the garden were removed and all the corners of the house were wiped. The things that could be placed were placed. There was still a lot to be done, but there were too many things he was missing in the house, and could only slowly fill it up one by one.

"Since it's a cabinet, then just take both of them when you go." Luo Tian thought for a moment. "Forget it, let's find a good day. Let's go up the mountain together to find some good wood, dry it in the sun and then talk about it later. I have to make a new table anyway." Luo Tian pointed to the table that was broken by himself not long ago.

Notes: XYQ is so nice OwO
