Chapter 9: In This Life, We Both Are Doing Swell, Part Two—translated by Michimochi (proofread by EvlNabiki & Trespasserby; C/E edited by lucathia)

I couldn't return the body. Even if I could, I couldn't bear to leave Dàgē and Xiǎomèi. So I could only make up for it in a different way. I could marry her, protecting the Ice Emperor's little brother, and naturally take Mom in as my mother-in-law. Then I could call her "Mom." This was the best solution I could come up with.

Guan Weijun was stunned. Junjun as well. Both of their eyes were wide open, as if they had suddenly seen me go crazy. Well, I admit that this sudden marriage proposal was a bit crazy. But hey, yesterday, Guan Weijun had only taken one look and had wanted to marry Dàgē. I, at least, had been looking at her for several days already. There isn't a need for this level of surprise, right?

Guan Weijun rolled her eyes exaggeratedly and huffed, "I'm not interested in little boys. Scram, let your big brother come!"

I was in an awkward position. Dàgē did say he could marry her, but that was absolutely not okay. This was my own problem. I couldn't just let Dàgē sacrifice himself and marry a woman he didn't even like!

As for Dàgē ever becoming fond of Guan Weijun, chances were... and this was not me putting myself down or anything, but in my last life, I really wasn't some great beauty. This Guan Weijun in front of me was even worse at prettying herself up than me, and would barely pass for an athletic cutie. Compared to that deceased, gorgeous assassin who had knocked on our door, they were fundamentally two different species.

"What's with that look on your face! I think your big brother is a bit interested in me!"

I looked at Guan Weijun skeptically.

Guan Weijun huffed coldly, "Not convinced? Go back and ask your brother. You, on the other hand, are not even the least bit interested in me, yet you dared to open your mouth to propose. If it wasn't for you being my future little brother-in-law, I'd have beaten you up until you're stuck on the wall!"

I helplessly said, "My big brother only saw you once. How can he be interested in you? He might not even remember your hair color."

Glaucous green hair had come into fashion for a time, but that was my natural hair color in my last life. It wasn't dyed, and I wasn't sure which generation had brought in the genes of this kind of hair color. Even Mom didn't know.

"So what if he doesn't remember my hair color?" Guan Weijun confidently said, "My legs definitely left an impression. He peeped at least twice!"

In my last life, I had indeed had a pair of long legs, but they weren't all that special...

I dipped my head and stared at her legs. They were sturdy and slender. Her thighs were tightly closed, and the calves had a nice silhouette. These were definitely legs that had gone through intense training. If I remembered correctly, that deceased glamorous assassin seemed to have had a pair of strong athletic legs as well. Don't tell me, Dàgē is into these kinds of legs?

In my previous life, I had only developed such legs after the apocalypse happened. Madly fleeing for one's life was something everyone knew how to do.

"If he's as uninterested in me as you are, then I wouldn't be targeting him!" Guan Weijun huffed, "Did you think I was that shameless?"

No matter how I look at it, you are that shameless! I held my forehead, and had no choice but to say, "Fine. Go chase after my big brother. If you catch his eyes, be my sister-in-law. If you can't, then I'll marry you."
