Yet there is sunshine

[Story is not mine, I am just translating from Chinese to English]

"Are you sure about this?"
"Of course, marriage, it doesn't matter who I marry. Song Guansheng is good, his character is decent, and most importantly, I really don't want to go on blind dates anymore."
The friend hesitated, "But... he's your ex-boyfriend."

Shi Chunan shrugged, "So what? Is there a rule that says you can't marry your ex-boyfriend?"
In truth, she had no certainty at all. After all, Song Guan had a very firm character; when he said it was over, it was over, without ever looking back.
Driven by impulse one day, she intercepted Song Guan.
"Marriage?"
"Sure."
He agreed too quickly, and Shi Chunan almost thought she misheard.
So she reiterated several times:
"Let's be clear, when I say marriage, I mean just to satisfy our elders. Don't take it too seriously. Of course, if you meet someone you like in the future, we'll divorce."
He just smiled, "Okay."
Did he really understand what she was saying? Irritated, Shi Chunan threw out, "Fine, would you marry anyone who asked you?"
And then she stormed off.

Little did she know, behind her, Song Guan's gaze took on a particularly meaningful look. How could anyone agree to that?
The next morning, a car stopped in front of Shi Chunan's house, accompanied by a man holding a household register.
Underneath the facade of a marriage to appease their elders was a pair of men and women testing each other.
Some people took one step forward and two steps back, while others took one step back and three steps forward, gradually closing the distance.
