Blueprints of Time

As Wu Meifen emerged from Ling Wei's small cabin, retying the sash of her outer shirt, she found herself face-to-face with her aunt, Wu Chen's wife, and her cousin, Zhang Mingyi. Zhang Mingyi's eyes widened in shock. "Why are you coming out from there?"

Her aunt, already letting her imagination run wild, gasped, "Xiao Fen, you?!"

At that exact moment, Ling Wei followed Wu Meifen out, still fumbling with her own disheveled outerwear. "Ms. Wu, you don't have to-" Ling Wei began, intending to tell Wu Meifen she felt much better and didn't need further assistance. But she stopped short when she noticed Wu Meifen standing stock-still, her eyes locked on her aunt and cousin, who were staring at them in disbelief.

Sensing the brewing storm and the potential for scandal, Wu Meifen swiftly took control of the situation. "It's exactly what Auntie thinks," she declared, her voice steady. "And I have come to agree to this marriage."

"You!!" The exclamation came in unison, filled with shock and disbelief. Wu Meifen's aunt and cousin were left speechless, their minds racing to comprehend the sudden revelation. Meanwhile, Ling Wei, caught off guard, stood 70% confused and 30% bewildered, her heart racing as she processed what had just happened. Had her crush just proposed to her, albeit indirectly? The thought sent a thrill through her, mingling excitement with the lingering confusion.

It's an original work written by me.
