Her sister left in a huff.
Ge'er took the clothes her sister brought to her room to change. They fit perfectly, and she came out to tell Shang Jincheng that her sister had also left.
Shang Jincheng grabbed her hand, "Aren't you eating?"
Ge'er frowned, "Shang Jincheng, don't push it. I'm not stupid, can't I solve my own meals? Was I starved before I met you? Let go."
Shang Jincheng didn't let go.
"It's our first day of marriage, no matter how you ate before, you must eat this meal with me today."
Hearing him mention "newlywed," Ge'er got angry and pulled her hand away.
"I'll tell you one last time, we are not married! That was just me being confused for a moment... If you keep this up, I'll really get angry!"
Seeing that he couldn't keep her, Shang Jincheng panicked.
"Zhan Jingge, you don't trust me that much, do you really think I'm sick? Fine, then we won't eat. We'll go to the hospital right now, you can watch me get checked up, and I'll shove a healthy check-up report in your face!"
Ge'er was truly exasperated with him.
Before, she only knew he wasn't good at studying and had a low IQ. Now, it seemed his brain was just wired wrong, and she couldn't make him understand.
"I don't want to eat with you, not because I'm afraid you're sick, that was just an excuse, Shang Jincheng. I simply don't want to be with you, I don't want to marry you. Is that direct enough? Can you understand that?"
Shang Jincheng certainly understood.
But how could he give up after finally getting the person he liked?
He held her hand tightly.
"I don't care. We definitely won't get divorced, and today is our wedding anniversary. In the future, if there isn't a perfect ending, you'll definitely blame me, saying I wasn't persistent enough back then, that I wasn't firm enough with you. So you must eat this meal with me today!"
"..."
Ge'er was so angry she could cry.
If only she were stronger, she would have loved to beat him to the ground.
"Fine. I'll eat with you. But I'll say it again. We are just ordinary friends right now. Don't talk to me about marriage or anything like that."
Shang Jincheng coaxed and tricked her into the car. Ge'er sat in the passenger seat, not looking at him, staring out the window the whole time.
"What do you want to eat? I'll book a restaurant in advance."
She was listless, "Whatever you think, anything is fine."
"Anything?" Shang Jincheng's lips curved into a sly smile.
"You said it yourself, don't regret it later."
Hearing his tone, she knew he had bad intentions and immediately regretted her words.
As they passed a chain hot pot restaurant by the roadside, she pointed out the window and said,
"Then here, let's have hot pot. Stop the car, stop the car."
The two finally settled down and entered the hot pot restaurant.
After ordering the broth and side dishes, Shang Jincheng asked if she wanted to drink.
Ge'er just wanted to get rid of him quickly, how could she have the mood to drink with him?
"No, thank you."
"Then have some juice, I'll pour it for you."
Seeing him in a good mood and trying to please her, Ge'er lost her temper again.
After taking a few sips of juice to calm herself down, she looked at him with a more composed expression.
"Since we're both sitting down, let's have a good chat. Shang Jincheng, I'm going to ask you a few questions next. Do you dare to tell the truth?"
Shang Jincheng knew what she was going to ask without even thinking, and assumed a "bring it on" attitude.
"Ask away. Whoever doesn't tell the truth is a bastard."
"Alright then, I'll ask you, from childhood to adulthood, how many girlfriends have you had? Can you count them on ten fingers?"
Shang Jincheng brushed off her question and smiled triumphantly.
"What's your standard for a girlfriend? If eating a meal together or attending a party counts, then I'm sorry, I can't even count them on my ten fingers and toes."
Having many girlfriends is something to be proud of?
Shameless.
Ge'er tapped her fingers on the table, ordering him to be serious.
"My standard for a girlfriend is different from yours. I mean, have you ever felt moved by her, liked her? Do you know what it feels like to like someone? It's seeing her makes you happy, and not seeing her makes you feel lost. According to my definition, how many have you had?"
Shang Jincheng blurted out without even thinking.
"None. By your standard, not a single one so far."
Ge'er was almost shocked to death.
"You're too much of a scumbag, Shang Jincheng. Messing around with so many women, sleeping with countless people, and in the end, you haven't been moved by a single one?"
Shang Jincheng raised an eyebrow, "Who told you I slept with them all?"
"Didn't sleep with them? Oh, suddenly playing innocent? Anyway, you men can't tell if they've... well, you're trying to trick me, aren't you?"
Shang Jincheng was speechless.
She was right, men couldn't tell if they had... well, he was unable to defend himself.
"Anyway, I've told you the truth. Believe it or not. Are you done asking?"
Ge'er rolled her eyes at him, "You don't dare to tell the truth, so what's the point of asking? I'm done."
"Alright, it's my turn to ask you."
Shang Jincheng looked at her intently, "Do you dare to tell the truth?"
Ge'er retorted, "What do I not dare to say? You just want to ask how many boyfriends I've had, right? Feel free to ask around, I haven't had a single one since I was a child."
To her surprise, Shang Jincheng didn't believe her either.
"Haven't had a single one, does that mean you've never been moved by anyone?"
"I don't believe that in all these years you haven't liked any man. I've told you the truth, Zhan Jingge, don't be a sore loser."
Ge'er was momentarily stunned by his words. After a few seconds, she told the truth.
"I'm a normal person too. It's impossible to say I've never liked a man. But that was a long time ago, and I've never told anyone about it."
"So there really was someone?"
"What? Do I have to tell you the name of the person I had a crush on?"
Shang Jincheng didn't need her to say it; he knew the name of the person she had a crush on.
"Lei Dongyi, right? If I'm not mistaken, the person you had a crush on is Lei Dongyi."
Ge'er was shocked by him.
Her crush on Lei Dongyi happened in middle school. He moved abroad with his family after graduating from high school. Even Tiantian didn't know about it, so how did he know?
Seeing her expression, Shang Jincheng knew he had guessed correctly and gave a proud yet sad smile.
"Don't ask me how I know. There's nothing about you that I don't know. How many years have we known each other? Do you believe me when I say I remember exactly which of your baby teeth fell out when you were nine?"
His words didn't bring Ge'er joy; instead, she looked down on him again.
"Yeah, we've known each other for so many years, there's no novelty at all. How can we develop into a couple like this?"
"Let's not waste each other's time. I can't tolerate anything out of place. If you marry me, you can never interact with other women again. So, hurry up and get a divorce."
Shang Jincheng hadn't expected her to be so resistant, no matter what he said, it didn't reach her heart.
Seeing her determination to divorce, he lost all appetite.
