The River Gods Bridegroom

The summer night wind was dry and hot. Wanting to see the moon, I surfaced again.

I sat under the bridge, watching the reflection on the water for a while.

Suddenly, I saw a familiar figure again.

Both familiar and a little strange.

I craned my neck to peek.

It really was Xie Yu!

He seemed to have matured quite a bit.

Tall and imposing, with broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and long legs, just like a model from a magazine.

Beside him was a girl.

The girl was dressed exquisitely and fashionably, wearing all the luxury brands from magazines.

Girl: “A-Yu, won’t you reconsider~”

“Look, I have big breasts, long legs, and a great figure. Our families are well-matched, and everyone at home is trying to set us up!”

“We’re such a perfect match!” the girl whined, “Plus, I like you so much, won’t you consider it?”

Xie Yu’s tone was lazy and indifferent: “If I don’t like you, how can I consider it?”

The girl stomped her foot: “Xie Yu! How can you be so heartless?

“Your grandfather is so ill, and his only wish is to see you settle down and get married. Aren’t you going to fulfill his wish?”

Xie Yu’s grandfather is ill?

That shouldn’t be right. I visited him a while ago, and the old man was still full of vigor, even gnawing on chicken drumsticks!

I was about to continue listening when a toad jumped onto my shoulder.

Me: “Damn it!”
