A Zero-Point Exam [Marriage Before Love]

The first thing Qi Yang did after graduating and returning home was meet up with his friends to enjoy the little time he had left as a bachelor.

On a leafy campus in summer, he was lucky enough to witness a confession.

The girl spoke with a lively lilt. “I do have a fiancé, but I’ve never met him, and I don’t like him. Senior, if you’re willing to be with me, I’ll tell my mom to break off our arranged engagement. If you aren’t, I’ll just have to make do with him.” Halfway through, she seemed to realize that didn’t sound quite right. “But, Senior, I’m not trying to force you into anything. If you don’t like me, that’s... that’s okay too...”

Qi Yang let out an astonished “Whoa!” The girl turned around. He pretended nothing was amiss and launched into a string of English, passing himself off as an international student.

As he turned away, he thought, That poor fiancé. He’s getting cheated on from the start.

A few days later, he saw the girl outside the Civil Affairs Bureau.

That was when Qi Yang realized the one wearing the green hat was him.

The zodiac year really does bring bad luck.
