A Marriage Midway

Three characters are etched into Qiao Miao's heart. At nineteen, just thinking of those three characters makes her heart ache. At twenty-three, she becomes his secretary, dealing with all the women fluttering around him. At twenty-six, with a high wall between them, she buries the name Rong Xiuye in the dust. When they meet again, she belongs to another man. He says, "Qiao Miao, if you wanted to leave me, you could have told me. Why did you have to go with that man?" So she spends half a month bedridden. When news of her engagement to another man spreads across Beicheng, he finally comes to his senses and tries to take her away. But she asks him, "Sir, do we know each other?" The Bratty Kid Chronicles: A certain child is watching Journey to the West when a certain man comes over to watch it with his son. The child says, "Dad, can you call me Sun Wukong?" The man asks, "Why?" The child continues, "You'll know once you do." The man frowns and calls him Sun Wukong. The little brat immediately says, "Grandpa's right here!" The man's face turns livid. Don't stop me, I'm going to beat this brat to a pulp! When you think of me, do you ever find yourself unable to sleep, just like I do? --- Qiao Miao and Rong Xiuye
