"Forgive me for loving freedom all my life, wild and unrestrained..."
As he spoke, Gao Shou actually began to sing a cappella.
Then he looked at Lu Xun again, his expression turning solemn. "In the deep blue sky hung a golden full moon, and below lay the sandy beach by the sea..."
"Brother Xun, long time no see."
At this, Lu Xun jolted and sprang to his feet. "Runtu, you're Runtu!"
"No, I'm a zha!"
Gao Shou finally couldn't hold it in any longer and burst out laughing.
Then Gao Shou looked at the girl Lu Xun had brought along and smiled. "This must be sister-in-law, right? Hello, sister-in-law."
Only after saying that did Gao Shou finally take his seat.
Once seated, Gao Shou looked Zhao Cheng over again and again, seemingly trying to figure out whether he had mistaken him for someone else.

Zhao Cheng went along with it smoothly.
"Then where is she from?!"
"Her ancestral home is in Julu County."
"What are her family circumstances like?"
"A scholarly family."
"How did she take a liking to you?"
"By her parents' command and the matchmaker's word."
"Damn it, what an evil arranged marriage."
"So you haven't even met her?"
"No."
"Then what about photos?!"
"The girl doesn't have the habit of using a phone."
"???"
"!"
"Wait, Chengzi. Buying a wife from overseas is against the law."
"So what are the girl's family circumstances? Don't tell me it's a gambling father, a sick mother, and a younger brother in school..."
Gao Shou felt that things were beginning
